Comments on thef primary of
last Saturday, gin this county,
will not reveal facts not now
known tozthe readers of The
News, who participated in mak
ing the three tickets to be voted
for in November, but to those
outside of our realm' may be a
matter ofiNews.There being
no contests in the Republican
and Progressive ticketSjfor coun
ty offices, but little interest was
manifested, while the many who
sought Democratic nominations
were able to stir every part of
the county, and tto. arouse an un
usual interest, resulted in the
heaviest vote ever given in a
primary in thisrcounty. In fact,
taking the gains made by the
Democratic party, it shows to be
gaining strength not contem
plated by the most enthusiastic.
As we see it the main purpose
of a State primary was to elim
inate frauds so common in con
vention and party primaries
and to guarantee equal opportu
nity between aspirants. In oth
er words one offthelleading feat
ures of the law claimed by its
advocates was to eliminate boss
es and secure fair fresults. We
have never believed it could be
done under such a law,': we have
never favored State regulation
of party action, and have never
believed that gthe present law
was fair or productive of good.
The result of last, Saturday's
work in thisj countyindicates
that the primary was not equal
to a Sunday School Convention,
and it is alleged that money and

Repeal the law. The old time
convention is preferable, and
less fraud can be practiced in
one.
An Educational Creed.
The State that has the men
has the present, and the State
that has the schools has the
future. A great Commonwealth
can not be bestowed; it must be
achieved through education. Our
Commonwealth's idealization of
education is the result of the law
of self-preservation. It recog
nizes its own being as an organ
ism composedSof'spiritual atoms
that are capable of growth or
degeneration, intelligent patriot
ism or anarchy. It is natural for
our government to idealize an in
telligent, active, rational, ag
gressivejcitizen. It takes a full
grown mind to reach and a full
grown heart to feel a full-grown
democracy. It will take full
grown citizens to make a full
grown Kentucky, and a full
grown school system exploited
to the highest degree of social
and industrial efficiency to make
full-grown citizens. Our noble
boys and girls stand by our side
armed with ability and nerve
ready to accomplish the larger
Kentucky, if we will only give
them an opportunity. We greet
childhood to-day and recognize a
patriotic call for education and
more abundant education, ideas,
and more noble ideas, more gov
ernment by the teacher and less
government by the policemen,
more government by the school
house and less government by
the military camp, more and bet
ter schools and fewer jails and
penitentiaries, more scholars and
fewer criminals, more freemem
and fewer slaves, more life and
still more life. We need more
life, and every patriot will join
in the great work of putting at
the door of every child in the
land a modern school house with
equipment and sanitation, a dem
ocratic course of study, and a
teacher of scholarship, character
and personality. We believe in
a public policy and efficiency that
will ring the moral, intellectual
and industrial "rising bell" in
the life of every child in our
land.
