HE GOT THE SPOON.
The Guessing Contest Decided
in Favor of Mr.. Egbert
Stephens.

Some time ago guessing con-
test was opened by Mr.. Robert
w. Tilford at the drug store OF
Messrs. LeCompte & Gayle Co.
the person who guessed the exact
day the new bridge would be
thrown open to vehicle travel to
receive an old bridge souvenir
spoon. Each guess was recorded
in a book and the race for the
spoon was represented in the show
window by a miniature race be-
tween horses named March, April,
May and June and mule named
Old Christmas. The horses and
mule, with their jockeys,
were cut out Of card board
and colored by Mr.. Hervey
Bergman, who has considerable
talent as a cartoonist, and it was
amusing to watch the changed
positions of the animals as the
news in regard to the work on the
bridge and the probability of its
acceptance when completed came
in. March was in the lead most
of the time, but once he dropped
away back. and Old Christmas
forged to the front and looked like
a sure winner. Finally March
borke his bride threw dust in the
faces of the others and romped
under the wire half length away
from Old Christmas.
Those who guessed the correct
date Of the opening-March 24th
were Mrs. John d. Griffin, Miss
Mary Med. Clore and Mr.. Egbert
Stephens, and it was decided by
lot which Of them should receive
the spoon-Mr. Stephens drawing
the lucky bean and walking off
with the trophy.

economy to start the erection of
buildings suited only to the needs of
the day. There was once a time
when the present rattle-trap of a
State House was thought to be amply
sufficient for all the needs of the
Commonwealth. 1t has been the
policy of our rivals to oppose any
thing tending towards a permanent
building for fear the people would be
80 well satisfied that there would be
no chance for moving the seat Of
government. Both city and State
have been the victims of this jeal-
ousy. Now, however, let us hope the
matter is settled once for all, and the
clinching nail will be driven when a
Capitol is commenced whose beauty

General Comment.

It would seem after all that Brock
inridge's "vindication" amounts to
nothing more or less than an attack
on Miss Pollard's character previous
to their first meeting. His friends
had hoped that he had some better
defense than this, but it has not been
developed. As it stands, even though
he may win his case 90 far as the
damage suit is concerned, it will
avail him nothing with the people
in fact the very ground upon which
he bases his side of the case have
done more than anything else to
ALLEVIATE from him the votes of his
district. Where he was formerly re-
garded az victim to indiscretions,
Of which few men are not guilty in
some form or other, he is now looked
upon as q heartless, snivelling hypo-
critic, who has not the manhood to
face the consequence Of his own
wrong-doing but must needs saddle
everything upon the partner of his
guilt. "The woman did it" has been
used as a cover by Adam and his
decendents long enough. A change
would be refreshing.
It is true that Congressman could
not by any course of procedure have
gained the high position which he
held previous to his being found out;
but if he had acknowledged his guilt
like a man and appealed to the
charity Of his constituents, remind
ing them of their liability to 60 astray
under the same temptations, and
above all, doing nothing to cast
additional infamy upon the woman
who had heavy enough load to bear
already--he would then have been
looked upon as gentleman at least,
and one whose gifts were such as to
plead with his people against his
weakness. Kentuckians, and partic-
ularly those of the Blue Grass section,
may be noted for the indulgence
with which they regard the vices of
their public men, but the hypocracy
which has been practiced by Brock
inridge appeals to no such sentiment
in the breast of any man worthy Of
the name. Scorn is what it deserves
and scorn is what it excites.
The opening of the new bridge and
the starting of the new street car
line are such favorable anguries of
what Frankfort can do that I am
encouraged to think my dreams of
new Capital perched upon Fort Hill
may yet be realized. The idea of
such street railway as we now have
was secuted at few years since. but
now it is here. Even few people
may accomplish wonders when they
keep "pegging at it." Why cannot
the Board Of Trade or some specially
organized body of the people of
Frankfort go to work on this Capitol
question and educate the people of
the State at large up to the point
where they willemphatically demand
the desired action from the Legisla-
tureP The time is ample and the
amount of money required will not
be great. An illustrated pamphlet
showing the beauty and desirability
of the site will speak eloquently. and
when the proper time comes the mat
ter may be made an issue in the
contests. All great mat
tiers have had small beginning and
honestly believe the plan l have
outlined may be made complete
success.
OF course it is not to~be expected
that Fort Hill can be changed from it's
present appearance to landscape
garden in day or year. But the

owns and operates them in the inter
est of the people.
In Australia you can ride a distance
of 1000 miles across theecountry for
$3.50, frsteIass, too, while workmen can
ride six miles for 2 cents, u miles for
cents. 80 miles for 10 cents, etc, and
railroad men receive from % to 80 per
cent more wages for eight hours of Ia
Dor than they are paid in this country
for 10 hours of toll.
In Victoria, where the above rates
prevail, the net income from the roads
last year was sufficient to pay all the
federal taxes.
In Hungary, where the roads are
state owned, you can ride six miles for
q cent, and since the government
bought the roads wages have doubled.
Belgium tells the same story-fares
and freight rates cut down one-half
and wages doubled.
Yet the roads pay yearly revenue
to the government of 100000.
In Germany you can ride four miles
for cent on the government owned
lines. Yet wages are over 120 per cent
higher than they were when the private
corporations owned them, and during
the last 10 years the net profits have
increased Al per cent. Last year the
roads paid the German government
net profit of S25,OO0OOo Workingmen
and farmers if you like such rates as
these, vote the Peoples party ticket.
IF our government owned the rail
roads we could go to San Francisco
from Boston for SO. Look at the
proof:
Uncle Sam pays the railroads not
quite 1915 to transport loaded postal
car from Boston to San Francisco. A
passenger car will carry so passengers,
which, at $40 each, would be $500, or a
clear profit of 1925 car, and this, too,
after paying 81 per cent on watered
stock which is fully 100 per cent on the
cost of the roads.
To show how our railroads have
watered their stock we point to the
New York Central and Hudson River
railroad which, when the Vanderbilts
obtained control in 1869, was capitali-
zed at s49, 100000 They at once watered
it up to 100000. more water has
been added until the present capital
stock is $146,OOO,ooO-aH but s45,O00,o0o
being water.
Government ownership would save
the people the gigantic sum of 81 ,000,-
100000 a year and bring shorter hours
and better pay to the 100000 railroad
employees.

ALL A MISTAKE, PERHAPS.

There may be sense in the political
theories of the times. People that are
freely credited with good judgment
and keen perception in all other mat
ters may be so amazingly thick headed
that they cannot determine what is
political and economic nonsense. Tt
may be that the way to enable people
to be prosperous and to pay their debts
is to attempt to increase the value of
the dollar and to lessen the volume of
the circulating medium Perhaps the
proper course to encourage agriculture
is to place a duty on most that he buys
and admit farm products free. Pos
sibly it is in the interests of American
independence to legislate in this coun-
try to please Great Britain. We may
be in error when we suggest a system
of taxation that will reach capital and
relieve the Individual. We may be off
our base in thinking that poor man
may go to Washington if he wants to
and even ask congress for whatever he
desires. It may be that the thought
that this government was founded
upon the principle of equal rights and
equal responsibilities is delusion and
that things are not at all what they
seem. But the ordinary mind will
doubtless continue to cherish these
errors even at the risk of being called
cranky and visionary.

THE EUROPEAN LEVI.

We have now record of another
case of anarchy in Columbus.
III. r. johnson is the vice president
and manager of the Columbus and
Hooking Coal and Iron company, a
syndicate owning or controlling about
5000 acres of coal land in the Hooking
valley. At the conference which took
place in Lyndon hall, Columbus, on
Saturday, June 2, between the miners
and operators, Mr. johnson was pre-
sent as one of the delegates and spokes-
men for the operators. Mr.. William I'll.
Crawford of New StraitsviIle, Perry
county, Ohio, was present as a delegate
on behalf of the miners. In that CON
ference Mr.. johnson made use of the
following language and threat to Mr..
Crawford.
ut is not so much a question of price
that shall be paid here and there. but
a question of bringing the American
workman down to the European level .
Mr.. Crawford replied: sThe Ohio
miners stand firmly for 70 cents.
Crawford said johnson, syou men
are making a mistake in taking this
stand; the business of this country
and the wages of this country must
come down to a lower plane of prices.
There must be a leveling up process
between this country and Europe. If
you take that stand we will simpIy
close our mines, and hunger, starva-
ton and suffering viii educate the
American workmen to it.

chistic ever escape the lips of man9
