The Messenger endeayors at all
times to be careful Of its facts, but
its recent statement that Mr.. Goebel
was the author of the section in the
new constitution that prohibits the
consolidation of competing lines Of
railroads, it is now advised, was
not true. That honor belongs to
Hon. ]. d. Clardy, of Christian
county, and it is in entire keeping
with the public record of the gen
tleman who for two terms, after his
service in the constitutional conven-
ton made such an admirable re-
cord as member of congress from
the Second district. -Owensboro

The insurance companies have
reached a point where they cannot
resume business in Missouri until
they lower their rates. On the
other hand the companies, since
the Appellate Court decision, boldly
announce their purpose to form in
Louisville one immense combine,
embracing all of the agencies worth
speaking of. Missouri may be
called upon to tell the next Ken
lucky Legislature how she did it.

The Louisville Post quotes w. c.
Owens as follows:
II shall vote the straight Repub-
lican ticket this fall, and every
friend l can influence will do the
same. l shall in this way disap-
prove of the force, fraud and rob-
berry of the Louisville convention. '
Owens was bolter in 1896 and
really had no business in the con-
vention. This view of the matter
was taken by the convention, and
the Scott county delegation headed
by Owens was unseated. Hence
the cry of 'fraud. "

WILL NOT TAKE HIM
John Ross Was Sentenced Six
Months Ago,
SOME HITCH IN CASE
Committed by Justice ofPeace
TO Reform School.

The county is now at the expense Of
keeping and feeding something that does
not belong to II.
Saturday Commissioner Towards atten-
ton was called 10 the matter OF John
Ross. an inmate of the county Jail, who
had been sentenced TO the state reform
school by Judge Enoch six months ago.
Commissioner Howard Immediately inves-
tigated the facts Of the case and went TO
see Judge Enoch about it. Judge Enoch
had written the superintendent Of the re-
form school several times regarding the
admission of young Ross, but could never
get permission to take him there, owing
to the crowded condition of the school.
It seems, also, that proper blanks can not
be secured on which to make the applica-
ton. This gives rise TO a question of the
Jurisdiction of justices Of the peace pass
ing upon proper subjects for the reform
school. It seems that these are cases sub
ject only TO the jurisdiction Of the probate
judge; but, if this be true, the law has
been violated time and again.
Justices of the peace have been sentenc-
ing boys TO the reform school right along,
and heretofore these boys have been ac-
cepted without protest. Judge Eno6h
uses this as justification for his sentence

letter 10 show that while perhaps the SEN
tence is not according TO the law, strictly.
such commitments have always hereto

same as though they were direct from the

mr.. E. E. Enoch Wichita, Kansas.
Dear Sir-Your letter of he 10th inst
duly received, and in answer Will say that
We have no blanks for a justice of the
peace, and it is a question in my mind
whether a justice has jurisdiction in the
matter Of sending a boy to this institution
our papers are all made for probate court
There have been good many commit
ments from justice courts TO this institu-
ton, and the boys have, as a rule, been re-
ceived: but the papers were made as
though the boy was TO be committed to
the county jail, except the name.
Some two or three years ago We had a
ruling from the attorney general that jus
tees Of the peace could not commit boy
to the reform school. We have never sub
mitted the question 10 our present attor-
ney general, but have received some boys
so committed I Will enclose blanks such
as We have, and you will see that they
are made for probate court. Very respect
fully, j. NJ. HART. Superintendent"

county's hands according to the opinion

before the probate court and sent up to
