The Burlington Jeffersonian follows Up

THE Jeffersonian has been asked several
times to roast the members of the state
legislature for its action during the spe

this paper the legislature did just about
right. There was no reason on earth why
the members should donate their time and
pay their own expenses in order TO attend
the special session. although OF course no
enc would have objected had they done il.
1t was perfectly right for them to vote

propriety Of voting aid to the people in the

great difference of opinion, nut it looks to
the JeffersOnian as though it was best not

enormous and Armourdale after the flood
was without doubt the most Gesolate place

that those who would receive the aid

NEED OF CHEAP GAS.
P. s. Withers Says It May Solve the
Coal Situation.

To the Editor of the State Journal.
Contemplating the outlook for the
coming winters supply of fuel, it seems
that the consumer is likely to be further
distressed than last winter. If the
chances continue, a strike of coal miners
is inevitable An additional increase Of
II per cent added to the already ex-
orbitant cost of a ton of coal in To-
peka, renders the plan to pipe natural
gas TO every town in the state, impera-
tive, thus hedging in or precluding a pos
sibility of coal dealers corraling all the
cash in the community.
Now, instead of the companies trying
to alleviate the pressure of coal and gas
operators, we find disposition on the
part of some one else. other than these
promoters to secure a great bid graft
enjoying some of the pleasure and profit
accruing to the present operators in fuel.
Competition is the life of trade" and
if we have only one store, one black
smith shop, one doctor. one lawyer, and
one of each of the necessary adjuncts of
human commerce we may sooner or Ia
ter be forced to absolute peonage de-
spite the constitution, which always fol-
lows the proud gonfalon of the great
and glorious American republic.
If people in authority do not look to
the interest of the masses, turn them
out get some more, and keep on and on
getting others until finally a happy
medium ensues, and finds happy and
condition.

JACKSON, KY, June 11.-Putting tho

in others. The soldiers on guard and on
picket duty are authorized to make ar
rests anywhere and take their prisoners
before the grand jury, and not before
Inspector Hines also continues to be a
matter Of respect. as we'll as OF anxious
speculation. The closing of the blind
tigers and the vigilant patrol Of the
troops to see that the closing orders of
the provost marshal are rigidly enforced
have stopped the random firing in and
about the town at night, and also have
made quite a difference during the day.
In the town there Is a general Impression
that Governor Beckham proposes to have
order in Jackson and let the law take its
course in Breathitt county.
