ROOSEVELT ON The
ifsRiGATiON LAWS.

The Presidents speech DEL, e.c,i IL
Carson was distinctively better than
the one delivered by him in Reno. !
The reason doubtless is that the Car
son speech being intended for the
State as a whole was more carefully
prepared, more closely connected and
compact 1t was also more logical
and comprehensive in its treatment OF
the irrigation problem.
Mr. Roosevelt showed tact and juds-
ment in continuing his remarks to pup
lie questions to this one unon which
our people are practically q unit ii

ly upon the great results which may
accrue to Nevada from the national
irrigation law lie vas certain 10 strike
a popular chord and offend NOBODY
Had lie gone INTO great national is
sues like the tariff the trusts, the adj
ministration's foreign policy, and
above all, the silver question, he
would have been sure to say things
which would have run counter to tho
views CT a very large majority of
Neyada's electorate. Saying simply
those things with which everybody
who heard him agreee, and saying
them in a very pleasant way, he could
not do otherwise than make a good
personal impression. That is what he
came out for and failure on his part
would have been ineXcusable.
In his treatment of the irrigation
question, Mr. Roosevelt showed both
breadth OF mind and generosity. He
sees plainly that the reclamation of
the arid West means great benefit to
the humid East as well. 1t is not liter
ally true that what benefits one sec
ton is necessarily go fer the whole
country, as he ST. -ei rather broadly.
A policy may 5enent one section at
the expense Of others. For example,
the demonstration OF silver may have
been a benef1 TO the money centers
and the money lending classes of the
East. but IL would take a mathomati-
cal wizard to figure out how 1t has
benefited Nevada. or the country in
its entirety Nj Roosevelt was clearly
right SO Jar as irrigation is concerned.
The development of a great area OF
rich agricultural lands III the West
must be Of advantage to the remain
der Of the country.
The Presidents generosity was
shown III his cordial recognition Of
the prominent part played by Nevada.
both in the enactment Of the national
law and the State legislation intended
to aid in making the national law eff
fective. He said: The State Of New
ada has led the way, not only through
the peril Of National legislation for
irrigation but also in the willingness
to test the work and | wish to lay en-
phasis on the fact that in Nevada the
authorities have been anxious in every
way to help in working out the prob
lem of irrigation and to pay all &C
knowledgement to that now The re
cent legislature passed laws that in
many respects should serve as models
for other states"

William Hancock, a farmer living
in the Long Hollow country, a few
miles west of Lafayette, attempted
suicide last Friday by allowing
half an ounce Of camphor gum. A
physician was sent for and Han
cock was soon relieved by the use
of stomach pump. When asked
why he attempted self destruction
he is quoted as saying that he was
tired OF life and wanted to die"
He had been il very bad health
for some time and it is thought that
his mind has become unbalanced.
He lives just over the line in Trigg

buildings In the city. It has in
vaded the Western Kentucky ter
ritory and now has toll lines run

ty. It's service is far ahead of that
given by the Cumberland Telephone
Company and, what is equally as
important, it's prices are very much
less.
When the franchise is sold on the
23rd inst it will be bought by a
company amply able to put in and
maintain strictly first class SER
vice. AS soon as the franchise is
sold and the sale ratified, the Cum
berland Telephone Company will
have to establish its legal right to
operate in Hopkinsville without a
franchise.
The subscribers in the country
are almost unanimously for a new
system and will be among the first
to transfer their business to the
new company. The agreement the
Cumberland is now operating under

ing Attention.
Several Up-to-Date Systems Are
Looking Into the
rlatter.

The telephone fight in Chatta-
nooga has ended in a victory for a
new franchise. BY vote of S to 3
an ordinance was passed TO sell
franchise to company that will
compete with the East Tennessee
Telephone Company.
The franchise will in all proba-
bility be bought by representative
of the Ideal Construction Co., Of
Lima, o., which company has re-
Gently put in a system at Augusta,
Ga, and is proposing to put in one
in Nashville.
This company uses the instru.
ments of the Automatic Electric
Co., of Chicago, which is making
the very latest telephones, doing
away with the cumbersome and un-
satisfactory "hello' exchanges.
The subscriber by an automatic
device makes his own connections
and only one operator to 1000
phones is required at the central
office to look after the mechanism.
This company is represented in
this territory by Mr.. E. B. Tyler,
of Nashville, who has Instructions
to put his system in the principal
cities of the South.
At present this system is not rep
resented in any Kentucky town,
but is in successful operation in
many of the larger cities of Ohio
and other states.
The Home Telephone Company
which bought the franchise indi'
rectly year ago, which was after
wards rejected, is in better posi-
ton than ever TO handle the fran
chise this year. This system has
revolutionized the telephone bust
ness of Louisville. 1t now has

FINEST RESIDENCE
In tIOpkinsviIIe Burns Up 10
Midnight Fire.
Miss Fannie Morton Suffers
Heavy LOss-Family Has
Narrow Escape.

The fine dwelling house OF Miss
Fannie Morton, on West Seventh
street, was totally destroyed by
fire at midnight Sunday night. The
FIRE was breaking out of the roof
when discovered and the FIRE de-
partment could not get to the scene
in time to save the building, one
of the costliest in the city. Being OF
wood and newly painted it burned
rapidly and was consumed IN an
incredibly short space OF time.
The residence was in a shady
lawn, surrounded by ten acres OF
meadow and was few years ago
rebuilt at cost of many thousand
dollars. 1t was furnished regard
less of expense, with hardwood
finish, plate glass mirrors and
every modern convenience. The
furniture was equally as costly, the
piano alone costing $1,000.
The contents of the house, valued
at several thousand dollars, were
also a total loss. In addition to the
fine piano, $500 in jewelry, 5000 in
money and the elegant furniture for
many rooms went up in smoke.
Nothing was gotten out, not even
wearing apparel.
Mr.. and Mrs. John H. Morton,
Miss Morton, her two sisters and
small nephew, were in the upper
rooms. All escaped in their night
clothes. Mrs. Morton and the child
were brought down on a ladder,
having a very close call.
The origin Of the FIRE is not
known. The total less is estimated
by Miss Morton at from Sl5,U00 tc
$4,000. The insurance is $4,000
of which $4,000 is on the house and
1000 on the furniture. Higgins &
Son have $4,000 and Long, Kelly
& Startling $4,000
The Planters Bank g. Trust Co
had mortgage of $4,000 on the
property, with insurance to that
amount payable to it.

JUDGE PHELPS.
Now Holding Circuit Court Vice
Judge Campbell.

The blunder made by Gov. Beck
ham in the appointment of A circuit
Judge for this county two weeks
ago has been rectifed as far as
possible by the appointment of
Judge John Phelps for the rest of
the term.
Judge Jas. Campbell, of Paducah,
who was first appointed, in addi-
tion to being an able Judge is a
very sensible man and it did not
take him long to see the break the
Governor had made on the advice
Of his unwise local advisers. 4
decided in view of pressing bust
ness at home, 10 vacate the bench
and open the way to correct the
mistake made in snubbing Judge
Bush and his friends. The local
lawyers. nearly all of whom sup
ported Judge Bush, learning of
Judge Campbell's purpose, circu-
lated a petition asking for the ape
pointment of Judge John Phelps,
which Judge Campbell himself
signed. This was sent to the Gov
ernor at Elkton and Judge Phelps
was appointed Friday and is now
on the bench. Judge Campbell re-
turned to Paducah Saturday. The
KENTUcKIAN gives the Governor
credit for doing a very sensible
thing in appointing Judge Phelps.
In addition to the reasons hereto
fore given Judge Phelps is we'll
qualified tor the place, has had con-
siderable experience and is popular
with the members of the bar. If he
had been appointed at first, the
Governor would not have subjected
himself to criticism.

relief, nor is there any disposition
to reduce charges.
Some of the sufferers on these
lines are preparing to appeal to the
Fiscal Court to see if some way to
control the country service cannot
be devised.
In the meantime the Cumberland
has not indicated its purpose to bid
on the franchise, though it shows
signs OF being more or less ratified.
1t has moved part of its bust
ness into it's new $4,000 building,
paid for by the people OF Hopkins
Vile with excess charges. 1t has
also announced through its official
organ that it is going to perform
wonders in the sweet bye-and-bye,
although it has had all these years
in which to show it's faith by its
works. All of which brings up the
! OLD poem 10 memory
.sWhen the devil was sick,
The devil a saint would be,
But when the devil got well
The devil a saint was he.
This may not be the exact Ian
guage OF this poem, but the reader
will. by straining his intellect d
little, catch the idea intended to be
conveyed.
The Cumberland company is feed
ing the people on promises and eX-
Ihibiting signs Of repentance until
after the 23rd. 1t had the same
sort Of a spasm Of virtue II months
ago, but we are still using back
number phones. It is true we have
exchanged the antiquated hello
boxes for long distance phones, but
they are still so far behind the times
that the Cumberland is promising
to take them out. If the Cumber-
land means business, let it buy a
franchise and put itself where its
service can be regulated by law
and not by agreements concocted
by it's own employees.
We had promises a year ago that
were never kept.
We have had new requirements
exacted of the people that had to
be dropped when the Kentucklan,
representing the people, called the
Cumberland down and showed that
it was getting too gay, even under
It's own agreement. "
Let the people of Hopkinsville
stand firm and demand their rights
as citizens and the Council is
pledged to give them relief. When
the franchise is sold, the peePte
will do the rest. The people will
stand by the purchaser who agrees
to save them $500 a year in cash
and give them an up-to-date ser
vice at the lower price.
