Bio * Signal System.

The SANTA Fe is now installing the
block signal system between New
ton and La Junta. This will entail
much additional operating cost but
will protect the trains of the company
to an extent that will amply repay
any expenditures in this line. This
system is in operation on all of the
elevated street railroads in Chicago
and there has never been an acci-
dent even in the worst kind of wealth
er due to the signal service. Inside
of ten days the stations at Amity,
Holly, Byron, Granada, Aeon, Morse
and Lamar, as well as those farther
west will be completed This will
then call for both night and day
man at each of these places. The
distance to be covered by this new
system is 360 miles.

From Other Quills
Want Railroad Regulation.

For years the business men and
others in Colorad" who do any CON
siderable business with railroads in
the way of shipping have advocated
some measures OF law that would
give them protection. But no rail
road laws are in force in this state.
The government, in making report
on laws and regulations in the sever
al states, says mo report can be
made OF Colorado. as that STATE has
no railroad laws" There are several

The majority Of the good fellows, ii

people are feeling the effects. and
that effect is for higher standard OF

ABOUT INSURANCE FUNDS.

Kentucky has already attracted
the attention of the insurance COM
6a1Hes OF the country by her some
what unusual position on insurance
questions.
The Insurance Press, published in
New York, takes issue with Cover
nor Beckham on his statements re-
garding insurance, particularly when
he said in his recent message:
81 would advise that you pass a
law along practicable lines requiring
a company doing business in the
state to invest a certain portion Of
its earnings in Kentucky 1t is a
constant drain upon our money to
send out every year large sum for
insurance and to have no part of it
reinvested in the state"
The Press then adds:
"If he will turn to the Investment
Directory of Insurance Companies he
will find, on pages II and rs, un-
der the heading Estate and Munich
pal Bonds,'' that more than $1,000
600 of insurance capital Is invested
in bonds issued by the counties of
Bourbon. Clarke, Fayette. Franklin,
Madison McCracken, Owen, Pendle-
ton, Spencer and Woodford, and in
bonds issued blythe municipalities
of Henderson, Lexington, Louisville,
Newport and Paducah.
millions upon millions of insur-
ance capital are Invested in the bonds
of the Louisville & Nashville rail
road and its various divisions. No
less than four pages of the directory
are given to the listing Of such
bonds. Street railways in Kentucky
cities have also found customers
among Insurance companies for their
bonds. All of this money is being
effectively employed, day by day,
for the development of Kentucky its
cities and the territory tributary
thereto.
Every loss paid by an insurance
company In the state, every commits
sion paid to an Insurance agent in
the state, every loan on real estate
by an insurance company, represents
insurance capital invested in Ken
tucky."

RUN DOWN CHILD
RUBY COBB HURT At FOURTH
AND NORTON STREETS.
Inhuman Drivers of Rig Didn't stop
To See Extent or Injuries.

Ruby. the S-year-old daughter of
Mrs. Alice Cobb, of Fourth and Nor
ton streets. narrowly escaped being
fatally injured this morning about
$3.50 O'Clock while crossing Norton
street. She was struck by a two
horse rig and the driver never stop
ped to see If the little girl was hurt.
The mother had sent the little girl
to Houser Brothers grocery. half a
square away to purchase groceries
and the little tot was returning home
She started across Norton street just
as a two-horse rig driven by a middle
aged man wearing a heavy gray
beard and accompanied, by a woman,
came down Fourth street The
driver turned suddenly into Norton
street and the little girl was struck
by the buggy. knocked down and run
over.
Her face was badly bruised and
skinned by the wheel passing over
her and the right hand was run over
and mashed, but fortunately no
bones were broken.
Several neighbors ran to the child
and picked her up. but found her
conscious. The driver is alleged to
have smiled when he saw the little
girl go down and never once stopped
TO see II she was hurt. The theory
that the man was drunk was ad-
vanced, but those who saw the acci-
dent say he did not appear to be
drunk and seemed simply hard
hearted and unconcerned about it.
A telephone message from the gro
Gerry notified the police of the affair
and are searching for the driver. 1t
Is alleged by those who saw the acct
dent that the man made no effort
TO avert it but that the child tried to
get out of the way and did succeed
partially, this probably saving her
from being trampled to death under
the hoofs of the horses.

We believe that If it is necessary
or advisable to annex territory ada
cent to a city, II should be, done with
out having to depend on the request
of property owners living outside the
city, to do 1t. If II is to the advant-
age of a city to add to its territory,
it is reasonable to presume that 1t
will also be TO the advantage of the
territory taken in. The people in
such territory, theoretically at least,
get the same benefits that citizens
derive from their residence inside
The corporate limits, and if they
were to get none, then none of us
is getting any. We do not wonder
at those people living outside the
city limits who enjoy gratis many
of the benefits and projections of
the city by virtue OF their proximi-
ty, objecting to being brought in
and made to contribute something,
but we do not believe that the legis-
lature should lay too much stress
on what they say. for they are selfish.
biased, interested parties as the
lawyer would say. For instance,
Lexington's population in now about
10000, and it would get fully 2O,-
600 new inhabitants If its limits were
extended. In other words, these 20,-
600 people are now getting practic-
ally all the benefits of bona fide cit
liens without paying any of the city
tax. and they don't want to have to
pay any of the city tax. That's why
they oppose annexation, and that's
why no attention should be paid to
their opposition to annexation.

The OwensbOro Inquirer thinks
that pistol carrying laws will do lit
tie good as long as a murderer is
accorded the respect and considera-
tion he receives in Kentucky. The
thing to do, it believes. is to make
homicide as disgraceful as theft or
some of the other petty crimes. 1t
declares that a change of heart on
part of the people is necessary to do
this, and adds: THE members of
the general assembly seem to be
aroused on the subject of killings in
this state and are seeking means to
stop them to some extent. There is
a bill to make the carrying of con-
cealed weapons felony, another to
forbid the entering of plea of self
defense when the slayer defends
himself with a concealed weapon,
prohibiting their sale altogether and
other things along similar channels.
There will be killings in Kentucky
until there is a public sentiment that
a murder is as disgraceful as a theft,
and the murderer as little entitled
TO sympathy and recognition as the
thief. At present it is not nearly
so great moral crime in Kentucky
TO commit murder as to steal a coat,
and there is no comparison to the
degrees of guilt in horse stealing
and homicide"
