Frankfort, January 10.
The big political fights before
the Kentucky Legislature were
quickly and decisively over. The
General Assembly seems already
started toward a session of sense
and success, indicated by the
seriously intended measures else
where referred to, and by the
unheard-of record made the first
week. By The latter is meant
the disposftion, in two days.
time, of political obstacles that
would have required, IN the
s'good old days(?)" weeks of
wrangling, perhaps an extra ses-
sion, and attendant evils galore.
The writer has watched a round
dozen legislatures nominstes or
try to nominate a United States
Senator. He has seen as many
State Conventions and many
more district gatherings fight
over the selection of State and
district nominees; he has seen
the contest over pageship in a
Constitutional Convention decide
the next gubernatovisl conysn-
tion. and largely shape the policy
of the succeeding State delega
stions TO National convention.
But never saw he the same
amount of politics disposed of in
a tenth Of the time, nor with less
dlscredit to those most directly
concerned. We believe that in
Kentucky politics '+those good old
times" will soon be misnomer.
The ''machine, conceding there
is one, is about the best regulat-
ed and most intelligently operat-
ed for its size and strength Ken
lucky politics has ever known ;
those who fought Ut are, with
rare exceptions, gallant fighters,
who know when they have
enough, how to get from under
the bottom, shake hands and be-
gin training for the fnture.
The prospects of a fight, two
years hence, with Blackburn for
Governor and McCreary for SEN
ator, with Hager and Beckham
to beat, is not the probability
that the daily newspaper dis
patches would indicate. 1T you
want to indulge in real politi-
cal prediction, put it down "Mc-
Chord VS.. Hager-Haldeman VS..
Beckham," and the fight al
ready on.
OF all the recent winners, not
excepting Judge Paynter. the
two men whose middle name
should be Luck are Eli Brown
and Harry McCutcheon. Born,
both of them with money, called
"big money" in towns the size
of Bardstown and Russellville.
They never wanted anything at
home, and came away only to re-
ceiye what most men consider
enough to make a life of happi-
ness. After getting a good Office
apiece without asking, they sue
ceeded in marrying two Of the
.prettiest girls that even Frank
fort can boast, and again are
given lucrative, easy offices, that
will not take them far from

The committees announced by
the presiding officers at the re-
convening Monday, are about as
satisfactory as the very thankless
task usually is. Speaker Law
renee will probably be accused
of thinking first and last of his
own friends, political aud per-
sonal. But most of us will admit
that is not bad rule of action in
politics or other walks of life.

mention of il of news value.
1t should be said, however, that
so far there is not such an indis-
criminate mass of equally indis
c1minate bills, and that among
the measures proposed, are a
number of vastly important i'm
provements in the public service

have caught the spirit of the
Capital City's present boom, and

what they called a staid old town.
One evidence that it is becoming
a wideawake city is the fact that
they kill negro, or somebody
else, nearly every Saturday or

too numerous in number and too
cheap in character. Frankfort
needs high license awfully.

When the Stove Was Elevated.

During the college days of ex-Mayor
Bessom of Lynn he had two of the
professors of the college as guests at
a hunting camp in the Maine woods.
When they entered the camp their at
tention was attracted TO the unusual
position of the stove, which was set
on posts about four feet high.
One Of the professors began to COM
ment upon the knowledge woodsmen
gain by observation Now" said he,
"this man has discovered that the heat
radating from the stove strikes the
roof and the circulation is so quick
ened that the camp is warmed in
much less time than would be re-
quired if the stove was in its regular
place on the floor
The other profa sor was of the opin-
ion that the stove was elevated to be
above the window. in order that cool
and pure air could be had at night
Mr. Bessom, being more practical
contended that the stove was elevated
in order that a good supply of green
wood could be placed beneath it to
dry.
After considerable argument each
man placed a dollar bill upon the
table. and it was agreed that the one
whose opinion was nearest the guides

take the pool The guide was called
and asked why the stove was placed
in such an unusual position.
