Capt. Uhler has been asked for an
opinion on the complaints made
about the overcrowding Of show or
theatrical boats that navigate the RI
yer and give exhibitions in the small
er towns. The correspondents com
planned that these boats frequently
admitted as many as 1900 or 1000
people, and as there is only one exit,
an accident would mean great loss OF
life. Capt. Uhler said that his de-
partment had jurisdiction over yes
sells in course of navigation only. As
the show boats do not exhibit while
they are navigating, but when they
are tied up. he did not see that his
department could do anything--Cou-

UNCLE SAM
May Try to Make Important Changes
i'm Marriage Laws.

Washington, d. c., Jan. 12.-No
more May and December weddings.
No more marrying foreign titles.
No more elopements.
Uncle Sam is now asked to con-
slider an amendment to the constitu-
ton of the United States that will
provide for uniform marriages and
divorces.
John Gibson Hale, an attorney OF
Chicago and son of a former member
of congress from Missouri. is the au-
thor of the proposed amendment ant
he has requested the house judiciary
committee to grant him a hearing.
Chairman jenkins and several
members of the committee have sig
nified their Willingness to listen to
Mr.. Hale's ideas.
The amendment offered by the
Chicagoan is in substance that con-
gress shall provide for a system OF
registration with the census depart
ment.

That SCOT had clogged the fiue.
But howell. he knew better.

And then there came "a pun.
He tried all air devices.
But still the furnace puffed;
Then sadly he concluded
The fiucs and pipes were stuffed.
He drenched the fire with water.
While fearful he would choke.
And when II was cxtlnguished
Tho house was filled with smoke.
The pipes he disconnected
And worked at them till sore.
And soon the SCOT by bushels
Was lying on the floor.
Then from the flue came tumbling
More SCOT at rapid pace.
And II was nearly midnight
Ere he had the pipes in place.
Once more he jammed In paper
And splinters, wood and coal:
Again fire he started
And saw flames upward roll.
He limped up from the cellar.
AS black as blackest crow.
But he had fixed the furnace.

Horatio G. Herrick of Lawrence,
Mass. for many years sheriff of Essex
county. took a lively interest in the
schools of his home town. Shortly aft
er Garfeld's death Mr.. He-rick visited
one OF the schools and made an ad-
dress upon the life Of the statesman.
He asked:
"Now. can any one tell me what a
statesman isT'
A little hand went up, and a little
girl replied
"a statesman is a man who makes
speeches"
Hardly that" answered Mr.. Her
rick, who loved 10 tell this story. For
instance. l sometimes make speeches.
and yet l am not n statesman"
The little hand again went up, and
the answer came triumphantly:

gestion, 1t would have been no fault
of any member of the board of SUI
pervisors, as the latter cannot pre-
vent a person stopping him or them
on the street and making any sug-
gestion he may see fit. We are glad
TO find that the supervisors deny the
report so promptly. 1t is good
sign. We believe the present super
visors want to do their duty, but
know that some in past years have
not always done their duty, as the
tax books show. When property in
the business section of Paducah,
worth from $4,000 to $4,000 and
$40, 200 is found assessed for taxa
tion at $1,000. $4,000 and such
amounts, 1t is plain to anyone that
someone has not done his duty. Af-
ter the work of the present board is
finished we believe that It will be
clear that it has done its duty.

The legislature, among the numer-
Gus other bills introduced, is to con-
slider one making severe penalty
for carrying concealed weapons. This
would be a good law--if it were only
enforced. ANY man with money or
friends who is fined and sentenced
to jail for carrying a pistol, can es-
cape. Some of them are fined, take
an appeal and nothing is ever heard
of the case again. Very few laws
either existing or contemplated. are
going to do much good il they are
not enforced.

BE KENTuCKIANs FIRST.

Be Kentuckians first is the key
note of Gov. Bradley's touching and
telling address before the senate OF
Kentucky. 81 think it is great
privilege, and a few others agree
with me, to be a republican" says
the Louisville Herald. "Others disa-
gree with me, and think it a great
privilege to be democrat. But we
can all agree that it is far greater
privilege to be a Kentuekian." The
greatest privilege on earth is to be
o kentuckian, because the true Ken
tuckian is the very best kind of
American, and the very best Ameri-
can the best man on earth. The
mere fact of being born in Kentucky
does not make the true Kentuckian

G. Beck, Bishop Flaget, Bishop Dud-
ley and many another great Kentuck-
ian first saw sunlight in some other
state or country, but true Kentuck-
'ians were they in that terms bess
acceptance.
The only true Kentuckianism is
that expressed by deeds. Faith
without works is dead. There is, in
fact, no faith without works. The
works demanded of the citizen of
Kentucky are the ancestral home viz
tues, developed by freedoms exer-
else since 1776 The home virtues
are loyalty to fireside and kinfolk,
tenderness and love, temperance and
self-restraint, courage and helpful
ness, truth and manfulness, cheerful
ness and content. The American civ
ic virtues may be all summed up in
one word-give every man the
square deal.
The stunning of ballot boxes anG
the stealing OF elections are odious
.exotics planted on this soil of liberty
and Righteousness by desperate men;

places. Honest Kentuckianism calls
for their deracination and extermina-

not endure il these homes are to be
governed by laws made or by laws
administered through men unfit for

shall prove ourselves by re-establish-

Ordinance Creating an Agency
to Be introduced Soon.
Mayor Yciscr Today Notified Con.
tractors About Some Bad
Pavemcnts.
BUTCHERS WANT PROTECTION.

An ordinance will in all probabili-
ty be brought in by the council at
an early meeting creating a purch-
asing agency department for the city.
1t will be the duty of this depart
ment to buy supplies that the differ
ent departments of the municipal
ty needs at all times, and this will
be done by advertising for bids in
the official newspaper of the city.
Heretofore often il anything has
been needed in any of the Offices Of
departments, clerk would be sent
out to buy it, and no price was asked.
Sometimes the price was all right,
and sometimes, as one can surmise,
il has been exorbitant.
The agency will be composed of
the mayor and the presidents of the
two boards, and acquisitions for any
supplies will have to be made to the
agency and come with the endorse
ment of the head of the department
wanting the supplies.
Things have been run too loose
ly," said a member of one of the
boards today. "In one department, the
other day. found that when they
bought, for instance, any soap, it
was purchased by the bar instead OF
by the case, as one would do in his
private business where he used as
much as this department does. This
is cited merely as an illustration, 1t
is the case in nearly all matters"
"Now we intend that all supplies
shall be bought in wholesale lots,
thus giving the city big saving in
this particular, and giving every
dealer an opportunity to bid to fur
nish such supplies.
1--WE do not want to create any
new offices, as has been suggested
by the creation of the Office of in
spector of weights and measures. We
have too many officials now, so we
think that the mayor and the two
presidents of the boards will serve
as this agency, for a time any way,
thus saving any expense from that
quarter. We believe It Imperative
that such an agency be established
and the matter will come up at an
early date"

The public in general and life savers
in particular should be warned of the
danger and folly of rolling on a bar
rel the bodies of apparently drowned
persons. This process has never vet
helped to resuscitate, though it has
undoubtedly killed many, half drown
ed persons. The idea. that it pumps
OUT the water is entirely falla-
cious. In the first place, no water
enters the lungs Of drowned man
till he has been absolutely dead for
many hours. In the second, the re-
moval Of water from the stomach is
quite secondary consideration COM
pared with the Importance of re-estab-
fishing the action of heart and lungs,
and rolling n body on n barrel is about
the surest way Of preventing both
heart and lungs from resuming their
normal functions. Artificial expansion
and contraction Of the chest by alter
nately stretching the arms above the
head and COMPRISING the chest with
them is the correct first aid to the APP

The Benefit of Exercise.

Exercise does for the body what the
mountain side does for the stream of
water. When The water runs down the
mountain side it is babbling brook,
leaping out into The air now and then.
throwing itself into spray. exposing it
self to the air and sunshine and the
waters are crystal pure. In the valley
or on a level plain the waters may form
stagnant pools and get covered over
with slime of all sorts and Inhabited
by all kinds of filthy creeping things.
Some people let themselves get into the
condition of that stagnant pool and
then wonder why the frogs croak in
their brains and why the birds do not
sing instead. When person gets into
the condition where the body is like a
stagnant pool radical change must be
made in his life. He must begin by
getting vitaliZed, new blood into all his
cells and tissues.-Good Health.
