IN KENTUCKY.

Three Interesting scenes OF law
enforcement in Kentucky are now on
the stage. In our little neighbor
city Of Richmond, Mayor Woods has
vetoed all grants Of saloon licenses
for the coming year. Richmond has
eleven saloons, which is eleven too
many for a town Of lis size, but the
mayor has not planned 10 make the
town "dry" merely by the use OF his
veto. He only intends 10 compel
the saloons make a little better at
tempt 10 keep the law. The laS
requires that the saloons shall pub
lish their petitions for licenses in
some Richmond newspaper for at
least FIVE days previous 10 the meet.
Ing 81 the council which Is 10 con
slider them, aud 10 file their applica.
,ions with the city clerk at least three
days before such consideration, and
when licenses are granted, 10 pay a
$1,000 license fee for one year, in
advance. The two FIRST named pro
visions OF the Law have been ignored,
aud the council has voted ~ allow
the saloons 10 pay their license fees
In inslallments Of 500 per month,
instead OF all down at once. We
congratulate the city ON having a
mayor who has respect for she laws
he has sworn 10 enforce, and hope
that the council aud citizens will
stand by him. Saloons never keep
the laws, and seldom make a pre-.
tense Of keeping them. However IL
is splendid practice for any executive
officer 10 Try the laws on them oc-
casionally.
In Louisville, two apparently con-
trary movements for law enforcement
are taking place, for both of which
We have sympathy. The mayor is
keeping the lid on" the saloons ON
Sunday No tightly that the sulphur.
Gus breath Of their keepers can hard
ly escape from their DEVILS broth
kettles, and we almost fear an explo.
sion. This movement was started by
the governor OF the state and is car
ried on ia earnest by the mayor.
But magistrate OF the city, Frank
j. Hoffman, is not content with en-
forcing the law against saloon keepers
but 10 fining druggists and Others
who sell things ON Sunday which are
not necessary. His action seems TO
be generally regarded az an attempt
10 make the law odious. This judg-
ment may or may not be correct, but
we are glad 10 see him enforcing the
law, nevertheless. II is demoralizing
TO citizens, and especially 10 executive
officers, 10 have laws ON the statute
book and make no attempt 10 enforce
them. II the law is nov too general
in iis scope, let il be enforced until
the people realize what il ought 10
be, and then let IL be changed. II is
rumored that a movement Is already
on foot in Frankfort 10 change the
provisions Of the Sunday closing law
10 meet the needs OF the case. We
would like 10 whisper something
very low, howeyer,-It would be a
good thing for druggists also, II they
could 60 10 church, and we do not
think the death rate would increase
or she jsils be- fuller, II soda water,
cigars and stamps we're not sold on
Sunday.

RATE HEARING IN MISSOURI
oil Dealer says Freight Tariffs Are
Too High and Discriminate
Against Independents.

KANSAS CITY, June 1s.-E. NJ. Wilhoit'
an independent oil dealer OF Springfield
Mo, was the principal witness today be-
fore the Missouri Board of Railroad and
Warehouse Commissioners, which is hold
ing a rate inquiry in this city. Mr.. VIII
holt is one OF a number of shippers who
have filed complaints with the commits
sioners, asserting that freight rates arc
higher in Missouri than in neighboring
states and a reduction is asked for.
Mr.. Wilhoit testified that, not only was
the whole table OF rates for all shipments
in Missouri too high, but that the
Standard Oil company is favored to the
injury OF the independent shipper.
Under the present rate" said the wit
ness, ut costs me l6 cents per hundred
weight to ship oil from ST. Louis TO Spring
field, Mo-. and the rate to the Standard
from Chicago to ST. Louis, a much creator
distance. is only cents. I cannot get
oil In Chicago because there is no indie
pendent refinery there, so that ], along
with independent jobbers, must ship from
less favored points. making the oil laid
down from Springfield cost us much more
to transport than It costs the Standard"
Mr.. Wilhoit's testimony was brought out
by c. d. Chamberlain. secretary OF the
National Petroleum association Of Cleve-
land, who questioned him in the interest
OF the complainants.

LONDON, June 1s.-Chicago meat again
formed the main subject OF questions in
the House of Commons today. Mr.. Hicks
Beach. conservative, son OF the former
chancellor of the exchequer, asked War
Secretary Haldane what quantity OF Chi
cago canned meat was supplied TO the
troops in South Africa during the late war
and what proportion of enteric deaths
ought more properly to have been described
as due to ptomaine poisoning. The secre-
tary replied that rather more than half
the canned meat supplied to the British
troops in South Africa during the late war
came from the United States. He could not
say how much of this came from Chicago.
The War Office knew nothing of any cases
Of enteric fever which could be classed as
ptomaine poisoning.
Mr. Lee QiberaD wanted to know whether,
in view of the fact that the committee on
agriculture of the United States house OF
representatives had omitted in drawing up
the meat inspection bill to stipulate that the
packers stamp the date OF manufacture
OF each article Of food sold, the War Office
would not issue an army order requiring
every can OF meat supplied to the army 70

faeture. The secretary reassured Mr.. Lee,
