to prohibit capital punishment from
being inflicted upon women or mi
nors. II is argued that as they have
no part In making the laws and other
restrictions are placed upon them
they should not have to suffer the ex-
treme penalty.
The bill will probably be amended
to exclude from capital punishment
women and boys under seventeen
or eighteen years OF age.
Various amendments are propos-
ed to the anti-cigarette bill and the
Sunday baseball bill The Sunday
baseball bill makes IL mlsdemcan-
OF to play or engage In playing base
ball or football on Sunday. One
member will propose an amendment
to the bill exempting from the OPP
Grafton of the law persons who at
tend morning services in some
church. OF course the amendment
will be made merely to make the bill
gdiculous. An amendment will be

The municipal apportionment ordi-
nance apparently does not please
some, but it is not intended to please
everybody. II is intended to benefit
the general public-the taxpayers.
1t is hoped at least to provide the
people with what they pay for. In
past years hundreds of thousands of
dollars have been spent annually in
Paducah, and aside from the inn
provements made out of the bond
issue. what has Paducah to show for
it? If at the end of this year the
city cannot with the appropriation
made last night, show as many bene-
fits and improvements as were shown
by administrations of past years, we
shall miss our guess. Ii may be
that the appropriations will offer
little opportunity for improvements,
and that there will be few improve
ments to show at the end of the
year, but this will be nothing new.
There never are.

The fight for Lawyer Patrlck's life
is an interesting one. and it seems
that perseverance is about to result
in his being given another chance,
as the district attorney has signified
his willingness to concur in the re-

great many people who do not APP
prove of convicting any man on such

Patrick was convicted. 1t was never

VITALITY OF CITIES.

A little less than two years ago,
on February rs, 1904, the heart of
Baltimore was swept by great con-
flagration, says the Globe-Democrat.
The immediate loss was at least s70,-
100000, and the indirect loss and
Inconvenience were an immense
item. Seventy-five blocks, contain
ing more than 2,500 buildings, in
cluding most Of the main business
structures, were devastated. The
city was hit hard, but maintained dts
courage, and, in a spirit of far-seeing
intelligence, proceeded with the work
of restoration on a revised plan.
Baltimore has largely risen from its
ashes, but is improved to such an ex
tent in many respects that it may be
said to have been transformed. II
has wider and better streets, the
best modern sewerage and other ad-
vantages that could not be obtained
in its former business center. Not
less than s1OO,OO0,0O0 has been
spent in rebuilding Baltimore.
Galveston, as a result of single
tempest, sustained greater, shock
and comparative loss, but has been
reconstructed and provided with
safeguards against another catas-
trophe by submergence. A city's
chief material possession is its busi-
ness and business facilities, and it
has been proved that cities can be
only temporarily halted by fire or
food. But progress by calamity Is
not the sort to be courted. Balti-
more and Chicago were not burned
out of existence. but, would not have
burned at all If their buildings had
been rightly constructed and inspect
ed. The fire loss in the United
States is approaching an average of
s200,00O,OOO year. an amount esti-
mated to be sufficient TO build the
Panama canal Half that sum would
give deep channels in the Mississippi
and its main tributaries. This vast
waste ought to get greater attention.

The question of amending the sec
ond-class charter so as to change the
manner of appointing a public print
er is provoking some little discussion
in second-class cities and there seems
to be a diversity of opinion on the
subject. If the legislature desires
to so change the charter as to insure
the taxpayers full returns for the
money spent. it will make little diff
ference who does the appointing. The
Lexington Herald thinks the law
should remain as it is. The city at
torney in second-class cities, for some
inscrutable reason, now has the APP
pointive power. Some think the priv
ilege should be invested in the may
or. while others think the general
council should elect. II makes no
particular difference who turns the
trick, the people will never get what
they pay for until the charter is al
tered and the requirement inserted
that the public printing must be done

ten year bonds are issued for the pay

bonds, and usually, disposes of them

crying need is better streets, side

GETS DOWN TO WORK
Many Bills Introduced of Bene-

SOME LATE CAPITOL GOSSIP.

Frankfort, Jan. 16.-Bills look
ing to the betterment of the condi-
tions of women will receive a large
share of the consideration of the
present Legislature. Many bills re-
lating to amendments of the divorce
law have been introduced, and sever
al bills have been introduced rails
ing the "age of consent from twelve
to sixteen years" Members of the
legislature who have expressed their
opinion are unanimous in favor of
raising the age of consent to at least
sixteen years, and many members
are in favor of raising it to eighteen
years.
Mr.. Slattery introduced in the
house today two important bills in
this direction. One is to make indie
cent exposure of person a felony, and
the other is 60 make married men
amenable to the seduction law.
The only hill introduced so far
which is not a step forward for wo-
mankind is one offered last Friday
fixing the punishment for criminal
assault on woman from ten to
twenty years. Such bill can hard
ly receive five votes in both houses
The punishment now provided is
death or life Imprisonment.
There has been some suggestion
during this session To abolish capi-
tai punishment. but the general sen
timent among the members of the
legislature is that every criminal
ought to know his crime may be
punished with death whether that
sentence be ultimately inflicted on
him or not. In fact, from the num-
ber of bills introduced making IL a
capital crime for a burglar or rob
ber to assault his victim. it appears
that the general sentiment of the
legislature is to make the worse
crime punishable by more rigorous
sentences.
1t looks as IL the legislature is
taking up the divorce question in
earnest. Mr.. White has introduced
hill prohibiting the divorced hus-
band or wife at fault from marrying
within a period OF five years. and
prohibiting the other from remarry
ing within a period OF one year.
Many members believe this prohlbl-
tion is a little too strict, but Mr..
Slattery has introduced a bill pro-
yiding that a divorce from bed and
board must first be granted. and that
an absolute divorce can not be grant
ed within less than ten months la
ter. Such a restriction, he argues.
would tend to prevent married per-
sons from becoming engaged before
they secure a divorce, and would
lessen the divorce evil.
On the other hand, there are now
several restrictions placed upon dl-
vorce which II is believed should be
removed. Under the present law the
husband and wife may not testify
against each other in actions for di-

MIR. Il. Il. Robinson, of Boston, Here
to Outline improvements for
the Street Car Service.
NEW ISLAND CREEK BRIDGE

Mr.. Z. r. Robinson, of Boston
one of the principal officers in the
Stone 4 Webster company, controll-
ers of the local street car system
electric lighting plant and gas plant,
is in the city TO look over the city
and outline improvements to be
made this spring and summer.
Mr.. II. F. Grant, manager of the
electric lighting plant at Seattle,
Wash. one of the biggest plants of
the Stone & Webster Co, is also
here, being en- route to Seattle from
Boston. and is looking over the prop
critics of the company, too.
There is a great deal in the way
of improvements to be made as soon
as the weather is permissible and
Mr.. Robinson is here to outline
plans. 1t is stated that new cars
will be sent here in the spring and
improvements to the rolling stock
made until the system is so perfect
1t cannot be further improved.
The company desires to enter Me-
chanicsburg and the council cannot
act too soon to suit the Traction
company. Manager John S. Bleeck-
er. of the Traction company. stated
this morning that he presumed the
council would appoint a committee
to see him and negotiate to learn the
amount the company would go in
for to help the city build a bridge
over Island Creek.
City Engineer Washington stated
last night that he had even gone so
far as to invite and get expert bridge
engineers here to look at Island
Creek bridge and they all stated II
was weak and dangerous. The
street car people are willing to go in
for their share on the bridge and
Mr.. Bleecker will be pleased to re-
ceive a visit from the councilmanio
committee today. The sooner it is
possible to enter Mechanicsburg the
better for the street car company
and the public. They have fully in
vestigated and think this suburb a
good source of revenue. and are con-
vinced that there is a growing de-
mand for the service.
The Traction company will also
consider the advisabIlity of making
a loop from the Rowlandtown line
into Fountain avenue TO open that
portion of the city and to reach the
ground recently purchased for a race
track site. This property is situated
on the Hinkleville road adjoining
the road leading from the Hinkle-
VILE road over to Rowlandtown, and
is a splendid site for a race course.

the course is now being organized
and this matter will come before the
street car company in a few days. IL
