WISE LEGISLATION.

Il is a good thing for city TO have
all kinds Of businesses and
professions represented in the
legislative department, not thai
those lines represented may
have protection. for the sery.
ing of special interests in that
branch of government is one of oui
menacing evils; but in order that O
four-sided view of every question
may be had, and the public's true in
terests conserved. This observation Is
but an appreciation of the work OF
DR.. p. II. Stewart in the board OF
aldermen. Since last January he has
introduced two important measures,
the prescription on the lockjaw-pro-
ducing toy pistol, and the require
ment Of a test for tuberculosis in
dairies doing business in Paducah.
Neither of these measures has re-
oeived first passage In either board,
and the success or failure of his eff
forts TO enact them will complete the
test of DR.. Stewards efficiency as a
legislator, and the character Of pub
lie sentiment in Paducah.
We predict for Alderman Stewart
considerable difficulty in carrying out
DR.. Stewards most humanitarian de-
signs. Not the least exasperating con-
ditions confronting a legislator, who
attempts radical legislation of
unquestioned benefit to his constitu-
ents generally. is the dlsinterested
attitude Of the benefciaries, and the
active agency Of the persons or
things put to trouble or expense.
Fathers and mothers, whose chill
dren's lives are jeopardized by the
kind Of milk they drink, and by the
use of toy pistols, will read of AL
derman Stewards action with a COM
placent feeling that all is over and
the mere word Of an alderman is
sufficient to remedy whatever evil ex-
lists II public sentiment, not only APP
proved, but backed up the alder
mems actions In all remedial legis-
lation, there would be no trouble in
enacting and enforcing them, and
there would be more aldermen en-
gagged in good works.
There will be presented the old ar
gument. that we have too many
laws. already; what we need most is
the enforcement of those we have.
That is an untrue statement, be-
cause It does not state the whole
truth. We have not too many good
and. beneficial laws. In the very ma
ture Of things, We couldn't have. We
have too many silly laws. but the en-
forcement Of none of them would Sc
cure for us pure milk and safety
from the toy pistol evil.
We doubt If the tuberculosis test
measure will meet with much open
opposition from the dairymen. In the
FIRST place. 1t would be inadvisable
for a dairymsn to openly oppose a
test to ascertain whether or not he
was delivering pure milk to his GUS
toners. In the second place, we are
The Paducah evening sun. [volume] (Paducah, Ky.) 1906-1929, 1907-05-10

sure the action Of the general coun-
ell will be tempered with good judg-
ment and regard for the dairymen as
well as their customers, and the pro-
vision will make the burden as light
as possible. The dairymen should be
heard in the matter and no doubt
will be. We want no fad legislation,
only the conservation of public
health: and due regard for the prac-
teal operation of a modern dairy. II
cannot be kept in the same condition
as private ward in a hospital, be-
cause the COW is factor in the bus
mess and must be considered.
When the dairymans point of
view is reached, the legal aspect OF
me situation should be studied. and
law enacted that will stand the
constitutional test We should pre-
fer one that the dairymen themselves
might reasonably approve. The num-
Der of much heralded reform laws
found to be defective, creates the
suspicion that they are purposely
drafted so.
As rule the milk sold in Padu-
cab, We believe, is comparatively
pure. and the diaries are kept in
good condition, as indicated by the
milk inspectors report. It may prove
expensive for some of the dairymen,
if their cows are found with tuber-
culosis and are condemned. But it is
of less consequence for a jairyman
to lose his COW, because she has tu-
berculosis; than for a mother to
lose her infant because the dairy
mans cow has tuberculosis.

Their first new move. after my L,-

counts from the National Industrial

powerful institution had thus branded
me was slyly given to the financial
reporters of the newspapers. Far and

was expected to believe that this was
one more and drastic measure in
the Campaign of the honorable men

this paragraph-the first notice had

The Homemaker.

1t must be taken into consideration
that every successful homemaker is
necessarily a housekeeper-one who
keeps the house in the hollow of her
hand, so to speak. One whose eye
guards every detail of expenditure;
one whose heart and mind are cen
tered In the identifying, guidance and
maintenance of her stronghold. 1t
would be foolish to insist that every
housekeeper possess the rare and
beautiful gift of creating and evolving
home. says Margaret Anglin in Pic.
torial Review. The housekeeper works
for her wages, oftentimes grudgingly;
the homemaker takes up her daily
tasks with inspiration. Her labor is
performed with love; and as I believe
some poet has remarked, even the
sweeping of a room may become a
beautiful action.

CHAPTER XVIII.
A HOUSEWARMING.

Joe's daughter, staying on and on
at Dawn Hill, was chief lieutenant, If
not principal, in my conspiracy to drift
Anita day by day further and further
into the routine of the new life Yet
neither of us had shown by word or
look that a thorough understanding
existed between us. My part was to
be unobstrusive, friendly, neither in
different nor eager, and l held to it
by taking care never to be left alone
with Anita; Alva's part was to be her.
self-simple and natural and sensible,
full of life and laughter, mocking at
those moods that betray us into the
absurdity of taking ourselves too Sc
riouSly.
l was getting ready new house in
town as surprise to Anita, and took
Alya into my plot. Il wish Anita's
part of the house to be exactly to her
liking" said 1. Cant you set her
to dreaming aloud what kind of place
she would like to live in. what she
would like to open her eyes on in
the morning, what surroundings she'd
like to dress in and read In, and all
that?"
Alva had no difficulty in carrying
out the suggestions. And by harass-
ing Westlake necessarily, / succeeded
in realizing her report of Anita's
dream to the exact shade Of the
draperies and the silk that covered the
walls. BY pushing the work. got the
house done just as Alva wa, warning
me that she could not remain longer
at Dawn Hill, but must go home and
get ready for her wedding. When I
went down to arrange with her the
last details of the surprise, who should
meet me at the station but Anita her
self? l took one glance at her serious
face and. much disquieted, seated my
self beside her in the little trap. In
stead of following the usual route to
the house she turned her horse into
the bayshore road.
