LIQUOR PROBLEM.

In another column is an article
from the Model License League"
suggesting laws by which the sa-
loon business may be guarded and
conducted. These suggestions are
to be submitted to our Legislators
for their. consideration, and we
have published it that all may
know what is coming and how to
meet it. We would close all sa-
looms, but while they are here we
would regulate them by the en-
forcement of such laws as would
bring as little hurt to our people
as is possible.
If there is any good, anything
elevating or inspiring to come
from the saloon business or the
drink habit in any way we fail to
see it. Guard the business while
we have it but kill it the first OPP
portunity.

Governor Beckhsm should be
elected L.. S. Senator because the
party of which he is member has
named him as its candidate. The
platform upon which he ran was
accepted by Democrats when the
Governor was proven the choice
of his ,,arty and that platform is a
surviving issue today.
Should the party permit defeat
now it would not be loyal to its
word. Democrats will stand hrm.

FACTS & OBSERVATIONS
Christian Missionary Rally at
Winchester.
Events at CamptOn and Stanton,
Kentucky.

The writer left home on We'd
nesday, Nov. 20. The first stop
was at Winchester to attend a
Foreign Missionary Rally of the
Christian Church.
The sessions, morning and af-
ternoon. were in charge of Ste
phen Corey, of Cincinnati, Ohio.
He was accompanied by Fred
Hagin, who is now a missionary
at Toxic. Japan, and by j. f.
Archer, a young man, pastor of
Christian Church at Newton Falls,
O., who is under engagement to
90 to Jubbulpore, India, in the
fall of 1908.
Mr.. Hagin spoke very highly of

A CORRECTION.

In view of the misleading az
ticles that have appeared recently
in the daily press, regarding AL
legged opposition among the Demo
Gratis of Montgomery County to
Gov. Beckham for L. :. Senator,
we deem it proper to state the au-
thor of these stories. Mr.. W.
Hoffman Wood. the correspondent
here of the Courier Journal and
other dailies is a lifelong Repub
lican and of course is not in SYM
pathy with Gov. Beckhsm's candi-
dscy or the candidacy of any other
Democrat and the articles sent out
by him do not voice the sentiments
of the true Democracy of this
County. 1t is true that this Coun-
ty gave Senator McCreary large
majority in the State Primary. but
all loyal Democrats, who partici-
pated in the Primary, feel in
honor bound to recognize the nom
ination Of Gov. Beckham and it is
their desire that Representative
Clay and Senator Ecton support
Gov. Beckham for L. :. Senator.
We have been unable to communi-
cate with Senator Ecton. but know
he is too good a Democrat to bolt
the regular Democratic nominee,
and a. for Representative Clay he
was elected upon platform pledg-
ing his support to the winner in
the State Primary fer L. >. Sena-
tor. and in addition, participated
in said Primary and is doubly
bound. We are authorized to say
for him that he is now for Gov.
BecEhsm first. last and all the time
and will support him so long as
his name is before the General
Assembly. which is his plain duty.
The circulation Of a petition, ask
ne these gentlemen to bolt the
nominee, would therefore do no
good and would he an insult TO
their Democracy. If such a petit
tion should be circulated. il will
he by men who hope To accomplish
nothing except create further dis
cord in the Democratic ranks and
give vent to little personal
spleen.
We have taken the trouble to
personally interview many Demo
Gratis on this subject and find no
opposition to Gov. Beckham, ex-
cept among Republicans and that
class that pose as Democrats and
yet on November ,. after having
participated in the primary in
which Judge Iiager was nomins-
ted for Governor by over thirty
thousand majority, voted the
straight Republican ticket.

SOLUTION OF
LIQUOR PROBLEM
As Suggested by the Model LIZ
CenSe League.

10 the People OF the United OtateS
and to the Members Of the Leg
islatures of our Various States:
Acting upon the principle that
men regulate their conduct largely
in proportion to the rewards offered
and the penalties inflicted, we are
disposed, after the most careful
consideration of the matter, to lay
before our fellow citizens certain
ideas which should be applied to
the regulation of the retail liquor
business of this country, and which
we believe would remove the evils
connected with, this trade. and of
which society so justly complains.
The retail liquor dealer, like any
other man, gravitates instinctively,
unconsciously, and in obedience to
the immutable laws of trade, to-
ward that line of conduct which
seems to promise the most substan-
tial rewards, and like other men,
he is ofttimes persuaded, because
of the force of competition, or in
obedience to the law of self-pres-
ervation, to do things which he
condemns at heart, and which do
hurt to the opinions, and perchanee
to the rights of others.
This is not peculiar to the retail
liquor trade, because Investigations
have shown that many great for
tunes and many great franchises
have been acquired by questionable
methods, but the saloonkeeper's
shortcomings have been more ex-
tensively brought before public
notice than those of any other set
of men, and are more in evidence,
and to these shortcomings we pro-
pose combining our suggestions.
Why do so many saloonkeepers
violate law 4! Because they find it
profitable, or else because their
competitors practically force them
to violate law.
If one manufacturer secures re-
bates from railroads, his competi-
tors must do likewise or else retire
from business.
TO protect honesty, it must be
and dishonesty must be
punished.
We are all controlled by prom
Uses of rewards for right conduct
and of penalties for evil conduct,
and even the ministers would find
it hard to inculcate religion if
these factors were eliminated from
the doctrines of the churches.
We would, therefore, urge that
the following suggestions be en-
bodied in an act and passed by the
Legislature of your State for the
regulation of saloons:
MODEL LICENSE LAW.
First. All licenses now out
standing should be made perma-
nent unless cancelled by a vote of
the majority of the citizens of a
State, County, Precinct or Munic-
ipality.
These licenses should be trans
ferable from one to another. as any
other property is transferred, or
left as part of an estate as the
good will of any other business
man may be left. This form of
license is similar to that enjoyed
by all other lines of trade, and if
granted to the retail liquor dealers,
it will, in our opinion, relieve them
at once from active participation
in politics. Under the present
system the saloonkeeper is at the
mercy of the political boss, and of
the authorities elected or appoint
ed for the purpose of issuing IL
censes each year, and as long as

The tax suit of Wolfe County,
&C., Appellants, against T. NJ.
Beckett, ETC., Appellees, has just
been decided by the Court of Ap-
beals in favor of Appellants, re-
versing the Wolfe Circuit Court.
This is very important deci-
sion, the case being the first of its
kind ever passed upon by a Ken
lucky Court. Three issues Of law
were involved in the decision of
the case, viz:
lst. Are Oil and Gas Leases
such property as may be taxed
2nd. Should they be listed in
the names of the Lessees or Les
sors
3rd. Do such Leases constitute
real or personal property ?
The Court decides that such lea
SIS are personal property and as
such are taxable to the owner of
the lease. This means that the
operators for oil and gas in Wolfe
County will be compelled to pay
something like Isl, 100000 more in
taxes, annually, to the County
than they have heretofore paid.
The County was represented in
this case by its County Attorney,
G. B. Stamper and S. q. Sample.
who briefed the case for the Court
of Appeals, while the Appellees
were represented by Fulks & How

LEVY DOckSTADER.

Lew Dockstader's minstrel company
has always occupied such high
place in the estimation of the public
for presenting what is best. most ar
tistic and diverting in the field of min
strelsy that it is almost impossible
that the company and performance
will be bigger and better" than ever
this season. Dockstader makes the
estatement, however, and he always
makes good; that is one of the reasons
why he stands at the head of minstrel
sy and explains in a measure the fact
that his is the only minstrel COM
pany in this or any other country
that plays the first class theaters.
Apart from the great Dockstader him
self in a new monOlogue, the COM
pany will number 20 persons. This
will include that quaint comedian, Neil
O'Brien, and such fun makers as
John Foley. John King and John Da-
ly. Among the singers are Reese V.
ProSSer, Joe Natus, James Reaney,
Wallace Mersereau, w. H. Thompson
and Gus Reed. There will be a dancing
contingent of 80, an orchestra Of 25

THE SLOW RAILROADS.

Somebody has figured out that
freight moves more slowly on the rail-
roads of today than it did on the ca
mails of the last century. This is not
unlikely when one takes into account
tho weeks and months of delay on
sidings.
OF course this is temporary COIL
dition. due to the almost continuous
freight blockade. But what Is 'he
cause of those blockades? Are tney
not due to the efforts of the railroads.

goods. at too low a rate to furnish
funds to keep track and equipment up
to the demands of increasing traf1c!
You cannot have your cake and eat
it. too. You cannot get the best SER
vice at the lowest cost. When compe-
tition to sell pushes the prices OF any
commodity continually down, the COM
munity is bound to deteriorate in
QUALITY. This is as true of transpor-
tation as of any article of exchange,
SAYS the Minneapolis Tribune Amerl-
can railroads carry some KINDS OF
freight at the lowest rate OF lanu
TRANSFORMATION known in the world. II
would be strange if the transporta-
ton were of the highest quahty.
The very economies and profit-mak-
ing devices with which railroads nave
tried to meet the steady decline OF
freight rates have continually dimin-
ished speed of ordinary traffic. Com
mon freight is sidetracked and de-
Ilayed to allow fast freight and pas
senger cars to earn an extra rate
The principle of getting the maximum
of work out of every unit of rolling
stock saves money, but it makes con-
slant delay to fill cars and complete
trains.
The natural tendency of this policy
is to avoid excess of rolling stock, lest
careless employees should use more
than is needed. 1t is no wonder
that. when a season of unprecedented
traffic crowds tracks and terminals
and overworl1s rolling stock, some
freight should be carried at a lower
rate of speed than that of the canals
before railroads were built.
Undoubtedly it is carried more
cheaply for long distances, but it pays
for cheapness with reduced speed.
