The senatorial dead lock still con-
tinues, with no end yet in sight and
every day more and more emphasizes
the need Of the privilege to elect the
United States Senator by direct
vote Of the people.
Charges and counter charges are
made daily by the friends of both
Bradley and Beckham, charging the
other with insincerity on the local
option proposition. The Temper
ance League came down on them
both like an avalanche aud demand
ed them to speak out on the county
unit bill. Mr.. Bradley pledged the
support of himself aud his friends to
the passage of the bill when it came
up on its merits. Mr.. Beckham re
nowed mis- allegiance to the temper
ance cause, and promised to step
down and out OF the race il the
Republicans would pass the county
unit bill, and give chance to vote
on State wide prohibition next fall.
But with all these pledges from the
veteran leaders, the whiskey people
have by the skill OF their friends in
the House, kept this bill from com
ing to a vote until the session is al
most gone. The whiskey lobby is
given up to be the strongest that
ever invaded Frankfort.
Since the State Farmers Institute
recently assembled here opposed the
repeal Of the dog law, its friends
seem to be confident that they will
keep it on the statutes, but feel
that if it comes to vote that it will
be repealed.
The friends of Hon. Ollie James
here were quick to disclaim any de-
sire on his part to allow his name to
be used to defeat the nominee for
United States Senator, Mr.. Beck
ham. Senator Maxwell Is especial
ly out-spoken against what he thinks
might be construed to the detriment
of his fellow townsman. He will
probably speak his mind on the
floor OF the House next Joint session.
He will advise the friends of Ollie
James to vote foi Mr.. Beckham a.
long as his name is before the eau
Gus. Pressly is making a good sen
ator, aud better Democrat never
landed in Frankfort.
ln the discussion Of the Educa.
tional bill Representative Porter, Of
Webster, made a gallant defense of
Kentucky, and made a plea for the
common schools that will be long
remembered. He is an old hand at
the legislative business, and there
fore is making one of the best mem.
bers We have. The people of Web
,tcr made no mistake In sending
Forrest Porter Co the House.

Wilson, of Union, Is wheel horse
IN the House. Tie will one day 20
TO Congress from the Second district.
Temperance, and the laboring man
never had a more fearless champion.
The tobacco bill comes up next
week, and promises lively time.
1t seems that the different sections
of the tobacco growers cannot agree,
aud would not be surprised to see
the bill defeated outright, or so
emasculated that it would not be any
relief TO the farmer.
Sincerely yours,

MUTILATING STREET TREES.
Park Experts View on Protecting
Them From Electric Light Wires.

G. NJ. Loring. for long years known
as the father Of the Minneapolis park
system, in writing Of the fight for the
protection and preservation Of street
trees in Minneapolis describes a plan
that can be adopted by any town. He
says
''There is now very good under
standing between the public service
companies and the park board. For Il
long time there was great deal of
friction owing to the acts Of vandalism
of companies. In this as in other cities
whenever the trees interfered with
their wires they would mutilate them
in the most outrageous manner. even
going so far us to cut down trees that
We're ten and fifteen inches in diane
ter. But all of this is changed. The
park board had every man arrested
who trimmed tree without permit.
and the court inflicted good big fine
and promise of Imprisonment If the
culprit came Il second time.
"Now If tree interferes with the
wire permit is applied for. which is
referred to the committee on street
trees, and If the tree can be trimmed
without injuring it the permit is grant
ed; If not, the company takes some 9th
err means of overcoming the difficulty.
Usually this is by stringlng a cable
instead of number of single wires.
Our judges have learned that there is
more value in a shade tree than what
1t would be worth for cord wood. so
now after battle of several years
duration our trees are pretty well pro
tected. A park policeman who was
detailed to look after them arrested
over 900 for hitching horses to frees
before the drivers began to realize that
the ordinance would be enforced and
that Il second ofense meant Il large
fine Our city is enc of the best plant
ed in the country, and we are all proud
of our beautiful forest lined streets"

LIGHT UNDER A BUSHEL.
How Some Towns Neglect to Use Their
Own Opportunities.

Many towns commit the unpardon-
able sin of hiding their light under a
bushel This means that they neglect
to take advantage Of their opportuni-
ties for Improvement and advancement.
There Is no town that does not possess
some attractions peculiar to itself which
by Judicious presentation to the outside
world could be turned to the towns
distinct advantage.
There may be an excellent factory
site, with plenty Of loose labor mate
rial lying around waiting for employ
ment Wisdom suggests that the adj
vantages Of this site and the unemploy-
ed population be made known to manu-
facturers who are looking for just such
combination. Various kinds Of goods
can be manufactured to better advan-
tage In country towns than in the big
cities. Manufacturers are on the look
out for favorable locations In country
towns.
There are towns which lack loca!
business concerns Of one kind or an
other which the population needs. 1t
may be tailoring establishment or a
bakery or an up to date dairy. The
big cities have plenty Of men engaged
In these occupations who are eager to
get located in good country towns.
where they may live in more healthful
surroundings, educate their children
under better influences than the city
affords and grow old gracefully. But
how are these possible settlers to know
of the opportunities unless the towns
possessing the opportunities make the
fact known?
Almost any town within reasonable
radius of large city can attract men
of means who will build summer homes
where their families may spend the
hot months free from the discomforts
of life In the sitting streets. Some
towns. of course. are more desira BILE
than others in this respect. but unless
the townspeople themselves undertake
the task Of making the fact known the
city people will not discover it. Towns
that neglect such possibilities are hid
ing their light.

visits to the grand old structure a fell

tackled the verger. a sedate and digni-
fed specimen, with Can | see the ca

explained slowly and courteously that
the service would begin in twenty min

as that to show anybody round the ca
thedral; that no one could be shown
around during service and that after
service the cathedral would be closed
for the day as far as sightseeing went.
"Oh, but don't want to spend an

Although not so prominent in Teu-

still looked upon as a mystic animal
throughout Sweden and north Germa-

OUR BLUEGRASS STATE.

/ weep for thee. my native state,
The proudest of the proud,
And grieve because thy noble head
In disgrace now is bowed.
Oh, that our boys and soldiers brave,
Who march in daylight bright,
And conquer foes where'er they go,
Upon the field of Right.
'Tis shame and disgrace on our Men
Because they shun the light,
And ride with masks upon their face
And do their work at night.
Oh, that our Men were brave and
strong,
And loyal to the Right,
Working with noble high aim.
In the fullness OF True Light.
Then once again our Blue-Grass state
Would lift the head now bowed,
And claim Her Place among the brave
Also among the proud.
