Between Paducah's general council
and the state legislature the East
Tennessee Telephone company is re-
ceiving much undesirable attention.
Senator McNutt, of Louisville, whose
home town also is engaged in tele-
phone litigation, has introduced a
measure that is designed to give other
telephone systems the benefit of the
East Tennessee company's long dist
ance system. The measure makes
telephone companies common carriers
and requires them TO make suitable
connection and transmit messages
over these connections. It places
telephone companies under control of
the railroad commission. Another
bill, being prepared, gives cities the
right to regulate telephone charges
AS that is the sticking point in the
franchise contention It would give
the city big club.

Twenty-six million dollars is the
estimated loss from preventable. dis
eases in the state of Kentucky every
year. The exact figures as computed
by the state board of health are $780,
zee, 900. According TO DR.. j. y. Nc
Cormick, of the board of health,
hundreds of thousands of dollars are
spent every year as a matter OF rou-
tine to prevent crime, and but practi-
cally nothing TO prevent diseases.
AS shown by the chart of the Ameri-
can tuberculosis exhibition at the Y.
NJ. c. A. at Frankfort there were
1878 deaths by preventable diseases
in the state of Kentucky. OF this
number a little less than half is di-
vided among murder cholera inran-
tum, typhoid fever, diphtheria. scar
let fever and smallpox. The other
3,45S goes to the credit of tubercu
losis.

Country legislators have a way of
getting even with Frankfort boarding
house keepers. Representative Strange
evidently got a cold storage egg and
a bad fish for breakfast. Immediately
he presented a bill, making such
practices by landlords punishable by
fine of $500. And isn't it grievious
fault to so wrong the legislative stom-
ach? Then, too, the measure is in the
interest of the great American hen.

prize, he finds the market glutted
with Chicago eggs, and the price
away down. A bas cold storage!

ATCHAFALAYA LEVEE
BOARD MET
MONDAY.

From the Baton Rouge Daily
State we learn there was a
meeting of the Levee Board III
Baton Rouge on Monday. This
meeting was interesting for Sc
veral reasons
The first reason is because of the
fact that il is the initial meeting
after the resolutions adopted by
the General Assembly authorizing
an investigation into the affairs OF
the board, and the reason why the
people of st. Martin Partin were
not given proper protection. Iht
investigation which the General
Assembly made was an exonera-
ton of the levee board and show
ed that the policy which 1t had
very materially given protection
to the people of st. Martin, Iberia
and ST. Mary parishes.
The second reason is because at
this meeting steps will be taken
to have Congress erect a dam over
Bayou Courtableau. At the re-
cent session of the General AS.
sembly measure was passed ex'
tending the limits of the Atchafa-
lava Basin Levee Boards terrific
ry in order to build some levees
in st. Martin Parish, and a con
curreut resolution was also passed
introduced by John Marks. ask
lug Congress to build this Bayou
Courtableau dam. 1t is probable
that a committee will be appoln
ted to visit Washington i'll the in
terest of the proposed dam.

A ATTRIBUTE TO MOTHER
HOOD.

~ ~ ~
mo HUMAN BEING HAS A GREATER
TITLE TO RESPECT THAN THE
MOTHER WHO DOES HER
FULL DUTY.
President Roosevelt delivered
An address. on "Goud Citizenship
before "A large gathering OF Metho-
dists ut Washington the other day
and in the course of his speech
paid glowiug tribute to mother
hood, rs follows
IF the average man is brave and
Woodworking and clean-living, II
the average woman has the quail
ties which make good wife and
good mother If each has self-re-
spect, and if each realizes that the
greatest thing in life is the chance
t. do service why. then the fu-
ture of the nation is secure. We
cannot stand up for what is good
in manhood and womanhOOd with
out condemning what is evil. We
must condemn the man who 10
either brutal and vicious, or weak
and cowardly; the man who fails
to do his duty by the public, who
is bad neighbor, an idler, an in
considerable aud selfish husband, a
neglectful father. So also we must
condemn the woman who, whether
J from cowardice or GOODNESS, from
selfish love of eace or from lack OF
all true womanly quality, refuses
, to do Alright her great and all
J essential duties of wifehoOd and
! motherhood. We admire good
\ man; but Ne admire good wo
man more. We believe in bel
more. All honor is due the mar
who does his full duty in peace
\ who as a soldier does his full du.

greater title than the motfe
who does her full duty, who bears
and rears plenty of healty chill

quantity our people shall Increase
The measure of our belief in all,
