SHAMEFUL SPECTACLE
Legislature Wrangling Over Senator
ship and Neglecting Needs of the
State-Both Leaders Wrong.

The disgusting spectacle at Frank
fort goes on, and it seems as if it
would soon be a disgrace instead of
an honor to be a kentucky legisla-
tor. No work of any Importance is
being done, and both parties are
wrangling and sacrificing the inter
ests Of the whole state in the battle
over the senatorship. Not only
the County Unit Bill but all other
good legislation Is being held up,
and there are now only about a doz-
en- DAYS of the session left. 1t Is
getting more and more likely that
Gov. Wilson will be forced to call
an extra session to force the legis-
lators to do something to earn their
salaries. The State does not pay
members of the legislature much, but
it is safe 10 say that not a man in
Frankfort has earned his board and
keep so far this winter.
The moves in the game this last
week have been no credit TO any
body. First the Anti-Saloon League
got statements from both Bradley and
Beckham that they were in favor of
the County Unit Bill. OF course
no sane man that wants any political
power in this state will defy the
temperance people now-not openly.
Then Mr.. Beckham suggested that
there be a truce in the senatorship
fight and the County Unit Bill be
disposed of-which Mr.. Beckham
himself can do any time he Will
give the word and his friends will
stop obstructing the work of the
legislature. Mr.. Bradley should, for
the good of the state, have accepted,
but instead issued statement say
ing that Mr.. Beckham was insincere
and was holding up legislation
which was true, but did not change
the fact that IL Bradley had accept
ed Beckham's insincere proposition
good would have been done. SO, be-
tween them, nothing was done.
Meanwhile, the Democrats have
been forcing adjournment from day
to day to keep the Republicans from
getting reports from the committees
which have heard the contest cases,
and which, 1t is said. will report that
two more Republicans should be
seated. The situation is just what
The Citizen predicted weeks ago
that nothing good would be done
unless there was a compromise on
some decent Democrat.

PRESIDENT AT WORK: - The
President stirred up a good deal Of
talk late last week by a letter he sent
to the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion asking that they investigate the
report that the L. & n. was going
to reduce the wages Of its employees
because of the so-called hard times.
President Smith OF the road replied
that he did not believe there would
be any trouble with the employees,
and showed figures to prove that the
railroad had TO cut somewhere. The
Presidents letter intimated that the
reason the road wanted 10 cut wages
was that it had watered stock to
such an extent that it could not stand
any contraction in business, and this
charge has not been answered.

SETTLE LOOSES

George Settles motion for new
trial has been oVerruled by Judge
Benton in Richmond, and unless he
takes the case to a higher court he
must go to the penitentiary. 1t is
understood that he will not do this,
as 1t is very expensive, he is not
well to do and his friends are said
to be disguised. The Judge, also,
gave him little hope. overruling each
of the points in his motion sepa-
rately.

they are just as bad as ever, and
the raiders are getting to think that
they own the state. There is a little
more life in the movement against

the law breakers will get something
hot sometime. The Christian Coun-
ty Law and Order League has sent
a petition to the legislature asking
that something be done, and several
ministers have made similar ap-
peals.
