In every session of the Legislature
there are numberless bills introduced
pertaining to the regulation of rail
roads. We want one introduced, and
believe it will pass, unanimously. 1t
is to make law to hang the fresh-air
fiend who happens to be aboard every
train in cold weather. Just about the
time 3 car becomes comfortable, one
of these demphools will raise win

Fresh air Is all right, but we would

WEDNESDAY. DEC. s 1909

In Mondays Courier Journal there
appeared what purPorts to be an in
terview with Hon. Harvey Helm, stat
ing that he would be a candidate for
Congress for the next term to succeed
himself. This announcement comes
as a surprise, as Mr.. Helm, both on
the occasion when be was Candidate
six years ago, as well as when he was
nominated, stated to his friends here
that he would not be a candidate for
a third term. This is the estimate
which he himself put upon the extent
of the period which he desired as a
member OF Congress, and 1t is no an
swer to this for him to say that other
Congressman have served a greater
number of terms than he has served
and with great distinction. We are
inclined to think that in this regard
Mr.. Helm has been incorrectly re-
ported.
