A fashionable young lady once drove

MAN HAS A RIGHT
TO DEFEND HIS HOME.

FRANKFORT, KY, Feb. 13.-The
right of man to defend his home
against the assaults and abuses of
others was made clear by the Ken
tucky Court of Appeals Thursday in
reversing the Judgment of the Lee
circuit court in the case of Daniel
Boone Watson, Jr., against the Com
mOnwealth.
Watson shot and killed Daniel Boone
Horn for insulting his wife and strik-
ing his daughter, and was sentenced
to the penitentiary for two years on a
charge of manslaughter. Three wit
nesses testified to the insults and at
tempted assault.
The Appellate Court says that the
prepOnderance of testimony favors
Watson. and that "if he had not taken
steps to protect his wife and daughter
he would not have been worthy of the
name of husband or father"

CAR SERVICE QUESTION.

FRANKFORT, KY, Feb. 13.-The
Kentucky Railroad Commission will
soon take up the car service ques-
ton, which is becoming quite an i'm
portant one over the entire State. AT
a meeting recently held in Louisville
it was announced by Chairman Siler
that notice would be given in order
that all might be heard.
Several years ago the car service
problem was thrashed out after about
three months deliberation by the
commission, but the trend of events
in railroad circles has made it nee
essary to look forward to a revision
of the present rules, as it is now com
planned that several arbitrary fea-
lures exist under present rules fav-
oring railroad companies. When the
matter was adjusted before, every
railroad company In the State was
represented, and the record when
completed was composed of several
thousand pages of typewriter mat
ter.
1t has been suggested by Com
missioner Tarlton that the Kentucky
Commission formulate set of rules
modelled after States like Indiana and
Ohio, and then allow the railroad
companies to appear before the com
mission if not satisfied and be heard.
1t is thought, however, that the same
manner of proceeding will be had
as was had when rules were last ad-
justed.

PRIMARY EXPENDITURES.

The official statement Of United
States Senator Isaac Stephenson of
Wisconsin showing that the expenses
of his candidacy for the nomination of
United States Senator at the primary
election amounted to over $107 900
ought to be enough to secure his de-
feat. There should be a law passed
IN every State forbidding any such
expenditures at any primary or other
election by an individual candidate.
The Senate Of the United States
has long been known as the million
aires club. Under tHe legislative
system of election for many years,
only rich men, with a few notable
exceptions, were returned to the Sen
ate. 1t seemed as if a poor man or
man of moderate means, no matter
what his ability, had little chance of
securing a seat in that august body.
1t was this fact that was potent
factor in promoting the agitation to
amend the constitution to allow a
Senator to be chosen by popular
vote. The best men of the country
felt that the system which promoted
