WEDNESDAY. MARCH u, 1909.
VOTE FOR THE ROAD
AMENDMENT.

There is no question before the
people OF Kentucky equal to that
of good roads Ifpart of the money
now being expended by the gov
eminent, the States and the coun-
ties was spent on the roads, the re-
turns in substantial progress would
be much greater. AS missionary
agency, there is nothing equal to
good roads. We use the word mis-
sionary in its broadcast sense. Good
roads will enable the people to at
tend the churches, and the children
to get to the schools and the far
mers to get their produce to mar
ket. Farm lands will be worth
more. Trade will be Increased.
Social life will be improved.
There is nothing that is good but
what will be made better by the
establishment of good roads. To
get thorough system OF 1oaQs,
it is necessary to have cooperation
with all of the authorities and par
ties interested. Government aid
isonly question of time. AT the
election this fall an amendment to
the State Constitution will be voted
on. Some features of our present
Constitution will appear to have
been adopted with the idea that
the people cannot be trusted. AS
it is, no aid can be given by the
State in any form. If the amend
ment carries it will give the Leg
islature the power to enact equi-
table laws that will put on foot a
comprehensive system for making
new roads where Needed and i'm
proving those already established.
Vote for the amendment.

presented at the opera house, matt
nee and night, Tuesday, March %.
The presentation of the play has been
awaited with a great deal of interest.
The comedy comes with the glitter
and eclat of its New York and Boston
engagements. Those who witness the
play will find in its scenes that are
likely to be remembered for many
days. One of these the little bare
footed Lena and the faithful old
Granny bidding farewell to the old
home in Slocumville, Mass, as they
start on their journey to their new
home in the South. Another is that
of the party which brings together
the heroine and her handsome South

portunity for the wearing of some of
the most beautiful gowns ever seen
in this city. Burton Nixon, has given

as being one of much strength and

$4,000 FINE AGAINST
REFINERY SUSTAINED.

FRANKFORT, KY, March 49,
The Court of Appeals has adjudged
that the Indian Refining Company
must pay fine of $4,000 for pollut-
ing the waters of Elzhorn Greek with
refuse oil, caused by overflow from
its reservoirs near Georgetown, Scott
county.
The refining company was indicted
in the Franklin Circuit Court. Resi-
dents along Ellzhorn testified that
the water was rendered unfit for
drinking and thousands of fish killed
by the oil in it. The case was very
hard fought in the lower court and
attracted much interest.

LACK OF GINGER

Washington Plays Listless
Game Against Jennings
Peppery Club.

DETROIT. Mich, May 24-Even I'M
der a new captain, Washington failed 10
impress Detroit fans in Sundays game,
which they lost mainly because of list
less playing.
The visitors absolutely showed a lack
of ginger, possibly accounted for by
Joe Cantillon's inability to preside on
the bench. CanuIlon's suspension.
which dates back to the st. Louis
series. is still in force. He watched the
opening game here from a prominent
part of the grandstand. and had little
opportunity to advise his men.
The Sunday attendance was a start
ling disappointment. Apparently, De-
troit fans must see the Tigers IN front
by big margin to insure big crowds.
The fans here are beginning to quit
since the club has suffered reverses at
the hands of Eastern teams. Less than
5000 people turned out. A month ago,
the first Sunday game, the attendance
reached nearly 1900.
Pitcher Johnson is slightly improved,
and his case is grip in mild form. No
serfOus results are anticipated, local
physicians assuring Cantillon on this
point
Nullip will be trotted out against
Washington in the second game. Can
