THE BEAST IN KENTUCKY.

Ben B. Lindsey, in his serial "The
Beast and Jungle, is revealing the
lobby ridden legislature Of Colorado;
but no state in the union is witness
ing a more disgraceful exhibition Of
puppets in the general assembly,
dangling on wires pulled by corrupt
lobbyists, than Kentucky. A few
meritorious bills will pass after the
rules committee takes charge and
the special interests are assured that
they will not be injuriously affected
by legislation; but these meritorious
bills are simply in the interest of
municipalities that are backed by
local politicians. The great tax, pub
lie debt and school matters will re-
ceive no benefit from the thousands
Of dollars this session is costing the
people OF Kentucky.
The interests of Kentucky are ask
ing for nothing. They have every
thing they want, excepting a little
Incidental protection here and there
by statutory amendment. Their
hired lobbyists are there 30 prevent
the passage OF reform measures. The
telephone lobby, the railroad lobby,
the school book trust lobby. and the
dozen other Hobbies pay the legisla-
tors to do their bidding ten times
over what the state pays them.
1t Is disgraceful TO contemplate
at a distance. II is sickening and
disheartenlng, when one sees church
officers and business leaders engaged
in II. BY trickery of the basest sort,
the amendment to the federal con-
stitution. permitting the United
States to tax incomes when neces-
sary, which was adopted in good
faith by the legislature, was made
null by the omission of the word
s'incones" from the resolution.
Men have deliberately lied to their
constituents to secure seats in the
generally assembly; men of reputa-
tion have made political alliances
with interests that stripped the posi-
ton of all honor before they secured
It.: men have surrendered their man
hood, their regulations for good

parties involved; the street railway
company and the public.
The public granted to the street
railway company the night TO use the
streets of the city, not to add TO the
industries of the city and give en-
ployment to a certain number OF
men; but in order TO facilitate travel
between distant parts of the city;
and since the construction of the
lines, people have adapted their mode
of living to the convenlences afforded
by the traction system, and have be-
come dependent on the street car
service for transportation between
their homes and their places of busi-
ness. Consequently. any interference
with the operation of the cans directly
affects every individual citizen.
The employees of the street railway
company demanded certain things OF
the company, which were refused
point blank. No offer was made TO
arbitrate their differences; but the
company and the men, each utterly
regardless of the rights of the citi-
zens of Philadelphia to their own
streets, have made those streets the
bloody battle ground. where they are
fighting out their private differences.
There should be some way to compel
and the men should be
to make their specific de-
mands first and then submit the
issues to arbitration before they
strike. It would save them and their
much hardship.
Right is right. II the men are
right or partially right, their demands
should be met so far as they are
right. II they are wrong, their de-
should be rejected; but a fight
in the streets of Philadelphia will
never settle the question of right and
wrong.

The most Important of the good
roads bills remain to be passed and IL
Kentucky is to have good roads any
time soon, these two bills are greatly
needed. One of the bills which has
not yet passed is that giving state
aid to the counties. The other creates
the Office of good roads commissioners
and gives him charge of all the roads
in the state, says the Paducah News
Democrat.

Instead of devoting its attention
to finding some means by which the
commonwealth could be extricated
from the middle Of a mighty bad fix
financially, owing to the extrava-
gance of its predecessor, the present
session of the legislature is proving
to be nothing more than its imitator
in voting appropriation without
provision for their payment. All the
work that II is really accomplishing
is the perpetuation OF Republican
rule in Kentucky by digging the
grave Of the Democratic party

his associates on that body. domcs-

FARMER THROWN OUT OF
HIS BUGGY AND INJURED

Holly Shelton, farmer of the
Maxon Mill section, was thrown
from his buggy and his right elbow
fractured, his buggy splintered into
kindling wood and his horse so bad
ly injured that II was necessary to
call a surgeon yesterday afternoon
at Tenth and Trimble streets, when
his horse took fright at a piece OF
paper blowing across the street. Mr..
Shelton was on his way home from
the city. He was dragged a short
distance with the vehicle and the
horse was stopped a short distance
from the scene on Trimble street.
The injured man was escorted to DR..
H. f. Williamson's residence near
Sixth and Clay streets. where his
1rts were dressed. He was able TO
return home later in the afternoon.
Mr.. Shelton was bruised over the
body and his face and hands lacer-
ated. The buggy was valued at $40.

True and False "Commission" Plans.

True ana raise "COmnisSion" PianS.
On February 15 Sioux City. the sec
ond city in size in Iowa. adopted the
"Des Moines plan of city govern
ment." 1t voted on the plan two
years ago. and refused IL. After
studying the working of the plan In
its sister cities, Des Moines, Cedar
Rapids and Burlington, it has now
adopted 1t.
This is a triumph for democracy
in city government.
On the same day the city of Eau
Claire, Wis, adopted what Is called
the commission" plan in Wisconsin.
This is not a triumph for good city
government. The Wisconsin "com-
mission plan" is a corruption and
adulteration of the democratic com
mission plans" that have been so sue
cessful elsewhere.
The nation may as well take notice
now that the spurious commission
plan has made its appearance, and
cities should be on the lookout for II.
IL is the most important matter now
coming into view in city government
Let us look at these two plans
Sioux City will have simplified her
elections hereafter to a ticket of five
men. Eau Claire. under the Wiscon-
sin law, will elect only one every
two years. In itself Eau Claire's
plan may be as good as Sioux City's.
Sioux City will be able to invoke
the referendum on all acts of her
city commission. SO will Eau Claire.
But while Sioux City will be able to
apepal to the initiative IL the coun-
ell refuses to act on a matter Of i'm
lportance, the Eau Claire commission
may laugh at the peoples desires for
Legislation. In this the Des Moines
plan is good! that of Wisconsin is
bad.
| II any elective officer in Sioux
City proves false, or incompetent, OF
unworthy, the people have the ''re-
call'' by which to remove him from
Office. Eau Claire will have no recall
Her chosen three are removable only
If they get caught and impeached.
The Sioux City people may turn
all their five commissioners out OF
Office at the end of two years by
merely refusing TO re-elect them
But under the Wisconsin law. the
commissioners are elected for sin
years. and go out OF Office one at 9
time, one being elected every two
lyears.
Under the Wisconsin plan, with nc
initiative, no recall, and only one
third of the officers going out at 6
time, there Is sure TO be great cor
Eruption. Eau Claire may not hays
Il; but IL the cities OF Wisconsin
make the mistake OF adopting II gen
Ierally, there Is sure to be great cor
ruption. 1t is not democratic. IL Il
aristocratic. II is not modelled on tbs
Iold New England town-meeting prin
ciple of every citizen having a hant
in things. Rather, IL is framed or
the discredited plan Of the United
States senate, which is always si'
years ahead of any popular move
ment in getting elected-Louisvill'
