Magistrate Charles Emery Re-
turns From Frankfort With
Latest Political Gossip
Gus Rogers Lands His Job.

Magistrate c. w. Emery has re-
turned from Frankfort, where he has
been attending the legislature. and is
smiling at the attempt TO stab him in
the back by the fiscal court, which
adopted the resolution endorsing Bert
johnson, former county road super
visor, for the job of state road COM
missioner. Magistrate Emery went
to Frankfort 10 look after the job
himself, and other members of the
court endorsed Johnson after his de-
parture.
However, the place will not be
created Mr.. Emery said: Instead of
the state road supervisor the legisla-
ture may create the position of state
road attorney, whose duty will be TO
see that the states interests are pro-
tected In the right of the county to
issue bonds for road improvement as
provided IN the good roads amend
ment, which carried at the last cleo
tion. This appointment, II is under
stood. will be left to the promoters,
who worked for the success of the
amendment.
"As far as tie fiscal court endors-
ing Bert Johnson for the job is con-
lcerned. don't care. l am glad that
the fiscal court could vote for him be-
cause there was nothing for him at
Frankfort. l believe that / had the
fight won for the job, had the posi-
i ton been created. for | had 60 votes
pledged to me, and that was enough
for election.
West Kentucky got everything
that was asked at the hands of the
Legislature" continued Magistrate
Emery. in the caucus there was a
little fight for the job of clerk of the
senate, but all the other places were
filled without friction. In the senate
west Kentucky has Conn Linn. of
Murray, president OF the senate; Mott
Ayres. sergeant-at-arms; Jesse ALL
son, OF Lincoln. assistant clerk; s. o.

Architect w. l.. Brainard for a $685.
900 modern apartment house to be
built by Mrs. William Hughes and

OF Ninth and Jefferson streets. The

there are several details to be worked

Der OF rooms. II Is expected that
there will be suites OF two rooms and

The present idea. Mr.. Hughes said,
is to construct a building fronting CO
feet on Jefferson street and extend
ing back 173 feet toward the alley.
Either brick or concrete will be the
material used. although brick proba-
1ly will be the preference. The plans
will call FOR co spacious rooms, heat
d By steam and lighted by elec-
trieity. Every detail OF the new
building will be modern in every re-
spect.
II will rise three stories in height

The foregoing kilograms were re-
ceived by Mayor Smith in response to
the following inquiry from him:
what is the character of the show,
The Girl From Rector's, with regard
to its moral fitness for public pre-
"The Girl From Rector's," which
is booked for The Kentucky Satur-
day night, has come in for consider
able notoriety during its tour. and at
Lexington, KY, and Springfield. ILL.,,
at least, the ministers OF the city pro-
tested and the question was put up
to the mayors to decide whether the
show should go on. In both instances
il was allowed to go on, and the tele-
grams from these two towns indicate
that nothing unseemly took place
there.
In Loulsvills and st. Louis the
papers roasted the show mercilessly.
The Paducah Pastors association
] took up the question and Mayor
Smith was asked to take a hand. The
local managers are tied up by con-
tract, which they cannot break with
out being liable for damages; so they
are out OF the controversy. The
Girl From Rector's" plays the first
class theaters and they were not on
notice OF anything wrong.
Mayor Smith stated that he does
not wish to pose as the keeper Of the
public conscience, or be moral censor
for the community. Yet. he said. he
appreciates the fact that innocent
people are sometimes lnyeigled into
theater and subjected to humilia-
tion by what they witness. Besides
this. he does net intend to stand for
any public parade OF demoralzing
indecency.
AS consequence, he says he will
not interfere with the performance IL
II is clean. Police officers and repre-
sentatives of the mayor will be in the
audienee, and II the show contravenes
the law In regard to deceney the show
will be stopped and witnesses will be
Summoned by the police present.
With this understanding "The Girl
From Reetor's" will be allowed to
proceed.
