The Making Of Money.

Truly some men apparently
cannot help making money. They
are gifted with a sort of second
sight which shows them the val
ue of investments and the open
ings for capital. Until some stat
ute or other influence stops them
such men will continue to roll up
vast fortunes. Others will be
made lucky by chance. No i'm
portant signs appear as yet of
any restrictions upon the making
of great fortunes. And when
such wealth is expended upon
good objects like that Andrew
Carnegie. John H. Convers, John
S. Kennedy, and many others. it
is hard to condemn it.
Undoubtedly it is the duty of
every man to put forth his best
efforts to make not only a good
living for his family. but to pro-
vide adequately against the pos
side mutations of fortune and
the disabilities of sickness and old
age.-The Christian Herald.

LIQUOR TRAFFIC.
The regulation of the liquor
traffic has been upon the public
mind in Kentucky for many
years. The Constitution of 1891
required the Legislature to pro-
vide for submitting the question
to the people of each community,
so that it would be possible for
each county to vote as an ex-
elusive unit on the question of
prohibiting the sale of liquor.
That has never been complied
with except as to counties having
cities not larger than the fifth
class. 1t is provision for home
rule, by popular vote. favor

to comply with the Constitution

is the plank of the last Republi-
can State platform. An amend
ment to the Constitution on this
subject is not demanded.

the matter Mr.. TroXal said
I'm some parts OF the city there has
been an unusual amount of trouble
from trees growing into contact with
electric wires. This has probably been
due to the rapid growth following
rainfall after drouth.
"At any rate " he continued, "thc
electric service companies have h 4
difficulty in trimming trees away from

Of the growth. In addition to the nat

property owner to having ais trees

RECENT FIRE SHOWS
NEED OF APPARATUS
Little Rock Fire Department made
quate to Cope With Fire In
Tall Buildings

| lit lie Rock, Nov. 15.-The recent
time this year destroyed the Jones
| House Furnishing block, has aroused
| this city to the necessity of more
drastic fire protective ordinances and
equipment for the city. The fire
Gle arly monstrates tina the present
equipment is inadequate TO cope with
fire of this magnitude, in Tie high
buildings, and that it is impossible to
check fires of this character without
more efficient apparatus. Consider
able equipmen, has recently been add
ed but not of the kind needed 10
fight fire in high buildings. For this
purpose an aerial truck is considered
indispensable, and the purchase of
such an apparatus is being urged,
Each year sees more buildings erect
e! OF three stories and more, and
the equipment necessary to combat
flies in their upper stories must be
modem and up to da e.
Another thing which this fire has
accomplished is to attract attention
fol the regulation of interior con-
struction as we'll as the construction
o walls and roofs. With such an
ordinance and there has been in an
aldermanic pigeon hole for the last
two years-it would be practicable to
bring about an era of fire proof con-
tat would be cheaper for
the builders and be a protection to
surrounding property Fire traps
ould be banished from the business
dis rict, insurance rates would be de-
creased, and there would be sense
o. security which is not possible UNI

WAS COURT ILLEGAL?
Legislative Act to BE tttacked-WaS
Bill a Law or Not

Little Rock, Ark, Nov. 15.-An ia
teresting legal point is to be preached
1t is under stood, in a motion for re-
hearing of feature OF the W. S. Rhea
case. in Supreme Court. 1t is a que5-
ton of h; beas corpus, and rests upon
the question of when Il statute passed.
by the last Legislature changing the
time of meeting of the circuit court CT
Desha county became effective.
Under the Initiative and Referen-
DUN amendment, no law, unless the
emergency clause be attached, becomes
effective until ninety days after the ad
iournment of the Legislature. The acts
usually specify that they are in full
force and effect Immediately after
their passage. but this does not abro-
gate the ninety day rule, which still
applies. Now the question is to he
asked, What does after its passage
mean" 1t will be contended that it
means in reality 100 days CT six months
after the adjournment of the Legislit-
ture, that the act is not passed unit
all the Legislative formula has been
complied with, therefore that it is not
passed" until ninety days after the
adjournment, and therefore cannot be
come effective until the expiration OF
an additional 80 days there's fter. Il
this contention of Rhea's attorneys be
true, the act changing the time of
holding the Desha circuit court is no.
even yet in effect, and the defense
thereby wins an important advantage.
Counts seem divided ON the subject.
Texas, Colorado, Nebraska and some
others accept the theory that the don-
BILE time is required, while Massachus-
etts, West Virginia and SEINE others
argue that the first ninety days is suf-
ficient, and that at the expiration Of
such time the act becomes effective.
