10 the Editor Of The Citizen:
In my travels l find that every
state ! visit in the South is "toot-
ing its horn and getting results
too. Some advertise the climate
(which has been very disagreeable
for about six weeks) some the rich
soil and some the mineral deposits.
i have met not less than one hun
dred people down here this winter
Call from north of the Ohio riyer)
looking for farms.
| find that these people are leay-
Ing the north on account of the ex-
tremely cold winters and high priced
land. Now 1t seems to me that we
should wake up. all pull together
and advertise old Kentucky and es-
pecially Berea and vicinity.
The enterprising business men of
Berea could well afford to spend a
few dollars each year in advertising
the many advantages to be had i'm
and around Berea.
IL one wants to live in town, can
be beat Berea for schools, churches,
health. climate or most anything else
that goes to make up an ideal To-
cation for a home?
IL one wants a farm. he can get
1t within a few miles of Berea at
Price to suit his purse. from ten TO
one hundred dollars per acre.
We need scientific farmers, dairy
men and gardeners. Why not invite
them from the north? They are
only waiting for an invitation TO
Eake their homes in the Blue Grass
state. Let us spread the invitation.
Wake up Bereans, Wake up.

TO REGULATE INSURANCE

The Senate Bill providing for q
commission of three men, including
the State Insurance Commissioner, 10
pass upon fire insurance rates as fix
cd by the companies operating in Ken
lucky, passed the Lower House OF
the Legislature the latter part OF
the week by vote of IS to z In
spite of the urgent efforts of the in
surance lobby. This is another bill
which reflects credit upon the Nc
Creary administration.
PRISON REFORM BILL
The Democratic platform called
for the taking of the prisons out Of
politics, and Governor McCreary, both
from the stump and In his message
TO the Legislature, expressed him
self in favor of such a measure, and
in accordance with his wishes the
bill providing for a bipartisan
board was introduced into the Lower
House by Mr.. Atherton of Louisville
Rut during the absence of Mr.. Ather-
ton, when il had been assured that
the measure would pass, a party mea-
sure was substituted, known as the
Hamilton Bill, which also claimed to
have the Governors sanction; and
now it is assured that this bill will
pass the Senate and receive the Cover
nor's signature. Both the Legislature
and the Governor have been subject
ed to the seyerest criticism by the
press throughout the state, the Cour-
fer Journal taking the lead and char
acterizing the action as the hog re-
turning to its wallow.'
II is greatly to be regretted that
an administration whose acts until
this time have met with universal
approval should fall so suddenly to
such depths.
