George \. Cooke has served three
years on the supreme bench in a man
FER that reflected credit not only TO
himself, but TO the highest court in the
state
Perhaps the finest tribute that can
be paid him rests in the fact that,
ignoring all political preferments, the
six sterling men who are his associ-

pleased t. see him returned TOT that
bench for further service TO the peo-

Lets Have the Street.
(Contrbuted)

On the 18th day of March 1912
the Governor gave his approval to
an act of the Kentucky Legislature
under which the City Council in
cities Of the fifth class may order
streets opened md constructed at
the cost of the land owner.
The extension of Portman avenue
to Danville avenue is an improve
ment the town of Stanford has need
ed for years. Such a street would
furnish an outlet to the Graded
School to a multitude Of school chill
dren that are now compelled to trav-
el the railroad right of way or else
20 through the negro quarter of the
town. both of which routes, are
manifestly improper for children at
tending the school.
The extension of the street would
in many ways serve the business
conveniences of the town and would
open up a most desirable residence
addition. The opening of this street
has been delayed because the town
did not have the funds necessary to
pay the bills. Under the new law
this need not be an obstacle in the
way, and making this improvement
at the expense OF the property own
ers, is, in this instance, no hard
ship because the increased value re-
sulting to the abutting property
and the opening up of market to
them will more than compensate the
owners for the outlay.
Let the Council get busv. let the
people have this needed improve
ment. Let the children have this
necessary outlet to school. and the
Council that does it will long be re-
membered in this town as the pro-
gressive, wide awake business ad-
of the city.
Get busy and we can have the
school children travelling the new
street when school opens h the fall,

DELAWARE COLLEGE BLUE
OVER FOOTBALL PROSPECTS

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL.
NEWARK. Del, Oct 9-The football
situation at Delaware College is far
from satisfactory. It was announced
last night that a thirty-minute scrim-
mage would be held. Usually there
is a larger number of candidates on
scrimmage night than at any other
time, but not enough men reported for
practice to form the two necessary
elevens. The cause of this could not
be accounted for. Several of the
men who usually come out. especi-
ally the scrub men, are dissatisfied
with the way in which the scrubs
have TO work The college has only
the one coach. except for a few
Alumni, who occasionally drop in for
a few days and help out with the
coaching. The scrubs therefore very
seldom get any real coaching, and
some do not think 1t worth while to
come out and get banged up by the
Varsity under the circumstances
The Varsity men do not seem to
work together properly. Coach Mac
Avoy works hard to get the men ia
work together. Out of $50 men in col

way things stand. He has shifted

On Thursday there will be a meet
ing of the student body to discuss the
situation and see what can be done
towards inducing the men to come out
for the team. Several of the faculty
and Alumni members will speak al
the meeting Friday night a big
smoker will be held in the Oratory
The first home game is the following
day, and 1t is hoped that this smoker
will bring the enthusiasm of the
student body up to the highest pitch
The game on Saturday is with

played on the field Of David c. Rose

ANY statistics Of the quantity Of
Liquor consumed during the fiscal year

Indications are that there has been n
slight increase in the consumption OF
all Kinds of liquors during The past
year. The total per capita consun:p-
ton exactly equals that OF 1907, which
was the highest in our history The
argument that the moro beer that is
used the less spirits will be consumed
Is by no means sustained by the facts.
