Among some of the bills intro
duced in the Senate aud House
since the beginning of the present
session, by our representatives
and the representative of our
neighboring county are the fol-
lowing: a hill by State Senator
Brock from Harlan County, max
ing it. a Gne of from $1,000 to
$4,000 and imprisonment of
from ten days to one year for
any one Found guilty Of starting
untrue slanderouS stories which
injure any o res reputation. This
bill, should it b C me a law, will
be one of the best laws passed in
recent years and will affect
more people. Heretofore there
has only been law whereby
anyone convicted of such oifrnse
is liable for damages for SANDER
bat the trouble vas there were
s,many people who were the
worst, offenders that a Judge
inert wOuli have been worthless
against should the courts hav,
awarded such. This law will
reach all alike, and it is TO be
hoped that the bill will pass and
speadily become a law.
Another good bill that has
been introduced was that by
Senator Ellsworth which makes
it miSiemeanor for any one to
disturb another by the flourish
ing uf firearms on the public
Highways. We have law
against carrying concealed weap
ons and also one against the
shooting off of firearms ON the
public highways, but at present
there is nothing 90 hinder any
one so minded from ilourishing
pistol and creating as much ex-
element as he wishes 80 long as
he does not conceal t or dis
charge it. Let us have this law
passed and enforced, aud we
will add one more step forward
in our advance toward \ higher
civilization.
Representatives. Parker, of our
own district wishes to have .
law passed. preventing persons
under the age of Is years from
using tobacco in any form. At
first glance this may seem to lie
taking away personal privileges
but after giving it little
thought it will be seen that With
such law and that strictly en-
forced, it would be a great thing
for the boys who just naturally
take to the use of tobacco, and
do not know that when the hab-
lit is acquired while young that
il is only very, very small per
cent that ever break the habit.
This may, or may not, become
law, but it is a good bill, and al
though it. may sound a little on
the extreme, it can he seen that
its intentions are good.
