Mr. Finn and the Senate.

The Hon. William Finn is a candidate
for the United States Senate. He has
aspired to the Office before. He wanted
It when Mr. Knox was chosen Mt. rem
rose saws he offered a million or two
dollars for it, Mr.. Finn denounces the
statement as lie.
Mr.. Finn is a candidate now. and no
mistake 1t is understood that If the next
legislature has a progressive majority ne
will be chosen to succeed Mr.. Penrose.
And, if it comes, sweet Will De the
triumph. The two statesmen do not love
each other little bit.
Now as to the preliminaries. Mr.. Finn
il at the head of the progressive move
ment in Pennsylvania. He is both
"angeI' and organizer. and If he wins Will
be the leading beneficiary of his own &C
tivity. If success is achieved there will
be a good deal in it for him.
Question: Is the money Mr.. Finn has
spent so far in the campaign, and will
probably spend between now and election
day, properly chargeable against his SEN
atorial candidacy? Why not? State as
well as national affairs are at issue. What
Mr. Finn has in hand relates to the cleo
ton of members of the legislature as
well as of members of the electoral col
lege. Money spent for the cause covers
the interests of everybody connected with
the cause" Mr.. Roosevelt is no more
a presidential candidate than Mr.. Finn
is a senatorial candidate.
The Pittsburgh reformer confesses to a
liberal outlay to date. He is in to the
amount of considerably more than a hun
dred thousand dollars. Would it outrage
probability to guess that before election
day his contributions will reach a total
of 100000
Now a simple sum in arithmetic. A
senator receives in salary $500 a year.
A senator serves six years. A senator
draws for full term. therefore, $4J.9G0-
less than fourth of the estimated
amount of Mr.. Flinn's contributions to
the movement to retire Mr.. Penrose from
the Senate and elect him.
Let it be considered that in Pennsyl-
make the mare go. Even spontaneous
sentiment in politics needs practical
boosting. as we see in the case of Mr.
Roosevelt. Mr.. Finn has perfect right
to put up in this campaign, and the
pile he is putting up testifies to the sort
OF sport he Is. He wants not only the
senatorship, but the approval of his lead
giver. But is the Finn prediction pile
to be included in Mr.. Films expense ac-
count II he controls the next Pennsyl-
vania legislature and asks for "his''-the
senatorship?

The Two Practical Men.

From the New York Sun.
The political intimacy between Presl'
dent Roosevelt and the late Edward n
Hartman during the campaign Of 1901
is further illustrated by the letters and
dispatches produced Monday afternoon
at Washington by the former private sec
rotary of Mr.. Hartman. Without adding
direct evidence of sensational importance
they strengthen the theory Of this highly
interesting relation that has been gener-
ally entertained since the first publica-
ton Of letter to Mr.. Sidney Webster
Mr. Tegethoff further testified of his own
knowledge that Mr.. Hartman in the win
ter of 1908 informed him of the $25O,OUC
transaction four years earlier and attrib-
uted it to conferences between himself
and President Roosevelt.

A Double Good.
From the Boston Post.

The University Of North Carolina has
done the only thing it could do with any
sense Of it's responsibility to the people
of the state. and has expelled twenty
haz,ng of a freshman that resulted in his
death. The college has done its duty in
the premises. Better than that. however.
the hazers have been arrested and are
awaiting trial for manslaughter. 1t Is to
he hoped that no false ideas Of students
prerogatiyes will enter into the decision
of the jury that sits on the case. con-
yiction with Jail sentences would be an
object lesson of some influence in the few
colleges where hazing is still regarded as
fashionable.

On Petition For Bridge
Order
This day came the commissioners
herein, John N. Akers and Henry Can
non, who were appointed at a former
term of this court to examine into the
necessity and ACCESSIBILITY of erecting
a bridge at Galloway Ford across North
Fork of Rough creek, and filed report
recommending the construction of a
bridge near said ford, and the Road and
Bridge Supervisor of Breckenridge
county having been directed to accomp-
any them, and make recommendation
as to the necessity of said bridge, also
filed a report recommending the con-
struction of the bridge as reported, and
the said report of the Commissioners
and Supervisor is made a part of this
record and ordered recorded, and is in
words and figures as follows:
1--WE, the undersigned, John N. Akers
and Henry Cannon, Commissioners ap.
pointed at the Jan. 6, 1912, called term
of this court, to examine point at the
Galloway ford across the North Fork of
Rough creek, as to the necessity and
advi ability of erecting bridge at said
point, respectfully report as follows;
We examined the proposed site for a
bridge across Rough creek at the GAL
loway Ford, on March 10Th, 1912 and
were accompanied by the County Road
Supervisor. a great number of citizens
from the surrounding community were
present, and we carefully examined the
bridge site and received from these peo-
pie suggestions and information that |
we deem valuable and hereinafter re.
port
We did not find it practicable to con-
struct bridge across the creek at the
Galloway Fork proper, but we find
suitable point for the proper location of
such bridge about sixty (60) yards up
the creek from where the county road |
intersects the creek at the ford AT the
point mentioned, sixty 1907 yards above
the present ford, we find that a bridge
with a span of one hundred and five
(lOj) feet will be sufficient, and on one
side the bridge will rest on an appar-
emily solid lime stone rock foundation,
and the other end will reach the bank,
which appears to be solid and of such a
nature as to make foundation for con-
crete or stone. No drills or grading
will be necessary to go into the bridge
from either side. Two bridge compan-
les had representatives present and they

The Breckenridge news. (Cloverport, Ky.) 1876-1955, 1912-05-01

We believe the bridge can be con-
structed for two thousand five hundred
(250O 00) dollars. and, IL the cliff can be
used as an abutment on one side. 1t may
not cost that much.
Your Commissioners further report
that, in their opinion, the construction
of the said bridge at this point is neces-
sary for the convenience OF a very large
section Of Breckenridge county, and
that the ford, as now used, is impass
able a great part of the year and very
dangerous; that great deal Of hauling,
milling and travelling Is done by the
community, which is cut off from Hard.
insburg, the county seat, because of
being unable to cross North Fork at
this point; that Hardinsburg is the to
bacco market, the mill point, the bank.
ing point, and general trading point
for the people cut off by North Fork;
that said bridge il necessary for the
locality cut off by the North Fork of
Rough Greek to reach their respective
railroad stations on the Louisville,
Henderson & St. Louis Railway; that
at the present time a large portion of
one of the best sections of Breckenridge
county is compelled, by reason of not
having bridge at suggested point, to
go farther to the town of Leitchfeld in
another county to transact their various
kinds of business; that this works a dis
elimination against our county seat,
and that same, in our opinion, can and
should be remedied by the construction
of this much needed bridge; and we
further say that a reasonable good road
may be had to the bridge, as proposed
on either side OF the creek.
So, weighing the necessity for the
said bridge and the location of same,
surroundings and consequence general
ly, we unqualifedly recommend to this
Honorable Court the immediate con-
struction at the point by us proposed
