The Filter.

Prof. E. H. Mark, of Bowling Green
KY, State Sanitary Engineer, was here
last week and inspected the new filter
at the water works, about which there
has been so much comment. Prof.
Mark pronounced the filter as it now
stands as utterly useless and wholly in
adequate to perform the work expected
and required of it. He stated that the
filter in so far as the principle of it's
construction was concerned was all
right, but was rendered useless because
of its size.
We are glad to be able to state how
ever that we are reliably informed
that there is enough of the fund voted
for the water works improvement yet
remaining to put in filter that will
give satisfaction, and that this will be
done at once, and the work will be COM
pleted before the coming of warm
weather and the necessity for it becom-
urgent. The present filter will become
unit" of a new and commodious
one, one of sufficient size and capacity
to meet all demands made upon it.
Prof. Marks will at once furnish plans
and specifications for the construction
of the proposed filter, and in his opinion
it can be constructed with the means at
the disposal of the city.
1t is of course muchly to be deplored
that the city was put to the expense of
building the filter only to find it useless,
but that matter is not to be remedied,
and we are indeed glad to know that We
are yet to have filter fully adequate
to the city's requirements. The water
in its present condition is good for all
purposes, being clear and pure, and it
will remain IN such condition for some
time, or until the coming of the heated
season, by which time it is fully expec-
ted that the city will have completed a
filter, which under the supervision and
advice of Prof. Marks will meet all re-
quirements.

We have heard good deal of late of
newspaper men seeking to break into
the political arena, but it remains for
clever A. D. Miller of the Richmond
Climax to have the political bee seek
him. The good people of Madison coun-
ty are anxious that he represent Madi-
son county in the Kentucky legislature,
and they have given voice to their wish
es in the form of a call, and it seems
that they are disinclined to take no for
an answer. 1t is to be hoped that Mr.
Miller will heed the call and will make
the race, and if what we hear is true,
his nomination and election is assured.
Certainly they could pick upon no more
high minded and capable gentleman.
Mr.. l.. B. Harrington who has so ably
represented Madison county, has declin-
ed to stand for reelection, and the peo-
pie have hit upon the best possible man
to succeed him, provided they can pre-
vail upon him to make the race.

Henry Burdett, who some weeks 90
was compelled to kill a man named
John Elkin at Burgin, while attempt
ing to make an arrest, was acquitted
at his examining trial in Harrodsburg
last week. Mr.. Burdett is town Mar
shall at Burgin.
Henry Burdett is native of Garrard
county, and lived in the county all his
life until recently he moved to Burgin.
He has many friends in this county,
where he was always good citizen,
and while they are exceedingly sorry
that he was SO unfortunate as to be
compelled to take the life of his fellow
man, are glad to know that he was
held justiiable by the courts.

The Passing Show.

A small cavalcade consisting of several
wagons, moth eaten grizzly
C?) bear, a disreputable looking Mexican
greaser, who claimed to be an indian.
and his equally disrerutable looking
wife, blew into town last week and
camped on a lot in the outskirts. 1t
was quietly whispered around that
hoochee coochee dance made up part Of
the performance, but even this
information did not suffice to attract
crowd, and despairing of doing any
business here they folded their tent
hiked. Such aggregatiOns really should
be punished for vagrancy. but other
places are like Lancaster ard are better
satisfied to see them leave than to go to
the trouble and expense of punising
them.

AT Olympia Springs June 9Th.

The Executive Committee of the Ken
lucky Press Association in session in
Louisville last FRIDAY deciced that the
annual meeting of the Association for
this year should be held at Olympia
Springs. Bath county on June 9th-14tn.
Messrs Desha Breckenridge of the Lex
ington Herald, Louis Landram, Danville
Messenger and Jim Allen of the Gym
thiana Democrat were appointed on the
programme comittee, and it is safe to
say that these three hustlers will have
something new and novel for the

-Four Years OF Silence.

When a Vice-President takes the
oath of Office, he usually relapses into
state of coma for four years-four
years of silence. Vice-President Mar
shall is not expected to break the pre-
cedents of his predecessors by saying
anything, and his inaugural address to
the senate will probably be the last
heard of him, for four years, at any
rate. There was something in that in
augural address which was very re-
freshing, very novel, very humorous
almost boyish, but at the last, his
speech is full of sound judgment and
force of character. His mention of the
Panama Canal tolls, and the attitude
of the outgoing administration to the
Latin American Republics cannot be
mistaken; "If any one in the name of
the American people, either in viola
ton of treaty obligations or the mani
fest purpose of the Monroe Doctrine,
has taken aught while this body was
celebrating it is your duty to ascertain
all facts thereto, and if wrong or in
justice has been done, even to the
humblest Republic, let this people be
brave enough and sufficiently honest to
make PREPARATION. The real greatness
of the Republic rests upon Its unsullied
honor, and it is the duty of this body
to search down rumors of bad faith and
rectify wrong wherever wrong is dis
covered"

Alverson Saved.

The fortunes of Editor jesse Aver
son of the Anderson News, which have
been placed in jeopardy by the filing of
several suits against him by county of
ficials of Anderson county, have been
as it were, snatched as brands from
the burning. Mr.. Alverson has pub
lished an article in his paper setting
forth that the information received by
him upon which he based the article
from which the suit resulted, he has
since found to be incorrect, and that
the article was published without NAL
ice. The suits have been withdrawn
and all is serene between the clever
editor and the aforesaid officials.

Long Working Hours.

From every section of the country
there are pouring in today appeals to
take up the long work hours aud low
wages of women, girls and children.
The revelations in the Chicago probe
have stirred the people to an extent
seldom reached. Some girls were found
to be working from twelve to fourteen
hours day at very low wages, of
course Lancaster has no such cases as
this, but there is hardly a community
in the nation where investigations are
not in progress, and it may well come
up as business before any club or or
ganization. no telling what you might
find, even here in Lancaster, if you
look for it.

though, will not dominate the admins
tration, President Wilson will be the
man behind the gun. Besides that, the
state department is under the immedi-
ate supervision of the President.
William G. McAdoo, Secretary of the
Treasury, is business man of wide
experience, and although associated
with Wall St. rather intimately, these
associations are above reproach. His
business training and associations,
should give him equipment for his work
in the treasury department.
Attorney General McReynolds, one
of the four Southerners in the cabinet,
will probably prove one of the strong
est members of President Wilson's poll
teal family. As aprosecutor of trusts,
he has given proof of his ability; the
ability of sound lawyer.
With record of fourteen years in
congress, and as member of the Com
mittee on Appropriations, Representive
Burleson of Texas, should be well post
ed on the inner workings of the Gov
eminent, and his appointment as Post
master General meets with approval.
Mr.. Garrison is lawyer of dIstinc-
ton, and has gained much judicial dis
tinction as Chancellor of New Jersey.
The post that he has been appointed to,
that of Secretary of War, is an irnpor-
tant one, and will give him ample
chance to show his administrative abil-
ity.
The appointment of Josephus Daniels
of North Carolina as Secretary of the
Navy, is by far the most popular ap-
pointment of all. No one has done
more for the party, and his appoint
ment comes as a reward for "a good
and faithful servant.
David Houston, of Missouri, as Sec
rotary of Agriculture, is the right man
in the right place. He was once far
mer and teacher of young men. To
teach men how to farm rightly is one OF
the duties of Secty. of Agriculture.
Mr.. Franklin Lane of California, as
Secty of Interior, should prove a strong
man. His views on the regulations of
railroads, expressed while member OF
the Interstate Commerce Commission
are entirely in sympathy with Mr.. Viii.
son.
William Redfeld, of New York, the
new Sect'y of Commerce, is, like Mr.
McAdoo, a man of business. His speech
es on the tariff during the campaigns
were considered the most valuable OF
any on this subject.
William B. Wilson of Pennsylvania,
the new secretary of the newly created
office, the Department of Labor, seem:
to have met with approval throughout
the party. How the new department
will act in regard to the Union Labor
question remains to be seen.
Both the administration and its ad
visors undertake their large task undel
extremely favorable auspices. Boil
the President and the cabinet have thu
good wishes of the people, irrespective
of partisanship.

Two Verdicts OF AcquittaI In Circuit
Court.

In the Garrard circuit court this week
two prisoners charged with murder re-
ceived acquittal verdicts at the hands
of juries. Moses Cottrell who on Feb.
ruary IL, 1912, at his home in this city
cut William H. Ward, as the result of
of which Ward died few weeks later,
had his trial on Wednesday, and after
but short elaboration the jury return
ed verdict of not guilty.
Percy Hager who was charged with
having shot and killed his brother, VIM
Hager was also found not guilty. The
latter tragedy took place near Bryants-
vile on Sept %, 1912 at the home of
the Hagers. There were no eye wit
nesses and the testimony was wholly
circumstantial.

Farming Between Times.

The farmer is utilizing every possible
moment to catch up with his spring
work. Last week when the ground
would freeze slightly during the night
so as to render it impossible to pillow in
the early morning, they would busy
themselves with other duties until the
middle of the forenoon, when they
would get busy and pillow until night,
and in this manner they would succeed
in getting considerable of the ground
broken.

that the President will adopt plan
which is calculated to materially
facilitate the hitherto tardy methods of
Congress. 1t is said that the President
will take a hand himself in framing
measures, not that he will actually
draft bills or assist in the drafting of
them, but that he will consult with the
leaders in regard to proposed legislation
and will lend the weight of the
administration to the proposed
measures. The rumor also has it that
he will include Progressive Republicans
in the proposed conferences, thus
assuring of measures by having them
agreed upon before they are offered for
passage,

Spring Is Upon Us.

Spring is rapidly approaching, and
We are carefully nourishing the promise
of the building of sidewalks. We sim
cerely hope that the City Council has
amicably arranged their family affairs,
which has taken up so much time here
of late, and are about ready to put
into effect the sidewalk ordinance.
There are many sidewalks which are
not only becoming impossible, but
dangerous and there are other pit
falls which beset the unwary pedes-
trian which need the attention of the
city dads. and which we hope will re-
ceive it in the near future.

Mail Route Again Changes Hands.

Mr.. w. A. Arnold has sold the U. s.
star route between this place and
Nicholasville to Mr.. Farley of Bryants-
vile, and the latter gentleman has
reverted to the old way of carrying it,
by carriage. The experience of those
who have made the attempt is that
another automobile line besides the
Titanic" to Nicholasville is not
profitable, and that it is much cheaper
to transport the mail by carriage
and horse.

Sunday afternoon and the passengers
miraculously escaped injury. The
train was a double header and both
engines left the track and also all the

have been caused by spreading rails.
Six of the train crew were injured but
none seriously. Traffic was delayed

The proposed bill will be to pledge

thousand dollars, the bill to be look
ed after by Mr. Stovall, and to ask
Congress through Mr.. Edwards to give
the additional $4,000 which will make
the required amount to further the
work, and preserve the old fort from
the encroachment of the tidal waters
