The Titanic May Cross In Safety.

The Jessamine Journal has the fol-
lowing to say in regard to the damage
to the bridge over Kentucky river by
the recent high water, which indicates
that the Titanic" as well as all small
err craft may cross in safety.
1.-The recent high water has damaged
the stone wall at Hickman bridge over
the Kentucky River at Curley's dis
tillery and the loss to the county is es-
timated at $1,000. The abutments are
unhurt and the bridge is perfectly safe,
but fifty feet of the wall below the
bridge on the Jessamine side has been
swept away. A big tree said to be
more than 100 years old, was swept out
with the wall and is now standing up
right in midstream. The bridge is pos
siblv the oldest bridge in the State, as
it was erected in 1853"

McRoberts Store Robbed.

On last Saturday night someone
effected entrance irto the drug store of
McRoberts drug store by way of back
window and rified the cash drawer of
its contents. about $1O., took some
alcohol and departed by another rear
entrance. On Sunday Mr.. McRoberts
called in Chief Heron who after examin-
ing the premises came to the conclusion
that the work was done by some one
who was well acquainted with the
premises, and he at once went to work
upon that theory. He questioned
Ernest LeaveH, who with small amount
of sweating" acknowledged that he
was the culprit, and that he lost his ill
gotten means in crap game on the
chute. He was arrested and placed in
Jail, and will doubtless get a trip to
Frankfort at the coming term of circuit
court. Leavell is a colored boy who
had been employed by Mr.. McRoberts
as porter about the store.

The resolution passed by both houses
of Congress to so change the Federal
Constitution as to permit the election
of United State senators by direct vote
of the people has been adopted by a
sufficient number of states to make
the proposed amendment part of our
constitution. This has been a long
struggle between the representatives
of the people and the representatives
of organized wealth, and is indeed a
victory for popular government. Our
senators in the future will be elected
by direct vote, instead of the various
state legislatures. Hon. w. J. Bryan,
leader of democracy for the last six
teen years has been the formost cham
pion of this reform and it is largely
through his influence and advocacy that
it has been successful. The Senate of
the United States for many years has
BEEN the representative of aristocracy
and wealth of the nation. Many sena-
tors have purchased their seats from
the state legislatures.
For this reason, representative
government in this form has been un-
satisfactory. The discoveries in the
Lorimer investigation and the dealings
of Joe Bailey of Texas while in the
Senate with the Standard Oil caused
such revulsion of feeling with the
people that the reform could not longer
be denied. All lovers of popular
government can justly rejoice in the
| adoption of this reform.

Gus, homicides that have been commit
ed in this community. Were we per-
mitted to estimate we would say that
fully two thirds would never have been
but for the ready pistol concealed in
the pocket, handy for its work of death.
All right thinking people would stop
this unnecessary taking of human life
for every frivolous cause or imaginary
grievance. If severe prosecutions and
even convictions in the courts would
prevent it, Garrard county should be
most free. Now, there is probably
more than one, may be, many causes,
that infiict upon our community this
frequent killing of men.
However, we do know that this popu-
lar habit of carrying pistols is the one
chief of all. A pistol is made for the
purpose of killing. 1t is an instrument
of death. When a person conceals
upon his person pistol and carries it
about with him he can have no other
idea than he will probably have an oc-
casion to kill some one. Such a person
deliberately violates the Jaw that makes
it an offense to carry deadly weapon
concealed upon the person. He is a
murderer in his heart when he takes
the pistol. If he is not a coward when
he begins this criminal conduct he soon
becomes one. He is a common menace
to the life of his community.
Pistol carrying in violation of law
should be stopped at all cost. The
next legislature should consider an
amendment to the present law, that
would if possible stop the habit. When
the pistol fiend kills his victim his ready
excuse in court of self defense fire.
quentlY enables him to deceive the I'M
thinking and lenient jury and he comes
forth hero to the criminal minded.
Would it be too severe to have a law
enacted that would deprive any person
who produces concealed deadly wea-
pom in an ARRAY the right to rely upon
the plea of self defense, when placed
upon trial in a court without regard to
the merits of the trouble? Should a
pistol carrier shoot or kill a person
under such circumstances, a term in the
penitentiary would be the least punish
ment that he could expect. however
justified he should be. We would ap-
prove such law and believe it would
tend to make pistol carrying less popu-
lar.

The Interior Journal says that in one
county in Kentucky there are sixteen
candidates for jailer. Picking in that
office will be good. A previous Legis-
lature raised the fees of the jailer from
fifty to seventy five cents per day for
feeding the county and state prisoners.
The next jailer will have an advantage
of twenty five cents per day over the
present incumbent. 1t was only a few
years ago that the legislature favored
the jailers with free coal, lights and
free servants to look after the Jail. 1t
is indeed good thing that those six
teen clever fellows are after, and the
jailers office promises to be a rival in
popularity to the sheriffs in most coun-
ties.

Judge Chas. A. Hardin Opens April Term
Of Boyle Circuit Court With
Impressive Charge To Grand

The April term of the Boyle circuit
court opened last Monday with Judge
Chas. A. Hardin presiding. His charge
to the grand jury was along the same
line with all of his charges given since
he has occupied the bench, but in more
amplified form, and fully demonstrated
the fact that the judge has been delving
deeply into the annals of crime, and has
statistics to show the truth of his
statement as to the cause, cost and
prevention of crime in the common
wealth.
He cited statistics which showed that
1T cost every man woman and child IN

criminals, and also points out the remedy
for this terrible draft upon the recources
of the county because of the number of
evil doors within it's colfnes.
Judge James M. Benton made it
possible to break up the reign of
lawlessness in Breathltt county,, and
for which he is receiving much justly &c
served credit; this could not have been
possible had he not had the support and
cooperation of the citizens of the county
and of the commonwealth. There is
not probably county in the 18th judicial
district where there is one tenth as
much lawlessness as there is in i'll starr
ed Breathitt, and yet there is too much
crime prevalent here. Judge Hardin is
no less determined man than Judge
Benton, he has the correct idea as to
the proper means to adopt for the
diminution of crime, and he has the
nerve to set the wheels of justice to
moving to this end, all he needs is the
hearty cooperation of the citizens of
the district. without fear or favor, and
he will rid the district of crime as
as did Judge Benton and
Judge Allie Young rid Breathitt of its
iawlessness.

Garrard County School Fund Not To Pre-
fit From Revenue Derived From
Dog Tax.

AS the amount collected from the dog
tax in this county did not pay the sheen
claims filed, the county school fund will
not benefit from the said dog tax. The
law provides that any surplus arising
from the dog tax in excess of the sheep
claims shall go to the school fund.
After paying all claims for sheep kill
ed by dogs, the Auditors department
will pay into the school from the 1912
dog tax S45, 7O5.15 only half the amount
turned over last year. The sheep claims
from each county are paid out of the
dog tax collected in that county, and
the balance, if any, goes to the school
fund of the county from which the
money originated. Thirty-two eoun-
ties will receive no money from this
fund for their schools the sheep claims
having more than used up the entire
dog tax collections.
There were no sheep claims in five
counties: Edmonson, Greenup, Nc
Creary, Perry and Wolfe. Martin coun-
ty had the smallest claim, So. so. and
Madison county the highest, claims for
sheep killed by dogs in that county
amounting to 81, O75. 90 with not enough
money to pay them. Pike county schools
will receive the largest amount of any
from the dog tax, 81 228 20.
Those counties which will receive no
balance from the dog tax are: Bath,
Bourbon, Boyle, Carlisle, Carroll, Clark,
Fayette, Fleming, Franklin, Fulton,
Gallatin, Garrard, Grant, Greene, Har-
rison, Henry, Hickman. Jessamine,

therefore, under the law, unfrankable.
