istration, statement of the present
Indebtedness OF Hartford. II is a
bad showing, and one which We hes
itate somewhat to give to the pub
lie. We do not know who is to blame
for this condition of affairs, neither
do we know how IL is TO be remed-
ed. IL seems to us that almost all OF
the expenses of the city will have to
be suspended in order TO meet the
interest on our bonded indebtedness
and to pay any part of the floating
debt. Taxes are as high as can be
levied in city of this class. For
the past four years, practically no
street work has been done, and the
street crossirss have been allowed
to go unrepaired, until many of them
are absolutely impossible. The new
administration certainly has a stupen-
dous problem before 1t and should
have the united support of our people

which stand out so prominently in

THE FRANKFORT LOBBY.

Now that the Kentucky Legislature
is in session at Frankfort, the same
old talk is beginning to appear con-
corning the Third House" which as
known in Kentucky, is nothing mere
nor less than an organized paid cbby.
Heretofore this lobby Las Loon able
to make and unEla..c l..,islation OF
the greatest i'm .jCTtance to Kentucky.
II dc. eatd he proposition to make
the Sat- Boards non-partisan. For
many years it defeated the county
unit local option law. Now it seems
to be getting in its work against
a uniform school book law.
In behalf OF the American Book
Company, the Kentucky legislature
has chenged the law, regulating
school text books SO many times that
parents find 1t necessary to buy text
books for their children every year,
and some times twice during the
same term. This is an outrage, and
a cost placed uon the people of Ken
lucky not borne in any other state
in the Union.
The Democratic party is in supreme
control at Frankfort. Only a mere
handful OF Republicans are members
of the legislature in both houses. 1t
is the duty of this party. OF pre-
tended reform, to clean out this
lobby, and give the people of Ken
lucky a uniform school book law,
which will not be changed every full
moon.
The truth is, following the lead
of more progressive states Kentucky
should arrange system OF free text
books for her school. pupils. We have
a compulsory school law. How can
this he inforced without furnishing
at least indisent children with the
necessary school books? Abolish some
of the needless offices; repeal the
Confederate pension law; buy books
for the school children of the State
and get the State Treasury in posi-
ton for an appropriation to each
county to assist iii building public
roads.

How to Love People.

Its SO hard to love people," sigh
ed a conscientious little woman the
other day, after an involuntary out
burst over the un.ovableness of
Cousin Jane.
But why" said the Wise Wo-
man, in return, why try to love
people? Be content to love qualities!
It's very good plan! Then strong
in the realization Of your deep. warm
and reverent love for purity. you
willy find that you are loving the
weary. sharp-tongued little scam
stress whose quick temper has Oft
en- irritated you. but whose mind
is white and innocent and sweet to
mediate upon; that you are loving
the chi,d-heat. the mother-tender-
ness, the father-strength and protec-
tion whever they manifest in the
world.
Learn to love courase, and you find
yourself loving the grimy miner de-
scending into the earth TO save an
imprisoned comrades life at the
risk of his own; the struggling wife
and mother, who. racked with pain
and fresh from an operating table,
scrubs floors with one knee on a
stool Ito keep from tearing the
stitches open"
Love 10. sity, and YOU love the
criminal who refuses to turn states
evidence and save his neck at the
cost OF his partners life.
II is hard to love all of people, but
it Is very easy to love some part OF
each. and If we will practice lovins
qualities instead of persons, our prob
lem win be soNed.-Editoria in
McCall's Magazine.

In his MESSAGE to the legislature,
Governor McCreary admits the enor-
nous growing indebtedness of Ken
lucky, but attempts to excuse it on
the grounds that some other states
are more heavily indebted, and then
rings in the I'D joke that most of
this debt was created under Re-
publican administrator, anyway. Gov.
McCreary is too old not to know
that no Republican administration of
Kentucky has ever had an opportun-
ity to increase the State debt. Three
times Republicans have elected the
state officers, but they have never
at any time been in control of the
legislature. One time they had a
smaA majority in the house of Rep
resentatives, but at that time the
Democrats had safe lead in the
Senate, and were enabled to pre-
vent any appropriation or the enact
ment of any laws which the Repub-
licans might pass through the House.
Any school boy in Kentucky knows
that the legislature is the only pow
err which can create State indebted
me- or provide for any State indebt-
edness and it is the extravaganza
of the Democratic legislature by the
creation of many needless offices,
raising salaries and the adoption Cf
the Confederate pension Jaw, which
is bringing this enormous debt upon
the tax payers of the State.

Has a Cure Really Been Found!


Has a cure for cancer really been
found? DIR. Rucker seems to think 1t
has, while DIR. Jacob both men OF
medical eminence. Is doubtful. The
profession is divided in expressing
its opinion Government tests are be-
ing made and II these tests prove
successful, suffering humanity is en-
tilted TO feel hopeful.
When DR.. Friedman came to this
country with his serum for 1.-THE cure
of tuberculosis many were inclined
to think that at last he might have
solved the secret. friedman is now
discredited and his cure o.assed with
other failures OF the past. No one Is
willing to admit that DIR. Friedmann
was a char,atan, but that he was
honestly mistaken. He. no doubt,
felt confident that he had discover
ed a remedy. and when II was shown
to be failure he was probably more
disappointed than anyone else.

Beet Sugar Facts.

The threatened exodus of beet susai
cheaper labor and land costs, and the
Free-Trade Underwood bill, becomes
a question of serious importance to the
farmers of the West, in view of a
report on the beet sugar industry is
sued by the Department of Commerce
The figures relate to conditions in
1909 and 1t can safely he estimated
that the industry has grown almost
a third larger since then.
The Census Bureau report says
that 415,964 acres were planted to
beots for factory use in 1909. The
fifty-eight factories in the industry
produced sol ,6S2 tnos of SUGAR valu-
ed at $45,S37 ,629. The tota! expenses
in the beet sugar industry in 1909
were S37 ,353,O66. OF this sum
$4,S0S.446 was paid in wages and
s27, 265,l70 went for cost of materials.
The removal of even a fraction OF
this industry to Canada is an iniquity
Mainly the Underwood bin is respon-
sible: Even the minor Inducements
for the change are tempting-Cooie
t.bor, low taxes and rich soil. But
it was the fact of free entry into the
United States for their product that
won over the companies. Few Of
the concerns that might remain in
the United States could stand the
competition of beet sugar made under
such conditions. The farmers will lose
a big slice of the 100000 paid to
them for beets in oneyear,an AM
erican labor stands to lose more
tan four million dollars earned in
1909 because the industry has been
steadily growing since then. The
Tariff blows are coming thick and
fast for all the farmers and for the
American workingman. 1t takes long
er for manufacturing itcrests TO feel
the effects.
