CALL THE BLUFF

The threat of the insurance
companies to Withdraw from the
State of Kentucky, and the bluff
which they are trying to run on
the state government, should be
promptly called by the LegiSla-
ture.
The companies take from the
State annually from ten to twelve
million dollars in excess of what
the citizens get back, The State
of Kentucky can carry its own in
surance, reduce the rates very
materially and wipe out every dol
lar of taxation, and run the State
on the premiums paid by those
who desire to carry insurance.
So far as we are concerned we
say let them so. They are syco-
plants, sucking the life blood of
the State, and putting a great
burden on our people.
Next week we will write fully
about this matter.

Splendid Sermon by DR.. E.
B. Barnes

THE Inside of the Cup as had
been previously announced, was
the subject of magnificent SER
mon by DR.. E. B. Barnes on Sun
day night. He read from the
23rd chapter of Matthew: Woe
unto you scribes and Pharisees,
hypocrites, for ye make clean the
outside of the cup and the plat
ter, but within they are full of ex-
tortion and excess" and again:
"ye fools and blind; for whether
is greater, the gold, or the temple
that sanctifeth the gold" From
this text the speaker made a
powerful plea for purity of heart
and fearlessness in the pulpit,
and denounced in scathing terms
greed, hypocrisy, and commercial
ism. The discourse throughout
abonnded with beautiful thought,
and is receiving much compli-
mentary mention by those who
heard it.

a success and one of the most
delightful held during the year.

part. Mrs. John Arnold read a

recited prettily a missionary selec-
ton. Miss Jamie Caperton sang
beautifully THAT Sweet Story of
Old" Mrs. Emmett Millions
subject was "The Making of a
Child's Missionary Society,"" and
she made it most interesting.
Mrs. |. G. Ballard contributed a
vocal solo which was greatly en-
joyed.
One of the finest things on the
programme was the paper given
by Mrs. Wren Grinstead on the
Relation of the Auxiliary to the
Mission Band" Mrs. E. B. Barnes
then lead in prayer, after which
Mrs. J. w. Caperton made a most
delightful impromptu speech on
"The History of the Mission
Band" Mrs. N. B. Deatherage
offered the benediction and this
was followed by a pleasant social
session when frozen pudding and
cake were served.
For the pretty decorations in
the room, credit is due Mrs. John
r. Pates and Mrs. ]. w. Earring.

Recital at Madison Institute

The recital given on Thursday
evening by the music students of
Madison Institute, under the di-
rection of Miss Alley, reflected
much credit on the latter. The
choruses and instrumental num-
bers were beautiful. Unfortunate
ly the inclement evening kept
many away who would have been
present.
Not only was the programme
good, but the tastefully decorated
stage lent an added charm to the
evening. We congratulate Miss
Alley and hope, for more favor

roads could make this reduction
and still make a reasonable profit
on their passenger traffic. 1t is
gratifying to know that the LIN.
has voluntarily reduced its rates
from three to two and one-half
cents, thus clearly showing that
we were right in our contention.
OF course this. reduction is made
for the purpose of fore-stalling
the Legislature, and with a view

TUESDAY, MAR. 10, 1914.
SPECIAL JUDGE LAW

1t is imperative that the pres
ent Legislature make some proper
provisions in reference to Special
Judges. The present law is a farce
and in support of this statement
we might cite the Estill Circuit
Court as an example. The dock
ct is far behind and important lit
igation, both civil and criminal,
which demands immediate atten-
ton, is left untried for the reason
that a special judge cannot be OBJ
tanned. The regular judge was
counsel in many cases and can
not preside in others by reason Of
kin and interest.
The same condition exists in
many other counties of the 23rd
District and throughout the State.
The remedy is by passing law
allowing the bar to elect judge
to preside and try out this impor-
tant litigation. If a regular judge
cannot be obtained because the
judges are engaged in their own
courts or if one cannot be obtain
ed because they get their salaries
anyway, and put up any excuse to
justify their failure and refusal to
come and discharge their duties,
then either of these reasons is
sufficient to justify the repeal of
the present law.
The Governor of Kentucky is
very greatly embarrassed in his
total inability to obtain the SER
vices of a regular judge to act as
special judge, and a statement
from him would throw a flood of
light on the situation to the sol
onS at Frankfort.
Why should the State pay ST.
200 each to thirty-four circuit
judges when they perform prac-
tically no duties therefor? Why
does the State want to waste this
money? Why should S4O,8OO.OO
be dumped into a sink hole? Bear
in mind also that this money is
worse than thrown away, because
under the present law, the bar
cannot elect a special judge to
carry on the business of the court.
If the Legislature will not repeal
this infamous law, then by all
means, allow it to be amended so
that the bar can elect a judge and
let the business of the courts go
on in its regular order.
Having seen and fully observed
the workings OF this Ubiquitous
law, which was passed merely as
a makeShift to circumvent the
constitution, having seen the bus
mess of the courts paralyzed and
the State run to enormous eXpen-
ses for witness claims and jury
fees, brought about by a failure to
try cases when the parties were
ready and anxious for trial, but
could not obtain one, because no
regular judge could be obtained,
we unhesitatingly pronounce the
law as a vicious one, and one that
ought to be repealed.
Will the Legislature fail to re-
lieve the State? Will it allow the
present law to remain on the
books, a handicap to the CONNER
cial interests of the State and d
hindrance to its development?
