They Need Help

Travelling men of Kentucky
will make a fight before the ses-
sion of the General Assembly,
which convened last Tuesday
for hotel inspection bill, requir-
ing hotels to observe rules re-
garding the comfort and health
of their guests, as to change OF
bed clothing, length of sheets,
condition of towels, etc. This
law is most urgently demanded
by the travelling men, who make
these smaller towns, where com.
petition does not automatically
bring about reforms for the ben
eft of guests. Representatives
of the travelling men are there
urging members of the Legisla,
ture to vote for their bill.

Morally irresponsible

Officer SAINT P. Bush went to
Winchester last Wednesday morn
ing and took charge of Tom
Campbell, accused of stealing
chickens from Lee Gott, of this
city. Campbell was recently pa
rolled from the Eddyville peniten-
tiary, where he was serving a
term for similar offense. Camp
bell Grated the chickens and adj
dressed them to Belle Shearer at
Winchester, but the chickens
were not sent. Instead, the city
officers got the man, but he got
away and went to Winchester,
where he was arrested by Patrol
man Strobe. Campbell said he
didn't think it was any harm to
take chickens.

A Whole Lot of Surprise

The following item printed in
the Climax, our esteemed contem-
porary, no doubt caused greater
surprise to the happy couple than
it did to their numerous friends:
Mr. Hubert Brandenburg and Miss Eva
Lewis, of this county, surprised their
friends by going to Lexington on Monday,
Dec. 20, where they were united in mar
riaee at the Phoenix Hotel. The groom is
a son of Mr. Louis Brandenburg, well
known cattle dealer of this county, and is
a splendid young man. The bride is a
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. w. c. Lewis,
and is most charming and accomplished
young lady. She is a Junior at Eastern
Normal, this city, where she will remain
until the close of the present term, when
she will join her husband in Cincinnati
where he is connected with ]. F. Saddler
& Co., at the Union Stock Yards The
hearty good wishes of host of friends is
extended to the happy young couple.
The parties say that the item
is entirely erroneous, and that no
marriage has taken place, and
we are requested by them to
make the announcement that no
marriage occurred.

Big Suit

A suit has been begun in Lou
isville between the firm of

G. R. Burton. J..W. McGinn and
M. H. Noise, who purchased the
interests of John H. and Isaac
Stark in the firm of Crutcher and
Stark in 1911, to prevent the Stark
brothers from using the name of
Starks Clothing Co. The Stark
brothers when they sold to the
plaintiff company agreed not to
engage in the clothing business
in the city of Louisville for ten
years. The petition alleges a vi
olation of this contract, and seeks
an injunction against them.
The ]. w McGinn named in
the suit, is a brother of Mrs. G.

MORE CAUTION NEEDED

Dynamiting seems to have be-
come a fad along the lines of
railway being constructed. Some
days ago at Irvine two small dyna-
mite cartridges were fired in the
courthouse hall, but did only
slight damages.
This should serve to call the
attention of the Legislature to
the fact that there must be great
er precaution taken in the hand,
ling of this destructive explosive
compound, so as to keep it from
the hands of irresponsible parties.

Keep 1t Up

Last winter noon lunches were
prepared and served by several OF
the good women of Richmond,
for some forty needy school chill
dren. This work was carried on
for more than three months by
means of contributions solicited
from day to day, at the sacrifice
of much time by those who had
the work in charge.
We are confident that many
people will want to contribute
again this winter. However, no
personal solicitation will be
made. The newspapers of Rich
mond will accept voluntary con-
tributions and publish from week
to week the names of contribu-
tors and the amount given.
These funds will be turned over
to committee from the Wom-
ans Club which will have charge
of all receipts and expenditures.
There are, this winter, about
the same number of needy chill
dren. By furnishing lunches to
them we can double the atten-
dance among them as was done
last year, class work will be
greatly improved and real suffer
ing relieved.
Very respectfully,
D. w. Bridges.

Municipal Celebration For
the Relief of the Poor

The following is taken from a
a lengthy article in sThe Ashville
Citizen" in speaking of the mag
nifcent Municipal Celebration
held in that city on December 30
and will be of interest to the
many friends of Miss Williamson
who made her home in this city:
$50 successful was the first
municipal celebration, in spite of
the necessity of a postponement
that there is already a movement
under way to make the event an
annual one.
The movement for such a ceIe-
bration was made successful
through the efforts of Mayor ]. E.
Rankin, Miss Louisa Gay Will
hanson, assistant city clerk, and
contributions from the aldermanic
board. The members of the ex-
ecutive committee and the vari-
GUS subcommittee have done
excellent work and have been I'M
firing in their efforts to make the
event a success. That their la
bors have been richly rewarded
was evidenced by the manner in
which last nights celebration
passed off. Mayor Rankin gives
great credit for the success of the
event to Miss Williamson, who
has given freely of her time and
efforts toward the municipal Gel
ebration. Miss Williamson has
made many suggestions which
have proven timely and has Civ
en- the committeeman the benefit
of her knowledge gained from a
thorough study of the methods
employed in other cities in ar
ranging for similar events"

Another Boom Sprouting

A few years ago there was a
great interest aroused in Estill
county in the oil industry, and
many wells were sunk in various
parts of the county, at which
time there was pumping sta
ton located about two miles east
Of Irvine. The oil fever has hit
the place again, and Mr.. c. K.
Dulin of Green Castle, Ind, has
leased large quantity of land
from Maple and Williams, and
will begin the sinking of wells at
an early date.

TUESDAY, JAN. Is, 1914.
THE NEW CURRENCY BILL


Congress has passed and the
President has signed currency
bill which has for its purpose
the breaking up of the alleged
money trust, and it is to be de-
voutly hoped that it will accom-
plish its purpose.
We have always believed and
still believe that instead of break
ing up an alleged money trust,
that it will actually create one of
the largest political money trusts
that was ever known. The gov
eminent takes hold of the region
al banks and directs and superin-
tends it in a large measure, and
it will be but repetition of all
the other branches of government
and in a few years the regional
banks will be a part of compre-
hensive political system.
The men who own money will
control it. Wall Street owns mon
ey and its affairs are dictated by
handful of bankers. These men
will not give up their prestige
and they will continue to con troll
their money, unless they are Civ
en- the larger part of the control
of the new banking system, and
thus they will become a part of
the political machinery of govern
ment. We cannot see where
anything has been accomplished
by the bill.
1t is true that the designation
of regional banks in a specified
district, of which districts there
shall not be less than eight nor
more than twelve, will to a GER
tain extent, move the center of
exchange to those points, and it
may by distributing to a certain
extent the source of supply, en-
able the country banks to obtain
needed money more readily.
There is one feature of the cur
rency reform which we heartily
approve and always have approx
ed it, and that is the provision,
to establish a system of rural
credits which will enable the
small farmer and the small coun-
try banks to secure money more
easily. Unless the bill accom-
pliSheS this purpose, then it is a
mere piece of useless work.
From personal observation OF
the workings of small country
banks, we are of the opinion that
there is no just cause of COM
plant, and that these institutions
not only supply the local de-
mands, but are exceedingly glad
to do so. An inspection of the
amount of idle money on hand in
all the local banks of this. county
will indicate that the farmers OF
Madison county are in a most
prosperous and happy condition,
and that they are not extensive
borrowers, because money held
in these banking institutions
comes largely from the small
farmer and business man. Other
counties are not so blessed with
safe, accommodating banks like
Madison, and in such districts
the new currency reform measure
may give needed relief.
1t is a familiar aphorism thai
whatever helps the farmer help.
the people in general, and the
energies of legislative bodies O.
all the states as well as of Con
greSs, should be directed to thu
end that money be made more
plentiful for the use of the small
farmer, by measures that are con
sistent with prudent and SAFE
banking. But it must be borne
