Why Not Our Grandmother?

A delegation of prominent
Richmond, Va, bankers arrived in
Lexington Friday to confer with
the Lexington Commercial Club
officials and local bankers for the
purpose of securing Endorsement
to locate one of the Regional
banks at Richmond, Va. Rich
mond is in competition with Bal
timore and Boston for the honor,
and does not desire to disparage
the chances of Louisville, but be-
lieves that the people of Kentucky,
always friendly to the mother
State, would rather see Rich
mond secure the proposed bank
than either of the other cities.

w. A. Langford

w. A. Langford, of Richmond,
Vice President of the Farmers
Tobacco Warehouse of that city,
was in Lexington yesterday on
business and incidentally took a
squirt at the local market to
see how it compared with the
Richmond market, as he express
ed it. Mr.. Langford, who thinks
that Madison county is the gar
den spot of the world and who
can blame him for this predilec-
ton since he owns one of the
finest farms there and married
one of the lovelist women in the
county? says that the loose leaf
tobacco of Richmond is blooming,
and that several days ago a small
consignment of loose leaf sold
there brought AZ cents per pound.
Mr.. Langford is of the opinion
that the crop of tobacco in Mad
ison and the adjoining county of
Garrard is about the best in the
State this season. Lexington

OIL AND LAW

Seriously Mr.. Mayor and the
Board of Councilmen, do you
really think that it will require
the law to enable you to oil the
streets at the cost of the city?
If you think so, now while the
Legislature is in session, is a good
time to get the law passed.
A very eminent lawyer of this
city, once Chief Justice of the
Kentucky Court of Appeals, to be
direct, certain and explicit, Judge
A. R. Burnam, agrees with us
that you don't need a Law on the
subject other than what you have
and that you are now clothed
with ample authority to oil the
streets from end to end at the
cost of the city.
You have all powers necessary
to preserve the health of the city
and oiling the streets unquestion
ably tends to promote the health
and comfort of the citizens.

MORE DEER

A 1000 tract is being laid off on
the southern side of Pine Noun
tain in Bell county for the use OF
twenty deer which will be sent
there soon from Wisconsin.
Kentucky once had plenty of
deer and it is good to see them
coming back again.
Kentucky is full of "dears''
whose condition socially, politi-
cally and commercially, would be
greatly improved if the Legisla-
ture would devote as much time
to their rights as they do to the
demands of a handful of hunters
and treasury robbers.

escape expulsion from that body
for the crime of intimating thai
Gen. Percival Haly has ever taken
an active part in the creation OF
Legislators or that Mr.. Samuel
Shackelford has ever been an in
terested observer of the progress
of legislation-and on one condi-
ton only. He must make abject
and public profession of his peni-
tence for having offended against
the dignity of the House, which
is the honor Of the Common
wealth.
Boiled down, that is the net
result of the attack of Mysteries
to which Kentucky's House of
Representatives devoted the
whole of Tuesdays session and
for which its members are to re-
ceive $40 each from the treasury
of a State already suffering from
financial embarrassment.
That the wording of Mr.. Prices
resolution, which gave to the
Lieutenant Governor and took
from the Speaker of the House
the power to name the respective
members of the proposed COM
mittee TO inquire into the relation
whether umbilical or mythical
that Gen. Haly and Mr.. Shack
elford are intimated to sustain
and to have sustained to the
General Assembly, was a ref1ec-
ton, whether intentional or blum
dering, on the speaker that he
was fully justified in resenting,
is not to be questioned. But to
read into the resolution any re-
Election on the membership of
the House as a whole which was
at the same time, not equally a
reflection on Mr.. Price himself,
is clearly misinterpretation of
its wording. The Speaker, who
has we'll earned his reputation as
an honest and impartial presid-
ing officer, may well be pardoned
his display of rightful resent
ment. The emotionalism of the
other members of the house may
be explicable on the ground that
many of them are young.
But, now that another twenty
four hours have passed, it is to be
hoped, both for the future dignity
of the House and the real good
of the Commonwealth, that its
members will realize that all
was achieved by Tuesdays vaud-
eville was to establish the fact
that a member of the House
must apologize or be expelled
for saying that two prominent
actors, if not factors, in the po-
litical and legislative life of the
State are interested as to the
makeup and output of the General
Assembly, soft impeachment
which up to the present hour,
neither has ever taken the trou-
BILE to deny.

TUESDAY, FEB. 3, 1914.
A NEW CONSTITUTION

Although the state OF ken-
lucky is head over heels in debt,
and although it has a constitution
which is only % years old, the
present Legislature is seriously
contemplating calling a new con-
Stitutional convention. Thi S,
too, in view of the fact that the
Legislature has not yet complied
with all the mandatory conditions
of the present constitution and
has steadfastly refused to COM
ply with them.
The making of the present
constitution cost the State of
Kentucky probably a million dol
lars. 1t has cost the people of
Kentucky many millions in con-
STRUNG it. Questions are still
arising under the constitution and
will continue to arise for years
yet to come. And yet our solons
at Frankfort seem inclined to
force upon the state another con-
ventiOn which will necessarily en-
tail an out lay in good money of
the commonwealth, probably an
other million dollars, and disturb
business until the provisions of
a new constitution can be con-
Strued at great cost.
Surely the people of Kentucky
will not submit to such an out
rage. The best amendment that
could be made to the constitution
would be to amend that provi-
sion of the same which allows
the Legislature to meet every
two years. If submitted to a
vote of the people we believe
that a provision prohibiting the
Legislature from meeting in less
than ten years, unless in case of
emergency, would be welcomed
by the people and carry by almost
unanimous vote. The fact about
it is, the country is continually
upset, annoyed and harassSed by
laws that are made by politicians
and lobbyists which are made,
not with a view of improving, the
conditions of the state, but which
are made in many instances for
the express purpose of creating
disturbances.
Every new law made must be
construed with reference to the
existing conditions and the fund
amental law, which is the consti-
tuition. 1t brings about litigation
and entails a heavy burden, not
only on the litigdnt but on the
state as well.
We have heretofore expressed
the idea that Kencucky is suffer
ing from too much law. AS was
well said by the Governor of Kan
saS, 'Law making should stop
and let the people catch up with
the laws on the books" Condi.
tons, both social and CONNER.
cial, must be adjusted to the law.
Our Legislature keeps in advance
of the people and keeps up a
constant disturbance.
If the present Legislature will
pass an act giving the people
the right to amend the present
constitution so as to prevent
another meeting of the Legisla
ture for at least ten years, it will
carry in the State of Kentucky
by a 80 per cent vote.

Historic Efforts To "Clean
Up"

In the reign of Richard II
(1388) an act was passed for the
punishment of those who cause
corruption near city or great
town to corrupt the air." A cen
fury later in the time of Henry
VII, an act was passed to pre-
vent butchers killing beasts in
walled towns the preamble to this
Act declaring that no noble town
in ChriStendom should contain
slaughter houses lest sickness be
thus engendered. In Charles IFS
time, after the great fire of Lon
don, the law provided for the bet
ter paving and cleansing of the
streets and sewers. 1t was how
ever in Italy, May Is, 1905, that
the modern movement of organi-
cation began. In the thirteenth
century the great Italian cities
like Florence and Pistoja pos
Sessed sanitary codes; but they
were not carried out, and when
the Black Death reached Flor
ence in l348, it found the city
altogether unprepared. 1t was
Venice which in the same year,
first initiated vigorous state SAN
itation. Distinction was first or
dained by Clan Nisconti, in Mi
Ian, in 1899. The first quaren-
tine station of which we hear
was established in Venice in 1903.

tons under which the English
laboring classes lived. The
times were ripe for this Report.
1t attracted public attention,
an important influence. It's ap-
pearance marks the first stage of
social reform, which was mainly
"a sanitary effort to clear away
the gross filth from our cities, to
look after the cleansing, lighting
and policing of the streets, to
create drainage system, to inn
prove dwellings, and in these
ways to combat disease and to
lower the very high death-rate. ;"

Nothing marks the develop
ment of an individual as clearly
as his attitude toward unsanitary
conditions, his indifference to-
ward them, or his indignation be-
cause of them. Dirt, disease,
degradation and death, are the
big four of all ages, the quartette
whose music is all misery. Clean
illness is not only next to godli-
ness, it is the guarantee of health,
of long life, and of everything
that makes life enjoyable. : The
great plaques of antiquity and
of modern times had their roots
in dirt. Cleanliness marks the
passage of the man from the
ranks of the unwashed, the I'M
shorn, the uncombed, the uncouth,
the unsightly, the unconcerned,
the unSavory, and the undesirable,
to the ranks of those who believe
in clean homes, clean streets,
clean stores, clean persons, clean
lives. Among the civilizers of
the present day must be classed
pure water, used externally and
externally, scrubbing brushes, tooth
brushes, nail brushes, fles h
brushes, soap of many varieties
and in large quantities, bath tubs,
vacuum cleaners, brooms, mops,
busters, rubber or leather hose,
(silk not allowed) horses and
carts, men at the end of a shovel,
garbage cans with tight fitting
covers, dumping grounds, fal
from the maddening crowds, ig-
noble strife, and health officers
who have eyes to see, ears to
hear, noses to smell, and a con
science that will not allow them
to take the peoples money unless
they are willing to stay on the
job all the time. E. B. B.

Every year West Virginia spends
thousands and thousands Of dollars for
commercial fertilizers with which to
improve her lands and increase her
crop yields. II carefully purchased and
skillfully applied these fertilizers are
a good investment Every year, how
ever, the farmers of West Virginia are
losing thousands and thousands of dol
lars worth Of valuable plant foods
through the careless handling of one
OF the most important by-produets OF
the farm, viz, barnyard manure.
Many farmers are only beginning to
realize the value of this material as
a carrier of plant food, and to realize
the extent to which it may be injured
by exposure to the weather. Approx
mately 80 per cent of the plant food
removed from the soil by a growing
crop may be returned to the soil if the
crops are fed to stock and, the animal
manures properly preserved and ap-
piled to the field.
1t Is a common practice on most
farms to allow these manures to stand
in heaps, out in the open weather, ex-
posed to every rain that falls, for Pc
RODS varying from three to six
months. Under these conditions the
following distinct losses must inev-
itably result:

l. Nearly all the liquid-manure will
drain or leach out and, if the manure
heap stands on sloping ground, is GER

proximately one-half of the nitrogen

school convention for this year
was held in Kit Carson June 9th,
in the new and tasty NJ. E..
church. Two of our prominent
State Sunday school workers
We're present and delivered ex-
cellent addresses and assisted in
the work of the association.
The association took action to
have their next meeting in Oct.
1915. instead of June, and that
the newly elected officers should
hold over until that time. Rev.
D. M. Scott, of Cheyenne Wells
was elected president also one of
the directors. The reports from
the various Sunday schools indi-
cate good work. The citizens of
Kit Carson and vicinity royally
entertained the conventioners
and provided a sumptuous basket
dinner for all at the church.
May the good work go on.
