The Madisonian. (Richmond, Ky.) 1913-1914, 1914-01-27

On last Monday Hon. Meri-
wether Smith introduced the res
olution in the House regretting
the death of General Simon
Bolivar Buckner. The resolu-
tons were beautifully written.
Mr.. Smith has been chairman of
the Committee on Kentucky
Statutes, and is a member of the
committee on Criminal Law and
also on that of Charitable Insti-
tutiOnS.
The Madisonian. (Richmond, Ky.) 1913-1914, 1914-01-27

Now that Senator James has
named his choice for United
States Marshal at Covington, the
Eastern Kentucky district, his
next selection will be for United
States District Attorney and As
sistant District Attorney at that
place. While these are sometime
in the future, yet a great deal of
interest is being manifested. The
Marshalship having gone to the
Eleventh Congressional district,
the Attorneyship will probably go
to the Ninth. And it is believed
that ]. NJ. Slattery, of Maysville,
will most likely get the job.

The Rebuilding of Salem.
To the Editor of The Star:


The city of Salem. Mass. is not only in
need of immediate financial assistance
but is also in need of support and assist
ance in the difficult and important task
of so rebuilding the city that its dignity
and significance in American history shall
not be impaired.
The natural desire to recover the losses
sustained will be likely to create a de-
mand for the least expensive methods of
reconstruction and must be considered in
any plan.
Those who are interested in city plan
ming and in a suitable setting for the
monuments of American history may
very appropriately give the problem
which confrontS the people of Salem their
serious conSidera ton.
A committee of one hundred now has
the affairs of the sufferers from the fire
in charge and is acting as a general ad-
visory committee to the municipal admin
istration. 1t is proposed that commits
sion of five of the residents of Salem
shall be appointed to determine on plan
for rebuilding.
This plan is a subject of interest to all
Americans and the commission If ap-
pointed should have the benefit of the
suggested that, with due consideration
for the difficulties which are apparent.
and without interfering in any way
with the local management of the mat
ter those who have given attention TO
and have Information on subjects which
would he helpful in this work may con-
fer a general benefit by urging the peo-
Pile of Salem to attain the highest posi-
bic results in rebuilding and by assisting
them in getting the best possible results
