Rates For Political Announcements

1t should not be, nor do we believe it
is, necessary to again call the attention
of the citizens of Lancaster to the ne
cessity of an annual cleaning up of
their premises and the city; the splen-
did health of the community which has
rewarded their efforts along these lines
in the past should, and doubtless will,
prove sufficient incentive, without re-
minders from US. But ''eternal vigi-
lance is the price of liberty applicable
to health as well as action, and we
deem it not amiss to briefly remark up
on the annual necessity. In the
"Womans Club department of the
Record last week, requests We're made
by these worthy ladies', which if COM
piled with, will rebound to both the
health and beauty of Lancaster.
To these requests we wish to add one,
that the people of the town look well
to their premises before the coming of
the heated season, see that the winters
accumulation of refuse is carted away
and disposed, either burned, or so dis
posed of that the Objectionable matter
therein contained will not prove a men,
ace to the health of the community; !;
that they whitewash and place their
premises in thoroughly sanitary con-
dition, thereby materially aiding in
keeping the health of the city up to
the high standard which has been main
tained through their cooperation in the
past.
There are several miles of new con-
crete walks within the city, and bor-
dering upon these walks are many
beautiful lawns, Lancaster has splendid
possibilities of having the most beauti-
full lawns in Central Kentucky, provid-
ed they can be protected from the raw
ages of the town cow. This protec-
tion surely should, and we believe will
be, afforded US. We have a newly
erected stray pen, built for the espec-
ial purpose of impounding stock which
is permitted to roam at large, to the
imminent danger of these lawns, and
We hope that the STRAY pen law" will
be rigidly enforced. If your premises
are threatened from the inroads of
stray horses, cows or hogs, we suggest
that you call up Chief Heron, who
will doubtless look after such intruders
in such manner as will preclude the
possibility Of you being bothered a
second time by this same stock.
As for the dogs, this is indeed knot
ty problem. Lancaster is infested
with painful surplus of undesirable
and worthless CANNES, and they roam
at their own sweet will to the annoy
ance of the entire community. Not
only do they make severe and expensive
inroads into the fiocks of the farmers
who live near town, but they annoy
the housewives of the city, nothing
can be left outside the house in the
way of food but it is disturbed by them;
they make night hideous with their
wells and barking and the sick are dis
turbed, the well annoyed, and the COM
munity in general are the victims of
this pack of hungry, worthless mon
grels. The rigid enforcement of the
collection of the dog tax and the strin-
gent rules accompanying its non pay
ment, might help to some extent, but
wholesale shot gun quarantine would
surely be the surest means of putting
an end to this long complained of nuis-
ance.

When William Jennings Price was
appointed Minister TO Panama, the

would give good account cf himself,

self, his friends and the home of his
nativity is fully verified by the follow
ing article by Arthur B. Krock, the
we'll known newspaper correspondent
in a recent letter to the Courier-Jour
nal:-
There is one man on the Isthmus
and one only, whose work is such that
the fractional disturbances rage far
distant from his sphere. He is William
Jennings Price, of Danville, the Amer
lean Minister, and the labors he is per-
forming in the interest of the United
States are as valuable as the canal
building itself. 1t is his business to
see that nothing happens in the Repub-
lie of Panama that will disturb the
safety, operation and maintenance OF
the canal, and upon his success very
much depends. Mr.. Price is a young
man and an exceedingly modest one,
but he has established relations with
the Panama Government and the ma
tives of the country that have resulted
in great good feeling for the Govern
ment of the United States.
While negre blood largely prevails in
the mixed race that inhabits the re-
public, there is enough of proud Span
ish and fierce Indian to incline the
Panamans toward hatred of the big
country that is digging the canal and,
while it befriends and protects them,
does it, at the sans time, patronizingly.
To the American on the Zone all natlv-
es are ''speakltties" or ''niggers" anC

aman he laughs, which is almost as
irritating. So Mr.. Price, in his quit:
way, while undertaking to protect the
great interests of this Government,
has undertaken also to promote good
feeling between the two peoples, and
it is work that will yield rich fruit to
the United States. 1t keeps him busy

brings him up against high barriers
and sets many stumbling blocks to his
feet. But he is winning his fight, anc
