SKINS HIM ALIVE

The following from the trench
ant pen of Editor Burgher, of the
Clay City Times, will be read with
interest.
Governor Beckham's opening
speech at Elizabethtown Monday
was we'll received, and created
quite a good impression upon his
hearers, who, of course, in the
main, were Beckham supporters
before they went to hear him.
He scored his opponent, Owsley
Stanley, very viciouSly. His re-
marks being upon his connection
with the L. & N. Railroad con-
WINGED us more conclusively that
he is a close friend of the rail-
roads and wants to be fair with
the people too. The good book
teaches us that we cannot serve
two masters, and if it were nee
essary for Governor Beckham to
once enter the employ Of his ad-
mitted foe to gain a living for
his family, he might again find
the same necessity facing him.
The people do not need that kind
of a man at Washington to repre-
sent them.
The Times has nothing to say
about Mr.. Beckham representing
the |. c. or any other railroad
except the L. & N. nor would we
hold this against him but for the
part taken by this road in the
Goebel murder. Beckham in
serving the L. & N. under these
circumstances could only do so at
a great sacrifice of honor ard
principle. If Mr.. Beckham's a.
bility as a lawyer is so poor that
he can not get practice enough to
support his family without TAX
ing fees from one of his dead
comrades alleged murderers, he
is unfit for U. S. Senator. 1t al
so seems that less than 800 per
year, which is the sum the Gov
ernor says the L. & N. pays him,
is very small salary, which leads
one to believe that the railroad
regards the Governor as cheap
counsel"

at Winchester, that is looking af-
ter the perjurers who are nullify-
ing its laws. There is danger
however, that an excess of zeal
in this direction may work a
hardship. For instance indicting
one witness for perjury merely
because another witness differed
from him and convinced the jury
that his statement was correct.
Care must be exercised along this
line. Otherwise, people will re-
fuse to testify at all, and become
know-nothings, because no man
will place himself in a position in
which he may be indicted for per-
jury, merely because the testimo-
ny of some other witness who
testifes contrary to him, may be
followed by the jury.

PERJURY

The Estill county grand jury re-
turned 96 indictments. In its re-
port to the Court it made the fol-
lowing timely observations:
1--WE have learned from exper-
fence that one of the greatest him
ORANGES to the enforcement of the
laws of our county is that men
will perjure themselves to save
others. This can and must be
stopped and we recommend that
inquiry courts of the county keep
a record on the evidence given
before them and cooperate with
the next grand jury to indict such
fellows and see that they are pun
ished. Another great producer of
crime is idleness. Most of the
crimes committed is done by men
who do not work, as has truly
been said that the idle brain is the
devils workshop, then we would
recommend the county officers to
enforce the vagrancy law, and
cause men to support their fami'
lies who are depending upon
them. A. D. Howell, Fore'm."

preaching this doctrine all the

THE INSURANCE BILL

We are not fully advised as to
the text of the insurance bill pass
ed by the last legislature. Nor
is this material for our present
observations.
A business that can be success
fully carried on by individuals can
be carried just as successfully by
the state. Insurance has become
engrafted on the commercial bus
mess of the people and can not
be divorced therefrom without
suitable provisions being made by
the state to care for these policies
in the event the insurance COM
panies surrender the risks. But
the state can care for them just
as safely as the companies can
and can do so much cheaper and
more effectively. It is not nee
eSSary to create any additional
offices. The county officers can
look after the insurance business
in connection with their other
duties, for none of them are over
burdened. Every man is entitled
to insurance, because, as a mat
ter of fact, he pays the pemiums
any way. The people bear the
interest burden and the burden of
insurance on their backs and
only a few of them get protection.
Every dollar of insurance carried,
is charged to the people indirect
ly and they pay for it indirectly.
Where ten people pay the prem
iums only one or two get the pol
icies and protection. If a COM
prehensiVe system should be
adopted by the state whereby
every man gets insurance for say
Is per cent of the value of his
property, and not allow any one
to lake out in excess of this per
cent, property would be more Sc
cure and fires fewer. The man
who is now loading up on insur-
ance far in excess OF the real val
ue of the property, with view
of burning it for the money that
there is in it, will disappear.
Those who do not want to carry
insurance will be Safe-guarded
from this character of man. Al
so people will watch their prem
Uses more closely. Insurance,
guarded and protected, by the
state, will also have a value at
tached to the policies.
Nor is the matter one for
chance. Insurance has been so
developed that it is a very prof.
table business. When it is placed
in the hands of the people at
reasonable rates, it will flourish
beyond measure.
The people should not be lon
ger plundered by the insurance
companies. The big, stiff bluff
which they are attempting to
play on the state, should be
promptly called. There is no
better way to do SO than for the
governor to call the legislature
together to provide proper laws
enabling the state to take over
the policies which they are now
trying to cancel. Rest assured
that when this is done, the COM
panies will make one of the big
gest fights ever pulled off in this
state to prevent the state from
so doing.
We have no prejudice. against
insurance companies. We sim
ply prefer for the state to carry
its own insurance. The honor
