ABANDON COUNTRY BUSINESS.

Hopkinsville. Ky.-As a result of
the decision of the Kentucky court OF
appeals, affirming the Christian cir
cult court in declaring that the Chris
tian-Todd Telephone Co. must pur.
chase a franchise to continue business
outside Of the towns in which it holds
franchises the company may abandon
its country business, which it is
claimed has never been profitable.
This statement is made on authority
OF a high official of the telephone com

Quiring the country lines which it is
said are owned for the most part by
farmers to pay for connection with

A plea Of guilty to the charge OF
failing TO comply with sanitary re-
qulrements OF the pure food law was
entered In Magistrate p. T. Sullivan's
court In behalf OF the Banner Baking
Co, Louisville. w. Scheppelman, chief
of the Kentucky bakery inspection de-
partment, Lexington, was the COM
planning witness "In carrying out our
work we are using, as far as possible,
a method that differs somewhat from
that OF other states" said Mr.. Schep-
pelman after the hearing. 1--WE believe
that mere prosecution is not the best
way to get results II is our aim
eventually TO have the stamp OF purity
on every loaf OF bread and every bit
OF pastry offered for sale. We contend
that the only way to get permanent
and lasting results is to educate the
ones who are engaged in this business.
We invite questions and problems OF
all kinds concerning the business, in
addition to making a free chemical
analysis of samples OF -four sent to us.
This latter enables a baker to know
Just what kind OF -four he is getting
before he accepts and pays for 1t.
We expect to establish, in the near fu-
ture, a class in the science Of baking
at Lexington, where instruction will
be given free"

oRUNKAR Ds' HOSPITAL
Mayor Of Lexington Would Have In
stitution on Farm Supported
BY state.

Lexington, Ky.-"One OF the great
pital, and II | were a member OF the
legislature ] would devote my best ef-
forts to passing bill establishing
such an institution" remarked Mayor
J. h. Cassidy, who had dropped into
the police station and saw the usual
filling in of Christmas "drunks,' one
OF whom he had pardoned at noon
from the workhouse in the customary
holiday amnesty. Such an institution
would be self-supporting, too. Most of
the drunkards when kept from the use
OF intoxicants and given active labor
in the open air would become able and
energetic workmen, and would rem
der the institution not only selfsup-
porting, but a source Of revenue to the
state. The excess over cost of their
labors could be applied to the support
OF their families. You could put them
in say for a year At the end of that
time they would come out healthy. IL
they fell from grace then send them
back for term of two years, and If
they were not eventually reformed
they would at least cease to be bur
den on the communities in which they
lived
My plan would be for the state to
get a farm of about 500 acres, build
an impregnable fence around 1t and
have guards like any other reforma-
tory institution. Within this Enclosure
have the inmates perform all the du-
ties of raising crops, dairying and all
of the other functions Of model farm,
with perhaps some light form of manu-
featuring for those who had skill in
that way. To this place I would have
sent all persons found guilty of ha-
btual drunkenness, and | believe il
would be one of the greatest institu-
tons for good which the state could
have
In this connection Chief of Police J.
J. Reagan, who agreed with the
mayors idea, said he thought there
ought to be a similar fence with
guards around the School of Reform.

Anti.Pass Legislation.

Judging from the responses that
Secretary John T. Vance. Jr., of the
Anti-Pass League of Kentucky receiv-
ed from members of the legislature
prior to his departure for Santo Do
mingo. where he is now deputy re-
ceiver general of customs, there is an
earnest desire for compliance with
Section 1877 of the Kentucky constitu-
ton which was adopted in September,
1891, and il is considered likely that
one OF the first measures enacted next
month will be an anti-pass law. The
legislatures for % years have disre-
garded the constitutional injunction
that lit shall be the duty of the gen
eral assembly to enact laws to enforce
the provisions of this section which,
in effect, is that any state, district,
city, town or county officer. or mem
Der of the general assembly, or Judge
who shall ride on pass shall forfeit
his Office" There will likely be more
than one bill drafted but it is said
that the Anti-Pass Leagues measure
will be shaped by Attorney Thomas
Thompson, of Franklin, Simpson coun-
ty. II may be introduced by Repre-
sentative Matt Savage Walton, of Lex
ington, or by Representative John

Law to Relieve Property Owners Of

western Newspaper Union News Service.
Frankfort--Mayo J. Ernest CASH
dy, OF Lexington, thinks some amend
ments to the law providing the com
mission form of government for cities
of the second class are necessary, and
he is writing a request to the mayors
and city commissioners of Covington
and Newport and the mayor OF Padu-
cab, which has voted the adoption OF
the commission form of government,
to meet with him and Lexington's city
commissioners in Frankfort on Tues
day, January 6, for the purpose Of as
pertaining the opinions of all these Of
icials and for the further purpose of
appointing a steering committee to
secure the needed amendments. May
or Cassidy says that one particular in
which the present law is deficient is
that it does not require that candi-
dates shall be candidates for specifi-
cally one of the four offices-commis-
sioner of public safety, public works,
public finance and public property.
AS it is now four men are elected
commissioners, the mayor being the
fifth, and then they must settle as to
who of them shall fill the respective
Offices. He says this has not proved
satisfactory here and at Newport. A
new street law, one that will give the
property owners on streets to be re-
constructed or improved, relief from
the burden of half the expense on
either side OF the highway. The pub
lie generally occupies and uses the
street, and the public should pay more
of the cost of construction and main
tenance than it now does. Represen-
tative Walton had a conference with
"A large number Of citizens on this sub
ject, and a bill which may AFFORD the
relief desired by most property own
ers is now being prepared for intro
ductions at Frankfort. Another law
that is desired, particularly by mem
bers OF the Lexington police and fire
departments, is one granting pensions
10 policemen and firemen in cities Of
the second class who have grown too
old for further service or who have
been retired because OF disability in
the service.
