UPLIFT OF ALL INEsRIATEs.
Sought BY Men Who Form Brother.
hood Designed After w. c. r. U.

Hopkinsville, Ky. = Announcement
was made here of the formation of the
Brotherhood of the Christian Temper
ance Union, which is designed to work
along the same temperance lines as
the Woman's Christian Temperance
Union, and to be affiliated with the
latter, but which goes a little further
and seeks to uplift the inebriates and
find employment and other aid for con-
victs newly released from prison. It
is proposed to eventually build home
for unfortunates, and this will be To-
Gated here. The work will be extend
ed as rapidly as possible until the or
ganization becomes national in its
character.

HOWEVER,.

Hoidover Senators Will Get $40 Per
Day, the Same as the Newly-Elected
Members-Move To Widen Dry Ter
ritory in Senate.

Western Newspaper Union News Service
Frankfort-There is a rumor afioat
here to the effect that number of the
members of the general assembly have
come to the conclusion that, inasmuch
as the tax amendment and convict Ia
Dor amendments to the constitution
have been declared invalid, little can
be accomplished in the way of reform
trying to secure sufficient support to
justify them in offering resolution to
adjourn the present session until later
in the year, that is until after the SEN
atorial primary election in August.
The 10 hold-over members of the
state senate who were in office when
the per diem allowed members OF the
general assembly was increased at the
last session from S. to $40, will re-
ceive the increase just the same as
new members. Atty. Gen. Garrett took
the view that they were entitled to it,
in an opinion given to State Auditor
H. NJ. Bosworth. Atty. Gen. Garrett
said it would not be right to have part
of the membership drawing $40 the
day and part SIS, and he is convinced
that there is nothing in the constitution
to prevent the holdover members par
ticipating in the increase.
He distinguished between salaries
and per diem compensation in the sec
ton of the constitution prohibiting the
increase of salary during the incum-
bent's term of office, and, quoting
from Debates of the Constitutional
Convention, he shows that an effort
was made 10 put legislators on a sal
airy, but the effort was defeated and
the per diem compensation, based on
the actual number of days they attend,
was adopted, from which he draws the
conclusion that the trainers of the
constitution intended to make a dis
tinction.
Another link in its policy of re-
treI chment was welded by the house
when it voted, 73 to 6, against a joint
resolution providing for a junket OF
legislative committees at the expense
OF the state treasury. John c. Hall,
Of Christian county, took rap" al
this measure, declaring that the pro-
posed junket would cost not less than
$4,000, and that no good whatever
would result to the institutions visit
ed, or to the taxpayers of the state.
The resolution looking to a 10y
ride" of Legislators to various state in
stitutions was called up by Repre-
sentative Nichols, OF Fayette county
author of the measure, who explained
later that it was immaterial to him
what action was taken regarding it
and who cast vote against it, Il mere
ly offered the resolution in order thai
the general assembly might vote OF
whether it wants the committees OIL
state prisons, reform schools and char
liable institutions to visit such before
reporting on them he said.

ate was the Introduction of the meas

MINES RESUME OPERATIONS.
Alleged Excessive Damage Verdicts
Said To Be Retarding Development.

Barbourville, Ky-Mining opera
tons in the southeastern Kentucky
coal fields are resuming normal ap-
pearance, after severar weeks of de-
preston, the contributing causes for
which were mild winter weather and
an over-production, with correspond
ing slump in prices. During a consid-
cradle portion of the closing month
of last year many mines operated only
part of the time, while not few sus-
pended work altogether, awaiting the
appearance of cold weather and pro-
fitable prices.

CANADA HAS
PARCEL POST

service by dropping the first peck.
age into the mails. In the method
Of fixing rates according to the zone

follows closely after, the similar serv;
Ice established q year ago In. the Unit;

An important feature designed to

Office is local zone, enjoying rates
considerably lower than those provid-
ca for s&in the provincial zones. s
For the first three months Of oper-
alton! parcels up to- six pounds only
are to be, taken. !, Afterwards. when
the system gets into proper running
order the fulls limit of IL pounds will
be carried. The local zone system
Is expected to be of great benefit to

gardeners, who. can use; the mails
for sending produce tos.their local
market al: low. rates. "a parcel of.sli
pounds can fibe sent 30 miles for 2
ceuts o pound, and; this 10 expected
to give the farmers "a decided ,ad:
