JUDGE BENTON CHARGES
ROTTENNESS in PRIMARY
Defeated Candidate For Re.
nomination To Bench Urges
Probe By Grand Jury.

Winchester, KY, Sept. 15.-The
September term of the Clark Circuit
Court opened here and the feature
of the first days proceedings was
Judge Ben.on's charge to the grand
jury. 1t will be recalled that Judge
Benton was defeated for the nomi-
nation for c rcuit Judge in the re-
cent primary by County Judge
Shackelford, of Madison. and in his
charge to the grand jury, he dwelt
at length on the "rottenness of the
primary" characterizing it as the
worst in the history of the county.
He urged that a thorough investi-
cation be made and closed by offer
ing to testify himself before the
body at any time they would need
him.

HAS DEVICE TO FOIL

New York.-That he has solved
the problem of limiting telephone
party lines to one receiver and one
sender of messages. although many
persons may be on the same wire. is
the belief of Louis M. Manders, of
Orange, N. j., who has applied for
patent on new device which in
stantly deadens all house connec-
lions save the one in use until the
user has finished talking.
Especially in the country districts,
where it has been the custom for the
villagers to enjoy gossip by simply
taking a receiver off of the hook
while neighbors hold conversations,
Will the arrangement be welcomed.
Mr.. Manders believes.
Records of the United Sta es pat
ent office. where Mr.. Manders was
employed for many years. show no
less than 300 patents have been issu-
ed to accomplish the lockout of all
parties but one on so.called party
wire. None, however. is in actual
use.

REQUIREMENTS FOR
RURAL TEACHERS

The peop'e of Kentucky cry con-
tinually for better schools. In or
der to have better schools we must
have better teachers. In order to
have better teachers than we have
they should be paid better salaries,
but that is not all. there should be a
more efficient way of selecting them
so that the fittest shall survive
The Kentucky schoul laws are
good. our sys ems are good, but still
there il room for Improvement.
In Kentucky about ninety pr
cent. of the teachers are women. A
few wi make it a profession. the
most will after few years marry.
or quit to do something else. The
men who teach will in a few. years
either leave the profession or go 10
graded schools or colleges.
There are at our very doors. High
School and College graduates. eff
cient teachers. unemployed. There
are teachers. who have gone little if
any beyond the eighth grade. whose
souls have never been inspired By
the vision of higher life, teaching
schools that the efficient unes could
not get. These cases may be few,
but let me say unto you people Of
Kentucky that one life is worth edu-
eating and giving a vision of high
ideals.
In too many instances our trustees
are men of narrow renge. who have
too small vision for their schools
have met them in home and schoo
and some have argued that the earn
was fiat. and science a fake. That
germs did not exist, what was TO be
wouli be. am not knocking on the
trustees. but these conditions do ex.
ist, and what kind Of teacher will
such man briag his school?
| Cyunty boards have tried to raise
the r, quirements but as our law
is. it is hard to do. Could not our
law be amended? Each applicant
should be required to file. with the
written application. his certificate or
diploma. or statement of credits Civ
en- by schools he has attended; one
with the county superintendent, one
with the trustee, one with the divis'
ion St secretary or chairman; and then
the applicant who furnished the best
record of past work and qualifica.
tlon should be elected regardless Of
the will of the local trustee.

Tobacco Co. against the Common
wealth, a revenue agents suit, the
Court of Appeals affirmed the Frank

quiring the company to pay S1,648.85
with interest from February l, 1907;
$1,282.43 with interest from February
1, 1908; $1,337.40 with interest from

reversed the Circuit Court in the mat
ter of allowing Revenue Agent Earl
Huntsman 20 per cent penalties on
the amount. The suit was filed by At

the revenue agent. The State Board of
Valuation and Assessment had assessed
the company Kentucky's proportion of
its paid up capital stock of $118,931,-

FOOT Disease Cost $4,000.

No change has been reported to Com
the situation of the foot and mouth
disease among the cattle in this state.
Every possible means to prevent the
spread of the disease is being taken
by the Department of Agriculture. The
Commissioner said: 1.-THE last out
bfeak in Kentucky has been confined
to the stock yards and the slaughter
ing pens of the cities, and the govern
ment refuses to pay for any ANIMALS
destroyed, except those upon the
farms, holding that the butcher or the
dealer purchases at his own risk, know
ing the danger of getting diseased ami
mails when bought from any public
market place. The total value OF ami
mails destroyed in Kentucky up to the
present time is $4,000, and the ex-
pense of burial and disinfection of
premises amounts to approximately
the sum of $4,000. The Federal Gov
ernment has paid its one-half of the
value of the animals destroyed and
also its one-half of the expenses of
destruction and disinfection." Com
missioner Newman has drawn a voucn-
er from the funds appropriated for the
Department of Agriculture for the
states one-half of the expenses of de-
struction and disinfection, which will
be paid at once if approved by the
governor and warrant is issued by the
auditor. The 1916 legislature of Ken
lucky will be called upon to provide
funds for reimbursing the owners, who
have been compelled to lose their ami
mails, for the states one-half of their
value.
