EQUALIZED REMUNERATION
FOR SERVICES RENDERED

An Ohio Co. Undertaken and Minis
ter recently compared notes on eight
burials and funerals wherein the two
officiated. The result showed the net
receipts, excluding the original cost
of caskets ETC., furnished by the IN
dertaker to be $295.0O, while to the
Minister who honestly endeavored to
bring cheer to the sorrowing relatives
and friends and point out to the
communities the better way of life,
stressing the rewards to be gained in
the great beyond, and perhaps at
times straining his conscience a bit
in eulogising the admirable works,
extoling the many virtues of the dear
departed One. the magnificent and
overpowering sum of $500 was dol
ed out for his services, representing,
you might say, the loss. of s days, and
in some instances a journey, to and
from. of 80 miles.
We do not complain of the sum
charged and collected by the Under
taker, ii was perhaps no more than he
was entitled to, but the niggardly
sums donated to the Minister is to
the shame of our way of doing things.
Equalized remuneration for services
rendered, that's what it is not.

House Bill, No. 1853, requiring the
operation of two passenger trains

roads fifty miles or more in length
in Kentucky, passed the Lower House

DEATHS AND BIRTHS

Since Jan. LIST, 1911, there has
been law in Kentucky that all
deaths and births be reported to the
Registrar for record. The local Of

and 665 births to January l, 1920.

year 1919 deaths exceeded births and
If the present ratio is maintained
deaths are certain to exceed births
curing the present year. This is due,
of course, to the prevalence of so
much FLU" and pneumonia.

reservations and his unwillingness ia
have the nation become a party on
any terms in the Adriatic settlement
Neither is IL concealed that broad
questions of party policy are involved
in the problem Of ratification, now
generally admitted by leaders to have
been thrust into the political cam
paign. Privately the Senators press
ing for acceptance of the Republican
reservations confess themselves out
of accord with the Presidents Jack
son, Day declaration for a solemn
referendum" and they are seeking to
dissociate Senate Democrats from any
appearance of indorsing that pEopo-
sal.
In the caucus, therefore, this group
is prepared 20 plead that the treaty
be ratified on the Republican specifi-
cations, so that the President, If he
then chooses to regard the Senate's
action as a rejection and to pocket
the treaty may have on his own shout
ders the burden of a decision which
they do not believe will be popular
with the country.
With Senate Democrats going one
way and a Democratic President an
other, they believe that Democratic
National Convention will feel itself
free from any cut and dried pro-
gramme when it comes to deal with
the subject.
The Administration staunch sup
porters in the Senate, however, ap-
parently are not fearful that these
counsels will prevail. They indicated
tonight that if any considerable num-
Der of Democrats wanted caucus
one would be called. But they flaunt-
ed the suggestion that it might throw
over the presidents advice or show
a majority against the past and pres
ent party stand on reservations.

RAILS BILL PASSES
SENATE BY AZ TO II
Measure Up To President
With Labor Clamor-
ing For Veto

Washington, Feb. 23.-Legislation
providing for return of tha railroads
to their owners and specifying con-
ditions under which they are to be
operated in future was ready to-
night to be sent to President Wilson.
The Senate, late in the day, adopted.
the conference report in the Esch-
Cummins bill, AZ to II, after about
five hours discussion. The Houcs
adopted the report Saturday.
The question uppermost in minds
of members of both houses tonight
was whether the President would
sign the bill or veto it, as labor has
demanded.
v Director General Hines was per-
mitted today TO notify the various
railroads by telegraph, two hours
before the Senate voted on the confer
ence report, that the executive order
returning the roads will go into effect
'on schedule one week from today.
Radical Demands Expected.
members or both the House and
Senate expect prompt demands by Ia
Dor leaders for radical modification Of
the legislation.
~Of the seventeen votes against the
report in the Senate, fourteen were
cast by Democrats. They were:
BY Republicans-Bor France,
Gronna-3.
Democrats-Ashurst, Dial, Gore,
Darris, Harrison Johnson, South Da-
kota; Jones, New Mexico; King, Nc
Kellar, Nugent, Overman, Pittman,
Sheppard and Irammel-14. Total
II.
There was no debate worthy the
name, except a>brief passage between
Senators Pittman, Nevada, Democrat.
and Poindexter, Washington, Repub-
lican, at the very end of the day.
Senator Pittman voted against the
conference report because he said it
perpetuated the long and short haul
rate evil. Mr.. Poindexter argued with
him that defeat of the present legisla-
ton would not remedy the evil, but
Mr.. Pittman said II the conference re-
port were defeated, an opportunity
would be given Western Senators to
get redress.

rare edifices that men daily accus-
toned to, pause to admire. The
walls are of time-defying granite, and
the interior, with its balanced col
umns, its beauty and wonder stair
ways, are Parian-like marble. The
building is, and indeed should be, the
pride of all Kentucky.
To those who can see beauty in the
sunset, the rainbow and the starry
skies, Frankfort, when viewed from
Capitol Hill, presents a wonderful
spectacle of scenic interest and lovli-
ness. Nesting close on both sides
of the Kentucky river, and walled in
on every side by precipitous hills and
perpendicular cliffs, it presents the
appearance of a medieval walled city.
Standing at any street intersection in
the city one may look to the four
points of the compass and see the
street ending abruptly against a great
precipitous wall. In all Kentucky
there is no other city of its size so
picturesquely situated. 1t is city
of pretty homes, of shaded streets
and grassy lawns, and is withall an
attractive place to live, but for the
blank despair that one may ever be
able to get away from it, once he is
here.
