Governor Defends Legisla
ture. Is a statement defending the last Leg
islature from the frequent charge of ex
travagance. Gov. McCrearv shows that
in comparison with the last Legislature
under Got. Willson it was very conser
vative in the amount appropriated. The
previous Legislature is credited with
appropriations of f 1.389,021.63; 'he last
one wilh tj76.2U.C7, much less than
ialf.
When the republicans took charge six
years ago they found H3.711.73 in the
treasury. When ther retired there was
a deficit of $S09,539 90, which with the
appropriations, accounts for much of
the present indebtedness.
The governor appends the list of ap
propriations of the Legislature of 1912,
w hich shows that few if any of Uiem
could have been omitted.
It might Lave waited a while on the
governor's man-ion and expended less
on the State fair, but this is merely in
dividual opinion.
We are f lad that the governor comes
lo the defense f the first Legislature
under his administration and sets at
rest the many charges of profligacv
which have been made against it, by
proving them untrue.
VvTiy Congress Should Act
Theke is no reason why Congress
should delay action for a new currency
and banking law beyond the special ses
sion to be called this spring. Congress
is in possession of complete information
as to the operations of the banking sys
tems in this and all other countries
Aside from numerous disastrous expe
nences. terminating in the panic of
l'JQ', with their eloquent information,
the lawmakers have before them the 23
volumes of the report of the National
Moneiary Commission. This report is
the most exhaustive compendium of in
formation as to American and foreign
banking systems and methods ever com
piled. In addition the House subcommit
tee of the Banking and Currency Com
tniuee has been making special stndy of
the question sicca last spring and has
been hearing the views of bankers and
other business men for several weeks.
The general question of banking and
currency ieform has been under con
stant investigation and study since 1907.
Knowledge knows no party. Informa
tion is information whether democrat or
republican uncovers it. If Congress can
not act at the special session, because it
requires further time to investigate, it
might as well postpone action indefin
itely for the same reason.
Think of this, boys, before you begin
the use of the little coffin nails: W. P.
King, superintendent of the public
schools of Newport, in a statement is
sued this week, declares that he found
that 93 percent, of the boys who failed
in one or more subjects are, or have
been, cigarette smokers, the majority
of them smoking without the knowledge
of their parents. In some grades almost
every boy is a cigarette smoker in a
greater or less decree.
TnK toll rates for sending mcr.?y by
telegraph will be reduced after March
first. This branch of the telegraph
business has more than tripled during
the past ten years, although the
amounts sent have been small, averag
ing for last year $17.

a southern man into President Wilson's

portfolio.

Many Bluegrass League clubs are
struggling lo get matters Into shape
before the beginning ot the season and
in many instances the outlook is ex.
tremely gloomy. The Paris team will
start the season beyond a doubt, pro
vided however there will be sufficient
support accorded by the fans to tide
the affair over until the season Is fairly
launched, then, it is calculated, there
will be plenty of money to sustain the
club.
While there Is a disposition among
some of the clubs to drop out, there are
always a few fans in each town grab
bing at the remaining straw to see a
little ray of hope tor a team. Hich.
niond is one of the towns that Is well
in the rut, but it is practically decided
there will be a team. The fans held a
very enthusiastic meeting and the
question was thoroughly discussed,
the result of which was that an effort
would be made to retain their club.
Contracts have been mailed to all the
reserved players.
There is a probability that the Or
ohans will be compelled to see another
parentage, for the report comes from
Ait. Mining mat me laqs there are
"dead sore" on the game because their
team made such a poor showing last
year and the fans were compelled to
dig deep in their "jeans" to supply a
deficit in the treasury, caused by the
failure of the club to draw on the road
The patronage at home was good and
the Mt. Sterling fans, like true sports,
accorded a good support.
The Frankfort club is about the only
one among the sextet that is saying
nothing and sawing wood, making
very rapid strides toward the forming
of a good team, while Lexington finds
it easy to get ready from the fact that
there is sufficient where-withal to start
the ball rolling.
lie port from the Kivermen are to
the effect that Maysville will be there
when the bell taps and already have
selected their chief in the person of
"Peggy" Moore, who managed the
I ronton team of the Ohio Btate League
last year. The fans are hopeful the
new manager will carry the coveted
rags lo the river town this fall.
The endeavor to put two more clubs
clubs in the league with the addition
of teams in Covington and Newport
which would make an eight club
league, is interesting local fans. A
number of influential msn in Coving
ton have undertaken the task, and
will make a visit to President Herr
mann, of the Cincinnati club, before
taking a hasty venture.
