DEATHERAGE NO COMPROMISE WITH CRIME While everybody beems pleased that the case of the Winchester banker, jail ed for contempt, has been settled, law yers say that they do not see how Judge Benton could disregard the plain letter of the law and not bar the self- confessed vote buyers, reported by Mr. Ilamptor, from holding office or voting.

Gibson & Co. of Hands Chapter 41, Section 15S7 of the Revis ed Statutes of Kentucky, says that who ever shall bribe another shall on convic tion be fined from tM to 1100 and im prisonment from 10 to 90 days, or both fined and imprisoned, and shall be ex cluded from office and suffrage. The conjunction which connects the tine or imprisonment with the exclusion from office holding and suffrage is copulative and not disjunctive, thereby leaving, as they say, no power in the judge to cit out that provision. We suppose, iiow- ever, that Judge Benton knows what be is ab:ut, but if the contention is as our lawyer friends claim, he has set a pre cedent it will be hard for him to get by, even if he did it because it was the first offense of the accused. It seems that the full peaalty should have been inflict ed on the self-confessed bribers and then the victory of the law would be much more complete. At any rate the trage dy has too much of a farce-comedy end' ing to p'ease the audience. Had it been different, there would probably have been no additional case to deal with for contempt as has appeared. Thereshould be no Compromise with crime e do not want to detract an iota from the good work Judge Benton is do ing, but we do not want to see him make the mistake of erring on the side of mercy, when the law is mandatory in its provisions. The Governor alone should pardon. Major Ucssell, of the U. S. Medical Corps, tells in Journal of the American Medical Association of the wonderful re sults that have been accomplished by vaccination for typhoid fever. lie says that In 1902 with an enlisted strength of 80,7.8 officers and men, there were 5G5 cases of typhoid fever resulting fatally. In 1909 out of 81,075 men there were 382 fatal cases. In March of that year vac cinalioo was begun, but in too small an extent to affect the ratio. In 1910 over 16,000 were vaccinated and the number of typhoid cases began rapidly to dimin minish till 1911 there were only 70 cases. In that year vaccination for typhoid was made compulsory on all persons in the military service "and on all recruits. In 1912, the first year in which the entire army was sought to be made immunr o ily 27 cases occurred, the last one on RESOLVED THAT WHEN YOU WANT ATHINCJ IN A HUR.RY PHONE US- we Ve Got the GOODS.- Dee. 19 last year. Since that lime there hasn't been a single case of typhoid In the army . Major Kussell states that in the past four years 230,000 persons bare been vaccinated without a single death or injurious result. . With this knowledge before them, it will be a greater disgrace than ever for any one to tlie of typhoid fever.

Gibson is known for bis good nature, and when Major ' Alford Judson, formerly of Jackson's Corps of the Confederate Army, appeared with a hiir flair, which ha is dedicating to a movement for universal peace, and asked Mr Gibson to hold it, that the gentle man willingly complied. All this happened right in front of a huge picture of Gen.

Louisville Post Washington Cor CHANGE ill OUR TAX LAWSilEEDED Constitutional- Amendment To Be Voted On IrT I November pr - ; " EQUITABLE SYSTEM DEMANDED Last General Assembly Passed an Amendment to the 8tate Constitu tion Relating to Revenue and Taxa tion. Frankfort. Ky. (Special) The last General Assembly in Kentucky passed an amendment to the State Constitu tion relating to revenue and taxation with a view of abolishing the anti quated general property tax and sub stituting a more flexible system known to be more equitable and productive of greater revenue In other states. The tax commission appointed un der another apt at the same session made a thorough Investigation and re ported unanimously in condemnation of the present law and strongly urged the adoption of the amendment by the voters at the November election. It is a significant fact that since the adoption of the present Constitution In 1891, which provided that "taxes should be uniform on all property," large. volume of personal property has disappeared from the assessors rolls for the simple reason that such prop erty was taxed out of existence or at least out of sight The owner of a bond, for Instance, who received 4 Interest and was called upon to pay In some instances t or more In taxes either sold his bond or failed to return It for taxa tion and cash, notes, bonds, stocks In foreign corporations and such like In vestments are apparently no longer owned by Kentucklans. Burden of Taxes Transferred. This has had a tendency to transfer the burden of taxation to real estate and other property in sight and Is not nlT unequal but unjust Ttx eBUt OWner "OUKI" dlmlni8h tu Taiue and i order to protect himself transfers of property for "one dollar and other valuable con- slderatlons" has demoralized the true values and leaves the assessor no guide to follow. Our cltlsens have unblushlngly omitted such Items In their returns for assessment and havl felt Justified in doing so, The finances of the state have fall en Into confusion and revenue agents and arbitrary boards of so-called Equalization have failed to discover such property and secure their assess ment. Under the present law every man is practically his own assessor and the courts have sustained the practice, as tne jaw permits no other course. General Property Tax Desirable. other states have long since recog nized the inefficiency of the "General Property Tax," and in these states we Bee PenterprlM awarded and wealth accumulating, while the tendency In Kentucky has been to hide our light and incidentally our vaiuaDies ior tear our progress has been retarded I Our population diminished and aside from the land owners ana some mer- chants we do not seem to have much I kmHIi loft In tha state. Money like water flows along the I lines of least resistance, and If we throw up a dam. However slight, it will be diverted. Such a trifling obstacle as taxes. If unequally distributed, may prove to be a barrier of Insurmountable propor tions, however Insignificant It may seem from a casual view. No one desires willingly to become a law breaker, a deceiver or an eva der, and-yet he must be all of these If he follows the old maxim, ""When In Rome you must do as the Romans do. Is this true? Go look at the asses sors books and see where men who are known 'to be wealthy get off by paying little or no taxes on personal 1 property assessed by themselves. Do self respecting men care to fol low this example? A shrewd business man may have large Investments in bonds and fall to return them for taxation by many well known practices of evasion. He re ceives the full return on his invest ment A widow or orphan may be left bonds and the estate may have to be settled In court The revenue agent finds It out and sues for omitted as sessments of former years and the as sessor puts them on the tax list The widow and orphan are compelled to pay two or three per cent In taxes and I live on the remainder. ls such a system fair? Taxes, In a free self-governed coun try, should be the least matter to wor ry about and yet they can be made so unfair and Irksome they drive people away and keep others from coming In. This Is happening all the time in Ken tucky. "' " We have a chance to remedy this evil and if disregarded now we -will have to wait another five years before I n presents itself again. I It is a clear duty to vote for this I constitutional amendment at the No- vember election and every citizen In the state should vote himself and urge his neighbor to do the same if Ken tucky is ever to be dragged out of itv lassitude and kept in . the front rank I of progress, prosperity and peace.

A friend handed the editor the following which is worthy of thought: Many per sons make complaints from time to time about the water rate, the gas bills and electric bills, etc-., and max H no worth while for the city to have a pub lic inspector to read all meters each month and pay for such service out of the city treasury? By this means the I people would know whether they were! overcharged for such public convenien ces: otherwise it seems to many persons that in order the protect thepublio's in terests thai all these public utilities should be owned by the city. It is a pertinent question ''Why should private corporations fatten at public expense?"

CURIOUS BITS OF HISTORY A SEVEN DAYS' FISHERMAN . KING. By A. W. MACY. In 1M7, when the kingdom of Naples was under the grinding rule of 8pain, a fisherman of Sorrento was stung to madness by the Indignities offered his wife by Spanish officials, be cause she had attempted to smuggle a few handfuls of flour. So furious wss he that he tors down an edict that had Just been posted by the authorities. Ths whole population. Including women and children, rallied around him. Forty . years of Spanish oppression had msds them frantic They terrified ths viceroy, resisted ths soldiers successfully, and killed many of the Spanish residents. They se cured a revocation of many ob noxious edicts, the sbollshment of oppressive taxes, and full pardon for all who engaged In the Ineurrectlon. The fisherman, whose name was Masanlslo, was the leader In all this, snd be came ths Idol of ths people. He ruled Naples for seven days, but his success seems to have turned his head.

Attention i feel certain there would be fewer maii orders sent out of this town if the folks of this community realized how complete and up to the minute a stock of boys'and men's clothing and furnishings is at their disposal right here in this store. Most people who order by mail do sounder the belief that they are saving money and obtaining the benefit of a wider range of selection. ... Every one acknowledges that when conditions are usual, the local merchant who assumes a liberal share of the burden of taxation and is in the forefront of every movement for the town's best interests is en titled to the preference. Now my friends, the only favor I ask is that you in vestigate and satisfy yourself as to the correctness of my assertion. For example, I feature that splendid make of hand tailored clothes for young men, the fam ous 4'Collegian"line,also the National all wool standard for boys, "WOOLY BOY" Clothes, the Florsheim Shoe for Men and the "Sil Kid" Shoe for Women. - See the great and pleasing variety of styles and pat. terns, compare these clothes which represent the ut most in quality, togealher with my very reasonable prices, with any mail order merchant you wish. Con sider that you do not have to wait days or weeks for what you want, neither are you expected to pay for your selection before you see it Also when any pur chase you make here is not satisfactory I consider it a priviledge to make it so and with out quibbling or waste of time consumed by correspondence. Your patronage is soliciied entirely on a basis of sat isfying value and personal service which is possible only when customer and merchant meet face to face. I hope you "will take advantage of this invitation and put me to to the test. Then you will do full justice to yourself in the matter of obtaining the greatest possi ble value and satistaction in your clothing, purchases. Yours very truly J. S. Stanif er Home of .
