I The amount of salt and curetl meats

In Kentucky, Governor A. O. Stanley, In
his messngo lo the Genernl Assembly, '
strongly urges speedy submission of the
question.
Amendments lo both the Stnto and
Federal constitutions, he said, wuld be
called tn the attention of tho legisla
ture. Referring to Statewide prohibi
tion, he
pre&slon
out nmblgully or equivocation. The Fed
eral amendment he dismissed with the
observation that It would be submitted
"for yur latlflcntlou or rejection."
Until the passage by Congress of tho
I resolution submitting to tlio Stntes a
prohibition amendment to the Federal
Constitution, the course the General As
sembly would tnko was considered a
toregene conclusion. With the pissago
of that resolution, however, the sltuitlon
became, somewhat Involved, nnd now It
seems probnlilo that n fight on tho pro
hlliltlon Issue may come nftcr all.
One clement In the General Aa,ni,i
would submit a State-wide amendment to

h
POTTSV1LLK. Pa, Jan. 9. W. W,
Woodbury, attorney for the Law and
Order Society, has presented to the
court a petition usklng thnt all now
applications for liquor licenses bo re
fused and that hundreds of old licenses
be discontinued, on the ground that the
saloons are debauching miners and pre
venting tho proper production of coal.
Application was made for a rule to
put a large proportion of the saloons in
Shenandoah. Mahanoy City, McAdoo,
MInersville nnd New Philadelphia out of
business. Suggestion also was made to
court for the appolntme of n commis
sion to ascertain the abuses of the liquor
traffic and to what extent accidents
about the mines are affected by the con
gestion of saloons In the mining territory.
The petition declares that 1000 of the
1150 saloons In this county are in tho
mining region, .md that In order to In
crease the efficiency of the miners It Is
necessary to cut down the temptation.
In New Philadelphia, a town devoted to
mining, it is alleged thcro Is one saloon
to every thirteen registered voters.
The charge Is made that the efllclency
of men at the mines Is cut down from 10
to 15 per cent after every payday, ai
