The Paducah Standard wants the
Western Kentucky Press Association
to meet in that city and we know
of no place that we would rather
have it meet. We think it would be
a good idea to hold a meeting as soon
after the holidays as possible, to con-
slider matters of business and public
interest. The newspaper boys of
Western Kentucky are a hari-work-
ing set and waste but little time seek
ing after pleasure, but meeting Of
this kind would be something more
that a frolic and pleasure jaunt.
There is no reason why the press
should not have an organized associa-
ton, having for its objects the promo
ton of the business interests of news
papers and the consideration of such
subjects as will advance the material
interests Of Western Kentucky. We
would like for such meeting to be
held and every paper should be rep
resented. Let the editors of the First
Superior Court district speak out on
this subject and if they favor the
holding of such meeting the proper
steps will be taken for holding it at
such time as suits the convenience of
the majority.

The Louisville Times has this to
say of j. Ii. Mitchell, the newly elect
ed Republican-Democratic Senator
from Oregon: rr
"Mitchell was in the Senate once
before, during Grants first term as
President, His name is not Mitchell,
but Nipple. He lived in Pennsyl-
vania many years ago, and married
there. He deserted his wife and
went West, where his natural endow-
ments soon procured him advance
ment and Importance. He made
money, and changed his name TO j.
Nipple Mitchell, married again and
became a candidate for Senator. When
he was elected, his Pennsylvania wifi,
who had lapsed into Indifference
about him so long as he was in OBJ
security, INDUCED IN great deal of
bluster, and threatened to place a
serious obstacle in the new Senator's
upward path, but a judicious use OF
money procured the silence of the
discontinued wife and the scandal was
hushed up. When Mitchell's term
expired he returned to the Pacific
Slope, and has since been chiefly ell
gagged in the service of the North
Pacific railroad. He is man OF
ability, cunning, watchful and Jealous
in the interest of his employers; but
his return to the Senate adds moth
ing to the responsibility or influence
of that body. When the roll of great
names which are naturally sought
for in this assembly is called
