Rev. Irl R. Hicks 1903 Almanac.

To say that this splendid work of science and
art is finer and better than ever, is stating it
mildly. The demand for it is far beyond all
previous years. To say that such results, reach
ing through thirty years, are not based on
sound sense and usefulness, is an insult to the
intelligence of the millions. Prof. Hicks,
through this great Almanac, aud his famous
family and scientific Journal Word and Works,
is doing work for the whole people not APP
preached by any other mau or publication.

A NUMBER OF regular army officers whose
homes are in Kansas have made complaint to
the wa department concerning their position.
The complaint has been made through Senator
Burton, who has taken the matter up with the
secretary of war with view to adjusting the
matter to the satisfaction of his Kansas con-
stituents 1t seems that the law for the reor-
ganizaton of the army provides that commits
stoned officers who served during the late
Philippine unpeasantness, and who have since
been given commissions IN the regular army
establishment, shall be given credit, in the
matter of seniority, for the time served il the
volunteer forces. The Kansas officers find up
on investigation, however, that large number
of officers who have not served as long as have
the Kansas officers now outrank them in he
regular army. Hence the kick.

FROZEN TO DEATH.

A few days ago, mother, with her
little girl across her breast, were found
frozen to death in a tenement house in New
York city. 1t is estimated that not less than
quarter of million destitute men, women and
children in our large cities would starve and
freeze but for public charity, and still we ATE
lust entering the winter season.
These are victims of the policy of the Re-
publican party. God provided for His children
abundant fuel to keep them warm, but, under
the protection of the Republican party, the
trusts and railroads own il all, and the poor are
left to starve and freeze. This policy is the
most heartless, vicious anarchy that ever
cursed the human race. 1t breeds more anar-
chists in single month than come to our
shores from foreign lands in five years. 1t is
generating the farce which, unless checked
will eventually end in the destruction of civil
Government. In the midst of this starving and
freezing. the cries of the destitute for help are
drowned by the hypocritical yell of prosper
ity."
A five-million- dollar mansion on the Hudson
for the president of the steel trust, and
mother and her child freezing from the want OF
fuel. create two extremes that will not last al
WAYS in this country. God is not Dead nor are
all the people destitute of heart and conscience.
There will vet come day of reckoning, and
the party responsible for these conditions will
be brought to judgment and condemned.

WHEN Rockefeller donates million OF two
to college, he raises the price OF oil and the
people pay the freight. When Morgan and his
railroads raise the wages of their hands ten per
cent, the rates of freight are advanced enough
TO pay twice the added salary list and the pee
pie pay the freight. When Carnegie gives
away millions to the Libraries and schools, it
is only the fruits of hold-up of all the people

A sight for the gods was a man
down town yesterday with a dump
cart going about where the new gravel
had been placed on the streets loading
the boulders into it. These boulders
are huge Jumps that the city has paid
for along with the rest Of whatever
constitutes gravel" in Paducah.
After the gravel" has been dumped
onto the street, the Jumps that are too
large for the average wagon to get
over in safety are raked to one side,
and the man mentioned above comes
along and carts them of. Thus the
city pays meE to put the gravel on,
and then turns around and pays them
to haul it of. Why aren't these boul-
ders taken out before the gravel is
measured up for the city? 1t would
not only save the city the expense Of
paying for something worthless, but
would save her the trouble of having
it picked out and set aside, and then
hauled away.

to win. The most disastrou of all
these three issues for the Democrats
would be that of Imperialism. The
people of the United States do not be-
lieve that there is any imperialism
in the policy which the Roosevelt
administration and the Republican
party in congress are pursuing in
the Philippines. That policy is un-
questionably favored by at least two
out Of three, of the $4,000, 900 voters
Of this country. IL is policy which
is to be pursued, and which is to re-
suit in greater good for the country
than even that which is foreshadowed
at the present time. The United
States has made Unreasonable ad-
vances, socially, industrially and
politically, in the five years which
have passed since the Republicans
came into power. On its record since
March 4, 1897, the Republican party
can win a grand victory in 1902.

ONLY ONE ISSUE.

The leading Democrats Of the coun-
try admit that there are only three
things out of which the party can
we'll make an issue for the next cam
paign. One Of these is the tariff, one
imperialism and the other the trusts.
The fallacy of Imperialism was decid-
ed at the last election by the over
whelming reelection of President Nc
Kinley, leaving little hope OF convert.
ing this well-threshed question into
anything like an issue. The tariff is
something in which the people Of the
United States have always supported
Republican principles, leaving moth
ing, virtually, except the trusts, for
the Democrats to fall back on.
The way President Roosevelt is GO
ing after these leaves the Democrats
little consolation along this line. Presi-
dent Roosevelt has always had pro-
noun ced views about the trusts. as a
bout everything else, and he is, making
and has always made war Just as vigor-
ously against them as the Democrats
could have done. II he socomplishes
anything, it will completely deprive
the Democrats of the trust issue, and
IL he doesn't it will prove conclusive
ly that the Democrats couldn't either,
and they could have no possible ex-
cuse for wanting to try. This vigor-
Gus action of President Roosevelt is
effectually cutting from under the
Democrats the only real issue upon
which they have the slightest hope Of
uniting, that Of the trusts. II will
leave them nothing on which to
make the next fight, unless IL is the
tariff, which will be opposed by
thousands of them, because it WAS
recently suggested by Former Presi-
dent Grover Cleveland.
There is one thing certain in fore
casting the next national campaign,
and that is that the Republicans will
WIN by one Of the largest votes ever
polled.

But the allegations about the rub
Der hose purchased by the Republi-
can council are incorrect. Fire Chief
Wood is quoted as having said that
the hose were mo account" eight
months after they were purchased.
We have not the records before us, but
a member of the Republican, or Bus
mess Mems Council, states that in
1896 the Business Mems Council 2ur-
chased 800 feet of Maltese Gross rub
Der hose, and that Chief Wood was
not then in office, and was not IN office
for eighteen months thereafter, and
consequently knows nothing about
how long the hose were good, and GER
tainly could not know that they didn't
last eight months Then the hose
were used for about year after Mr..
Wood was again elected fire chief, and

1t wouldn't make any difference
whether the fire hose bought by the
Business Mems Council proved to be
valuable or worthless. 1t wouldn't
alter the fact that the cotton hose
that the last administration paid 30
cents foot for, and which, according
to the fire chief, can not now stand a
pressure of 100 pounds. are worthless,
and that the administration, by its

THE DEMocRAoY's
THREE ISSUES.
(Globe Democrat. }

(Globe Democrat
Ostensibly the Democracy will have
three issues in the congressional can
vass Of 1909. Some Of their leaders,
that Is to say, are urging the party to
make a fight on trusts, imperialism
and tariff reform. Ex-President Cleve-
land favored tariff reform in his great
harmony speech at the Tilden club
dinner. but nobody has been able to
! md that the recommendation has
pused any enthusiasm except among
thJs Democratic enemies of the ex-
PRO Incident, who cast derision upon him
for ms tariff record, as they do for
everything else which he has said or
done. ',Cleveland skipped imperial
ism. but come of the other Democrat
10 magnates pretend they want that
for an issue. Trustism, of course,
Will come in for assault in the can
vass.
On all these issues the Democracy
can be easily beaten. On tariff re-
form there is no approach to harmony
among the Democats. 1t is certain
that the country is not seeking any
tariff reform. or wants any tinkering
with the tariff in any direction. On
the trust question the Republicans
have far better record than the Dem
ocrats, for the Republicans passed the
only antitrust bill ever enacted by
congress, and tine Republicans en-
forced that act and are enforcing II
now. The Republicans will be ex-
ceedingly glad to see the Democia ats
bring the question Of imperialism for
ward. That is an issue on which there
are hundreds Of thousands of new
votes for the Republican party in the
country at large.
There is no issue in sight on which
the Democrats have the faintest chance
