THE LITTLE PIECE CLUB.

Dismayed at finding report Of their
executive session in the Advertiser the
Portuguese Piece Clgb essays a series
of denials which are give-aways OF
themselves For instance Camara says
that he did not promise to pay his poll
teal assessment in drinks, but explains
his words-which a member Of the
Advertiser staff took down at the time
in short hand-in this disingenuous
way: What Camara did say was
that he was peculiarly placed to be a
! candidate for the Legislature. Tn
doubtedly men would call upon him at
his place of business to talk politics
and would incidentally get a drink. He
would have to sacrifice his business and
would have to secure assistance to at
tend to his clerical work. Under the
circumstances he did not think he
should be asked 10 contribute mucn
money" After that explanation" if
anyone doubts the accuracy of this pa
per's stenographic report of Camara's
remarks he needs a guardian.
Which way would Camara have been
likely to talk?
In point of fact the news reports of
the local press are far more accurate
than is possible on me large papers of
the Coast and in the treatment of the
Portuguese Piece Club they have only
erred on the side of leniency. AS for
the Advertiser it has hesitated to tell
the public everything about the small
commercial faction in the Portuguese
society, but this consideration seems to
have been wasted. 1t is quite time for
politicians and the public to know how
little respect it deserves, especially now
that it has begun to attack Andrade in
the name of all the Portuguese voters. /

fellow citizens. Andrade ,

FUSION IMPROBABLE.


There is no fusion between Home Ru-
lers and Democrats and at the present
time the chances that such combine
1yi1, hA made are growing small by de-
grees and beautifully less. Although
wilcox, under orders of Caypless, his
baole boss, was the first to make ad-
vances-which he did here by word or
letter to Col Cornwell-his party has
refused to follow him. Trouble began
TO brew as soon as certain Home Rule
nominees, Bill White in especial, heard
that they were TO be crowded off the
ticket to make room for Democrats
Several of them threatened in that
event, to run as Independents; and this
meant that Wilcox's poi would be all
dough. SO with characteristic treach-
cry the Home Rule leader began to re-
pudiate his own pledges-those he had
first made to Senator Blackburn and
those he made subsequently to the To-
cal Democratic Committee. He sud
ienIy discovered that one did not need
to belong to the Democracy or the Re-
publican party to get recognition at
Washington-that America was simply
alive with Home Rulers VINO only want
ed chance to reach nirvana by aiding
the Home Rulers of Hawaii. Having
made this beginning he easily passed to
a critical attitude towards the second
parties to the proposed fusion. his wife
declaring as follows in her paper:
Delegate Wilcox never ran after the
Democrats and never begged them to
come over to him. 1t was the Demo- |

Rule is open to them, if not, that's their
lookout as the Home Rulers need no
help They had none last time and we
do not see why they cannot get along |
without any aid from either party this
time.
This has left the Democracy in a
most unhappy state. They had met
Wilcox's advances so as to get some
OF their men into the Legislature, but
now they find that they cannot receive
the goods. The most they are permit
ted to do is to vote for Home Rulers
and that is not what they are in politics
for.
1t ought to be easy, now, for the

government as represented by the Re
publican ticket Many of them would
have done so if fusion had been achiev-
ed all may do so now and but make a
natural protest against an act of
But there is another and a
better reason. Candidly speaking, they
would probably do themselves more
good as party by that course than
any other; for, if Home Rulers win this
year they will stay Home Rulers for a
long time and absorb the men to whom
the Democracy looks for its strength.
On the other hand if the Home Rulers
should be beaten now they would GER
tainly break up as an organization and
divide their strength, in future, be-
tween the Republicans and Democrats.
They cannot outlast defeat but victory
would solidify them. Is it good Demo-
cratic politics to solidify them? Would
it not be better politics, even at the risk
of party effacement in this campaign,
to break them up?

WHY ANY DELAY?

Nothing has yet been done towards
withdrawing the injunction suit to
force Paducah back into the third
class. The people have unanimously
condemned the suit, and the council
manic board refused to indorse il.
There is no excuse for waiting longer
to withdraw II and end the turmoil
1t is said the three councilmen who
brought it are waiting for the action
of the board of aldermen on the ques-
ton, but il they are there is no rea-
son for it. The board Of aldermen,
the board of couDoilmen, nor the gen
eral council authorized the suit, and
the action of neither three has to be
awaited in order to withdraw it, and
should have no more influence IN in
ducing them to Withdraw it than it
had in inducing them to bring it.
It is not claimed by the councilmen
who are plaintiffs in the suit that
they represented the general council
or either board when they brought
it, and their action is as certain to
be condemned officially as it has
been individually throughout the
city. They brought it on their own
responsibility, and can and should
withdraw it on their own response
bility. They admit that they made
a mistake because of the universal
disspproval of their action, If for no
other reason, and there is no coca
sioon to wait for any further reason
for withdrawal

compelled to do either. If the off
cial boards indorse the action of tbs

TO STAMP IT OUT
Health Authorities are Determined to
Enforce the Law
People in the Lovelsoeville Section
Must Be Vsccinsted, Say
the Officers.
1T IS THE STATE LAW

The state health authorities are de-
termined that the rule adopted by the
state board OF health last year be rig
idly enforced as to vaccination.
For the past several weeks there
have been several cases Of smallpox in
the LovelAceville section and the
health officers have been trying to
force the residents of that portion Of
the county to undergo the operation Of
vaccination. The school authorities
have been notified and also have the
physicians of that section and il the
vaccination is not done within two
weeks, the health officers will begin
prosecution of those refusing to be
vacoinnted.
The law regarding vaccination is
here quoted as it reads in the books
of rules adopted by the state boar d
last year:
mo person shall become a mem
Der of any public school within the
Jurisdiction of this board, as .
teacher or scholar without first fur
nishing a certificate from some reput-
able physician showing that he or she
has been successfully vaccinated."
On this law the board will act and
If the children refuse to undergo the
operation, or If the parents will not
force them or prevent them in any
way, then the health officers will re-
sort to the law-to anything to stamp
out the dreaded smallpox.
