margarine without subjecting 1t to the
tax laid by congress ON colored oleo-
margarine, Is strictly sound.

A New Jersey vice-chancellor has re-
fused to enjoin the proprietor OF a
laundry from burning soft coal. While
he admits that the smoke may be a
nuisance, he did not desire to prosecute
business people for what is unavoidable
owing to the anthracite strike. When
hard coal shall again become plentiful
the vice-chancellor stated that he might
entertain similar complaint, but that
at present he could not interfere. This
decision is of great interest to the pub
lie. Many manufacturers have been
driven to the use of soft coal and would
be driven out of business If an in
junction were issued. 1t Is only another
deplorable condition resulting from one
OF the most disastrous strikes on record.

The experience of the .Pittston girl the
other day illustrates anew the folly of
placing faith in matrimonial advertise
ments. Surprising as it may seem
matrimonial agencies often do thriv-
ing business in the large cities, and
many confiding people young and old
are caught by alluring notices in the
newspapers. AS Il rule the fascinating
stories of poor girls or boys who have
secured rich matrimonial partners
through advertisements are purely
fake" When the truth concerning
such an alliance really comes out it
almost invariably gives an experience
like that of the Pittston young woman
who married worthless chap and soon
became tired of him. The person who
answers the "rich" advertiser seeking
a husband or wife stands less chance
of securing the object to be desired
than the "come-on" who buys green
goods of the bunco-steerer.

extra thousand year. II the saloons
ore closed every Sunday, which they
would be in most instances if the
keepers were fined every Monday,
the officers would get nothing. II
the saloons are not made to close on
Sunday, they ought to appreciate it
sufficiently to pay the quarterly fine
so magnanimously exacted from them
BY the officers. A man elected TO pub
lie office does not serve for his health.
He is out for all the money he can get,
and as long as he can make $1,000 a
year extra off the saloons alone, he is
not likely to close them ON Sunday
and thus deprive himself of such a
rake-og. Men who run for office and
have enough pull to be elected are
usually not such conscientious reform
ers as to be so strict and unmindful Of
what means money in their pocket.
This has been going on under a
Democratic administration for years
past. 1t will probably continue to go
on, as long as Democrats are in office

WHY SALOONS ARE
OPEN ON SUNDAY.


1t appears that saloon keeper
who claims to have been victim Of
official spite, and was refused license
on recommendation of the police de-
pnrtment, has stirred up the city coun-
oil over his public charge that you
can't stand in with the police unless
you come up every quarter and pay a
fine for selling whiskey on Sunday.
This is not news to those who are on
the inside. of the municipal govern
ment of Paducah under Democratic
grafters. Everybody knows that the
saloon keepers are allowed TO keep
their saloons open on Sunday on con-
dition that they pay fine to the city
every three months. There is prob
ably no expressed agreement to this
effect, but the understanding is tacit,
and any saloon keeper who keeps open
on Sunday and does not cheerfully
submit to a fine every quarter with
out putting the police TO the trouble Of
watching him and getting evidence in
case he pleads not guilty and has to
be tried, is usually made to regret it.
And to be plain, such a saloon keep
er can expect nothing else, If he I'M
lawfully transacts business on the Sab
bath. and the police officers SEQ Fl, to
permit him to do it every Sunday, and
are willing to let him OF with four
fines instead Of fifty-two, he is an I'M
grateful hog if, when the time Tor
paying the fine comes along, he pleads
not guilty and forces the police to
prove him guilty. The police cannot
be blamed much for making it warm
for such unappreciative people.
1t looks to a man up a tree,
however, as if the slam is on the city
officials. The quarterly fines and the
costs amount to s143O There are
sixty-fve or seventy saloons here, and
the total amount of one batch of fines
is 1929. 80, perhaps little more. The
greater part of this goes to the mar
shall and the prosecuting attorney.
Out Of these quarterly fines each gets
about $500, and four of these fines in
year make princely perquisite of
81, 200 for each. IL is simply ''pick-
up" They are that much ahead. If
they fined the saloons every Monday
morning the saloons would have to
close on Sunday. as the business will
not justify a weekly fine of s14. 80.
The officers cannot conscientiously al
low them to keep open on Sunday
without making them pay for it.
If they dance they must pay the
fiddler, and the officials are the fid-
der IL is dead easy way fer
these Office holders to make an

The public does not understand why
it is necessary for the city council to
postpone action ON such ordinances as
those for street sprinkling and keep
ing mp cows and other live stock.
There is only one question involved,
and that is whether either would ben
eft the greatest number, and any man
of ordinary intelligence should be able
to decide either without moment S
delay. II is probable that the con-
slant deferring of such matters is
only subterfuge to escape the re-
sponsibility Of passing necessary but
sometimes unpopular laws. The
munici pal boards apparently have no
enterprise or progressiveness, and il
looks as il the one thing left for the
people to do is to wait unit, better

THE CONGRESSIONAL OUTLOOK.

lhE OONGhESSlONAh w A6OON'
(St. Louis Globe Democrat.)
There are some points to be consid-
cred by those who imagine that the
Republicans are going to be beaten in
the election for congress in 1909.
Two-thirds of the twenty-nine extra
congressman which will come in the
apportionment which goes into opera
ton in this election will be in the
North and West-that is, in the Re-
publican region. Most Of the re-
distributing Of the states which has
been done in preparation for the
elections this year has been done
by Republican legislatures. In
this latter respect the situation is
widely different from what il was ten
years ago, when the allotment based
on the census of 1890 went into effect.
OF course these two things will
count for much in the Republican
party's chances. In the presidential
and congressional canvass Of 1902,
when Cleveland and a Democratic
congress were chosen. the Republi-
cans had Democratic congressional
gerrymanders to fight in many Of the
northern and western states, and these
counted for good many of the seats
which the Democrats won in the con-
gress elected that year. All this has
been changed in 1902. The re-dis-
tricting Of the states outside of the
old slave region has been done in
vast majority of cases by Republican
legislatures, and the dominance
which was given ten wears ago to the
Democratic minority has been over
come The re-distrioting has been
made fairly in the Republican states,
and the majority party will find
that its preponderance will register
itself in the election.
But these are not the only reasons
why the chances favor the Repub-
hcans. The Republicans have the
right side and the popular side Of all
the great issues which have two
sides. On everything which the
Democrats combat the Republican,
on the Philippine government question
on the maintenance Of the army in our
new possessions and on the general
question Of OK pansion-the Democrats
are losing votes all over the country.
The Democratic attacks on the
American officers in the Philippines
are calling out rebukes from prom
inent Democratic journals all over the
country, ana these things are bound to
tell in the election. Moreover, the
Republicans are harmonious. Never
theless, they must take special pains
to poll all their votes, in order to rem
der victory certain.

Cuba today became q republic.
Some of the patriots Of the island
fought years to accomplish what the
United States has now accomplished
for them, and given them without
money and without price. Whether
the people are capable of self govern
ment, as self-government should be,
is something that remains to be seen.
The fact that the Unitel States even
now, after over 100 years of experience,
encounters many grave difficulties, is
sufficient to create doubt, to say the
least. But time will tell. There are
great many people who believe that
Cuba's only future is to become part
OF the United States. Many of the
inhabitants of the island are now
anxious to become so. and after a few
months experience in trying to run
the government, many others will no
doubt be equally as eager for the

courage that inspires the Beers to
hold out against the English at the
sacrifice of life and treasure. There

ly speaking, and their success in hold

methods of warfare more than any
thing else. The latest advices say
that they will continue hostilities.
