Take Over Well Established Business
Built Up by Mr.. Cochran.

A new shoe firm succeeding to an
old and we'll established business is
the Cochran Shoe Company, just or
ganized with Mr.. W. Z. Cochran and
Arch II. Sutherland ss stockholders.
Mr.. Cochran has been in the shoe
business fer number Of years and has
built up a splendid business by con
Quoting a shoe store that would be a
credit to city of 100, 900 people or
more--a store to which all Paduoah-
ans can point with pride.
Mr.. Sutherland is one of the most
popular of the younger business men
in the city, is a man of fine ideas and
ability, and that the new concern will
take the rank fitting the efforts OF its
owners goes without saying.
The Cochran Shoe Store has always
handled nothing but the best In the
shoe line, always representing the best
houses and ma nufacturers in the
country, and the new firm will con-
tinue to handle the same lines
1t is boast Of all Psducahans that
her business men are in the van with
the most progressive merchants in
the country and this remark applies
with fitting application to the Coch-
ran Shoe Store and its genial proprie-
tors. The Sun bespeaks for the gen.
tlemen the patronage their efforts de-
serve and predicts for them the great
est measure Of success.

Gated at 405 Broadway and Messrs.

pleased to have the citizens Of Padu.

THE COW QUESTION.

An afternoon contemporary discov-
ers that a vote on the COW question
will probably not be legal. Perhaps
1t will not, but If we understand the
object the vote Is not intended to mean
the passage of law prohibiting COWS
from running at large, but is to le
simply a method of ascertsining wke-
Their or not the people favor such a
law II they do it is presumed the
council will pass it. The vote is SIM
ply to indicate to our able Legislators
what is best for the people, rs they
don't seem to know. II was always

The Sparrow club Of Eisenham. Es-
sex, England, formed of fifteen farm
ers, have destroyed $1,000 old sparrows
during the past ten years. The mem
bers pledged themselves TO kill be-
tween September and May as many
sparrows as they had farm acres.
This year only one member had failed
to keep this pledge, and he, being sew
enty short, has paid the customary for
felt OF penny a head on seventy I'M
slain sparrows.

rather perplexing just why vote
hsd to be taken on the COW question.
bat il we have a set Of lawmakers
who can't figure out proposition so
simple it is doubtless a pardonable
offense to wait until the people have
spoken. In other places, where it is
presumed they have higher grade OF
Legislators, at least is hoped they have,
the COW question is no question at all
Realizing that il is best for the whole
people to keep cows up, they are made
to keep them up, even in the country,
and the few who desire to turn them
out are compelled to yield to public
demand and keep them up, just as a
person would be made to chain up q
vicious dog or keep of his neighbours
premises IL he wasn't wanted. But
our legislators, not knowing what is
best for the people, decided simply to
have the people go to the polls and in
dictate their wishes. They were prob
ably induced to take this step by the
fact that the assessment shows that
there are four cows assessed in the
entire city, and they did not desire
TO put the owners Of these COWS to
the trouble of keeping hem up with
out first having the people vote on
it. Or they may believe that the
people Of Psducsh are so unfamiliar
with the sight Of a COW that it is 3
treat to them to see them perambu-
lating the street or rummaging about
in somebody's yard, and are unwill-
ing to deprive them of the edifying
spectacle without vote. At any rate
an honest confession is good for the
soul, and il our city fathers will just
always allow the people to speak
before they act hereafter we may
have better times. 1t may be little
more costly, but it will be better
than going back into the third class.

LOOK TO THE LEADERS.

Speaker Henderson's rebuke to the
men in his party who are prone to
stray of after false god seems to be
merited. 1t has been proven in the
past that such men never gain any
thing, and the party seldom loses. ,
few Republicans danced of to the tune
of 10 to a few years ago, but the
party won a sweeping victory just the
same, and those who haven't come
limping back into the party are dead.
The Republican party is advised by
some Of the best statesmen and the
most intelligent men in the world.
Their ability as we'll as their integrity
are such that no fair and no sensible
man can consistently question them
or impute improper motives to their
actions and advice. We know that it
is very popular these days, when a
man does not agree with some other
men, to charge him with having been
bought or with having some selfish
motive in what he does. The Repub-
hcan party, however, is well and
faithfully guided, and its members
should have confidence in the leader
ship and feel that whatever their adj
yisors advocate is best for the greatest
number, as it has always proven to
be in the past. The Republican party
has not been tried and found wanting.
It has been tried and found true. 1t
has made and kept this prosperous
country. It will continue 90 do SO as
long as the rank and file listen to the
men who have made the party what
it is and guieed it in its destinies. II
they stray of, however, they are like
ly to cause discussion, just as is likely
to result in Iowa today.
Speaker Henderson, who refused the
congressional nomination in Repub-
iican district, did so, he declares, be-
