Hoffman Atkinson, who was vice
president Of the Holland Torpedo Boat
Company. and whose will was filed for
probate recently. left all his estate to
his widow, Sophie. and the following
advice to his descendants: 81 earnest
ly hope that every descendant of mine.
both man and woman, may be taught
and acquire some one profession. trade
or handicraft during adolescence.
whereby to avoid the risk OF begging
or borrowing. No profession or trade
can be degr. ding or low as compared
with the shame of getting for nothing
the fruits OF others labors."

for, il not because the Democratic
party is friend of the trusts-provid-
ed, of course, that the trusts come
forth with the filthy lucre. Those lit
tie Democatic excursions into New
York, however. are not forgotten by
the people of Kentucky, and there
is a great deal more that is yet to
be told about them. 1t would be as
interesting to know where the cam
paign funds Of the Democratic party
in Kentucky came from as where
they went to.
When the Democratic papers in
Kentucky have "a hankerin'" to
jump on the Republican party for its
alleged friendliness to trusts, they
should remember about the $40, 900
donation Of the Bell Telephone Co.
- the Kentucky Democratic cam
paign fund.
And they should also remember
the reports about certain Democratic
state officials acting as lobbyists for
powerful corporations at the recent
session of the Legislature.

THE DOCTORS WELCOME.

The doctor is among the most indis-
pensable Of our citizens. He is loved
and respected in every community, and
while you may not need him often, be
is like the fire-arm in Texas-"When
you do need him, you need him id
bad" Socially and professionally
the doctors have our profoundest ad-
miration and respect, and it is with
unusual pleasure that today we extend
to them hearty welcome to Padu-
cab, tho Pride of the Purchase. 1t is
hoped that they will consider the city
theirs while they are here, and take it
with them when they go, if,they can't
manage to stay with us. We trust the
three days stay of the physicians
among us will be days of pleasure
as well as profit. and fully expect
that those who insist on going away
when the meeting is over will return
to Us later.

The board of education should &c
slow. School improvements are great
ly needed. but if the board will not
have money enough to pay for them, it
cannot legally authorize the begin
ming of the work. The levy this year
is less than it was last, and last year
it was not more than enough. 1t is
said that if the board spends 20, 500
for improvements, it cannot pay for
them unless il curtails other expenses.
That it can curtail any other expenses
is doubted.
The Paducah sun. [volume] (Paducah, Ky.) 1898-1906, 1902-05-07

1t is with genuine regret that the
people Of Paducah learn of the res
ignation of Mr.. r. G. Terrell, a
member of the board of education for
fifteen years. Mr.. Terrell was elect
ed by the people, who appreciated
his qualifications, many years ago,
and has since been reelected regu-
larly without asking for Enforcement.
and until year ago was treasurer Of
the board. He has the reputation of
knowing more about the affairs of the
schools than any other man in Padu-
cab, and had always been . conserva-
tive, consistent member of the board.
His advice was always something tine
board appreciated and needed, and
whenever he made a statement it was
accepted as unquestionably as the rec
ords themselves. In the retirement of
Trustee Terrell the board of education
loses one of its pillars, if not its main
stay, and it is the general opinion,
without regard to politics, that it will
be a long time before such another
trustee is found. II expressions heard
on all sides are indicative of anything,
Mr.. Terrell has the gratitude of the
best people Of Paducsh for his excel
lent and loyal service in advancing
the schools of Paducah for the past
fifteen years.

A GREAT BUSINESS LESSON.

Out of the death of Gerhard Mennen
comes lesson in advertising. II is
peculiarly American, because nowhere
in the world has advertising become
so necessary to the concern that wants
to prosper as in the United States.
They are just waking up to the
value of printers ink in England, and
they haven't caught the motion yet
The English prejudice against public
ity is hard to overcome.
Mr.. Mennen made a powder. 1t is
more than likely that your barber has
sprinkled your face with it times
without number, and millions Of
babies have stopped crying because
Mr.. Mennen was IN business.
Ii is one thing 70 manufacture a
worthy article or sell good goods. 1t
is another to awaken public interest
in and appreciation of them, and many
a man who knew how to do the one
thing failed because Of his ignorance
of the other.
Mr.. Mennen was Of the opinion that
advertising would make a market for
his goods, and so he bought great
deal of printers ink. He didn't have
much money ct the start, but pluck
enough to accomplish almost any.
thing.
He was before the people so often
and so universally that his persistence
became an advertisement in Itself
Menn-n's face, without a word of
comment in newspaper, would have
been an advertisement. People ae,u.
ally feel acquainted with number of
persons whose portraits are associated
with American goods.
There are concerns in this country
that would pay a million dollars spot
cash for the popularity that belongs to
any one OF those faces, and they can't
buy it except in tine way Mennen
bought it.
Mr.. Mennen lived to see money roll
ing into his Golfers; lived to enjoy
much of the fruits of his labor; lived
to do great deal of good, and behind
him he left fortune of $1,000, 900,
and a name famous in the commercial
world.
Altogether it constitutes a monu-
ment to the efficacy of American adj
vartising. st. Louis Chronicle, April

DEMOCRACY AND TRtsTs.

The Democratic papers continue to
berate the Republican party for the
latter's alleged friendliness to trusts.
The reason of this is that'the Republi.
cans do not seek to impair or destroy
commercial prosperity BY making war
on everything the Democratic papers
are disposed to call "trnsts. The
Democrats have reached stage when
they call every big combination of
capital a trust. They do it because
they know it is not trust, and there
is no way to do away with it. II the
ignorant are made TO believe such
things are trusts, however, and the
party in power is not doing anything
to break them up, it may mean votes
for the Democratic party. Their plan
is very simple. They call something
trust and begin upbraiding the
Republicans for not anpihilating It,
The Republicans do not annihilate it
because it is not trust, and the DEM
ocrats then exultsntly declare that the
Republicans are protecting trusts.
Only the other day one of the free.

A young lady. now a resident OF MIL
waukee. but who at one time lived
in Waukesha, met a young man whose
devotion to her was one OF uncom-
mon order. Whenever he saw her
on the street all thoughts OF business
were Immediately banished from his
mind, and the time never seemed to
fly so quickly as when spent in the
fair ones company. Unfortunately.
however, he was extremely nearsight-
ed, and could recognize the object OF
his alteration only when she came
within close range.
Whether 1t was bit OF foresight on
her part or not, is not known. but one
summers day this young lady pur-
chased a silk parasol OF a brilliant
emerald hue. The young man had
cause for great rejoicing. for wherever
his lady love went this vivid green
radiance went with her. and many
were the interviews this bit OF finery
brought about
One sweltering day the young man
thought he espied the signal which
revealed her whereabouts. 1t was
some three or four blocks away and
he started for it on a .un. He called
her by name. but without avail. which
only caused him to redouble his ef-
forts. The perspiration was running
down his face, when he stopped before
a haring green poster on a billboard.
which he had taken for the naraFoI M

1t is the present system of street
sprinkling, such as it is, that proves
"a vast feeder to the revenues of the
water company, private corpora
tion.'' Residents have to pay about
SO year simply for the water they
use to sprinkle the street, and they
have to buy hose and do it themselves.
A system Of street sprinklng to be
paid for by assessment would be done
by contract, and the contractor would
have to secure the water. He could
pump it out of the river, or, if he
preferred, get it from the water COM
pany. That would be matter for him
10 decide, as he would have to pay the
bills. The assessment for sprinkling. it
appears, should properly fall on the
property owner, JUST as the insurance
and taxes do. His remedy is in in
creasing the rent in proportion, just
