SECOND THOUGHT
INDUCES TEXAS LADIES TO 40
CEPT MRS. RooSEvELT'S
HANDKERCHIEF.

Dallas, Tex, Feb l2-After Q night
OF quiet and deliberation, the officers
OF the Columbia reception have decid-
ed to rescind the order, passed at the
mass meeting in the Elks' club yester-
day, to exhibit Mrs. Rosavelt's cotton
handkerchief gift at "a peep show
during the carnival,st 10 cents a peep,
and then return it to Mrs. Roosevelt.
In assigned statement Mrs. ]. s.
Witwer, president. and Mrs. J. O.
Weaver, vice president, this evening
sought to neutralize the discourteous
criticism and action of yesterday, but
hardly helped the situation. They
say the handkerchief will be kept aud
sold to the highest bidder at the car
nival, which is to open tomorrow. As
the Mrs. jefferson Davis lace hand
kerchief, also, is to be auctioned of,
the keenest interest has been aroused
as to the relative amounts the two
souvenirs will fetch.
There is still much friction and ill
feeling among the women identified
with the carnival Mrs. Kate Cabell
Ourrie, president of the local chapter
OF the Daughters of the Confederacy'
prints this evening an appeal to the
Daughters of the Confederscy, and the
Sons of Confederate Veterans, calling
their attention to the coming sale of a
beautiful souvenir handkerchief, be-
longing to Mrs. varnia Jefferson Da-
Wis, embroidered with her monogram,
and sent by her to be disposed Of for
the benefit of the Dallas Free Kinder
agrten Fund. She asks them to make
the sale of this souvenir notable.
Nothing is said about Mrs. Roosevelt's
handkerchief.

ROOTS SPEECH.
(Globe- Demoorat.)

(QiODt- DtuOcfhts
Secretary Roots words on the negro
problem in his speech the other night
at the dinner OF tine Union League
club in New York naturally attract
great deal of attention throughout the
country. He pointed out that two Of
the war amendments, those relating
to negro suffrage, had been nullitied,
and that the endowment OF the black
man with the ballot had been fail
ure in the South. The attempt to up
lift the negro in that way may have
to be dropped, he intimated, and some
other method adopted. He also point
ed out that though President Roose-
welt had made fewer appointments Of
negroes to federal office than had any
other recent Republican president,
more opposition had been made by the
South to what it has called the presi-
dents negro policy.
Here is a matter of great interest TO
the country at the present time. II
cannot be denied that the negro prob
lem is more troublesome now than il
has been recently in many years.
The South is obiecting to the presence
Of negro office.holders at the presi-
dents receptions, although it did not
do this in the case of the receptions
of Cleveland, Harrison and Mckinley,
in which negroes were in attendance.
Thers is a spirit coming TO the front
in the South which cannot possibly do
that section any good, and may do it
considerable harm. The thing that
Southern men accepted in the White
House functions in the days Of Cleve-
land, Harrison and Mckinley cannot
be objected to with now any consis-
tency or sense. Moreover, such obiec-
tions as chance to be made will not
have the slightest influence on the
president or his party.
II will be noticed that all the
bloody shirt waving which is being
done at the present time is by the
Democrats. or course there is not
much likelihood that the scheme to
boycott the presidents receptions will
amount to anything. The number of
Southern men who will stay away
from those functions who have a
chance TO go TO them will be small in
any case, and their absence will not
be noticed. There will be a howl in
some of the Southern papers about an
alleged attempt to put the negroes
above the whites and to bring black
domination in the South, but that
pretense will Dot deceive even the per-
sons making 1t. The South and its
party will lose if it brings the negro
issue to the front in the campaign Of
1904.

that TO all intents and purposes ii was

HARD FIGHT AHEAD.

There will be time enough to discuss
the kind Of material to use in perma-
nently improving the streets Of the
city when IL lie settled that such i'm
provements are to be made. The first
fight that has to be made and won In
Paducah and McCrscken county to Sc
cure improvements is against this graf
ters. A graft may be legitimate bus
iness transaction, and CRATER an
honest man, but whatever he ia. he is
credited with putting mp good fight
when his interests are In jeopardy.
1t is time to realize in Paducsh how
ever that there is a strong upderour-
rent against making permanent i'm
provements. II is not always psroepti-
BILE on the surface but it sometimes
msnifests itself in party primaries,
elections and in the proceedings Of Va
rious boards. Those who are palling
against these things are men who
have their hands in the pockets Of the
taxpayers; men to whom the lack Of
improvements Of various kinds in Pa
ducah means thousands of dollars
year, and who are not going Ito sdvo-
cate anything that will knock them
out Of easy money. Many Of them have
prestige, and are shrewd schemers who
do their work stealthily, but we'll.
This element has got to be downed be-
fore there can be any extensi We i'm
provements here. ,..-,s
These men do not care anything
about the welfare Of the people or the
progress of the city so long as our lack
OF improvements means money ito
them. They gets good thing out Of
it, and mean to keep it if they can.
They are going to devise every posi-
Bile scheme to defeat improvements
that affect their gratis. They have
political influence and often men In
Office are found allied with them DO.
cause of their political prestige, and
do sll in their power without being
found out, to help them. These
cliques must be snnihilated before I'VE
can make even preliminary arrange
ments for public improvements, and
after they are whipped, the unpro-
eressive, rural element in the commu-
nifty must be educated to modern con-
yeniences, the use Of sanitary sewerage
and the necessitv of keeping COWS and
other varieties of farm adornments of
the streets. The shortsighted people
who are unwilling to spend lump
sum for permanent improvements, but
never protest against the wsnton
waste OF thousands Of dollars year
that never yield the city particle of
benefit, but which would be saved by
permanent Improvements, must be ed
ucated or subjugated, and then we
shall be ready TO talk about whether
to use on our streets asphalt, brick or
simply mud, as we are now.
1t is somewhat encouraging to know
that there is number Of improve
ment projects now under consid-
GRAFTON in Paducsh, including one far
batter streets and one for a city hos
pital, but who knows what powerful
influence may now be hard at work
trying to undermine them, and who
knows but that they may 90 the way
of many others, be dragged along by
the politicians until they are worn out
and aban toned, and the people lie
none the wiser? We hope they will
be spared this fate but fear it Will

of Carpenters and Joiners of America
No. 1403. The scale of wages was
fixed at meeting on Saturday after
noon the same to go into effect March
l. at which time the charter will be
closed. The union will meet every

for the defendant.
The following disposition was made
IT the criminal calendar: The cases
against Gustav Heth for forgery and
William Lynch for larceny were nolled.
The case against Jacob Karg for assault
and battery. an appeal from justice
court, has been settled. The cases of
Peter Kohn, Edward Hays and Herman
Schmidt who escaped from the Jail and
have not been recaptured can of course
not be tried. This leaves six criminal
cases for trial as follows: F. w. Step
henson for murder, and E. W. Stephen
son for assault with intent to kill and
murder; whether this case will be tried
depends On the outcome Of the murder
trial. The case against Adolph I'll.
Hartwig, assault with intent to do
great bodily harm, which was tried st
the last September term but ended with
a disagreement of the jury. The case
against Franklin S. Burr, forfeiture of
