IL is a fact that cannot be disputed
that tho police department has never

THE CHRISTMAS INFLUENCE.

Tomorrow is the birthday Of all
Christendom, its universal holy day
and holiday, and already the spirit of
Christmas ia in the air. The spirit of
love, joy and good will, the spirit of
service, and of selflessness, and of
kindly helpfulness is everywhere.
You feel its very Jingle when you en-
counter the eager, laden, jostling
crowds, hurrying hither and thither
yet with no note of impatience OF
care. You catch Its glimpse in the
merry smile and CHEEKY greeting and
see il shining from the radiant faces
of the nome-going throngs.
Because some 1900 years ago little
child came to earth and dwelt among
men, today
"Toiiipg nations pause and smile
Because they see that Christ oh lid &
face"
He who forever dignitied manhood,
ennobled womanhood, and glorified
childhood, is a silent yet powerful
force today. Those 30 blameless,
beautiful years lived on earth have
left an ever-deepening impress upon a
world otherwise callous and hardened.
He is reflected in the heaSts of hui
mspity striving to give pleasure and
to lift the worlds burdens of care.

PRESENTED RINGS
Surprise Today for Capt. Bailey
and Lieut.. Harlan.
The Police Department Ends Year
of Harmony and Excellent
Work.
JUDGE SANDERS SPOKESMAN

The police officers of Paducah held
an unusually pleasant meeting at noon
today at the city hall and when they
departed for home or their respective
beats there was general good feeling
about the city hall, and two OF the
most surprised and happy men in Pa
ducah were Captain Henry Bailey and
Lieutenant Frank Harlan. %iie
The noon meeting IL held for the
purpose of instructing men before they
start ont on their beats. While they
were all assembled today Judge ID. L.
Sanders, Of the police court, entered
and calling Captain Bailey IN an mp
propriate speech presented him with
handsome gold ring ornsmentcd with
an Elk head and the captains mono
gram from the police department.
Judge Sanders, in making the presen.
tation for the pstrolmen 10 their supe-
rior officer, stated that every police
man in the city regretted to lose Cap
tain Bailey, who in a few days be-
comes city CLERK for four years. He
voiced the sentiments OF every officer
when he said the police department
had never been more harmonious, hap
by and successful than under Captain
Bailey. He then presented the ring
from the police officers, and informed
Captain Bailey that while they all re-
GREETED to see him leave the depart
ment. they were nevertheless glad to
know that he had gone higher, and by
the votes Of the people would soon be
in charge of the city records for the
next four years.
Captain Bailey replied briefly to the
presentation. and said that he was sin
cerely sorry to leave his men. They
had all gotten along admirably IN the
past. and he and the officers, he felt,
had accomplished great deal. He
said he certainly hated to sever his
connection with the department far

Uncle Sans Ckase.

Regardless Of the outcome Of the
present negotiations respecting the
political domination Of Manchuria
it can be stated this government is
prepared to insist to the end upon
commercial privilegesfor United States
merchants in Manchuria equal to
those enjoyed by the merchants of
other nations, Russia included. The
state department has had pledges from
Russia that even in the event OF
Manchuria passing under Russian
control our commerce and trade
privileges should not suffer and 1t
will hold that our commerce would
suffer if Russian goods can enter Man
churia free while United States goods
are forced to pay duty. This attitude
of the state department will. it is be-
lieved. go far toward reassuring the
southern cotton interest which have
become alarmed at the possible loss
of their best market.
