ERRONEOUS,

There appeared in this morning 8
Registerlan article through which the
hand OF the new telephone company
was plainly visible. This article
stated that the Retail Merchants as
socistion intended to stand by their
agreement with the new company.
The association has no agreement"
with the new company. Perhaps the
article is intended to convey the i'm
preston that Paducah's business men
are different from Business men in
other places in that the new company
expects them to pay it for service
practically as much as the old com.
pany charges for four times as many
connections, How absurd and in
credulous is the assumption of the
new company The fact of the matter
is that the business men are too smart
to be hoodw linked. They discovered
that their interests were suffering and
changed their minds, a blessed privi-
lege that the Almighty has given to
us all. But, unfortunately, the new
company is afflicted with ophthalmis,
and being able to see only one way, it
cannot change its mind. 1t would be
announcement" for it TO do so, anyway.
If anyone doubts that the business
men are dissatisfied let him see some
of them along Broadway. In his
rounds he will find the old telephone
in nine out of every ten stores, ana if
he wants to 60 farther he will find
that the old company has more than
1900 subscribers that use its telephone
exclusively, and hence cannot be
reached through the new telephone.
There are not ten business men in
Paducah without the old telephone
connection. But taen this is not
strange. Who can expect them to pay
. dollar for fifty cents worth of ser
vice? A CITIZEN.

THE JEW AND THE LAW.
A COMMUNICATIONS IN RE
sPONSE TO A RECENT UTTER
ANCE BEFORE THE GOOD
GOVERNMENT LEAGUE.
Paducah, KY, July :, 1908.

Paducah, n.y. July - lVVo'
Mr.. Editor,
Dear Sir:-If it had been the policy
of the jew to take note of every slur,
Misrepresentation and insult that has
baen heaped upon him we fear the
output OF fiction would have been
rivaled by that of controversial litera-
ture. Fortunately, throughout the
ages the jew has been the exponent of
the meek and humble spirit, and the
reading public has been spared the
acrid avalanche OF angry words.
There come occasions, however, when
even the meek must doff their humil-
ity and the lowly avenge the affront
that has been put upon their honor.
Such an occasion, Mr.. Editor, has
recently appeared in the city of Padu-
cab. The G.. q. l.. met lately at the
Broadway Methodist church, and the
Reverend Mr.. Newell spoke about the
Responsibility of the Citizen" In
his discourse he CHANGED to refer to
the violators of the law prohibiting
Sunday baseball, and delivered him.
self Of the following Philippe against
the Jews: "Why are you going 10
pull down the temple of justice ON our
heads in this land as you tore IL down
in Russia on the heads OF your own
brethren? You teach disregard for
law here and then petition the United
States government to take care Of
your brethren in Russia, where the
absence OF law and its regard have
brought their death" Despite the
rhetorical confusion psrdonable in the
heat of extempore delivery, Mr.. New.
ellis meaning is obvious. lie means
TO predicate that the jew, especially
the Russian Jew, is the sworn foe OF
law and Justice To the Jews disre-
gard of these fundamental veritics il

is purely case Of righteous retribu-
ton, Mr.. Newell maintains the An
archie trait inherent In the jew mas
Powered into its inevitable fruitage OF
riot and destruction. Presto the
Jew STANDS before the bar OF civiliza-
tion accused by the eloquent lips OF
Mr. Newell as a congonital or acquired
anarchist.
The originality of the charge some
what staggers the conventional imagi-
nation. Nay, it is uncanny to see the
gentleman in question leap blithely
over the old prejudices and ensconce
himself complscently in brand new
error nook alone. IL is incredible that
he is impelled by other than worthy
motives. We are convinced that he
loves the Jews heartily. and it is only
in the sorrow of his passion that he
regretfully stigmatizes the jew as an
anarchist.
Clearly, therefore, IL is question
OF facts, not theories. Where are Mr..
Newel's proofs that the Russian jew

"has pulled down the temple of JUS
tico on his own hoad?" Surely not
with Count Cassini or the baron Won
Sohlippenbsch. Probably Mr. Newell
has private information of his own.
For the cultured and civilized world
of Europe and America has put itself
on record as not alone absolving the
jew from all blame, but OF directly
accusing the bureaucracy and the
church Of Russia as vitality responsible
for the massacre. Has the learned
gentleman never read the statements
of Maxim Cork and Lyon Tolstoi!
Is it possible that the names OF Michael
Dsvitt, Vim. Il. Stead and hosts OF
other impartial observers have never
come to the notice of Rev. Newell in
connection with the Kischinen affair?
Or are newspapers, magazines AMI
books banished from the Methodist
parsonage Surely then it is not
wildly impossible that Mr. Newell
will soon from his pulpit oorroborate
the ritual murder charge.
Lest Mr.. Newell imagine that any
statement OF ours be merely special
pleading, we refer him for substantial
ton OF our thesis that the jew Is par
excellence law abiding TO such eminent
non Jewish authorities as were men
toned above
And Just one final word OF sugges-
ton. We advise Mr.. Newell TO make
completer study Of Jewish history.
Perhaps he will gain a better insight
into the Jewish attitude toward the
law. Or IL that be too much TO ask,
let Mr.. Newell peer into the dim re-
cesses OF his ante graduation memory
and hale out therefIom such pertinent
facts as this: That almost 1000
years ago the Jews were accused OF
having too much regard for the law.
Let him reoollect, IL he can, the for
gotten data about Paul and his anti
nomiAn movement against the jew.
Let him remember that law was a
word sacrosanct among the Jews nj
all times, ana let him know that
reverence for the law, manifested
either in universal moral principle or
local statutes. has been handed down
n, q precious heritage for untold gen
erations from father 20 son until to-
day the statistics proclaim IL that the
Jew, Of all peoples, is the most char.
acteristically law abiding. Let him
not speak IDLY or thoughtlessly Of
Jews pulling down the temple OF
justice" when he must know that
from the Jewish lips OF prophet and
seer there have posled the most fervld
and insistcnt syllabl"s for justice the
world has ever heard. And, finally,
may he be saved from tho vulgar error

SCHOOL FACILITIES NEEDED.

The report Of the superintendent of
the public schools shows that Paducan
is growing rapidly so far as her schools
are concerned, and indicates that some
steps must be taken at once to give
the people of Mechanicsburg and
Rowlandtown better school facilities.
How to do this is something the au-
thorities must themselves decide, but
the people of these respective local.
ties are entitled to larger schools, and
should get them at once. The report
of the superintendent shows that
pupils will during the coming year
have to go from Mechsnicsburg to the
schools down town. This will result
in their having to carry lunch with
them or get their meals down town,
which will be inconvenient for many
and impossible for some of them and
may keep them from school. The re-
suit of such a lack of facilities will
probably not be near SO good to those
who do 60 as If they could have their
meals regularly and go to and from
dinner as pupils do who live near the
schools. 1t will be impossible for the
pupils in remote sections who thus
have TO attend school in the heart Of
the city to 90 TO their meals in the
time given for noon recess, and in ad-
dition they will have to walk long
distances or be at an expense for car
fare. The thing is simply that better
school facilities must be provided for
these sections of the city. The prop
erty owners are called on regularly
for their quota of taxes, and there is
no way 20 evade the payment of these
taxes, no matter how few advantages
are given the people who pay them.
They are entitled to just as good
treatment as people in other parts Of
the city and should get it. 1t is pos
sible for them to get it il the proper
officials desired to give 1t, and there is
no excuse for their not getting it if
they demand it.
The same thing true of the public
school system is true of fire facilities.
Paducah needs at least one additional
fire station ana could eksily use two
more. The people of the North Side
should have better fire protection as
well as the the people of the rapidly
growing West End. Often confiagra-
tion oan gain such Roadway before the
fire department can possibly make the
run that great loss of property is en-.
tailed. This Is very unnecessary as
long as there il a way to prevent it.
With an economical, common-sense
administration OF affairs all these evils
might be corrected and the things
needed secured. The people should
demand that extravaganza be abolished
and that they be given more and larger
schools and better fire protection.

Discrimination Against Mining.

If man buvs a piece of "outside prop
rrty" in a city, and waits for it to become
a residence c-nter, he is regarded as a
shrewd investor IF another man buys
piece of mi''ing property at the edge of a
district of proven value, he is termed a
speculator. The former subdivibes his
tract, gets up boom" and succeeds in
unloading his lots at high figure to
workingmen. who build houses on the
installment plan, and afterwards lose
them by foreclosure, perhaps to the afore-
said boomer The lucky owner of the
tract gets rich, has an addition to the
city named after him, and is hailed as a
public benefactor. because he helped to
enlarge and build up the city. The owner
of the mining claims organizes a COM
pany, and sells stock to develop the
property, and manages it honestly. Be-
cause of the failure to develop a mine.
the STOCK holders, perhaps, lose money.
As iesult, the promoter is called by
such endearing terms AS "fakir," "wild-
cat speculator," Ginning shark"
NOW De honest. Is this fair way to
regard the two cases? Isn't the last trans.
action just as honest as the first? Haven't
more people been bitten in real estate
booms than in crooked mining schemes?
We contend that it is wrong and un-
just to discriminate against mining be-
cause there are some failures and some
fakirs. Mining is the very backbone of
the country's wealth. 1t is adding a
thousand million of dollars to our re-
sources every year, and the man who
seeks to wrest any part of this enormous
wealth from Mother Earth, be he miner
or promoter, is deserving of the confd-
ence and support of every good citizen.
He is a public benefactor.-Mines and
Investments.
