These sort of things are very I'M

drastic things have to be done in
some cases.
There has never been enough at
tention paid to health in McCrscken
county. The city of Paducah itself,
with its 10000 inhabitants, has had
no board Of health for about two years
and it begins to look as IL the people
of the county are Likewise without
protection. The streets, cutters, al
leys, yards and even some of the
public buildings themselves in the
city are often in the most I'M san
itary state imaginable, ana there
is no aggressive board to champion
the right of the people to pro-
lection from such disease breeding
We need visit from the
officials Of the state board of health, and
need il badly.

TILLMANIsM MUST GO.

Tillmanism is doomed. The press Of
the country is almost unanimous in
its demands that the lawless faction
be overthrown in South Carolina. The
Lexington Herald, Democrat, says;
1.-THE reign of the Tillmsn influence
in South Carolina has been reign of
violence and lawlessne SIS, OF denuncia.
tion and blsckguardism. The public
meetings have been Genes of turbu-
lenoe, disorder and shameless abuse.
No one could become a candidate with
ontexposing himself 20 every form OF
false accusation, to personal attack and
to unfairness at the ballot box. Sena-
tor Tillmsn is himself bully and
blackguard-sndb boasts of his freedom
from the ordinary restraints held dom
insnt in public or senatorial debate
He despises the proprieties of debate
either on the hastings or in the SEN
ate; he ira mples CONTEMPORARY
upon the amenities OF personal inter-
course among public men, and habit
ually and proudly violates all the
rules of decency and fairness in his
public life. His followers have close
ly followed his example, until politi-
cal discussion in that state has almost
degenerated into lnexcusable denun-
citation and nauseatiDg blackguardism
Violence rules and lswlessness is a
claim for advancement. Tillmsnism
is the most vulgar regime America has
ever witnessed in any state; it is even
more vulgar-thouRh not as dishonest
-as the reign of TAmmany under
Tweed-it is as indefensible as the re-
cent Ames orgies in Minneapolis.
The evil of such a regime is not con-
fined TO South Carolina-ihe entire
south is hurt by him and his followers
and their modes OF public action. In
the east, west and northwest he is
held up as the one frank, outspoken,
typical southern statesman; the only
real representatives of the states that
formed the Confederacy His speech
es are republished and circulated
broadcast. His coarse sayings are
placsrded everywhere and his senti-
ments charged to be the true senti-
ments of the southern people. The
harm thus done Is incalculable. OF
course, public violence, constant de-
nunciation on the hastings, the coarse
and violent conduct of public men
must permeate society and gradually
affect private life and private habits
and violence BECOMES general and the
settlement of disputes by arms be-
comes respectable. In such times the
revolver takes the place of litigation
and fights are substituted for pescea-
BILE settlement.
"We deeply regret this unfortunate
condition of affairs in that proud and
noble state and pray she may enamel
pate herself from such rule"
