The Mayor Of Louisville is now a
car. The Ripper bill " has passed
and been signed by the Governor. II
empowers the mayor Of first class cit
les to remove members of the Boards
of Public Safety and of Public Works
at will, which means that if they do
not do what he wants them to 20, he
will put in someone else. Thus the
jobs-the living and welfare--of hun
dreds OF policemen, firemen and 9th
ers are left in the hands Of one man,
who can make beggars of them in one
day-or a few hours. This bill was
passed by a legislature elected by a
party that prates about its being a
friend to the common people," Thus
do the Democrats. by creating a prac-
teal monarchy in the metropolis of
X kentucky, demonstrate their idea of
democracy.

: THE WEATHER.
Fair tonight and Saturday.


Farmers might profit by the advic
given them by great many tobaocon
lists to keep their tobacco until the.
cAn sell it at their own price. Tobac
90 will not spoil easily.
The average tobacco grower is usu
ally in such circumstances that the
wolf does not hover about his door,
and he can afford to wait. All this
rot about the trust ana about relief
fz6m legislation, should be taken with
. grain Of salt.
There is no noticeable falling off in
the consumption OF tobacco Some Of
these days the present sver-supply,
which is in reality the cause of low
prices, will be exhausted. Then those
who manufacture tobacco will have
to buy from those who raise it. When
the trusts and foreign buyers use up
what they now have on hand, they
must buy more or go out of business.
They'll buy, and they'll pay what
those who have it TO sell ask, or do
un1thout. Bills in congress may help
tbs grower by creating a new market,
bat not much.
Legislation will not force the great
buyers Of tobacco to buy. 1t may en-
able some of the "small-fry," by tax
ing on the tar, to buy and go into the
manufacturing business independent.
", but this would place them in COM
pefition with the trusts, with their
unlimited resources, their costly ma
chinery and immense plants How
many would care to run the risk?
The thing to do 10 to let those who
prepare tobacco for consumption use
up what they have. They may have
. monopoly in the manu-
faoture and sale of the manufactured
product, but tho grower has a monop-
oily in raising 1t. After all, the man
ufaot uring trusts will in the long run
be dependent on the growers trust.
when they use what they have ON
hand. they must have more. They
can't get along without it, aud won't
They'll need It and pay good price

DOG Finds Pocket Book.

"Shep," the devoted canine
friend and constant attendant of
little Agnes hopper, with whom
he has many a romp, was the
means of restoring lost pocket
book to its owner on Friday. The
dog picked up the pocketbook some
place 'on the streets of Rising Sun,
and carried it in his mouth to his
little mistress. The child not
knowing it's value and thinking it
belonged to one of her little play
mates, gave it to Paul 'Effing, who
carried it to his home. The con-
tents, consisting of checks, notes,
etc., revealed it to be the property
of VIM. Gillespie, of Principle,
who had been in town on business
that day but was not aware of the
loss he had sustained until apprised
of the fact by Mr.. Effing, to whom
Paul had given the valuable find.
