HELPING THE TOWN.

The administration in Padueah
has tried to kill the town by allow
ing it to remain filthy. especially the
past year. Not having succeeded II
now proposes to attempt a solar pick
us by repeating the ordinance max
ing a standing offer to exempt for
five years from taxation, all manu-
factories that locate here. The rea-
son is probably that not being com
petent TO protect the city from i'm
position. the general council will
seek to remedy evils arising from
its own inefficiency and negligence
by Withdrawing inducements that all
OF Paducah's competitors offer.
II the general council is going to
undertake to withdraw this exemp-
ton ordinance through any tender
ness, solicitude or pious considera-
ton for those concerns already here
why does it not spend some of its
time legislating TO secure better san
litation, a cleaner city. smaller IL
cense and lower tax rate?
Why does it not enforce ex
listing ordinances designed to i'm
prove public health, and cut of som'
of the official parasites that are
draining the city treasury slowly bu
surely? This will be of far more ben
eft to everybody in Paducah, manu-
facturers and others alike, than try
ing to discourage or keep out a pos
sible competitor in manufacturing o.
business. Let the general 'counei
clean up the city, make the tax rat
commensurate with the benefits en-
joyed by the public, and then some
thing will have really been accom-
plished!

other parts of the country, II cooked
his goose" as the saying is. People
were disguised. An example was
found of the popular indignation
against him, in Pennsylvania few
days ago.
Several weeks since, before he
made his attack on the president, he
visited Allentown, Pa, and delivered
q lecture. There were more people
waiting to hear him than could be
accommodated, and the management
thought a drawing card like that
was worth playing a second engage
ment. He was re-engaged, but he
insulted the president in the mean
time, and the people gave Hobson
the cold shoulder when he came
back. On the occasion OF his hrst
visit there was great rivalry among
some of the people to entertain him,
while on the second visit none could
be found who would house the cap
tain. The explanation was that their
regard for President Roosevelt inn
PEELED them to decline the honor.
He was forced to go to hotel. The
audience was very small.

seemed to have been a bright future

The port OF New Orleans. so long
without a drydock adequate to lift
any of the fleet of large steamers
that now run to that port, Is at last
to have a dock worthy Of that great
commercial center. says the Marine
Journal. The new dock will be locat-

site OF the old Good Intent drydook.
The dimensions of this dock will be

The Louisville Herald. in reply to
the malicious publications in some
of its competitors that it was about
to go under" says: "Rumors have
been put in circulation in the state
concerning the permanency OF the
Herald intended to injure this paper.
Once and for all it seems proper to
denounce these rumors as wholly
false and malicious, without any
shadow of foundation. The perma-
nency of the Herald is as thoroughly
assured as that of any newspaper in
Kentucky. II will continue to be pub
lished, and to be improved as fast
as possible" The Herald's many
friends will be pleased to know this,
as 1t is a good. reliable paper, and
fights the battles of the people
against the Kentucky and Louisville
political Democratic machines, which
seek to forever keep their hands in
the state treasury.

NOW GIVE POWERS A FAIR
TRIAL.

The conviction is growing that
Caleb Powers will eventually be &C
quilted of being an accessory to the
murder of william Goebel, a crime
it is firmly believed by all who have
heard the evidence, and who know
the accused and are unprecedented,
are certain he did not commit or
have anything to do with.
The court OF appeals in passing on
the case yesterday pointed out sew
eral mistakes and they are mistakes
made by Judge j. y. Robbins, Of
Mayfield, who, 1t was claimed at the
time, acted as a man who feared Ca
leb Powers would not be convicted.
Judge Cantrill had no business ever
trying the cases and neither did
Judge Robbins. They are too parti-
san in their disposition and tenden-
oies to make fair judges in a case
that calls for so much fairness.
Neither one is a man who can over
come his political prejudices, or is
great enough as a judge to preside
at a trial such as that of Caleb Pow
ers, which has become one almost of
national importance.
1t should be clear to the governor

Cattle Dying on the Range.

J. w. Boardman, merchant and postmaster at Payson, is visiting Globe on business. He is an old resident of the county and served a term as county treasurer.
 MT. Boardman says the outlook for the live stock interests in Tonto basin and adjacent country is very discouraging, owing to the contin- ued drouth, and the invasion of the cattle ranges by many thousands of sheep. The sheep are now re- turning north from the winter shearing stations about Cave creek and are spread out over large area of northern Gila county.
 The range in many places is bare of feed of every description and water is scarcer than it has been loI LHdIly years.
 As consequence cattle are dying in numbers, especially along Tonto, and very heavy loss seems inev- itable. Some cattlemen predicted that 50 per cent of the range cattle in that section will die. The calf crop is large, but the COWS are so weak that in many instances both the mother and offspring perish. Along lower Tonto the stench from dead animals is very offensive.
 Only early and copious rains will avail to check the mortality among range stock in Tonto basin. Globe Silver Belt.

READ IT THROUGH
'TwouId Spoil This Story to Tell it in
 the Headlines.

To use an eighteenth century phrase, this is an "o'er true tale.' Having happened in a small Vir- ginia town in the winter of 1902, it is a story very much of the pres ent. Up to short time ago Mrs. John E. Harmon, of Melfa station, Va, had no personal knowledge of the rare curative properties of Chamberlain's Cough R me y. "Last January" she says, "my baby took dreadful cold and at one time I feared she would have pneu- monia, but one of my neighbors told me how this remedy had cured her little boy and 1 began giving it to my baby at once and it soon cured her. I heartily thank the manufacturers. of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy for placing so great cure within my reach. I cannot recommend it too highly or say too much in it's favor. I hope all who read this will try it and be con- vinced as I was" For sale by the c. A. Cover Drug Co.

The machinists at Winslow are out on a strike. The night foreman of the shops was let out for having a quarrel with a waitress in the liar vey house at that point, and the boys in the shop insisted that he be put back at work. This the com pany refused to do, and the machin- ists are out. It seems that there was an officer of the Santa Fe com pany in the lunch room when the quarrel took place, and he insisted on the mans removal from the com pany's employ. It is not thought that the strike will be of long dura- tion, and the man will be given his situation back when the company realizes that there is liable to be uble.-Journal- Democrat.

A Political Philosopher.

The following thoughts" are talk en from the Plttsboro, N. c. Rec ord, published at J. B. Jones' old home, and show that "Buck," the author, is well versed in politics:
 "I have but little news as the wea ther is so bad that the people don't leave home far except on business or to get some wood. 1 have been quite feeble for some time and as the Record did not make it's appearance last week, I thought maybe you were sick too. When 1 don't have anything else to read read the Congressional Record, but can't say that it raises the members of congress in my estimation very much. 1 am inclined to think the less I know of them the more 1 think of them. They make me think of us boys when were playing marbles. One would get in the ring and the other fellow would say he was 'fat" and the other one would say I am not ''fat," and then we would have a fight. One party says the presi- dent done wrong and the other par ty says he did right. One party says you brought on a great panic, and the other party says you bank rupted the treasury and caused us to have to issue bonds. The other fellow says we redeemed the gov ernment and gave prosperity to everybody and 16-cent cotton to boot. The other fellow says that there is not a word of truth in it, that it was the demand and supply, the farmer, and the blessings of God, that gave that prosperity and your laws had nothing to do with it. And from day to day they go on quarreling as to whether the boys are "fat" or not, and yet they don't fight.
 "So, after I read and read what they say and then all the newspa- per clippings they add to these speeches, telling of the strikes, shut downs, closing of mines. etc, l must acknowledge I am not smart enough to see but one thing in it, and that is "you get out and let me in." kf
