DR.. Irwin Thompson, president 81
the X. l. T. league, stated this morn
ing that meeting OF the league
would be held Sunday. but that he
really could not tell II the meeting
would be held in Paducah. Cairo or
elsewhere. says the Paducah Sun.
You may say for me, DR. Thomp-
son explained, thai | really do not
care whether the meeting is held in
Cairo or Paducah. but the reason
named Paducah as the point Of meet
ing Is because on the face of the re-
turns Paducah is the winner OF the
pennant and under the constitution
the final meeting should be held in
Paducah. Cairo and Paduach, or
rather Cairo. is contrasting the pen
ant and this matter viii have to be

Plea for the Liquor Men.

mayoralty election for your city the
Liquor Dealers Association did wrong
In combining for particular candldate,
have YOU not done that body an injustice?
Tense Of the liquor traffic, but sun
wish to SEQ tho scales evenly held.
think / might have said what you have
declared, because I regard the liquor
business as improper and inimical 10 the
nublic we'll being. But If | understand
the position of your paper. 1t REGARDS that
business as ono in which a good cltlzen
has legal and moral right TO engage,
and that those In that business have as
much legal and moral right to combine
in protecting and promoting 1t as any
other class have to organize to help an
employment yielding them livelihood.
For example, as much right as carpen-
tiers, or bricklaEers, or blacksTlths, or
dry goods merchants. or physicians, Would
have. Now, suppose carpenters hrlck-
LAYERS, backsmiths, dry goods merchants
or physicians found their business singled
out for attack, and threatened with OK
Termination. as tho liquor business has
been, could you blame them for comoln-
ing and giving their influence to man
supposed to be favorable to their cause!

dealers IN the recent maSOTdlly- GpII'S''1

fable only as their business Is un1usti-

The Times Dispatch has not said that
the liquor dcale.s OF Richmond had no
right to combine. "All things are lawful,
but all things are not expcdient.' ,The
liquor dealers had right to combine
and did combine. but the people also had
a right to combine In opposition and
smash tho scheme Of the liquor dealers,
There was no fight In this city, as has
been often stated, on the legitimate
lIouor traffic. All that the community
asked was that the liquor men obey
the law. Why they should have thought
It expedient to run private ticket we
do not know But we do know that 1t Is
IN Democratic and mlschievous for the
people engaged in any special line OF
business to attempt to control the gov
ernment in their own interest, and 80
long as tho spirit Of Democracy Is pre-
served in the hearts of the people all
such attempts, II they be exposed In
time. will be prevented by the people and
the forces of the faction routed.

A sign Of the Times.

4 New York advertising concern is
sending out circular showing the In
crease IN the wealth of tho South be-
tween 1850 and 1903. Some Of the figures
are thus given:
Tbe valuo of pig iron increased FROM
sse7oOO,ooo to $500 100000
Coal increased from 5000, 900 tons to e.
0Jo,o,D tons
Carital invested In cotton mills In
creased from ST 100000 to $20o,0O0'o0o.
Capita invested in manufacturing IN
creased from s257,0oooOo to $1,000 900.
value of manufactured products In
creased from $1,000, 900 to $1,000, 100000.
Tho value of cotton crops increased
from ssls,oooooo to s625, 100000
Value of all agricultural products In
creased from $500 900. 600 to S1,7oo, 100000.
we do not know that these figures are
accurate. but they are doubtless approXh-
n1ately correct. We reproduce them, not
so much by way Of exploiting the fig
ures as the fact that a,Northern adver-
Using concern is exploiting them by way
of inducing advertisers in the North TO
patronize Southern newspapers. This adj
vertising concern has no special inter-
est in the Souths progress and pros
ycrity, but recognizing that the South
is now the growing section Of the coun-
try. It is satisfied that this Is the great
section for exploitation. and is directing
;tr energies 'nccOrdingly.
The South is a fine field for advertisers
and the way for these advertisers to
reach Southern trade is through the
Southern newspapers. Time was when
these papers had a very small clrcula-
ton among their own people, but in this
day every Southern family has is news
paper and the newspaper is family in
situation.
1t IS success that succeeds. The South
is now the most successful section of
tic country, and Is rapidly growing by
its CIVIL accretion. There could be no
rcl,cr assurance Of the fact than that
n live advertising agency In New York
Is surging its customers at the North
to seek the Southern trade through the
Southern press.

Temperance Sentiment.

Starting with the recent primary cleo
ton in Richmond and the defeat OF the
Liquor Dealers Association the Roanoke
Evening World proceeds to discuss Judge
Mann's candidacy for the Democratic
nomination for Governor. its bearing upon
the temperance question, the attitude of
the Democratic party towards the tenn
perance question, and the probable course
of the liquor dealers of the State should
that question become a leading issue IN
the next State campaign. Our contempo-
rary says that "the aggressive dis
position Of the liquor association is un-
! doubtedly tending to organize a public
sentiment that is hostile to them" and
/ that there Is growing opinion that
( tho votes Of these associations, MS such,
X will not be bound by party ties"
1t further says that the Republican
i party is even now promising itself some
hope for success in the contest for Gov
crnor, based upon the fact that If Judge
Mann should be the nominee, the LIQUOR
vote. or very large majority of 1t,
will be given to the Republican candidate
But our contemporary adds that the tenn
perance sentiment In Virginia has made
rapid strides In recent years. and that
many believe that If there should be a
test OF strength between the temperance
element and the saloon element. the
saloons would be voted out
Be that as II may, The Times Dispatch
thinks that II would be a great blunder
from every point Of view TO force the
