very valuable.
He became governor Of the state of
New York, whose immense commercial
activities, vast population and other Gle.
ments make its chief magistracy an ex-
eellent school for the duties of the pres.
idency itself. No one would have

of the United States but for his expert.
enee and services as governor of New
York.
~"He became assistant secretary of the
navy, chosen for that place by President
Mckinley-and il was a choice compelled
by the overwhelming weight of merit,
and nothing else. This important post
he held during that serious period when
the war with Spain was approaching;
and it is a matter of common knowledge
that much of our preparedness on sea
for that conflict was due to the far
sighted and informed work of Assistant
Secretary Roosevelt Few men know as
much about the navy and its needs as
President Roosevelt. On the outbreak
OF the war he became second in command
Of the famous regiment of Rough Rid
ers. He declined the first place upon
the ground that he was not sufficiently
informed and must first learn an action
thoroughly characteristic of him. His
conduct from the moment he first en-
listed until his regiment dishanded is a
matter of common knowledge and of
common pride to all Americans. BY ac-
tusl work in the field. supplemented |
by painstaking and exhaustive study, he |
has become better informed upon tbs |
army of the United States than any |
other man in the republic. with the pos
sible exception of Secretary Root and |
one or two general officers and he looks |
upon both army and navy not so much |
as instruments of war as guarantees of
peace.
Finally, he became vice-president,
and, by the sad circumstances of fate,
succeeded to the chief magistracy itself |
This bald recital of facts needs no COM
nent. In birth, education, familiarity |
with every section of the country, in
raining. study and actual experience, no
nan in public life today in this or any
'ther country approaches his broad and
borough preparation for the great sta
ion he fills"

The newly organized board of health
in Paducah certainly did not start out
under very encouraging conditions. Tn
first request it made of the city-the ap-
pointment Of more sanitary ofhcers--was
turned down. The most obvious thing
about the present administration is that
it cares nothing about public heath.
The board Of public works claims that
il served two formal notices ON the
mayor to prevent garbage being dumped
down in the lower parts of the city, anu
vet with 26 OF more policemen at his
disposal. the mayor allowed the foul, un'
heathful practice to 60 on all summer, OF
until il became so unbearable that citi
zens made a vigorous protest Tuesday
night before the council. The board OF
health has our best wishes, but it also
has rocky road before TO-

BOARD OF HEALTH.
DR.. J. d ROBERTSON ELECTED
PRESIDENT AT Yesterdays
SESSION..

The board Of health aid not finish
Organizing yesterday afternoon ut the
city hall, but discussed the sanitary
condition of the city and the con-
clusion reached was that the condi-
ton is very bad. DIR. J. d. Robertson
was reelected president of the board,
and the secretary will be elected at
subsequent meeting. The board asked
for more sanitary inspectors, but the
board of almermen turned down their
request last night.
The matter of sanitation has been
bothering the health authorities for
the past several years and since the
board had been reoresnize steps will
be taken to better the service and II
may mean the doing away with sani-
tary inspectors. Here is what one
member stated yesterday after the
organization Of the board was effected;
II don't believe you can get good
results from sanitary inspectors. They
work diligently fc- a while but their
energy soon laRs. This l have OF
served personally, and my idea is to
10 away with them, pay for two gar.
bage dump carts and work them. The
citizens some time get small notice
to clean up and maybe the officer will
return sometime within seversl weeks
to see II his orders have failed, but l
have heard of no warrants ever being
issued for failure to comply with the
sanitary ordinance. If the inspector
will quit leaving so many notices and
secure warrants, this will DO better,
but l think it is an unnecessary ex.
pense on the city the way the inspect
ors have been working"

A TRUE ESTIMATE.

United States Senator Albert j. Bev-
eridge, of Indiana, has in this weeks
Saturday Evening Post an able and en-
tertaining article on our presidents, and
on President Roosevelt in particular.
Recognizing the absolute trustworthi-
ness Of the article, the Post, while not a
political journal, publishes it, and it
should be read by every citizen of the
United States.
Senator Beveridge says many good
things, but he says particularly of Pres
ident Roosevelt
'There is one thing about the presi-
dent and his career that, to those who
believe in Providence, seems almost prov
idential:
In birth, training and sympathies he
is the most national of our presidents.
His father was a northern man.
"Iis mother was a southern woman.
"He was educated and raised in the
east.
His early manhood was spent in the
west.
Thus he understands the people of
the east by ancestry, education and
rearing. r.t
And he understands the people Of
the west by actual contact and pecu-
liarly vivid sympathies.
with this foundation, recall now his
extraordinary training already mention
ed.
Immediately after his graduation
from college he became member of the
New York legislature, where his inces-
SAINT efforts for whatever was right and
against whatever was wrong were so eff
iective that the attention of the nation
was drawn TO him.
lie took up the work of practical pol
itics IN one OF the wards of New York,
and succeededi he attended national
conventions as a delegate from his own
state for nearly twenty years, and in
each convention was factor that com
PEELED consideration and respect.
"As the head OF the civil service com
mission his sleepless activity for a pure
public service became the subject of uni
versal note and comment. In this posi-
tion he became practically acquainted
with just how the government is run and
just how ii ought to be run.
"As the head of the police commission
OF the city OF New York he became ia
miliar with all the peculiar conditions Of
municipal government; and in a country
where cities are 50 numerous and so
large, this knowledge on the part of a
president, ii not Necessary, is at least

FACTS OF THE ~RoBBER TARIFFS

From the n. Y. Press)
The leading New York Democratic
paper would now have all issues ig-
nored except the 'robber tariff" The
American people are once more discov-
cred to be groanins under the oppres.
siye burden of the Dingley law. They
are paying more for their bread and
butter than they can earn. The fapmers,
perhaps, are doing well, selling their
crops at good prices, but the general
public is ON the verge of starvation.
What is the explanation of the Dem
ocratic calamity bowler of the fact
that when there was no "robber tariff
the savings bank deposits fell in this
country from sl,747 ,936.2sO in 1894,
whereas under the "robber tariff they
have risen to more than 5000 900 900
nowi II the people are getting poorer
and poorer because they have to pay
more for their cost of living than they
have been able TO increase their earn
ings, how were the savings bank de-
positors of New York alone able to in
crease their deposits by s55.Oo0,Ooo
more ON June 30. 1904, than they were
on June 80, 1908,
How is It that there are in New
York and New England today more
savings bank deposits (about two bill
lions) than there were in the whole
country in 1894 lone and three-quarters
billions)i
Since the Democratic organs must be
able TO read and write, to multiply and
divide, add and subtract, they must
know that this nation is richer than il
ever was before, and that the people
