ton are disappearing in so many ways
that the future relations Of country
and city are full of hopeful interests
You can ring mp the farmer of to-
day and find that he is abreast with
the current news and that he has it in
printed detail, thanbs to the rural de-
livery carrier. Americans are the best
farmers in the world, have the best
appliances for their business and pur-
sue it with the highest degree Of in
telligence and enterprise. The cities
are reaching for them and they are
reaching for the cities, and the pros
pect is full of agreeable possibilities.
The farmers aud the city residents
in this section are not far behind
other places ana sre far ahead Of
many. MoCraoken county is building
up rapidly. We already have the tele-
phones, the steam railways, and the
rural free delivery and there is now
project that promises every success
for electric transit through one CT the
richest and most populous sections of
the country. 1t is e good thing for u.s.
as well as the farmer.

MEMPHIS ENTERPRISE.

The city of Memphis is making the
most rapid growth of any city in the
south. Persons competent TO form an
estimate about such matters, predict
that before 1920, the population Of
that city will exceed that of Louis.
Vile. Property and rents are at pres
ent higher there than in Louisville
but this does not deter the rush OF
new people to Memphis.
To what can Memphis point as the
attraction that is so rapidly adding to
its population? To its excellent water
supply and fine sewerage system. In
other words, to the steps it has taken
TO better its sanitary condition. Its
compulsory use of sewers after they
have been provided, has been the
means of placing the city among the
list Of healthy cities of the country.
Contrast this with the fact that only
25 years ago. 1879, it was inflicted
with the worst epidemic of yellow
fever ever known in the United
States.
What effort is Paducah making to
better its sanitary condition? How
many people within the sewerage dis.
triot neglect or refuse TO make use of
il? How much sewerage extension
could the city make with the money
it Is considering putting into parks,-
parks that are not needed and would
give no citizen anything that he or
she can't enjoy now free Of charge
Wallace park provides grass, air
water, shsde-snd il 10 as free as il
the city owned il, and is doubtless
kept much better than it would be if
the city owned it. Why not pay more
attention to sewerage and sanitation
and let the park question go awhile?
Why not take steps to improve the
sanitary condition of Paduoah and
make the health of the people better,
thus possibly saving them a trip to the
cemetery, if not on their own account,
then on account Of some friend or rela-
tive? Why fool with the park quss-
ton when if the city is not cleaned up
and kept clean, we may die before we
ever need a chance TO go TO park
Think about these things Mr. Mayor,
and other officials

Mr.. SEBOLT HERE

the Pittsburg coal combine, arrived

Hotel lsgomarsino to remain here
several days BE comes in connection
with the combines entering the Pa
ducsh trade, but had nothing this
morning to give out. Mr.. sebolt has
charge Of all the combines large tow
boats and is we'll known here, often
coming to Padusch on business.
The name Of the tug to be sent here
by the coal combine for hsrbor work is

to come TO Paducah has aroused a
great deal Of interest here and the
effect on the coal business is expected
to be good for the genefal public.

PROGRESS IN THE COUNTRY.

The government has recognized the
inesiimsble value to the country of
free rural delivery by increasing the
salaries Of carriers on basis Of the
number OF miles travelled. There are
now "a, 500 rural carriers who daily.
except Sunday, keep the cities and
country districts in close touch. This
invaluable accomplishment is further
enhanced by the telephone service and
electric transit that have been insugu-
rated in thousands of counties in the
United States, making communica-
tion between the cities and rural dis
tricts so complete as to almost totally
obviate the disadvantages of living in
the country. These improvements
place city and country in immediate
communication, rendering unnecessary
four-tifths of the trips that have hith-
Highways may be muddy and weather
stormy. but not too much so for the
rural carrier, and the world can be
rung up according to the necessities
of the moment, facilitating business
and social life, and saving an i'm
mense amount of time and effort. A
marked tendency of the age is to bring
the country into closer touch with the
centers of population. Electric roads
are multiplying and make their way
into neighborhoods that could not
hope for steam lines. Farmers get
their letters and the daily news de-
liyered almost az their doors. Each
days events reach the country
promptly and the old rural isolation
is disappearing. Means Of ready travel
grow better and keep on extending
and the good roads organizations gain
constantly in active support.
Within dozen years electric tran
sit in the cities has more than doubled
the area suitable for town residences.
Cities themselves are spreading
farther into the country, Of which
suburban sections are a pleasing mod
ification. Labor on the farm has been
rendered easier by ingenious ma
chinery. All whose memories stretch
back to pioneer days can bear witness
to the enormous advance toward
bringing country and city together.
Progress in that respect proceeds at an
accelerated pace. Going to the city or
taking a run into the country is a
commonplace incident. How far the
space between will eventually be an

a turc, but the old lines of sspara-

The city should quickly do some
thing towards getting ready for Work
on the new market house and city
hospital. In the case of the hospital,
even the site has not yet been def
nitely decided on. 1t is understood the
delay Is caused by a number Of city
officials, wanting to locate the hospital
on the extreme south side, which is
not considered reasonable, as one
thing the city needs most is cen
trally located hospital. The only res-
son certain officials want the hospital
up there is said to be that they live in
that locality. Something should be
done at once about these improve
ments. There is no use waiting to
complete preliminaries until after the
money has been secured, when time
can be saved by doing it now.

Indeed. the archduchess would have
been an ideal ruler for a realm so diff

peradventure how to repress and dis

revolutionary outbreaks sapped the very
foundations OF the empire.
Her undeniable nobility Of temper,
her inexorable pride and stern clear
ness of judgment. clothed her in an un-
yielding armor. and she serenely pur-
sued her way in life unhampered by any
feminine weakness of mind or body
walking as 1t were, in the gratifying
conviction that she at least could do no
wrong. That this conviction carried
her too far at times is sufficiently
known. 1t has often been said that she
was unscrupulous. This she was not

erybody knows that its extreme elas-

to stretch IL enough TO cover offenses

opinions. Indeed, there is no master
of statecraft. no energetic and painstak-
ing prime minister, or, for the matter
OF that. no successful politician of what
soever color or inclination. who has not
been laid under this accusation.
"A hard. cold, determined woman, If
you will, was Archduchess Sophia, who
would have been sufficiently remarkable
in any age for her total lack of gentle

so in a time OF vaporous, languorous

II A KEYSTONE OF EMPIRE" by
N the author Of THE Martyr
4 \ dom OF an Empress" and "A
Doffed Coronet," is a fat
volume with the Austrian double eagles
on the cover, intended as COM
paniop volume to the authors first
book It contains the Emperor's private
life in detail. and will be fascinating
reading for those who like to know how
royalty appears at home.
Readers Of 1.-The Martyrdom Of an
Empress" were at once impressed by
the authors brilliant yet sympathetic
style, and they viii like this biography
quite as well The way in which the
character-study is done may be seen
in this extract from an early chapter.
describing Archduchess Sophia, the
mother of Franz Joseph:
.'Archduchess Sophia was at that
time a beautiful woman, possessed Of
supreme distinction and of that dignity
of bearing which is the appanage Of
ancient lineage apd OF long traditions
of courtesy and culture. Her every ges-
ture was harmonious and reposeful. and
her cameO-like features bore a calm
proud. cold expression denoting perfect
self-reliance. In her character an in
extinguishable thirst for power, a dis
position to exercise too despotic a will
and to show herself contemptuous Of
any dictates but her own, and a distinct
leaning toward intolerance were curl
ously blended with a strong sense OF
duty and responsibility that rendered
her unsparing of herself and untiring
in her numerous charities.
Sophia her father once said has IL
in her TO be a second Maria Theresa.
She brooks no contradiction, no oppo-
sition Of any kind. She is overbearing
and autocratic; but even her faults are
noble ones. and had myself a few such
