insinustes that the commanding officer

vessels, each one in service almost
constantly. Every year there are ma

cheney of our men, and yet out of the
thousands and thousands of chances,
how many accidents are there? And

A WORD TO REPUBLICANS.

The Sun would again call the Re-
publicans' attention to the necessity
Of their taking an interest in the pre-.
cinct conventions to be held next
Thursday at $3.50. 1t is very essential
it is every good Republicans duty
to attend these conventions and see
that none but representative men con-
troll them; that none but representa-
tive men be given the positions in the
party. Politics nowadays is left to
the "free" elements too much and
that is the simple reason why city,
county and state governments are SO
corrupt. II the business men, the
men whose interests are jeopardized
as we see them every day, by leaving
politics to such elements, will but
take the interest in il that they
should, we would not have the condi-
tions we find all around us.
1t therefore behooves the Republi-
cans of Paducsh to attend these con-
ventious and see that none but the
best men are put in the offices AID in
control of the psrty's affairs. The
way to build up party is to give it
responsibility. Given that it COM
mands following of the best people.
The growth of the Republican party
IN Paducah has been sure, satisfactory
and healthy. We must continue it so.
The Republicans have carried the
city at nearly every election on state
and national issues for over eight
years. Let's do 1t this time.

FIRST STAGE OF CATARRH.
a Serious Mistake Which Thou
sands Are Making.

The first stage OF catarrh Is what is
commonly known as catching cold" 1t
may be in the head. nose, throat or lungs.
Its beginning is sometimes so severe as
TO cause a chill and considerable fever,
or it may be so slight as to not hinder a
person from his usual business. In per
haps a majority Of cases little or no at
teniion is paid TO the first stage OF ca
tarrh, and hence it is that nearly one
half Of the people have chronic catarrh
in some form.
To neglect cold is to invite chronic
catarrh. AS soon as any one discovers
the first symptoms of catching cold he
should at once begin the use Of Peruna

that Mr. Roosevelt comes to be the
subject of much respectful wonder,
not only among the Legation diplomats
in Washington but on the parts Of our
own deep men of state. They are not
surprised by his force; they expected
that; but they did not anticipate his
wide grasp of affairs. Had they
paused to consider Mr.. Roosevelt in
his upcoming the tide of their amaze
ment might not have mounted so
high MI. Roosevelt, now in middle
age and with nothing of his energy
subtrscted by mere years, has had an
education in government that was
granted to no one else. He went to
the Assembly at Albany and was
taught the detailed lesson OF a State.
He was chief of the Civil Service, and
thereby given something broader than
a glimpse of our national machinery
in it's smaller wheels and springs.
Then he became police commissio ner
of New York-an education of itself
in those reasons, black and white,
which in human nature make the
fundamentals. He is next given q
naval course under Mr.. Long. Then
he takes regiment to practical war,
and smells the powder and hears the
guns and sees the blood of it. He gees
back to Albany as Governor and di-
reots the business of mighty Com
monwealth. Later he presides over a
National Senate, and is shown how
mysterious may be a Congress in its
ways. And so TO a White House.
Could there have been a deeper prep
aration for a President? Besides, Mr..
Roosevelt has travelled up and down
the land, and encountered every con-
di,ion of man. He has gained hand
to-hand know ledge of the American
people, and there abides no pat of the
country that Is hearsay with him.
Moreover, the pores OF his apprehsn-
sion were open; Mr.. Roosevelt has
been a man who could learn. What
the Washington mind finds impress
sive in him-that is, his comprehen-
sion of a situation, and his quick
ability to devise support if it he good,
or propose a remedy if it be bad-are
only the natural fruits of that very
liberal education in public concerns
which has been his. There have been
Presidents who were called diamonds
in the rough. MIR Roosevelt has
been ground upon the emery wheels
of score of experiences until, regu
lar of shape and accurate of angle, he
owns a facet for every possible con
tingency.

DAMAGE FEARED
Last Night the Temperature
Went to 81 i'm Paducah.
Cloudiness Prevented Frost-A Set
Back, at Least, Anticipated.

The predicted cooler weather came
last night and came with vengeance.
Those who were bedecked in their
spring and summer garments yester-
day. were out today in furs and over
coats. The weather fully justified il,
too. The lowest tempe rature last
light was "a, two degrees above freez-
ing point. and all that prevented a
heavy frost was the oloudiness and
wind. There can be frcst at 3s, and
it is lisely that the temperature in
the country was some cooler, at lea ST,
than in town, where Observer Borne
mann's record shows the 81 degrees.
While nothing definite is known.
Mr.. Bornemann fears that the cold
weather will damage the crops and
fruits. 1t is extremely likely, too at
any rate, and whether it damages
anything TO the extent of killing it or
not, it will at least keep everything
back.
Paducah is not the only city which
has suffered, as there has been snow
in many places in Kentucky during
the last few days.
Some of the older inhabitants say
that "a years ago today there were
four inches of snow in Psducah. One
man on market stated that he remem-
bered it because it was the day he
married.
The weather predictions for tonight
are for colder and freezing weather,
but are for warmer weather tomorrow
in Western Kentucky.

gubernatorial nomination. II he does

If Folk is nominated, the machine
will help beat him, for the election
of Folk would mean the everlasting
annihilstion of the machine.
If Halves, the machine candidate, is
nominated, il will result in many Of
the Folk men, if not most of them,
voting the Republican ticket or re-
manning at home because they are
tired of the corrupt and costly domi-
nation of the Democratic machine and
their principal aim is to defeat 1t.
Either way the outlook is propitious
for the Republicans, who are making
a strong fight TO rescue the state from

IL is stated ON the authority of q
mem Der of the Board of Public works
that the expenses heretofore of ire
pairing" the streets will be cut down
fifty ptr cent. by the board. IL this
is true, there must have existed o
pretty bad system of working the
streets-or was It working the tax
payers? II the city can save this fifty
per cent. now it could have done it
last year, the year before, and good
many years back. Why wasn't it
saved? The Board of Public Works,
il is hoped, will make a detailed re-
port showing the people where the
money has gone, and who has been
the beneficiary Of this perpetual prodi-
gality. When this is done, the extrav-
agrance may better be accounted for.
There ought to be some way to let the
public in on these matters.

A GREAT PRESIDENT.

In these days of strenuous politics,
a public man may be greatly admired
by his own party, and yet be execrat-
ed by others. President Theodore
Roosevelt, however, is a man who
has won the admiration, except of a
few unreasoning ultra partisan men
in other parties, of all men irrespeot-
i've of party. They see in him presi-
dent Of the whole people, which one
can easily be and at the same time
observe in every respect the principles
of the Republican party.
Alfred Henry Lewis, one of the
most widely known Democratic
writers in the country, in recent is
sue OF the Philadelphia Saturday Post,
makes the following observations on
President Roosevelt relative to the at
titude Of the United States when
European powers begin olamoring for
the payment of the money awarded
them by the Hague tribunal against
Venezuela.
"When such coils as those of the
Venezuelan debts occur it is within
my inclination to congratulate man
kind on Mr.. Roosevelt's presence in
the White House. There be folk with
a bent toward opposition poll tics who
are fond Of picturing Mr.. Roosevelt
as one of whom such conservatives as
Mr.. Hill. and Mr.. Morgan and Mr..
Schwab and others with interests in
the Northern Mergers and the Steel
Trusts and Shipbuilding Combines
fear his aggressiveness. They might
add with truth that England and Ger
many and others of Europe for the
same reason share their apprehen-
sions. And who is he to say
that this very appreciation of Mr..
Roosevelt's honest force is not likely
to keep the peace and preserve Il jus
tioe both at home and abroad? 1t is
q nations weakness, not its strength,
that gets 1t into trouble, and Il Presl-
dent in his personal characteristics
will ever make us either very weak or
very strong. Given President firm
and clear and sharp, and of the Jack
son stamp, we have internal security
and axe granted respectable justice in
Europe. Given one who is sluggish
and q trifle weak, one Of the Madison

Keep the Milk Vessels Clean.

The value of clean milk pals and
pans is recognized by all dairymen,
but not every farmer knows what 10
meant by clean milk vessels. The
washing they receive on an ordinary
farm, in which one small lot of boiling
water serves for washing several milk
pals, does not clean them, but always
leaves large numbers of bacteria
especially in the cracks, ready to mix
with the next lot of milk drawn into
the pail. If possible they should be
steamed daily. When this is not pos
sible, they should be scrubbed with
boiling water and sal soda, rinsed in
boiling water and turned upside down
to dry. They should not be rinsed in
cold water and should never be wiped
with rag after scalding. In hot
weather it may be necessary to take
them occasionally to creamery for
steaming.-Prof. w. H. Conn, in Farm
ers Review.

they were very different and vastly
more expensive than the macadam
roads of modern times. They built a
substantial foundation of rock, some
times several feet in depth and then
covered it with a pavement of large
fiat stones. This kind of road will
outlast any other. Indeed some parts

For Growing Girls.

West Pembroke, Me-, March 2l.-Mrs.
A. L. Smith, of this place, says that
Dodd's Kidney Pills are the best remedy
for growing girls. Mrs. Smith emphasizes
her recommendation by the following ex.
perience:
My daughter was thirteen years old
last November and it is now two years
since she was first taken with Crazy
Spells that would last a week and would
then pass off. In month she would have
the spells again. At these times She
would eat very little and was very yellow,
even the whites of her eyes would be vel,
low.
The doctors gave us no encouragement,
they all said they could not help her.
After taking one box of Dodfs Kidney
Pills, she has not had one bad spell. OF
course, We continued the treatment I'M
I'll she had used in all about dozen
boxes, and we still give them to her oc-
easionally, when she is not feeling well.
Dodd's Kidney Pills are certainly the bes:
medicine for growing girls"
Mothers should heed the advice of Mrs
Smith, for by so doing they may save
their daughters much pain and sickness
and ensure healthy happy future for
them.
