The Republican party, as a whole,
desires county government, but the
men behind the leaders of the party,
the men who are fnanciering the
party are secretly opposed to local
government, partly because they
fear an increase in taxation, and
partly because they feel that they
will bs unable to control the county
officials IN the manner in which they
do the Territorial officials through
their strenuous Governor The will
Of the people will eventually DO
done. however, and politicians like
Robettson reolize Tact failure on
the part OF the Republican psvty to
establish county government would
mean . sure defeat at the next geu-
eral election. You cannot fool all
the people all the time, and The
fooling il regard to tho County Act
in the last Legislature eau only be
repeated al the loss of prestige and
power to the Republican party.

1t ia all very nice and proper now
for the various Republican bosses
to throw bouqueto at themselves for
what they did, aud yet didn't do,
instead of the paid hireIings under
them. If they ere proud of the
dirty work they did, and they call it
clean, then they sgo welcome to en-
Joy their glory, which will soon
vanish into thin cir.

IN Line OK PROMOTION.

Believing that 81 M Dow has been
vindicated by largely signed tss.
timonial from reputable citizens, we
hope to sse him again installed in
some responsible position. The
warden OF Oahu prison, for instance,
il Deputy Kamana is not to be pro-
noted. Mr. Dow was formerly there
as deputy and it would be ia the
line of promotion to him. At the
time Henry was appointed, Dow
should have been the man, who was
next in promotion, Henry being en-
outsider. But that has passed. II
anybody is entitled to the warden
ship, not as political reward, but
as matter of right and justice,
tina. one man, outside of Kamana,
should bs a M Dow, who has all
the qualifications to fill the Office,
although Kamans, 8, an excellent man,
has moi.

Governor Carter aud Boss Robert

Pandemonium will reign at Aala

Republican Legislators elect, besides
the Delegate, will make speeches to
the red shirts, the broom carriers
and others of the faithful who yet
are full of hold-ovsr enthusiasm.
When the legislative session is over,
the psople thoroughly disappointed
in their very best Legislature, and
the County Act in the waste BASKET,
no mass meeting will be held under
Republican auspices at Aala park,
and the red shirts will have gone to
pieces in the political wash.

For fraudulent election this one
takes the bun. The duplication OF
ballots, the mum beripg OF them, and
the refusal to putting inspectors of
the Democratic psrsuation on the
boards gained an easy victory for
the Governors party. Mr. Carter,
however, has not raised himself in
public estimation by his liberation
of fraud aud tricks in an eleetion,
but he is of course the idol for the
present OF the boodlsrs.

bslisvs that the Territory ought to

that local self government as it ex'

G. N. BAKER INJURED
Negroes Struck Him With a Pair
of Brass knueks.
Their Motive Simply TO Punish Him
For Asking What They
We're Doing.

Mr.. c. n. Baker, manager of the Noah
Ark store, was assaulted last night
about o'clock by a negro. whose sole
intent seemed to be in knocking Mr..
Bakers head off his shoulders.
Mr.. Baker lives at 622 Kentucky ave-
nue and last night had his little daugh-
ter with him en- route to the Winstead
drug store to leave the little girl in
care of Mrs. Winstead while he went to
the court house to register. When he
got on eth street he noticed two negroes
emerge from an alley which runs in the
rear of his house and asked them what
they were doing in the alley.
One replied that it was none of his
business, and when Mr. Baker went to
explain that he lived near and had some
thing to do with the alley, which is
private way, one negro walked up and
deliberately struck him ON the left side
of the head with brass knucks. Two
more licks in the face were struck and
10y the time Mr.. Baker recovered the
negroes had fled.
They made no attempt to rob him but
didn't tarry long after committing the
assault. Mr.. Baker had his little daugh-
ter's hand when struck and never turn
ed it loose. He says the assault was
made so quick that he hardly realized
he had been struck before the negroes
had disappeared.
The police have a good description of
the men and will probably effect THEN
arrest today.
There Was considerable excitement
over the assault in the neighborhood, but
the negroes covered their tracks well
and could not be found.

Commissioner Rose Finishes
Difficult Task.
The Collection on the Policies We're
ts,l2i. 40 In Five and Half
Months.
THE REBATES WE'RE SO. 55s. as

Insurance Inspector c. G. Rose has
completed figuring out the net profits of
the insurance companies on the pink
slip while il was in force in Paducah.
The pink slip was in force in Padu-
cab five and half months and during
that time | find" Mr.. Rose explained
that the total charge to be credited
to the pink slip amounts to Ss,l2l.49.
The rebates since the order to remove
the pink slip was made amounts TO
S6,559.43, and this taken from the entire
amount credited to the pink slip charges
will leave net profit to the insurance
companies of Sl,j62.Od." a4r'
The pink slip was ordered in force
here because of the refusal of the city to
enlarge the fire department, and meant
25 per cent. increase in insurance
rates. Ii was ordered off September LIST
but the order did not come until the
month was half gone, so this necessi.
tated Relating. Ii will be seen that
three-fourths and little over of the
business done was done after Septem-
her LIST, as over three fourths of the en-
tire charge ON the pink slip was related
Inspector Roses work of figuring out
these rebates was a most difficult one
Few of the policies expired at the same
time, and many policies were still in
force during the time the pink slip was
ON. under the old rate.
Property owners who have had TO pay
insurance are greatly pleased as the re-
moval of the pink slip, and the prompt
rebate of extra premiums.

PADUCAH JOURNAL
THE OFFICIAL ORGAN
OF the international Shipbuild-
ers Union.
The Delegates Today Adopt the Pa
ducah Labor Journal-Resolutio
Reported Favorably.
DEBATING BEGINS TOMORROW

The third day of the third annual
convention OF the International Union
of Shipwrights, Joiners and Caulkers
was marked by the adoption of the Pa
ducah Journal Of Labor, edited by Mr..
Claude johnson, as the official journal
of the international union, very big
thing for the paper and its promoters,
as IT will mean a tripled circulation, as
well as for Padueah.
Mr.. johnson secured the recommends
ton of several members of the interna-
tional union for the paper, and this
morning a resolution was presented and
adopted by which the paper was adopt
ed. 1t will take the place of small
booklet quarterly published at Elizabeth,
n. j., by the international union.
Mr.. johnson was present when the
adoption was made, and made a nice
speech of thanks to the delegates. The
paper will print official news of the in
ternational union and will contain names
of officers of every union in the inter-
national union.
While there will be but little done in
the way of active business before the
body tomorrow, when the debating on
resolutions comes up, the committees
Lave reported fayorably on several mat
tiers.
The resolution regarding the standard
scale of wages and hours on the lakes
was favorably reported, and left open
until tomorrow morning at IL o'clock.
when il will be debated. iit'
The resolution to support the s-hour
work day wherever established, was ia
vorably reported and action deferred
Until tomorrow.
A clause was inserted in the constitu.
ton requiring each local union to for
ward to the national secretary the names
and address of each officer in the union
as soon as elected and installed In this
way a complete record of the interna-
tionai union is secured with no POSSIBLE
ity of mistake in officers.
The convention also adopted the label
of the house carpenters and Joiners. e
A communication from the Buffalo
local union, presented by Delegate Me-
Donald, was read.
The communication recommended that
resolution be adopted regulating the
employment of union men in Buffalo.
1t was stated that the Buffalo Dry Dock
Co. had blacklisted several men because
they had been associated with organized
labor too much to suit the bosses. The
delegates do not want the employers to
discriminate and blacklist man unless
he has good and just grounds. The res
olution will be drawn up and presented
tomorrow for debate.
The committee on constitution which
is revising the constitution, will report
tomorrow. This is an important work
and the committee has changed several
parts of the constitution.
This afternoon the committees will
resume work, but nothing of definite
form is reported to come mp. The con-
vention proper will not begin until the
debating time arrives. This is when the
actual work is done.
The delegates all say Padueah is the
finest town they have ever been in,
and everywhere they go, their money il
counterfeit" and they can't spend it.
They have been treated royalty and are
glad they came.
