Standard Cream.

There was time, some years ago,
when cream was always of about the
same consistency. That was before
the cream trade had settled down to
be one Of the great industries Of
dairy nature. Since that time we have
noticed gradual weakening Of the
cream. Now when one orders cream
In a restaurant or hotel he Is not
sure whether the fluid that is brought
to him Is milk or cream. In fact, 1t
Is very apparent that some of the
cream so-called is nothing more than
very rich milk. We doubt not that
very large proportion Of the cream
contains less than ten per cent of but
ter fat. The state law of Illinois and
some other states now makes it nee
essary for commercial cream to have
not less than II per cent of butter
fat. But there are practically no
state inspectors, and that means that
the people in all of the smaller places
have no protection from the law as to
what the density of the cream shall
be. The movement by some of our
leading dairy scientists to get stan.
dardized milk will doubtless result in
getting a standardized cream. 1t
seems to us that the cream Is more
often low in fat content than is the
milk. The tendency is much greater
to sell attenuated cream than it is to
sell milk from which the cream has
been partly removed. The latter is
quite generally regarded as a dishon.
orable course, while in the making Of
cream there is 10 standard recog-
nized. and even the one established
by law is arbitrary and not natural.

BOLD THIEVES

Had Wagon Getting Coal in the
!. G. Yards.
Officer Dick Tolbert, of the |. c.,
says that the boldness of coal thieves
this season is something remarka-
BILE, and he has never in his many
years experience seen them so open
ly fearless of the law.
Last night Officer Tolbert was in
the south yards looking after his end
of the business when he saw a small
spring wagon pulled by a mule being
slowly drawn through the yards.
Following the wagon were two negro
women picking up coal and carting
It away.
The women ~were arrested and
driven to the city hall in their own
vehicle by the officer. They gave the
names of Phoebe Cartwright and Ida
Hobbs and said they didn't know II
was wrong to ''pick up coal" in the
yards.
Judge Sanders transferred the
case to Justice Young's court. the
yards being out of the city limits.

The city OF Paducah continues to
almost daily have the paved streets
swept without being first sprinkled.
This is not hearsay or imagination,
but a statement based on actual
knowledge. Sometimes this sweeper
raises so much dust in the early
hours that il looks like Il huge cy-
clone cloud. and the sitting, germ
laden dust scatters for blocks II
there happens to be strong wind.
This sweeping without first sprink-
ling the street is the cause of so
much dust being on the pavements,
and creeping through the cracks OF
doors and windows Of handsome
down town establishments to dam
age the goods. Sometimes the dusi
and dirt entirely cover the pave
ments. The only reason known 70
allowing a thing of this kind is tina
| IL the dust is stirred up and floats
away. It will not have to be shovel
ed up and carted of. Fortunately |
IL winter and peoples windows ar
kept down, or there would be a BIZ
howl from along Broadway and 9th
err streets that are paved.

A MISTAKEN IDEA.

A great many people, especially
those who are so eRergetically in pur-
suit of the almighty dollar that they
can't understand how anything else
can be given consideration by a news
paper. have the mistaken idea that
the health of a community should
be ignored by a paper II there is
any danger of hurting business"
There never was a more absurd idea,
II is the duty of newspapers to ex-
pose the filth and unhealthfulness
of a city until the causes are remov-
ed and the people are given their
rights. Life and health are things
that money cannot buy or bring
back, and they ought to be afforded
every protection.
The Fulton Commercial seems to
have found cause to complain of the
attitude some people display towards
a paper. 1t says;
"A business man In this city re-
fused to advertise in the CONNER
cial on the ground that this paper
had injured the business interests
of the town by publishing the fact
that we have scarlet fever here. We
are sorry-this fact has hurt any
body's business. but We must insist
that the Commercial prizes life and
good health above business interests.
and IL these happen to conflict we
would quickly decide between them.
II was the duty of the doctors to
give out this news, and save the peo-
pie from the contagion. and as they
did not do 1t the Commercial did so
as to save the homes Of all the people
including the homes Of our business
men. from the invasion Of the dread
contagion."

THE MAYORS VETO.


Mayor Yeiser's veto of the cleo
trio railway right of way ordinance
was tipped several weeks ago by The
Sun. Although the mayor professed
not TO know what he would do with
the ordinance. he was pretty wen
satisfied, no doubt. many days ago
what its fate would be. In fact, he
could not have consistently signed
the ordinance. for few years ago
lie vetoed an ordinance giving the IL
linois Central, a trunk line, right OF
way around the river front, a prop
erty never used for the most part
except as a dumping ground for the
refuse of the city. This was a move
desired by the business interests OF
the city, and no franchise had to be
sold. or could be sold, as the right OF
way was for a trunk line. Yet Mayor
Yeiser vetoed 1t on some pretext or
other, doubtless largely because "a
Republican council passed it, and he
could hardly have signed an ordi-
nance that for no apparent reason
gives a projected railway company
not a trunk line-right of way free
OF charge instead of selling a fran
chise, and a right of way through the
heart Of the city instead of over an
unused river front. None of the bla-
tant calamity howlers who then OPP
posed the river front track, which
