The guilelessness of local report
er came near depriving the good
people of Paducah OF the anticipated
sight of the big baseball players
from the east who are coming here
to train next spring. He got the
item and wrote that the club would
come to Paducah to winter"
The manager. Micky Finn. was sit
ting in the Palmer House lobby talk
ing to some local fans when he spied
the "plece" in the paper He grimm
ed and then looked disgusted.
Say" he declared, you fellows
told me they had sports here. Look
at that They say 'Micky Finn is
going to bring his club to Paducah
to winter"
Now who ever heard OF baseball
club 'wintering' anywhere? What
kind of dub will they take me for
when they see this thing in the pa
per about us 'wintering' here?"
The Paducahans did their best to
placate him, and finally succeeded
pretty well, and got his promise to
come along anyhow. They promised
to have a real sporting writer here
by that time, and this in a measure
satisfied him. Micky said before he
took the train that he had been in a
great many places, but that Paducah
was the first place he ever visited
where the sporting writer's didn't
know any more than to think that
baseball clubs "wintered."

Constitution ImpracticabIe.

Prince Mestchersky, editor OF the
Petersburg Grsshdanin and the foremost
spokesman of the autocracy, holds that
the Inauguration of such reforms as are
at present possible in Russia has been
actually prejudiced by "tbe irresponsible
agitation for constitution which is now
in progress" Autocracy he considers
vital to the life and future greatness OF
Russia as a nation. Liberal reforms, he
maintains, are necessary, but they can
not be introduced excep. by the autoc-
racy. Moreover, declares the Prince: a
broad plan of reform was already mapped
out for gradual introduction, when the
whole work was thrown into confusion by
the liberal rebound, accompanied BY a
discussion of a constitution, which fol-
lowed Minister Won Plehye's death.
Speaking of the matter Prince Mestcher-
sky said "a constitution is just as
necessary to Great Britain or the United
States as autocracy is for Russia. Rus
sia without autocracy would cease. to be

Increased Pa, for Congressmen.

1t is stated that a number of members
of Congress will undertake st the first
session of the Fifty-ninth Congress to
raise their salaries from $5, 900 to 80,
900 year. The plea for doubling their
paw is the claim that member of Con-
gress cannot live on $1,000 year in
Washington. In order to gain support
the gentlemen who are promoting" the
plan intend to include the President in
the measure. His salary, too, is to be
doubled-from $50, 900 to $780, 900 a
year-and the vice president is to get
500, 900. There are still many persons
who remember the notorious "Back-
salary" law in the days of President
Grant. The members of the Forty
second Congress decided that the country
was not properly appreciatiug their SER
vices. and at the short term Of that
Congress they passed bill rais-
ing their salaries from So, 900 TO
81, 500. The salary of the President
was raised from $25, 900 to $50, 600.
The bill, as first introduced, did not in
clude the members of the Congress that
was to enact it, but number of "dead
ducks" who had been defeated for re-
election held the measure UP until it
was made retroactive not only for the
session at which it was passed, bat even
back tor the first session, which had al
ready expired. Objectionable as was
the bill to most people, it became law.
Many members of Congress, knowing
the disgust which the back-pay grab
had aroused all over the country, wisely
turned back into the Treasury the extra
So, 900 accruing from the two terms.
Others bodily pocketed it; few, if any OF
them, remained long in public life there
after. The next Congress promptly re-
pealed the bill as far as itincreased their
own salaries but, under the Constitution,
they could not, of course, decrease the
salary of The President during his term.
The gentlemen who may undertake the
delicate business this time have taken
counsel of experience. The bill will
provide that the Congress which enacts
the law shall not benefit by it. Thus, If
the next Congress shall raise all salaries
by doubling them, the increase snail not
90 into effect until the following Con-
gress, that is to say, March 4, 1907.
To men who must manage to live on
81 900 year, of whom there are many,
the proposition that the average msmber
of Congress is not paid sufficiently with
So, 900 may seem grotesque. 1t is quite
true that many members spend more
than S5, 200 a year. But it is equally
true that many live comfortably within
their salaries.
Their names do not shine daily in the
society columns of the papers, but their
time is devoted mostly to working for
their constituents rather than to giving
brilliant social functions. There is little
reason to doubt that the bill to double
salaries will easily pass Congress, be-
cause there is strong element of hu-
man nature in even the statesmen who
comprise that body.

Tie American Farmer the Best In the World.

The American farmer is the greatest man
in the world to-day because he is master OF
the soil--he is gaining in intelligence quite
as vapidly as his products are increasing IN
magnitude. Our recent combines OF capitai
in United States measured in money are
enormous yet such figures sink into insig-
nihcance when compared to the nioney,
brain and Drawn invested in agncultniat
Industries. For instance, the farmers OF
Minnesota and Dakota have received $780,
ooo, 600 for their products IN single year.
The farmer knows what Nature Will orin8
forth for him from his experience IN the
past. He knows if certain seeds are
planted and properly cared for that Nature
will take care of the rest. In the same
way VOn are master Of yONr 01on destiny.

some of the spectators were killed, but
