GOEBEL AND THE HALL OF
FAME.
Lexington Leader.)


An effort is being made by the
friends of the late Senator Goebel TO
consign Kentucky's name to infamy
by having the statue of the murdered
politician placed in the hall of fame
as one of Kentucky's exhibits.
The movement started in Frank
fort. where his friends are numerous
and where, perhaps more than any
other place, his Infamous poliucai
record is best known, and 1t is stat
ed on good authority that legislators
who compose the next general az
sembly of Kentucky and who are TO
mass on the selection, will be strenu-
ously wrestled with in the hope OF
concentrating this cruel and das-
tardly purpose.
II is not the desire of the Leader
and certainly not of it's choosing to
open the door to the charnal house
of memories that cluster about the
name and fame of Goebel, nor open
the wound that Kentucky's honor
has sustained through his miserable
political chicanery, by reference
again to the darkest page in the
states history, but it could not re-
main silent on this effort to enshrine
a political trickster in the valhalla
of the commonwealth immortals
and at the same time remain decent
OF the private life of Goebel we
have nothing to say. OF his political
career we had intended that the
grave should end all comment, pre-
ferring TO accept in common with hui
manity, the injunction that OF the
dead nothing but good should be
said: but since his friends have seen
fit to invite comment by this misera-
bic effort to offer, by political wire
working with the legislature, the ma
jorlty of whose members are Demo
cratic and of similar faith with
that of Goebel, a new insult TO the
people who repudlated him by pub
lie vote and who were then robbed
of that franchise, we shall not shrink
from the unwelcome task of criti-
cism.
How far this movement has pro
ceeded and how dangerous It has be-
come are not yet known, but it is
known that the followers of the al
legged friend of the Great Common
People, are so infatuated with their
idol that they will make strenuous
efforts to carry out their purpose and
with the assistance of Democratic
legislature will probably succeed
And yet the Leader finds 1t difficult
TO believe that a body of representa-
tive Kentuckians, chosen by their va
rlous communities because OF their
probity, good sense and good citi-
zenship, TO represent them IN the
supreme law making tribunal o; the
state. can so far forget themselves as
20 subscribe TO this infamy when
there were so many distinguished

Illinois Central Begins Its New
Trains on I. G.
Chicago Train One of the
Fastest ON tho Entire
System.
MAIL SERVICE Is WANTED

The initial run of the fast Chicago
limited was made last night over the
Illinois Central. The train left Nash
willie at p. m. and reached Chicago
at $3.50 this morning,
The new schedule on the /. G.
went into effect at noon yesterday.
The through trains will carry
sleeping and dining cars.
Maj. A. w. Wills Is making
strong effort to get a regular railway
mail service ear put on between
Nashville and Chicago on the new
Chicago Nashville train over the IL
lnois Central, says the Nashville
Banner. This would greatly facilitate
the delivery OF registered matter es-
pecially between the two cities. There
is no service on regular railway mail
service cars between Nashville and
Chicago except through Loulsville
and Cincinnati, and by this route Il
takes letter from "a TO SO hours TO
get to the addressee. The postal laws
provide that registered mail cannot
go in any but railway mail service
cars. and the service is so expensive
that they are not used except where
It is positively necessary. All the reg
ularly scheduled trains practically
carry mail of the ordinary sort, but
the government must. of course. be
more careful in handling the register
ed matter for which Il is liable. A
quicker service between Nashville
and Chicago would be of great bene-
fit and the through trains over the I.
.C. seem to offer exceptional advant-
ages for this.

ten-year plan withou: vote OF people;
same in regard to sewerage recon-
struction; allowing the city TO fix

nual assessments on property; gener-
al council to select city depository.
The amendments Paducah wanted

diction In petty larceny cases.
To clarity charter In regard 10

DEBARRED.
II Is we'll to note the remarkable
change and advance IN the attitude Of
business men. firms and corporations as
to the use OF strong drink by their
employees
The drinking young man is NOW eX-
cluded and debarred--
From employment in the army OF
millions Of railroad employees.
From employment In manufacturing
establishments.
From employment in department and
other stores.
OF law.
From employment In medicine teach-
ing and the like.
From the immense army attending
the colleges and professional schools.
From the innumerable host who are
members i'm our different churches.
From employment by and association
with all men IN responsible positions.
From even being barkeepers In sa-
looms.
From the best society and the best
| homes.
But the drinking young man Is ad-
| mitted--
To every saloon and brothel I'm the
| land as patron,
To every insane asylum and mflrmary
| IN the land, as a patient and patron,
| but not as helper clerk or manager.
| To iails, prisons and pcnitentiaries,
as criminals TO pay penalty for that
which was the result OF intemperance.
There Is only one logical conclusion:
The young man who desires the best
development physically morally and
| spiritually; the best society; the best
business opportunities I'm word, the
best success In life, must be a total
abstainer.
