MODERN GRAFTING.

Graft" has become a rather COM
prehensive term, but a nice distinc-
tion is made between the graft that
is akin to theft, and-well, just sim
pie, everyday ft,-by Justice d.
j. Brewer, of the supreme court of
the United States. In a speech the
other night at Milwaukee he devoted
his time to modern graft, and Incl
dentally praised President Roosevelt
in his efforts to elevate public affairs.
Justice Brewers calculation of
the graft question was in part as
follows
For instance. trust funds are the
funds of this insurance company,
and this and that bank, and this and
that trust company. We will take
these trust funds, put our assets in
their place aud let the insurance
company carry them until we can
sell them with a profit. The com
pany takes a risk of carrying them
until such time as they can sell the
assets, the insurance company may
be able to pay its interests in full as
IL had been doing heretofore, but
the men who have done this have
not fulfilled their trust with an eye
single to the company's benefit.
"Why. do you suppose for mo-
ment that NJ: Ryan paid two and
half millions for property which under
no legal circumstances could pay
him more than or per cent inter-
est, with the idea that all he could
get would be this interest? There
may be such philanthropists, but
they are not connected with insur-
ance companies.
"Take the President of the United
States" said Justice Brewer. "Along
last winter San Domingo put itself
on a financial footing. Suppose the
president had acted secretly, and ad-
vised his friends to buy up San Do
mingo bonds. Wouldn't that shock
the people of the country? Yet the
would lose nothing and
some would be private gamers. Sup

THE PUBLIC PROPERTIES DEAL

THE PUBLIC PROPERTIES DEAL
A deal is pending for the street
car company, the gas company and
the heating company, and as IT'S
would mean a big
thing for Paducah It is hoped It will
go through.
The Stone and Webster company,
of Boston, the prospective purchas-
ers, have worldwide reputation
for having splendldly managed and
conducted street car and electric and
gas companies, and for upbuilding
any city they enter. If they come to
paducah, they will probably spend
over 100000 in extending the dill
ferent systems and improving them.
extending the lines for the cars ano
mains for the gas into Mechanics
burg and other parts of the city. AS
there is nothing that upbuilds a
town like a good street car system,
Paducah should felicitate herself
over this deal. Real estate on the
outskirts of the city and in the sub
urbs will be enhanced in value, and
residents thereof brought closer TO
the town.
Paducah will welcome these gen
tlemen.

home near Claxton. which is 90
miles north of Princeton. This was
the last heard of him until this
morning when his remains were
found lying beside the track mutt
lated almost beyond recognition.
The body was lying near the track
and was discovered by laborers and
railroad men who were walking the
track. The authorities at Princeton
were notified and will hold an In
quest today sometime.
There are no witnesses as far as
the railroad men can find who can
throw any light on the matter. The
body was cold when found and the
man must have been dead several
hours. Many trains pass Cedar BLUM

ported any accident.
Little is known of the unfortunate
young man except that he has peo-
pie near Claxton. They have been

The board of works is right In de-
clining to have anything to do with
sub-letting the street contract. When
the city awards a contract to a trm
with the stipulation that IT is TO ne
completed by a certain time, the city
should require the contractors to
comply with il. Heretofore it has
been the custom to award contracts
to Paducah people who had never
had any experience in the work, and
knew nothing about il. They poked
along and took their time about 1t.
and were always given all the exten
sions they wanted. because they we're
"h6me people," and had pull with
the administration. The public al
ways has to suffer from such p,o-
ceedings, and ii is to be hoped hat
the board of works, in its reply to
the bitulithic contractors, will give
them clearly to understand that they
must complete their contract On
time, and if they sub-let any part OF
the work, must do it at their own
risk.
