The Paducah sun. [volume] (Paducah, Ky.) 1898-1906, 1905-05-19

Here is something that the health
authorities overlook. Every morning
scores of porters clerks and even
proprietors may be seen out in front
of business houses sweeping trash
and dirt from their stores onto the
streets. Others have long line, or
huge pile, of cuspidores filled with
filth and disease germs, which they
flush with a small garden hose and
then empty onto the street--empty
bodily. mind you ON the street-and
leave 1t there to be blown and strewn
over the thoroughfare and become a
constant menace to the public. Such
filthy, disease-breeding customs
should be forcibly stopped, If it is
necessary to do 1t that way.

of life, beginning in humble but

features of the Goebel movement,
and with the various so-called "tri-

to a private corporation, for rs years
for $25, 200. 900. There have been in
connection with the deal, cries of

things, but the council has forged
ahead with a determination which
does not indicate either the craven
nature of a CRATER or the faltering
tread of the weakling. The council

A CASE OF STATISTICS.

Public Misinformation" is the
boro Inquirer which shows consider
able thought. 1t calls attention to.
the fact that most of the evils, from
the root of it all. money, down to
minor evils, are largely creatures of
the Imagination or of fallacious sta
tistics.
The Inquirer takes the case of the
railroads and remarks:
"A case in point Is a statement put
cut sometime ago by the interstate
commerce commission to the effect
that the cost of freight paid by the
people in increased rates from 1899
10 1908, was s155.575,5O2, or more
shan so per head for all the men.
women and children. This, bear in
mind. was not the increased cost OF
freight, but the increase from the
difference in rates.
Mr.. Walker ID. Hines, of the Louis
vile and Nashville railroad, one of
the most accomplished railroad men
IN the country. has shown that these
figures are utterly fallacious. He
shows that the commission based its
calculations on the rate of 95.2 cents
per ton for freight moved in 1899,
whereas the rate, as shown by the
commissions own report, was act
ually 97.13 cents per ton, differ
ence of nearly 2 cents per ton. The
basing rate OF the calculation Tor
1908 was $1.0793 per ton. when the
commissions own figures showed
that the rate for that year was only
sl.0515, difference of more than
two cents the other way. the total
discrepancy being. II the tonnage
had been the same for both years oil
Al cents, or about 4 cents net
Then, ,again, the commission made
,ts figures on a partial report OF the
railroads, the full figures not being
available. The correct difference on
the available figures should have
been about $lOb,OOO,OOO instead Oh
S155,475,5O2, and, fsall the figures
of all the railroads had been used
this amount would have been fur
Their cut down to $4,000. 600.
"Another element Of error. which
makes the report of the commission
worthless for all practical purposes
is that In many instances the same
ton of freight is counted two or three
times. A single ton OF freight, NOV
ing over different lines, was counted
as a INHERENT ton on every different
line. II would happen that a ton OF
freight moving from San Francisco
TO New York or vice versa would be
counted as five tons. II might be
thought that this would have no
effect as the same basis was used for
both calculations, but Il is shown
that the difference is very marked,
owing TO the fact that there were
many railroad combinations aud con-
solidations In the years from 1883 TO

Denver Lodges
B'NAI BIRTH.

Il new impetus Is given, anu fcucWeu ll1C
and energy imbued into Denver Lodge
of the Independent Order B mai
B 'rith One cause of this renewal OF
activity is the beginning Of the social
dances, which each month are source OF
much pleasure and as they are for mem
bers only, it is plan to increase the
membership Of the order, by interesting
the young men.
Denver Lodge No. III was organized
thirty three years ago, April Z, 1872,
with a charter membership Of twenty
five, and to-day it has developed and
grown to be the Banner Lodge of the
order, with membership of 43O, and
many applications coming in. This is
the largest membership of any one lodge
of this order.
In Denver, as well as throughout the
East, the b mai B 'rith is recognized as
leading Jewish organization, and it's va
rious lodges are always at the head OF
any action taken in connection with
Jewish questions of Importance, either
national or otherwise.
Denver lodge has had the honor of
having three Of it's members as president
of the District No. 2. The late Louis An
. fcnger, Mayer Friedman, and Alfred
Muller Milton l.. Anfenger is at pres
ent the first vice president of the district,
and in all probabilities will be the next
president of District Grand Lodge No. 2.
Denver Lodge No. III is always first
and foremost in acts of both benevol-
ence and good will, and many of it's
good deeds are never known beyond the
doors of it's lodge room. A few weeks
ago when the news was flashed over the
wires of the terrible pillage and suffer-
ing of our most unfortunate brethren in
the domains of the Gar, this lodge i'm
mediately answered the summons with
donation, and also appointed a commit
tee, who did active work, in cooperation
with the general committee, for the pur
pose of raising funds for relief work.
Our lodge is perhaps best known in
Denver through the National Jewish
Hospital for Consumptives, one of Den
ver's grandest and foremost charities,
which was opened under the auspices Of
District Grand Lodge No. 2, l. O. B. B.
In the near future there is to be a
B mai B rith building erected in this
city, and there is now a committee who
have this project in hand. A start was
made by taking one thousand dollars
from out the treasury Of this lodge and
creating building fund. The yearly
dues were increased and said increase is
placed into this same fund. The COM
mittee also have secured contributions
