THE NEW ADMINISTRATION.

II is with a feeling of reverence
and pride that the people of the Unit
ed States today greet their president,
Theodore Roosevelt, a man who first
became the nations executive
through the tragic death of the be-
loved William Mckinley, and who so
won his way into the hearts of the
people, that when they had a chance
themselves to speak they elected him
to this great Office by the greatest
plurality in the country's history.
Today's events at Washington are
the elimination of one of the most
remarkable records ever made by a
president. No man ever took the
oath as president of the United States
who was the choice of so many peo-
pie as Theodore Roosevelt. A man
whose public life has been as stain
less. fearless, commendable and re-
plete with success as his private life
has been an example of all that is
pure, unselfish and good, he stands
today the ideal of American man
hood. young, courageous and consci-
entious, possessing the ability to
practice the principles he advocates,
and the intrepidity and purpose to
see that every man gets "a square
deal"
II would be impossible to enumer-
ate the many things Theodore
Roosevelt has accomplished as a pub
lie man, and useless to attempt to
show the widespread effect his hon
est, vigorous, straight-from-the-sh
der policies have had on the people
of the United States; but as a proof
that both have been great. we have
only TO point to that magnificent.
colossal victory last November, when
millions trooped to the polls to attest
the great verdict of the American
people.
His three years as president have
been eyentful ones. He has proven
his fitness for the highest Office in
the country's gift in many ways, and
the next four years of his residence
in the White House will be fraught
with the great attainments of
great man. backed by the greatest
nation on earth.
President Roosevelt Is president of
the whole people, and he will give us
four years of prosperous, wholesome
progress. He will do the best that
can be done TO bring success and hap
piness TO all. and wants the help and
goodwill of every loyal citizen in his
work. He will labor for the good of
the people as a nation, and will no
doubt accomplish great things, but
every man as an individual citizen
should do his utmost to help, and
thus aid in securing individual pros
perity and happiness for himself and
fellow man, as the president works
for that of the nation.
In welcoming the new administra-
tlon of President Roosevelt, Il is with
the profound hope and belief that IL

Hon. r. T. Lightfoot.
Judge McCracken County.
Dear Sir
For several days the State Inspect
or, Hon. II. b. Hines. has been in Pa
ducah, checking up the accounts Of
the county court clerk as to revenue
which the clerk has collected by vir-
tue of his office for the state of Ken
lucky.
| know that the county clerk had
collected money for the state which
he had not paid over at the time Mr..
Hines came here to check him up, but
was behind with the state over s2,-
500. l have reason to believe that
the clerk has settled the amount of
the shortage and paid it since the
state inspector came here to check
up his accounts.
The state inspector has not made
any data as to the amount of revenue
collected by Mr. Graham as county
court clerk for McCracken county,
or what he has done with il, but !
have examined the books of the
treasurer of McCracken county and
find that Mr.. Graham as county
court clerk has only paid to the treas
urer the following amounts on the

SUMS Heat Purely Electrical.

Prof. M. A. G. Himalaya, Portu.s
guese priest, who invented the pyrhe.
liophore, or sun motor, has issued a.
bulletin giving results of his expert
ments with the machine at the worlds
fair. Most important of these is the
discovery the inventor says he has
made that the heat of the sun is pure
ly electrical. The bulletin reads I'M
part:
Professor Himalaya finds that the
heat of the sun is not produced by
impact of the aerolites on the solar;
mass, or by contraction of the social.
ed solar nebulae, or by oxidation. or
chemical reaction or by ratioactivity.
He has discovered that solar radiation
is the result of unceasing and power
full electrical discharges in the solar.
atmosphere, which is the hottest zone
of that heavenly body. Consequent
ly the sun and stars are heated from
the outside, and they are neither more
nor less than immense incansescent
and indestructible electric lamps de-
voted to lighting Infinite space. Pro-
fessor Himilaya has succeeded in
finding the source of this energy, and
he has settled scientifically the pos
sibility of utilizing in future this and
some other primitive and perpetual
forces of nature. st. Louis telegram

duty. Just think how often fire.
man is called upon to enter a build
ing full of dense smoke, to rescue
some person who has already been
overcome, and the wonder is that he
is not supplied with some protection
for his own life. There does not seem
to be any reason why he should not,
for instance, wear an apparatus like
the one shown in the illustration He
could then with absolute safety to
himself enter any burning building,
with an added chance of saving any
lives that might be endangered. The
upper portion is made in the form Of
a hood or mask of alright and fire
proof fabric, to be placed over the
head of the wearer, with glass clos
ures for openings for the eyes. There
is also a cap opposite the mouth. which
closes against air from without, but
opens for the discharge of exhaled air
which has been breathed. Reservoirs
which contain compressed air or oXy-
gen for sustaining life are attached
to the back of the wearer by straps,
and connected by tube to the back of
the hood, with valves for regulating
the supply. The compressed air can
thus be readily supplied from the res
ervoirs to the interior Of the hood, to
be breathed by the wearer. After en-
tering a building filled with smoke a
fireman using this apparatus could re-
main for some time, while his hands
and arms would be free.

POSTAL TELEGRAPH SYSTEM.
Effect of Cheap Rates on the Business
in Australia,

Australia has $4,000 miles of teie-
graph lines. Its mileage in proper
ton to the population is nearly six
times as great as that Of any other
country in the world, excepting only
New Zealand. 1t has 5000 telegraph
stations for population of 100000
people, or one for every 1900 people.
The rate for messages is IL cents for
sixteen words in town or suburban
service, IS cents for the same number
of words to point within the same
state, and "a cents for message to
any part of the commonwealth. Sta
tistics three years old saow that two
and half messages a year for every
inhabitant of the country were pass
ing over the wires.
Compare these figures with the
United States, remembering that
though the population of Australia is
less than one-twentieth of our own.
the area of the country is almost ex-
actly the same as that of the United
States proper. We have $1,000 tele-
graph stations, or only one for every
5000 Inhabitants. Our wires carry
just about one message per year per
inhabitant. Our rates are from two
| to three times as high as those Of
Australia.
These facts are given by Hugh H.
Lusk, an Australian barrister and pol
itician, in the current number of the
North American Review. They are
interesting enough as showing that
Australia is leading the world in the
telegraph service it possesses, but
they have still higher interest from
the fact that all of the Australian tele-
graph lines are owned by the govern
ment, having been first built by the
states, and then taken over by the
commonwealth, along with the postal
service of the country.
Now Mr.. Lusk tells us that this
great system pays all its expenses of
operation and maintenance, together
with 8 per cent. interest on the cost
of construction. Three per cent. would

The Automobile IN Turkev.

Certain new tangled Inventions
have not yet found favor in the eyes
of the Sultan of Turkey. Long ago
he issued an edict that no machine
operated by gasoline power should
be used in his dominions; consequent.
~ no automobile has yet made an APP
pearance in Turkey. 1t seems, how
ever, says the Washington Post, that
a wealthy citizen of Constantinople
who has succumbed to the fascination
of the horseless machine wants to-
bring one into the country and has
petitioned the Sultan to modify his
order, but no sign of relenting has
come from him. s
