Editorial Comment.

From the New London Comm Globe.
The old rumor that has been started SO
many times about Mrs. Eddy being Ill,
being represented by substitute, being
out of her mind-in short lot of nom
sense-has been taken so seriously this
time that Scientists have been greatly
disturbed and have taken committees of
prominent people in Concord to call on
her and the alleged substitute. These
all unite In saying that Mrs. Eddy Is
well and keen of mind and manages her
own affairs, the last being respectfully
suggested as course that her calumnia-
tors ought to emulate. There is nothing
gained by such baseless rumors? 1t is
a method that does not commend itself
to any creed or any following, for the
time that is wasted in decrying others In
evitably takes away from our own
achievements No matter what the phys
ical and bodily state of Mrs Eddy. 1t Is
the concern of her followers; and II every
allegation were true, it ought to be

On the whole, the disciples of Mrs. Eddy
have no good reason TO complain of the
outcome of the latest attack on her. It's
a boomerang.

A GOOD MOVE STARTED.

The board of public works has
started a move by which II hopes to
rid the city of the countless number
of telephone, telegraph and electric
light poles, but the fight promises
to be a long one.
The board hopes to effect an agree
ment in time between the two tele-
phone companies. the Paducah Light
and Power Co. and the city to use
the same poles where it is possible
and cut down the number of poles in
use. So far the board has attempted
this on but two companies, the Light
company and the Home telephone
company. -''-" - 80
The city is willing to permit the
use of its poles by other companies
and in addition to this to inaugurate
crusade against advertising by use
of the street poles, on which cards
of every description are tackled.
These are matters which are given
the minutest attention by other cities
and they are greatly beautified by
reason Thereof.
The Paducah sun., 1906-03-29
A MOST WORTHY REQUEST.


The Commercial club has petition
ed the finance committee of the coun-
Gil boards to recommend that the
city contribute $1,000 this year to
the club. and has had conference
with the joint committees of the
two boards to discuss the PROPOSE
ton.
II should be done by all means.
The city should have contributed to
the club last year. but had no funds,
nor authority. to do SO. but an act
was passed by the legislature giving
cities OF the second class the proper
authority, and there are no legal re-
strictions why It should not be done.
There are, however, a number of
very excellent reasons why il should
be done. There is no organization
in Paducah that is working as hard
for the city's advancement and gem
eral welfare ais the Commercial club.
and II should be assisted in every
measure possible by the city, and
the individual citizens. The club
has done some very effective work
the past year, and has good deal
of work on nand that require money
to consummate. The members who
are in the position to best appreciate
its work the past year have doubled.
and some OF them quadrupled, their
contributions, and 1t is but right
that the city. as. a municipality.
should do something for 1t.
The competition among cities for
new industries and new citizens is
just as keen as the bid for work in
any line of human activities, and the
cities that will succeed are the ones
that go out after such industries
and citizens with the most vigor and
enthusiasm, money and the best in
ducements. Paducah has the vigor,
the enthusiasm, the energy, and
some means, but not enough of the
latter, which is one of the very first
essentials to the successful prosecu-
tion. of competitive work of any ma
ture.
The council will do well, there
fore, to consider the clubs petition.
and it should grant their request.
The entire city derives benefits from
its work, but only few contribute.
1t is an easily verified fact that the
citizens of PaducRhi who ,ar9 the
most benefited by the location of
new Industries here. and the subse-
quent increase in the population that
follows, are the ones who
never contribute a cent at any time
to the clubs work. Let the city give
ii 1880 a year and every citizen,
in this way. is giving something.
The council will make no mistake
in granting the clubs request.

NEW WAGE SCALES
IMPORTANT PERIOD APPROACH
ING FOR RAILROAD TRADES
MEN.
Their Unions Considering Matter and
Also Drawing Away from Gen.
eraI Federation.

The time is drawing near for the
different trades in the mechanical
department of the |. c. to draw up
new wage scales. and the unions will
begin to meet next month. The out
look, is very serious and the matter
of drawing up, the scale a delicate
one. as ii all depends on the coal
strike situation to a great extent.
1t means that IL the strike becomes
general the unions will stand little
chance of getting increases, should
any be demanded, for the railroads
would be in no position to grant such
favors.
The blacksmiths have selected j..
Thomas to represent the local
brotherhood of blacksmiths in tht
Chicago district council which will
meet next month 10 draw up the
scale to be presented to the higher
officials. Prior to this council meet
ing the local urfons on all divisions
will meet to instruct delegates and
until the delegates forming the coun-
ell meet and a strike a medium
little can be told of the scale. How
ever, as far as the local union is con
cerned. the demand will not call foT
much of an increase IL any at all.
''Do you know that the railroad
unions are gradually drawing awas
from the federations of labor and are
becoming Individually separate
body from the masses. OF unions" a
well known local rallroader and
union man stated this morning
"The pipe filters here are preparing
to ask for a contract, with the COM
rany such as is made annually with
the blacksmiths, boilermakers, ma
chinists etc. and they will. prob
ably get one when they are fully or
ganized and present il in the regu
lar form. The carmen, like several
other brotherhoods or orders, have
Withdrawn from the federation be
cause it is apparent that the besl
results can be had. Sometimes aflil
iation with federations not intimate
ly connected with the. railroads
means a drawback, a hindrlnee in
stead of a help. and this feeling is
becoming dominant every year. J
think there will come time when
the railroad unions will be, distincil,
and apart, more 4. railroad, combina,,
ton, and when. i does the .epployes
will be better benefited believe"
The natural tendency sens to b.
to form unions in all trades to ap-
point committees from each to meet
as body to govern generally the en-
tire body on moves where the entire
road may be affected II will be tc
the railroad union union govern
ment such as Central Body is to the
federations-to, the town unions. and
the move is beginning to strike the
Paducah shops with no little force.

ly one-haif OF the imports. says the
Chicago Record Herald.
= That continent Is both our great
est customer and thk greatest seller
OF goods to us. but is not relatively
as strong In either role as 1t once
was. For we are told that before
1890 the share of our imports drawn
from Europe averaged about 55 per
cent. that IL declined to little more
THIN so per cent after 1890, and
that 1t was but. asa per cent. In
1905. Furthermore, 1t appears as
regards exports that prior to 1887
the share sent to Europe was over so
per cent. of the whole, and that since
that time the percentage has fallen
until it reached 72 per cent In
1902 and 67.23 per cent. in 1905.
In a general comparison 1t is
shown that these changes are partly
explained by growing imports OF
tropical and subtropical products and
by the growing demand for our man
ufactures in nonmanufacturing re-
gions. But very remarkable
change Is to be noted in the case of
our next-door neighbor, Canada.
From 1875 to 1905 our imports from
that country were more than doubled
and our exports to the Dominion
more than quadrupled. Further
more. this increase of exports has
kept on despite tariff concessions to
the United Kingdom, which was grad
ually enlarged till they reached
SO 1-3 per cent. in 1900. The re-
suit is that the share of the total I'M
ports of Canada that came from
Great Britain declined from 42.G per
cent. in 1887 to "a per cent in 1905.
and the share of the United States
increased from something more than
AZ per cent. in 1887 to CO.'S per cent.
in 1905.
Between 1901 and 1906 our ex-
ports of iron and steel manufactures
TO Canada increased from s20,01S,-
413 to, ,sS1.754, sos. and our exports
of coal from s14,62O.627 to s22,-
1868. These are the largest items,
but the advance seems to have been
very general except in the case of
foodstuffs which show a decrease.

MANY COMPLIMENTS
WERE PAID LOCAL MEDtCOS
LAST NIGHT BY DIR. AUD.
Were Also Told Some Things Calcu-
lated to Profit Themselves and
the Public.

The Paducah medical fraternity.
in fact the fraternity of the entire
county, should feel proud of its place
in the state. 1t is first in standing
in the state society and high among
the. associations composing the Ma
tional Doctors Association.
The above is the tenor of the re-
marks made by DR.. Aud. of Cecilia,
president of the State Medical asso-
citation, In his addrtss to the Nc
Cracken County Medical society last
night at the city hall. DR.. Aud was
loud in his praises of the county and
city doctors and gave them first
place in standing in the state, not
because he thought teh medicos de-
served compliment. but because
it is due them that they
know in what light they stand.
"The doctors composing the Nc
Cracken Medical society stand first
in the state association DR.. Aud de-
clared in his address. ''and you
should feel proud of T.. The mem
bers of this society stand first in
number in attendance and in prompt
ness of work in the meetings. This
is what wd have to go blythe gauge
we use in sorting out the standing
of the county societies. The records
show this and you have a record to
feel proud Of"
The medical fraternity often re-
ceives hard knocks according to DIR
Aud, but this is due to the igno-
rance of the masses. who do not
look at the matter in the right light.
"You doctors hold your meetings
promptly in this association, but
there is one thing | find we all fail
to do, and that is to make our meet
ing public We should not stop al
inviting the laity-the press in par
ticular-but should see that the
newspaper men come up and give
our meetings. our actions. space in
their columns" DR.. Aud continued
1--WE are not formed together as a
body of men to be successful finan-
cially; we are here to do good for
the general public, and often our ef
forts are not appreciated. We dc
charge for our services because
we have got to live, AMI ii is MOI
more than right that We attend to
our collections. but the profession,
as a profession. is here to do good
and we should see that the public ap-
preciates and feels it. | want yor
doctors TO do just what I am trying
to do; invite the newspapermen up
and see that they come. Make them
give us space and let the people
know that We work night and day
for excellence in our profession, tha'
we may better fit ourselves for good
to mankind"
Dr. Aud paid the local fraternity
the greatest compliment possible To
pay il. and his speech possibly left a
better flavor in the county society
members mouths than the elaborate
supper served later at a local cafe.

TO THE WOMEN OF PADUcAH.

The Sun is publishing an article in
another part of today's issue, on
page three, that 1t commends to the
consideration of the women OF Padu-

best movements ever carried to a
successful conclusion in the city were
started by the women of Paducah,
and The Sun relies on them to take
the initiative In a movement to make

There are some excellent ideas in
