kIPIING SEES BOER RULE AGAIN
Poem on South Africa Satire ON the
British Government.

London. July 2S.-The Standard
this morning publishes a stirring poem
by Rudyard Kipling. entitled South
Africa" which the Standard calls an
Eloquent yet condensed statement Of
the British case" in that country. It
is satire on the governments alleged
haste to frame new constitutions for
the South African colonies, under
which some persons fear that Boer as
tendency will be again established In
the Transvaal. Mr.. Kipling reminds
Eng,ishmen of the price paid 10 loose
1.-THE yoke meath which our brethren
lay" and condemns the alleged treach-
cry by which the colonists will be
again betrayed into the hands of tho
Beers. saying:
Our rulers Juggling device
To sell them back again.
In this connection it is said the gov
ernment's plan contemplates securing
majority of British representatives
in the proposed Transyaal legislative
assembly. Nevertheless the opposi-
ton in the house Of commons will
vigorously fight the proposed constl-
tuition.

"pADrcAH 80. 900 :"

This may be a dream. II may be a
prophesy. 1t depends on the people
of Paducah
There are 2S $50 people living in
Paducah. Probably a score years ago,
II anybody had predicted city of
this size at the confluence of the
Ohio and Tennessee rivers, he would
have been classed as dreamer.
There are a lot of dreams coming
true these days. We don't mind
dieamers, If they see visions OF a
great city on Paducah's site, and
wear that dream on buttons fastened
in their coat lapels.
II is true that the money from
the sale of the ornamental buttons,
which is the only revenue of the
$4,000 club" will be used In aiver-
Using Paducah but this is not the
end and ultimate object of either the
club or the money The ultimate OBJ
ject of the club and the money is to
secure a population of $4,000 for
Paducah. So. the member has not
fulfilled his public duty by merely
buying button He must wear the
button. That hutton will proclaim to
all who see him. that he is for a
population OF $4,000; that he is
working for il; that he believes in
it. tsl
Then he can't knock.
There is the core of the whole
matter. If you have a friend. who
is a "knocker," buy a button and
put 1t on his coat. II you have an
enemy. who is belittling Paducah,
and injuring the town and incidental-
Iy your trade, buy a button and fas-
ten IL on his coat.
No magic is claimed for the tails
man: "Panducah 10000" The days
of the black art are numbered. Rea-
son has explained the theory of every
phenomenon. Psychology accounts
for all the rest OF II.
The little button is guaranteed,
however. TO change the disposition of
every "knocker" in three months. or
money refunded. It's simple enough.
"A man can't wear button proclaim
ing him a $4,000 advocate and run
down the town at the same time.
AS soon as an acquaintance catches
sight of the button he says: II see
you belong to the 10000 club"
u distinguishes him from the
Knockers. The little monitor &c.
900" is with him always. n another
decries Paducah in his presence. he
is bound TO defend the city. or throw
away the button. If he. throws away
the button. somebody will ask him
why he remains in Paducah. That
button will make him defend the
down In a week; seek argument to
sustain his faith in a population of
10000 in month"; and get him into
the Commercial ciub in three
months.
When he begins 10 look for argu-
ments in favor OF Paducah's growth
he is an "ex-knoeker." The argu-
ments are all around him, in the ele-
mcnts. II he looks into the sky.

SPEAKER CANNON
TALKS ABOUT
PLUTOCRATS

st. Joseph, Mich, Sept. 13.-Speaker
Cannon was the guest of honor at a
banquet at Berrien county republi-
cans last night.
Our friends are always talking
about the plutocrats," Speaker Cannon
said. They are as strong on pluto
Gratis as the old-fashioned doctor was
on fits. Yet there are seven million
depositors in the savings banks of
the country who own the money of
the country. Are they plutocrats =?
There never was a nation in the world
where sealth was so evenly dis
tributed as in this country of ours"
Concerning his position on the la
Dor question Speaker Cannon said:
People have asked me if l was go
ing to fight labor in my district
say to them No; there are 5000 union
men in my district and l do believe
it would be better for the republican
party to go down to defeat than to
submit to the unreasonable demands
that make fish of one and flesh of
another"

notify the charge d affaires, Sleeper,
of her arrival and that she was at the
legations service. Asked as TO the
Denver's available landing force in
case of an uprising. Commander
Colwell replied that while she carried
no marines at present she had $50
well drilled and armed sailors and
several field guns which could be put
ashore on Is minutes notice. There
is a wide diversity of comment with
reference to the Denver's presence in
this harbor. Some, who are es-
pecially anxious for American inter
vention, consider that the presence
of American warships, while tending
perhaps to quiet revolutionary activ-
ity, will lessen the probability of i'm
mediate Intervention. Others believe
the insurgents are now so desperate
that they will fight on no matter
what may be the outcome. All. how
ever, agree that the American war
ships are certain to remain in Cuban
ports until matters are settled and
peace not only completely restored.
but definite understandings reached
concerning the future.

SOUTHLAND IN
A BRYAN FRENZY

Louisville, Sept. 13.-Entering the
Southland for the first time in two
years, William J. Bryan yesterday re.
ceiyed a welcome which in warmth
and spontaniety has not been sur
passed by any of the greetings given
him since his return from his tour of
the world. His arrival in this city
provoked great outbursts of acclama.
tions from thousands of marchers
and yet more thousands on the
streets. His reception at the armory
last night, where he addressed a
crowd of 10000 people, was nothing
less than volcanic eruption of en-
thusiasm. At the meeting last nigat
Mr. Bryan was welcomed to Kentucky
BIZ his whilom opponent, Henry Wat
telson, who presided Other speakers
pre- eeded MIR. Bryan were Senators
Carmack of Tennessee and Stone of
Missouri. A notable feature was Mr..
Watterson's declaration that he rec.
ognized Mr.. Bryan as the democratic
chieftain in the approaching contest.
Mr.. Bryan's speech was largely de-
voted to reiteration and elaboration
of his New York views on government
ownership of railroads.

John Mitchell, president of tisS
United Mine Workers, has been talh-
ing about the various methods in use
at the mines for Weighing cUal Of
one method, a method Of the past, he
said:
This method was long ago abaE-

method, in fact, was scarcely worse
THE fist and pound method origin
ated, they say, in Scranton. A SIM

day and asked for pound Of bacon.
The old lady cut off generous chunk
Of bacon, and then. going to weigh n.
found that she had mislaid her pound
weight somewhere
THE man, seeing that there waE
about two pounds in the chunk cut
off, said, hastily:
Never mind. Ny fist weighs 3
pound
And he put the bacon On one Size
of the scales and his fist on the 9th

wrapped the bacon up.

"Ah, she said, in a relieved voice
now we can prove this business. PuE

Fond du Lac, Wis, Sept 13.-As
the result of an alteration between
City Engineer George Stanchfield and
NJ. McCugo of McCugo & Bruett,
notice has been served on the Barber
Asphalt company of Chicago to take
Mr.. McCugo from the SheboygaL
street paving contract. It Is said that
the city engineer objected to the tile
which was being used in the construc-
ton Of a gutter and threw some OF t
into trench. McCugo is alleged to
have pushed the city engineer into the
ditch, and afterward two bystanders
interfered. Severa' laborers who
were working on the street attempted
to interfere but the conflict was set
tied before they arrived. Mr.. Stanch-
field has requested that MIR. McCugo
suspend operations and is willing TO

licans Of Illinois may have lost two
congressional districts in Chicago ana
one in the southern portion of the

normally democratic districts.
Otherwise, he said, the outlook in

HEAVY VOTE
FOR PRIMARIES

OOficial returns of the recent pri-
mary election, coming in at the Office
OF the secretary of state, indicate that
there was a heavy vote out for the
primaries. Some 125,000 votes were
cast in the state. The total voting
strength of Wisconsin is nearly 500,-
600. If only 125,O00 votes were cast
in an election it would be considered
an exceedingly light vote, but this is
an unusually heavy vote for l,ri-
maries Ordinarily the representa-
ton at caucuses has been much small
err than the strength of the recent pri-
mary election, but with the new law,
which enables voters to perform the
nominating function all at one visit
to the polls it is natural that larg-
er representation would be out.

Philippine CHURCH
PROPERTY IN DISPUTE

Washington, Sept. 13-Archbishop
Ireland, accompanied by Bishop O7Gor-
man of South Dakota, called at the
war department yesterday to talk with
officials regarding the settlement OF
questions that have arisen in the Phil
ippinas in connection with the owner
ship of lands and buildings lately in
possession of religious orders. Mu-
nicipal authorities are claiming the
property on the ground that the lands
were titled and the buildings erected
by the labor of the people, exacted by
the church in lieu of money taxes.
The fact that the lands have been oc-
cupied for many years past by squat
ters without payment of rent has com
plicated settlement. Nothing definite
was accomplished yesterday and they
will make another visit to the depart
ment at a later date.
