col. c. II. THOMAS DEAD.
Was Father of Mrs. X. A. Hicks and
Formerly Lived Here.

Col. Chas. II. Thomas died on Sat
urday, January %, in Atlanta, Ca,
where he was living with his son,
Mr.. Edwin Thomas, having moved
from Paducah last fall. when DR..
Robert A. Hicks and family removed
to Knoxville. Tenn, and having
made his home here with his daugh-
ter, Mrs. Hicks. for several years.
Col. Thomas was a true southern
gentleman OF the old school and will
be pleasantly remembered by many
friends in Paducah.
He was a prominent lawyer at
Knoxville, Tenn, for a number OF
years, where his remains were taken
for burial by the United Confederate
Veterans camp there, Of which he
was an honored member.
Col. Thomas was a brilliant writer
and contributed many valuable ar
ticles to the local papers where he
lived, and to the leading magazines
of the country

ACCEPTS OFFER
AND MIR. HERBERT WALLER
STEIN BECOMES ONE OF
THE "PROFESH."
4 New York Firm Buys "Mister
Moon at Good Round
Figure.

Mr. Herbert Wallerstein today re-
ceiyed a communication from the
Whitney-Warner company. of New
York, notifying him that his song
Mister Moon" which was sung in
Padpeah recently in Buster Brown. -
and is still being featured in that
show, had been accepted by the firm
end will be immediately published
in large numbers and sold through
ont the country. o
This is splendid recognition OF Mr..
Wallerstein's talents and in addi-
tion will net him quite q sum. He
has disposed of his rights for cash,
but the exact consideration is not
made public. That IL cannot be ex-
pressed in less than three figures,
however is as near to the amount
as has been divulged.
Mr.. Wallerstein has written sever
al songs and composed considerable
music. and at last seems TO have
struck his gait. and his friends ex-
pect a great many things from him.
he now has two or three other
songs about ready for the market,
and having one successful compost
ton on the road. and market, he
will doubtless find it easier to dis
pose of his songs hereafter.

Paducah's Commercial club,
through its officers. particularly Sec
retary Coons, is doing a great good.
There is much rivalry nowadays
between cities for new Industries,
and for this reason in most instances
city has to get up and hustle tc
land anything good. The progressive
citizens should cooperate in every
way possible with the Commercial
club. We have one of the best cities
in the country. despite the Obvious
fact that there are so many ways In
which it can be improved. We are
all proud of what we have, and re
gret what we have not, but the thing
TO do now is get busy and make Pa
ducah the best city OF its size in the
country. IL can be done. but it must
be done largely through the best
class of men and women. They must
do a great deal of work to overcome
the disadvantage of drones, grafters,
and other menaces to good govern
ment. The Sun is always ready to
do its share towards improving the
city.

Gov. Preston Leslie is eighty-sev-
en- years old. yet still vigorous and
forceful and having a clear memory
for the things of years gone by. Mr..
Leslie has the unique distinction OF
being the former governor of two
states. having been the chief execu-
tive OF Kentucky from 1871 to 1878.
and appointed governor OF his adopt
ed state, Montana, for two years and
a half. during the first term of Pres
ident Cleveland. He left this stat.
nineteen years ago, and has in i
measure grown up with the west. He
has not been in this part of Ken
lucky for nine years.
Gov. Leslie's itinerary before
reaching here has included Nash
vilh, Glasgow and TompkInsyille.

Green.
'1t Is a remarkable fact" he said
in an interview. that of the state
officers who served in is71-75, all
but John G. Carlisle. then lieutenant
governor, and myself. are dead. and
10th OF us now live outside the state
We alone have been spared"
Though Gov. Leslie is now by
adoption a. westerner, he still has
distinct ideas about problems which
concern the south. Regarding the
negro question. he said. ''lf the out
siders in the north would leave this
question alone. 1t would settle itself,
and the negro and the southern
white man would live side by side in
reace and friendship. But the ne
groes are being made to feel dissat-
lsfied and oppressed. and this is
causing an i'll spirit. The people
away from the south can know moth
ing of the question, and should leave
if alone.
Terrible questions were up for
settlement when l was governor" he

After Confederate Home Maragc-

Frankfort. KY. Jan. 3i.--Senator
Ben Johnson. chairman OF the com
mittee ON Charitable Institutions.
offered in the senate at the request
OF Mr.. Alexander Lawson. a former
financial agent OF the Confederate
Home at Pewee Valley. a statement
tnd resolution asking for an investi-
cation OF the institution. and charg-
ing gross mismanagement of its af-
fairs.
The bill OF complaints, as 1t might
be termed. Is very long and contains
many charges against the manage
ment of the home, which are SUNNI
I'd up in resolution declaring in ef-
feet that the Institution has been
woefully mismapaged; thai It's sup
plies have been wasted: That high
prices have been paid for inferio-
provisions; that proper respect has
been lacking TO the dead and INSULT
cent attention given TO the dying
end i'll; that patients and veterans
have been mistreated; that the rela-
tives OF the superintendent and the
matron have been allowed to remain
at the Home In violation of the rules
OF the Institution, taking up the
room that should be reserved for the
veterans and their wives; that the
superintendent is incapable: that the
president of the board admits the in
oapability OF the superintendent. but
continues to keep him In charge; that
the discourtesy shown by the presi-
dent toward the Daughters OF tho
Confederaey has prevented them
from visiting the institution as they
formerly did. and that donations to
the Home have been misapplled.
The senate, by resolution. ordered
a complete investigation of the
charges.

Paducah has representatives in
the legislature who seem to take a
great deal of interest in their home
city, and who both have influence.
Although the legislature has done
very little to speak of thus far. the
indications are that when II gets
everything in shape the windup will!
be prolific in results. aud our own
representatives will be there to look

found at Cairo. Three days have
elapsed since they took charge OF
the case and about all they know is
that she is dead. They are apparent

GIVES THE PRESIDENT HIS DUES

GIVES THE PRESIDENT HIS DUES
The Louisville Times, usually very
narrow and intolerant along polite
al lines, thus defends the president:
- "The New York World is engaged
in thankless task when it attempts
to prove that the president consented
to the use of photographs and a
sketch of himself. in Fads and Fan
cies when the matter was first
broached to him, and that his letter
of November /, 1905, to Col. Mann.
refusing to accept copy of the book
and denying all knowledge of its
preparation. is ruse to escape ad-
verse criticism. Mr.. Roosevelt has
done. and is likely to do, a number
of things to subject himself to ad-
verse criticism. but they have not
been small or cowardly things. If
agents of Col. Mann secured photo
graphs and sketch Of Roosevelt, it
may be accepted as certain that the
president had no idea of the purpose
to which they were to beaput

and blaekmailer. The World can, do
better than to seek to make political
capital out of any scheme in which

The city has failed to give the peo-
pie of Paducah good light, a1d as
long as the city runs the light plant,
it does not have to. A private con-
tract would mean that the contrac-

light. The people can't force the
city to give them good light but
they could force a private corpora
