gress will make its session stand oul
consplcuously above its predecessor
for many years. and the influence OF
the executive department is stamped
on Its legislation. Much of the good
work and the efficacy of reform law
are due to the presidents firmness
backed by his big stick" which
ever has been welded on the side OF
honesty. This congress is to be known
as the "two billion dollar" congress.
but the figures fail to startle any
more, and as matter of fact, several
hundreds of thousands of dollars ap-
propriated for departments will be
returned in revenue through the
same sources. The debates of this
congress we're of a higher order than
have been noticeable in recent SEES
sions and there was a lack of provin-
cialism in the attitude of the repre-
sentatives on questions affecting the
whole nation. There was an absence
OF the special lobby, busfness-like
way of inquiring into the needs Of
departments aud methods Of expend-
iture and wholesome spirit of in
vestlgation in special interests. The
senate probably manifested more
statesmanlike attitude on the whole,
but there is honor enough for all.

THE REALTY MARKET

Vanity and the love OF money. Why
have not the moralists in their strain
ing after a lesson in the STANFORD
White murder pointed out these two
factors that induced the mother Of
Evelyn Nesblt to take her daukhter
to the beauty market in New York!
The tragedy throws no sinister light
on society: for the bloody deed was
not the elimination Of a campaign for
social achievement. The stage career
suffers no blight by the incident; for
honest player folk. conscientlously
striving for the sake Of art, are en-
titled to our respect. Dramatic talent
the girl seems to have possessed none;
only her rare, rayishing beauty. AMI
her mother took her to the great mart,
where beauty finds its highest appre-
citation. And there in waiting was the
connoiseur, Stanford White. ready to
add the latest conner to his private
collection. Every year the attractive
reign OF the show girl calls to the
metropolis young women whose faces
are their fortunes. and, devoid of other
attributes, they soon learn that in
stead of being a qualification for
career" beauty, unsupported. is only
a marketable asset of perishable I'd

CURFEW.

We doubt very much that the burg
lars will pay any more attention to a
midnight curfew than the children dc
to the earlier call. OF course, if the
burglar refuses to conform to the
rules of the game and stop "burgling
at IL O'Clock, the ordinance will be OF
little avail, and as that is the burg
lars busiest time, it scarcely can be
expected that he will desist in re-
Spouse to regulation with the adop-
ton of which he had nothing to do
In fact, the curfew ordinance should
meet with his unqualified approval
because 1t is to be expected that the
patrolmen will be so occupied ques-
tioning pedestrians on the street. that
they will have little time for guarding
property.
Nor do we in our minds eye see
the good citizen scampering nome
when the deep tones of the warning
boom out on the midnight air We
can imagine, though, the disgust of
the tired traveller, just off the train
with suspicious appearing bundle
under his arm, when he is stopped
and quizzed by a guardian of the
peace as to his business in Paducah.
The truth of the matter is, that no law
this city, the state of Kentucky or the
United States of America can pass
may be executed so as to deprive the
citizen of his right to walk the streets
at any hour he pleases or at any pace
ne assumes. Certainly, we all ought
to be in bed at that time and il rigid
discipline in this regard were enforced
we might feel better next morning. but
this happens not to come within the
police powers of municipality.
As to the burglar. he is the last
person to be overtaken by a patrol
man in his perambulations. Police
men are well aware that it is the first
duty of a good" burglar to spot
the copper on the beat on which he
friends TO operate, and the burglar
knows the whereabouts of the uni
formed policeman all the while That
is where he has the advantage ovar
the householder, who wants one in an
emergency. Knowing where to find
the copper. the burglar is not likely
to encounter him in making an es-
cape, and the burglar is about the
only criminal who iourishes after mid
night, Pickpockets and ho,d-up men
necessarily must work while the
crowd is out. Most citizens who stay
out until after midnight are pretty
well plucked by then.
As to stopping suspicious charac-
'ers. the policemen now have ample
authority, and the only effect. It
'eems, Of the curfew ordinance would
'e to specify between what hours
his authority may be exercised.
The idea of a curfew ordinance was

Increasing Railroad Assessments.

1Il\i CdSih& NoAAiVoN
The Railroad Commission has
advanced the assessments on
railroads about % per cent and
on telephones, telegraph lines,
ETC., more than 80 per cent, the
aggregate increase approxima-
ting twelve million dollars.
The Star has been the consis-
tent advocate of fair assessments
of all prop, rty tor purposes tax
alton. W. have contended that
if the property liable to taxation
was returned at rs per cent of
it's value there would be no occa
sion for borrowing money for
any purpose whatever; that gen
erous appropriations might be
made to all State educational and
elemosynary institutions and the
State tax rate might be material
ly reduced.
We do not pretend to say that
the assessments fixed by the COM
mission upon the railroads are
above their value. We know
nothing about that. But we
very strongly suspect that they
arc out OF proportion to other
assessments made in the several
counties, and in that far arc in
equitable in compelling these
corporations to bear an undue
share of the tax burden.
1t is we'll known that property,
in Mississippi, it assessed at fifty
per cent OF its real value, unifor
mly throughout the State, would
yield a much larger revenue than
is now collected. We all know
that the greatest inequality pre-
walls in this respect. That pine
lands worth SIS per acre r Of
ten returned at five dollars, and
lands in the Delta that the own
er would not sell for $50 an acre,
are given in at ten dollars and
less. Ifthe railroads are required
to pay upon the full value OF their
property to pay upon at least an
approximate valuation?
This Action OF the Railroad
Commission may, Indeed, be
designed TO call the attention OF
the reviewing boards of the sew
eral counties to the gross Unequal
tiles now prevailing and bring
about such a revision OF assess
meuts all along the line US will
give the State a much lager rev.
enue while reducing the State
tax rate to five mills.

Newspaper Ruling
SOME INTERESTING DECISIONS AY UNITED
STATES eUPRKMR COURT AZ TO THE
LIABILITY OF SUBSCRIBERS.

/. If subscribers order the discon-
tinuance Of their periodicals, the pnb-
Usher may continue to send same until
all arrearages are paid.
9. If subscribers refuse to take
their periodicals from the postofice to
which they are addressed, they are re-
sponsible until they have settled their
bills and ordered the paper Tor other
periodically discontinued.
3 IF subscribers move to other
PAGES without informing the publisher,
and the papers are sent to the former
address, subscribers are responsible.
4 The Court has decided bat re-
fusing to take periodicals from the
postofice, or removing and having
them uncalled for, is prima facie evi-
dcnce of intentional fraud.
5. If subscribers pay in advance,
they are bound to give notice at the
end of the time if they do not wish to
continue the periodical; otherwise the
publisher is authorized to continue
sending it and the subscriber is respon-
sible until an cypress notice, with pay
ment of all arrearages, is sent to tiieI
publisher.
6. The latest postal laws arc such
that a newspaper man can arrest any
one for fraud that takes his paper and
refuses to pay for it. Under the law,
the man who allows his subscription to
run along Tor some time unpaid and
then orders it discontinued, or orders{
the postmaster to mark it refused and
has a postal card sent notifying the
publisher of such fact, renders himself
liable to prosecution, arrest and fine,
the same as for theft.

Shrieking and Shooting

1t is a comfort to realize when
we hear people talking about
"the good9old times that used to
be-" that in some respects, at
least, we show more common
sence today. One iii stance is in.
our attitude toward women.
There was a time when women
was expected to shrek aud faint
in almost any emergency. 1t was
even considered an attractive ex-
hibition of dependence. Today
we parden lack OF nerve and self
possession IN q women almost as
little as in q man. The girl who
rides and shoots has taken the
place of the girl who used to
shrek aud faint. No small fac
tor in bringing this welcome
chang about has been the cam
paign carried on by the j. Stew
ems Arms and Tool Company,
Chicopee Falls, Mass, makers Of
the famous Stevens firearms,
who have introduced our girls to
the healthy, up building sport OF
outdoor shooting. The company
have issued a catalog illustrating
many varieties of light weight
rifles, shotguns and pistols which
girls all over the country are
useiug today, It contains much
useful and interesting informa-
ton on such points as the selec-
ton, care and testing of firearms,
besides notes on ammunition,
targets, etc. We understand
this book of reference will be
sent free to any one sending tour
