FOR A LIBERAL POLICY.

Several matters of importance arc
be disposed of at a special meet
ing of the city council tonight. Among
them is the ordinance TO vacate a por-
ton Of Railroad strip for use by the
Bucher-Woodford Packing Company,
which has been made the subject Of
adverse criticism. II is understood
that the council favors granting the
company what it asks for. At any
rate no word of opposition was spoken
1t the two meetings of that body AZ
which IL was considered. The council
probably feels that a liberal policy
should BE- pursued not only with re
spect to new Establishments seeking a
location in Cairo but especially with
respect to those already here which
seek to enlarge their capacity for pro
mct on, swell their pay rolls. and con.
ion. swell their pay rolls. and con.
iequently increase their benefits ia
he community. And this idea will
doubtless meet with general favor in
the community-assuming, of course
that the council will impose such con
ditions upon its grant as will insure
such benefits 10 the community per
manently.

TO DISCARD STEAM
Claim That New York Central Pur.
poses to Do This Proven BY
Building of New Line.

The explanation Of the organization
Of a company TO build an electric line
from mere to Mt Carmel as a branch
Of the New York Central system which
includes the Big -Four railroad lies in
the fact that within three years the
New York Central system will be
changed entirely from steam to an
electric road. The substitution of
electricity for steam on one Of the
greatest systems in the country will be
one of the wonders Of the age and q
distinct and far reaching revolution in
railroad history.
BY the time the electric road is con
structed from here to Nj. Carmel. the
magical transportation will have
reached the Big Four road in Indiana
and Illinois.
The branch line from here 10 Mount
Carmel will have 10 be Of the very
best construction TO insure safety and
speed The Big Four will probably
build big power plant at Mt Carmel
since it has lis shops there now, and
that city Is situated on a river. In the
power plants the New York Central
has now completed. steam turbines are
used to supply the initial power.
Up to this time no one here knows
inst how soon construction work on
the Evansville. Mt Carmel and North

siasm, in which Smith will be praised

Glory" will be heard and perhaps,
Congressman Smith will favor us with
a few words the first he has uttered
before a Cairo audience in a long
time.
But say what we will, it will have
to be admitted that Congressman
Smith has a strong hold upon the
people of this congressional district
and that he has strong points in his
favor as a congressman. for no man
can be elected TO congress nine conse-
cutive times without having some title
to the honor in the minds Of those
whom he is sent there TO serve. and
Mr. Smiths title was confirmed In a
most signal manner at the recent pri'
mary. He has ample reason TO feel
proud of the confidence the voters OF
his party expressed in him and nc
doubt he will strive to be worthy of
IT during the next two years, should
he be elected.
On the other hand Mr.. Smith will
have to admit that the strong endorce
ment given him is due in no small
degree 10 the powerful machine which
he has built up in this district and
which was able to assert itself ever
more effectively under the new pri
mary law than it could under the old
system.
