talk at Washington to the erect that

editor of the West virginian. has
been appointed a director of the
State penitentiary board. and he has
also received another appointment
as delegate to the Interstate meet

tional Child Labor Committee to be
held in Cincinnati this week These
appointments are good ones If they
are thrown in one direction. 1t is
hoped that the governor will not fail
to remember that there are other
newspaper men in the state who have
worked long, hard and faithfully for
the success of the Republican party
in the state and who possess eminent
ability to hold such office as these
abilities may best be suited for
which may require appointments in
the future.

ment which has charge of the distri-
button of the ofacial documents to
ponder upon. but It took several days
to properly absorb it.
The Telegram has not yet received
it's copy Of this annual report and
without any limiting 1t takes this oc-
CASTOR to vehemently protest against
this indiscrfminate distribution of
public state documents There
must be something out OF keller ia
the bog house on the Kanawha and
we trust that the trouble whatever
1T Is shall be properly remedied- A
document of the nature of the annual
report of the state treasurer is for
the public and the newspapers of the
state should be furnished with copies
of them in order to give it to the
public And. when the yare furnish
ed they should be distributed stimuli
taneously and not over period Of
several weeks. thus giving preference
to one or two newspapers.
A news item that is worth space
in a newspaper one day is as gea-
eral thing absolutely worthless the
next and particularly so II another
has the item. The re-
suit of giving out these state docu-
ments piecemeal to one or two papers
at a. time is that those two papers
will publish the news the document
contains and the others Will not and
so a great majority of the citizens
are deprived of the news of their
state government which they pay for
and ought to have.

The brutal spectacle of number
of men subjecting themselves to the
awful strain of riding six days in a
bicycle race in Madison Square Gar
den. New York. calls to mind the
Roman amphitheatres during the
reign OF the tyrants. How any one
can get any satisfaction out of see
ing number of men undergoing
such physical torture as these races
cause is difficult to conceive. The
tyrant king of money, however, is
holding sway and the plutocrats
must be amused. Records could
be broken, victories won. bets de-
cided and the people as well enter
tanned If the races were run three
days at the most and thus could be
avoided the terrible physical endur-
ance the contestants are made to I'M
dergo.

Nc .FrancIl Tronlle.

The French trouble Is SO far across
the water that it Is not much under
stood in this country. and especially
not very keen1y appreciated in the
United States on account of un-
familiarity with the subject OF state
ana church combined. At an early
date. In fact. in the very beginning
of the settlement of America by
white people the principle was pro-
mulgated that state and church
should be kept apart. That princi-
pie has been successfully and agree
ably observed ever since ana today no
one even thinks about such union.
The constitution of the United States
itself may not provide for separa-
ton of church and state directly,
but r. certainly Indirectly recognizes
that principle.
However, in countries where they
are in union the situation is far diff
Ferent from that in this country ana
the gravity of movements to separate
them is far greater than the average
American imagfnes. That there will
be suffering on the part of the church
its clergy and laity. II the harsh
measures announced by the French
government are employed will not be
gainsaid. Indeed. there win be no
end of the suffering mentally and
physically and bloodshed and carnage
impend Revolution threatens the
Republic!
An exchange says on the subject:
The war between the Roman
Catholic church and the French gov
eminent has begun. Yesterday 26.-
900 churches, which have been the
religious homes of coutless millions
of worshippers. were declared the
property of the state; and the church
awaits eviction. During the entire
controversy the attitude of both the
Vatican and the French movements
has been unyielding, and 1t is hard
to see how their present claims can
be reconciled.
In country which is fortunately
free from entanglements OF church
and state, we can hardly realize the
gravity fthe issue in France, or
pass upon the abstract question of
right and wrong. The forcfbIe con-
fscation of enormously valuable
property and it's use by the state for
secular purposes, will work hard
ships upon thousands of good men
and women. The most tender feel
Ings of devout worshippers will be
outraged Yet. on the other hand.
the opposition of the church was of
such nature thac French Republicans
believed that the state itself was in
danger.
-'4ow much happier is the land
whose religion rests upon the volun-
tary support of it's believers. and is
under no obligation to secular or
hostile power?'
The Telegram doubts seriously
whether 1t will be we'll or wise for
the government to confscate the
church property or to attempt to
make exactions from the clergy and
laity. such as it has been announced
the government will do.
II there is to be an actual separa-
ton of church and state, there should
be reasonable and fair adjustment
Of all matters arising from that sep
aration.

Paducah's Step Forward.

The people of Paducah are Begin
ming a campaign for the issue of
bonds for the purpose of building an
electric light plant and water works.
1t is said that ninety out of every
hundred persons are signing the pc
tition to the council to order an
election. Owensboro's experience
with her electric light plant demon
strates the wisdom of the Paducah
people in their desire. This plant
has been excellently at ministered. l.
furnishes remarkably cheap lights
and is self sustaining. The COM
mercial current furnished pays the
operating expenses of the plant and
turns surplus into the treasury,
while no account is made of the 275
street lights. If these were counted
at the rate at which they are fur
nished in other places by corpora
tions the entire plant would show a
profit on the investment. Owens
boro's water works are yet in the
future so far as service is concerned,
but it is believed that they will show
the same result. Inquirer.
