Roosevelt's Methods.

President Roosevelt is the most
deliberately explained man in the
United States. and he is explained in
so many ways that numerous contra
dictions are involved in the judgments
that are pronounced upon him. We
hear at times that he is a creature of
impulse; also that he is an astute and
calculating politician; that he is bold.
determined and persistent in carrying
out bis aims: that he surrenders on
vital points; that his projects of states
inanship are carefully matured in adj
vance. that he reasons out his theo-
ries after he is committed by his acts.
of course these differences are
themselves explained for the most
part by the personal feeling and the
political sympathies and antipathies Of
those who furnish the more or less
fragmentary character Sketches. And
as many of the opinions expressed have
been formed without intimate knowl-
edge of the subject IT is interesting to
turn TO such an article as was written
for the Record Herald Sunday Maya
zine OF May 20 by Arthur Wallace
Dunn, who speaks with the authority
that comes from long association with
the president. The writer in discuss
ing ''The Roosevelt Program" empha-
sizes again and again the practical
character of tho man. He quotes him
as follows:
must work with such tools as will
accomplish best results. may
not accomplish all that desire; but
If something toward better conditions
lsachieyei even by methods not whol-
ly to my liking, my work has not been
in vain.
To the same effect is the comment
of Mr.. Dunn. who says:
The president does not believe that
great reforms can be accomplished BY
a number of individuals who lay down
an abstract moral code and raise al
standard and ask people to rally
around them.
lie knows that in legislation only
one thing can be accomplished at al
time
While striving for the best,he new
er forgets the practical and common
sense side of every situation.
Results have always stood for more
IN the opinion Of Mr.. Roosevelt than
methods.
lie never cared TO participate lnl
fnriorn hono movements
He always believed that there was
\ lesser side of two evils, and the
absolutely impractical side of any ques-
ton was the greatest Of all evils; con.
he has never been an idea
These excerpts give the dominant
note OF the article but the writer indi-
;ates alsd that though the president is
II tensely practical ne is working al,
the time for decency. cleanliness and
high ideals in politics. This is un-
the belief of the vast ma
Iority of the American people. and a.
regards the question of method they
ire not dismayed when something is
ioing.

MISSOURI LINES UP FOR BRYAN
Thirty-Thee Counties Declare for Him
TO Head 1908 Ticket.

st. Louis. May 22.-Thirty-thiee
Missouri counties now have indorsed
Bryan for the national standard bearer
IN 1908. Ten counties swung into line
at the conventions yesterday. making
none than one-fourth OF the counties
which have come out unqualifedly for
the Nebraskan. notwithstanding there
has been no agitation in the state over
national politics. One OF the unusual
features of the case is that Governor
Folk is regarded as presidential pos
siblliiy. None OF the counties so far
has mentioned the governor in connec-
ton with the presidency. though one
of them came out for him for vice
president as the running mate with
Bryan. ~ ~

Letters are being sent out to the
members Of the Commercial club by
the secretary urging each one to bring
in a new member. There is the meat
of the question, how to promote the
interests of the Commercial club. and
therein lies the test of the organiza
ton. IL stands for the business in
terest of Paducah and its strength is
exactly equal to its representative
character. The club will not grow of
its own accord. Only as its members
are active, and only as they work can
1t work. In other words, the organ
ization is nothing more than the COM
bined influence of all its members, ex-
erted, according as each plays his
part. The secretary can do nothing TO
increase the membership of the club
his time should be devoted to the ex-
ecutive work Of the organization. No
one can secure new members but the
members themselves. They undoubted-
believe it is a good thing or they
would not belong and pay dues. Nat.
urally II will be a better thing as 10
grows and becomes more representa-.
tive in character.

Sinca the city is to continue oper-
ating its own lighting plant, It is on
ly right that the plant should be
kept up to date, affording the best
possible service at a minimum cost of
operation. This is only possible with
modern first class equipment. The
recommendation of the lighting com
mittee and the board of public works
that a large sum be spent in rehablli
tating the municipal plant is wise
and should be adopted by the gener-
al council. Then, .whFn the plant is
put in shape. an expert at a reasona-
BILE salary should be employed to
manage H. II is complained that mu-
nicipal plants are not run as eco
nOmically as private plants, because
city officials do not adopt business
methods. Private concerns do not be-
gin their economy by being niggard-
by with their employees. A private
company would employ the best man
ii could find TO manage the plant and
pay him what his services are worth
II the city acquires a good plant steps
should be taken at once to keep 1t in
that condition. Otherwise the ex-
pense is useless.

err benefits to follow the extension of

greatly improve the service and

"A DIFFERENCE
IN LUNGS.

In the Edinburgh Uni
versity three human lungs lie
side by side. One is of an
Eskimo and is snow white.
In life, this would be ruddy
with rich blood. Another is
that of a coal-miner and is
black. The other is of a town
dweller and is a dirty slate
gray, as are the lungs of most
city residents. That's why
consumption thrives in cities.
One reason why SCOTS
Emulsion does so much to
keep down consumption is
because it helps to keep the
lungs clean and supplies
them with rich, red blood. 1t
makes the lungs germ-re-
sisting. If the body is run
down and health is at a low
ebb SCOTS Emulsion will
build it up quickly and per-
manentiy.

that have been ranking in our

fora the commission. inquiring into
the relations between the Pennsylva-
MIA railroad and the Pennsylvania
mines, shows nothing but a honey
comb of graft among lesser officials
of the road. Instead of involving the

seems that the latter have been re-
