MAY NOT REQUIRE
p'iT DAIRY LICENSE
City Officials Considering Re-
vocation of Present Law.
IL Is Claimed That Its Enforcement Is
Driving Many Farmers Away
From Paducah.
HUCKsTERs IN SAME STATUS

1t is rumored that the dairy license
law may be revoked and milk dealers
be allowed to sell their product with
out securing a permit. The reason
given is that farmers who come to
town once a week and sell a few gal
Ions of butermilk and a few pounds
of butter are driven away from Padu-
cab and their trade is lost.
River men have reported that Hi
nois farmers who come to Paducah
are talking about doing their trading
at Metropolis in the future, as they
are met at the wharf by the license in
spector. Whatever justification there
may be in the complaints of the farm
ers the complaints have reached off,
cial quarters. OF course the license
inspector has nothing TO do but to en-.
force the law as he understands 1t as
long as the law exists. The state.
ment is made in official circles that
the law never was intended to reach
the farmer who does not regularly deal
in milk. There are fifty licensed deal
ers.
The same state of affairs Is said to
exist in regard to hucksters and farm
ers who bring small amount OF truck
to the city

PROMISED IN BUSINESS OF PA
DUCAH POSTOFFICE.
Receipts for Month of May, Instead
of Decrease, Show Increase
Of $331.0i.

The official report of the Paducah
postoffice department shows instead
of a decrease, as at first, an increase
in the receipts over May 1905. The
report was finished today and shows
the local department took in s331.64
more during May, 1906, than May,
1905. This is evidence of the rapid
growth of Paducah and the increas-
ing business in the postoffice shows
the mercantile business is on the
jump. The postoffice receipts have
gradually grown this year and If they
continue, will mean a banner year
for the Paducah postoffice.

President Roosevelt Exposes
Their Secrets.
Recommends Strictcst Governmental
Inspection Before Product Can
lie shipped Out.
EXTRACT FROM THE MESSAGE.

President Roosevelt today submitted
10 congress the report of James
bronson Reynolds and Charles =.
Nela into the conditions OF the pack
ing houses. with recommendations.
The chief complaint Is that whilo gov
eminent inspection is necessary TO ex-
port meat II is not necessary for inter
state commerce. The president also
points out that government inspection
goes only to the healthfulness of the
animal. while the conditions under
which the meat Is prepared is ignored.
The Message.
The message in part is as follows:
The report shows that the stock
yards aud packing houses are not kept
even reasonably clean. aud that the
method of handling and preparing food
products is uncleanly and dangerous TO
health Under existing law the ma
tional government has no power to en-
force inspection OF the many forms OF
prepared meat food products that are
daily going from the packing houses
into Interstate commerce. Owing TO
an inadequate appropriation the de-
partmont OF agriculture is not even
able 10 place inspectors In all estab-
lishments desiring them. The present
law prohibits the shipment OF unin-
specied meat to foreign countries, but
there Is no provision forbiddlng the
shipment Of unexpected meats In In
tcrstate commerce. and thus the ave
MUGS OF interstate commerce are left
open to traffic in diseased or spoiled
meats. ". as has been alleged on
seemingly good authority further evils
exist. such AZ the improper use Of
chemicals and dyes, the government
lacks power to remedy them. A Law
Is needed which will enable the in
spectors of the general government to
inspect and supervise from the hocf 10
the can the preparation Of the mea'
food product. The evil seems to be
much less In the sale OF dressed car
cases than IN the sac of canned and
other prepared products.
In my judgment the expense of the
inspection should be paid bv a fee
levied on each animal slaughtered. u
this is not done. the whole purpose OF
the law can at any time be defeated
through an insufficient appropriation.
The alarm expressed in certain quar-
tors concerning this feature should be
allayed by a realization of the fact that
In no case, under such law, will the
cost OF inspection exceed cents per
head.
cal special attention to the fact
that this report Il prelimlnary. and
that the Investigation is stu uniin-

Let me repeat that under the pres
ont law there is practically no method

Fred B.. Smith, the Y. M. G. A. worker,

story OF Australia. Before he started, he
told a friend of his proposed trip and said
that he planned to visit Australia last.
That's good remarked the friend.
Because an American always feels at

Australia.
Yes, that's fine was the comment.
An American always feels at home in

Meeting another friend from this coun-

visit Australia and then go home.
"'When you get to Australia, you will
feel as II you were at home remarked the
friend.

MnIiona HaIted for Poverty.

From the New York Press.
4 He was o little Italian about 10 years
old and he dragged laboriously after him
a wooden box, which he had rugged up
with wheels to make a rude wagon. IN
this were piled pieces and scraps OF wood
gathered from the refuse heaps OF new
buildings and from every other possible
source, as the children of the poor are
trained early how and where 10 find fuel.
on his crosstown Journey he came to
Fifth avenue and paused In the shadow
iof a towering paiatial hotel bewildered at
the steady stream of traffic. How could
he ever get his precious burden across,
who would notice such a Tiny little
fellow TO give him a helping hand.
But the big man in blue, standing In the
center OF the street saw him. One arm
was raised. and as II by magic the mighty
stream stopped. The other arm was held
out e-neouragingly, with a Come on, SON
ny; it's all right"
He was just a little chap, and In case
of an accident a jury would have awarded
his parents a verdict OF 8 cents, but he
held up a mil~l.on-dollar line to get his
wood across the street.
