/ complished. and he set out 10 show
that the statement that President
Roosevelt is worth less than any
other president we have ever had"
was stupidity untrue.
The defender OF tine president in
sists that more has been accomplish
ed in Mr.. Roosevelt's term-even last
year-to bring the plratical trusts
into subsection to law than in the
three decades since the interstate
commerce law was passed. He points
out few things the president has
accomplished. Among these are the
following:
Roosevelt has brought about the
railway rate bill, which will give us
honesty in freight shipping
He Is winning out in packing house
Inspection. which will put an end to
unwholesome meat.
He has practically destroyed the
wholesale stealing of western lands
by syndicates. and saved millions Of
acres for settlers.
1t is because of President Roose-
yeit that there is to be federal pros
ecution OF the Standard Oil company.
1t is because OF him that fines ag-
gregating $4,000 have been impos-
ed upon five packing companies and
a railroad. and two freight brokers
sent to jail for violation of the anti
rebate law
u is because of him that fines
amounting to $4,000 were imposed
upon another railway and two of its
officials for a like offense.
II is because of him and his sleep
less zeal and unceasing activity that
the great corporations have been
made at last TO understand that they
are not superior to law. but must
conform to it or suffer heavy conse-
quences.
The paper trust has been destroy
ed.
The fertilizer trust faces eighty
indictments.
The tobacco trust has been COM
PEELED to bring its books into court,
and two Of its constituent companies
have been indicted.
The drug trust has been enioined.
Directly back of every one OF these
moves against corporate greed and
lawlessness was President Roosevelt.

AN EPIGRAM THAT FAILED.


II is excellent to have the faculty
of phrase making. The epigram Is the
greatest Of all vehicles for the trans
mission Of great truths.
But the epigram habit is danger
Gus one. for the reason that il is so
very easy of abuse.
When the penchant becomes over
developed. the phrase maker often
falls into the error OF subjecting all
other considerations 10 his over
weening desire TO coin a phrase.
When this point is reached. farewell
to accuracy-even to truth.
A notable epigrammist in public
life today is Senator Bailey OF Tex
as. He has the habit-has it bad,
and sometimes he perpetrates a
would-be forcibe eplgram at a great
expense.
The other day he was discussing
the expenditures of President Roose-
welt. This afforded an opening. The
opportunity was too great for him to
resist. So he stated with true Bailey
esque resonance this: Roosevelt has
cost more and is worth less than any
president we ever had"
The quip sounds terse and tart,
doesn't it?
IL did not fail to split the ears of a
few.
But is it true? VIII the world re-
ceiye il as an accurate summoning
up of Roosevelt? We think not, in
either case.
We have read this very sentence
several times before. There were a
good many paragraphs to this effect
in the last presidential campaign. or
course, as uttered by Mr.. Bailey. It
was not conscious plagiarism. Never
theless IT was not new. But from Mr..
Bailey it attracted an attention 1t had
previously failed in obtaining.
However new or old. original or
not original, It bears the ear-marks
of trained attempt to saysomething
smart and biting to the diseredit of
the president, and it added about as
much to Mr.. Bailey as IL took away
from Mr.. Roosevelt, which is not very
much.
II has not in II enough of force or
fact to make Il dignified.
It's only a "knock"--and not
very graceful knock" at that.
However, 1t accomplished a result.
II reminded a student Of current con-
ditions OF what Mr.. Roosevelt has ac-

Since reading 1t carefully the las.

innocence and lack OF perspicacity on
the part of the genial editor than the
absolute accuracy of the accusation
that Paducah'S inhospitab,e lid was

The report of the general council
last night makes good reading for the
citizen, who takes an intelligent inter
est In municipal affairs and looks on
the legislative body as his direct rep
resentative to whom he has delegated
his voice on matters of public bust
ness. Contrary to the expectations OF
some persons. there was nothing SEN
sational in the license hearing, the
boards simply adopting this means of
acquainting themselves with the facts
before granting licenses. On the
sewer question. all seemed to be OF
one mind: That the sewers are neces-
sary and that no time should be lost
in completing them. That is the way
the citizen would do If he we're there,
attending to these matters himself.
May the eecutive department proceed
with equal dispatch.
