FALL FOLIAGE.

Some people have an idea that 1t Is
the frost which gives the brilliant col
oring to the leaves in the fall of the
year. This is mistake. The color
comes as a part of the natural process
of ripening of the foliage just as it
comes to the ripening fruits. When al
early frost comes it hinders rather than
promotes the cOloring process. While
III way there seem to be some gen
eral rules governing the tinting of the
foliage, they al still rules which are
constantly violated. 1t may be said
that the foliage of certain trees never
takes on any bright color-for instance,
the bur oak, which merges from the
glossy green into a russell brown al
most without variation, while the
leaves of the jack oak and the red oak
will not infrequently give a splendid
display of red, maroon and red brown
tints. Some hard NAPLES, either because
of a family trait or because of some
special location, will run wholly to red,
while other naples near by will assume
entirely yellow tint. The elmS never
show any red, but are always yellow.
The black cherry will quite often show
up both reds and yellows, while the
Virginia creeper will give vivid con-
trast in red with it's neighbor, the
partridge berry, in yellow. The sumac
and poison ivy do much fall painting,
furnishing some of the finest specimens
of color to be found, while the yellow
of the larch or tamarack, when blend
ed with the dark green of the white
pines, quite often gives very pretty
effect. Perhaps the most striking Of
all this autumnal decoration may be
found in some hard maple left in a
timber pasture where, exposed to the
full rays of the sun, it slowly passes
from deep green to a gorgeous mass
of scarlet, pillar of fire on the rural
landscape. In a more modest way a
Virginia creeper will sometimes enlace
some dead tree. and dying red will give
an art picture that one will not soon
forget. One is to be pitied who cam
not sense all the glory and beauty the
October days bring with them.

the |. C. One is in charge of the
block station at Clark's on the Pa
ducah district and the other at Kevil
on the Cairo extension.
Mrs. II. A. Harmon, agent at
Clark's, is the wife of the second
trick dispatcher for the Paducah dis
trict of the road. She has been in

sidered one of the most reliable on

form. being also the regularly in
stalled agent, and has supervision

To read some of the Juvenile effu-
sions in local. papers about the city
light plant, one might be induced to
think that a slight breakdown night
before last was due solely to the
amount of money the present council
appropriated for the plant-or didn't
appropriate for the plant. Perhaps
the machinery took offense at the re-
peated sights and broke down. but
il is extremely doubtful. for IL ought
to be used to such treatment by this
time and able to stand it. The city
light plant, 10 be candid, was a sec
ond-hand affair when 1t was put in.
For several years there has heen a
persistent clamor for additional ma
chinery, but Ii was not bought, and
there is little more demand for It
now than there was last year or the
year before. hence the effort to
spread the idea that the plant is be-
ing neglected by the new legislative
boards is misleading and hypocriti-
cal. The plant broke down as it did
night before last, two or three times
before. and no new machinery was
bought, for it, then. and it is pre-
sumed the same thing can be done
now with as much safety and pro-
priety as it was then. We are as
sured, however, that every possible
attention will be given the light
plant.

THE ELECTION LAWS.

The legislature is not to be permit
ted to entirely smother the question
of fair election laws. says the Lexing-
ton Herald. The bill which-Ias the
Endorsement of the Louisville Bar
Association has been submitted and
its claims presented by representa-
tive lawyers and representative DEM
ocrats. Judge Gregory, whose 10y
atty to the Democratic party nobody
will question, who has always sup
ported the regular party ticket, has
declared that another election in
Louisville such as the one held last
November will mean bloodshed.
County Attorney Bingham, who has
up to the present time, at least. had
the favor of the regular Democratic
organization in Louisville, denounces
the certificate of registration as a de-
vice for fraud.
Senator HARRISON having agreed to
offer the Louisville bill in the senate
and X. w. Miller, of Madison county,
having consented to introduce it in
the house. the legislature must say
whether it will consider. or. entirely
ignore this question. 1t will be easy
enough to evade the question if it is
the intention of those who are in con-
troll to entirely ignore every demand
for an improvement in the election
laws. The Herald is not prepared to
give its unqualified Endorsement to
the amendments suggested BY the
Louisville lawyers. but we would re-
gard 1t as a serious mistake both of
policy and politics for the legislature
to fail to enact some legislation in
the interest of fair elections. t.t
Governor Beckham and the ma
jority in the legislature are in a posi-
tion of peculiar strength. Aside
from what service they can now rem
der the state they have the oppor-
tunity to fortify themselves in con-
troll of the party organization and
the government The opposition to
any changes in the election laws will |
be strongest from the party leaders
in Louisville. The governor has paid
all of his debts to the Louisville ma
chine. He has demonstrated his
ability to lead the party without
Louisville's support. The Louisville |
delegation was not essential to the |
administration plans for the organi-
zation Of the present legislature. The |
administration program from begin
ming to end won over the opposition |
of Louisville. If the governor and
his followers now make il possible |
for the people of Louisville to have
fair election and to control their own
government. he will make himself !
strong where he is now weakest, and |
he will eventually have the support
Of the Democratic organization in
the metropolis of the state.
