en- county could swallow her chagrin
and prepare for a harder. struggle
next time, but the reasons advanced
by the majority of the committee will
stand good when some other west
Kentucky town in future years goes
after the state institute. For that rea-
son every COMFY in west Kentucky
should make common cause with Pa
ducah and show central Kentucky
that the fact that we are two hun
dred miles from Frankfort is no rea-
son why our claims to the benefits of
the institute should be ignored. For
tunately the executive committee
has no authority and the state board
of agriculture, to be appointed, will
choose the time and place. II Is be-
lieved that Commissioner Hubert
vreeland favors west sKentucky's
claim, and if this end of the state
takes up the fight before the board a
precedent will lie established. The
institute must meet at Frankfort ey-
cry other year, and the state spends
$4,000 on the nesting. 1t is up to
west Kentucky to assert itself.

Said Congressman Slayden, Of
Texas. in criticising the publication of
the Neill- reynolds report on the con-
dition of the Chicago packing houses:
whether the reform could have
been effected in different way,
shall not undertake to say although
the thought will intrude itself. that
had there been less beating of drums.
less fiaring of trumpets, less of yellow
journals method, the work of reform
might have been just as effectual and
the sacrifice Of honest wealth not so
appalling. am not speaking a word
of sympathy for the packers. What
ever offense there is, has come to
them and while they may lose mil
lions by the agitation they will have
millions left, most o. it sweated from
the brow of cattle producers who
finally have to pay the shot"
Congressman Slayden aud everyone
else at Washington knows that the
publication of the Neill-Reynol1s re-
port was forced by circumstances pro-
duced by emissaries OF the packers
themselves. Right In the very teeth
of this investigation when they knew
the report was in the hands of the
president, and, knowing the condi-
tons existing in Packingtown must
have known the substance Of the re-
port, the defenders OF The meat pack
ers undertook to kill the Beveridge
Inspection bill. A warning came from
the White House, but the packers. ev

Senator Tillman, that the president is
"clay and very common clay at that"

cluded that the president was

welfare of the cattle men in this af-

Tomorrow is flag day.
PRESIDENT TRAVELLING

We trust that the senate will not
hesitate a moment to put back into
the civil appropriation bill the item Of
$4,000 which the house struck out
on Saturday.
The action Of the house does not ap-
pear to have been at all partisan,
though the motion was made by Mr..
Williams, the Democratic leader, and
most of the talking was done by his
followers. SO far as it was inspired b.
a desire for economy, We think the
action OF the house was foolish in the
extreme. That sort of economy should
begin at home. Twenty-Five thousand
dollars year for the purpose Of per-
hitting the president TO travel through
the country in a decent and dignified
fashion Is not an extrayagant expendi-
ture compared with the, sums paid for
the travelling expenses of congressman,
for the free carriage of what they
choose to send in the mails, and for
the assorted Injuries in which they
indulge under the liberal oversight Of
the sergeant at arms.
So far as the action Is inspired by
the desire to seem to the common
people" to be sustaining a standard Of
"Jeffersonian simplicity" in dealing
with the presidents personal expenses,
we confess that we can only feel a
mild contempt for It. The standard
of living In all classes of society has
changed a good deal since Jefferson.
but as measured by the standard of
his own time, Mr.. Roosevelt Is I'M
questlonably quite as simple and un-
a gentleman as was Mr..
jefferson in his. The American peo-
pie are not really niggardly in their
feeling toward their public servants,
and congressman make a mistake in
that they are. An appro-
priation OF one-fifth of a cent a year
for every voter TO cover the presidents
