bitterly IN lts Sunday edition be-

closed the saloons, gambling

are about what the voters of the
city want and these ordinances are
ms well enforced n the people de.

Denver has charter which
gives the city local self govern

GOOD ROADS STATISTICS.

According to Golfers figures, be-
tween the beginning of 1896 and the
close of 1906, New York spent out of
her state treasury the sum Of $780,
600, 900 in the important work OF
making roads good where roads had
been bad, and during the same period
the counties of the state expended the
same amount, making New York the
leader in the work with a ten year
expenditure Of $100IDO0.O0O or &c.,
600, 900 per annum. Certainly that
Is a very large amount to spend in
one year on the making of good
roads-but the beauty Of It is that
New York is proceeding in the work
with increasing expenditures for good
roads, and the farmers of the state
are exceedingly joyful over the fact
because of the enormous saving they
make in hauling their products to
market, or to the railway station or
to the wharfboats
1t Is not hard to see why they re-
joice. The saving a farmer would
make because of good roads would
immeasurably exceed the amount OF
taxes paid for the making of roads
as they ought to be made. Moreover
the work is being done so carefully
especially with reference to the found
alton, that the prospect of increased
taxation for good roads grows smaller
with each year.
Pennsylvania is not to be consider
ed as out of the running in the race
for good noads Notwithstanding she
is not up to the rank Of New York.
Within the past six years she has
expended from her state treasury the
sum of $4,000 900. individual cities
and districts have expended in addi-
ton the sum of $1y5OO 1000, making
a six-year total of 81, 500 900, a most
creditable showing. In Pennsylvania,
as in New York, the road tax Is paid
with cheerfulness for the farmer
knows that good roads. save him
largely from expenses, and the mer-
chant knows that good roads bring
the farmer to his counters and his
bargains.
In all. there are nineteen out OF
the forty-five states giving state aid
to roads with their political subdi-
visions adding largely to the work
from their municipal and county
reasuries.-Fulton Leader.

SANITARY SLAUGHTER HOUSES,

From the viewpoint of the butch
ers in the city, the attitude of the
two boards of health, city and coun-
ty, that they cannot operate slaugh-
ter houses either in the city or coun-
ty. places them in predicament
which has no choice for them. The
only way out of it, if the two boards
maintain their positions, seems
through a central abattoir Discuss
ing the question this morning from
the butchers viewpoint Mr.. Charles
Smith, said:
"As far as I am concerned, and
think l voice tne sentiments of the
other butchers, l would suggest that
rigid rules for the sanitary conduct
of slaughter houses be approved by
the board of health and sufficiently
neavy fines be imposed as penalty
to insure the practical application of
the rules. Their objection to the
slaughter houses in the city, is that
they are a nuisance. Large packing
houses are situated in the heart of
big cities and it ought to be possible
to regulate them in Paducah so that
they would not be Objectionable.
Take my position for instance. If
am ordered to move my slaughter
house into the country two miles or
more, it will necessitate my moving
to the country also, because l must
be near 1t. Connected with me are
three families, which would have to
move out also, and that would throw
three of my houses vacant. The same
thing would be necessary for many
other butchers in the city.
1--WE have no quarrel with the
members of the board of health. They
doubtless are doing their duty as
they see it. The only thing is, we
think we have interests which it
seems are being needlessly sacrifice
ed. want to conduct my business in
sanitary way and am willing to
abide bv the rules they lay down"

PINAFoRE UP-To-DATE.

The conundrum of the hour is
Swettenham. Everybody is wonder
ing what made him do it, and no.
body can find out. London is as
much in the dark about the matter
as Washington. You may say that
it takes an Englishman to read an
Englisnman, but Mayfair and White
chapel are alike at sea as to Swetten-
ham. He has all of them side-step-
ping.
In cropping around for reasons why
Swettenham has seized the occasion
of a sober international episode to
exploit himself as a Dogberry, it is
surmised that mis- conduct was in
spired by resentment of President
.Roosevelt's attitude toward Jamaican
negroes in Panama. Others explain
the incident by the presidents refusal
to accept British aid for San Francis
co. Again, there is the notion that
something devolves on a man with a
name like Swettennam.
But none of these theories takes
the affair out Of the realm of pure
Until science evolves
some plan by which experts can take
a look at the inside of the heads Of
persons like Swettenham their acts
must remain a dense mystery.

clever librettist should not seize the

woMAN's RIGHTS.

Pending in the Illinois legislature,
is a measure, extending the franchise
to women, except in elections of
judges. Indiana's female suffrage
bill comprehends all town and city
elections. Ohio permits women TO
vote for school trustees. Why wom-
en- should be allowed to vote at all,
and then be restricted in the right Of
suffrage, is beyond the ken Of logical
intellect. The Illinois law idea is al
most insulting, as though under pres
sure the men would permit the wom-
en- to vote, but to preserve the purity
of the judiciary, except it from the
wholesale surrender. In Ohio it
would appear that the very opposite
is the intention, and the hope Of bet
tering the school situation prompted
the legislature to invite feminine par
ticipation in the selection of the trus-
tees. Indiana solons, no doubt.
think woman's sphere has sufficiently

institutions to awaken am interest in
local affairs, particularly if she is a
taxpayer.
In the great west where, racial,
creed, political, sexual and social dis
tinctions are minimized in the wide
latitude of thought and action, wom-
en- vote lust like men," but in the
older communities men are extending
the right of suffrage, hesitatingly, not
grudgingly. watching the effect with
apprehension. There is not a rea-
sonable man, who believes that wom-
en- are not rs intelligent as men and
just as capable of the right use of
the ballot (Heavens help them If they
were notl) But man has placed wom-
an on pedestal. He would keep
her above sordfd things, and the cleo
ton is of that kind.
We see no reason, as a matter Of
right. why woman should not vote.
She owns property, she claims the
protection of the flag, she has sons
and daughters, and is interested in
the moral and political welfare of the
nation.
Enthusiasts insist that women will
purify the ballot and add an over
whe,ming reinforcement to the cause
Of righteousness. But in the breast
of the average man there is balanced
the question, "Will women uplift poll
itics, or will politics lower women?"
Good men go to the polls on esec-
ton day and brush elbows with the
rascal and the bride tal1er. Give wo-
men the ballot, and viii the good wo-
men go to the polls and brush elbows
with the bad women? Oh, the latter
will be there, Just as the bad men are
always there The bad women would

counterbalance the effect OF their
votes and influence. the better women
would have to attend the polls and
vote. The bad women would work.
Would the good women find time
from their household duties to mix
actively in politics?
What would be the effect on our
women? It's a serious question. and
