DUN'S REVIEW.

New York. July 27.-Dun's Re
view says;
Exchanges throughout the four
teen principal clearinghouse of the
country for the week showed de
cline OF Is per cent. as compared
with the corresponding week last
year but an increase of 1O.7 per cent
over 1905. The slight loss in COM
parison with last years figures was
wholly due to the decrease in deal
ings in securities at the New York
Stock Exchange, and the decline Of
4.5 per cent. as this city does not
represent the difference In security
trading as TO number of shares OF the
average decline OF $50 in price. In
the thirteen leading cities outside OF
New York exchanges aggregated
$500. 2G0,275. An increase of "a
per cent. over last years figures. and
a gain of 1873 per cent. over the cor
responding week In 1905. Small
losses were reported in comparison
with last years figures at Boston,
Philadelphia. New Orleans and San
Francisco. but there were substantial
gains in most western and southern
cities. led by an increase of 1S.6 per
cent. at Minneapolis and 1876 per
cent. at Cincinnati
There were also gains of almost
10 per cent. at Pittsburg. Cleveland
Chicago, Kansas City and Louisville
In comparison with the same week
two years ago, New Orleans was the
only city of fourteen of the largest
to show a decrease.

WE ACCEPT THE ISSUE.

Democrats are making a great ado
over the declaration The Sun fore
cast months ago, that the Republican
party will not bring tariff revision to
the front in the coming national cam
paign. Tariff revision is neither an
aspersion on the principles of the
protective tariff, nor an argument in
favor of free trade. II is only recog-
milton of the very foundation of the
protective theory. that the tariff is
not merely a revenue producer. but
should be adjusted according TO con-
ditions for the benefit of American
Industries. No thought of abolishing
the protective features Of the tariff
enters the American mind. What
need revision is question
for the calm consideration of states
men, not the heated argument Of an
exciting political campaign. The
American people, who for these many
years have rolled up enormous popu-
lar majorities for the protection or
American industries, are not going
to turn the work of revising the tar
in over to those, who proclaim a de-
sire to abolish 1t entirely. BY all
means, if the Democratic party
wishes to revive the tariff controver-
sy. let it be a straight issue of pro-
lection versus free trade, cheap la
Dor. smokeless factory chimneys and
free soup houses.

ONE MORE PIPE DREAM
FOR POOR NICOLA TESL I,

New York, July 27.- Nicola Tes-
la, the electrical expert. who hopes
to hold communication with the
dwellers in Mars, has settled the
debt of s1,10S on the big steel tower
that was to have been put under the
sheriff's hammer In Suffolk county.
l.. l., next Monday. After Tesla ac-
quired some 200 acres of land at
Wardencliffe. l.. l., he spent thous-
ands Of dollars in erecting the tower
and other buildings. The founda-
lions of the tower are said to extend
well-like to a depth Of nearly 800
feet. 1t is through electrical vlbra-
lions from this tower that Tesla be-
lieves he can send messages to Mars.

Hiding Crime.

The night riders in Trigg county
last Monday night visited the home
of S. p. Moseley and riddled the
house with shot and bullets. The
man and his wife were both wound
ed. No explanation for the affair
has been given. Doubtless he was
an opponent of the outlawry common
to that section. This is a common
occurrence in that section. Life or
property has no protection from
those who have seized the reins OF
justice. officials fear to interfere or
else are in sympathy. Crime is COW
cred with crime; the original pur-
pose of working to the tobacco grow
ers' interest has assumed the direful
condiction of keeping crime hid

HOT WEATHER SUGGESTIONS.

Every chance acquaintance, these
hot days, can tell you what to do tc

Nature says don't drink very
much ice water-use the tempered
water.
Don't eat heating dishes, warm
meats, and heavy vegetables, but
confine yourselves to light vegeta-
bles and fruits, and cold meats.
Nature, also says, and its lnjunc-
ton is in strong terms, to keep the
system in good condition, the liver,
bowels, stomach, kidneys and skin as
every one contributes to health or III

Osteopathy Is Natures treatment,
and the most rational for all disease,

hot weather. Those weak, tired out
and rundown conditions; dull head

NOT AN ANSWER, BUT a CON
FESSlON

FESSlON.
State Auditor Hager's method OF
meeting the pertinent questions ask
ed BY the Herald in its isue of We'd
lnesday is not an answer, but a con-
fession. This high official and nomi-
nee of the Democratic party for gov
lernor. whose duty il is to be convers-
ant with the details of all depart
ments under his supervision, pleads
that so far as his knowledge extends
Semonin's shortage amounts to only
ls15,773.50, the amount due on his
June collections, and this in the face
of the fact that a statement bearing
authoratiye imprimatur, and specific
ally itemized, shows the deficit to be
more than three times this sum, or
over $4,000.
Does Mr.. Hager wish the public TO
believe that more than $4,000 has
disappeared without his knowledge?
No other construction can be put up
on his statement. Faced with the
dilemma of pleading guilty to conniv-
ing at the irregularities in the office
Of the former Jefferson county clerk,
or admitting inexcusable ignorance
of what has been going on under his
supervision, he chooses the latter
horn From his own mouth he stands
convicted of utter unfitness for any
Office in the gift of the people.
Mr. Hager's attitude reminds us of
"a story told us about an Irish serv-
ant whose mistress, not wishing TO be
disturbed by visitors instructed him,
should any one ask for her. to make
an evasive reply. Soon after the par
ish priest came to the door and in
CURED for the lady. Pat, faithful to
his orders, made the astonishing an
swer rs your mother monkey"
The good priest was furious at what
the considered an unprovoked insult,
and left, vowing to have the man dis
charged. Meeting Pats mistress he
told her of the incident with much
Indignation. She in turn asked Pat
what he meant by treating the holy
father in that way, and the aggrieved
Pat retorted, Sure, nam. didn't yez
till me to make an evasive reply?"
The state auditors reply is evasive.
His plea Of ignorance fails to meet
the most vital points covered by the
Herald's queries. AS far back as Oc-
tober. 1905, rumor was busy with
stories Of shortages in Semonin's
books. Did the state auditor take
steps then to sift these rumors?
There is no evidence that he did, al
hough he is provided with expert
for the purpose of doing
lust such work.
On the contrary, with these rumors
till current Mr.. Hager manifests a
jeculiar friendship for Mr.. Semonin.
The Paducah evening sun. [volume] (Paducah, Ky.) 1906-1929, 1907-07-27

and exerts himself to secure his re-
appointment.
Why did the state auditor so Wig
Iorously urge the reappointment of
former County Clerk Semonin
Would the public ever have heard of
these shortages had his influence
been effective to secure It?
These are pertinent inquiries that
are in the minds and on the lips OF
all the people, and since Mr.. Hager
evidently cannot or will not answer
them, the voters will answer for
themselves when the opportunity ar.
rives in MISUNDERSTANDING Her
aid.
