ALL MAKE EXCUSE
FOR COMING HERE
Mayfeld Men Call Reporter
Aside at Depot
Thirsty Graves County Citizens HE
to McCracken Capital to En-
joy Dry Sunday.
WRONG TO DECEIVE EDITOR

Sunday is great DAY for travel
from Mayfield. There is never a Sun
day that there are less than from so
to 100 people go away from May
field-mostly to Paducah, says the
Mayfield Messenger.
The fact that people can travel on
the railroad at one fare for the
round trip causes such a vast amount
of travel on Sundays.
1t is rather amusing to be about
the depot Sundays and watch the
the various kinds of schemes and
maneuverings resorted to by various
men in order to get away without
their trip being known to their fam
lilies or sweethearts. OF course none
of them ever intends to go when they
leave their homes, but when they
get over to the depot, and meet their
chum or chums, and often they step
aside and have a few private words,
the plan is arranged and tickets are
bought, either by themselves or some
one else, and when the train pulls
in they pull on as easily and private
ly as possible.
Last Sunday was an average day
of travel. The editor OF the Messen-
gen was approached by one man who
said, "Please don't have my name in
the paper, for l left nome to attend
church. telling my wife and family
that after church l had to see a
friend on business and might not get
back home until late in the after
noon"
Another said he mad mot shaved
or taken bath for several days, was
playing the business racket on his
wife and would not let her know how
he had deceived her for a ten dollar
bill"
Several young men would like to
have their names left out, because
they all had engagements with their
best Mayfield girls and did not want
them to know they had broken their
engagements to go to Paducah.
Several boys would call the repor-
ter to one side and tell him they had
the permission of their parents to go

REAL GOVERNOR
Is DENEEN TODAY
Has Fulfilled Pact Made With
Richard Yates
Election of Shelby Cullom to United
States Senate Frees Executive
of Illinois.
WILL APPOINT HIS OWN MEN

Springfield, ILL.,, Jan. 22.-Charles
s. Deneen is governor of Illinois in
fact as well as title. BY the re-elec-
ton of Shelby M. Cullom as United
States senator by the vote of both
houses of the legislature, the pact
entered into with Richard Yates and
by which the Chicagoan was nomi-
mated for governor at the end Of II
days of balloting in the Springfield
Republican state convention of 1904,
expired, and the executive is free to
replace the Yates oficeholders with
his own appointees.
Information last night was that
the governor will take almost imme-
date advantage OF mis- independence
and will fill several important places
with his personal friends, both from
Chicago and down the state, within
week, and perhaps before next SUN
day.
A close friend of the governor said
today that the executive had chafed
for months under the restraint of his
agreement with Yates, to whom was
given the promise in return for the
delegates votes necessary to nomi-
nate, that Yates men should be re-
tanned in Office until the United
States senatorship had been settled.
New Railroad Commission.
One of the Yates men who doubt
less will go is A. L. French, the rail-
road and warehouse commissioner.
James Pease. OF Chicago, it is said,
can have the place if he will not
support Fred A. Busse for the may
orally nomination. A successor to
Isaac Elwood, whose resignation has
long been in hand, also doubtless
will be named. Mr. Bays succeeded
James Neville, who recently died, so
that the entire board of three will be
changed.

Ireland Warns Against Demagogy In

ton on the part of listening audiences.
The greatest responsibility rests on
all to move slowly, to think wisely,
to avoid all perils of leaps into the
dark"
Archbishop Ireland's genial optim-
ism adds weight to his words; not
only does he caution the ambitious
against unwise attacks on the more
fortunate, but he takes occasion also
to caution the wealthy, urging that
they be just and not deprive any one
of his right to the principles which

In the very profuseness of the pros

that is most threatening. AS the pre-

late is outspoken. He says: Z
"A chief panacea before us is COM

productivity and of the transportation,

that she had left the city. Judge
Reed remains contented that she nas,

Washington, Jan. 22.--Much is be-
ing made here of the recent inter
view with Archbishop Ireland in which
he warns against social unrest and
the public ownership idea. Coming
almost simultaneously with the Pre-
sident's message to Congress and the
strong speech of Secretary Root in
New York, in both of which warn
ings against demagogic appeal to
the American people, and as result
has pleased the administration.
The churchman, in discussing the gen
eral clamor against all forms OF
wealth. whether individual or collec-
tive, said:
THAT in the holding of private pro-
perty there be inequality is fact
that is inevitable. Men ara not and
will never be equal in the power
that builds up prosperity, in the sac
rlfice of self and the economy that
preserve and increase it; hence they
never will be equal in the amount of
property that they do or can possess.
The preaching of utopiaas in remedy
Of this inequality and proposal of
schemes that ignore the nature of men

injury to the individual whom they

Opinion of the Court by Judge Hobson
Court of Appdls of Kentucky, Jan.
II. 1907.
Mary A. LoEg's executor. appel
liant, VS.. appel from McCracken
Circuit court. track owen, appellee.
Opinion of tie court by Judge
Hobson.
Mary A. LOig died a resident of
Logan county II the year 1897. She
owned considerable real estate in
Paducah and forsome, time before her
death Brack Oven of Paducah had
been her agent there. After the quail
ification Of ner executor owen was
requested by the executor to act as
agent for the ehate in Paducah but
declined to do S ! The executor then
said that if he knew of any purchaser
for the vacant Dts to let him know.
Owen agreed to do this and also
agreed 10 attend to certain other
matters for the executor. Not long
after that Owen wrote the executor
from Paducah stating that he could
sell two of the OTIS to Joseph l..
Friedman for $3.50 and that he
thought it was a good price for them.
The executor ACTED upon his advice
and sent owen deed to be delivered
to Friedman, which Friedman accept
ed. About four years later this suit
was brought by the executor against
owen to recovet damages in the sum
of $1,000. The sum of the suit is
that the plaintiff claims that the ex-
ecutor did not know the value of the
lots; that Owen did; that the pur-
chase of Friedha was merely col
orable; that Owen was the real pur-
chaser, and that the lots were at that
time worth $1,000. The circr't
court dismissed the petition and the
executor appeals.
/ If owen was the zeal purchaser of
the property and deceived the execu-
70 ras to its value, by this means max
ing a profit out of the estate for HIM
self, he should be held liable. But
the proof by him and Friedman is to
the effect that he had sold the prop
erty to Friedman and his partner
verbally before the death of Mrs.
Long for $3.50 and that Friedman
simply agreed to carry out this con-
tract after Mrs Longs death; that he
in fact bought the property and owen
had nothing to do with IT.; that he
subsequently conveyed 1t to Owen
but that this was a matter that came
up afterwards and was not part of
the original transaction. Owen after
wards concluding that he would Ike
to buy II from Friedman. The proof
also tends strongly to show that $3.50
was a fair price at the time for the
property and that Owen did nothing
in the transaction OF sale that was
reprehensible. 1t is true the proper
ty afterwards advanced in value and
that he sold part of 1t at a profit of
several hundred dollars but this rise
in price came some time later and
was one of the chances Of the future.
Judgment affirmed.
