Thirty millions 30,000,000 =
write it anyway we please, the array
of figures, the printed words, convey
no conception of their magnitude to
us. This is the extent of the famine
in China. Five thousand dying in a
day of starvation. Surprising that in
less than a week all the people of
Paducah should die of starvation.
Now, we can grasp something Of the
horror of the situation. Surprising we
went days without anything to cat
and there was nothing left. We mad
dug up the new planted grain AMI
eaten that, so that no crop could be
expected. Surprising we had eaten all
the roots and all the bark off the
trees, mad sucked the nourishment
out of our shoes and clothing, and
consumed every living animal, ex
cept-except ourselves, and then be-
gun eating the weakest ones
first. That is what they
are doing in China, and
the system of graft. through which
government relief funds must perco-
late to the affected districts, renders
such aid unavailable. Only through
outside committees can relief reach
the famine sufferers. Everybody
should contribute to the relief of
these starving, helpless, heather. We
never before-no nation ever before
enjoyed such prosperity as is ours.
China is starving. and we have more
than our share.

1t has been hard pull for the i'm
migration commission and results SO
far are small, but the advent of a
few German farmers means the be-
ginning of the settlement of Nc
Cracker county. The men who have
worked for development Of the truck
gardening industry feel now that
they are accomplishing something.
There are some kinds of public SER
vice, in which there is little glory,
but the satisfaction of achievement.

The Chicago Chronicle presents a
leader on the subject of the fresh
air fiend !" in which it presumes that
the fresh air fiend" opens windows
and doors, thus prematurely welcom-
ing spring and the damp, foggy at
mosphere. The Chronicle contends
that fresh air is not necessarily
damp, chilly air The Chicago Chron-
icle apparently is an Indifferent OBJ
server. The real, simon pure fresh
air fiend" does not await the advent
of spring to open windows. He keeps
open windows the winter long. And
the Chicago Chronicle is an indiffer-
ent reasoner, because with unctious
satisfaction it remarks that fresh
air, is not necessarily damp, chilly
air." and settles back in anemic
comfort among its blankets before its
oxygen absorbing CRATE, oblivious to
the fact that the only fresh air there
is in the world is outside the build

THE BEST TICKET.

Sanity and conservatism are ex-
pected of the Republicans of Padu-
cab this year. Democrats are not Sat
isfed with their municipal material.
but the old line workers are striving
to get out as big asvote as possible
at the primary, hoping thus to keep
the voters in the party. with the
time worn argument, you partici-
pated in the primary; you must abide
by its decision" Every man who
votes at the Democratic primary will
be confronted with this argument 20
times by the press and politicians be-
fore the fall election. There is one
way the good citizens may avoid the
accusation of irregularity-by re-
naming away from the primary. II
is evident from the waiting attitude
OF the Republicans. that they are
cognlzant Of the real situation. and
intend to take fuI advantage of Dem
ocratic mistakes. There is a tendency
to invoice before putting the goods
in the window this spring. The Re-
publican display will be designed TO
meet the appreciation OF the voters
