VOICE OF THE PEOPLE.

We hear the complaint that there
are more vacant houses in Paducah
than ever before and that there are
no manufacturing industries coming
here. Others are complaining that
the taxes are burdensome. Too much
public Improvement going on, all of
which will be ruinous TO the prop
erty owners with small means.
Some of our citizens are taking al
together pessimistic view of the
situation. "Who are these croak-
ers?" Trace them down and we find
that it is not the small property own
er but the one who owns numerous
small, so-called "gunbarrel" houses.
1t is not a good year for building
unless from two 10 three hundred of
such houses are built here each year
A few of them have been painted or
smeared on the outside with coal tar
as a cheap preservative that they may
bring their owners 20 per cent on
the investment for a long time, be-
fore they require more dope" The
occupants step out of these houses
into the mud until they burn ashes
enough to place in front of the door.
These shacks are built fronting
dirty alleys as well as the street, the
owners don't wish to pay for side
walks and sewers. because they need
the money to build more sbacks. A
great many of these shanties are
built over hollows on stills, 10 to ~
feet in the air, and are approachnble
by ladders in the rear and by elevat-
ed board walks in the front. Ask
some of the builders of these air cast
les to subscribe to pubic enterprise
and you will not get pleasant look.
but they will furnish the shacks for
the new factory employers.
Owners will soon find that they
must improve by building sidewalks
and other necessary improvements or
such houses viii stand empty as they
should.

II has only been four or five years
since Paducah has been building more
artistic and substantial residences
and the cheap tenement house must
give way for a better one in the parts
of the city where it is necessary to
make improvement Some of the
best residence portions Of Paducal
have been ruined and real estate de-
preciated by this class of buildings
and they do not seem to realize that
building OF that class Us largely over
done. Unfortunately strangers com
ing into the city from Union station
by street car never see the best resi-
dence portion. What is the impress
sion of the stranger leaving the sta
ton over a narrow, crooked street

car window to the present filthy

Marcn Is conceded by local ply

year in Paducah, In the point OF the

next affect the physical condition
probably more than any season of the
year.

White.
Jerome summoned to the stand DR..
Carlton Flint, the physician, to
whom Evelyn Nesbit is said to have
gone with Jack" Barrymore. an ac-
tor. Delmas objected and Flint was
not allowed to testify. 1t is said that
Flint had been subpoenaed by the
defense, and that he would be called
lin sub-rebuttal to answer questions
ne was not permitted to answer to-
day.
The district attorney called Ru-
dolph Eckmyer, a photographer who
took a picture of Evelyn Nesbit
Thaw, which has been introduced in
|evidence. The photographer was en-
ployed by White to make a photo
graphic copy of an affidavit Evelyn
Nesbit is said to have made in Abra-
ham HummePs Office.
Eckmyer identified the negatives
made from the affidavits but they
were not offered in evidence.
Jerome next tried to get the pnoto-
grapher to fix the dates of certain pic
lures for which Evelyn Nesbit posed
hoping thus to establish the day the
Nesbit girl says she had her expert
ence with White in mis- Twenty-fourth
street house. Answering Delmas' OBJ
lection, Jerome declared that il he
was allowed to fix the date of these
night following the day they were

Jerome fairly shouted the last
words and pounded on the table be-
fore him. Delmas said he must stand
upon his objection and II was sus-

trict attorneys improper remarks
for which he had given much empna-
sis of voice and gesture" be stricken
from the records.

End Is In Sight.

The end of the Thaw trial at last
seems to be in sight. Tentative plans
for the final stages or the trial were
agreed upon today by the opposing
counsel, even to the details of allot-
ting time for summing up.
Jerome has at last burned behind
him all bridges leading to lunacy
commission and has irrevocably
pointed mis- course to proving that
Thaw was sane when he shot ami
killed White and that being sane his
crime constituted murder in the first
degree.
Within ten days or two weeks the
case should be in the jury's hands
Jerome played today probably the
strongest card he hols-evidence
which came to his knowledge but a
few days ago, and which undoubtedly
caused him to abandon the idea of
sending Whites slayer to a mad
house and to try for a straight out
and out conviction under the crimi-
nal statutes.
The evidence came from Mrs.
Stanford Whites brother, James
Clinch Smith. who told a remarkable
clear, suecinct story of the events on
Madison Square roof garden, the
night White was killed, and of a long
conversation he had with Thaw Just
prior to the shooting.
II seems that Thaw sat for some
time with Smith during the fateful
first performance or "Mam'selle
Champagne" and discussed with him
various topics in a manner, Smith de-
clared, such as any sane man would
talk. Smith gave the conversation in
detail, emitting nothing, he asserted.
With the brother-in-law of the man
who was so soon to be victim of his
pistol, Thaw discussed the play, Wall
street, common acquaintances, plans
for the summer and many other
things including a "buxom brunette"
whom Thaw declared he was anxious
to have Smith meet. Thaw said he
and his wife we're going abroad later
in the summer.
There was no hint anywhere in the
repeated conversation, of Thaw's in
tent to inflict bodily hiram upon any
one. Smith did say, however. that

The ANTIQUITY
OF AGRICULTURE.
Probably Originated in South
And East of En-
rope.

"The origin of agriculture" says
Prof. Wiegend of the University of
Bonn, sis lost in the mists of antiqui-
ty. We know that in neolithic times
in Europe eight kinds of cereals were
cultivated, besides flax, peas, peoples,
apples, pears, plums, etc. At the same
time, various animals were domesti-
Gated. Among these were horses, short
horned oxen, horned sheep, goats,two
breeds of pigs, dogs.
"In all likelihood agriculture arose
in the south and east of Europe, and
spread gradually in the center, north
and west. A hunting population is
often very averse to even the slightest
amount of work that agriculture re-
quires in a tropical country. The sam
holds good, as a rule, for pastoral
communities. In all cases a powerful
constraint is necessary to force these
people into uncongenial employment.
Fate is stronger than will, and at va
rious periods in different climes hun
tiers and herders have been forced TO
till the soil.
"The desert" Prof. Wigehend says
in another part of his paper, "notwith-
standing all difficulties of commune
cation, offered more facilities than
the sea to early man; it had, in fact,
three manifest advantages over the
Mediterranean: Cd The desert pene-
trates further into the interior of the
country. II is several times larger
than the Mediterranean, and can there
fore, tap more countries; it reaches to
precisely those countries that the Med
iteranean does not touch. 90 The
desert does not oblige the pastor to
seriously modify his mode of life. In
in order to traverse the desert it is
necessary to arrange the journey in
stages; but these stages, once created,
the pastor can live in his own way.
90 A numerous troop can cross the
desert. They travel in caravans for
greater safety and defense against pos
sible attacks.
"Such are the reasons which caus-
ed early man to travel over the des-
ert before voyaging over and utiliz-
ing the sea-"
