NEGRO TROOPERS
Are Enlisted by Lieut.. w. l.. Reed at
This Station.

Following the exclusive announce
ment in THE SUN that negro troops
would be enlisted at the local army
recruiting station, Sergeant Blake has
received three applications from ne
groes and one probably will be ac-
cepted later. The order giving per-
mission to recruiting officers to enlist
for the Philippine service has been
followed by Sergeant Blake and three
men will leave tomorrow evening for
that service. Lieut.. w. L. Reed ac-
cepted seven men enlisted by Ser
geant Blake this morning. One, New
II Hobson, Cerulean Springs, KY.
will go to the hospital corps at Wash
ington, D. C. Three, Herman Mar
tin, Dycusburg; Samuel Jones, Hick-
DRY Grove; ]. T. Watson, lilo Ten
nessee street, Paducah, will go to the
coast artillery. The last three, Syl-
vester Lawrence, Karbes Ridge, H.;
Benjamin Stone, Kuttawa, and j. D,
Brady, with three years previous serv
ice, of Mound City, ILL.,, will go to the
Philippines.

BACHELORS
WILL BE TAXED To SUPPORT
STATE OF ILLINOIS.
"Act 10 Encourage Matrimony" In
trOduced i'm Legislature at
Springfield.

Springfield, H., Jan. 25.-Bache-
lors whom bashfulness has kept them
single are to be driven to the mar
riage altar, while those who are un-
annexed through choice are to pay
for sidestepping hymeneal joys-if
Representative Anton j. Cermak, of
Chicago, has his way. Under the
caption, "An Act to Encourage Mat
rimony," Mr.. Cermak-who, by the
way, halls from the west side, where
a family does not come up to grade
unless it contains at least half a doz-
en- children--has condensed into leg
islative language his ideas on single
blessedness.
A fine of IS a year is about the
right penalty, he thinks, but as the
bill he intends to present to the gem
eral assembly is still unprotected, the
amount may be raised to the point
where it may be cheaper to many
than to pay taxes.
The Cermak anti-celibacy bill in
its rough draft specifies that in maxi
ing the annual rounds the assessors
shall jot down the names of every
man unattached. The names are to
be listed in a poll book and against
each is to be extended tax of So.
If the celibate can prove, however,
that he is not only unable to main
tain a wife if he were married, but is
also unable to support himself and
pay the tax, the fine is to be RENTED.

Martha Heisen, 1926 Calumet ave-
nue., was promptly arrested by the
ever watchful police. The negroes
were allowed to escape. The story
came to light yesterday, when Mrs.
Heisen was zaled into Municipal
Judge Newcomers court at the Har-
rison street police station. Within a
few minutes after the pale and trem-
bling prisoner was arraigned Judge
Newcomer. had sent for Inspector
Wheeler and had ordered the south
town searched for the negroes guilty
of the attack. The story of Mrs Hell
sen, who claims she is the divorced
wife of Ernest f. Heisen, one time
agent of the Manhattan Office build-
ing. created a sensation in the court
room. Angry protests came from spec
tators who listened to the recital, and
on every hand there was whispered
denunciation Of the police.

SUNFLOWER PHILOSOPHY.

A thin man always likes to get

No man goes to a banquet for the

breakfast is an awful jolt to all the

A woman is certainly good look
ing if she shows up looking well at
the breakfast table.
Some people are always either feel
ing pretty bad" or "just little
better"
The most sincere person in the
world does not mean It when he says:
81 don't care"
While a man is still very young he
finds that the people regard him as
old enough to find all his happiness
in giving happiness to others.
Somehow 1t is hard to realize that
the tired and worn out father was
once so young and so audacious that
he dared to hope for happiness for
himself-Atchlson Globte.

SOMETHING TO
THINK ABOUT

Almost everybody knows that IL
cense should be paid in january; yet
some people seem to forget it. This
is intended as friendly reminder
FOR YOUR GOOD.
Ten per cent must be added to all
license after February 1st. Naturally
this is not a pleasant obligation to
settle. 1t is also an unpleasant duty
for the treasurer to collect 1t. There
fore endeavor to avoid 1t by your
prompt attention.
Every business, occupation, agency
and profession is liable for license.
Kindly call at the city treasurer's
Office at your earliest convenience
that you may save this penalty, and
greatly oblige,
Yours respectfully,

COUNTY ROADS.

The idea proposed by the McCracl
en- county fiscal court to issue bond
for the permanent improvement {
the county roads is setting the new
papers of other counties to talking
and without exception they fave
such a plan.
The Livingston Banner says:
McCraeken county is going to
spend $15O,0OO in improving
her roads. The result will be
that she will make it all back,
too. within two years after the
work is completed. Good roads
have never yet failed TO pay Inn
mense dividends 10 every man,
rich and poor, in the various
communities where they are
found.
The Livingston Echo chimes I
the chorus in the same issue with:
The people of McCracken
county are discussing a plan for
lettering their public roads. The
plan most generally suggested is
to have them graveled. McCrac-
ken county now boasts of having
the best roads in the western
part of the state, yet IS not salts
fed. 1t is argued that gravel
roads are cheapest, being more
easily kept up, and are always
far better. Next week the farm
ers' club meets here at Smith
land, and the principal subject
for discussion is roads. There
are other subjects for discus
sion, but nearly every farmer be-
lieves he knows as much about
them as any other farmer, but
all are ready to listen to the
road discussion. Our roads are
In a deplorable condition, made
so by so much rain during the
fall and winter, and also by our
system of working or not work.
ing them. There is surely bet
ter way to treat our roads.
If Livingston county does not hav,
good roads evidently it is not tn,
fault of the papers; but we woult
mat they would always employ tn,
adjective permanent" to define tn,
noun improvement. We believe there
Is potency in that word and then 4
adds certainty to the meaning of tn,

INCREASE IN PAY
In POSTOFFICES
Will Affect Number of Local
Employees
Twelve Carriers, Nine Clerks and Ten
Railway Postal Clerks viii BE
Benefited.
BILL WILL BE INTRODUCED.

Twelve local mail carriers, nine
local postofice clerks and ten mail
clerks running on trains into Padu-
cab will be affected by an increase in
salary when the appropriation bill is
passed at Washington. 1t will mean
that thousands of dollars increase in
salaries will be made here. The fol-
lowing Washington dispatch ex-
plains:
Postoffice clerks will be literally
dealt with in the new appropriation
bill, which will be reported from the
lpostoffice committee within a few
days. Clerks in first-class postoffices
in towns of from $4,000 to $4,000
population will be advanced accord
ing to classification, from 5000 to
81, 200 each. Railway mail clerks.
who have had to bear not only the
burden of the additional cost of liv-
ing, but risk of accident, will receive
500 more in each grade after
year 5 service.
Carriers are also literally provided
for. Those in cities with a popula-
ton between rs, 900 and rs 1000, from
5000 to $1,000. The increase will
entail an annual expenditure on the
part OF the government Of $4,000
900. 1t is also believed that before
the bin is reported it will carry an
increase for rural free delivery car
riers.
Fred B. Ashton, superintendent of
carriers o fthe local postof1ice de-
partment, explained:

THE COURAGEOUS COURSE.

There is only one deduction from
last nights performance; The Re.
publican members Of the board of al
dermen are a lot of "short skates. -
They are not game" They are a
quartette of fogies. They will neith-
er go "nalvers" with the Democrats,
so that the augmented police force
may be paid; nor will they gamble
for the honors. One of the Democrats
had a dollar in mis- pocket and his
sporting blood prompted him to sug.
gest tossing the coin for the presi-
deney. Maybe, the Republicans didn't
have a dollar to toss. IT may have
been to save themselves the humilla-
tion of such an acknowledgement
that they sat stoically resigned to
the criticism they must have known
all good citizens would indulge in,
if they declined to accept the gamb-
ling wager. The Democrats should
come next time prepared with a deck
of cards or a box of dice, and roll
'horses" for the presidency. We be-
lieve, that is the way the pirates of
the Barbary coast used to select
their leaders. Alderman Hannah, ly-
ing at home i'll in bed, must have
been gratified at the manner in which
his colleagues stood by him, when
they couldn't induce the Republicans
to choose a Democrat to serve for
six months, or take a cnance on
"Heads, win; tails, you lose" But,
isn't it odd that the Democratic al
dermen, who evinced this eleventh
hour" disposition to compromise,
didn't think of a quicker way out of
the deadloek-yoting for Alderman
Palmer for president? They might as
well. Their proposition to divide the
honor or to gamble It away, pre-
cludes them from further claim to
any principle involved. We believe it
was the wise King of Solomon, who
offered to divide the baby between
the disputing claimants, and then
refused the suit of the woman, who
agreed to the division. In this in
stance, the Republicans being the
old members, claim the privilege of
precedence. Their claim is strength
ened by the fact that Alderman-elect
Little was persuaded to resign and
Alderman Smith was Immediately APP
pointed by Mayor Yeiser in order to
hold the Democratic vote solid. In
formation of Titles resignation was
withheld and mis- successor was Sc
eretly appointed and sprung on the
board as a surprise before It was
organized. This was politics, to be
sure. and we have no criticism to
make from that standpoint But It
comes with III grace from those, who
thus produced the deadlock to beg
for an equal division or take
gamblers" chance at the prize, when
they are cornered. Had the admins
tration. which absolutely dominates
the Democratic side Of the board, not
felt 'up against IT," no such puerile
scheme as tossing a coin would have
been suggested through Alderman
Stewart. Il only expressed the weak
ness OF the administration position.
