Schnapps Tobacco is Made ENTIRELY from Flue Cured
Tobacco Grown in the Piedmont Country.
The Imitation Brands Have Schnapps
Quality Only On the Outside
Of the Plug

Hundreds of imitation brands are
on sale that look like Schnapps to-
bacco. The outside of the imitation
plugs Of tobacco is flue cured the same
as Schnapps, but the inside is filed
with cheap. flimsy. heavily sweetened
air cured tobacco. One chew of
Schnapps will satisfy tobacco hunger
longer than two chews of such to-
bacco. The color, size and shape
of the tags, plugs and packages of
certain imitation brands of tobacco
have been made so much like
Schnapps that they have often been
accepted by buyers under the belief
that they were getting Schnapps.
Sufficient proof has been secured
to establish the fact that certain
brands are infringements and in vio-
lation of the trade mark laws, yet the
trade will continue to be imposed
upon by these infringers until the suit
already entered and now pending to
protect Schnapps is decided. A

BUTCHERS SIDE
OF CONTROVERSY
Are Willing to Abide by Any
Reasonable Rules
They Feel Injustice Will Be Done If
They Are Compelled TO Move
Outside.
SANITARY SLAUGHTER HOUSES.

From the viewpoint of the butch
ers in the city, the attitude of the
two boards of health, city and coun-
ty, that they cannot operate slaugh-
ter houses either in the city or coun-
ty. places them in predicament
which has no choice for them. The
only way out of it, If the two boards
maintain their positions. seems
through a central abattoir. Discuss
ing the question this morning from
the butchers viewpoint Mr.. Charles
Smith, said:
las far as I am concerned, and I
think I voice the sentiments of the
other butchers, l would suggest that
rigid rules for the sanitary conduct
of slaughter houses be approved by
the board of health and sufficiently
neavy fines be imposed as a penalty
to insure the practical application of
the rules. Their objection to the
slaughter houses in the city, is that
they are nuisance. Large packing
houses are situated in the heart of
big cities and it ought to be possible
to regulate them in Paducah so that
they would not be Objectionable.
Take my position for instance. If
am ordered to move my slaughter
house into the country two miles or
more, it will necessitate my moving
to the country also, because l must
be near it. Connected with me are
three families, which would have to
move out also, and that would throw
three OF my houses vacant. The same
thing would be necessary for many
other butchers in the city.
1--WE have no quarrel with the
members of the board of health. They
doubtless are doing their duty as
they see 1t. The only thing is, we
think we have interests which it
seems are being needlessly sacrific-
ed. I want to conduct my business in |
a sanitary way and am willing to |
abide bv the rules they lay down"

PINAFoRE UP-To-pATE.

The conundrum of the hour is
ISwettenham. Everybody is wonder
ing what made him do it, and no.
body can find out. London is as
much in the dark about the matter
as Washington. You may say that
it takes an Englishman to read an
Englisnman, but Mayfair and White
chapel are alike at sea as to Swetten-
ham. He has all of them side-step-
ping.
In cropping around for reasons why
Swettenham has seized the occasion
of a sober international episode to
exploit himself as a Dogberry, it is
surmised that mis- conduct was in
spired by resentment of President
Roosevelt's attitude toward Jamaican
negroes in Panama. Others explain
the incident by the presidents refusal
to accept British aid for San Francis
co. Again, there is the notion that
something devolves on a man with
name like Swettennam.
But none of these theories takes
the affair out Of the realm of pure
conjecture. Until science evolves
some plan by which experts can take
a look at the inside of the heads OF
persons like Swettenham their acts
must remain a dense mystery.
But that is no reason why some
clever librettist should not seize the
radiant opportunity offered by the
incident to eclipse the
opera Of "Pinafore. the chef d'oeu-
vre of Gilbert and sullivan.-Kansas

GOOD ROADS STATISTICS,

According TO Golfers figures, be-
tween the beginning of 1895 and the
close of 1906, New York spent out of
her state treasury the sum of $780,
1000, 900 in the important work of
making roads good where roads had
been bad, and during the same period
the counties of the state expended the
same amount, making New York the
leader in the work with a ten year
Expenditure Of $100.DO0,O0O or $780,
1000, 900 per annum Certainly that
is very large amount to spend in
one year on the making of good
Iroads-but the beauty OF It is that
New York is proceeding in the work
with increasing expenditures for good
roads, and the farmers OF the state
are exceedingly joyful over the fact
because of the enormous saving they
make in hauling their products to
market, or to the railway station or
to the wharfboats
1t is not hard to see why they re-
jolce The saving a farmer would
make because of good roads would
immeasurably exceed the amount of
taxes paid for the making of roads
as they ought to be made. Moreover
the work is being done so carefully,
especially with reference to the found
alton, that the prospect of increased
taxation for good roads grows smaller
with each year.
Pennsylvania is not to be consider
ed as out of the running in the race
for good roads Notwithstanding she
is not up to the rank of New York.
Within the past six years she has
expended from her state treasury the
sum of $4,000 900. Individual cities
and districts have expended in addi-
ton the sum of $1,500 900, making
a six-year total of 81 500, 900, a most
creditable showing. In Pennsylvania.
as in New York, the road tax Is paid
with cheerfulness for the farmer
knows that good roads. save him
largely from expenses, and the mer-
chant knows that good roads bring
the farmer TO his counters and his
bargains.
In all, there are nineteen out Of
the forty-five states giving state aid
to roads with their political subdi- |
visions adding largely to the work
from their municipal and county
treasuries.-Fulton Leader.

out all Caucasian competition in
every occupation which he enters,
just as tn Chinese coolie did a
quarter of century ago. He has al
ready driven the Cherry orchardist
out of the productive Vaca Valley,
about sixty miles north of San Fran
cisco. But it is in the latter city that
he is the greatest menace. To speak
specifically, let us take the case of a
Icobbler He has learned his trade
in his own country. He has scarcely
set foot in that city, when he rents a
dingy little room in close proximity
to white shoemaker who has been
established in that location for many
years. Then the little brown man
puts up his, sign and announces his
scale of prices. A perusaI of the lat
ter shows that he asks about one
half the amount charged by his white
neighbor for similar work. Gradu-
ally his business increases, while that
of his white neighbor diminishes.
The white man, with a white mans
habits of living, trying to bring up his
little family decently and honestly,
trying If you please. to give his child
rem the benefit Of good education,
finds that he has been brought face
to face with an alien competitor whose
material wants are few, and who can
subsist on fare on which a Caucasian
would starve. He tries to stand 1t
for while, but sooner or later, when
he sees the blanched faces of his lit
tie ones, when he begins to realize
that he cannot provide for them as
has been mis- wont, the iron enters
his soul. He begins to understand
that this unequal competition means
that he must come down to the Jap
aneses standard of living or he must
quit the neighbornood in which he
has been established these many years
to begin anew the struggle for ex-
istence in some other section which
the little brown man has not as yet
invaded.

WOMAN,s RIGHTS.

Pending in the Illinois legislature,
is a measure, extending the franchise
to women, except in elections of
judges. Indiana's female suffrage
bill comprehends all town and city
elections. Ohio permits women to
vote for school trustees. Why wom-
en- should be allowed TO vote at all,
and then be restricted in the right Of
suffrage, is beyond the ken Of logical
intellect. The Illinois law idea is al
most insulting, as though under pres
sure the men would permit the wom-
en- to vote, but to preserve the purity
of the judiciary, except it from the
wholesale surrender. In Ohio it
would appear that the very opposite
is the intention, and the hope of bet
tering the school situation prompted
the legislature to invite feminine par
ticipation in the selection of the trus-
tees. Indiana solons, no doubt,
think woman's sphere has sufficiently
broadened under the freedom of our
institutions to awaken an interest in
local affairs, particularly if she is a
taxpayer.
In the great west where, racial,
creed, political. sexual and social dis
tinctions are minimiEed in the wide
latitude of thought and action, wom-

older communities men are extending

just as capable of the right use of

an on a pedestal. He would keep
her above sordfd things, and the cleo

We see no reason, as a matter of
right. why woman should not vote.
She owns property, she claims the
protection of the flag, she has sons
and daughters, and is interested in
the moral and political welfare of the
nation.
Enthusiasts insist that women will
purify the ballot and add an over
whe.ming reinforcement to the cause
OF righteousness. But in the breast
of the average man there is balanced
the question, "Will women uplift poll
itics, or will politics lower women"
