a number of crab farms, and the crab
farmers can match dollars with any
class of small farmers in the country
The crab season is a short one, and
it is easy money for hundreds of per-

shipment of any importance from the
Chesapeake crab farm was in 1887,
when the output was valued at sS4,-

near Crisfield, Mr.. Lavalette owns a

acres and on which he has more than
100000 worth of diamond backs,
ranging in size from that of 10 cent
silver piece to the "buster" terrapin,
which are worth as much as $3.50 a

employees were grumbling because the city
had funds on deposit in local banks for
which per cent was paid to the city
while the banks charged the employees 2
per cent.
In the first place. Mr. Mead said, the
banks had from two to half dozen GUS
toners who would take the entire $3.50. 900
or more involved, thus doing away with
all the clerical work. They had many
customers who would willingly pay per
cent.
Then he explained why the city de-
posits were not profitable. To borrow
$500 from the city the banks must deposit
$1,000 worth of municipal bonds worth
per cent. The revenue from these is $40
while $1,000 loaned by the bank at Z per
cent would bring $40.
OF this $500 of city money one-third
must always be kept on hand by the
bank as it is subject to checking at any
time. The other 5000 goes out at per
cent. yielding $42 The net loss to the
bank is 81 per $1,000.
1.-The banks accommodated the councils
finance committee simply because the
members asked us to do it as a patriotic
act" said President Mead THE banks
took the city deposits to keep the money
in circulation.
Personally I recommended against TAX
ing the city money to the directors Of the.

of the more timid city employees are
charging them from 2 to 5 per cent a
month for liscounting the pay warrants.

GAIN LITTLE FROM ADVANCING

Say They Actually Lose Money in Ac-
cepting Municipal Deposits at 2
Per Cent, Because of Re-
strictions Imposed

Several Los Angeles bankers, taking
umbrage at criticisms of their course,
printed in some newspapers, emanating
from city employees, have decided not to
cash any more city warrants.
They say they undertook to do this
work as a favor to Messrs. Blanchard
Dromgold and Wallace of the council,
who as a committee, asked the clearing
house to extend this credit
The object was to keep the employees
warrants out of the hands of money
shavers. who would charge greater in
terest.
Many employees are now finding fault
with the arrangement and it has put the
bankers in bad humor.
Members of the council say they expect
in some way to repay the employees
finally for the expense they are put to
in paying Z per cent interest on four
months extension, as it was through no
fault of theirs that the municipal pay
master went on strike.

For further information apply to
Prof. George o. McBrOom, erstwhi,e
Democrat and Democratic Office
holder"
This diatribe of the News-Demo-
crat is incomprehensible, except in
connection with a recent accusation
of the same paper that Prof. George
o. McBroom had refused to do a
certain thing, while enjoying Demo
cratic pie"
That makes the News-Democrat' 8
position clear. Prof. George o. Nc
Broom for a dozen years was in
charge Of the Paducah public schools,
and he was elected by Democratic
boards. Consequently, the thought
arises, If "incompetency, inability
and "lack Of any of the qualifications
essential to making a competent pub
lie Official" are Characteristic of Pro-
fessor McBroom, those Democratic
school trustees should have discover
ed his shortcomings in those twelve
years and his retention, if incompe-
tent, is a reflection on those gentle
men.
During his service as superintend-
ent of schools, no doubt. Professor
McBroom properly eschewed all poll
tics; but the declaration. that he was
eating Democratic pie" indicates
the esteem in which the public
schools Of Paducah are held by the
News-Democrat and its allies. The
office Of superintendent under a
Democratic board Is considered
Democratic pie" by the News-Demo-
crat. That this is so is shown not
only by the editorial; but by the
platform Of Democratic candidates al
the last election: "Paducah schools
for Paducah people;" meaning that
they considered positions in the
schools as so much political patron
age. Undoubtedly they considered the
platform a vote getter and nothing
else.
Professor George o. McBroom new
er held a Democratic Office in his life.
II Democrats for twelve consecutive
years elected him superintendent OF,
the public schools, IT was because
they considered him eminently fitted

them if they did not.

oNR FOREIGN RELATIoNs

If Japan wishes to know how the
national administration stands, she
can learn by reading Roosevelt's
speech at Cairo, a safe, courageous
exposition of Americas foreign pol
Icy, coupled with the declaration that
the Pacific ocean is our "home wa
tiers" as much as is the Atlantic. He
said:
"The only safe and honorable rule
of foreign policy for the United States
is to show itself courteous toward
other nations, scrupulous not to in
fringe upon their rights, and yet able
and ready to defend its own. The
nation is now on terms of most cor
dial good will with all other nations
Let us make II prime object of our
policy to preserve these conditions
TO do SO 1t is necessary on the one
hand TO mete out a generous justice
10 all other peoples and show them
courtesy and respect; and on the
other hand, as we are yet a good
way of from the millennium, to keep
ourselves in such shape as to make it
evident TO all men that we desire
peace because we think it is just and
right and not from motives of weak
ness or tmidity."
This followed an excellent exposi-
ron OF a proper national attitude
Neither a coward nor bully. Meth.
or taking insult. nor giving insult
A nation so ready to fight, yet so tenn
perate, that the world can see, we
seek peace, because We desire It; not
bcause we are afraid.
With that sort Of attitude Japan
