KENTuCKY,s SHAME.

What use has a man for a pistol,
unless he be an officer on duty?
How many men carry pistols dur
ing the day and sleep with them dur
ing the night, and lay themselves
liable to arrest and Imprisonment to
say nothing of the danger by accident
to themselves or some member of
their family?
What need has a man with big
pistol under his pillow at night, or in
his pocket during the day? What
good does he expect to accomplish
either for himself, his family or So
ciety? Out of the hundreds of peo-
pie who carry pistols not two per cent
of them are justified in doing so un-
der any consideration.
Where a pistol has saved one life
by having It constantly carried on a
person, 1t has been the cause of at
least ten times that number by acct
dent, ITO say nothing of the trouble
and the amount of fines and humili-
alton of arrest and Imprisonment.
The disgrace of Kentucky chivalry
today is tn diabohcal habit of her
men and boys in carrying concealed
upon their persons. deadly weapons
The greatest reform of the age Is
needed now along this line. Some
states havJ started reform against
the habit of carrying pistols and have
done great good in that direction.
Kentucky needs to start this reform
now beginning with the year 1907.
Every day of the year in Kentucky.
thousands OF big stout men are load
ed down with pistols, brass knucks
and other deadly weapons, in viola
ton, not only of the statute, but OF
cur moral laws.
This reform should be taken up by
The circuit judges, commonwealth
attornies, county judges county at
torneys and besides all officers of the
law, the ministers should take it up
in their pulpits Sunday school teach
ers should speak of it before their
classes, and every good citizen of the
commonwealth should frown upon
this pernicious habit.
We do not know Of any habit Ken
tuckians are guilty Of, that Is so de-
structive to the moral welfare and
safety of our people as the carrying
Of deadly weapons.
This is civilized country, and the
people are Just as safe without a pis.
tol hung on their bodies as they are
with them.
The habit OF sleeping with pistols
proves to b a dangerous one.

Pure Blood Is Essential to Good
Health.

DIR. A. =. sun, the discoverer OF
Osteopathy, stated many years ago
that perfect circulation of blood con.
tanning the proper food elements foI
tissue nourishment was absolutely
essential for the maintenance OF
health. and all researches along bac.
THEOLOGICAL lines have proven with
out doubt the fact.
Perfect circulation is dependent
on normal structure. AS long as the
different parts of the human organ
ism are in proper relation to each
other, and We observe the laws OF
Nature, the arteries and veins will be
unimpinged and the blood emulate
freely.
Pure blood is the best germlcide
known. Germs and their III effects
will disappear from the presence OF
pure blood.
The dry, hot-air treatments that |
give. in connection with Osteopathy
restores the circulation to its normal
condition, and improves and stimu-
lates the blood. | have had marked
success in its use with people in Pa
ducah you all know well, and to
whom can refer you II you wish evil
dence of the fact.
The treatment is successful in all
cases of stomach and liver disorders,
malaria conditions. rheumatism,
and chronic headaches.

enough you would have found out
what the hucksters' license is before
you published the article in the pa

You furthermore stated that the
peddlers sold Inferior ware. If that
be true I pity the city officials for

CLIENT RELEASED
IN POLICE COURT
Agrees to Discontinue Practice
at City Dump
Would Like TO Suspend Contrac
With City During High Water
But Is Bound.
CANNOT REACH THE CHANNEL

Client & Elliott, contractors for
the city garbage dump, are between
two fires. and either way they go
means a scorching. If they continue
as they have, they will be fined in po-
lice court, and If they try to fulfill
their contract with the city, it means
a loss of hard earned money.
81 do not know what / am going to
do about it; 1t looks like either way
go, am in for it," was the declar-
alton of Client in court this morning.
Judge D. A. Cross had dismissed a
warrant against him charging his firm
with dumping garbage at the foot of
Clay street. The dismissal was eff
fected through an agreement that the
contractors would remove the dump
below the incline, or dump the gar
bage in the chanpel of the river, and
not in any place where it will be left
high and dry on land when the high
water recedes. Also to remove all
garbage dumped at the foot of Clay
street when the water recedes.
President c. II. Brothers, of the
board of health, and Health Officer
w. T. Graves were present and an
attempt at compromise with them
was made. DR.. Brothers told them
that If they would go into the chan
mel of the river all would be well.
Client declares that this would re-
quire the services Of two or three ex-
ira men and possibly a gasoline boat,
and he could not afford to do it "for
the money" The firm is paid SGD
monthly to tend to the dump
This afternoon the contractors will
locate place, IL possible, where the
dump may be moored subject to the
approval of the board of health.
Client & Elliott tried to arrange to
discontinue the contract until after
the high water has subsidized but the
board Of health does not favor it.

CLOSING AN INCIDENT.


II ever there were time and place
and subject for a masterpiece of di-
rision, they we're found in the United
States senate in connection with the
Brownsville incident. and if ever the
man of the hour was present, ready
for the opportunity, the man was
Senator Carmack. Glorious it was
for the lovers of the brilliant and
caustic in oratory that this debate
came up before Carmack was sue
ceeded by the popular violinist, Bob
Taylor; for there Is not another man
in the United States could have done
justice to the occasion and to For
aker and Tillman. Nothing more viii
ever come of the Brownsville incl
dent. It seems as though it was just
gotten up for Senator Carmack's ben
eft. The pugnacious Foraker and
the tempestuous Tillman had each
taken advantage of the occasion to
vent their spleen on the executive.
Foraker, II is true, had some practi-
cal motive in trying to make a race
issue of the affair, but Tillman just
got up and stormed because he heard
the name of Roosevelt. They are
both men who have regulations as
DULLES Of the forum. They have
tongues that silence peace-loving
men. 1t was their regulations that
made them such satisfactory tar
gets for Carmacks wit. And Carmacl1
he hates the president as much
as ever Tillman did, and said so. To
quote Mr.. Carmack: 81 have a great
admiration for that strong, brave,
large-mlnded gentleman, the secre-
tary of war. My admiration for the
president is more temperate and sub
dued."
Having Invested himself of all sus-
picion of prejudice in favor of the
president, he proceeded in the same
sarcastic vein to take the hide of
the senators from Ohio and South
Carolina. Only once did Tillman
break in and then he sank back limp.
ly. Not a word of protest did the
Ohioan indulge in. He heard Till
man interrupt.
The Indictment of Foraker opened
with these words:
l can remember with what
frantic energy he used to wave
the bloody shirt-a shirt dyed
with the crimson current of his
own rhetoric; l remember how
he used to go raging over the
land. a bifurcated. peripathetic
volcano in perennial eruption,
belching fire and smoke and melt
ed lava from his agonized and
tumultuous bowels.
With Foraker and Tillman out of
the arena the Brownsville incident
will go slow on the senate stage, and
We may expect 1t to be withdrawn
from public notice. An, welli It served
its purpose. It called forth a final brill
liant outburst from Tennessee's sena-
tor. and he is always worth listening
to and reading. 1t would have been

So 1t was arranged, and half an hour
later they were rolling leisurely along

turnpike. 1t was the first time he had
been alone with her since the day of
the accident, and he determined to
seize the chance for saying something

He rode yet a trife nearer and
stretched out his right hand; she put
