PADUCAH AMUSEMENT co.
Already Started Preliminary Work
for Opening Latter Part of

Another carnival will be acid in
Paducah this year. Last year when
the Paducah Carnival association

ey. The association went out of bus
mess permanently. 1t has been sue
ceeded by the "Paducah Amusement
company and its members are prac-
tically the same.
1--WE will have a carnival this
year" Mr.. Rodney Davis declared
this morning, and exhibited letters
received from several amusement
companies. 1.-The Padncah Amuse-
ment company" is the name of the
new corporation which will give it.
We are in correspondence with the
Parker Company Cosmopolitan com
pany AMI Robertson company. We
will hear from others too, and this
year will have many new attractions
never before seen in carnivals. AS to

tho tragedy Of real life. no pure
minded, sane, human being could
feel anything but thrill of horror
at the tale and take home a lesson on
the curse Of idleness, the futility of
riches and the certainty that death
and punishment will follow sin and
crime.
Here we have retribution follow
ing as the logical consequence of sin.
Not alone is punishment for Stanford
White. whose artistic temperaments
pleads no exclamation under the
searching rays of truth; but Evelyn
Nesbitt Thaw in her own degree
must live life OF torment. Harry
Thaw is paying for his transgres-
sions. and no luxurious "trip through
Europe, no life of pleasure in New
York, will serve for one moment tc
ease the tortures which must lash
their souls.
The story told on the witness stand
by Evelyn Nesbitt Thaw has been
limited at by the pulpit and the press
by parents and Sunday school teach
ers. but never with such telling di-
rectness as in this. Dramatic, sim
pie, truthful, there is no reason IL
good morals, why it should not bt
tod. Indeed. we might as we'll sup
press the facts about defaulters ant
burglars on the principle that the
publication of facts suggests the ides
to receptive minds. The press cannof
temper its news to suit the kind o.
minds the good women of Chattanoo
ga seem to think predominant in tina
community.
The fact is, we are always suspi
cious of the bent Of our neighbor'i
mind, and solicitous of how the new
will affect him rather than abou
how It will affect us. The information
concerning the details the newspa
pers are publishing in Chattanooga
which undoubtedly the good womel
acquired at first hand by reading
did not upset their moral balance, an'
probably did not destroy the poise o
other people. Those good womei
have set themselves up as censors
an Office the modest newspaper mai
does not assume. Yet, the American
press is clean, and reflects in a mark
ed degree the public mind; for al
ways remember, that success in TIL
newspaper field consists in keeping
pace with the community, squirting
on occasionally, of course, rathe
than in galloping ahead and wheei
Ing back.

Doubtless He DID So.

A certain young preacher was
mucn disliked by his congregation
for his foolishness and copceit. He
considered himself greatly persecut-
ed, and, meeting an old German
friend of his on the street one day,
began to tell his woes ending up by
saying. "And Mr.. Brown. the church
warden, actually called me a perfect
ass; my cloth prevents me from re-
senting insults, but I think should
refer to it in the pulpit next Sunday.
What would you adviser"

Newspapers and statesmen (God
save the markD who oppose any
adjustment of the San Francisco In
cident on the ground that recogni-
ton of the national rights of Japan
as trucking, are answering the de
mand for the fertilization of the
Philippines with a counter demand
that we sell them. Why sell them,
may We ask? Lest Japan take them
away from us? That looks cowardly
in Itself. The value of the Philip
pines may be mooted question, but
TO sell them to avoid having them
taken away from us by Japan. and
still worse. to really have them taken
away by Japan, are not to be thought
of. Moreover, We will not sell them
TO Japan. We have a higher sense
of duty than the little brown men.
Kiplng has sounded the doctrine in
his RecessionaL We bear the white
mans burden. Belonging to a super
Tor race does not smack so much of
advantage as it does of responsibility.
If we are superior, then We have SUI
perior Obligations, that is all; and
more is demanded of us than of
them. We could not In good con-
science dispose of the Philippines un-
less that sale would be of advantage
to the Filipinos. In dealing with the
millions of that archipelago, we must
not consider our own advantage, but
their ultimate good. No matter what
their attitude toward us, no matter
how inferior their intellect and NOR
ais, that very difference between
them and us makes the burden on us
the more pressing. We are a nation
with a mission. Let us perform that
mission as becomes a superior race
and nation, not as Japan might OF
Russia might.

what Osteorathy win po.

There are but few people who have
not heard of Osteopathy, also of
some of its achievements. But there
are far too many who have accredit-
ed it with being good for only those
conditions from which they have
been cured, or which have come I'M
der their observation. Not infrequent-
ly there is mutual surprise when one
who was cured of rheumatism meets
another who has been cured of asth-
ma or constipation. This is a homely,
but very true illustration.
Personally. / have cured chronic
cases of constipation, rheumatism,
asthma, nervousness, neuralgia anu
headaches for people whom you
know well. and the value of the os-
teopathic treatment is but coming

THE THAw CASE.

Prudish women in Chattanooga
have he'd a meeting to protest
against the publication of further de-
tails Of the Thaw case on the ground
that the testimony is of a nature to
hurt public morals. Whether or not
the well meaning women are right,
we do not undertake to decide; but
gre prepared to say that not one jot

their readers with the reports of the
trial be abated, because news
papers furnish their patrons what
the editors believe their patrons wish.
not what the editors think is good
for their patrons. The province Of
the newspaper is to inform not to ed
ucate. Nor can It be said that this
attitude Of the press is commercial
rather than Conscientious. Who are
newspaper publishers and editors that
they should set themselves up to die
tate to the world what the world
shall know and what the word shall
not know? As a matter of fact
newspapers every dav suppress facts
that would make spicy reading, but
would only serve to iniure some indi-
vdual without adding to the sum OF
human knowledge This. however.
only Eliminates the human side of
the newspaper business, and does not
establish a principle
We acknowledge that there are
newspapers that cater to the basest
of human passions, but then there
are grocers who sand the sugar and
put the ripe tomatoes on top, and we
do not condemn the grocery business
for that If we would stop the
abuses OF the free press, we must do
one Of two things-put an end to the
free press. or reform those people
who patrOnize he evil newspapers.
The Thaw trial S being exploited by
the "yellow" press in its accustomed
style, and TO the credit of the news
paper craft let l be said that pro-
fessional news writer's could not do
justice to the case from their point
of view, and they are employing pop
uiar novel writers and dramaists to
dish up their "siush' to their pat
rons.
The reputable press Of the country

Nevertheless, assuming that It IS
the duty Of an editor to censor his
