W7ay CHICAGO is Dishonest.

Why Chicago is Dishonest.
The police department of Chicago has received
a severe jar by of the municipal judges. They
claim that some of the policemen are granting pro-
lection to dangerous criminals; and, that when
rants issued, the police allow sufficient time to
elapse so the criminal can escape. The astounding
charge is also made that they have frequently
rested innocent persons instead of the real offenders
It is difficult to say how many such innocent persons
have been sent to the pententary, but it is safe to
say that there are few of them doing time. If an
officer is not above accepting brides from burglar,
he surely would not hesitate to swear away mans
liberty, especially if that man is stranger.
If the municipal judges of Chicago would pre-
sent united front they could easily reform the
"cops or else worry them to such extent that it
would be advisable for them to be honest When
crooks are given protection it is difficult to get evil
dence upon which to base conviction Therefore,

HIS majesty, the King Of Siam, is perhaps one
of the greatest spenders that has visited Europe
In bis recent trip to Germany it is reported that he
spent over million and half dollars in giving en-

day by inviting the whole city to participate in the
festivities and it was necessary to bring wine into
the city in carload lots in order to satisfy the demand
It is evident that the King of Siam is royal

upon the wickedness of dying rich. Our rich nabobs
should take lesson or two from Slams monarch on
how to spend their money toward making the people

their royal benefactor long as they live, and for
many day to events will be reckoned from the

Prophet HObSOn.


For some time past Richard P. Hobson has been
severely censured for advocating enlarged navy.
Since the race riots along the Pacific coast has
proved the desirabty of more warships, the hero
from Alabama is looked upon prophet. Today
there are few Americans who do not agree with Mr.
Hobson, and it is now likely that the navy will be
doubled within the next ten years.
Mr.. Hobson is correct. This country needs
larger navy The it is doubled the better for
the peace aud safety of the nation A country as
rich as America can afford to support navy as big
if not bigger than any European power. In case
is declared the present navy could give excellent
account of itself; but if it should suffer reverse it
would be helpless SPANS navy at Santiago
de Cuba. No doubt when Congress is again in ses-
sion, Mr.: Hobson's views will have many adherents
and ample provision will be made toward increasing
the navy to equal that of any power earth.

A CHAPTER IN Mr.. HAoER'S TEN
PERANcE RECORD.

In 1904 brewing company applied
TO the county clerk OF Laurel county
for a license 10 establish a wholesale
depot at Pittsburg in that county for
the sale of, their beer. Laurel being
local option county, the clerk wrote
to Auditor Hager. the chief fiscal Of
/ hcer of the state. and was advised
that Il was his duty to issue the H.
cense which he did on July l. 1904.
Later the attorneys for the brewing
company. not being satisfied as to the
right Of the clerk to issue the license.
wrote Mr. lIager, the auditor. and re-
quested to know whether the license
should be issued by the auditor or by
the county clerk, and Mr. Hager re-
piled that II should be issued by the
clerk.
In June. 1905, before the first II
cense expired. an Injunction was sued
out by citizens OF Pittsburg, KY. and
the clerk restrained from issuing the
license. The clerk therefore refused
to renew the license and the attorneys
for the brewing company rendered the
tax TO the auditor. who. in accord with
his former decision that the clerk
should issue the license. and in obedi-
ence to the Injunction. refused to issue
the license. Thereupon the brewing
company sued out mandatory In
junction 10 compel the auditor TO is

pointee OF Governor Beckham. grant

pealed the case and might have re-
fused to grant the license pending the
appeal, but instead Of doing this he
issued the license. and drunkenness,
debauchery and crime cursed the peo-
pie OF Pittsburg for nearly one year
longer. when the court of appeals re-
versed Judge Stout and the brewery
ceased from business at that point. In
the meantime many indictments were
found against them. and on appeal
from fines in these cases the court OF
appeals decided that neither Auditor
Hager nor the county clerk could is
sue license in a local option county.
In Mr.. Hager's eagerness TO serve
his friends the brewers. remembering,
no doubt. the $4,000 check which the
brewing combine had given to help
his election in 1903. he neglected 10
ask the attorney general for his opin-
ion on the law. but advised abe county
clerk. who must report 10 the auditor.
to issue the license Notwithstanding
the local option law prohibited such
action.

uAcER's PERFIDY.

In explanation of the following edi'
torial clipping from the Nashville
American, the greensboro Enquirer
(DemocraD says;
"'To employ a stereotyped express
sion, Kentucky is in the throes of a
political campaign. The Democrats
expect to win, as usual, but there
are some indications which point to
a close race and the possibility of
the election of Wilson, the Republi-
can nominee for governor. Many
Democrats say the state has had too
much machine politics. What the
state would gain in the election OF a
Republican governor is not clear
"The American does some very fine
guessing in the foregoing. In fact

people as expressed at the polls. The
machine has made some deals lately

into control of the Democratic party

more be so entrenched in the state
as to resume their graft games. The
American also says:

There is no probability Of Beck

mise with the machine. therefore is

CONFEDERATE
VETERAN INTRODUCES WILISON
AT BOWLING GREEN,
His Pronunciation of Henry
Hines.

Bowling Gren Ky, Oct. 1.-THE
Hon. A. Z. Wilson, Republican nomi-
nee for governor, spoke at the opera
house here yesterday afternoon to an
audience Of fully 1900 people, mostly
voters. The opera house was crowded
to its utmost capacity. and a great
many were unable to gain admission
One noteworthy feature of the audi
ence was the presence of hundreds
of Democrats. several of whom occn
pied seats on the stage. Mr.. Wilson
was introduced by Robert Hurd. an
old ex-eonfederate soldier, and one of
the best known farmers Of Warren
county, and who has always until re-
Gently, been a Democrat.
Mr.. Wilson spoke for an hour and
half. and at the end his audience
seemed loath that he should quit.
His speech was pronounced by all TO
be a masterpiece of exposure Of the
state ring.
He spoke Of the great number OF
Democrats and old confederate sol
diers who called on him at his room
said that he was meeting with the
same announcement in every county
in which he had been during the cam
paign. which he said was conclusive
proof that the hypocrisy and incon-
sistency of the Beckham-Hager ad-
ministration was becoming known by
every one.
He referred TO Henry Hines. state
inspector, and chairman OF the Demo-
cratic campaign committee, whose
home is in this city, in the most scath-
ing terms. and charged that Hines
was drawing his salary of $3.50 from
the state and not rendering one bit OF
service. and had not done so for
months. He charged Hines with COM
ing to Bowling Green and leading the
whisky forces IN the recent local OPP
ton campaign, when he should have
been inspecting Bill Semonins rec
ords. He designated Mr.. Hines as
the wet nurse" Of the state ring try
ing to conduct a sO-called dry cam
paign.
He referred to his Maysyille speech
on the temperance question, and en-
.phatically declared himself in favo,
of the county unit law applying TO
every county of the state.
Mr.. Wilson's speech was well re-
.ceived. and, judging from the scores
of Democrats who pressed forward 10
meet him and tell him they were for
him. after the speaking. It is freely
claimed by the Republican leaders
that Wilson will carry the county.

TIE REGISTRATION.

What story do the registration
figures tell? is the question one hears
lvariously expressed on the streets.
II is difficult to understand what
most people anticipated. Some of
them seemed to think the Democrats,
who intend to scratch their ticket
this fall, would register as Republi
cans, and vice versa. In the face Of
this conclusion, members of the city
Democratic committee frankly admit
that 800 of their registered voters
viii support James p. Smith. ana
they claim several Republicans for
Harrison. a man usually registers
wear after year in the same party and
votes RS he pleases There rs no
reason for his changing party am''a-
Ions every year he decides to scratch
his ticket. The advantage in not
doing so is obvious.
The registration shows only
whether or not the two parties got
cut their full vote. with a steady
growth of population, it was not to
be expected that there would be any
marked change in the political bal
ance Of Paducah.
There was a big registration. but
both parties claim TO have out a hun
dred votes The figures show that
while Paducah has had a steady
growth in four years, the Democrats
have not maintained their relative
majority. In an increase of a thou
sand votes in four years Ono greater
increase than should have been ex-
pected) the Democrats have fallen in
their majority from 672 TO 53S.
1t is scarcely worth ones while to
compare the registration this year
with that of last year, unless one
wishes to create a bugaboo about ex-
cessiye registration. for the vote last
| year does not compare with the vote
four years ago in numbers for the
good reason that four years ago there
was state election and last year
the highest Office was that of police
Judge
There is comparison. however,
that is profitable. Two years ago
the Republicans won. with 1853
fewer votes registered then. the
Democratic lead on registration was
only go votes. In other words. the
standing of the parties is only 60
votes different this year with 1853
more votes capable of changing.
Thirty of those 1853 extra votes
would put the parties in exactly the
same ratio. In addition there are
155 more independent votes, and the
Democrats will concede to the Re-
publicans practically all the indie
pendent votes.
There is nothing in the story the
figures tell, except that the Republl-
cans have made a decided gain In
registration in four years, indicating
that the principles Of Republicanism
are gradually gaining the ascendancy
in Paducah as they have for half
dozen years. This election Is going
to be decided ON the independent
choice of citizens, regardless of party
affiliations.
It is gratifying to see the voters

What OsteOpathy l..

The question is often asked what
Is Osteopathy?" for some PEOPLE have
a very vague idea of this new science
that is doing so much to aid mankind.
Osteopathy. when well digested, is
nothing but good sense and reason.
IL Is a method for treating disease
by manipulation. to restore the norm
al condition Of the nerve control and
the blood supply to every organ OF the
body by removing the physical OBJ
structions, or by stimulating, or
checking, functional activity. as the
conditions may require.
A diseased body Is caused by some
interference to a working part of the
organism, and a correction of It
brings restored health. Therefore,
osteopathy finds the disturbance and,
IL. effects It's cure.
Some of the diseases in which os-
tcopathic treatment has been the
most effective are headaches of all
kinds, nervous disorders, malaria and
bilious, tired down and tagged out

forms, kidney troubles. neuralgia and
rheumatism. Il treats successfully
however, nearly all diseases. If you
