THE AMERICAN GEAR

Win some citizen who loves liberty
as he loves his life give the people
OF this great nation reasons why the
president and his cabinet must hold
Official meetings TO disuess statements
and campaign arguments TO he Is
sued by the president to the people
for the purpose Of influencing the
election In favor Of his choice as
successor? This Is a pertinent
question. and one that every citizen
may well ask II he cares for the
perpetuation OF republican govern
ment In this country. The recent
manifestos of the American president
20 the people are bordering too close
~ upon the realm of autoeFacy to
be safe and sane. Remember the
presidents arbitrary exercise OF an-
thoFity In Diminishing whole TegI-
ment from the army; remember his
attacks on private citizens whom he
termed nature takers; remember his
exiting OF an army officer: remember
how he threatened congress and at
tempted TO force the members to
pass legislation regardless OF their
views of the proposed laws; think OF
the president calling a cabinet meet
Ing 20 consider the resignation OF
the treasurer OF the democratic ma
tional committee. and charges made
against him by political opponents.
with view TO giving those oppon-
ents the support and Official endorse
ment Of the president and the cabi-
net; then turn to the ezar OF Rus
STA and see u you can find any more
despotic use. or abuse, OF Official
power than your own president, In
free America. Is using today to elect
William Taft his successor and presi-
dent Of these United States. From
an admiTer OF Roosevelt we have
come 70 view him as the most
dangerous man to republican
government that has ever allied the
high ONCE Of president. This is
strong language. bat who win dis
pute It's TRUTH Who will defend
President Roosevelt and his cabinet
for making the political success OF
q iayorite candidate the subject of
Official cabinet discussionf The
presidents true position should be
a digniaed silence. and he has no
more right to interfere in a cam
paign than the chief justice OF the
supreme court. People who love
their country more than they do the
president should condemn his meth
DDS It the polls BY voting for Bryan.
The active Interference of the
president and his cabinet Is not alone
confined 10 making attacks upon
prominent members OF the demo-
cratic party. but in addition to the
reported consideration OF Haskell's
case az yesterdays cabinet meeting
the press report OF Washington brings
the news that the case OF T. Coleman

AWAY Be Reduced Fifty Per Cent

"may Be Reduced Fifty Per Cent"
On August 30. 1907. Mr.. H. e. Miles
chairman of the tariff committee OF
the National Association OF Manufac.
turers, wrote to Senator Foraker a
letter In which Mr.. Miles said:
About forty per cent OF all the
members of our association who have
by correspondence pronounced for re.
vision declare in their letters that
their own schedules MAY PROPERL Y
BE REDUCED FIFTY PER CENT OR
MORE WITHOUT HURT TO THEIR
RESPECTIVE INDUSTRIES OR TO
THE COUNTRY AT LARGE"
How exorbitant must be this prec.
ious tariff fostered by the Republican
party when even forty per cent of its
beneficiaries, frightened by the rising
tide OF public sentiment. admit that
their own schedules may properly be
reduced fifty per cent or more without
hurt to their respective industries, or
to the country at large"
II the common everyday experience
or the consumers il not sufficient to
awaken Republican voters to the
iniquity of the existing tariff system.

ferred to ought at least to challenge
attention and invite thoughtful inVes.

OTHER PEOPLES MONEY

1t is a remarkable fact that the
rule is that city officials pay practi-
cally no attention to securing the
best returns for money they are
called on to expend in the interest of
tax payers.
First the council, and now the
board of aldermen. have accepted a
bid for about four blocks of street
improvement at price not less
than six thousand dollars more than
a fair price. When the bid was sub
mitted to the general council it was
considered by people generally so
grossly excessive, that no thought oc-
Cured but that it would be rejected
without discussion. AS this was not
done, a protest signed by practically
all the frontage owners on the two
streets was submitted to the board of
aldermen asking that the bids be re-
Ijected, as too high, but no. other peo-
pies money foots the bills and the
bid was accepted.
The proposition to issue four hun
dred thousand dollars of bonds to
make future improvements and per-
hitting tax payers to pay in ten an
nual installments should be rejected
by the people, so long as there is no
one to exert sufficient influence to
prevent the city and people being
held up by outrageous contracts like
the one for the improvement of
Broadway and Jefferson streets. The
Sun is a consistent advocate of pro-
gress, but 1t believes more in having
the peoples affairs administered prop
|erly and fairly than it does in a
course such as we are now witness

NOMINEE TAFT.

To the average laymen, not en-
dowed with political foresight or the
gift of prophesy, and unbiased by any
prejudices. the nomination of Secre-
tary Taft by the Republicans has been
forseen for at least sixteen months.
OF course Wall street. and kindred
group of financiers, some of whom
are to be found in every community,
could see nothing but the re-nomina-
ton of Roosevelt This was but ad-
ditional evidence that they did not
know their man. Roosevelt would
not have had a third term, and could
not have gotten it should he have as
pired to it.
No man was ever called to lead his
party in national campaign who
brings to the work better tempera-
ment or more natural endowments
than William II. Taft. Schooled by
the practical work he has done in
three administrations, there is no
phase OF public life he has not
touched, and the friends who know
him best saw his administration will
be as marked for good work as has
been that of Roosevelt. That he will
follow out Roosevelt's policies is as
sured. That he will use different
means to continue the good work in
augurated by this administration is,
TOO. assured.

WORLD KINSHIP.

Those inventions that abridge time
and space, Macauley declared, have
been the most beneficial to mankind.
He was thinking how the railroad, the
telegraph. the ocean greyhound and
the telephone, had made the whole
world next-door neighbors.
But the most marvellous invention
of this age for bringing the widely
scattered races of the earth into an
acquaintanceship and eliminating
.prejudices, is the newspaper. Japan
morning and evening can know the
slightest change in mood in the
American people, through the world
wide news service, and the citizens
of the United States forms an opinion
on conditions in Madagascar before
breakfast, from reports of events that
happened the night just past.
Our population of 100000, 600 each
day is informed of the doings of the
Chicago national convention. and a
national public opinion is formed
afresh, morning and afternoon. This
wonderful humiliation of time in the
distribution of vital news, is making
us the most intelligent nation on
earth. other nations have competent
news service, but the American news
paper is ahead of them all. News
dealers in Paducah are selling large
numbers of metropolitan papers dur
ing the convention, and they are
astounding productions in the COM
completeness with which they report
a great event.

INTERIIRRAN

Nothing succeeds like success, and
with the beginning of actual con-
struction work on Paducah's first in
terurban railway, a stimulus to other
interurban projects doubtless will be
given. Paducah will prosper in pro-
portion as all roads are made to lead
to the city, and for promoting easy
and frequent communication between
the rural sections and the city, the
interurban is unsurpassed
The farmers living along the route
of the interurban to Cairo. will be as
sured of good roads to their markets
all the year round. This will give
them an advantage over their neigh
bors who have to trudge through
miry dirty roads, weary miles to town,
that will soon tell in the competition
of farming Farmers who were ac-
customed to drive through with a
wagon to the city market, will soon
be able to load their tobacco or pro-
duce on electric cars that will put
them in Paducah at large saving in
time and money.
When the country gets back on the
old boom basis, as it surely will. Pa
ducah gradually will become the CEN
ter of network of interurban lines
that will solve the good roads prob
lem in a large measure. Suburban
real estate values will take a squirt,
because they will be easily accessible
for city workers. Retail merchants
will have opened up to them a new
patronage. the prospects of with
ought to enlist their hearty support
Of every practicable project, in inter-
urban construction.
Trunk line railroads really have
nothing to fear from the competition
of interurbans because their business
Is largely new business. If we take
the word of such men as James J.
Hill and Martin A. Knapp, the rail-
roads should greedlly welcome every
conceivable aid in the transportation
problem that faces this country under
normal conditions.
