Center Are Met by Cold Shot
While at Work
GET AWAY WITH PLUMBER
Between Forty and Sixty Less Head of
Chickens Now Comprise Theodore
Helmke's Flock = Thieves Return
Two Hours Later, Slaughter Hog,
and Carry Meat Away.

One of the boldest pieces of thievery
that has taken place in the county in
long time occurred late Saturday
night, five miles north Of State Center
in 1he French Grove settlement, when
two men stole between forty and sixty
head Of chickens from the Theodore
Helmke farm, and then butchered a
hog, carrying away the meat.
Met With Shotgun Fire.
It was not without an element Of
risk. however, that the thieves were
successful Mr.. and Mrs. Helmke have
been In Texas on visit, and only ar
rived home Sunday morning. Their
man, Ben Miller, has been in charge
of the farm. Miller was awakened by
the noise in the hen house, and i'm
mediately got his shotgun. He could
see the forms of the men In the moon
light, but because the cattle were just
beyond them he shot high, intending to
brighten them.
Thieves Return the Fire.
Miller emptied both barrels In tne
direction of the men, and the thieves
returned the fire with revolvers. They
then beat hasty retreat, and with
them went the stolen chickens, that
they had already got loaded before
Miller became aware Of their presence
Come Back for Pork.

thieves were, looking after, however,
according to later developments. Two
hours after the shots were exchanged.

animal with them excepting the head.
Mr.. Helmke said today that there
was no clue as to the identity OF the
thieves.

How would 1t affect Paducah man
ufacturers? The greatest item or
costs always is labor. European
manufacturers with their pauper
labor have the advantage Of Ameri-
cans. IL the tariff is reduced, the
manufacturer, who had made up his
stock before hand. would be con-
fronted by drop in price when Euro
pean goods came in at a reduced
tariff. IL would cut his profit. An
other snip" at the tariff might de-
stroy his margin of profits. Maybe
merchants fearing this spasmodic. un-
certain reduction would cease buying.
The manufacturer then would either
have to stock up at the Old wage
scale and take a chance on losing by
tariff reduction or cut wages in antici-
patton of the reduction. or turn OF
his hen until orders came In.
Here is where labor is affected.
When the manufacturer is compelled
to meet this irregular reduction, he
is compelled TO cut down the chief
item of expense-labor.
Labor unions were built up under
high-priced prosperous times. II is
only when protected industries are
able TO sustain the price that labor
ing men are able, through united
effort, to secure higher wages. Their
higher wages increases their buying
capacity. stimulates the demand, en-
courages invention and keeps the
price of farm products at a maximum.
There is nothing else that equals
this question 20 the merchant. the
manufactures, the workman and the
farmer. A worldwide panic struck
us and caused suffering; but wages
stayed up. resumption Is gradual and
the farmer has profited. save where
he has not yet realized on his to-
bacco and he is holding that for his
price.
Let these ask themselves II they

oially with the slow torture of the
diabolieal gradual reduction"

A DANGEROUS EXPERIMENT.

The local morning paper says:
IAN intelligent voters are aware of
the fact that the tariff plank OF the
Democratic platform is a moderate
and conservative declaration to the
effect that the party pledges itself to
gradual reductions in the schedules as
may be necessary to restore the tariff
TO a revenue basis, and not one word
Is said about enacting a tariff in ac-
cordanee with the principles of free
trade"
The best way to study these propo-
sitions is to apply them to conditions
We understand. We assume that our
contemporary and Mr.. Bryan are not
quite confident that tariff for revenue
only will be safe, else they would
favor immediate reduction. That
would put the merchant. manufac-
turer and laboring man. the people
interested, on notice. and prepare
them for the worst at least, which Is
more than their gradual reduction"
would do. Their hesitancy TO stand

nation is made of how this gradual
reduction" is to be brought about
We can understand a lady going
around each day shipping superfiuous
shoots from a geranium. but the
president OF the United States and
ASP congressman doing that to tariff
law. is something that deserves an
explanation.

To what Democratic officials and

News-Democrat refer as the ones,
who have done most TO suppress night
riding and bring the outlaws to jus

the streets of all the towns in the
dark tobacco district and are known
TO the majority OF the inhabitants.
They boast OF their immunity, they
defy the law. they threaten those,
whom they hate. They have de-
stroyed million dollars worth OF
property; 100000 acres of country
land are on the market; they have
exiled law-abiding citizens and whip
