THE CORNER TuRNED.

George J. Gould thinks the financial
situation has turned the corner He
sees constant improvements. The
Pennsylvania and the Interborough
Transit systems have borrowed money
and that is "a good sign" However
the big financiers whose operations
are based to a great extent on antici-
pations, will feel the Improvement he
fore the fellow who labors with his
two fists. Just as they caught the
first shock of the reverse. Unfavor-
able railroad earnings until June are
predicted by Mr.. Gould and that
means economy of expenditure and re-
Guced forces for another two months.
When it is all over, and It will be all
over soon, we shall look back and
wonder at the nerve displayed by the
public, which prevented a panic.
In spite of the fact that factories
have shut down in many places, and
unsteady commercial enterprises have
collapsed under the strain and some
Injuries have been cut of, the people
have denied themselves few comforts
and conveniencies, except where
actual poverty has dictated. In fact,
the severe stress has been felt most
where, what are termed ordinary com
fcrts and conveniencies, has nevei
been enjoyed.
The result is that. the reduction in
attendant on slack orders
has been out of all proportion to the
reduction In consumption. and shortly
there will be an dissatisfied demand in
many lines. and factories will resume
operations with full forces at the
usual wages, and if il pleases Provj-
dence and meets with the approval of
the powers, which control congress
sional action, We may have a currency
measure that will enable local banks
to take care of the annual financial

mands for moving crops at certain
times of the year: and some sort Of

An interesting exposition and in

ing given in the waiting room of the
Union station this morning by a farm
el who said he was from Calvert City
in Marshall county, was cut short by
the appearance of Commonwealth S
Attorney John G. Loyett in the room.
Although the man said a few minutes
previous to Lovett's appearance that
he did not know Mr.. Loyett, he stop
ped talking Immediately when the Off
cial stepped in the door, and although
urged to go on by bystanders, had
nothing more TO say.
The fellow expressed himself as be-

course, no night riders will be on the

moned they will not remember that
they knew anything about the case
until after the trial is over. You see
when man gets the right idea into
his head he will not do anything
against the night riders"
The man didn't believe any OF the
accused night riders in west Kentucky

lion as affording comparison be-
tween morning and evening news
papers, because The Sun today con-
tains the actual result of the conven-
ton. Observe also the sixth column
.of the News Democrats front page,
where the result of the Ohio Demo
cratic state convention is set forth.
The Sun had it. last evening.
The fifth column of the News
Democrats front page is devoted to a

Crittenden county night rider out
RACES. Last night there, were SO men
in the Marion jail. and 22 Of them
were arrested and taken into Prince
ton about 3 O'Clock last evening.
The comparison shows that the
evening paper publishes the news
THE DAY 1T HAPPENS, and the
only conclusion to be drawn in the
local situation is that the News Dem
ocrat now publishes the news only ~
hours after The Sun. instead of "a.
This probably accounts for the News
Democrats assertion that ii prints
the news IL hours ahead of The Sun.
Its publishers realize that somehow
it has gained a half day on itself;
and they assumed that it also gained
on Its competitors. But readers can
see that IL still lags ~ hours behind.

COMPARE THE PAPERS

y In the morning News-Demo-
crat may be found the same
news twelve hours earlier that
appears in the afternoon paper
J -impudently declares the News
Democrat this morning.
We have become accustomed to
reading that papers declarations that
1t stands for morality and civic
righteousness, and seeing it at the
same time defend the immoral side Of
every public issue; and we have no
space in which to criticize its rather
tiresome daily advertisements OF
what 1t intends to do but never does
in the way of improving its news ser
vice II 1t can fool anybody that is
all right: but such is not The SUMS
policy. The Sun expects to be judged
by results, and to sell papers. because
it contains the most accurate and
freshest news; not simply because it
says it does.
The News-Democrat may go on
Boosting, and The Sun will go on
publishing the news THE DAY IT
HAPPENS-not the next day. Both
papers are before many of the people
of Paducah. The News-Democrat has
made the assertion that in It may
be found the same news twelve hours
earlier that appears IN the afternoon
paper"
Please compare The Sun of We'd
nesday evening with the News-Demo
crat of Thursday morning. The sec
ond column of the News-Democrat's
front page this morning has as its
leading article the statement that The
Sun told a lie Wednesday evening
a bit of bad newspaper manners a
falsehood and a feature the News
Democrat has played up" every day
since It went into the morning field.
The third column contains the story
of the murder farm at La Porte, In
diana, about which The Sun had two
columns Wednesday evening, nearly
twice as much as the News-Democrat
has this morning. The feature of the
fourth column. IS the Republican stat e
convention, without the details which
The Sun published yesterday, and
with the added bit of information
that at "the preliminary convention"
