HAD MIR. SCHMIDT YELLED "Po.
 LIcEi

Let's see-there was a musician named Schmidt, a most excellent man and good yiolinist. The work. ing people of San Francisco, grown suspicious of such men as Mayor Phelan, whom they believed aided and abetted the employers of labor in certain strikes, chose Schmidt as their candidate for mayor-to better things. One Ruef, who knew the game of irresponsible politics, en. tangled the inexperienced musician in his game and pretty soon every. body in the government was en tangled in mess of corruption, The mayor, Ruef, Tirey Ford, have been dragged through the slime of the courts and are gone or on their way to prison. Would.be assassins have attempted to blow up witnesses and have destroyed property In their TiId effort to escape the result. An. other wouldbe assassin has placed tn prosecuting attorney in the hospital and has himself gone to the grave. And now the head of the police. found to be sunk in the general mire has taken his own life unable to face exposure of his rottenness. And this with retribution only well under way. And to think all this would have been different had Mayor Schmidt. at the proper time simply yelled police!

A Real Instance.

The Alaskan has such respect for Mir. Wright that it refuses to reduce him to the ranks of the pessimists. But there are many examples of this queer sort of egotism. After com. muuication had been set up between Nome and St. Michael by wireless and continued with unqualified sue, cess for more than a year. wireless experts in numbers insisted that the thing could never be done inland could never be made a commercial success over the mountains and val. Ieys of the great wilderness where there was such great need of 1t. It was sagely argued tout of the paltry little experience that had been haO that the TREES. being lively con ductors. would never let the message get past them. The very head of the department said this. But few en. ergetic and enterprisIng men TRIED, with all their might and intelligence. and the station at Gibbon 500 miles inland. had hardly been installed when. in answer to their efforts. 1t caught a message from a ship a thousand miles out to sea.

SOME REFLECTIONS UPON A CERTAIN QUALITY OF EeoTIsm THAT IS NOT AT ALL LIKE THAT OF NAPOLEON.

Wilbur Wright Is being widely quoted as saving that the flying ma chine as a commercial commodity, may come to the third generation hence It he means us freighter he is optimistic but if he means as a ready couveyOr of peOple-well. he probaby didn't say 1t. There are al lot of people without imagination. or who affect to have none-which is tbe same thing. since it means the non employment Of that very help fpI aid.to-understanding-who think 1t a demonstration of wisdom to take the negative side of things, to doubt and to knock. Certainly the Wright brothers cannot be of this class since they have climbed into the air on machine heavier than the air and have themselves realized those dreams that ages of pessimists have been laughing at. Since MT. Wright is flying through the air in criss.cros fashion. before. in the face of and across the wind, and carrying passen- gers with him, and this at, practie' ally his first attempt. and in his or igiual machine. with more success than characterized the relative at. tempts at steamboating, and far in advance of those at automobIling, it is not conceivable that he does not realize what be has done. What re- mains in the matter of commercial utility for the flying machine is a matter of detail. A million inventive minds are eagerly employed on this interesting problem and developments are to be expected to follow rapidly
 lt is a safe prophecy that ten years will see the flying machine competing with the automobile in the matter of supplying the rich with new thrills.
 If Mir Wright has been guilty Of seeing impossibnities after the impos' sibnity has been overcome then 1t is the first evidence of weakness he has manifested in the public eye. It is a queer manifestation of egotism "a uon.recognition of the possibili- ties in others. One of the most win ming characteristics of that most popular of men as well as most won derml Of intellectual wizards. Edison, is his optimism and his respect for the possibilities that lie in the efforts O f others. If I don't find it some. body else will" is his iteration in every published interview-while yet you and I have come to believe that if Edison cannot find it nobody else can.

An Actual Fact.

By actual service the new wire, less system Is proving its worth. An instance of how valuable the ser vices may prove as auxiliary to the old system is provided in conditions that exist today. Last night the line to Valdez went down at Telkhell and the Eagle extension was severed near Panama Crossing. That shut off Fairbanks from the outside com pletely, had it not been for the wire less. Pressing the latter into service, however, 1t was possible to flash a message to Circle. relay 1t to Eagle and then forward lt to Seattle via Ashcroft over the Dominion lines in Canada Of course sending mes, sage by that route Is more expen' slve, but often expense cuts little figure where there Is the more i'm portant consideration of haste"

THE COUNCIL DEFERs.

We have the utmost confidence
that. when the ordinance, compelling
the removal of the dangerous coal OF
and gasoline tanks of the StandardOi
company away from Tenth and Mon
roe streets, is brought to final vote n
the general council, sufficient mem
bers will stand by the citizens OF Pa
ducah to pass II, although action wal
deferred last night for two weeks, Il
allow the members another opportun
ity to investigate the situation.
Standard OIL employees have beer
heard to declare that the tanks will
not be removed, and citizens should
not consider everything accomplished
Just because the committee has in.
structed that an ordinance be pre-
pared. To be sure, the matter was
referred by the general council to that
committee and 1t has been dragging
for weeks since the last fire was
started by tanks in the heart OF the
city igniting from locomotive sparks,
but now the lower board grants two
weeks more delay. and the tanks will
not be removed and the danger avert
ed until the ordinance is passed.
No doubt the officials of the COM
pany will be glad to conduct the
councilmen on the investigation JUS
as they have conducted other city
officials, and for that reason the citi
zens should not neglect this impor
tant matter. They must show thes,
oouncilmen that they are just as vi
tally concerned in the presence OF tn,
gas generating oil and gasoline tank
IN the heart of the city, as is the own
er Of the tanks Some times impor
tsnt matters are allowed to die II
legislative bodies OF neglect. Let u
not permit such fate to over.ak'
this measure. lest we awaken earl,
some morning to find the sky lit with
the flames OF Paducah. our propert,
in process Of destruction and oul
lives In danger.
