first OF the Coronado islands, tho
ships turned sharply into shore and
for their assigned anchorage POSI-
tion.
The oncoming Of the feet was a
beautiful sight, and the passage Of
the vessels to anchorage was accom-
panied by the footing Of hundreds OF
whistles. the ringing Of bells and the
constant hurrahing Of the thousands
who had gathered on the beach and
elsewhere to view the remarkable
spectacle.
Scarcely had the Connecticut come
to anchor when launch put OF
from Coronado pier with an aide to
Governor Gillette on board. He re-
paired on board the flagship to ask
when 1t would be convenient for the
admiral to receive the governor, who
desired to extend the official greet
ing OF the state to the feet. Admira!
Thomas declared he held himself
subject to the governors command.
A half-hour later the governor, ac-
companted, by his aides was received
aboard the Connecticut with milf
tary honors. Later in the afternoon
the admiral returned the visit and
paid his respects to the governor at
the Hotel Del Coronado.
Following these ceremonies the To-
cal reception committee, headed b,
U. s. Grant, Jr., visited the Connec-

DYCUSBURG.

Dycusburg, says the Louisville
Times, made its appearance on the
map at an early hour on the morning
Of February 4, 1908. Before twenty
four hours had passed the name, If
not the fame, of Dycusburg had been
carried by the gossiping wires from
Portland, Me-. to Portland, Ore, from
Hell-for-Sartin to Podunk.
And for this undreamed-of pub
licity Dyeusburg has to thank a volun-
teer Organization of some seventy-five
gentlemen who thought nothing of
the hardship of a night ride of fifty
miles in order to give to Dycusburg
a place of prominence in the public
eye.
Great undertakings cannot be ac-
complished without sacrifice, and the
sacrifice was not all on the part OF
the riders. A large proportion of the
jewellers in Dycusburg, two in num-
Der. offered their barred backs to the
contact of thorned switches. tobacco
factory was sacrificed to the fire god,
and every home in the hamlet now
bears the marks of the hurting bus
let which sang the hymn of Dycus-
burg's introduction to the outer world.
And Dycusburg paid the freight.
There was nothing else for Dycusburg
to do. q
Incidentally. though Of some con-
sequence, Kentucky is again adver-.
tised far and near as a state In which
the laws are impotentsand life and
property the plaything of those who
enjoy such pastime. The members of
the tobacco growers pool are no whit
nearer the sale of so much as one adj
dtional pound of tobacco, and there is
at large and unpublished in western
Kentucky another band of men pre-
pared at first opportunity to engage
in organized arson and assassination.
Kentucky is paying a round price
for its tobacco.

that Shaw used meat oleaver on her
head, which was tied up, but all of

taurant she threw brick at Shaw as

ton. Unreiabllity of river transport
alton has prevented the proper de-
Ivelopment of wharves, loading and
unloading devices and the larger ship
pers of finished products have pre-
pared for shipping only by rail. add
ing to the disadvantages that the in
Itermittant river transportation Is
forced to bear.
There seems TO be a misconcep
| ton as to the time required to deliver
goods by river in comparison with
that required by rail. 1t can safely be
stated that under present conditions
when a navigable stage can be relied
lupon shipments of less than carload
lots are generally delivered by river
in less time than similar shipments
are made by rail-"
The establishment of year around
navigation in the Ohio, followed by
the similar improvement of Tennessee
and Cumberland river conditions, is
to be desired in Paducah more than
any other waterway Improvement pro-
ject. Chicago and St. Louis are work
ing for the great deep waterway
from the lakes to the gully, a project
that is worthy. but will cost millions
and millions and require years of pa
tient toll. The Ohio tonnage today Is
the heaviest of any of the rivers. The
Ohio valley commerce is the most i'm
portant, and the territory exhibits the
greatest possibilities of development,
while the country back of Paducah on
the tributary rivers is dependent to a
great extent on water transportation,
and Paducah loses money every year
the improvements are postponed.
We are for the lakes-to-the-gulf
deep waterway; but We are for the
Ohio, Tennessee and Cumberland
river development first, and decline to
be led from the active support of this
work, by staggering statistics of the
Mississippi scheme.

During the last six years the Penn
sylvania railroad, west of Pittsburg,
has abolished 159 grade crossings,
and east of Pittsburg during the same
period SOS grade crossings have been
abolished. This work appears to be
more or less voluntary on the part of
the company, which figures, perhaps,
that 1t can save the cost Of every
crossing in the personal injury dam
age suits avoided. Grade crossings
are an abomination that should not be
tolerated by authorities OF city or
county. The extra expense of going
over or under a public highway will
not deter a single railroad extension
and one human life is worth more
than railroad-that is If we reckon
other peoples lives at the same val.
uation we place on our own.

THE INTERNATIONALS.

The regicide in Portugal has at
tracted attention once more to the
anarchists, and Chicago police are
talking of expelling the "reds" from
that city. Most people think OF an
archists as long-haired terrorists, who
throw bombs at everybody, who rep
resents the restraint of law. This is
true of the class most heard of; but
IL the anarchist societies consisted
only OF such ignorant brutes, they
would be quickly exterminated. 1t is
because the theory of anarchy con-
tains a germ OF truth, and "theoreti-
cal" anarchists number among them
men of learning and refinement. who
teach its doctrines, that the societies
exist, and possibly grow. A per cent
.of immigrants from Europe, that
would alarm the people Of this coun-
try. il they just knew IL, are "theo-
Iretical" anarchists - international
lists" is more pleasing name to them.
Law is a restriction of personal
rights. Men in authority are selfish.
Law works injustice. Hence, apo 81
ton to law is justified. The indi-
vidual soul Is more important than
nations. Hence, the anarchists are
international" acknowledging no
allegiance to any government, that
would make them war on their fell
lowmen. They are part Of the great
social unrest; part of the protest
against the law of the jungle; part of
the condition that must exist until all
moral questions are settled and settled
right. Anarchy is "soured" Chris
tianity, like a lot of other auips and
quirks Of the human effort to grasp
the doctrine of universal harmony
Because social order, as man has
made 1t, is not perfect, they would
destroy 1t and restore original chaos.
| Anarchists see something wrong
and they fight II. Their mistake is in
not finding something right and fight
ing for 1t. 1t would require the addi-
tion only of pinch of hunger and an
insult 70 make most of US discover
something sympathetic with our mood
in the creed of the "internationalists :.

IMPORTANCE OF OUR RIVERS.


Fifty-four locks at a cost of $685.
731,4SS would be necessary to afford
a nine-foot, year around stage in the
Ohio river from Pittsburg to Cairo,
ard the annual cost of maintaining
the locks would be $4,000. to
say nothing of the pools to be dredged
This is the estimate made by the
government experts, who investigated
the situation, and they report in favor
of II from commercial reasons. In
the report, the commission said:
whether or not the transportation
of the higher grades of freight was
taken entirely from the river depend
ed upon the frequency and duration
of its navigable stages. For instance,
on the Ohio river such transportation
as shown by the packet trade, is con-
tinued with fair remuneration from
Cairo to Evansville, Evansville to
Louisville and Louisville to Cincinnati,
in SO far as commerce that originates
on the river and designed for river
points Is concerned.
There seems to be no proof that
the proportional decrease In the use
of streams for general transportation

reliability of such streams for such
purpose in their unimpr6yed condi-

Upon their arrival at the hotel he re-

little resemblance TO a mining camp
