ing with President Roosevelt to dis
cuss the conservation of our natural
resources. II is something unique in
American politics for men to take an
interest in the affairs of their country,
except for pay. The men, who are
discussing the national problems, are
leaders of thought, and men who have
successfully accomplished their life's
work. There are no private interests
represented in the gathering. there is
no one in the group seeking an adj
vantage for himself or what he rep
resents. 1t is'pure patriotism that
actuates the prominent men at the
white house meeting.
A number of governors from vari-
GUS states are in attendance Bryan

named various governors to preside

THE CITY TREASURER.

Injustice in more ways than one
was done City Treasurer J. ]. Dorian
in an article in local paper, which
said he was appointed by Mayor
James p. Smith. Mr.. Dorian was not
appointed. but elected by the people
4 of Paducah by good round majority
and he is holding by virtue of the will
of the people expressed at the polls.
Unquestionably If his right of tenure
is questioned he will insist on his
right. He has possession OF the Office
and the good will of the people, who
voted for him. "
IL would be an unfortunate thing
If a fiscal Office should be dragged
into the court, ,after the people have
SO emphatically endorsed the conduct
of the incumbent IL there was a
question raised about the election and.
the expression of the choice of the
people. that would be a different
matter; but the suggestion of a con-
test means simply that somebody.
who desires the emoluments of the
Office, intends to resort to a techni-
cality to defeat the will OF the people
expressed by the ballot, and Gust
the man, who has served them well
and whom they chose of their own
free will. Changes in the fiscal offices
always result in more or less con-
fusion, while the new official is be-
coming acquainted, unless it happens
that the retiring official was incom-
petent Since the people have so de-
cidedly Endorsed Mr.. Dorian's con-
duct, it would be disastrous as well as
unjust to carry the matter into court.
The attorney general has set the seal
OF his approval on Mr.. Dorian's cleo
ton ratifying what the people did
last November.

When the late Augustus St eau
dens started to remake some of our
coin designs 1t was expected that he
would secure as models female types
that are wholly American. There
was good cal of unfavorable COM
ment over the fact that an English
girl has served as model for Liberty
on one of our coins and that little
school girl had posed as an Indian to
adorn the back of the copper cent.
Now We were TO have American types
that should be perfectly reasonable in
Iall respects
We do not suppose that American
girls are lacking in beauty, or that
they have not profles as classic and
contours as delectable, but it turns
out that after all, st. Gaudens chose
the pretty face of a charming young
waitress who was born in Ireland, and
she now adorns the coins which are
soon to be issued. A protest was
filed with the department, but il wan
overruled. The Irish beauty wins
and the American girls must suppress
their wrath as best they can
We see no occasionto get excited
over such small matter as this.
Art knows no red lines on the map,
Beauty is not national except as to
certain types. II an irish girl suited
the artist best. then It is more glory

from his neighbors. No doubt the
interests bruised by the big Stick
would have been pleased to nominate
q reactionary candidate for the presi-
dency, not knowing the popular feel
ing on the subject, and they were
ready TO encourage any sch eme that
PROMISED success. Bryans hackers
hoped for the same thing. 1t was q
strange freak OF fancy on the part OF
men, whose national platform for
twelve years has been venomously
hostile to the moneyed interests OF
the country, to believe that money
backing would be sure to elect their
candidate. Col. Watterson has re-
peatedly taken the view in the Cour-
ier-Journal that Bryan stands for a
fair show to win, because "Wall
street" is hostile to the administra-
ton.
Financial interests in the east. we
must remember are just as much de
pendent on the sound condition of. the
country as are the rest of us. and
they are not apt to ruin themselves
to spite the president. They know
that the administrations course is
right and will prove correct in the
hong run, and they are now clamoriHg
for the ants to get off the track to
save the business interests of the
country. That is the deal between
Taft and Wall street. He has whip
ped them, that Is all.
