loom so largely in the public eye al
this moment that all the other posi-.
bic presidents appear to be almost en-
tirely eclipsed Two OF these four the
country believes, will be the rival
candidates before the people at the
next election. Hughes, Fairbanks
Cannon, Knox, La Toilette, Gray
Harmon are little talked of. and only
incidentally to discussion of the four
men named. II is almost universally
believed that one OF these four will
be the next president Of the United
States.
II seems TO be fact testified to,
as It is, by the great majority of men,
with whom one talks in all walks OF
life. that II the masses of the two
political parties could have their way
and name the candidates they would
unhesitatingly choose Roosevelt on
one side and Bryan on the other. II Is
strange how these two men are en-
throned in the hearts OF the masses
of their parties. II seems that a
certain principle OF human nature, TO
which I called attention some months
ago. operates In such way as to
make Il impossible for the masses,
under normal conditions, to permit
more than one man to enter their
thoughts as representing their ideals.
Instinctively, II appears, men like 10
look up to leader, not to leaders.
In the first rank there IL room for
but one. The people are hero-wor-
shipers--one hero to each political
subdivision. but not two or more. In
modern political mythology man cre-
ates one god, not a plurality OF gods.
Nearly every man one meets says
Roosevelt could have been nominated

happen to know, this is also the presi- |

other story, upon which II would be

AFTER THE GRIPPE.
yinol Restored This Mans Strength

Several years ago / was attacked
by a severe case Of grippe, which left
me with hacking cough, soreness in
my chest and bronchitis. | took
nearly every kind of cough syrup sold
on the market, besides medicine given
me by physicians.
81 received no permanent relief
until my druggist asked me TO try
Vinol, and after taking three bottles
was entirely cured.
81 believe Vinol to be the greatest
blessing ever offered to the public, as
it does what is claimed for it."-R.
e. r. Hicks, MaplesyiHe, Ala.
The reason Vinol cures chronic
coughs, colds and pulmonary troubles
Is because IL contains tonic iron and
all the healing and body building ele-
ments of cod liver oil but no oil.
VinOl is also unexcelled as a
strength builder for old people, deli
cate children weak and rundown
persons, and after sickness.
NINOL is sold in Paducah by W.
IL. Mcpherson.

BASKETBALL MAY
BECOME POPULAR
Many Local Teams May Organ

Picked Champion Team May Uphold
Honors of City Against Outside

ENTHUSIASTS HAVE PLANS

Prospects for the organization Of a
city basketball league to keep the
fans in food for the winter are bright
but not until after Christmas is
there any promise OF championship
games Football has been placed on
the shelf until next season leaving
the city championship in the balance
between the Chess. Checker and
Whist club and the Paducah Athletic
club. With the spirited rivalry IL Is
believed that four team city league
would not be a drag.
The Elks and the Knights of Co
lumbus, who had creditable baseball
teams. are certain to have star fives
as both lodges have plenty of avail
able material The Elks have had a
Nttle practice, but only preliminary
work. The Chess, Checker and
Whist club viii have basketball
team after the holiday season. and II
Is thought that the athletes OF the
Paducah Athletic club will organize
a team.
With four teams IN the field It Is
easy to arrange a schedule and have
championship games. whlch would
draw crowds. Then the champion OF
the league would be In line for games
with the teams from Cairo and var
ious colleges that have played on Pa
ducah fields.
High school will have team
among the boys. and II IS certain that
the High school girls win have four
teams. Last year the girls of the
High school fought It out for the
championship. and the games drew so
we'll that the girls athletic fund had
a neat little balance in Il at the end
of the season. Basketball has never
been a general winter sport in Pa
ducah. but with the haunts full Of
hungry fans there Is no excuse for
the slack in the winter game.
The gymnasium IN the Eagles
building is the most available place
but repairs are needed before the
gym will be in the best OF shape for
the games. With several active
players pushing the league prospect
there is hope OF basketball league.
