HARMONY EXISTS
AS RESULT OF THE
REGENT CRUSADE

Instead of there being friction be-
tween the mayor and the head of the
police department as the result of the
crusade against vice, it is apparent at
the city hall that Mayor Smith and
Chief Collins are closer together now
than ever before, and each has entire
confidence in the other. Bad friends
lendeavored TO make the breach when
the crusade offered opportunity. but
after a confidential talk last night
the mayor and the chief struch hands
and they Will stand together in the
fight for a clean city. .
The chief said he thought the mayor
did not trust him, and II cut the
the chief deeply, because he has been
In the department many years. The
mayor in his hearty fashion came
down to the point and said something
like this: you will not serve many
years more actively on the force, and
you mustn't quit this way. BE a man;
don't pay any attention to knockers
You stand by me in this fight am
making, and then when quit, If you
wish to retire, you will retire with
your record completed, honored for
your service. You haven't a better
friend in Paducah than |, nor one that
trusts you more. There never will be
another occasion for misunderstand-
ing between us two, If you will tear
up that resignation, and take my right
hand in token that YOU are with me
right straight through this fight"
Chief Collins never said word,
hut the straight talk went to the right

shook the mayors hand.
There's only one thing the mat
ter with you, Chief" commented the
mayor. "Your hearts too big"

OLD PULLMAN ABUSES.

The Pullman Go enjoys monopoly in furnishing sleeping car accommo- dations on the railroads of the coun- try. This corporation Is highly pros- porous. The cutting of melons for the delight of its stockholders is a matter of fairly frequent occurrence. The rates for service are high and are maintained rigidly. When a railroad lowers fares for any particular occa- sion and thereby attracts large num- bers of travellers, the Pullman Co makes no corresponding reductions in It's charges. It fills the upper berths at the same rates that prevail for the lower berths. Boat lines make diff ference and charge less for upper berths than for lower.
 Among the petty annoyances Of railroad sleeping car travel that growing out of the quality of blan- kets furnished is one of the most ir- ritating. Winter and summer the Pullman car patron is furnished with a single board like blanket. In sum- mer seasons this blanket ordinarily sCI thC ptiooSh6Vi " "ho throws it off and uses only the sheet, the one other article of covering fur nished. it is likely to be uncomfort- ably cool.
 It is more economical, of course, to furnish patrons the one style of blanket, winter and summer, so that custom is followed by the Pullman Go, regardless of the comfort and health of the travelling public. The boat lines, which compete with one another for business, are obliged to be more considerate. They furnish their patrons, as rule, with bed cov- erings suitable to the prevailing tenn perature.
 Inasmuch as the Pullman Co en- joys monopoly, the only way to cure the abuses which it perpetrates upon the public is through regulation by the agencies of government Regula- tion of this sort has been delayed al- together too long.
