A CITY BOARDING HOUSE.

The crashing teeth bit hard
On a stern and rib-bound roast,
While fboarders 'gainst a dented wall
The leaden biscuit tossed.
And their anxious brows grew dark
Ase they glanced the table DER,
And recognized in a chowdered form
Some things they'd seen before.
What sought they thus afar?
Fresh loaves and tender meat?
The wealth Of seas, the spoils OF
farms?
They sought a bit to eat.
Not as the conqueror comes
They hurried in pellmell,
All hungry-eyed, emaciate,
At sound of dinner bell.
Aye, call 1t what you will,
The proudest spirit bows
Before that nameless, shameless
thing,
"A city boarding house.

MOVEMENT RECEIVES ENDORSE
MENT Of BUSINESS MEN.
SHOULD BE MADE SOON.
Wholesale Dealers Say They VIII
send Representatlves--Real Estate
Men Enthusiastic-Trlps Over All
Railroads ii Eastern Montana.

Business men Of Billings appeared
10 be very enthusiastic over the idea
st ! trade excursion, as suggested by
The Gazette, when interviewed yester-
day by a representative Of the press,
and without exception declared that
such an excursion would receive their
support. These wer not confined to
the wholesale dealers alone, but the
retail merchants, real estate dealers,
professional men, and, in fact, all 9TH
ers who have the growth and welfare
Of the city at heart, declare that much
good would result from a trade excur-
sion.
when approached on the subject
many Of the retail merchants stated
that the movement would receive their
support, and the wholesalers stated
that in all probability they would send
representatives, providing the cost OF
such an excursion vas not beyond
reason.
Backes Favors II.
Charles G. Bacsles, manager for the
Ryan & Newton company, is in favor
Of such an excursion, and stated that
his firm would probably send one or
more representatives.
Secretary Decker Of the chamber OF
commerce believes that the idea OF q
trade excursion is a good one, that the
movement on foot is timely, and that
the excursion should be made soon, so
that the merchants Of Billings can be
come personally acquainted with the
merchants and consumers in the small
towns and be benefited by the spring
trade resulting from sucn an excur-
sion.
Should Get Busy.
The retail merchants and several OF
the other wholesalers say that 9 trade
excursion should be arranged at once,
and that Billings should fall in line
with the rest Of the cities in the state
and become acquainted with the
smaller merchants and the consumers
in the large area Of territory that is
tributary to Billings. Trips over the
Burlington into the Big Horn basin
country, which will be benefited by
the new rate recently granted; over
the Northern Pacific as far east as
Forsyth and as far west as Livings'
ton, have been suggested. as well a.
excursions over the Billings & North.
ern as far as Lewistown.
No Time In Summer.
Id. O'Donnell, president Of the
chamber Of commerce, said yesterday
that, in connection with these trade
excursions. he thought that there
would be q great opportunity offered
to enlarge the scope and work Of the
chamber Of commerce by meeting the
business men and boosters Of the
smaller towns within q radius Of 9
100 miles or 90, Of Billings and inter
esting them in the work Of the cham
Der Of commerce In advertising this
section OF the country. He also stated
that he believed there was no time
like the present to have . trade e1cur
sion, since in the summer months bust
ness men and others concerned arr
too busy to consider such q thing.

THIEVES


There is an element of nobility in
the character of the pickpocket and
sneak thief, that is utterly lacking in
the make up of a thief Ike Judge
Booze whose crime required no cour-
age, physical or moral, but rather the
opposite, and whose populations were
the result of an entire absence of
fidelity. Such a man would commit
any crime against those nearest to
him, II he were not restrained by fear
of the consequences and his ability
to satisfy his wants by less hazardous
methods. The fact that Booze stood
high in lodge and church circles dur
ing the period of his criminal career
emphasizes his lack of character.
Whether such deficiency is inherent
or whether improper early training is
responsible. Is question; but here
is a lesson to parents. Children should
be brought up with a careful regard
for their honor, and a sense of re-
sponsibility in life Many a man has
been virtuous because he never has
been sufficiently tempted. Many a
capable subordinate has fallen victim
to opportunity; because his parents
did not reinforce his backbone with
that impregnable element OF character
that could not even consider betrayal
of trust as a possibility.
Booze did not hold his lodge honors
as something up to which he must
live: he did not take his church asso-
citations as something sacred. He did
not consider the confidence of the
officials under whom he served and
the public trust as something to be
guarded deared than life. He recog-
liked only the eleventh command
ment: Thou shalt not be found out. ,"
Some people may look upon him
as degenerate. as lacking in a quality
Of mind II may be so. There may
be children so weak that they can
never be trusted In that case. I'll
was duty, Booe's employers duty toI
investigate his record at least. He
had a bad one; but neither Auditor
Hager. nor Auditor Coulter seemed to
have discovered either his record or
his conduct.
The Paducah evening sun. [volume] (Paducah, Ky.) 1906-1929, 1908-12-03

the use of printing timid words, when
bold speech has failed?
The hand that guided the pen is as
true a hand as the mayor has found
in Paducah since his Inauguration,
the mind that directed that hand har-
bors no. guile, but only honest affec-
ton for the mayor There was no
malice in the article; nor does The
Sun nor the writer himself agree with
the harsh criticisms of those inter-
yiewed-but, those things were being
said, and real friendship makes no
parley with sycophancy. Sometimes
the hand of love seems more cruel
than Indifference. There may have
been no call for any warning. The
Suns regard for the success of the
the peace of Mayor
Smith and its sympathy with his
policies may have eonjured fears that
were groundless. But there were the
stories; there was the complacent at
