and fire commissioners for their sill,
alarm over the condition at the Stand
ard Oil headquarters" for its tanks
Chief Wood, who has been fighting
fires in and around Paducah for q
score of years, says to the genera
council 81 would recommend for the
safety of the lives and property in
that vicinity that the tanks be re-
moved" 1t does seem a shame tC
work a great hardship on Messrs
Rockefeller and Rogers simply for the
sake of the elves and property in
that vicinity. "The Standard OF
has been in the present location for
a number OF years" 1t has the first
right other people should have
built elsewhere. They should have
built Paducah north and south and
left the Standard Oil company in ex-
elusive possession of the railroad line.
But instead of declaring the Stand
ard Oil tank headquarters" to be
safe the News-Democrat refers TO
gasoline engines run by incompetent
hands, which it says are more San-
gerous. We do not know to whose
engine ii refers; but if he knows of
any that are menacing the city, the
public spirit, which impels him to
rush to the defense of the industry
on this occasion, should impel the edi-
tor TO notify Fire Chief Wood. if he
has any confidence in the chief, and
we feel sure the menace will be ended
That one menace exists, does not ex-
cuse the existence of another.

gress meets, the Dingley schedules
Twill be changed. and probably some

We are not so bigoted as to believe
that there were not abuses of the
lDingley tariff. There is always that
danger of some interests by hook oil
crook gaining some advantages; but
take It all in all, the Dingley tariff
sustained the American policy well
Throughout its term of service, de-
veloped America industrially and
commercially and made us a rich and
powerful nation.
Il will not do to discuss the pro-
Itective tariff as If IL was some meas
ure hoisted on the American people
by special interests, A hugh major
| ity of the American people have voted
for It for As years, and Jackson and
Clay before that were moderate pro-
tectionists.
Roosevelt's and McKinley's major
titles were tariff majorities. Hereto
fore our tariff has been constructed
only with a view to its commercial
and industrial advantages. With the
adoption of our reciprocity treaties,
flexible provisions that will benefit
the consumers and the manufacturers
both to a greater extent, are secured.
As our statecraft improves, we shall
Improve our tariff regulations and
adjust our internal affairs more mar
moniously. That Is something that
can be said for the Republican party,
in all the years of its existence ii has
not stood still, except on principe.
In the practical matters of govern
ment il has ever been the progressive
party. adjusting itself to new condi-
results. II is this fact that has at
tracted the young men to it, con-
stantly replenishing its resources and
giving 1t new life and new ideas every
four years.
The Republican party has never yet
failed to reflect the progressive senti-
ment of the majority of the people OF
the country. when II does, the Dem
ocratic party or some new party will
wrest the reins from its hands. Until
then. no platform and no orator can
stop the growing majority of the DOM
inant party. Above all. the policy of
protection is the American policy. II
is still susceptible of improvements.
1t is not a divine institution; simply
a human instrument that has been
tested in every conceivable way and
found serviceable for the purpose for
which 1t was intended When the
tariff is revised. il will be revised by
protectionists and according to the
best modern Interpretation of protec-
tion to American working men.

TAGGING PETS

In order to save their pet dogs,
many owners are still taking out IL
censes. City Clerk Maurice Mcintyre
at noon had issued 25S tags, which
means a revenue of S214.S0 to the
city. OF the number only 2S are fe-
males. The tags have been issued so
rapidly that the numbers are well up
into the hundreds. The fine water
spaniel dog of W. c. Dassing has the
honor of wearing tag 23, but she is a
brave dog and makes the other pets
'skiddoo.

A NEW INDUSTRY.

II is perhaps with as much aston
ishment as local pride that Paducah
citizens learned for the first time this
morning that the Standard Oil com
pany is a Paducah enterprise. Here
tofore We have been under the i'm
preston that the Standard Oil COM
pany was commercial trust of many
aliases, with a different name in every
state where It operates, and its head
quarters on Wall Street, New York.
But, not So for We read in the News
Democrat in reference to the removal
of the tanks from Tenth and Monroe
streets, Paducah: '"rhe headquar-
tiers of the company have been in
their present location for a number of
years and the fire which occurred a
few days ago was the first for many
years To force the company now
to move its headquarters so.ely be-
cause of a complaint on the part of
a few nearby citizens would not only
work great hardship on the com
pany but on Paducah as well for in
made TO suffer, the city as a whole
suffers proportionately.
THE present location of the plant
Is one decidedly isolated and in the
event a forced movement was made
some other locality and possibly one
not nearly so desirable in point of
safety would be selected"
Isn't it inspiring to think that our
industries such as the Standard Oh
company, find an ever ready cham
pion in the News-Democrat, which
feels that great hardship" will be
Imposed on John d. Rockefeller and
III. II. Rogers, if their tanks in Padu-
cab are removed outside the city to
point mot nearly so desirable" Not
only will John d. Rockefeller and II.
II. Rogers be made to suffer accord
ing to the News-Democrat. but PA
ducah as we'll" The organ of the
Standard OIL and kindred indus
tries does not say how Paducah Will
suffer. We could have wished for
something more explicit We trust
this Is not a covert threat that the
Standard Oil company will move
away from Paducah and not let us
have any fore coal oil or gasoline to
burn, unless we permit its tank
headquarters to remain where thoy
will jeopardize the heart of the city.
The News-Democrat might conceive
of something as terrible as that. btIt
the tender hearts Of II. H. Rogers
and John ID Rockefeller, that pulsate
in sympathy with all humanity
could not entertain such a fiendish
revenge. No. no, II cannot be that,
The News-Democrat Is scornful of
the NEARBY citizens" II does seem
strange that the people. who live
closest to the tanks. and see the
trains passing day by day and the
sparks flying over those tanks every
night; that trembled as they beheld
flames leaping high around the tank
headquarters of the Standard OF
company lest their own homes mi ght
be consumed, should be the first tC
complain? One would have expected
people living beyond Wallace park tC
be the first complain, or the bust

Bank Robbers at PeppereIi,
Massachusetts,

Pepperell, Mass, Dec. 3.-This city
was the scene, yesterday morning. of
one Of the boldest bank burglaries

history.

volver shots fired in a house next
door to the bank. jumped in an au-
tomobile which they had in waiting.

out upon the street. When he with
drew the bolts he found the door had
been barred from the outside Realiz-
ing that something had happened he
secured a revolver and fired several
shots to call the police. When these
shots We're fired the safe breakers left
the bank and dashed away in high

Left Much Money Behind
The burglars. in their sudden flight,
failed to take much money that they
would have secured if they had not
been discovered. When the police en-
tered the bank building and switched

several bags that had been hurriedly
opened and then abandoned. Out OF
