COAIMERCIADISM AND INDIvID-
UALISM.

AS expected Mr.. Bryan in the Com
moner attacks Socialism from the
wrong angle. declaring that Socialism
destroys individualism and that the
competitive system is right Yet. 1t
Is the competitive system that has
produced the evils of which Mr.. Bry-
an complains most loudly, and II is
the fundamental principle, OF lack
OF principle, in the competitive sys-
TEN, which the great violators of the
law use In defense OF their practices.
The keynote Of the competitive
system is to get the better OF the
other fellow, and any business man
must admit that tricks are condoned
in a trade, which could not be justi-
fed by any right moral standard.
Applying the principle that to the
shrewdest man belongs to the reward
the Standard Oil company, the United
States steel corporation, the paper
trust and a dozen other like combi-
nations in restraint of trade have but
done what every little merchant in
every village In the United States,
where there is competition. is striv-
ing to do.
The Socialist, who is trying to bring
about government ownership OF ey-
erythirg, is wrong, because he is I'M
dertaking an impractlcable thing, not
because he will crush out Individual
ism. Competition in business per-
petuates individuallsm, but II kills
individuality. and compels every
man to conform to certain con-
ventions, and when man does dis

This week one of Paducahs enter
prising dry goods merchants adver-
tised a sale OF aprons at his store.
He had a supply on hand and to draw
trade the price was cut deep Early
next morning a woman entered thu
store and the clerks thought that the
demand for aprons had begun, but
she wanted to see the manager. No
one else would do. Promptly the
manager appeared. and then she ex-
planned that she was the member of
a church society and that her society
had a bazaar on downtown. One of
the principal articles on sale was a
supply Of aprons. and she was a,mosl
indignant that a store should have
cut prices on aprons.

The close observer may also be aware
that one gong is heard every morn

not heard by as many, owing to :
big part Of the population OF the
city being asleep The tap is the
drill for all the horses in the fire de-
partment. At the Central fire sta
ton a button Is pressed regularly at
these hours, and in all of the four
stations the horses run under the
harness. while the firemen run t.

regularly there is a possibility that
the horses would be languid about
their duty when the
gong hits for a fire.

Russell "RUSTLED"
ONCE TOO MANY

E George Russell was arrested yester-
day On the charge of petit larceny, his
alleged theft having been of an iver-
coat from the Martin Livery barn
on West Rose street. He was arrested
by Officer Rolf.
According to the story told by
Charles Martin, proprietor of the barn,
and the other developments in the case.
it seems that Russell went to the barn
and took the overcoat, which belongs
to Tom Potts. Having pawned that,
he returned and was making away
with laprobe, when Martin saw him.
Martin invited him up town to have
a drink and as he readily accepted,
was soon steered into the presence OF
George Rolf, who took him into GUS
tody.

hops round. and says he doesn't want
to take the medicine and he doesn't
want to go to bed!"

Bobby's room and stood there, tall,
grave and impressive.

don't take your medicine at once, and

Upon which Bobby, alarmed and con
fused, swallowed his allotted portion

Idea Of Church Worker Has Greatly
Increased Collections.

Here Is a story of a church worker
who stands "A pretty good show OF
some day becoming secretary of he
United States treasury. He serves In

men. Shortly after he assumed the
duties of usher there was IN apparent
increase in the general collections.
At the same time II was noticed that
the young men who attended church
singly or in pairs were seated, when
eve 1t was possible. in a pew where
there was ut least one good-looking
Girl. At first it was thought that that
circumstance might indicate a possible
connection on the young mans part
with a matrimonial agency, but that
suggestion he denied Indignantly.
IF you'll just watch the collections"
he said, you'll know why ] seat them
so. I've kept an eye on those co-edu-
~cational pews and ! find that any man
will contribute twice as much money
to the church when there is a young
oma sitting beside him to see how
much he gives. Propinquity may in
some such cases promote matrimony,
but that is not my lookout. 1t Is the

for an Explanation.

has taken up the Audubon society's
war against the hat of many feathers.
This hat is the worst omnivorous
creation hat the milliners have yet
given us she said at a recent dinner.
The number of things required to
trim the hat is frightening. It's appe-
tite, in fact, reminds me of a police
court episode.
"A detective was testifying in the
case of a woman shoplifter whom he
had arrested in her bedroom.
"'And, your honor he said, when
l told her the charge, she turned her
back to me and swallowed a purse, six
suits of silk underwear, a silver can
dlestick, a chatting dish, and
Rubbish! Are you crazy?' the
magistrate interrupted.

is that she swallowed the pawn

Old Mrs. Smith was a chronic com

for the family physician and giving
him a list of her fancied ailments. He
always listened quite patiently, but
was getting a little tired of hearing
the same things over and over.

going over the usual list, ended by
saying: Really. doctor, I do not know

innumerable efforts to measure and
map the earth with the least possible
error, is the fact that there are places
where the direction Of a plumb line
is not vertical. Irregularities of den

A remarkable instance has been
found in the island of Porto Rico,
where the deviation from the vertical
