Senator Beveridgc.

Senator Beverage delivered a
speech in favor of bis bill in the SEN
ate. He, said in part:
The tariff is fixed by facts; how to
get at these facts is the first question
in the whole tariff problem. Common
sense and experience answer that
question; we should create a body of
experts to find out these facts for us.
These men should be the fittest men
that can be found for this work; they
should give their whole time to this
work and lay before us the result of
their work.
This bill seeks to create such a
commission of experts to find out the
facts upon which congress builds a
tariff and to make a classification of
articles to which congress can plainly
and accurately fix customs duties.
BY this bill the commission, itself,

French Reggie Had Received
and Shipped Nearly All Its
Tobacco From Dycusburg
District.

Manager MERIT, OF the Paducah
Offices of the O'Bryan Warehouse com

bacco priced at that place this year

The Suns information that less than
100 pounds was in the warehouse az
Dycusburg when frod by night riders
was correct. The OBryan company,
which represents the French govern
ment, bought about 10. 000 pounds
OF tobacco in the DyCusburg district
this season and OF this amount 1907
900 had been delivered at Paducah
and packed in hogsheads and was re-
handled here.
The company will not attempt TO
receive the remaining 10000 pounds
OF their purchase. as the expense in
providing a means of handling II
would be too great and will allow the

sell it to other dealers or place It in

The night riders wore black cloth
masks that covered their eyes and
noses. but there were no scarfs nor
other rcgalia to distinguish their Dress

OF them were unmasked, but Groves
did not recognize them. They We're

The story told in The sun yester-

Mrs Bennett was not whipped. She
tried to interfere and was pushed
back.
Mr.. Groves had never Received any

A BAD BUNCH OF BOYS PlNCHED.
Charged With Breathing Into And
Entering Dwellings at fountain
Lake Park.

Last Thursday night two boys Tho
burn Shipley and Orval Fike, commonly
called Rubber, " Lish, the latter an
adopted son of Bud" Lish. were
arrested at a house a mile or two south
Of Loeb Lynn Heights by Deputy Sheriff
Claude Brown, charged with having
broken into and entered a number Of
houses at Mt Lake Park and Loeb
Lynn Heights. The following day
Harry Hanson, the third Of the trio Of
Youngsters implicated in the wholesale
burglary. was arrested and the three
are now in Jail in default Of bond for
their appearance at the June Term Of
the Circuit Court.
As stated in THE REPUBLICAN last
week some thirty houses had been en-
tered at the Park during the past few
months, the crime in many instances
being laid at the door Of a stranger who
made his escape from the clutches Of
two young residents of the Park a few
nights previous who had observed him
coming from one of the vacant houses,
but with the arrest of the three boys
above alluded TO it is believed that the
right parties have been apprehended.
When Deputy Sheriff Brown went to
the Park to arrest Shipley and Lish he
had considerable trouble in locating
them, they having evidently been given
the tip" that an officer was after
them, They We're followed however,
to the home OF the late Lewis Hanson,
two miles south of the Park. When
the officer presented himself at the door
to make the arrest he was met by Lish
who pushed a large Colt't revolver into
his face and demanded of him that he
leave the premises. The Deputy was
not bluffed and made his way into the
dwelling where he found upon a table a
large lot Of ammunition for the gun in
the hands Of Lish, which had probably
been taken from the chamber of the
revolver just before the arrival of the

TO PREVENT TRICK BALLOTS.

Nowhere in the country does such a
condition exist as has long disgraced
the political character Of Maryland the
piecemeal ballot laws, with their
wretched incentives to the preparation
of election outrages. Atno time during
the late campaign did the Democratic
leaders express shame for the trick de-
vices that were openly employed by
that party in the Wilson law counties.
There was some kind of promise made
by the stump speakers that the party
would amend the eXtra-session law in
order to make the ballot practicable
and prevent the counting out of a large
percentage of votes But the results
of the election showed that if the
narrow margin by which the Demo-
Gratis, on the face Of the returns, won
is not to be wiped out, the complicated
ballot and the Wilson law devices plus
restricted franchise must be employed.
A party that depends upon chicanery
and injustice certainly has no real claim
upon the support of the people
Mr.. Pairo, the chairman of the Re
publican steering committee of the
Senate and the House, has put it up"
to the Democrats to give proof of
desire to have fair elections by introduc-
ing a bill to eliminate the trick ballot
and the fake candidate. The bill pro-
vides that the work of the supervisors
of elections in preparing the ballot shall
be public; that the lines between the
names and the groups of names shall
be of prescribed form and color; that
the arbitrary arrangement of names
permitted under the Wilson law shall
be discontinued and the order of the
names be fixed with absolute fairness.
If the Democrats are susceptible to
appeals for honest elections, let them
give their support to this measure that
will do away with election devices that
defeat the will Of the voter and bring
disgrace to the state. But no one for
a moment INDUCES the belief that the
party in power will rise above con-
siderations of road bill with unlimited
graft attached to it and pass such a
measure as that Of Mr. Pairo's. Yet
its passage would purge the ballot laws
of the iniquities that go far toward
making elections in MARYLAND farce.

TO 0EPORT ANARCHISTS.

Secretary of Commerce and Labor
Straus has issued a stringent order to
all commissioners of immigration and
immigrant inspectors to make every
possible effort to gain information from
the local police and from other sources
for the identification of immigrants
who are anarchists or criminals, with
the view to their deportation. Recent
anarchistic crimes and evidences of un-
usual activity by this class of aliens
doubtless prompted this order. About
two weeks ago priest was shot and
killed at his church altar, in Denver,
Col, while celebrating the Holy Sacra-
ment, by an anarchist who was kneel-
ing with other COMMITMENTS and who
received the consecrated wafer from
the man whom he assassinated. A
fouler crime is rarely recorded.
On last Monday an attempt was made
to assassinate Chief of Police Shippy,
of Chicago, by an anarchist. The at
tempt failed but Mr.. Shippy's l5-year-
old son was shot and fatally wounded
and his coachman seriously hurt by
shots fired by the chiefs assailant.
Swift retribution followed the crime in
this case, however, as, after des-
perate struggle, Mr.. Shippy secured a
revolver and fired shot after shot into
his assailant's body, killing him IN
stantly.
The action Of Secretary Straus de
serves ample commentator by all law
abiding citizens. There should be no
room in this country for men who be-
lieve that every man should be a law
unto himself and who antagonize all
government, even though it be based
upon the consent Of the great mass of
the governed. Men who array them
selves against law belong to the crimi-
nal classes and, though all anarchists
may not be actual assassins, they are
always ready to commit murder in the
interest of their dangerous doctrines.
Strenuous efforts should be made.
therefore, to locate all foreigners who
entertain anarchistic views and then
send them out Of the country. The
order Of Secretary Straus is a step in
the right direction and it should not
only be rigidly enforced, but be sup
plemented by such legislation as will
make it most effective in Kidding the
country of the vicious element referred
to.

age. When somebody suggested that
the minority be given representation
on the commission the idea was incon-
tinently fiouted with the statement that
the Democratic party would spend the
$1,000, 600, build the roads and get all
the credit for it.
Governor Crothers appears to see
nothing wrong in putting aside a conf
mission which has already spent several
years in the work Of constructing good
roads and producing good results as far
as it was given money and opportunity.
The Governor seems to see no danger of
political complications if a new commits
sion composed entirely Of Democrats Sc
lected from different sections Of the
State is created and given entire con-
troll of the expenditure Of s., 600, 900. In
fact, Annapolis IS so blind to dangers
in the Benson bill that it looks as if it
had determined not to see them. Bal

SCHOOL BOARD PROCEEDINGS.
Three kormaIs Will Be Conducted
During The Spring.

The Board Of School Commissioners
met Friday last and after disposing Of
routine business, the question Of nor
mails was thoroughly considered and
the following conclusions arrived at:

the following persons in which to con-
duct an eight weeks normal, to begin
April 20 and close June y:
GrantsviIle to P. E. King.
Accident to J. c. Beahn and H. w.
Browning.
Oakland to L. G. Palmer and W. E.
Bishoff.
These sessions will be devoted to a
thoroughdrillin Arithmetic, Geographic,
Grammar and the various other bran
ches taught in the public schools in
which teachers must be prepared in
order to receive certificates.
At the close of the eight weeks SEES
sion the three normals will be merged
into one school in Oakland for three
weeks. This session will be devoted
principally to Methods Of Teaching and
School Management.
Legislation now pending contemplates
longer terms and higher salaries and
necessitates better qualifications on the
part Of teachers. Our teachers must
either go elsewhere to training schools
or must be provided with the ablest
instructors at home To this end the
School Board has engaged Miss L. f.
Phoenix and Prof. T. L. Gibson for the
three weeks session.
Miss Phoenix is graduate of the
Mansfield, pa and the Oswego, On.
" State Normal schools, Oberlin Col
lege and Emmerson School of Oratory
and IS now teaching her fourteenth
year in the Oswego State Normal.

Numbers and Language, with one
period to the entire school in Physical
Culture

his efforts at the county Institutes,
needs no further recommendation. He
will have charge Of the music, devoting
two periods a day to it. He will also
take up the work in English Grammer
and composition in the highest grades.
The education bill now pending pro-
vides that all certificates in the State
must be re-classified. Applications for
certificates or re-classification without
further examination by experienced
teachers who attend the entire eleven
weeks and whose work is satisfactory
to the County Superintendent and the
various instructors will be favorahly
considered by the Board without further
examination.
A uniform rate Of s. tuition will be
charged for the eight weeks session
and the three weeks will be free to all
teachers and prospective teachers.
The faculty in the three weeks session
will be Miss Lydia E. Phoenix, Prof. T.
l.. Gibson and the instructors of the

GOING AHEAD AS IF MARYLAND
WERE NOW A ONE-PARTY STATE.

If the DISTINGUISHING amendment had
received endorsement at the polls, had
run the gauntlet of the United States
Supreme Court, and Maryland were
firmly established as one-party State,
with the Democratic party seated firmly
in the saddle, We could understand read
lily enough the apparent determination
at Annapolis to create, under the APP
pearance of a good-roads commission, a
political machine compared with which
those that have gone before were but
weak and futile instruments. Having
the State under absolute control, the
organization might do pretty much as
it pleased without fear of overthrow.
But the DISTINGUISHING amendment is not
alaw, and many Democrats many lead
ing Democrats are waiting to see what
the party under its new leadership pro-
poses to do, what sort of rule it intends
to set up, before they use their votes to
commit the political destinies of the
State to one party. 1t is bad policy to
get anxious for spoils that appetite is
not restrained, even though indulgence
means danger.
1t requires little knowledge of good
roads building in this country to learn
that it has been a source of prolific
waste. Millions upon millions of dollars
have been expended with insignificant
results-the main trouble being that
politicians directed the expenditure of
the funds. They steal some money, but
the amount is small as compared with
that which they waste and fritter away.
There is no other public work in which
so many opportunities for grating and
for Sinking responsibilities exist. A
contractor with political pull, " over
seers and foremen appointed for ability
to hustle at election time instead of for
their knowledge Of road-building. can
make money fly much faster than dirt.
And to make the prospect of the Ben
son bill with its paid commission and
subordinate officials, look still more dis
concerning, there Is cause to believe that
hostility to the Geological and Economic
Surveys methods of building good roads
comes from contractors who have had
trouble with the commission S engineers.
Certainly no good reason has been as
signed for taking the work out of this
commission hands; and in investigat-
ing such complaints as haye been
brought against it, it is found that
some of them at least are lnitigated by
contractors who do not like the engi-
neers in charge of road work. 1t would
be nice state of affairs if contractors
were allowed to frame up scheme of
good-roads building which was satisfac-
tory to them and spend 5000, 900 of
the States money on it.
1t is impossible Ito believe that this
new salaried commission of seven mem
bers has been fiXed,upon because it of
fers the surest and best scheme for car
rying out the plan of making improved
highways. There are members of the
Legislature who appreciate fully what
it offers in the way of political patron

FIRE At THE BOND MILL.
Flames Destroyed Boarding House
And Consumed $500 in Cash.

Last Sunday evening the boarding
house at the numbering plant Of Messrs.
Dubois & Bond Bros. at Bond. this
county, was entirely consumed by fire
along with much Of its contents. in
GLIDING the clearinghouse keeper s
trunk, which contained his wearing APP
parel and currency amounting to $3.50.
The fire started about six O'Clock
when one of the domestics employed in
the house attempted to light a lamp
with a match the head of which became
detached when she struck it and flew
into Q lace curtain nearby. From the
curtain the flames communicated to the
lining Of the house, which was made Of
a paper substance and within a few
moments the entire structure was a
mass of flames.
Very little Of the furniture on the
first floor Of the building was saved
and none at all located on the second
story. In room on the second floor
the manager Of the boarding house.
James Feuzy, had his trunk, which con
tanned $3.50 in cash, his clothing and
other yaluables, all Of which were con-
sumed.
The loss to the building was $500, and
like amount on the furniture, with
no insurance. Mr.. Feuzy's loss falls
particularly hard upon him The build
ing was owned by Messrs. Dubois and
