THE p. e. n. FRANCHISE

Without going into the merits OF
the controversy as to whether or no
the Paducah & Northern railroad
should enter the city over the route
proposed in the franchise offered for
adoption, The Sun wishes to make
clear one point at least. There has
been anything but an effort 10 slip or
rush that franchise through the gen.
eral council. A blue print of the
route was hung in Mayor Smiths
outer Office some six weeks ago. All
that time the local papers outlined the
route and the purpose of the company,
and invited citizens to visit the may
or's Office and inspect the route.
II is difficult fo~ a railroad to en-
ter Paducah, for two reasons. The
city has grown in all directions, so
that residence sections have to be
traversed whatsoever route is chosen.
and the Illinois Central having entered
Paducah, while it was yet a village
has threaded the city with its main
tracks and spurs. 1t has a complete
loop, and it is not to the advantage
OF any other railroad to touch the
edge OF Paducah, if it cannot get in
and out of the Illinois Central loop to
reach the shippers.
Naturally the property owners
along the proposed route do not desire
the railroad to enter over the streets
designated. The promoters recognize
THIS difficulty in the way and employed
an expert engineer, who mapped out o
route he considersd most practicable
and satisfactory from railroad
mans point of view. having considera-
ton he claimed to the least possible
damage to private property. They
are abiding strictly by his decision,
thus endeavoring TO avoid friction.
The rights of the property owners. of
course, merit consideration, and that
Is matter well within the discretion
OF the members of the general coun-
ell, having due regard for the fact
that railroads cannot enter Paducah
by any other route without encoun-
terlng objections from some source.
Two things must be considered, if we
desire the railroad the route causing
the least damage and Inconvenience
TO property owners, and the one that
viii be acceptable TO the railroad.
Paducah will benefit from the rail
road more than the railroad will from
Paducah.
AS long as a member of the general
council is dictated IN his course by
only these reasonable considerations,
he is performing a duty he owes to
the people he represents, but If he be-
comes captious in his obstruction OF
plans for attracting railroads from
the north to Paducah, he may throw
himself under suspicion of serving in
terests other than the rights OF the
property owners OF the city.

WHO SHALL CONTROL

One week from today the Republi-
cans of McCrecken county will meet
in convention at the McCracken coun-
ty court house to choose delegates 10
the state convention and to reorganize
the county committee. II Is an i'm
portant matter always; but unusually
important this year; because a regis
tered Democrat, Adolph We'll, the
wholesale whisky dealer, is at the
head of an organization, working I'M
der the banner of Vice President Fair
banks TO gain control of the party
We do not know whether Mr.. We'll Is
seeking to capture the Republican
party in McCracken county in the
name of whisky or in the name of
Democracy, or whether he has become
so enamored of the name of Fair.
banks. that he is turning his back on
his own party temporarily. What,
ever his motive in becoming a Repub.
lican, IT Ill becomes Mr.. We'll to at
tempt to assume the role of dictator
50 soon after his conversion. He
should work as private for little
time until he has become accustomed
to Republican livery.
Another thing the party must look
out for is the importation of tie hands
from Joppa and even as high up thC
river as Vice-President Fairbanks
own state, to dictate to the Republi'
cans of McCracken county. The
high-handed proceedings, which al
most precipitated riot at the conven
ton March 8, when an attempt wal
made to drag the county chairman of
the court house steps into the hand:
OF brawny tic carriers, should BIZ
forestalled by precautions against th'
admission of such characters into th'
convention.
Neither Democrats nor Illinois til
hands should be allowed any voice II
the organization of this county TO-
the next four years, nor should thes'
elements be permitted to carry GU
any sort of plot by violence to stiff
the expression of McCracken county
Republicans in their choice for presi
dent of the United States.

ANOTHER APoLoGIsT.

John l.. Smith. editor and repre-
sentative from Lyon county, presents
a long article over his own signature
In the Louisville Evening Post, de-
Tending Lyon county against the
reputation, which the night riders
have given her; and while it only
convinces the reader that Lyon eoun-
ty is coming in for share of noto-
riety that greatly discredits her con-
stituted: authority, 1t also casts q ain
The Paducah evening sun. [volume] (Paducah, Ky.) 1906-1929, 1908-04-18

lister light on the situation In that sec
ton, as reflected By the attitude Of
Mr.. smith, He and his newspaper
no doubt, attempt to keep on the
popular side. Certainly the editor
politician does not attempt to mould
and guide public opinion; else Mr.
Smith would be IN the unpleasant
position. either of having misguided
the sentiment of his people, or utterly
failed TO influence them.
Like all men. who try to follow
public sentiment, Mr. Smith has been
all ears and eyes for the present
with no prophetic insight and no re-
gard for historical precedent. He
has heard the noise of hoof beats in
the night and seen the glare of the
burning tobacco barns. He lmagines
that the silent, intimidated people of
Lyon county and trembling officials
are giving sympathetic acquiescence
to the deeds of lawlessness.
Listen to his apology for the night
riders:
more strenuous efforts to appre-
bend Regulators might have been put
forth but for the fact that their work
has been appauded by many who
knew of the bad conduct of some of
those visited, and the salutary re-
suits effected by the visits. Even the
Regulators are not all bad men, for
they visit their punishment on some
lawless characters who seem to be
immune from prosecution and thus
merit the approval of some who
would not themselves engage in the
work"
Let US not forget II was hoodlums
from Lyon county, who invaded Mar
shall county and murdered two de-
fenseless negroes-one an old man,
the other an infant girl Lyon and
Trigg county citizens whipped a
police magistrate and ten other peo-
pie at Eddyville. and the county Judge
and sheriff were forced to stay at
their homes, while the mob worked
its wicked will.
Ii was a Lyon county mob that
tore old Henry Bennett from the pres
ence of his sick boy and whipped him
with thorn sticks until the blood
flowed, and burned two warehouses
in Dycusburg. And Mr.. Smith COM
mends the "salutary results effected
by the visits"
1t is strange that men, considered
enough to edit newspapers.
are not aware that every unholy, I'M
lawful thing, everything not in tune
with the harmony of the universe, ha
contained the cause of its own disso-
luton. Doesn't that sort of man
know that If lawlessness and absolute
disregard of the personal rights and
liberties of others can prevail here,
this government can not last? This
government and state are founded on
aw, and if the law cannot be en-
forced for the protection of people.
hen those people must defend them
selves and anarchy is the result. IT.
Mr.. Smith thinks this government
and this state, in the making of1aws
Of which he has the honor of particf-
1ating, will continue to exist, he
must realize that lawlessness must
ease.
The officers of the law have been
embarrassed in their efforts
o run down the outlaws by such
riflers with public opinion.
We should be ashamed of our
COUNTRY. of our people and of our
elves, If We did not believe that they
ire for law and order and justice.
Representative Smith would show
more home pride and loyalty to his
'eople by aiding in purging the eoun.
y Of its lawlessness than by attempt
ng TO conceal the condition.

Every woman has so much PAIN work
and worry in life that any needless daily
suffering from backache, headache, diz-
illness, languor or other kidney ills is
unfortunate indeed.
Doans Kidney Pills have brought new
life, health and strength to thousands OF
women afflicted in this way by curing the
kidneys. If you don't just understand
your condition, don't forget that it may
be the kidneys.
Women easily fall victim to kidney ills.
The combining work a woman does, the
tight, heavy clothing she wears, the con-
slant bending, reaching and lifting of
homework, the cares of bringing up chill
dren, are all trying. Any fever, cold,
chill or strain may weaken the kidneys
and set up congestion, with backache ard

another phase of the prohibition law to
handle yesterday when three men ar
rested in a raid on the Union club were
found guilty by him and fined 500 and
sentenced to three months of hard labor.
The men were arrested some time
ago and tried before Judge Feagin. who
fined them $3.50. They appealed to the
criminal court and argued that they were
simply members of the club and had
taken no part in any violation of the pro-
hibition laws If there had been any.
Judge Howe ruled, however that men
arrested in a place where large quanti-
ties were stored were violating the law.
The three men were w D. Bufford.
Daniel Ryan and Thomas Davenport. All
three gave notice of appeal to the SUI
preme court, Ryan and Davenport maxi

Three negroes arrested in the same raid
and also fined $3.50 each were turned loose
by Judge Howe. The negroes were
