PARTY LOYALTY.

Whatever else may be said to the
contrary. II is but a matter OF COM
mon sense to realize that a man who
Is untrue to his political obligations
is apt to be found deficient in many
other personal qualities" says a local
organ, commenting on non-partisan-
ship.
What personal qualities, we
ask? Does II put party loyalty in
the same category with loyalty to
friends and patriotism? Does II
mean to say that citizen who par
ticipates in a party primary for the
very purpose Of saving his party and
his country from ruin and is defeat
ed, is thereby in honor bound Il
share in the destruction OF his coun
try?
We challenge reply to this ques
ton.
In what personal qualities" mus
a man be deficient II he exercises th'
right of a freeman to vote as HI
pleases? We assert that he is sad,
lacking in manhood IL he supports 1
a bad ticket he knows to be wrong

IN THE WORDS OF THE SONG.

| Resumption of operations in thu
| ergenthaler-Horton Basket plant by
company that has money invested
and expects to make of II Legitimate
enterprise, Is one of the brightest
rays of hope that has penetrated the
Paducah industrial situation In
months. There are other things
brewing that are just as substantial
but not yet ready for publicity. The
new concern is not exploiting stock !;
II is perfecting the machines to max,
baskets, and the gentlemen, who are
here now-zat least one OF them
has been hefe before, spending weeks
studying the plant, and he and the
men behind the enterprise know just
what the proposition amounts to.
To the persistent efforts Of those
Paducah men, who stubbornly re-
fused to see the abandoned plants Of
half baked schemes or wholly mer-
etricious enterprises rot and rust or
be sold for junk, much credit Is due
for the reopening of this plant on a
legitimate basis. II is to such men,
and not to its ''hot air merchants"
that a city has to look for its real
development. Commercial and man
ufacturing enterprises that are sub
stantial do not spring up like mush-
rooms. They grow from small be-
ginnings. Profits are a matter of
careful nursing OF opportunities and
outstanding of resources. Paducah
has wasted a lot of breath "hurrah-
ing" the last few years of the flush
times. and several times she has
seemed on the verge of jumping into
fame as second Pittsburgh. Now
Paducah. with the breath partially
knocked out OF her, is sobered ana
can appreciate real money invested
in a real enterprise by real people.
There is a song, noted for its lyric
beauties and humor no more than
the good, hard commonsense tina,
runs through the refrain:
"E-ev'ry liddilbid addedu wotchew
got makes jussa liddilbid more"

THE HORSE LAUGH.

After you have enjoyed a good
laugh at the expense of that police
man who testified before the board
of police and fire commission that
he accepted money extorted from
people for fear of getting the horse

things you have done or left undone
today for fear Of the horse laugh.

and he smiled with the thought Of her,
for soon-perhaps in a few hours-he
would be free TO go to her, his work

them. He walked quite 20 the brink
Of the chasm and laid his hand upon
the iron cable from which swung the

Then the cable under his hand vi

one another down with our "horse
laugh" and ourselves down for the
fear OF it. We stunt our moral de-
velopment and compromise our in
tellect for conventions sake. What
man doesn't know himself in his own
heart as a knave and a coward?
Then why do We laugh at that double
touch of nature--a policeman cow

to acknowledge his cowardice?

The friend OF reform, the true foe
of abuses, is the man who steadily
perseveres in Fighting wrongs, in war
ring against abuses, but whose char
acter and rtaining are such that he
never promises what he cannot per
form, that he always a little more
than makes good what he does prom
Use, and that, while steadily advanc-
ing, he never permits himself to be
led into foolish excuses which would
damage the very cause he champions.
Taft the Right Man.
In Mr. Taft we have a man who
combines all of these qualities to a
degree which no other man In our
public life since the Civil war has sur
passed. To a flaming hatred of in
justice, to a scorn of all that is base
and mean, to a hearty sympathy with
the oppressed. heaunitesiuninterested-
" courage, both moral and physical,
of the very highest type, and kind
ly generosity of nature which makes
him feel that all of his fellow coun-
trymen are in very truth his friends
and brothers; that their interests are
his, and that all his great qualities
are to be spent with lavish freedom
in their service.
The honest man of means, the hon
est and law-abiding business man, can
feel safe in his hands. because of the
very fact that the dishonest man OF
great wealth. the man who swindles
or robs his fellows, would no so much
as dare to defend his evil-doing in
Mr.. Tafts presence. The honest
wagewofker, the honest laboring man
the honest farmer. the honest me
chanic or small trader, or man of
small means, can feel that in a pecu-
liar sense Mr.. Taft will be his repre-
sentative because of the very fact
that he has the same scorn for the
demagogue that he has for the cor
ruptionist, and that would front
threats of personal violence from al
mob with the unquailing and lofting
Indifference with which he would
front the bitter anger OF the wealth
lest and most powerful corporations
Broad though his sympathies are.
there is In him not the slightest tinge
of weakness. No consideration of
personal interest, any more than Of
fear for his personal safety. could
make him swerye a hairs breadth
from the course which he regards as
right and in the interest of the whole
people.
have a peculiar interest In the
success of Mr.. Taft, and in seeing
him backed by a majority In both
houses of congress which will heartily
support his policies. For the last ten
years. while l have been governor of
New York and president, | have been
thrown into the closest intimacy with
him. and he and on every essential
point stood in heartiest agreement
shoulder to shoulder. We have thS
same views as to what is demanded
by the national interest and honor
both within our own borders and az
regards the relations OF this nation
with other nations.
There is no fight for decency and
fair dealing which / have waged IL
which l have not had his heartiest
aid. most effective sympathy and sup
port. and the policies for which ]
stand are his policies as much as
mine.

Roosevelt made public a letter he had

Taft should be elected.
Sycamore Hill, Oyster Bay, n. Y,
Sept. 3, 1908.
Ny Dear Mr.. Kohrs-I have re

most believe in political life.
