their old age. 1t would be difficult to say why
a bookkeeper in any of the banks of Louisville
or credit man in a mercantile house should be
taxed in order that the storekeepers and gaug-
ers, or the clerks in the pension bureau at
Washington, or the clerks in the postoffice of
Louisville, should enjoy a pension, which these
men who pay it will not have unless they pro-
vide it for themselves"
Some people naturally will think the argu-
ment for it trenches dangerously on Socialism;
but no courageous soul should renounce the
truth, because another with whom he dsagrees
on other points, adopts it. The plain theory on
which pensions are recommended is that OF
securing faithful service. The most efficient
of those in the public service will leave it, when
opportunity offers for advancement outside,
and so, the public service suffers. England has
adopted an old age pension; France plans pen
sions for industrial and agricultural workers;
railroads in the United States have a pension
system; Louisville, where the Post is published,
has fire and police pension system. This gov
eminent pensions soldiers, who, indeed, were
doing nothing more than citizens duty in re-
spending to the call to arms.
The tax on the "bookkeepers" will not be
any heavier than without the pension, and the
adoption of the system as TO government en-
poyes speedily will be initiated by independ-
ent concerns. The world is approaching differ
ent standards: cooperation is gradually elbow
ing out competition; life is becoming, instead
of fight, pull all together 1t has been the
rule that the men in a position to fix their own
salaries take all they want, and the men who
can t take what they can get. The poor house,
dishonesty or self-denial present themselves
for choice, in an age which flaunts luxury in
the face of poverty and tempts the senses with
easily accessible comforts.
We are living in the good year 1909; not in
70; and we are living just for little while to-
gether. Dye mindf

The experience of King Gustaf, of Sweden,

While the message is conservative
in language, 1t is clear. and clean
cut and gives assurance that the
Roosevelt policies have not been
abandoned and that the pledges of
the platform and campaign of 1908
are to be lived up to in performance.
The president indicates that he has
a well-defined program Of legislation
that he will press upon congress,
and it is said In Washington that he
hopes to hold the Republican pro-
gressives and the reactionaries well
enough in hand to secure the pas
sage of measures that will give force
and effect to the sentiments popular
lied by the Roosevelt administra-
tion.

gives a general review of conditions.
including foreign relations and mat
ters pertaining thereto. and the vari1
Gus departments of the government.
but he withholds discussion which
will require the attention Of con-
gress. for special messages ON the
several subjects. This is a wiser
plan than that of attempting to pre-
sent all these matters in one annual
message. IL avoids making the
message a much too yoluminous doe
ument. and will enable the president
to treat more specifically and fully
the different questions when they
are presented.

A PUBLIC BENEFIT.
Paducah People Greatly Interested
In the Generous Offer OF w. Il.
Mcpherson.

The people have already demon
strated that they would rather trust
man who is naturally honest than
one who Is honest only because he
had to be.
w b. Mcpherson has a firmly es-
tabllshed reputation for square deal
ing and sterling honesty. When he
told the people that Rexall Remedies
are the puTest and most dependable
medicines that II is possible for mod
and science to produce, and that they
would tell the public what each one
OF these 800 or more remedies con-
tanned, and that they sold Rexall
Remedies on their personal guaran-
tee that they would give entire sat
isfaction or they would not cost the
user single cent, they were be-
lieved.
Ever since this announcement w
u. McPherson's store has been large
ly patronized by people buying Rex
all Remedies. all of which proves
that this store has the confidence of
the people and that honesty is the
best policy.
There is no "cure-all'' among the
Rexall Remedies. There are differ
ent and neutrality-suspicious. each one
devised for a certain human ailment
or class of ailments closely allied
For instance Rexall Dyspepsia Tab
lets are recommended for the posi-
tive relief of stomach irritation, indi-
gestion, flatulency and dyspepsia
They are rich In Bismuth-Subnitrate
Pepsin and Carminatives. They are
prepared by special processes which
perfect and enhance the great rene
dial value OF these well-known med
icinal agents. This remedy sells for
25 cents, so cents and 500 per
package, Every one suffering from
stomach disorder should try Rexall
Dyspepsia Tablets. inasmuch as they
cost nothing II they do not satisfy.
Remember, w. b McPherson's
store IL the only store In Paducah
where these remedies may be OBJ
tanned. and every one In need OF
medicine Is urged TO investigate and
take advantage of the frank and gen.
erous manner In which they are

II is typical of Judge Taft. 1t IL
conservative, thoughtful. clearly ex-
pressed. II strikes out no new line
of thought; emphasizes no novel
policy. IL gives indications Of the
presidents agreement with the reac-
tionary, rather than of his sympathy
with the insurgent forces. in the
Republican party. II VIII be searched
in vain for any striking enunciation
of endorsement of the policies inaug-
urated by President Roosevelt; yet
II will be searched equally in vain

dangers the government has to over
come.

President Taft has said nothing
that will disappoint HIS friends. He
has said much that will please them.
There Is no comfort here for the re-
dictionaries; there Is some encourage
ment for the progressive element In
the party When he takes congress
into his confidence on topics for
which fuller treatment is promised
there will be better opportunity to
judge how far the president is pre-
pared to go in giving effect TO the
policies that he voluntarily inherited
from his predecessor. We await this
further expression OF his views with
out fear that II will fail to Justify the
OF the people.

Press Comment
on the Message
Louisville Post.

There is nothing in the message
that will arouse either vehement OPP
position or enthusiastic support. IL
is business document, written in
the tone of a business man. 1t is
calm, cautious and conservative. Yet
it presents certain propositions that
can only be carried through con-
gress after careful consideration,
long debate and a change of senti-
ment.
The matters about which the pub
lie is most concerned at this time
that is, amendments to the inter-
state commerce act and amendments
to the Sherman antitrust act-the
president postpones to a more con-
venient season.

somewhere about the presidents

Here is the passage about postal
savings banks. IL is Mr.. Aldrich's
idea, il will be remembered. that
postal savings banks should be post
poned until our new scheme of cur
rency and banking Is perfected. II
does not strike the president that
way at all. Similarly there is no re-
treat on the subject of Interstate
commerce legislation or the state
hood bill, and he asks admission of
Arizona and New Mexico just as IL
Mr.. Aldrieh had never announced
that four more progressive senator's
would be an unthinkable menace to
his ancient solitary reign over our
house of lords. There is a note of
independence, II not defiance. also.
in Mr.. Taft's discussion of his tariff
board. Equally reassuring is the
way he dispels the alarm that has
been pumped up over the maximum
and minimum clause of the Payne
bill.
