VOICE OF THE PEOPLE.
MFR. Ewing Protests.


To The Evening Sun:
Information has been received from
an authentic source at Washington
that opponents to the Hon. A. o.
Stanley's amendment to the tarsff
bill now pending (which has fsc It's
purpose the removal OF the TX cents
tax on raw leaf tobaccol have intro
duced to the senate Quantities and
the public some mar named Ewing
as opposed to the removal Of this
tax and are actively scattering broad
cast the report that Felix G. Ewing,
the general masager of the Planters
Protective association is in Washing
ton city fighting the removal Of this
tax. Such IN infamous fraud cannot
but have NE effect of a boomerang
upon those who attempted its perpet-
ration and TO I'll the minds OF honest
men with disgust as soon as the fact
is ascertained.
II is well known that the associa-
ton, with which Mr. Ewing is con-
nected and originated, has at all
times kept up the fight for the re-
peal OF this tax through its represent
atives in the house and senate. this
being the third time 1t has passed
the lower house. Hon A. o. Stanley
has been indefatigable in his efforts
in behalftof his constituent members
of this association, and the removal
OF this tax has been one of the three
departments into which the work OF
the association has been divided
One department was the removal
of this tax: another was to encourage
the restraint of the American Tobac-
co company in its depredations upon
the liberties OF the people through
the process Of the federal court, and
third was to maintain a fair price
by organization.
The association planters have al
ways stressed the injustice OF this tax
because Il is the only agricultural
product in the United States which
is taxed in the raw state, and second

SOME STORIES
AROUND TOWN

Mr.. John T. Barkley, of Troy,
Tenn. and SON Frank Barley Of Dyer
Tenn, are visiting Mr.. w. Z. Bark
ley, of 161l Monroe street. Mr.. John
#. Barkley's son. Mr.. J. T. Barley
is a Confederate veteran. and during
the war he fought all around in this
vicinity under General Forrest. This
is his first visit to Paducah since war
times. Mr.. Barley is a man &c
years old and very active. He says
that he never intends to get old. He
is a civil officer in the county in
which he lives in Tennessee.
They we're in the grand stand at
the races yesterday and he was keep
ing the record on a score card. She
was greatly interested, though not
entirely enlightened as to the mean
ing of it all. When he went down to
get some dope" he left the score
card in her hand, and presently the
megaphone from the judges stand
announced "time 1920 fiat"
She turned a mystified countenance
to a young lady behind her.
what does '2:2O fiat mean?" she
inquired.
"why, it means no fractions" was
the reply.
She said thank you" and returned
to the contemplation of her card.
she made no marks on II, and
again she turned and asked:
How do you write it?"
LET me show you" kindly agreed
the young lady on the tier above, and
accepting the proffered card and PEN
ell, the young lady made some marks
on the card and handed it back.
She took it back and looked at it
intently a moment, and then her face
beamed with the light Of newly ac-
quired knowledge.

thing in the tier above. "if | hadn't

Anyone who associates with spirits
has to be just as careful as he is OF
his human company. One Paducah
gentleman is keenly interested in
planchette, but he is yrieved just now
because his favorite board has fallen
into bad company. II happened this
way. He was working with II the
other night, when planchette spelled
out:
General Howard says General
Longstreet is in trouble and wants
help. He is in hell"
Then it proceeded: ..
General Longstreet says for Cen
eral Howard to go to H. He doesn I
need his help"
This all came out in nice company,
and the demonstration was greatly an
noyed. because some of those present
thought 1t was mental telepathy and
others attributed it to natural causes.
such as the fingers obeying the mind;
but he said no. he had neither
thought of the two famous generals
nor OF their possible abiding place.
He says it is the influence OF evil
spirits on planchette, and unless it
can mend its ways and quit talking
so rough he will have to desist.

past year, there are sixty-fve in num-
Der. Under the law the parties holding
these licenses are compelled to pub
lish them in each Of the official news
papers of the county for three success
sive weeks. Many of the holders of
these licenses have complied with the
law as to publishing, but several have
not We notice in the list the names
Of some Edmore parties who hold
government licenses and yet they have
j never complied with the law as to pub
Listing them. There are also other par
ties along this line and in different
parts of the county who are holding
government licenses and who have not
published them according to law. We
believe it is the duty of the states at
torney to see that the law is complied
with in this respect, and now that he
has the list before him we hope that
