"coNvENTIoNITIs. +"

No, The Sun has not convention
it's; but the Democratic press of
the Second senatorial district seems
to be afflicted with II in epidemic
form. Here are two new cases.
The Carlisle County News says:
The result of that Paducah nomin-
alton is not at all satisfactory to the
rank and file of the Democratic
party in the Second senatorial dis
trict, and mutterings against the
methods adopted can be heard on all
sides. UnQuestionably il was a con-
test in which the wishes of the peo-
pie we're cast aside and the will of
the politicians obeyed. AS between
Barry and Eaton where is there one
man in Carlisle county who consci-
entiously believes that the latter
would have carried it in a primary?
Yet Mr.. Eaton was declared the
nominee, and while we believe he
will be elected, his majority will be
far below normal. va
People are FOOLS" says the Arl-
ington Courier. I'VE get some crazy
idea into our heads and hold to it
like a niger to a superstition. We
let people rob us and then tell 'em
we like IL. We let a handful of
emery, dirty scheming rascals take
our rights as citizens and then
pledge our support to them. News
papers are more than all other forces

nomination of man. and yet the in
slant he comes out winner as a re-
suit of his Infamous dealing they
flop over and lie about what a clean
convention" Unanimously elected
by the people" If any man dares
say he don't like being robbed then
he's a bolter and a traitor. The
people are determined to have a say
in the management of the country.
II we could and would forget party
obligations for few years and
send the hoodlums and the buns
who have our party In control back
to eat their bread in the sweat of
their brows. we might retrieve our
democracy and rid the grand old
Jefferson doctrine of the terrible
load of scabs and scalawags. Dem
ocracy must change her course or
she'll be buried so deep in the
ciinkers of perdition the devil him
self won't admit his membership
Respectfully dedicated to the Padu-
cab News-Democrat and other West
yellow dog Democratic
papers who are clamoring for the
amorous affections of a gang of un-
principled booze-fghting politicians
by tainting their news columns with
flattering reports OF a convention.

DIR. Motifs letter arouses a storm
OF Protest. Sticks stoutfy to state
ment. Offers TO put up money TO
back his opinion.
In a recent issue of this paper DR..
Mott, whose fame Is a matter OF ma
tional recognition, stated that there
was no cure for badness. An opin-
ion which is evidently not shared by
all. otherwise the existence OF numer-
GUS concerns that advertise to cure
badness. to put hair on a billiard
ball, etc, would be imperilled. What
DR.. Mott did state. as reference to the
issue containing his statements will
corroborate. was that he had never
seen in all of the thousands OF cases
which have passed under his notice,
one instance where the disease Of
badness had been cured. But he did
state as well that he cheerfully ad-
mitted that there were remedies that
would restore gray hair to the color
of youth. and that there were Hair
TONES which would encourage the
growth OF hair, cure dandruff and the
ordinary diseases of the scalp, he re-
ferred particularly to Q-Ban Hair Re
storer and Q-Ban Hair Tonic. DR..
Mott states that he will give to any
charitable institution named 81 900
on receipt OF an authentic proof show
ing that hair has ever been put on a
bald head where the roots were dead.
Since his last statement the druggists
have in general laid in supply of
Q-Ban Hair Restorer and Tonic. Any
one who wants TO WIN the 81 900
that the doctor offers, may send a
letter to Q. b. Dept, Memphis, Tenn.
He states. and any druggist will in
dorse the statement, to the effect II
six bottles OF Q-Ban Hair Restorer
fails in a single Instance to change
gray hair to a natural color. that If
the patient has used six bottles and
the result is not as claimed. a letter
written to DIT. Mott will bring back
the money expended, and that IL a.
six-bottle lot OF the tonic don't in
crease the growth and strength Of the
hair, cleanse and put the scalp in
good condition. money will also be
returned. You know your druggist
ask him. w. B. Mcpherson sells and
recommends these preparations. nj
you are gray haired or partly gray he
will give you the first package OF
Hair Restorer free. Simply call and

The News-Democrat. for an obvi-
GUS purpose, misquoted The Sun this
morning. The Sun never said Hiram
smedley is either a drunkard or a
gambler. We have never said that
he is a defaulter of forger. That is
TO be proven. The Sun did say,
however. that the people of Nc
Cracker county should not elect a
drunkard or gambler TO that Office.
as they are OF the class most likely
to be tempted to steal. The Sun is
talking of the future. not the past.
What that has to do with the prohi-
bition question we are at loss to I'M
derstand, though it might have much
TO do with the conduct of fiscal af-
fairs in McCracken county.

CAIRoITEs URGED
Insure Building of Kentucky a Ohio
River Road.

J. ]. Freundlich, OF the Kentucky
& Ohio River Electric railway, was
in the city yesterday coming from
Chicago where he had been to confer
with the financial hackers of the
proposition, to secure an extension
of time for placing The 100000
bonds with the people along the line.
says the Bulletin. 1t appears that
the financial hackers OF the project
require this in order to give the road
local favor. before they will agree to
put up the other $500. 900 needed
TO build and equip the road. The
time fixed for getting the 100000
subscribed will soon expire and Mr..
Freundlich felt that an extension
would be necessary. and he secured
il, though at some cost.
The local committee. consisting of
c. S. Carey, Chas. Feuchter, Mayor
Parsons and w. ]. Johnston had not
made much Roadway in securing sub
scriptions to the $4,000 allotted TO
Cairo, Mr.. Carey alone having had
time to go out. The latter was out
Of the city yesterday and Mr..
Freundlich held a conference with
other members of the committee. and
with directors Of the commercial
club. at which 1t was decided to
make an earnest effort to induce
people of Cairo to do their part to-
ward this very important enterprise
for Cairo.

II any of the foregoing questions

IL none of the questions can be
answered in the affirmative, the
whole scheme of a duty, direct or
countervailing. is fraud and "a
gouge. and the Republican congress

petroleum and permit the free i'm

the petroleum deposits of this coun-
try, reducing the price and dis
couraging the extravagant use of il.
II requires no argument to convince
anyone. that the consumer will be
benefited by the reduction in the
price, and we are positive that no
wage scale will be affected by the
reduction.
The time has arrived when the
buncombe is about all out of the
protective tariff, and only the orig
inal features: protection to the
wage scale and encourage
ment of home industry are left TO
consideration. There are some old
time high tariff congressman and
senator's, representing rock-ribbed
districts. for whose death we may
have to wait patiently in order to
secure absolutely fair treatment of
the subject, but even death comes.
