ANOTHER rNsuRGENT.

Senator Bradley has kept his
pledge made to the people OF Ken
lucky, that he would speak and work
against the six cent revenue tax on
the domestic sale Of tobacco. His
speech in the senate yesterday was a
vigorous one. and coming from the
camp OF Protection counts for more
than a shot from the free trade side
of the house-or corner of the house.
as 1t is since the sugar and lumber
Democrats openly Joined the high
tariff crowd.
The purpose Of the repeal OF the
six cent tax on the sale of tobacco is
to permit the planters to sell their
product as they please to whomsoeyer
they please, just as farmers are al
lowed to sell all their other products.
The repeal is meant to affect only
the producer, and not permit any one,
other than the grower OF the partlcu-
lar tobacco he offers. to sell It.
We have little hope OF the measure
passing the senate. Aldrich is guard
ing the interests Of the American To-
bacco company and the other allied
combines; but it is a great day for
the American consumers when Re
publican senators are not afraid to
lift their voices in protest against the
aggressions Of the entrenehed powers,
when the Republican press of the
country says nothing to them Of party
loyalty, apd by their courage they
force the high tariff Democrats into
the open, where they can be seen and
judged by their constituents. We ex-
Dect to see the Republican insurgents
grow in power, and new faces to null
tiply on the Democratic side of the
senate chamber.

tion Of the burden The system may
be wrong. but it is not more wrong
than the method Of applying it. The
small real estate owner has no means
of escape, IL he should desire one;
but the unfair assessment and the
loopholes for others to wriggle past
the assessor. leave the kind Of prop
erty. which cannot escape. to bear an
unfair proportion 1t costs just so
much to run the city, county and
state. That money must be raised
somehow. If the taxing system is
fair and the equitablely enforced,
then all forms of property will bear
the minimum burden; but IL part es-
capes, its share is apportioned among
all the rest.
Tax reform is not confined to Ken
lucky. 1t is a national question. In
telligence and honesty have been too
long divorced from assessment and
taxation. as well as other public

SOME STORIES

"Shine," the gloss of whose blacl
countenance furnishes the excuse foi
his nickname, has just returned from
a short season as "razorback" with {

canvas and to carry the heavy
things from the train to the lot.

to the car and ride on to the next
stand. where he performs the same
rites over again. Thus IL may be
seen that "shine" was a very Inn

snatched moments OF unconscious

Shine found the ground soft, be-
cause it rained on him most of the
time. But that didn't prevent his
sleeping. The only thing that inter-
fered with Shines" sleeping was
the boss canvasman.

TAX DoDcrNc

While we suspect that the tax sys-
TEN of Kentucky needs reforming,
since other states having the same
system, are planning to change, we
do not entirely agree with Mr.. W. A.
Robinson, Of r Louisville. that ''the
present system of securing revenue
causes men z lie and 10 resort to all
kinds Of tricks TO dvoid as far as
possible the paymentof taxes" We
are inclined % fhe opinion that the
man. who seeksto avoid mis- taxes by
making false returns. is just natural

has little to do with IL.

DUNs REVIEW.
Dun's Weekly Review

New York. May 2s.-Progress
slow but constant, is again the record
OF the week. The growth of bust
ness confidence is indeed more not
able than the increase in the volume
of trade, but the revival in iron and
steel is of such remarkable dimens-
ions as. to justify the most hopeful
outlook for the entire Industrial and
mercantile situation has soon as the
tariff agitation Is out of the way.
The period OF crop uncertainty is.
however, before us. but II is signifi-
cant that. Notwithstanding the late
ness of spring. which has interfered
not little with certain lines of mer-
chandise. and particularly with retail
distribution. the weather conditions
for crops are reported favorable and
steadily improving. oiit
In the primary dry goods market a
better tone is manifest. although the
level of raw material compels manu-
facturers 20 demand a higher level OF
prices than the buyers are as yet will
ing to pay. Western jobbers report
better business for fall merchandise.
In the wooden goods division dupll-
cate orders are coming in slowly.
owing to the radical advance. and at
tention is now concentrated on the
coming season and the prices which
II will be necessary to ask on spring
goods. All domestic hide markets
are dull but the entire situation is
FIRM. with no further tendency to-.
ward an advance In prices.

THE SPECTATOR.
Weekly Comments on Things
About Town.


An article in the Friday issue of
The Sun is almost startling in the
Figures II quotes as to the extent Of
the moving picture craze among us.
Americans go through their fads and
crazes with about the same high
pressure as everything else they at
tempt; but 1t is doubtful IL there has
been a fad that has assumed so large
proportions, or doomed so great on
the financial horizon as has this one.
An estimated attendance of four mil
lion people each day means an ex-
Denditure of $500, OO'0 for each day
in the year not counting Sundays for
this form Of amusement. AS a con-
sequence 1t has come to the place
when the question of the character
of the pictures shown may become
either menace to our generation. or
may become means OF enlighten-
ment and education. But the syndi-
cate controlling this amusement will
give the public exactly the kind of
picture that the public desires and
nothing more. IL we are content
with the blood and thunder kind. the
portrayal of crimes, the picturing of
vice, then they will continue to give
us such.-but II instead of condemn
ing the thing wholesale we demand
that II give us the best rather than
the worst. or even the mediocre. this
enterprise may become
factor of really educational value. !
Everyone in Paducah can help In the
process by simply abstain
ing from any show which insists. on
still exhibiting any but the best class
of pictures. For the sake of our chill
dren let us take an interest in this
question.
To even discuss anything connect
ed with death and burial, is to lay
ones self open to misapprehension,
and to criticise, seems TO be like des-
ecration. But The Spectator, in all
would like to utter a protest
against the almost universal practice
Of Sunday funerals. There are many
legitimate things that seemingly |
speak in their favor. but on the other
hand. are there not more things
against the practice,-for practice It
has become. Now that the summer
weather is with us, the cemetery is
more and more a place where people
resort in large numbers on Sunday
afternoons. Whether this is due to
mere morbid curiosity. or simply to
the absence Of any park, we are not
able to say But the result is that
there can no longer be a funeral on
Sunday without a crowd Of disinter-
ested and often intrusive spectators,
people who have been observed tol
rush pell nell from one part of the
cemetery to another as one funeral
rortege after another arrives. Thus
that which should be the most solemn
Of family affairs has become almost a
show for the curious and morbid. As
long as the cemetery is public prop
erty. IT, must be open to all, and the
Dnly remedy for the evil is the alb
from funerals on that day,
except in cases of unavoidable ne
,essity.
II we must have Sunday funerals,
hen why cannot the common council
" the city pass an ordinance restrict
ng admission to the cemetery on
sunday to lot owners, showing their
icket at the gate. This practice OBJ
aims in nearly every city OF any size
n the land and goes far to lessen the
wi. though even this cannot abate it
