Lewis, Of ST. Louis, originated the
idea OF establishing a packet line be-

trips with the Belle of Calhoun this
season, and IL trade warrants the
boat will run regularly next season.
St. Louis has not had regular
packet line to New Orleans since the
Anchor Line discontinued its service,
ten years ago."
The above paragraph is floating
around through the river columns OF
some OF the papers. The idea of
some OF the Belle of Calhoun de-
veloplng trade that has laid DOR
mant for eight or ten years is simply
ridiculous. We Judge the Belle of
Calhoun will carry at most 500 or
500 tons, and II she had a load of

prices. The rivermen that are

ARCADIA

Arcadia is to vote in January on the PROPOSE
ton of taxing itself 30 cents on the 500 and a
poll tax of 81 for the purpose of establishing
a graded school. Presently Arcadia will feel
the need of fire protection, too, and Paducah is
to erect new fire station about Seventeenth
street. Electric street lights and improved
streets and sewers and garbage removal service
and water works are always desirable, especial
ly when typhoid fever breaks out in thickly
settled communities, where wells are used.
Then she will turn with affectonate embrace
toward Paducah. Paducah, too, is somewhat
concerned about unprotected communities ad-
joining, her boundaries, and we cannot under
stand why the annexation should not take place
before the 1910 census. 1t is sure to take place
before the one in 1920 and it would be advan-
tageous for the city to show the growth of pop
ulation in the decade, to which she is entitled
by. the settlement on the west.

ETHICS OF THE PRESS.

Just now the press is concerning itself with
suggestions for remedying the reprehensble
methods of some prominent journals-and let
us pause to call attention to the fact that most
reforms find their true expression first in the
press-even newspaper reforms
Some editors suggest a code of ethics. There
is only one code of ethics for newspapers, and
that is too tell all the truth all the time, and
to go to great pains to ascertain the truth.
Professional codes of ethics are not designed to
establish standard of moral obligation above
that of the average man; but for justification of
professional conduct, which would be con
demned in a business, permitting of less lati-
tude.
This outburst on the part of the press is only
a reaction from the extreme methods of yellow
journalism. And, let us admit, that there ism t
a newspaper of any consequence m the world,
which has not been affected-and for good-by
the spirit of yellow journalism. 1t was revolt
from hide-bound partyism, in the first place,
and as one result there is not big newspaper
in New York or Chicago that ism t independent
in its politics; and the example is proving pop
ular elsewhere.
Yellow journals found that the people en-
joyed their freedom of expression and criti-
cism, their exposures of the rOttenness, which
was once considered no business of respect
able publication, and perforce, other publica-
tions were compelled to follow. 1t was the rev.
dictionary transition of the press to suit the
times. OF course, the thing went too far. Revo-
buttons always go too far. We must settle back;
but we have changed for good and all. The
press has achieved its independence of thought
and action. We don't need any peculiar code
of ethics. They are dangerous and demoraliz
ing. If those professions which have their owl
ethics would dispense with them and adopt the
moral code of ethics, which belongs to all man
kind, they would approach the position OF the
press today, which is nearer the standard OF
the times than any other institution, excepting

brute senses and desires; for every bad habit is
a manifestation of the inherited brute in us,
and every desire of the flesh subdued is vie
tory of mans spiritual nature over the animal,

his own limit, and is placed on honor to observe
lit, small fines for breaches to be paid into the
common fund and used in furthering the
lobjects of the club. The club will furnish sug
gestiOns to the members, who are not bound to
adopt them. For instance it is proposed that
two indulgences in habit a day constitute
1moderation-two smokes, two drinks, etc.

behind this movement. II is significant for one

Little did friends aud loved cnts Of
Mrs. james Younger dream that she
would be separated by death from her
home Sd early in life ant within a
weeks time.
Saturday night, October2, the birth of

to relieve her. Urenic poison set up
and hopes for her recovery then wa
vered, Friday morning at II o'clock
she died.
The funeral was held from the home
Sunday afternoon at 1:30 O'Clock. The
arrangements were kindly conducted by
Mr.. Hannah and loving friends of Mrs.

The Weakest Governor
Kentucky Ever Had.

Governor Wilson has again con-
firmed the general opinion that he is
the weakest Governor the State of
Kentucky has ever honored, when he
sent out that letter inviting open law
lessness and clannish fights. He Of
fers a pardon to the men who kill
their fellow-men in defense of their
lives and property There has al
ways been law in this State-we
suppose the Governor knows about it
that gives man his freedom under
a murder charge when he can prove
self-defense. Why does Gov. Wilson
want to heap kindling on the fire by
coming out and reiterating a state
ment he has formerly made and one
that has been covered by the statutes
for years? For no other reason, we
think, than he showed when he made

people how lawless Kentuckians were.
