Wguratively holding aloft the ten
commandments. Rev. Mr.. Sunday
pointed to them and directed the 1000
people who were in his congregation to
steer their lives by them or they would
go to he'll. Using arguments in their
favor, criticism and invective for those
who are living in defiance of those
fundamental and ancient laws Of God,
disregard them, and urged and plead
ed with them to accept them as the
guide for their lives and to repent and
turn to God.
His sermon was powerful in the ex-
treme, and 1t seemed to strike a re-
sponsive cord in his audience. AS he
closed he asked all who had broken
Gods commandments to rise to their
feet, II they were sorry that they had
done so. Practically the entire audience
stood up.

Using the strongest Of invectives,
and the plainest of plain speech, he

Took Double Text.
Rev. Mr. Sunday took double text
which. in addition to the ten COM
mandments. was part Of the twenty
seventh verse Of the fifth chapter Of
Daniel. Thou art weighed in the ball
ance and found wanting" Using this
as the keystone Of his sermon arch he
builded about 1t the commandments
one by one.
He opened his sermon by telling CT
the feast Of Belshazzar. and how, dur
ing the drunken revelry, the hand Of
God wrote upon the walls Of the ban
quet hall the prophecy Of the doom OF
the kingdom, which was followed by
the Medes and Persians capturing the
city and the Kingdom and Staying
Belshazzar. And part Of the sentence
which was written upon the wall and
translated by Daniel was Thou art
weighed In the balance and found
wanting. Te told how Belshazzar had
become puffed up In his exalted sta
tion and 10 his wickedness. and how
sin and wickedness was rampant thru
the kingdom. HeN painted a dramatic
picture of the scene Of the feast and

Downward Revision.
Washington, May THE session Of
the senate was begun today with a
speech by Senator Clapp, of Minneso-
ia, who said the promise of the repub-
lican party was that the tariff should
be revised downward, and the people
understood we were to have revision
downward. If congress should fail now
to lower tariff rates, the democratic
party would be put in position to so
revise 1t two years hence. He did not
wish to use threats. but merely to tell
the truth.
"The American people," he added,
"have determined upon this revision
downward and anything else will dis
appoint them"

MIR. EWING DENIES.

Felix Ewing in another column on
this page denounces as false the
statement in Washington dispatches
to this paper that he was present,
fighting the repeal of the six-cent in
ternational revenue tax on tobacco.
We cheerfully publish Mr.. Ewing's
denial. We, of course, do not know
the source from which the statement
emanated; but as Mr.. Ewing was in
Tennessee at the time, we accept his
alibi and assent to the falsehood of
the dispatch. As to the merits of the
controversy, we are not prepared TO
agree that the repeal will be an un-
alleged blessing to the farmer. We
observe that MIR. Aldricn, represent
alive of the tobacco trust, is not OPP
posing the repeal, while the indie
pendent competitors of the trust are
fighting it. 1t would not be advan-
tageous to the farmer TO inJure the
trusts competitors.

Work on this section OF the road is
expected to begin at once. The plans
contemplate the building of double
track bridge across the Ohio river
at Metroolis. The extension to Pa
ducah will be about twelve miles in
length and the distance from Padu-
cab to the Tennessee state line
would be approximately forty-fiye
miles.
The project is of importance to
Kentucky and the south. 1t would
add materially to Kentucky's rail-
way mileage and the building of an
other bridge across the Ohio river
would bring in a handsome revenue
to the state treasury. The road
would be of Unreasonable benefit to
Paducah, which long has felt the
want of additional railroad outlets
to the north.
The building of the Panama ,canal
is likely to attract the attention of
several OF the large railway systems
of the north and to bring about ex-
tensions to southern territory. Ken
lucky, by reason of her geographical
position, is likely to profit by some
of these extensions. Having re-
sources and prosperous cities that in
themselves present many induce
ments to capital. there is every reas-
on to believe that the state will
share bounteously in the future rail-
way development of the south.
The Burlington seems to be the
first big system to the north of us
to enter upon a definite plan for a
southern branch with a view to Pan
anna canal business. II is to be
hoped that others will take advant-
age of the opportunity to aid and
participate in the prosperity of the
southern states and, incidentally, TO
become better acquainted with Ken
lucky.

than 1t is a law. which forbids the
planter from selling tobacco other
wise, than by his own hand, without
the imposition of this tax.
A planter can travel and peddle
his own tobacco crude, but his SON
OF his wife or clerk could not do 1t
for him.
The privilege is therefore practical
ly cut out. because in his own coun-
try everybody has tobacco like him
self. and he cannot peddle il successV
fully there. He cannot stay at home
and make the crop and go on to dist
ant states to peddle it, therefore his
opportunities are so greatly restrict
ed as to practically ruin the POSSIBLE
ity of his making success OF It.
The planter remembers that he
can appoint a power of attorney to do
almost anything else for him; to sign
a check or even a deed to land Is not
unusual, therefore he feels very
keeuly the injustice Of this restric-
ton, which forbids his appointment
OF an agent to sell tobacco for him

PApUcAH AND HER RIVERS

The Evening Sun has had much TO
say in times past of the certain de-
velopment Of the south, through the
attraction of trade thitherward by
the Panama canal; and we foresaw
the rush of railroads for New Or
leans connections; and emphasized
the advantage Paducah would enjoy.
could the Ohio, Cumberland and
Tennessee rivers be made navigable
at all times their whole lengths. We
could not, of course, accurately out
line the route of railroads south
ward, and the certainty of the Burl-
ington, and other lines representing
the Hill and Gould systems, coming
through Paducah is an added and
unforeseen blessing commercially
and industrially. Paducah is sure
to take her place as an important
railroad center. and as our oriental
trade develops and the Panama
canal carries more and more of the
commerce for Pacific ports, Padueah,
with trunk lines spreading east and
west. north and south. paralleled all
their way to the deposits of raw ma
terial-iron, coal. cotton, wool, sand
and clay-by the rivers, is a natural!
assembling point and bound to be a
manufacturing as well as a whole
sale center.
The Oh,V, Cumberland and Ten
nessee. flowing past the city into the
Mississippi. assure Paducah of such
rate concessions as water naviga-
ton competing with railroads can
compel Therefore, it is not less,
but more important, since Paducah
is to become a railroad center. that
the rivers be developed TO their ut-
most capacity for carrying freight
from year end to year end. There is
some excuse for a town, laboring
under natural disadvantages, becom-
ing discouraged and ceasing the
struggle for Advancement; but when
city enjoys the natural advantages
of water transportation and has
great railroad systems thrust upon
her. it is then citizens should act
concertedly and vigorously to realize
the full benefit of these advantages.
The congressman from this dis
trict should be impressed with the
scessity of improving the rivers at
this end as well as between Pitts
burgh and Cincinnati, where enter
prises are already approved. which
will give those two cities year
around navigation.

Lexington Gazette.

A correspondent calls attention to
matter. which. in his opinion, needs
to be taken up in earnest. He sug-
gests that IL is high time for the
officials to take some action to en-
force the laws against speeding auto
mobiles. He intimates that automo-
biles frequently go fifteen to twenty
miles an hour in the middle of the
busiest districts of the city. The Ga
zette is not prepared to say whether
there is a basis for this complaint or
not, but the laws against speeding
automobiles ought to be enforced.
No man has the right to endanger
the safety of others. and. without
prejudice against the owners of au-
tomobiles, The Gazette does not hest
tate to say that they should be COM
PEELED to maintain a rate of speed in
the city that is not dangerous to
others.
The automobile is constantly be-
coming a more popular means OF
conveyance. The number of automo-
biles in Lexington and Central Ken
lucky has greatly increased during
the last few months, and this empha-
sizes the necessity for the enforce
ment of the speed laws. Reason
able persons who own automobiles
recognize the reasOnableness OF the
speed limit and 1t is no hardship to
require automobile drivers to respect
the law. son
In many parts OF the country
there has been at times almost a
fanatical prejudice against the auto
mobile on the part of those who
have little chance 10 become auto
mobile owners. II the owners OF
horses and carriages were reckless
in the use of them. they would de-
velop a like prejudice. II is really
to the interest OF the whole automo-
bile industry and the owners of au-
tomobiles to have the speed laws
enforced. The Gazette has no doubt

ercise all of the authority the laws
confers upon him in this respect

The indications are that the Chi

road system is making rapid prepar-
ations to enter Southern territory.
The extension now under consider
alton is from Herrin, ILL.,, to Padu-
cab, Ky, crossing the Ohio river at
Metropolis, ILL.,, twelve miles below
Paducah. Surveys have been made
and extensive purchases or property
at Metropolis for terminal purposes
were effected some time ago. The

been filed in Illinois. give the name

but all the incorporators are officials
of the Burlington system. Chicago

poration. II is probable that articles
will be filed in Kentucky at an early
date. ,,ssuDS
The ultimate object OF the Burl-
ington is said TO be to reach the
