FLOUR DROPS SLIGHTLY
WITH BIGGER DROP COMING

Bread eaters and bread earners as
well. are tickled that the price has
begun to drop towards the earth.
IL is the biggest drop that flour has
taken on the market in many
months. and will enable the people
to eat a little more bread with their
butter. The drop is due to the new
wheat which has come In, and Pat
tens control of the market has been
released. Much to the JOY of Padu-
cab the lower prices have begun 20
be felt. Some OF the grocers have
stock on hand. and the price will not
drop materially until the new stock
begins to come in. as the groeers say
they cannot AFFORD TO sell cheaper
than they purchased flour. The
lower prices will include every grade
OF flour.

Pleased with Dorian's Nomination.

Republicans of the state are great
~ pleased with the nomination of
Mr.. John j. Dorian as Judge of the
police court in Paducah. Mr.. Dorian
is widely known through the state,
and is favorite with many political
leaders.
John ]. Dorian is one of Paducah S
leading citizens. He was the first
Republican in Paducah to be elected
TO a salaried office, that of city treas
urer. After serving four years he
was renominated and reelected in
1907, leading the municipal ticket.
After he-had assumed the Office the
question OF eligibility was raised, and
the Opposition declared that under
the constitution of Kentucky in cities
of the first and second class no
mayor, chief executive or fiscal off,
Ger was eligible. to succeed himself
This 81 to same contention made
against Mayor Gninstead, of Louis
Vile, at the present time.
The courts held that Mr.. Dorian
had received a majority of votes and
was therefore the city treasurer until
his successor was properly elected
That was in 1907. In November
1908, George Walters. a Democrat
was elected city treasurer, but Mr.
Dorian held on to protect his sureties
interests. A friendly suit followed
and in March, 1909. the court of ap.
peals decided against Mr.. Dorian. but
allowed him his salary for all of the
months he had served.
Few men in Paducah and Nc.
Cracker county are better and more
favorably known. On several occa.
sions he might have had the nomina-
ton for mayor. He will be a tower
of strength to the Republican party
as he has many Democratic admirers

A NEW FREE TRADE THEORY.

We always understood that Urey
Woodson's chief claim to statesman
ship lay along the li~es of what Is
known as practical politics; but We
did not know he had adopted a the
DRY, concerning the balance of trade
exactly contrary to the opinions Of
all the great free traders. who have
preceded him.
In the Owensboro Messenger yes
terday he let out a wall column
long over the fact that for a brief
period the imports exceeded the ex-
ports, and he cried in anguish OF
soul: when was there a nation
buying more than it sold who did not
come to grief and great grief?"
Now, the critics of the free trade
doctrine, which means no tariff on
imports, have laid stress on the fact
that European goods. coming into The
country free Of duty would, in many
II not most instances. undersell
American made goods on accoun. Of
the higher wage scale here entering
into the cost of production. The an
swer the late Congressman Frank
Hurd. the greatest exponent of free
trade in this country, made TO that
was this: Property is wealth and
money is not. When countries ex-
change commodities for money they
are not gaining wealth, but disposing
of it, and the country which imports
nothing and continually exports. in
the end will fritter away its wealth
and have nothing to show for ii but
the gold supply of the world.
However. Frank Hurd is dead. and
his theory was propounded at a time
when an alleged free trade congress
was in session. The Messenger must
needs take things as they come
Since the statement on which its edi-
tor!al was based was published, new
circular from the bureau of stats tics
has come out, showing that the bal
ance of trade once more is in our
favor; 50 the Messenger may return
to its time honored theories and con-
uinue its opposition to the govern
ment.
