, Signs of Revolt.

Jake Corbett is being warned by
some of the district papers that he
would be fool-hardy to run for con-
gress against Ollie James. AS a
matter of fact, Mr.. James is very
strongly entrenched and the man
who goes after his s7,5OO-a-year job
will have to be a good one; but 1t
doesn't necessarily follow that Jake
Corbett or any other man of con-
gressional size in this district should
pocket his ambition until Mr.. James
gets ready to retire from office or
steps up higher. The people OF the
First Congressional district have
not yet decided the office of Con-
gresham to ollie James. and IL he
or his friends get the notion in their
heads that he is invincible. there
may come a day of sad awakening
for him and them. When a man is
allowed to remain in congress until
he begins to feel that II is hardly
worth while for him to come into
his district and see the people and
give an account of his stewardship
after each session of congress, the
people begin TO wonder IL he appre-
ciates the honor and the high salary
they are instrumental in comforting

and they left, II seems. failing to pay
the amount. The farmer secured
judgment for IS for the privilege.
Robinson's circus showed at Dyers-
burg the same week before coming
to Paducah and upon its arrival there
the judgment was handed to Mr..
Robinson. II had been made out In
favor OF the farmer against Robin
son. The manager at once was at a
loss and could not understand why
he had been held liable for the
amount and refused to pay II.
why, all people in the circus bust
ness should protect each other" was
the defense of the farmer and the
technical question will be left for the
court to decide. Mr.. Robinson does
not intend paying for a debt created
by Wallace Bros, and will fight the
case. He said IL would cost him over
$50 to do this.

Few people, perhaps. in all thia
delightful speculation in the realm
of trunk lines connections with the
lakes and gulf. stop to think what
the extension of the Tennessee Gen.
trail to Paducah would mean. II

ing straight connection with that
wheat and tobacco town. 1t passes
through Gracey, Cadiz, Caledonia
Rockcastle, and those other tobacco
growing communities. gives US prob
ably another track to Grand Rivers

large territory tributary to Paducah

The Times ON Mr.. Taft.

Az the chief executive starts on his
swing around the circle Il is proper
to take stock o. his stewardship and
to inquire how far he has held the
faith and fought the fight.
And, first, II should be promised
that much of the earliest work of an
administration is of necessity ap-
pointive, and is not to be measured
in terms Of actual work done. TAX
ing that phase of his achievement
first. he must be credited with an ex-
cellent record in diplomatic appoint
ments and with a wise reluctance to
barter diplomatic plums for party
services; Mr.. Oscar Straus at Con-
stantinOple, Mr.. Rockhil at St. Peters
burg and Mr.. Crane at Pekin are
selections of high order of merit
And his nominations for the judi
ciary have shown a singular aloof-
ness from merely partisan bias.
without waiting for the winter
session, Mr.. Taft attacked the tariff
problem from the start. and the main
output of this initial period Is the
Aldrich- Payne-Taft bill, as to which
the president promises to take us
more closely into his confidence dur
ing his western trip. The downward
revision for which be stood pledged
was not accomplished; II was, in
point of fact, fouted; but, as a writer
in the Worlds WORK shows. the
struggle Is only beginning, and we
are invited to consider the tariff com
as a notable step forward.
That Is as may be. Certainly its
mem bership IS OF an encouraging
type, and we will give II the benefit
OF the doubt A shrewd move to Sc
cure federal control over the great
by means of the corpor-
alton tax was put through with SUI
preme skill, and is, we are inclined

FRIENpsHIP AND GRANT


In the popular and indiscriminate
condemnation of political graft, we
sometimes go so far as to set up a
standard of ethics for public officials
differing from our own. For in.
stance, If a man in Office, all other
things being equal. favors a friend
we at once cry graft, without hesita-
tion or investigation. Now, to be
sure. the fact that friends of the ad-
administration get all the plums Is
legitimate ground to warrant in
quiry; but 1t is not by any means
prima facie evidence OF anything
crooked. Personal friendship is an
important factor in this life Again
a man is better acquainted with the
standards of honesty of his friends
than of strangers. and in public Of
fee, desiring to afford good service
he may naturally be inclined to sur
round himself in contractual rela-
tons with those, whom he can trust
But. of course. man can be i'm
posed upon by his friends, and pub
lie officials are under no greater OBJ
legation to their friends than to the
pubic. and must not expect the pub
lie TO consider the weight Of friend
ship in judging the administration
of public Offices.

TO think. the most important asset OF
the half-year's activities.
Is there aught else? There IS. pri-
marily. a most praiseworthy and well
come return to sanity and to the ordi-
nary courtesies Of life; a delightful
absence of noise and OF friction; an
urbanity that Is not backboneless
nor made mp OF concessions; an
avoidance of undignihed and unmeas-
ured squabbling These are not great
constructive achievements, but they
make for better understanding; for
respect, II not tor admiration.

The Louisville Times tells the fol.
lowing story on William Blades.
deputy United States marshall. who
attends the sessions OF federal court
in Paducah and has many friends
here:
william Blades. deputy United
States marshall. took federal pris-
oner to Washington. ID. c., a few
days ago. While in the national
capital, he stopped at the old Ma
tional hotel. Years ago this house
was patronized by many distinguish
ed men. II is said of the National
that the night of the assassination
of President Lincoln. John Wilkes
Booth, the murderer, sneaked out of
rear door OF the hotel whore he
was staying.
ut is claimed" said Mr.. Blades,
that the old servant who opened the
back door for Booth is still there"
The first night of Mr.. Blades stay
In Washington. the landlord OF the
National was very anxious to please
him. lie showed him about every
room in the house. Nearly every
apartment had some historical event
connected with IT, Finally they
reached a room. a big apartment,
which the landlord wished Blades to
take.
"why do you know" said the
boniface, that this is the room ia
which Henry Clay dled?"
Blades looked the room over care
fully and then dryly remarked: III
he had to stay here. don't wonder
he died"
1T is a peculiar thing" said
Blades yesterday. but do you know
1 don't think that landlord apprc-
ciated my remarks regarding mis-
room"
