STATE PRESS.

Frankfort. Aug. 10. (Special) -
Answering the last statement of For
mer Governor Beckham. Editor w.
c. Bell, in the Kentucky Republican
will say today in an editorial en-
titled: Republican Stewardship"
In our issue last week. we made
brief mention of an attempt of the
Kentucky State Journal to answer
the editorial that appeared in the
Kentucky Republican on July 81,
After wasting nearly a column in a
vain effort TO be funny, the editor
of the State Journal finally gets
down to business and says:
Admitting Auditor Stones state
ments to be true on January 1. 1900.
does the editor of the Republican
expect any one to hold the Demo-
cratic administration responsible for
the disasters of the Taylor admins
tration? To whom, or what sue
cessor, did Auditor Stone turn over
his office? Editor Bell tries TO make
it appear that he turned II over to
the Democratic administration. We
do not believe that he would know
ingly or wilfully attempt to deceive,
but when he undertakes to write on
this subject, he should be better in
formed and not fall into such an in
gredious blunder. Auditor Stone, in
that report, meant his Republican
successor, Mr.. Sweeney. who was the
auditor under the brief but disas-
trous reign of Taylor"
The writer can assure Editor
Beckham that IL was not his pur-
pose to deceive any one in this mat
ter, but IL was his purpose 10 have
the editor OF the State Journal at
tack the financial record of the Tay-
lor administration, in order that he
might show, from Democratic rec
ords, that the brief administration of
Taylor had not been so "disastrous"
as had been 50 often charged by
Democratic editors and spell-binders.
The editor OF the State Journal.
after admitting that Auditor Stone
to pay the bonded Indebtedness of
the state, all other debts having
been paid, makes the remarkable
statement that when the Democrats
took charge on the 26th OF Febru-
airy, in less than two months after
Auditor Stone made his report. they
found a net indebtedness of S1,700,-
10000, thus leaving the reader to
Infer that in that length of time.
1 Auditor Sweeney, against whose
good name there has never been a
, breath of suspicion, and Treasurer
Day, had squandered that amount of
money. Surely he did not expect any
but the most biased and bitter parti-
san to accept the truth of that state
ment. We regret that we cannot
throw the mantel of charity over the
, editor of the State Journal. for whom
we have the highest regards per-
sonally, and ascribe this unwaTranted
statement to dense ignorance as he
very considerably did some OF our
statements.
Taylor Administration.
Now. we shall show, from the re-
ports Of Auditor Golfer who sue
ceeded Auditor Sweeney, that
EVERY DOLLAR that was paid out
by the Taylor administration went
for the LEGITIMATE EXPENSES
of THE STATE GOVERNMENT,
and we shall have to ask the reader
to bear with us while we give
detailed statement of the expenses
OF the state government during the
"brief but disastrous reign of Tay-
lor." On page z, Auditor Golfer, In

OUR GIFT TO PADUCAH.

While citizens are discussing the
ACCESSIBILITY of extending the bound
aries OF the city 10 enlarge the popu-
lation before the next census, The
Evening Sun modestly offers TO the
Paducah markets today a Greater
Paducah territory.
At the conclusion Of what was, per-
haps. the most literally rewarded
contest, ever inaugurated by any
newspaper, The Evening Sun feels
like congratulating the contestants
every one of whom received a prize;
the community, which now mas a
newspaper that reaches a majority
of the homes in the Purchase, and
ourselves, who have found a most
kindly feeling manifested towards
The Evening Sun in every one Of the
counties, in which the contest was
carried on.
The contestants have worked with
enthusiasm and their popularity was
attested by the enormous vote each
one received. Circumstances, no
doubt, played part In giving some
larger votes than others; but sub
stantially the whole vote was fatter-
ing TO the contestants and TO The
Evening Sun. We know now that
we have friends. where we formerly
supposed we ought to have. Every
contestant, especially in the rural
districts, can attest to the increasing
ease with which she secured sub
scribers as the contest progressed
due to the fact that The Evening
Sun had fallen into the hands OF
nearly every prospective subscriber
making him a friend at once
The contest has cost The Evening
Sun in cash a large sum; but the
contest was not inaugurated as a
direct profit making venture. The
advertisement Of the paper and this
community. and an Increase In cir
culation and the territory covered
are the main points sought by such
a contest; and from that point of
view, which was the only one con
sidered from the beginning. The
Evening Suns recent contest was a
remarkable success.
This means as much to Paducah
and Paducah merchants. as 10 the
newspaper. Paducah now has daily
paper with nearly 1000 subscribers

The regular monthly meeting OF
the North Newburg Farmers club
was held at the pleasant home of Mr..
and Mrs. John McCollum on Aprii
Sth at which time we noticed that
farm work began to interfere with
our club attendance.
The weather seemed to hinder the
early arrival of our members and It
was near noon when Vice-President
Mattoon in the absence of President
Stranch called the meeting to order
A song by the club and invocation by
our chaplain opened the way to the
business of the club which was taken

that the commonly accepted meaning
of success acquiring great wealthy
is a decided mistake, that good
name is rather to be chosen than
great wealth. That life is very un-

c. Carruthers brought out only a
few questions. s
lis the binder twine plant in Jack
son state prison benefit to the
farmer and If so why do not more
farmers patronize it Z" was answer
ed by A. b. Cook, who said he had
used the twine and found it a good
article that he thought the sta e
plant responsible for a decline of
nearly five cents per pound in the
price of twine. He thought every
pound of state twine should find sale
at home to the exclusion of other
twine.

taken by our representative at Lans-

not see why he should be opposed 10

ANN ARsoR IMPROVEMENTS.
Large Sums of Money For New
Equipment.

Detroit, April 15.-"Before fall WI
hope to have the Ann Arbor system
in condition SO that the people o
| Michigan may be proud of it," de
| clared Vice-President and Genera
| Manager George X. Lowell, in his of
flee in the Ford building, Wednesday
This statement followed the an
nouncement that he had just CLOSED
| contracts for two new all-steel pas
| senger trains, the first of the kind Il
be operated by Michigan railroad
5000 tons of 85,pound steel rails
four more monster freight engines
| and another passenger locomotive.
Expenditure Over $.5O,OOO.
Expenditures of the line for rail;
and new equipment in the fiscal yeai
ending in June will exceed $780,
600. Eight freight locomotives
were received last fall, as well as
other rolling stock.
The order for the steel passenger
cars has been given to the Pullman
company, and includes four coaches
and two parlor cafe cars. This
equipment will be delivered by June
15, and will me used in the resort
traffic to Frankfort. These cars are
lighted by electricity and the only
wood in them is the interior paneling
and this is for the purpose of aiding
in heating the cars, the steel being
such a non-conductor of heat as to
make the wood paneling necessary.
When the new rails are down, the
last Of tine old 56-pound rails will
have vanished from the Ann Arbor
line, and the whole 800 miles from
Toledo to Frankfort will consist OF
20 to S5-pound rails.
The new passenger locomotive will
carry an electric headlight, and these
electric headlights will be placed on
all the passenger engines. They are
regarded as an additional safeguard.
as they outline the roadbed SO that
even a switch-point may be seen.
New Bridge Near Ann Arbor.
In foggy weather the flash of the
light may be seen for miles, and
slower trains may be appraised of
the approach of.-the passenger train
by the illumination of the sky.
The freight locomotives are Of the
heaviest type, and the bridges along
the line have been strengthened in
advance of their coming. A new
bridge will be constructed across the
Huron river at Ann Arbor, and a
curve in the track will be straigtnten-
ed, ,, making 1T safer for trains COM
the bridge atcrapid speed.
A mile and half of track will be re-
laid, and the whole improvement will
cost $4,000.
Since General Manager Lowell
came to the Ann Arbor from the Mo-
non line two years ago. a vigorous
policy of improvement has been in
progress. and the Ann Arbor road
has undergone a metamorphosis.
''When I go to sleep at night I
want to feel that everything that hui
man skill and foresight can do for
the safety of the travellers has been
provided for our SYSTEM" said Mr..
Lowell.

Taxpayers Get the Worst of IL.

William Parsons and Seward II. Bills
will have more expense to pay in their
suit over their line fence trouble, as Mr..
Bills has decided to appeal to the su-
preme court from the apparently fair
decision of the circuit court in the mat
ter. Their farms adjoin in Burns town
ship and the property in dispute is
probably worth less than $50, but the
people of the state and county must be
put to big expense and the courts
time taken because of the stubbornness
of both parties. They better buy The
TINES book on farm laws for future use
and save theirs and the peoples dollars.
