The death of Hon. Med. Ferguson,
railroad commissioner from this dis
trict. will bring about the necessity
of electing his successor at the COM
ing November election and We may
expect the announcement OF candi-
dates in very short time. Judge
Bunk Gardner, Of this city. is being
solicited to become a candidate for
the vacancy, but so far he has not
said whether he Will be In the race
or not, but as he is in line for the
position his friends think he Will
within the next few days announce
himself. Judge came out OF the other
race clean and clear of anything un-
becoming a gentleman OF the highest
order and II he concludes TO enter
the race he will be from the start a
prominent candidate.

Burlington reach Paducah.
If all of Paducah could take trip,
they would have their eyes opened as
to what is being done by other NUM-
'cipalities, and they would then realize
the strategic position that Paducah
enjoys. Natural advantages should
not be overlooked nor should too
much stress be laid upon them. Out
here we move mountains, II they
stand in the way, and the greatest
work that is now being wrought in

CHICAGO AUTOS
Kill Three Persons Every Two Weeks
on the streets.

Chicago. June 24.-Automobiles are
killing chlcagoans this year at the
rate OF three persons every two weeks
In 1907 the slaughter was one person
every three weeks. according to the
police statistics obtained by Alder
man Patrick j. Nolan In support OF
his plan to have Tenders placed on all
autos.
This data shows that more than
twice az many persons have been
bumped to eternity by the gasoline
wagons in the first five months OF
this year as we're killed In the entire
twelve months OF 1907. The alder
mans table compares the fatal and
non-fatal automobile accidents In
Chicago during the first i've months
of this year with all OF 1908 and
1907 as follows:

definitions and ascertain in the first
place what a lady is. Having de-
fined her. then we might assume that
the quantity. quality and manner
could be varied according to circum-
stances and the consecutive number
of the drink; for even a lady, in an
automobile, for instance, could not
be expected to siphon the contents OF
a pint bottle into her system, in the
same manner and with the same ease
and grace, that distinguishes a similar
performance in the privacy of
her boudoir, surrounded as she Is
by all the latest appliances for avoid
ing the proverbial slip twixt the cup
and the lip. Neither could she rea-
sonably be expected to manifest the
same deliberation and poise In man
lpulating the nineteenth or twentieth
consecutive cocktail, that attended
the first drink.
We feel certain that the servants
who still remain in the employ OF
Mrs. Gould, thus qualified their state
ments that she drank like a lady;
and where they disagreed with Mr.
Gould's servants, who said Mrs
Gould was beastly drunk, they really
meant to convey the impression that
Mrs. Gould drank her nineteenth and
twentieth consecutive cocktails just
as any lady would, who was under
the influence OF the preceding eigh-
teen.

We quite agree with the editor Of
the Chicago Record-Herald that the
value of DR.. Eliot's ''five-foot shelf
of best books is not lessened by his
critics. who would DO well to wait
until his full list is made up before
questioning his selections. Even the
charge that he erred in not adding
Shakespeare and the Bible would
better be postponed until we see
whether the eminent. scholar does
include them, and altogether We sus-
pect that his critics are only Selling
an opportunity to air their knowl-
edge of the names of books. We
trust that DR.. Eliot's selections will
speedily take rank among the "besi
sellers"

made certain criticisms Of McCracken
county institutions. which were never
denied: but were resented by the au-

this early confederation of her theo-

social order, which has thus been
doubly shocked. first by the crime Of
murder and then by the defiant act OF
self-destruction, that an investigation
be made. We do not attempt to fix
the blame or anticipate the finding Of

much comment, and in justice to
those officials who are innocent OF
fault, the blame should be fixed OFF,
