 In the meantime, bakers are said to be carrying on a prodtless business, as one result of MT. Patten's professed public benefaction. Another result, it is said, will be either an advance in the price of bread or a decrease in the weight of the loaves.
 As many times observed, there should be some means of reaching the specula- tors in tn necessaries of life and put ting rigid curb upon their greed The attention of the Federal government has been called to the matter. If President Taft can find or devise an effectively restrictive move, this single achievement will eclipse in real benefit to the people all the fuss and feath- ers'' of the Roosevelt Administration.

MRS. ANDERSON
Tells How After Giving Up Hope, She
 Was Cured of Dandruff

After reading this straightforward sta tement of Mrs. Elizabeth E. Ander- son, of Mechanicsburg, Pa-, go to Lev erty 6 Bro., get a large bottle of Pa risian Sage for only 50 cents, and if it don't do for you, what it did for Mrs. Anderson, they will give you your money back. Just read this letter, it s worth vour while:
 'I had given up hope of ever being cured of dandruff. when I purchased a bottle of Partisan Sage. It has entire ly removed the dandruff, and has started a growth of new hair, and all this after having been troubled for 15 years. I cheerfully recommend Pa risian Sage.''
 Parisian Sage cures dandruff, be- cause it gets right down into the roots of the hair and kills the thousands of pernicious dandruff germs.
 Since the introduction of Parisian Sage into America, it has been in de mand by thousands of up-to-date so- ciety women. Partisan Sage will turn harsh, lusterless, ill looking hair into bright, luxuriant hair in a few days. It is a delightful and invigorating dressing, contains no dye or harmful in ingredients and is not sticky or greasy. The girl with the Auburn hair on every package.

 Burglars Frightened Away.
 Thieves attempted to break into the Brooks cottage at Cedar Gate, Darien, Friday night, but were frightened off before they secured any booty. They left behind, in fact quite a valuable asset in the shape of a bicycle. This was turned over to the Darien police but it is hardly anticipated that the owner will call for it. MT. Brooks

Mental Poi.e and Health.

People who reach extreme old age are. as a rule, pretty well balanced physically and mentally. A poised life is serene, and serenity and harmony tend to longevity. The mind that Is not we'll balanced is constantly tangled and out of tune. There Is a constant jarring which racks the whole human machinery. There is discord in an un- balanced life. and discord is always destructive-deadly. The well poised, dignified life is not thrown off it's cen- ter quickly. The man who goes all to pieces over trifies is one sided. There is momentum in poised, balanced nature which steadies it's progress and helps hold it on its chosen track.
 Hot temper, constant mental confu- sion and disorder are vitality sappers- life shorteners.-Success Magazine.

The Judiciary committee has report.

The Judiciary committee has report ed unfavorably the bill taking the pow CT of appointing county commission CTS from the General Assembly and conferring 1t upon the people. It had not been seriously expected that the bill would be favorably reported, for the General Assembly clings tightly to all powers in it's possession. Yet, the measure is right. It would extend the .prfncfple of home rule. by conferring upon the people the power of electing their own county officers. There are as substantial reasons for popular cleo tions of county commissioners as for the choice of sheriffs by the people-the two offices are alike of county interest and Importance. Yet no one has sug- gested that sheriffs should be appoint ed by the General Assembly.

Wheat Speculator Patten of Chicago, the originator of the present "corner" and who is said to have cleared several millions thereby up to date and is like ly to gain several more, asserts that his main purpose was to prevent ex- porfation of wheat and to thus estop shortage as the result of insufficient crops. Really, we hadn't regarded MT. Paften as a public benefactor, and we are not yet inclined to accept him as sucll.

THE PROPOSED INCOME TAX

The Democratic Senators have agreed 10 offer an income tax amendment to the tariff bill, levying a tax of per cent. on all incomes of s5,0oo or more. Such a tax would compel those best able to pay, to contribute to the gov ernment's: expenses, in proportion to their wealth. It would not seriously hurt their pockets, though it might in tightly to their money than do the very wealthy. Except when expend- ed for their own benefit or pleasure, or for their own aggrandizement, a dollar =iook9>as large to the average multi millionaire as does $1o to the man of but moderate financial condition.
 The exodus of the very wealthy from New York when the city undertook to tax their personal property at actual value a few years ago, will not com pare in panicky conditions with the rush of the milhonaires to place ztheir swollen incomes under cover if the proposed income tax should be levied.
 Among those who would be severely of members of the Senate which is sometimes called the Million aires Club" It can hardly be expect cd that they will vote for an income tax, however greatly the government may need money. We doubt very much whether any income tax can pass the Senate: certainly. it will not, if Of Democratic origin. But the prop sosftfon will serve to put the Repub1i- can Senators on record.

HENEY AND THE BLACK PATCH.

Some of our contemporaries are
concerned because San Francisco
turned down Francis J. Heney. the
graft prosecutor: but we prefer to let
California worry along with its own
problems as long as We have some of
our own.
The Courler-Journal inNan exhaus-
tive edi orial says:
"Francis J. Heney. San Francisco
famous graft prosecutor, was de-
feated in Tuesdays election by a
large majority. Charles NJ. Fickert.
his successful Republican opponent.
pledged himself to drop the graft
cases. Heney. in characteristic style,
declared that he would keep up the
prosecution, if reelected. and would
drive the grafters into the ocean.
In the pursuance of plain duty and
in the face of great obstacles, Heney
prosecuted without fear or favor. His
work in San Francisco made him fla
nous the country over and there will
be widespread regret that he will be
unable to finish it,
San Francisco citizens. no doubt.
were glad of the graft exposure; but
Heney's probe reached into the vitals
of society and touched some of the
most influential men in financial and
church circles. These citizens are
popular. and their friends can not
believe they are morally tainted. We
can understand Heney's predicament
by studying the defeat of Capt Carl
Henderson for commonwealth at
torney Of the Fourth judicial district,
and the defeat by Denny Smith, of
Walter Krone for commonwealth S
attorney in the Third district. Hen
derson was in command of troops in
the field. preserving order in the
Black Patch, and Krone. who stood
guard with a gun over his own house
for weeks against the night riders,
was their implacable foe. These two
men co-operated with the state, not
only in restoring order. but in run
ming down the night rider conspiracy
Their probes reached into the vitals
of Black Patch society and they
touched men, who stand high in the
community. Their friends and neigh
bOrs couldn't bear to see them drag
ged into the court and punished for
their crimes. Their friends didn't
believe them morally guilty. in fact
Readers are invited to attach their
own moral to this tale; but the paral-
lei between Frisco and the Black
Patch Is obvious.

PADUCAH AND HER CENSUS

PADUCAH AND HER CENSUS
The question is whether Paducah
will. not only fall behind other cities
OF her class in population. but fall
behind other towns of western Ken
lucky in percentage of gain in pop
ulation.
The census will be taken next
April. Mayfield and other towns in
this section have extended their cor
porate limits TO embrace urban com
munities springing up on their Dor
ders, and Paducah's rivals have been
seeing to il that they will present a
good showing in the government re-
port, which will stand for ten years.
Paducah cannot afford now to give
Cairo and other cities advantage of
any kind. Paducah apparently is on
the eve Of development and we cam
not afford to permit false statements
concerning the growth of the city to
retard the good work in any way.
Paducah has been growing. but
while the city has been filling up. the
growth to the west has been greater.
and there has sprung up on the west o.
ern border community Of not less
than 1000 people and a million dol
lars worth of real estate is lying
adjacent to the city limits Some Of
the finest houses, of which the city
can boast, are outside the limits. II
the corporation line was extended as
far west as Wallace park from the
iinkleville to the Mayneld road. it
would take in property and settle
ments properly part of Psducah.
The proceedings to Incorporate
this territory will require some time.
and the sooner the city undertakes Il,
the better it will be for the city. II
is probable that little objection will
be raised to the annexation. The
small property owner will have little
cause for complaint. His taxes will
be changed little while the school
facilities extended to him. police and
fire protection, lights and water will
more than make up for what II costs
A new fire station In the west end is
necessary anyway, and the extension
of protection out that way will save
in insurance what ii costs in taxes.
