today that he has been wholly mis-

did not refuse to give saloon men the

sentei receipts for their license fees
from Treasurer Dorian, in which case

Next to a man. capable OF chang
ing his mind, and keeping up with
progress, we love a man, who is
consistently and persistently true to
his first formed convictions-and
: s'Uncle Joe" Potter Is that man, II he
ever lived. rfre 80
''Uncle Joe's'' sole claim to public
recognition is his historic fight to
perpetuate the constitutional rights
of the town COW. We had expected
HIM to stand for the legislature, after
the wheels of progress ran him down
i'm the general council. in order to
engraft a provision. emancipating her
again, In the charters of second class
cities. But. no, he returns to the
halls OF the municipal Legislature and
endeavors to strike the letters from
his bovine constituency In a less d.
rect, but none the less effective way.
He would, under cover of economy,
prevent the possibility OF enforcing
the law, which deprives the town COW
OF the inalienable right to "life, lib
erty and the pursuit of happiness"
"Uncle Joe" has learned something
from congress- The same principal
that restricted the secret service de-
partment by provisions in the appro-
priation bill, he would apply to re
ducing the police force. beginning
and ending with the COW policeman .
Uncle joe, sitting as member
OF board. which employees a com
m.ttee clerk" to perform some of the
duties of the city clerk. thinks the
mounted policeman, who keeps cows
of the unfenced lawns of Paducah,
should be abolished. He measures
the value OF the officer by the number
of cows he arrests In winter months
when lawns are no. nutritious. We
would measure his worth by the scar
city of COWS now running at large
and the lack OF complaints from
property owners. If there were scores
of cows running loose to be ARREST
ed. we would think the COW police
man wasn't doing his duty. and In
that case we doubt whether 'Uncle
Joe" would find the expense Excess
sive.
Uncle Joe" takes an unfortunate
and ill-studied aspect of the situa-
ton He complains that the police
mans number Is 81 which is
proof conclusive that he is an extra
ordinary burden. since the city is sup
posed to have only 30 patrolmen. He
might examine the marketmaster and
come other officers. who have police
powers, and find that they. too. ex-

Had the boy been a girl, and had she not made any more effort than he did to es- cape from her captor, and had Jhe fact been known that the man had taken advantage of her innocence no- only to kidnap her, but-also rob ner of her virtue, it would have been ab- solutely impossible to convict him of Kidnapping.
 Had little Billy Whitla been a little girl, and it was proven that sine had sat in buggy and had taken candy and accepted favors, and had been perfectly happy, as child might with her captor, it would have teen a very much more difficult case to prosecute than that when 5he victim was a boy.

 These men go into the country dis

 When a girls confidence and affec- ton has been won, it is a compara- lively easy thing to accomplish her ruin by proposing an elopement. Her scruples and arguments are easily overcome by the skilled deceiver. and trusting him implicitly as her accept ed lover, she unwittingly goes to her doom.
