quite good many socialist ministers
have honestly attempted to preach so

their audiences have been very small
1t has been insisted that if minister
were to preach socialism, he would lose
his job. because the church would not
stand for the preaching of such doc

socialist preachers have been requested
to resign because of the preaching or
objectionable economic doctrines: but
III nearly every case it has been observed
that the minister was discrcdited not
because he had said too much, but be-.
cause he had not the ability to say much
more. The preacher or advocate of any
system should remember the law in the

SUICIDES AND SUGGESTION

! A society has been instituted for
the purpose OF discouraging the pub
llication OF murder and suicide stories
on the theory OF suggestion. The So
ciety bases its theory on the fact that
after one suicide is committed. there
frequently is a series of suicides in
exactly the same manner. newspaper
clippings often being found among
the possessions OF the suicides.
We might be facetlous and remind
those. who think thus, that for three
successive days this week the news
papers carried stories of deaths by
powder explosions. The opposite of
ggestions-warning - does not
seem to have applied in the last two
explosion cases; but as a matter of
fact. the society Is right in its theory,
only 1t doesn't stop where its theory
does. The suggestion Is only as to
the method of execution. The suicide
already has the Intention fixed in his
mind. and the newspaper story only
induces him to adopt the plan Of his
most immediate predecessor.
II the theory went further, we would
have to conclude that suicides were an
Invention Of the newspaper, the first
one reported being, perhaps, an err
roneously interpreted accident. and
that where there are no newspapers
to suggest the idea there are no sui
cides.
The truth is exactly to the contrary.
In those oriental countries, where
they have no newspapers. as we I'M
derstand the term, suicides are most
common. The higher thought, the
philosophy which says II only be-
lieves what man can establish by|
human proof. is responsible for most
suicides. When the man is up
against it,, discouraged and helpless,
or temporarily respondent, maybel
diseased, and realizes that all human
aid is unavailing and there is no
higher power to cling to. he is likely
to think whats the use?"
This theory is borne out by the fact
that the egoistie philosophy. which
finds its highest function In the con-
temptation of self, has been developed
in the orient for thousands of years.
and suicide is an Asiatic accomplish
ment

TnIIGH ON M,NuTT.

The pot always D0lls at the bottom
first; and only the alert may see what
| is going on. Politics is no different
from other things that boil. Ken
lucky is lively cauldron right now
and every few minutes something
comes to the surface, indicating the
agitation going on below.
Yesterday morning the Courier
Journal declared the Democracy of
Louisville could count the Courier
Journal out" II Senator II. S. McNutt
we're re-nominated Among other rea-
sons given is that Senator McNutt
voted against Beckham for United
States senator and thereby "separ-
ated himself from Democratic fellow
ship. That position Is not remark
able per Sc; but it does seem strange
that conditions warrant the party
paper in warning its constituency
against the nomination of a man, who
went back on his instructions, indi-
eating that there is a disposition to
nominate Senator McNutt in spite of
his party disloyalty.
II is remarkable, too. that the
Courier-Journal, the mainstay of that
element of the party, which violated
instructions. and glorified the indie
pendence OF the Louisville delegation
in the general assembly, should turn
against Senator McNutt for doing the
very thing the Courier-Journal con-
donad and axcuaQd
On the other hand, Senator Tom
Combs, of Lexington, lifelong
Beckham man, has named the steer
ing committee Of the state central
committee. indicating awakening ac-
Itivity in that quarter for the resump-
tion, of control in Kentucky.
We take it from these signs, that
the Haldemans are clearing the deck
for action, and getting rid of all in
lcumbrances and undesirable super
lcargo. II is tough on McNutt; but
when a man allows himself to be
fused once, he must expect ever after
to fare according to his usefulness
land availability. and the McNatts OF
this world can be used but once.

Improvement OF the court yard, Thigh

there to be hoped for, are the re-

EsrHETIc PROGRESS.

Three great objects can be accom-
plished by the boulevarding OF South
Tenth street. A broad beautiful
driveway from the Union station up
town TO Broadway will be secured, so
that visitors by rail will be impressed
at first sight with the beauty and
progress OF Paducah; the old red
light in the vicinity of Kentucky ave-
nue. and Washington street will be
redeemed beyond the possibility of
retrogression, and another link will
be forged in the proposed park sys-
tenn OF Padueah. Property values in
that part OF the city will be Increased
permanently. This must not be con-
sldered selfishly. Whatever helps that
section will help the whole city, and
the improvement of values will mean
the eventual improvement in appear
ance and sanitation.
How valuable II will be 10 have
such a broad driveway from the sta
ton uptown, anyone who has trav-
eled much or little. and formed inn
pressions of cities from cab and car
windows, will appreciate. Such a
street will be an example for others
and following close upon its improve
fucnt, there will come demands for
the improvement OF other streets and
concessions by property owners, such
as other elites have experienced.
