asked permission to speak," the pre-
siding officer cautioned him.
That changed the current OF Mr..
Corbetts torrent of words, and he
confined himself to expatiating on the
well known legal ability of Circuit
Judge Reed; the virtues Of Mayor
Smith, who aside from being rich,
and a Republican, Mr.. Corbett said,
was In nowise different from himself
and Mr.. Dorian. who was a gentle
man, despite several prominent faults
which Mr.. Corbett emphasized.
When Mr.. Corbett subsidized, City
Treasurer Dorian was recognized. and
he faced the aldermen with his bland
est Irish smile, and opened up with
the soft pedel on his vocal chords.
"Mr. President" he began, 1--WE all
know our old friend, Mr.. Corbett. He's
like Vesuvius. He belches lava all
over everything, and it's hot and it's
dirty, but it doesn't burn below the

Wonderful Surgery.

Among the Arabs and the Moors
every European traveller is supposed
20 be doctor OF medicine and a sur

one upon which they boast them
lselyes, and II is perhaps the one OF
which they know the least. Walter
b. Harms in his account of a journey
TO Tafiet. tells the story of a won
derful operation in surgery as 1t was

CONGRESSIONAL sPoILs.

Washington correspondents send
out the tip that the president will
veto the census bill in its present
form. II provides for an examination
for applicants for positions under the
census bureau, but they are not to be
competitive, and after the examina-
ton is passed the congressman win
be I'm a position TO dole out patron
age to the faithful in their districts.
The ball also provides that the hun
dreds of thousands of dollars worth
of printing is to be done outside the
government printing Office. A con-
gress that seriously considers a bill
like that hasnr much dignity OF
honor TO be affronted by anything the
president might be moved to say.

SOME STORIES
AROUND TOWN

Paducah girls must be expected to
dictate whether the fashions of Chi
cago or New York are proper, accord
ing TO a story in the Louisville
Counier-Journal, which says:
oh, JOY she cried. rats are
going out of style!'
This announcement was made at
a gathering of girls and rats the
other afternoon, and caused a sensa-
ton among both sections of the as
|sembly. Proof was Immediately de-
manjed, and the statement was then
made that Paris and New York and
Chicago had declared against rats
One girl stated it more definitely by
Saying that Just as much money
would really have to be spent, as it is
now intended to develop the Psyche
knot as much as possible. Everybody
lrealized what that meant.
However, immediate relief is not
in sight, as the pessimist pointed out.
Chicago and New York may
have acted, she said, but there will
be no help for us until Nashville and
Paducah have set the seal OF APP

Hal Corbett is the second promi-

the floor of the council chamber.
II was very embarrassing for Mr..
Corbett last night, anyway, because
he forgot himself and started out with
the same speech he delivered at the
Kentucky theater for Tom Harrison
the night before the election of 1907,
although he was delegated to speak
in favor of not paying any salary to
Treasurer Dorian.
He commenced his speech in the
back of the hall and ran forward
with outspread hands until he had
no audience before him excepting
President Hannah.

THE TAFT PROGRAM.

Raymond Patterson, the Chicago
Tribune's Washington correspondent,
who has inside information on most
OF the policies of this administration,
states positively that william H.
Taft will announce in his inaugural
address the purpose to prevent fur
ther issuance of watered stock by
interstate commerce lines, and that
this will be one of the chief features
in the policy of the next administra-
ltion. II rs stated by Patterson that
Mr.. Taft, Elshu Root and Phi,ander
|C. Knox, than whom there are no
better lawyers in the country, agree
that the federal government has the
Implied right to regulate stock issues,
as necessary to proper regulation or
