PLANS FOR THE FUTURE.

In the next two three weeks will try to
get out nice membership card and some litera-
ture describing the work Of the Brotherhood. Our
office at Thomson, and our printing plant in At
lanta have both been crowded with work for
eral months, and this work for the Brotherhood
has to be at odd times, to avoid expense
The Brotherhood is growing nicely, and have
many members that it will be possible to
arrange, before long, for regular systematic work
1t will help us very greatly in our proposed or
ganizatiOn if our present members will enlist
many new members as possible. We want the
Brotherhood to cover every nook and corner of
the South, and little missionary work the
part Of members will achieve this result.

and officers at the polls. These
could easily be classified as the per-
sonal friends of particular candidates.
Evidently these men, who, the
News Democrat assures us, have
not figured much in local politics
believe that Il is important to the
"citizens at large" with whom they
have strength, that the Republicans
this year put out an unusually strong
ticket. 1t must be they realize the
"citizens at large, who did not dis
play any interest in the character of
the Democratic ticket, have no conf
dence in the ring, which dominates
that party organization; that they
are very well pleased with the city
administration; that they desire a
general council in hearty sympathy
with the administration; and that, II
the Republicans put out a strong
ticket of business men, they will sup
port 1t and elect IT.
We can draw no other conclusion
from the coincidence of an uninter-
esting Democratic primary and the
Admission OF the News-Democrat that
Republicans who have not figured
much in local politics, but have de-
cided strength with the citizens at
large" are going to take a hand in
the Republican convention.
We have known OF this interest for
some time; We are glad that the in
terest is sufficiently great to attract
the attention of a News Democrat re-
porter. 1t must amount almost to a
demonstration.

MAKING PADucAH THE CENTER

MAKING PADUCAH THE CENTER.
Promoters of the McCracken coun-
ty fair. who have worked faithfully
and with unnagging energy and en-
thusiasm for months, have done all
they can-possibly all any human be-
ings could. II is now up to the
weather man and the people. espe-
cially the people of Paducah. II they
go TO the fair every day. they will not
only make this one a financial sue
cess, in the way of paying expenses
il it can't possibly do more than that
but will assure the success Of the
fair next year and increased attend
ance from over the Purchase.
There are two objects of practical
Importance in the fair, not to be lost
sight of. The first one is to stimu-
late agriculture by putting on exhi-
bition samples of the products
the soil and breeding in west Ken
lucky, and afford a place for those
Interested in agriculture to assemble
at the point with the exhibits before
them and discuss methods of produc-
ing and marketing.
The other is to attract people from
what Is distinctively "Paducah terri
tory" to this city. Paducah must be
made the market center. the social
center, the amusement center, the
medical center, the religious center
the educational center-in fact the

chase reyolves. The city IL lackins

The state agricultural board has
not recognized Paducah even as the

their appreciation OF the efforts by

At Augusta, Ga, the city owns all
of the Georgia frontage. Jackson
vile. Fla, is an important port, and
at present Is considerably congested.
The city owns only street ends. and
there are important railroad termi-

II thus appears that a very large
proportion of the active terminal
frontage along the Atlantic coast IL
held by railroads. In many cases
this control is used TO hinder the de-
velopment OF the rival water system.
The legal status OF such control has
not been developed as far as might

COMING EVENTS CAST THEIR
SHADOWS BEFORE.

Coming events seem TO have cas-
their shadows across the threshoh
of the News-Democrat sanctum, an
while we should take liberal discoun
from everything IL says concerning
Republican politics for the unfriend
ly desire to do the party injury, the
following admission in its news col
umns Sunday morning contains much
of interest and significance, not only
to the Republican politicians but
also to the citizens of Paducah al
large:
insurgency, ripe, rampant
and not to be denied. developed
last night in the ranks of the To-
cal Republican party, and II was
freely predicted that open re-
volt will be started on the floor
OF the Republican convention
Tuesday afternoon at the city
hall. and several men will be
nominated by insurgents for
places on the council or board
of aldermen that have not been
reckoned with, and are not on
the slate.
THE INSURGENTS ARE
SAID TO BE REPUBLICANS
WHO HAVE NOT FIGURED
MUCH IN LOCAL POLITICS,
BUT WHO HAVE DECIDED
STRENGTH WITH THE CITI-
ZENS AT LARGE. These gem
tlemen seem determined that a
prepared slate is not to be ram
med down their throats, forced
upon them whether they approve
or not, and they are said to have
several candidates for local Of
fees they desire nominated.
The reference to a slate can easily
be attributed to previously published
stories concerning a committee meet
ing at which the time, place and
manner of nominating a city ticket
was discussed and decided upon.
This is peculiarly the province OF
political committees and 1t is not i'm
probable that candidates were die
eussed frankly and extensively by
the committeeman. That is also
a legitimate subject of discussion for
