THE TAXPAYERS INTEREST

II is certainly unfortunate that
The Evening Sun and the Louisville
papers stated that Senator Arnett
charged Senator Eaton with propos-
ing am amendment that reflects on
Sergeant-atArms Mott Ayres. II the
charge was not made; but the COLI
troversy, of which Senator Eaton
makes mention. between Arnett and
Bertram was with regard 10 the
Merits of the appropriation Itself.
and not the manner of disposing OF
the senatorial graft of s4,100 in
volved. Senator Bertram contended
that the extra help appropriation was
for the purpose of draining the state
treasury of that much money with
which to redeem political promises.
Probably Senator Eaton mistakes
the essential point in the contro-
versy. The interest of the taxpayers
in the distribution of the extras is
only that of casual curiosity, their
personal interest ended when the
state legislature appropriated IS, 200
for so disgraceful a purpose.

Public Servants.

There Is a popular fiction that pub
lie ofiiceholders are servants" of the
people and are constrained to do the
wilI of their masters. From the low
est to the highest officers no such
servitude Is recognized and even the
people themselves are inclined to
smile at the sugges ton. The people
OF the various communities select
one of th"ir number 10 do certain
thing for them, having hazy notion
that their servant" or agent will do
their will. but he usually holds to a
mental reservation to do his own will
and II it happens TO be the will of
the people, lucky for them. Take
the people of Kentucky today. how
nearly are their chosen representa-
tives at Frankfort doing their will?

Throwing Away Opportunities.

The coure of the leaders in the
senate has demonstrated an utter
failure to see and grasp the golden
opportunity presented. They have
vbolat I'd prediction pledges right

they could to defeat the unit bill.
They have exhibited no sense of ap-
preciation whatever of their obliga-
tion to the people
The senate is bound and gagged
by a set OF rules formulated for the
special purpose of giving absolute
and complete control of the doings
of that body to two or three mem
bers.
AS an extra precaution a commit

vaded whose main object would be
to give the county unit bills speedy
burial as soon as they were refer

come famous by reason of its per-

jokes, and the laughing stock of the
whole state.
We cannot understand why such
astute politicians as Senators Combs
and Linn, and their partners in run
ming the senate. cannot see that the
people are growing tired of being out
ragged, and that by such conduct on
their part, are beginning to wonder
what has blinded their eyes.
Every scheme. every piece of jug

TOBACCO SAMPLES
Arb VENDED ABOUT
POLICE BELIEVE THEY ARE on
CLEW To SYSTEMATIC
THEFT OF WEED.

Following the arrest OF Taylor
Pryor, colored, by Patrolman Emil
Gonrieux this morning the police are
conducting a thorough Investigation
into the alleged theft OF what may
amount to hundreds of dollars worth
OF samples from local tobacco ware
houses. Pryor Is being held as a
suspect and claims the samples were
given him and other negroes impli-
Gated in the deals.
Pryor was about to enter No. 3
hre station at Tenth and Clay streets
this morning at s O'Clock when Pa
trolman Gourieux saw him and went
inside. Mr.. Gourieux jerked OFF his
hemlet and covered his star when
Pryor poked his head In the door and
asked where the captain was. Mr.
Gourieux spoke up and asked Pryor
The Paducah evening sun., 1910-02-05

what he wanted with the captain.
II wants to see ef ne wants TO
buy some Tobacco" said Pryor. who
had an armful OF samples wrapped
In papers.
What's that" said Patrolman
Gourieux and he arose and slapped
on his hemlet and displayed his star.
Pryor stood motlonless and turned a
shade lighter. lie was unable to
speak.
He was taken TO police hcadquar-
ters and locked up. Pryor says these
samples have been given him and
others at different warehouses over
the city and that he with others had
been selling them. The police are
looking for a man who Is said to have
received the alleged stolen samp,es
and kept them for the negroes who
sold the weed
In confession to Chief Singery
and CITY Jailer Clark this afternoon
Pryor said he broke into Graham s
tobacco warehouse at Eleventh street
and Broadway and stole the five
samples of tobacco. A warrant
charging him with housebreaking
will be issued. Arrests of others
connected with Pryor are expected
70 follow tonight or tomorrow. Chief
Slngery said there is no telling what
amount of tobacco had been stolen
from warehouses by negroes.

AMERICAN TARIFF WINS.

The Payne tariff bills maximum
and minimum schedule and Presi-
dent Taft's diplomacy have won
notable victory in removing the ob-
noxious German regulations against
the admittance of American meat
to the empire. The law provides that
those nations which admit American
goods on the same terms as all other
nations. get the minimum rate on
their importations to the United
states. President Taft made up a
lis, which excluded Germany and
France from the minimum rates.
Germany has come over and France
will follow; because Italy would 9TH
erwise have the advantage in the
American market, and Italy is
Frances chief competitor.

Since 1896 the Tories in Canada
have been at a disadvantage in the
newspaper world OF the Dominion. II
Hes within the power OF the govern
ment at Ottawa to do more for its
newspaper supporters than is possible
for any other government in the
Anglo-Saxon world IL uses printing
ink lavishly. II has an enormous
amount of advertising patronage I'm
its bestowal-official notices. adver-
Using for the intercolonial railway,
the department OF agriculture. and
above all for the immigration depart
ment; and moreover the government
printing house at Ottawa can handle
only part of the work required for
the government. Practically all this
advertising and printing goes to the
newspapers whose proprietors support
the liberal party. Nor is this all the
government largesse that finds its
way 10 these newspaper proprietors:
for there Is a remarkable connection
in Canada between the control of the
liberal newspapers and directorships
in companies which derive their enor-
nous advantage from the iron and
steel bounties, from the protective
duties in the interests of the Nova
Scotia coal mines. and from the high
duties ON iron and steel and on other
products of industrial plants.-Ed-
