A month ago O'Malley, a widower

three children, the oldest of whom
was six years. Not long afterward

A MARVELLOUS RECORD


The interest, which attaches to a
Taft message is not the same we felt
in those of Roosevelt. Under the
preceding administration we antici-
pated with keen relish personal allu-
sions, provocative OF sharp retort,
and some new direction given to the
presidential zeal. Nothing of the
kind is looked for in a communica-
tion from President Taft. We spoke
OF Roosevelt's policies; IL we
should write Taft's p, nine
readers out of ten. without a mo
ments hesitation would supply the
letters "r-o-g-r-a-m."
The Taft program was outlined in
his speeches during the campaign.
and reiterated In his first message
to congress. He has held steadfastly
TO II ever since. though reducing his
demands on the last congress to five
urgent reforms, namely: the maxi
mum and minimum schedules. pub
hcity Of corporate books, tariff com
mission, extension of the interstate
commerce commissions powers and
che creation Of a commerce court of
review. In his message delivered
today 70 congress he repeats the part
of his program as yet not enacted,
but does not elaborate on 1t.
Consequently, public interest is
not whetted by expectation of what
Taft will advocate next and demand
OF congress. II is his stewardship in
which we are interested, and we are
not disappointed Never posing as a
monitor or dictator of congress.
President Taft devotes the greater
part of his message to reporting to
congress. as composed of the repre-
sentatives of the people, what he has
done since last 1t met. and a right
good account he has given of him
self.
Other presidents have spent their
time more continuously at their desk
In the white house, but when we read
President Taft's message submitted
- congress today. we wonder what
they were doing all that time; for he
has recognized the executive depart
ments, combining duties, eliminating
conflicting responsibilities, wedding
out useless employees, reducing ex-
penses millions and improving the
efficiency and order of all the de-
partments. He has recovered through
the treasury department millions OF
dollars OF which the government was
defrauded in customs under his pre-
decessors and adopted a system
whereby future frauds will be pre-
vented; he has get In motion the de-
partment Of justice. so that all sorts
OF swindles and "get-richrquick'
concerns are debarred from aountry-

WHERE THE BLAME LIES.

That's a fearful Indictment of the
police court, county court and circuit
court on the front page of the News
Democrat this morning, in which 1t
showed that in eight murder cases
since last February in McCracken
county one was acquitted in police
court, two were acquitted in circuit
court, two were admitted to bail and
two have not been apprehended.
and not one has been convicted.
Only one of the crimes, in which no
arrest has been made, was committed
in Padueah; the other, the Pool road
murder, was committed in the county.
and so far as we can ascertain the
prosecuting officials have taken no
interest in the case. The other muir
der, that Of Frank McManus, was
committed in the city, and the police
have been working on the case, so
far, without apparent success.
OF all the murders recorded in this
mornings News-Democrat, only one,
the Pool road mystery of the county,
was committed in the furtherance
of robbery. The others were COM
mitted in hot blood or for re 'enge.
The police cannot prevent such
crimes. The only possible prevention
of them is a speedy and complete
justice meted out in such fashion
as to engender respect for the law.
That justice can be secured only
through the cooperation Of the pros
ecuting officials with the police,
and prompt execution OF the courts
mandates. There IS no charge
made in the News-Democrat that the
police did not promptly arrest thess
people. The statement is that they
were admitted to bail and that they
were acquitted on trial.
UNPUBLISHED murder, unrestrained
prostitution, contempt for the laws
of God and man are the crying evils
OF. Paducah and McCracken county
as our morning contemporary truly
infers. but it will have to look higher
than the police department for the
blame.

The Payne Tariff Act.

The schedules Of the rates Of duty
In the Payne tariff act have been sub
jected to a great deal OF criticism,
some Of 1t just. more Of It unfOunded.
and TO much Misrepresentation. The
act was adopted In pursuance OF a
declaration by the party which Is re-
sponsible for II that n customs bill
should be a tariff for the protection
Of home industries. the measure Of the
protection 10 be the difference between
the cost of producing the imported ar
ticle abroad and the cost of producing
Il at home, together with such addi-
ton to that difference as might give
a reasonable profit to the home pro-
Queer.
The basis for the criticism Of this
tariff Is that in respect to a number
of the schedules the declared measure
was not followed. but higher differ
ence retained or inserted by way OF
undue discrimination In favor Of GER
tain Industries and manufactures.
Little, IL any, Of the criticism Of the
tariff has been directed against the
protective principle above stated, but
the main body Of the criticism has been
based on the charge that the attemrt
to conform TO the measure Of protec-
ton was not honestly and sincerely adj

Tariff Board.

The time IN which the tariff was pre-
pared undoubtedly was so short as TO
make II impossible for the congress
and its experts to acquire the informa-
ton necessary strictly TO conform to
the declared measure. In order TO avoid
criticism Of this kind In the future and
for the purpose OF more nearly conform
ing TO the party promise congress at its
last session made provision at my re-
quest for the continuance OF board ere
ated under the authority Of the maxi
mum and minimum clause of the tariff
bill and authorized this board to expend
the money appropriated under my d.
rection for the ascertaInment of the
cost Of production at home and abroad
of the various articles included In the
schedules Of the psrlff. The tariff
board thus appointed and authorized
has been dillgent IN preparing Itself for
the necessary Investigations. The hope
Of those who have advocated the use
Of this board for tariff purposes is that
the question of the rate Of duty Inn
posed shall become more OF business
question and less OF a political ques-
ton, to be ascertained by experts of
long training and accurate knowledge.
