THREE MEN ARE GUILTY ONES

Pillaging of chicken house and
barns was stopped early this morning

three men were caught. No arrests
were made. as the leader escaped be
fore officers could arrive, but the
farmers believe that the county has
been rid of some gypsies who have
been guilty of numerous thefts OF
farm products.
At midnight w. ]. Boatwright. a
farmer residing near the Bellview
church. was awakened BY the bark
ing of his dogs. Securing his pistol
he ran out of the house and saw sew
eral men jumping over a high fence.
Several shots were fired, and in a
few minutes Mr.. Boatwright spied
the men in front of his house on the
gravel road. He approached the
men, but they denied being on his
premises. and said they had pur-
chased a bushel and a half OF corn
and a half bushel of bran from a
farmer between Paducah and Mag-
field. Later Mr.. Boatwright found
that the corn and bran had been
stolen from his own BAN.
As there were three men and he
counted only one. Mr.. Boatwright re-
treated to his home. where he sum-
moned Gottleib and George Boyer.

watch out for the three men, who
drove towards Paducah in a wagon.
In a short time F. G.. Broyles. 30
years old, heard the men passing his
house, and quickly the word was
given, and in a few minutes a posse
OF farmers armed with pistols and
shotguns were hot on the trail OF
the thieves.
They were followed 10 the Starr
springs. on the old Starr farm, when
the posse found the men in camp.
They denied their guilt. but investi-
cation revealed the fact that In a
sack were two chickens stolen from
Mr.. Boatwright's house. while four
chickens were identified as the prop

tall man. soon walked away from the
wagon and in the darkness escaped.
Ofioers were teiephoned for. and
Patrolmen Gillum and Dunaway went
to the Starr farm, where the farmers
held the men under guard. No ar
rests were made, and the mea prom

The men have been camped on the
farm for about a month and have
been living in a tent. They were ac-
compamied by two women and two
children. Since they have been In

TWO NEW GRADERS AND
TWO DRAGS FOR COUNTY

The special committee appointed
by fiscal court to consider the advisi-
bility of purchasing new road ma
chinery met Saturday afternoon and
recommended that two new road
graders and two drags be bought

power TO make the purchase. II Is
probable that the road machinery

GENERAL COUNCIL MEETS
AT CITY HALL TONIGHT

Tonight at 1880 the general coun-
ell will meet at the city hall in regu-
lar session. Two important items
will come before the boards tonight,
one being remonstrances from labor
unions in the city against Chief
James Wood of the fire department
installing an East Tennessee tele-
phone in the new fire station. Two
weeks ago tn general council granted
the chiefs request on condition he
would pay for the use of the private
phone. The other item will be the
report from the committee that inves-
tigaIed affairs at Riverside hospital.
1t is said no complaints will be
made, but there will be few minor
recommendations. Much other rou-
tine business will come before the
boards.

THE PRESIDENT AND HIS PARTY


Now. that the senate has passed
the postal savings bank bill, those.
who have said congress refuses to
carry out the platform pledges and
the administration program, are say
ing that congress rebuffs the presi-
dent, because the senate amended
the postal savings bank law, as pre-
pared by the attorney general and
advocated by Senator Root. Thus,
we see certain people are bound to
maintain friction between the admin
istration and congress. if only in
their imagination. There was no
expectation that the urgent demands
of the president for the fulfillment
of platform pledges would take
away from congressman and sena-
tors their individual discretion and
responsibility for the character, ef-
feet and efficiency of the laws.
Nevertheless, the innovation of in
Producing into congress bills pre-
pared under the direction of the
president in conformity with the ma
tional party platform, places the
executive In a different attitude to-
ward national policies from that,
which he has usually occupied. We
take 1t that only such bills are as are
specifically promised in the national
platform and intended to enable the
executive to carry out stipulated
policies will be formulated at the
white house.
The recent election in England
permits of a contrast between the
two representative governments, es-
pcially striking in view of President
Taft's repeated assertion that he is
::.titular head of his party''-not the
figurehead. In England parties di-
rectly reflect the sentiment of the
majority. The ministry is elected
by the house of commons from its
membership. Consequently, the
natural leaders of the majority party
of the house are the acting heads OF
the government, and the commons,

Hon. Henry Lawrence, ex-speaker
of the Kentucky legislature, veteran
editor and good one too, of the
Cadiz Record. is a candidate for state
senator to succeed the present in
cumbent, who has expressed a desire
to emigrate to Oklahoma, to the re-
gret of a great many people, as they
say they just simply wanted to re-
member Senator Linn at the cleo

General Lawrence has been tried
in many places OF trust by the peo-
pie, not only of his district, but by
the whole people of Kentucky, and
he proved himself entirely worthy
in every respect of their confidence.
He is able in every sense of the
word, and II he should be elected TO
the senate, our district would have
a representative that would make a
record of which all would be proud.
No blush of shame of treachery on
his part. He has made a gallant
fight with his paper trying to induce
our senator to stand true to his
ante-election promises on the county
unit bill, but all to no avail.
