Farmers at the Front.

The farmers in the big county OF
Graves have determined that they
must have better roads. The fiscal
court has been unable to see how the
work could be done, owing to the
county's financial condition. Last
week a large delegation OF farmers
appeared before the court and sub
mitted a plan for beginning in July
the bettermeut OF the principal roads.
The court has adopted the plan and
by next fall Graves county viii have
made a good start toward a system OF
improved highways.
Briefly, the program submitted by
the farmers is as follows: The road
hands, allowed by law, TO take one of
the county graders and grade the
roads in the several maglsterial dis
tricts; the county to use the money
that has been expended heretofore in
grading and expend 1t in graveling
the principal thoroughfares leading
from the county seat TO the county
lines, the roads to be improved In
the order of their importance; the
farmers agree to haul the gravel at
5 so a day, nine hours to constitute
a day, each farmer to supply a wagon
with the capacity to haul a cubic
yard OF gravel at a load and TO fur
nish team and driver. the county
bearing the expense OF digging and
loading the gravel; the farmers also
agree to donate to the county any
branch or creek gravel on their
farms to be used for grading roads
that pass by or through such farms.
On a plan similar to this II Is pos
sible for any county in the state tc
make a substantial beginning for a
system of good roads. 1t has worked
to good effect in some OF the western
Kentucky counties, It being possible
thereby to make valuable improve
ments at a minimum cost. No county
Is in such impoverished financial con
dition as to render II impossible e
start a modest scheme of betterment
and one good road calls for another
Reports from Mayfield say that th'
meeting of the farmers with the fisca
court showed "the best and most en-
thusiastic interest on the part of tn
people for good roads ever demon
strated in Mayfield." With such
spirit on the part of the farmers
who, of all men. should be most In
lterested in the subject, there is rea
sen TO believe that Graves count
will not long continue under th
lthraldom of bad roads.-CourieI

NEGRO GIVES POLICE CHASE
ACROSS ."THE DUMP"
Frightens Neighborhood OF Fourth

Antics.

Jim Wood. colored. alleged to have
been brimbul OF a mixture OF bad
booze and coke" furnished excite
ment for the corps of nurses at
Riverside hospital, citizens IN the
vicinity OF Fourth and Clay streets
and the police department at mid
night last night. He was finally held
at bay on the Illinois Central railroad
I'LL below the hospital. Taking
chances to escape. Wood turned to-
wards the river. He stumbled and
fell head-first to the damp and soggy
earth 20 feet below and was picked
up unconscious by the police and
taken to the city lookup.
Wood first made his appearance at
Fourth and Clay streets. when he
smashed a rear window leading into
the Kitchen Of Frank Wahl's resi-
dence, $50 North Fourth street. Mr.
wahl was awakened by the crash. but
little suspected a burglar Thinking
that some part of the furniture had
fallen he did not investigate. Nurses
at the hospital saw Wood. who. after
failing to gain entrance through the
window. left the yard. He started to-
ward the hospital grounds across Clay
street. yelling and cursing.
Miss Price. one of the nurses. be
came alarmed and telephoned Capt
John Dorian at police headquarters
The patrol wagon. with Thad Terrell
and Patrolmen Smith, Shrader and
Shelton, was sent on a hurry run,
but In the meantime the porter at
the hospital had succeeded in routing
Wood, who fed across the hollows
back of the hospital. When the
police arrived they gave chaee and
followed him to the embankment.
When picked up, Wood was liter
ally foaming at the mouth. A large
hole in the soft ground had been
made by his fall.
This morning City Physician w. ].
Bass examined him in the Jail. He
will be kept there today II Is be-
lieved he was crazed by the cooke "
A charge Of drunk and disorderly had
been preferred against him.

AN EXTENSION WOULD PAY.

II the cost of furnishing municipal
protection to newly acquired territory
dn the event of an extension OF the
city limits, is the only factor that
stands in the way of a favorable re-
port by the councilmanic committee.
we can soon set their minds at ease
on that score and prepare the way
for them to conscientiously recon-
mend an extension of the city limits,
that Paducah shall have in the
.cnsus report, the population to which
she is justly entitled. Fire protec-
ton for that territory will be Afforded
by the new station on Broadway.
which will be established, regardless
of the question OF extending the city
limits. SO that viii add nothing to
the expense. Paducah has plenty of
policemen to patrol the additional
territory; SO there will be no addi-
tional expense for that. The people
themselves will pay for paving streets
and building sidewalks and sewers
and whatever incidental expense falls
on the city, will be more than made
an by the increased revenues, for the
extension should increase the assess
ment fully $3,0O0.000, adding fulll
$40 900 to the revenue of the city
and $40, 600 TO the schools. II 1t h
only. a question of economy, the gen
eral council need hesitate not on'
second.

Democrat Papers
Defend Governor
Mayfeld Messenger.

While we are not much for the
use of the military in times of peace,
yet we can't condemn Governor Will
son so much, as did the committee,
which has just made its report be-
fore the legislature.
The country in many parts was
very much disturbed by might
riders" and many lawless acts were
committed by unlawful hands of
people, who would ride about over
the country at night destroy property
and terrify the people. The local
authorities either refused or failed
to put down this lawlessness and
what else could a governor do. who.
stood for the protection of the peo-
pie of his commonwealth. The ex-
pense of saving the country and bring
ing about peace and harmony in the
dark tobacco patch" may be high,
but it had to be done and was done
regardless of the cost.
IL these local disturbances had not
been put an end to, when they were,
an insurrection would have been the
result, which would have cost, per-
haps, millions of dollars and hun
dreds of lives before peace could
have again been restored.
Don't condemn the governor too
much. for 1t may be the end justi-
fed the means.
War cost money and so do VIOLA
tions of law. and all the state has to
do is to pay the bills and stop kick
ing and give to Governor Wilson all
the honor due him.-Mayfield Mes
senger.

DEFEND THE GOV
ERNOR

On this page today The Evening
Sun reproduces editorials by two
regular" Democratic editors, con-
cerning the use Of soldiers by Cover
nor Wilson in crushing the outlaWry
in the Black Patch: one from uhe
Hopkinsville Kentuckian and the
other from the Mayfield Messenger.
Editor Meacham, of the Kentuckiah
Is a Democrat and was elected
mavor of Hopklnsville on that ticket,
and he held the office of mayor dur
ing the night rider raid on Hopkins
vile. He speaks from knowledge at
first hand. Col. James Lemon, ed
itor of the Mayfield Messenger was
never known to give any quarter to
Republicans in a fair fight, and
while his inclination is ever to be
as Just as the exigencies of politics
will permit, we feel certain he knew
he was representing the sentiment
of all law-abiding citizens, Republi-
can and Democrat, when he penned
the editorial, concluding with the ad-
monition to "give to Governor Will
son all the honor due him"
The Louisville ring is responsible
for the report of the legislative COM
mittee, condemning the governor,
and Attorney Charles Carroll, who
wrote the report. is the man in
whose behalf the calendar of the
lower house was surreptitiously al
tered, so that the Louisville ripper
bill, abolishing the Office of city at
torney, could be advanced for the
purpose Of ousting the incumbent and
making an opportunity to appoint
Mr.. Carroll to the same position un-
der another title. The reading pub
lie will remember the clerk was al
lowed the privilege of explaining
that he did not tamper with the
and the lieutenant COVER
nor took occasion to warn the clerk
of the senate to keep an eye on that
bill to prevent it being slipped up on
him.
The Louisville crowd, which has
been pushing to the front in the leg
islature, which they control bills to
increase the salaries of Jefferson
county officials to the hindrance of
all other business, probably have
been talking with night riders, and
received the wrong impression of the
attitude Of western Kentucky peo-
pie. The Louisville crowd has II in
for the adjutant general, a Democrat
and a Confederate veteran, and they
saw a chance to abuse him and score
the governor, who appointed him
hence the report.
Their mistake Is easy TO oompre-
hend, since night riders knew no pol
itics. over in the Third judicial dis
trict, where most of the trouble oc-
Cured and where there were indict-
ments for night riding. Democratic
and Republican night riders voted
together in self-defense. Law-abld-
ing citizens, Democrats and Repub-
lican, clung to their own parties. but
while less demonstrative, they have
not forgotten the service rendered by
the governor and his militia, and We
are glad to see the Messenger stand
ing by its convictions and the senti-
ments Of the good people it repre-
sents.

JUDGE GUFFY.

The late Judge Guffy, OF Morgan
town, was a man of many parties at
a time when public sentiment was In
a chaotic condition. The Wings had
disappeared, the Democratic party
had gone down in defeat before the
new Republican party, and ancestral
ties we're broken. So each new ma
tional issue was espoused by some
new national party. He lett the
Democratic party and was one of the
Lincoln delegates at the birth OF the
Republican party; he was Green
backer and a Populist, and was
leader In all OF them. He sat In the
legislature and presided as chiei

HONOLULU'S STOCKS

Honolulu's stock market appears
to have encountered one of those
slumping periods for which there is
no particularly good reason, al
though II is easy to explain.
Two unexpected things have hap
pened: The price of raw sugar has
gone down instead OF up; the money
market Is tight on account of heavy
Withdrawals of deposits for invest
ment abroad. Consequently a mum.
Der of people think it is about time
to get out from under, and those
who want to buy are doing nothing
to calm the fears of the timid.
When the market gets in such q
condition, there Is nothing gained
b. trying to stop 1t, until the timid
ones are all shaken out.
But the worst of Il is that n GER
tain element take advantage of such
occasions to attack the general
standing OF Honolulu's securities
and stir up lack of confidenc,
OF which too large q quantity is al
ways on tap, with the result that
money may be withdrawn from first
class local Investments and practi.
cally squandered in doubtful prop
ositions abroad.
Although the price of raw sugar
has dropped when the best informed
men expected 1t to advance, the fact
nevertheless remains that q very
good share of our sugar crop has
been marketed at high hgure. And
should the price of raws drop even
quarter of cent from It's present
figure. the whole crop OF the Hawai-
ian plantations will be marketed al
splendid profit. Coupled with this
is the fact that the crop condition:
on the. various plantations are very
good.
Nothing. has happened to reduce
the intrinsic value of Hawaii's Sc
curities or to justify the slightest
lack of confidence in what this mar
ket offers to investors.
