Congressman Ollie NJ. James,
whom we all know and love, was
selected from among the many
good Democrats in the lower
house to preside in the place Of
Speaker Canaan while the Cana
dian reciprocity treaty was un-
der consideration. His selection
marked the establishment of a
precedent. Cannon's avowed
reason was that he wanted to
select the most thorough-going
Democrat in congress in order
that the Democratic party might
be thereby committed to the
principal embodied in the treaty.
Just a week or so ago, Senator
Paynter, also of Kentucky, and
a candidate against Mr.. James
for the senate, was selected from
among the Democratic senators
in the upper house of congress
to lead the Democratic defense
of Senator Lorimer, whom the
nation believes was elected
through the bribery of the Him
ois legislature. Lorimer is the
representative of corporate in
terests whose charters are reg
istered in New Jersey and whose
business is carried on through
out the United States. There
fore, the selection of Mr..
Paynter brought into sharp con-
trast, one with the other. James
was selected for his principles,
Paynter for other reasons.
Upstate people sometimes think
it strange that Ollie James has
the hold on the people of his

Look Out For Peddlers.

The Muhlenberg Argus, pub
lished at Central City says:
Look out for peddlers these
days. especially those dirty
Asiastics who have come in
from Christian and Hopkins
counties, where the State Board
is attempting to prevent the
spread of smallpox. Keep these
peedlers off your premises. There
are already several cases of
smallpox in the western part of
this county. A spread of the
disease is to be dreaded. Beware
of strangers, but especially dirty
peddlers who have been in
Christian and Hopkins counties.

district ~ he possesses. In
the light of just such signal
honors as that accorded by Can
mons action, it is reasonable to
think that he has the same hold
on his confreres. Big in mind,
body and heart, Ollie James is a
man among the people. Mr..
Paynter is a man from among
the interests, Ollie James, it it
true, has sought the limelight,
while Paynter has avoided pub
licity. Here we have another
contrast, for there is less likli-
hood of dubious things being
done by the man in the lime
light than by the man in the
dark. The records of Ollie James
has been a battle against the
very things that Paynter champ
ions with his defense of Lormier.
The one ambition of James is to
accomplish things for Democracy
and the people. The ambition
of Paynter seems to be the pro-
lection Of those things that
James has fought against. The
two men are Numerically OPP
posite in all Of their inclinations
and ambitions. The one is pas
sive, the other militant. Paynter
is defensive always, James is
aggressive.
AS both ask to be elected TO
the United States senate, these
contrasts are extremely interest
ing, and as the nation needs
aggressive rather than passive
men, it would appear that Mr..
Paynter is to be made content
with one term in the senate. -

GOES DOWN In
THE CUMBERLAND
Strikes Pier Of Bridge And is
Broken Apart. Three Persons
Drowned.

GAINESVILLE, Tenn, Feb. 49,
Striking a pier of the Cumber-
land river bridge at GAINESVILLE,
shortly before dawn Saturday,
the towboat CLANCY Lamb, Cap
tain j. B. Smith, of Paducah,
sank in 20 feet of water.
Three negroes, two men and a
woman. of Metropolis, ILL.,, were
drowned. Their names could
not be learned. All the remain
der of the crew escaped unhurt.
So sudden was the collision and
so quickly did the boat sink that
there was no time to lower life
boats and the crew made their
way to land by swimming.
The CLANCY Lamb is owned by
Paul Ryman. He bought her
for the Ryman Line of Nash
vile. Until recently she had
been leased by the Rampendahl
Lumber Company, of Metropolis.
I'll. She was on her way to
Nashville when the collision oc-
Cured. Pilot Newman was at
the wheel.
The Lamb was built in 1892 at
Dubuque, Ia. Her port was at
Nashville, Tenn. She was 1876
feet in length, 2S,S feet in width
with a AS feet hold. Her gross
and net tonnage was 1914. She
was equipped with 200 horse
power engine. Her crew con-
sisted Of II men. The Lamb
arrived at Paducah last Sunday
night with a big tow Of emptieS
and tied up there until Wednes-
day, when she departed for
Nashville.

one should compare the congress-
man from the frs Kentucky dis
trict, with the great city of New
York without in their respective
ways both have done things
worth while and both are keep
ing at it.
1t is interesting to know that

is equal to the combined popula-
ton of Denmark, Sweden, Nor

that is strange to the ordinary
American, the little things that
are noticeable to an observant
eye. Passing along on the sixth
Avenue, elevated one notices a
sign over a we'll constructed
block "cat and dog hospital, sep
arate rooms for PATIENTS" why
not hospitals for these sick Ca
mines and felines when their
value is so wonerfully great.
Imagine buying a dog for $4,000
and a cat for nearly as much.

evening about an old colored man
who occasionally acted as pur-
veyor Of food for a gentleman
who liked to live pretty well.
Wild turkeys were plenty and
had been served rather often on
his table. So he asked Sam if
he could get him a nice fat
domestic turkey for the follow
ing Sunday. Yes sir, course |
can, replied Sam | know just
where to get it. The turkey
was duly delivered, dressed and
drawn nicely and came to the
table a nice delicious plump look
ing brown bird. In carving it,
several shot were found in the
breast and the inf erence drawn
was that Sam had palmed a wild
turkey off for a tame one.
The next day Sam was called
down by the angry epicure who
said, "you rascal, you brought
me a wild turkey, | know for l
found a lot of shot in it"
Nov look here, boss, said
Sam, you is entirely wrong that
was surely a tame turkey and
those shot, we'll now those shot
were just intended for me.
