THE GRANT APPOINTMENT.

The newly.clected commissioners OF
this city have appointed r. F. Grant TO
be chief of police The Tribune views
this appointment with cquanimity. We
have said from the first that we he,
licve in giving the commissioners a
free hand and in supporting them loyal
lv so far as their actions are worthy
Of support. We see nothing unworthy
in this appointment, but, on the con.
trsrv, we sec from Mr. Grants 5 an
nouucel programme that he has fair
and impartial ideas upon the duties of
a chief OF police.
He VIII make tho stress of his ct.
forts in tho way of saving tho boys
aud girls, projecting them from vice.
keeping them off the streets, and driv-
ing the Objectionable features Of the
community into less tempting forms
and removing them so far as possible
from being in the way OF invitations
to tho curious and the weak among the
youths of both sexes. This is certain.
" commeudable idea. which, in so far
as Nh Grant may he able 10 carry out
his programme in it. hc should be sup
ported by all tho good citizens of the
CITY.
Next. Mr.. Grant saws that he is not
in favor OF making any war on legally
licensed saloons, but of protecting them
in their business so far as that busl.
ness needs or is susceptible Of protec-
ton. He cites rs measure of protec-
tion the case Of roomiuC houses or
borIcl houses that sell liquor without
license; this as being unfair TO the
saloons that pay license and an in
fringement upon their business. In this,
Mr.. Grant is empbstically right. The
rooming houses which sell liquor of any
kind should be absolutely forbidden
that sale unless they pay the regular
saloon license. This is so plain prop.
osition that il seems very curious that
it has been overlooked in 50 far as this
NAV have been the case.
Mr. Grant says that he is surprised
10 find himself classed ms a radical,
saving that he does not feel radical
the Law in anything that he Will have
so deal with as chief Of police. This
will be rcassurinc 20 the conservative
element and ought TO bc satisfactory
TO tho people at large. We therefore
accept the appointment of Mr.. Grant
in good faith. Just as the commission
has made II. The commission plan of
government is an experiment, and VIC
believe in giving those in charge Of
that experiment, those entrusted with
1t hy the votes OF the people. Il fair
opportunity TO work out the problem IN
the best possible way according 10
their conscieuccs and likes. The proof
Of their effective administration of our
city affairs Will be known by its results,
and the new officials should in all
fairness be given an uutrammclcd OPP

1t is seen that the largest number Of
pensioners Of the Civil War, at any
given age, comprises those of the age Of
O. No other age in any way approaches
those of this particular figure. They
number I0i.S57, being practically one
fourth Of the whole list. The Civil
War ended in the spring Of 1860, forty.
six wears ago last spring. Any Partici-
pant therein must, therefore, have been
hut 10 years old in the spring of 1860,
when that war ended 1t is manifest,
however. that no youth of that age had
rendered any very serious service in
that war It is an anomaly TO see such
an immense number Of pensioners Of
that age, and it must have been a lit
tie difficult for those immature and I'M.
fighting warriors 10 have convinced the
Pension Bureau that their claims for
pensions were good, Few OF them could
have received any particular injury by
reason of their military service.
Another curious thing in the table
is the wide variance in the numbers OF
pensioners Of approximately the same
age There arc, for instance. but S6l6
pensioners of the age Of GO; but of the
age OF 20 there arc 90, Isl. 1t is
curious, indeed, to sec this difference.
1t probably arises, however, from the
fact that large numbers Of Young men
not quite eligible in age under one OF
the calls for SOC, 900 men. became clgi,
bic the next year when another call
came. The pensioners who are 15 years
old nnmbr 1922; but, on each side Of
this, that is. the pensioners of the age
of a ami 76, are both together less In
| number than those of 20.
Naturally the number Of pensioners
decreases rapidly from 10 onwards; but.
more surprising still it is to see that pen
sionors are on the roll at such great
| ages. Four pensioners AT %, six AT 96,
| five at %. seven at 9S, one at lQ3, one
al lO1, and one at los, are surprises

est of the Civil War pensioners. And the
number Of them above 90 is insiguih-
cant compared with the number of Civil
War pensioners above that age. The

an Illuminating commentary on both

also OF their venerable age.

ident Clarence LeBus of the Barley To
bacco Society, and his tenant on his
farm, the old Capt. John Ii. Carter
property at Fonwick. Fayette county,
Mr. Crittendon Pepper. sold their to-
bacco crop Of 1910 yesterday on the loose
leaf market in Lexington, one basket of
$50 pounds bringing the record price OF
40 cents pound. The entire crop OF
c, l25 pounds averaged $50 O5 hundred.
The American Tobacco Company was
the purchaser OF most of the crop.
1t was one of the best crops ever Of
fered on the Lexington market. Mr..
Pepper, who raised it. is one OF the best
and most expert handlers of tobacco in
the State and the care given it, Of
course, had great deal to do with its
price.

Within the next few days, probably
next week, a delegation of high moguls
of the Pennsylvania railroad are coming
to Richmond and will be met here by
Mr.. Hale Dean. of the Ohio Valley Tie
Company, who will accompany them to
Irvine. The party representing the big
road, will then be shown how the ties

ests cut into proper lengths. hewn and
prepared for the market. Mr.. Dean will
show them over his yards at Beattyville

the getting out of ties. Mr.. Dean has
just completed shipment to the
Pennsylvania and New York Central
lines of 10000 ties purchased in Lee,
Clay. Laurel, Estill and Jackson for
which he paid an average of so cents
per tie. Thus it can be seen what an
immense amount Of money this COM
pany has paid to the people Of these
counties the past year.

Services Close.

The special services at the Presby-
terrain church came to a close Sunday
and they will no doubt be the means of
stirring up a new spirit of revivement
along religious lines. DIR. Nesbiti,
whose strong sermons against the evils
of the world, with his appeals for a
cleaner life, were listened to b. so many
Richmond people, was taken suddenly

the pulpit for his homo in Nashville.
Fortunately DIR. Scanlon was able TO Sc
cure the services of DIR. NcAlister,
an eloquent minister from Louisville,
who arrived Wednesday and took barge
of the services to the close. DIR. Nc
Alister proved his ability to hold the at

Good Plan.

President Froman, of the Kentucky
branch of the American Society OF
Equity, has a plan to unite the mo
troopers" and those who are on the
other side, which he claims will I'M
doubtedly meet the approval of all and
thus control the situation. My propo-
sition," said he, is for the Burnley To
bacco Union to go ahead with its cut-out
plan and pledge what growers it can to
that policy. OF course, there are many,
as / see from the reports from some
counties, who do not approve of the no,
crop movement. They want to and will
raise tobacco These growers must be
protected and my plan is, if they insist
on raising tobacco, TO pool their 1911
crop and agree to cut out the crop in
1912. Thus you see this course will
diminish the average, raise the price Of
the tobacco on hand and benefit the
growers all round"

Green Clay
Comes Out With a New View
OF The Cut Out"
Question.

Mr.. Green Clay, one of Madison coun
tvs prominent young farmers, who has
studied the tobacco situation carefully,
is of the opinion that the cut out is not
the thing for the growers to do. Mr.. Clay
has some strong points in defense of his
stand on the question and the following
is given out by him in an interview with
a representative of the Climax:
'If we are to settle by vote, or signed
pledges whether or not Burley District
farmers will grow tobacco in 1911 let US
be fair and square about sit The first
question t1at will arise in the mind oil
of the doubter-and there will be plenty
of ihem-will be, has a majority signi.
fed its desire to cut out this years
crop?
Let the people know just how many
landowners or controllers there are in
each county.
LET them know how many of these
have been bonafine growers of tobacco
Let thom know just what proportion
of these bona fide growers in the pas
have signed these cut out pledges.
Let them know if all the signers o.
the pledges are landowners or con-
trollers, and what proportion, if any
are merely former tenants.
Deduct the total number of signer'
among the bona fide land ownersIor con
trollerS, who have been bona-fide grow
ers of tobacco, from the total number o
past growers in each county and we viii
