Cairo. In fact, she has taken
splendid advantage of an opportun

knew that the knocking was of the
right sort and for her own good.

road, of course, but did any of you
ever stop to think how many |. c.
folders are read every day by how
many thousands of people in how
many hundreds of railway stations
throughout the country? Wei, in
the latest folder the first thing the
prospective patron of the road seas
when he opens it up is an entire
page of display advertising, easy to
read and hard to resist, telling Of
the NATURAL and artificial advant-
ages of Paducah as a residence and
business city, pointing out the In
ducements it offers to merchant,
manufactures and farmer as a place
to locate and build up a business.
1T closes with an invitation to write

So they called the old man into the
office. and told him that as he had
worked for them faithfully and well
all these years they had decided to
pension him of. but that he could
draw the same wage as he was then
earning.
The old man turned away. but the
was very much troubled and puzzled
about the matter. and the two sons
could see that he hadn't taken it at all
in the spirit In which they had given

Minority Senators to Wilson.

After adjournment of the Legisla-
ture. the minority senators sent the
following telegram to the President:
The undersigned members of tho
Senate of tho Nineteenth General AS
the governor of this state. respectfully
represent: That the special objects
mentioned in the message Of the gov
ernor to be legislated upon by the spe-
cial session did not appear to us to be
sufficient to cover the exigencies OF the
act: that we have in every vote cast
endeavored to Indicate such lnsuIti-
and voted to mden the seops "
the objects that might be considered
to cover the entire situation. We be-
passed by the Legislature at this ses-
sion are Inadequate to meet the situa-
cere desire to alleviate the conditions
in this state. We deplore the neces-
sity of your telegram 70 Goyernor Am
necessary n reminder to the governor
OF Colorado by the chief executive Of
in its duty in the premises.
washington.-Presid Wilson ex-
pressed satisfaction with the situation
after he had received Governor Am.
mons reply. 1t was said by officials
in close touch with the President that
Wilson was greatly pleased with what
had been done after he had been in
formed by Governor Ammons OF the
work of the Colorado Legislature, and
that he hoped the state would assume
control of the situation in the near fu-
ture so the federal troops might be
withdrawn.
washington.-Presi Wilson Sat
urday made It clear that Colorado
must quickly solve its own difficulties
growing out of the strike situation, and
that the federal troops now on duty
there would be withdrawn as soon as
possible.
He telegraphed Governor Ammons
telling him the state Legislature
should not adjourn without taking
steps to control the situation, and re-
ceived a reply from the governor say
ing everything possible was being
done.
At the White House it was stated by
officials close to the President. that he
does not plan to withdraw the federal
troops II anarchy is to break out again
but he feels there is no excuse for the
Legislature adjourning and leaving
the problem to the federal govern
ment
Members of the Colorado delegation
in Congress were alarmed by the
Presidents telegram to Governor Am
mons, and said anarchy would reign
again If the troops were taken away
before the strike was settled. They as
serted that although orders for the
disarming of the contending factions
had been issued. only small proper
tion of the arms have been turned In.
and that practically an armed truce ex-
lists at present.
The President will be reasonable
about the question, 1t was said at the
White House, but believes that under
the constitution he has no right to
use the federal troops in Colorado
when the Legislature has a chance to
act. 1t was recalled that when he
sent the troops to Colorado he made 1t
clear the act was only temporary.
