BETTER MATERIAL THIS YEAR. In scanning daily the numerous state exchanges that come to our desk, one fact that is pleasing to observe is that the character of men offering for representative and senator in the variom districts to be filled this year, are of a most desirable quality. Time was when the best men from the various communities gave their time and ability to their "'states either in the capacity of senator or representative, but in later years these positions fell to men of lesser Importance while the able men vUh-drew from the field. This vear there Is to be observed a number of men over the sate offering for these offices who represent the beet ability to be found in their respective localities. They should be sent to Frankfort and kept there as long as they are willing to atay, or others of their kind.

These offices are very Important positions, requiring the very best ability, that the duties thereof may be discharged to the best advantage. Kentucky will be the gainer by such men serving In Its legislative halls. There is a great deal of, Import n't legislation to be disposed of at the next general assembly and it will require men of ability to jneet these conditions. Fortunately McCracken county has leen unusually favored In the material sent to Frankfort of late, but the sames can not be said of other districts in the state which have not been represented, but on tte other hand sadly misrepresentec-In very sense of the word. It Is good to note that there Is a disposition to improve this condition, both on the part of the voter as well as the candidate who is willing to sacrifice tiiB time for his state's good.

WILL RACE EXPRESS TRAIN IN AEROPLANE HOPES TO TRAVEL FOR 200 MILES AT A MILE A MINUTE CLIP. Kews-Demoi'nit Special Service. New June 17. It became known today that Charles K. Hamilton, the aviator, is planning to race an express train in his new Wright aeroplane.

The trip will set a new record for aeroplaning, It is believed. Mr. Hamilton hopes to travel at more than a wile a minute, ec.ipsing the fastest express on the New York, New Haven Hartford railroad. The total distance is about 200 mites. Mr.

Hamilton is at present In New Britain preparing for the trip, t.nd days It will be made within a lew dayfl.

Tj the onlooker who is the 'situation purely ia a mood of contemplation, the fight for the republican nocv ination for governor aeerns to have assumed a condition whna looks more promising for Franks and Cox and less encouraging for Rear. The latter, It would seem, has lost ground pero-piably during the past two or thrte weeks, while the two who seem to he jointly opposing him have materially gained.

It is as yet a hard matter to determine which of the two pth-r candidates. Franki or Cox. has the best of the situation, but the fact that Franks Is a good speaker and campaigner, has a tendency to tip the scales'of public favor in his direction. O'Rear Is having trouble in convincing the general public that he la entirely sincere on all of bis propositions and his speeches have so much of the flavor of 'catchers, that the general voter is not in a mind to take to him seriously. It does not seem for wrong to observe that in the light of present day conditions, Cox and Franks have the best of the situation.

THE CAMPAIGN PUBLICITY BILL, Amendment by the senate of the campaign publicity biU by making it a corrupt practices act similar to that in force in Great Britain wpiild be unobjectionable and should be welcomed by the Democratic majority in the house. The bill as first drafted by the non-partisan commission, of which Perry Belmont is chairman, was more than a mere publicity measure. It was. in fact, a penal statute aimed against the corrupt use of money in presidential and congres sional elections, and if the bill should be enacted in its original form I would go far to prevent the debauching of the electorate. "It is asserted by some of the standpat fraternity in the says the Philadelphia Record, "that, while they realize the evil of unlimited expenditures in popular primaries, there is no way to remedy the game at present.

This is double hv-pocrisy. The insinuation that the evil to be cured is the corrupt use of money in 'popular primaries is 5 malicious dig at the southern senators, who are virtually chosen by-the vote of the electors preliminary to their election by the state leglsK-tures. The virtuous standpatters conveniently forget the corruption by money of the secondary electloii, as in the case of Lorimer and the alleg ed $100,000 expenditure of Senator Isaac Stephenson, of Wisconsin, In procuring the nomination "of state legislators favorably disposed to him. The assertion of the standpat sena tors is hypocritical also in pretending that it Is beyond the power of congress to relieve the situation." Congress has the right, which has been frequently exercised, to regulate the time and manner of the elections of both" senators and representatives. That right should extend to the enactment of a complete corrupt practices act, net only prescribe the character of campaign expenses and providing for the publicity of the same, but also limiting their ahiount In this connectloa it is weir to call attention to the law recently enacted by the legislature of New Jersey.

New York, June IT i am the most doctored woman in New York, yet I never have been ill and robust health and have hardly ever tut en any medicine, -said Mrs. Frances Henxecry, who is professionally known as "Belle Holmes." a detective for the County Medical so-ctety, at her home "I have been baked, frozen steep-eti. hypnotized, treau.i for mental-' tioubles, and almost ail the ills of the- human race have been ascribed to me by quacks and faivers and unlicensed practitioners, and et my mind is clear and 1 haven't an ache cr a pais. For six years I have been employed as a detective getting evidence against practitioners and fakers, and many times 1 lave been frightened out of my wits and my life has been threatened, but Rcmehow I like the work ahd no harm has ever come to me." Last week Henzecry. who is a brown-haired, sharpeyed little wciuan of, 29, with a pleasant GibsoneS'iue face, told in -the Adams street, court.

Warntje was held in bail for special sessions. Packed In An Ice Bag. "I went to Warntje May at the suggestion of the. County' Medical society," she said yesterday. "I limped and told him I thought I had rheumatism.

He said 'he thought so, too. and gave me a card guaranteeing ten treatments for $2). 1 gave him la." for. the first treatment, and he nt ni to a room where a young woman disrobed me and ket me under electric rays for 15 minutes. Then she put me Into a blanket hag with ice, and finally massaged till I was all a pinkish hue.

On the next visit I waa steamed and then put into a coll Llanket and massaged again. The city is fuli of these practitioners hydropaths, naturopaths, vaiio-paths and rubbers and healers of ail sorts and I am convinced that." most cf them are sincere in the belief that they dogood work and that the people who come to them really need all the queer treatments that they give.

I am afraid of these big static machines, for instance where they -place you on a glass chair under a shower of electricity because if the doctor doesn't know how to use it he will ceriously hurt you.

Threatened With Acid. "Some time ago, after sending two women practitioners to jail, I was sent to get evidence against a third, who was the sister of the other two. She had sent word- in a roundabout way that if I ever came nosing about her house she would throw carbolic ecid in my face. I usually do not wear any disguise, hut in this case, fearing that she might have a good description of me, I dressed myself en a servant girl, with a white apron, cap, black dress and with my eyebrows blacked, as so many servant flirls In fine houses do, and went to the woman.

Candidate Addams is a Jgood advertiser and our experience has been HOW THE STORM BREAKS thit the good advertiser usually gets remits, while the one who does not use printer's Ink usually becomes stranded on the shore of financial disaster. Advertising in politictt campaigns Is becoming as essential as In conynercial life, or prehaps more so. Even in the heat of summer conditions present a good appearance in Paducah.

The bank clearings show an excellent condition in the financial world; Paducah merchants all report ood business and conditions in genial are highly Every reason feel gratified over the out look and no reason to feel otherwise than optimistic. It is this strong, healthful condition in evidence in Paducah that creates a happy and contented citizenship. The approach of a thunderstorm Is something like the boiling of a kettle upon a gentle fire. At first there rs a long silence, then presently, when the steam begins to generate, a gentle murmuring is heard the kettle has begun to "sing." The sound grows louder and louder, until just before the boiling point Is reached there is another, though very brief, period of silence, and then the steam begins to hiss out at the snout, the lid rattles, and the turmoil cf the water iB heard within. So with the growing storm.

At first the long silence long, that is, an il. seems to men and beasts, for all of them feel the oppressive beav- tnncd nf tile nil RJlri lonfir for the rending of the clouds which shall set I me reiremiuig loireine nets. The silence is as heavy as the air, 6nd to men at least as hard to bear. 1 hen comes the first soft whisper of the breeze the first feeling of relief, the first comforting presentment that t.ie intolerable spell will break. The bieeze grows stronger the kettle las begun to sing Its merry tune.

Put again silence reigns the wind litis dropped; the heat is as insufferable as before. Men sigh, and say, "The storm has passed; the rain has gone elsewhere."
