RINGING OFF USELESS SLANG.
rCambridge DISPATCH

The editor of this sheet has been ta-
ken to task severely for the use OF
slang in journalistic productions. Now
the criticism is timely. We had been
considering the issue ut odd moments
and this scolding has precipitated mat
tiers. Well be dod golly woggled If we
don't decide at once to ring off. Just
watch our smoke. But all nonsense Cor
worse) aside. what deplorable habit it
is, to use slang! 1t is unrefined. If not
vulgar, is useless and weakens ones
power of expression ordinarily. And 1t
ts habit that grows unconsciously.

Paving Assessments.

IOmaHa Bee.1
The supreme court of Iowa has af-
Ifirmed the old rule of foot-front appor-
tionment of special assessments for
paving. This rule has run the gaunt-
let of courts in nearly every state In
the union and 1t is surprising that It
should be attacked by any well versed
lawyer. If it We're upset at this time
it would knock out ne-tenths of the
special assessments for street improve
ments in every city in the country.

The Paducah sun. [volume] (Paducah, Ky.) 1898-1906, 1901-01-10

The Sun has come out unequiyocal.
" for better sanitation in Paducah,
and in agitating the matter has called
attention to the death rate in ordor to
sustain the claim that there is n cry
ing necessity for better sanitation and
more attention TO the health of the
community. Those who deem this
policy unwise are free to hold and ex-
press that opinion as often as they de-
sire, but The Sun will keep up the
fight nevertheless, even il those who
prefer silence and inactivity, and the
consequent bad sanit ~ condition
that has prevailed for years past, go
to the sad extremity of moving else
where. There may be some places
where the progressive, pu bile spirited
citizens are willing TO run the risk of
being conveyed feet foremost TO the
cemetery, for the sake Of getting a
few more people TO locate in the ON
munity and make business good, but
the Sun is not willing TO admit that
Paducah is one Of them. The people
already here, the citizens, are en-
titled to the most consideration, and
should not be neglected for pros
psctive citizens. The only way to Sc
cure the ends sought after by the Sun
is to expose the rottenness Of the city S
sanitary methods. Those who are
deprecating these efforts would never
turn hand to improve the health of
their town unless some such drastic
measures were adopted They are
actuated by pure selfishness. Asked
what is their objection to the publici-
ty, and they would probably reply;
1T will make people afraid to come
here! It will keep people away"
And when asked what if it did, their
answer would probably be "snd if
you keep people from coming here,
business will not be so good. " It's
business" behind it all Tho Sun
realizes this, and is not willing to
pander to such selfish commercialism.
Let's all get together gentlemen
You realize the fact that improved
sanitation is the order of the AGES
absolutely essential to the health of
the city, and a greater inducement to
new corners than any commercial adj
vantages as to location and other ad-
vantages.
Paducah is our pride. No man loves
it more than The Sun and if we did
not think the present agitation would
prove beneficial we would not be par
ties to IT,

Pennsylvania is urging congress to
buy Valley Forge and make the his
torical grounds a national park. The
nation, has, it is we'll agreed, too long
neglected coming into possession OF
this site of the turning point in the
revolution. Years ago it could have
been bought for one-tenth tf what
it is today worth-s2O0,o 900. But as
it is never too late to do good this
great battle ground should become the
property of the government and be
made a point Of even greater interest
to the rising generation than now.
This is not only great but it is a
wealthy nation and the funds necessa-
ry to bring about the Identifying of
the grounds in question and its proper
marking are not be worthy Of a
moments consideration. Let Valley
Forge become the nations property
and let it be decorated" with the hon
ors it merits to the fullest extent.
The people will endorse this evi dence
Of patriotism so long neglected.

Hoar, Of Massachusetts; Mcmillan, Of

already being waged in Delaware
where two senators are to be elected ;
Nebraska, New Hampshire, colorado,
South Dakota, Utah, North Carolina
and Oregon. The most uncertain con-
tests are being waged in Delaware,
Illinois, Pennsylvania, Nebraska and
Now Hampshire. Delaware has a
vacancy which has outlasted two leg
islatures and the coming legislature
will elect, in addition to filling the
present vacancy, a successor to Sena-

two senators TO be elected, one TO sue

CHANGE OF CLIMATE
NOT NECESSARY IN ORDER TO
CURE CATARRH.

The popular idea that the only cure
for chronic catarrh is a change Of eli
mate is a mistake, because catarrh is
found in all climates in all sections of
the country; and even if a change Of
climate should benefit for a time the
catarrh will certainly return.
Catarrh may be really cured in any
climate, but the only way TO do IL is
to destroy or remove from the system
the catarrhal germs which cause all
the mischief
The treatment by inhalers, sprays,
powders and washes has been proven
almost useless in making a permanent
cure, as they do not reach the seat of

My nostrils were almost always
clogged up; had to breathe through
the mouth, causing an infiamed, irri-
tated throat. The thought Of eating
breakfast often nauseated me and the
catarrh gradually getting into my
stomach took away my appetite and
digestion.
My druggis. advised me to try a

Chicago papers are claiming that
the opening Of the drainage canal from
Chicago into Illinois river is placing
in the river named and also the Mis-
sissippi near its mouth gamey varie-
ties Of fish known only in the big

claim is apparent when it is remem-
bered that Lake Michigan is a great
reservoir of all the varieties of fish
common to fresh water and of some
varieties not common in other bodies
Of fresh water. In Lake Mich gan
are all the varieties of fish from brook
