UP TO THE PEOPLE.

The report of the joint committee Of
the general council on the water filtra-
tion plant is one that will doubtless
meet with the approval of the people,
who have long wanted filtered water
and have never had an opportunity to
secure it unless il is now. Il Is pro-
posed by the water company to put in
the filtration plant at no cost to the
people, and in addition to reduce the
hydrsnt rentsl to the city and save
$50, coo during the life of the fran
chise on condition that the clause Of
the franchise giving the city the right
every five years to buy the plant be
abrogsted. The repeal OF this will
enable the company to interest foreign
capital in the concern and by an in
creasing its stock raise the money nec-
essary for present needed extensions
and improvements and for those that
are certain to come within the next
few years as the city expands, thus
benef ting the city in every possible
way and absolutely depriying the peo-
pie Of nothing as it is patent to every
sensible person that the possibility of
the city's ever being able or willing
to buy he.water works is very remote
indeed. 1t is probable that the gener-
al council will order the question vot-
ed on at the November election, which
is desired by the water company, and
II it is, it will then be up to the peo-
pie to decide whether Paducah is to
have filtered water or not.

THE WEATHER.
Fair tonight and Thursday.
PAY IT ALL.

The dunghill policy Of the present
city administration in the bond ques.
tion is almost equal to reputation, OF
which their predecessors in office were
unfortunately guilty. Judge Evans of
the federal court decided that the
over-the-river bonds are legal, and
that the interest on them must be
paid. The city decided to accept the
judgment as final, and the council so
voted. The bondholders, who have
been deprived of the use of the money
that was due as interest on the bonds
for several years, are entitled to inter
est on that interest. II is Just as
much due them as the interest itself
II a man had $500 interest due him
from the city on certain date and
the city didn't pay it, he is entitled
TO interest Oh that $500, the use of
which he had been deprived of by the
CITY through no fault Of his own.
The council Monday night decided to
borrow s13, 500 and pay off the cou-
pons ION which no compound interest
Is demanded. Those on which the
compound interest is demanded will
not be psid-not now, at least. This
is skin game, II is an effort, IN
worthy Of public officials and good
business men, to bluff the holders Of
those bonds out Of what is justly due
them. 1t is equivalent to saying: "If
you'll knock off the compound inter-
est wen pay off the coupons; If you
don't we won't pay them of until we
get ready" All good citizens want
the bondholders to get the interest
that is due them, and the interest on
that interest, which has remained IN
paid for several years through the stu
pidity of 9 former Democratic council.
II the city had paid the interest when
il was due the bondholders would have
been able to invest it so it would yield
them something. II was withheld
and they should now be paid for being
deprived of its use. II the city car
get enough money to pay of the cou
pons without the compound interest
il can just as easily obtain money

Tom johnson, the political clown
who has 9 little one-ring circus over In

when Senator Mark Hanna gets
through with him. They are to dis
cuss the tariff. Senator Hanna, who
is a scholar, with none Of the idiosyn-
cracies of the Populists, thoroughly
understands the subject, but johnson,
along with most other Democrats,
knows very little about it, But he
has been strutting about SO heroically
for the past few years that he dare
not decline, and the discussion ought
TO be one Of unusual interest. Ii is
hoped Senator Hanna will let John

commendable to be too rough on q

Yesterdays registration shows that
there are many voters in Paducah
who failed to register. The Demo-
Gratis showed gains over the first days
registration last year, and the Repub-
licsns showed losses. The reason Of
this may lie in the fact that today q
Democratic primary is being held, and
it was known in advance that those
who expected to vote today had to
register yesterday, and also in the fact
that the Democratic committee has in
. measure opened the doors, and
number of persons not heretofore vot-
ing the Democratic ticket have in all
probability registered as Democrats
In order to vote in the Democratic
primaries. The fact that yesterdays
registration is short Of the first day
last year, and that the Democrats
have gained and the Republicans lost,
indicates that the above is correct,
in part at least There is no reason
why any Republican voter of Paduoah
should flop over and vote the Demo
cratic ticket, with the tax rate s1.S5
and the condition of municipal affairs
the worst ever known. With both the
city and county borrowing, and all
under Democratic rule, if the people
haven't got enough of the Democratic
gang they ought to have. The Repub-
lican party in Psduoah is now in
better condition than ever before, and
when the vote is counted in November
it will be clearly shown that the peo-
pie are not going to longer put up
with Democratic inoompetenoy and
mismsnagement in Paducah.
