members of ii signed a report that
was incorrect, and doubtless did It
without investigating its correctness.
In ten minutes they could have as.
certained If the recspitulations were
correct, and the fact that they did
not shows that they signed the re-
port as a perfunctory duty, and pro-
baby gave it no thought before or
after.
As stated before, there is no ex-
cure for a competent bookkeeper, and
painstaking public officer, to make
mistake Of $4,000 in the figures of
six months, especially If that official
is an expert" sometimes employed
to correct the mistakes Of those less
capable than himself who held office
before him. It is hoped that the
duties Of back tax collector did not
cause the error, and is respectfully
suggested that the clerk be given an
other assistant.
The people who objected to the $500
extra expense for an assistant are be-
ginning to feel that probably the
clerk really needed one.

ARE OUR BOOKS WELL KEPTp

Attention has been called to the
loose and incompetent methods OF
transsoting the city's business in Pa.
ducah until the people are perhaps
thoroughly convinced that very fire.
quently the wrong man is found in
office. Another grave official error is
exposed in another place, which should
arouse the people to the necessity Of
insisting on accurate public officials
in positions Of importance.
1t shows apparently that there is =
discrepancy Of over %, 900 in the re-
port Of the fipsnce committee of the
general council, and the city's books.
The report was presumably prepared
by the administration int.Ilibls city
clerk, who was employed Of extra pay
soon after he went into ONCE TO "cor-
rect the errors" of his predecessor,
and subsequently rewsrdsdl with
$500 assistant.
A mistake of $4,000 is eatirely too
large to be made by any oompeent
bookkeeper or any public officer, no
matter whom he may be- 1t shows
ignorance or earelessness. II would
have been juss Is easy for me Official
who prepared that report, whoever he
was, to have gone to the city reports
of the auditor and treasurer and lind
out that they did not tally, as it has
been for The Sum The mot that it
was not dons indicates that the CITY
clerk needs another as sist.nt, and that
assistant should be 8 om2etent book
keeper.
This is not the fir st mistake that
has been made since & he slerk finished
his arduous work Of correcting the err
rors OF the clerk who came before. II
has not been so very long ago that the
school board was overpsid thousand
dollars or more of the eity's money,
and il the mistake had not been dis
covered when it was, end than by
outsiders, and the cheek returned be-
fore the school board paid cat the
money, serious complications might
have arisen before the error could be
corrected.

not entirely free from blame. The

THE COW VOTE MONDAY.

Every public spirited citizen in
Paducah should go to the polls Mon
day and cast . vote for better and
cleaner city. in which the town COW
is relegated to the back yard. The
general council, which didn't have
backbone enough itself to decide the
question, has referred IL to the peo-
pie. Rather than do what common
sense ought to teach is best for
the greatest number, the council
concluded TO make the taxpayers stand
the expenses Of an election.
The COW question has always been a
perT'exing one in Paducah, because q
few COW owners, whenever an effort
W. made to force them to keep their
at, up, raised such q howl that q
gre many public officers were afraid
to vote for such an ordinance. They
were afraid they would lose 4 vote or
two, or q few dollars worth of bust
ness. Counoilmen always have an eye
to business, even to this good day.
This result has been that Paducah,
thriving city Of over 10000 people
and the metropolis of Western Ken
tpcky, and the third city in the state,
II NO. the second. still allows COWS to
roam at vii, throughout the city, to
,disfgure the streets, deflle the side
walks, devastate citizens yards and
make themselves . general nuisance.
They roam through the street, even In
the business portion Of town. and
the only attention they pay to cars
and trains is to look disdainfully as
kunoe ct them when they stop to allow
the bovines to get of the track, which
is done to keep from having to pay .
damage claim.
The so-called friends Of the COWS
claim that to keep them up would be
imposing a hardship on many poor
people. The assessors books show
that there are only four cows assessed
in Paducah. The people who think so
much of their cows ought to be honest
enough to give them in for taxation
There are certainly not more than q
few hundred COWS in the city at the
most, although many people have been
frequently induced to think from tine
looks of their premises when they
arise in the morning that there are
twice that many. A majority OF the
people do not own cows, and those
who do have no right to put their
own interests and desires above those
of the majority. Anyone in Paduoah
can own just as many COWS under
the ordinance proposed to be passed
AS he can now. The only thing sought
