THE ALL-lMPoRTANT QUESTION

Now that Western Kentucky's can
didate before the Democratic primary
has been eliminated from the race and
Paducah has therefore lost all interest
in the primary, it might be well for
our people to turn their attention to
local affairs.
1t is really of much more import
ance TO Paducah who or what manner
Of man is to be our next mayor than
who is to be Kentuoky's next COVER
nor. Paducsh is prospering in spite
of the cloud that is over Kentucky by
virtue CT the corruption of the Office
holding trust at Frankfort.
The pace Of Paducah's progress for
the next twenty years will be set by
the next city administration. The
making of Faducah is really in the
hands Of the man who is her official
head for tho next four years. 1t be.
comes the peoples duty therefore to
see 60 it that only the best men are
nominated, not only for the Office OF
mayor, but also for the membership of
the general council.
Every city in the South is putting
forth its best endeavors to attract cap
ital and secure new industries. \
number Of cities are rapidly reaching
the point where they become the re-
oognized centers for the development
of the resources of certain great dis
tricts. The establishment of new
towns becomes every year more diff
cult, and cities that fall behind will
find it increasingly harder to catch up
with their more successful rivals.
1t should be borne in mind that it is
not natural resources or geographical
location alone that bIings prosperity or
that attracts Investors. These things
are necessary, but they must lie backed
up by other things. No city can en-
joy its full measure of success unless
its people are doing all in their power
to make it healthful aud beautiful
1t is for this reason that we say that
the future of Paducah rests with the
coming administration.
Paducah needs bstter sanitation, o
filter plant that will give us clear
water, paved streets and stock law.
This is the Big Four. the attainment
of which should be the duty of the
next administration. With the attain
ment OF these four things it will be
hard to conceive Of the great strides
that Paducah Will make by the year
1910.

A SAD CASE.

The Greensboro Inquirer is a hum
orist. Commenting on the recent
slump in the number of candidates for
governor before tho Democratic pri-
mary, it lays the whole cause for in
ternal troubles of the Democratic par
ty the last few years on John X. Hen
drick and his supporters. By some
process of cssuistrg it makes the Hem
drick faction the lineal descendants Of
the Goebel crowd and the free silver
wing of tine party. 1t is pretty tough
on thu Western Kentucky Democrats
who imagined they were making a
night for purer politics to find that
they are the ones who stole the nom.
ination for governor four years age
AID who had to steal the state several
times to psrpetuate themselves in
power. Bat that Is the way the In
