The people of Daviess county have
administered a rebuke to salary grab
beers in office. An Owensboro dispatch
says: at has been the custom in this
county for several years for the fiscal
court to elect the county Judge road
and bridge commissioner at salary
of 81, 200 q year. The county judge
then appointed the magistrates dis
trict road and bridge commissioners
at SO a day. There has been much
complaint on account of the system, it
being charged that the roads went
from bad to worse and tn 9 people got
othing for their money" The peo-
pie became tired of it and finally
three hundred nm tied and filed a petit
ton asking that such acts be held H.
legal and the courts yesterday SO held
and denied the right of the county
officials to draw the pay Of two officers.
II officials were treated this way ev-
cry time they attempted to impose on
the public. there would be . very en-.
couraging improvement in public SER

where, no matter how much other
people may be imposed on. Redwine,
Hargis, ct al may be little worse
than the average run of Democratic
oiiiceholders, but they have little
worse than the average run of human
ity as constituents ana they have to
pander to them or lose their jobs, and
if there is anything a Democratic
officeholder streEuously objects to, 1t
is losing his job, hence it is in bad
taste for one Democratic officeholder to
say such mean things about another.
1t would bshoove these good little
Democrats to get out and do some
thing towards impeaching Redwine,
Hargis and so forth, instead Of merely
saying it ought to be done. Demo
Gratis put them in office, and Demo
Gratis are the governing authority in
the county and state. 1t is not talk
that counts in such cases.

GET RID OF THE PESTS.

II has been demonstrated to the
satisfaction of all those who under
stand such things that oil poured on
sloughs, ponds and other mosquito
breeding places kills them and quickly
frees the locality from the pests. As
result oil is being used in many
cities and summer resorts as a means
for thinning out and exterminating
mosquitoes, which are not only very
annoying. but it has also been demons
trated by science are dangerous be-
cause of the disease germs with which
they inoculate persons whom they
bite.
In Louisville the health officer, who
seems to be thoroughly onto his job,
has started crusade against mos
quitoes. and has enlisted the assist
ance of both city and county authori-
ties. He was furnished with crude
oil to pour on the stagnant ponds in
side the city, and his experiments
were so successful in slaughtering the
young mosquitoes in infancy that
fiscal court met and appropriated
money enough to supply the ponds
outside the city limits with coating
of oil, twenty-five barrels being pur-
chased. 1t is estimated that one bar
rel will cover water surface of five
acres. By making a combined fight
upon the mosquitoes at this time of
the year, when the eggs are Matching,
the Louisville doctors believe that
they can rid the locality of the insects
to large extent Immediately, and
after Sc seral years campaign against
chem can practically wipe than out.
Owing to the sloughs. gravel pits,
ponds and even cutters OF Paducah a
few dollars invested in crude oil would
doubtless add to the comfort of many
neighborhood now infested with mos
uuitoes which were bred and are still
bred daily IN these pits and pools.
The plan does not cost much, requires
very little work and the results are
said to be we'll worth trial in any
community. 1t is hoped the modern
method Of doing away with the mos
Quito will become popular in Padu-
cab
