river gets quite high here very often,
and that when it does it backs around
against these fills. 1t is equally plain
that the water in such instances
quickly, unless the proper protection
is provided, eats into the banks and
causes the fills to wash away and col
lapse. Yet little protection for these
new fills has ever been provided by
the city, with the result that much
additional work and expense will now
have to be incurred to replace them.
II this had been done last summer or
the summer before there would have
been little OF no damage or expense

WE NEED GOOD MEN

Gov. John Marshall, in the banquet
ing hall Of the Louisville hotel a few
nights ago, made an address that
would do anyone with the interest Of
his home city at heart good to read.
One thing he said was: 1.-The prob
lens of municipal government are be-
ing discussed and sgitated in every
city in the country. In many remark
able and radical changes have been
made. In this city we have body
OF enterprising, self-saorifioing citizens
who have never failed to respond to
such call. A situation confronts US
now. and it is the duty of every good
citizen to respond.
at matters not how many laws you
place upon the statute books, they
cannot be enforced unless the men
charged with Their enforcement are
jealous and earnest in the perform
ance of their duty.
1.-THE time is now approaching
when we must obtain men Of charac-
ter, experience and ability to accept
Office from high sense of public duty.
These cannot be secured If narrow
and proscriptive policy is adopted. A
broad and united effort, appealing to
tine best interests Of the community,
will surely produce this result and en-
able the people to express their con-
demnation of the present abuses and
their adherence of those which only
q few years ago threatened to destroy
eelf.government. II such an end
could only be obtained Louisville
would move forward with no uncer-
tain strides and exercise . most bene-
ficent influence in the upbuilding and
regeneration of the state Of Ken

The same will no doubt apply to

I The sewerage system in Paducsh b
has been in operation long enough to
establish its excellence, and the pump
ing station, which was built according
to plans and under the supervision Of
men who doubtless were traineo TO
know more about such things than
any of Paducsh's office holders, is
doubtless able to do what ii was built
tor, IL any pains were taken to use it
aud keep 1t in proper condition. The
pumping station is no more of q
white elephant" on the hands of
the city than anything else that in
competent or negligent officials do not
know how or do not desire to use.
The original intention was not to let
it fill up with water and the machin-
cry become SO submerged that it could
not be run when 1t was needed most.
The pump. as any mechanic will ties.
tify. has ample capacity for pumping
ali the sewage out of the we'll into the
river il the water is so high the sew
age will not run out. II the pump hat

well would not have OVERLOOKED AM
covered the machinery so it could no
be run, and there would now be nj
trouble or no prospect Of trouble owe

high water.

A Democrat of Grayson county is

fer charges against Fireman Watch
man Walter Mercer of the government
building, IN connection with the re-
cent fire which damaged the elevator.
After the fire, in accordance with the
custom Of the department, Custodian
Fisher was ordered to make q report
in regard to the cause OF it, and IL
seemed from all information proour-
able that the fire resulted from sparks
near one OF the electrical apparatus
on the third floor, igniting the oil
and sawdust in pan placed under the
machine. The department. evidently
thought, after reading the report. that
the Waterman should have known bet
ter than to place sawdust near the
sparks to catch the dripping oil, and
forwarded instructions TO prefer
charges, leaving the custodian no
choice.
These are the second charges prefer
red against Mr.. Mercer, former
charge having been for certifying to

weighed. and being adjudged in fault,
for which ne received reprimand
