OUR STREETS, SAVE THE MARK


"Paducah's streets are in shocking
oonditionl will the council do moth
ing to better them?" Psducah's Off
cial organ asks lin bold, black letters
stretching across the front page.
What can the council do now5 II
would take months to get the streets
in good condition, if there were the
slightest intention Of placing them in
good condition. But there is not. II
Democratic city councils in the past
several years had attempted to give
the city good streets, the present con-
dition would have been impossible
For years the city has wasted money
on gravel that it does not require an
expert to tell was absolutely unfit for
the streets, and now the people are
paying the fiddler. This paper has in
Dictated numberless times how good
streets can be had. Impr We those
where the heaviest hauling is done
with brick or asphalt, which would in
clude the business part of the city and
save the cost of future repairs, and put
only the best gravel on those where
the lighter traffic abounds. ''''
One statement, made presumably in
extenuation Of the present condition
Of the streets under q Democratic nd :
ministration, is that the streets are in
the same deplorable condition in which
they have been at this season every
year for 90 years. II lisa severe in
dictment of Democratic efficiency. If
the Republicans had been in power 20
years we'd be ashamed TO make such
an admission in regard to the streets.
There is no excuse for the streets be-
ing in their. present plight at any time
except that they have been neglected
and covered with worthless gravel.
The Democrats have been in power
most Of the 20 years named, and if
they could give the people good streets
they ba vent dono it, and If they can't
do it, they ought to swear off from
holding Office and let men fill their
places who can. If they have been
unable to give the city good streets
for 90 years, the inference is that they
will be just as belplessly incompetent
during the next 90 years, and the vot.
ers ought TO attend to their case this
November, and probably will do it.
During the two years Of the Repub-
lican council the city's streets were
the best in her history, because the
street roller was used on them. The
street appropriation then was about
s12, 900, and in addition to the necessa-
~ repairs, Merchandising was graveled
and the street roller was purchased.
Twenty years of "bum" streets in
Psducah under Democratic rule ought
to be enough to disgust any taxpayer.

THE DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY.

When the ballots in the state Demo
cratic primary are counted il will be-
come plain why some Of the Democrats
have so persistently fought the pri.
msry-thst is, unless some of the can
didates plead poverty aud withdraw
and thus escape defeat. At first 1t was
claimed that the primary was not GO

this time IL was known that all party
primaries must be held under the law,

be because it is impossible for the
Democrats to be fair, even towards
one another.

Many IONS of Ore Mined.

Never during the winter has SO
much ore been mined and hoisted to
surface at lake iron mines as this sea-
son. in the region about Duluth. MINI
Stock piles have been as large as now.
but the ore on ground was an accumu-
lation which several seasons. of poor
demand had helped to make. Last fall
there was very little on surface. as
shipments had about cleared up the
stocks of the previous years work
Now this newly mined ore is ready by
the millions of tons for the opening OF
lake navig Ition.

Fire Estinquisher.

Old fashioned women always pro-
vided themselves with fine gowns for
use in the possible event of being
forced to face a fire in scanty night
toilet. The modern women meet the
same possibility by storing, in con-
venient place in every room, bottles
filled with mixture made from ten
pounds of salt, five pounds of sal am
moniac and four and half gallons
of water, says the Chicago News.
Should a fire start break bottle or
two of this over the burning place.
II used in time 1t will put out a small
fire. and in any event may delay the
ravages of the flames till the engines

PARIS sANTlNe IN NEW WAY.
To Eat Cold Food Only the Latest Plan
Of Reducing Ones Weight.

The new Partisan cure for too much
flesh is to take all food. or nearly all.
cold The early breakfast OF toast
and eggs is eaten cold. and the food
is washed down with cold coffee or
milk.
At luncheon there is nothing but
cold meats and cold puddings. with
bread, cheese and salads. At night
the meal consists of only mayonnaise
of fish. cold entrees and entremets:
no hot vegetables. but perhaps. as a
bonne bouche. a hot outlet. lean, OF
course.
Many people in Paris who are In
clined to be stout. especially among
the women, are assiduously following
the new cure, and most of those who
tried it assert that they have OBJ
tained satisfactory results.

ART IN SKIRT LIFTING.

Inherent grace is no greater in
French girls than in American girls
said Nine. Baker at the national con
vention OF dressmakers. But in the
dainty art of carrying their skirts in
their hands while taking the air of
the boulevards, French girls are in
comparably superior to their Ameri-
can cousins. The secret is that the

Music an Incentive to Work.

1t was shown at the Brooklyn navy
yard the other morning that the gov
ernment's plan of having the band
play while the men are coaling a war
ship is most efficacious. While lively
two-steps and marches were being
played the blue-jackets worked like
beavers to fill the bunkers of the sup
ply-ship Buffalo. One of the officers
suggested that it would not be bad
idea for private corporations to cheer
their men on in their work by hiring
music. II nothing more than one OF

one of their little lodges for Matching
young fish is most ingenious. Taking
fresh egg they suck the contents
through a tiny hole and refill the egg
with the tiny eggs of the fish they
want to hatch. The hole is then

we are accustomed to. but 1t is very
palatable. In fact, he who likes salty
things is apt to like it better than
the other kind of bread. A physician
asked me about three months ago to
make some of this bread for his
patients At first | made six loaves

HOW HE HoHRlFrED HER.
Wife Of President HadIey Unable to
Echo His Wish.

One pleasant day last fall. so the
story goes. President Hadley of Yale
was strolling through the beautiful
campus of Dartmouth college with
his wife on his arm. They were ad-
miring the beautiful buildings which
dot the campus. several of them hav-
ing been erected by wealthy alumni.
Presently they came to an especially
noble hall. built OF stone. and occu-
pying commanding site. over the
main entrance was a marble tablet
which announced that the hall had
been erected by John C. Blank as a
memorial to his Beloved Wife"
President Hadley stood and looked
at the noble pile for a moment. Then
he heayed sigh that was almost en-
vious.
'Ah." he said. that is what
should like to do for my college"
And to this day. the boys declare.
President Hadley cannot understand
wny his wife should have looked SO
horrified.-St. Louis Mirror.
