Several of the books which the Out
look Company has recently published
have achieved immediate popularity.
The first edition of THE Forest, by
Stewart Edward White was exhausted
before publication and third edition is
already on the press. Hamilton w.

and Warwick Deeping's luther and
Igraine'' have each gone into second
edition.
Interesting details of Tolstoy's life in
Moscow are told by Professor Edward
A. Steiner in his work '"Tolstoy the
Man." which is to be issued by the
Outlook Company. ''Tolstoy's fayorite
walk in Moscow says the writer, was
down the river bank to the Krelm, that
mixture of church and state, of barba-
rism and civilization, that last citadel
of an absolute monarchy among civil

as is the Krelm was this frequent visi-
tor on whose footsteps fastened num-
bers of beggars from whom he never
turned away. One day, he says, he
was going to give some money to beg

butt of his gun began to drive away the
importunate fellow. Tolstoy remonstra-
ted, and asked him whether he did not

ON the bond issue. At any rate the
municipal boards in voting for the
ordinances, are assuming none of the
responsibility. and there will be no
harm in passing the ordinances calling
for vote and allowing the people in
November to say whether or not they
want to issue bonds for the improve
ments. The ordinances are only au.
thorizing a vote. and have nothing to
do with a bond issue itself. which
must be ratified by three-fourths of the
voters before il can be made.

A WISE STEP.

The amendment to the ordinance
providing for vote on the street I'm
provement bonds appears to be good
one, aud il is gratifying to learn that
the aldermen are in favor of improv-
ing tina streets right while they are at
it. No other city goes about making
street improvements in any such plea
yunisn way as undertaken by Paducah
in the $50, 900 ordinance and the
amount now agreed on by the alder
men, $4,000. is the amount first
suggested by Alderman Oscar Starks,
one of the Republican members, who
was the first to bring MP the matter
and push it in the board.
If the streets are ito be permsnently
improved, they should BE- improved in
such way as to get the best results,
and $50, 900 would hardly start the
work. With $500 IN bonds the
CITY can pave almost the entire bust
ness portion, or whatever sections are
deemed most needful of it, and Padu-
cab will tnen present a truly metro
politan appearance. the substantial
thoroughfares will DO a source of
pleasure aud pride to the entire COM
munity and the saving in repairs will
more than pay the faterest on the
bonds 1t is believed that the people

Alderman Troutman Is doubtless
right about the sewerage system. II
has never been properly attended to
lately, if reports are true, although it
sncnld be taken care of and cleaned
regularly. Because it is the biggest
public Improvement Psducah has, and
Republicans officials were the only
ones with enterprise enough to have
it built, is no reason tho other fellows
should try to ruin it through negli-
gence. They came near running the
pumping station last winter through
carelessness.

whom they do not believe to be the
best persons to whom municipal gov
eminent can be iptrusted. There used
to be time when the Democratic
papers could slyly but effectively howl
after . primary, ANY Democrat is
better than Republican" but that
time has passed. Paducab is getting
too large and too much in need of
good men at the head OF her affairs. to
have such a silly custom prevail now
Public men must stand on their rec
ords as such, or ON what they propose
to do If elected to Office. IL Is very
timely to ask the Democrats nominal
ed Thursday what they have done as
public officials for the public good If
they have ever, or are now, holding
office; or what they expect to do, if
they have never held office and want
to. II the Democrats think they can
run rough shod over the people now
as they have done in the past by mere
ly appealing to politics they are des-
tined to disappointment this year.
