OF people from all parts of the state.
In his address Governor Odell said
that capital and labor should be In

be no legislation which seeks to adj

RUMOR REVIVED
The Illinois Central May Build Into
the Iron District.
New Line May Extend From jackson,
Tenn, to Birmingham.

The presence in Birmingham Of j.
7. Harahan, first vice president of the
Illinois Central railroad, Ievives ru-
NOR that that road will build into
Alabama and into the Birmingham
district. Mr.. Hsrshan went to Birm-
ingham in his private car from New
Orleans, which was attached to an en-
CINE on the Birmingham Belt railroad,
and the official was shown the latter
road. While Mr.. Hsrahan refuses to
talk, IL is understood that the Illinois
Central seeks admittance to the Birm-
ingham district and will use the Belt
as terminals. Several months ago
the Frisco system purchased the Belt
property, but it was announced that
the property will not be used to
prevent any other line from coming
into the district. It is figured that the
Illinois Central will build from Jack
son, Tenn, TO Sheffield, thence to
Birmingham, through Walker county.
The trip around the Belt railroad is
considered as significant.

rate was collected including money
for the first tive months Of the last
levy, and yet with the $780, 900 col
lected from the last levy, the city is
now heavily in debt. and it is claimed
that even with the maximum tax rate
again this year, will be unable to pay
its obligations and make any improve
ments in the city.
The only question concerning the
light plant is, can the city provide the
means for making it what 1t should
be. II she can, why doesn't she do
it9 II she cannot, what reasonable
objection can there be to placing the
light plant in the hands of some one
who can and will run it right II it has
to be EARNED out" in order to give
the people good lights the people will
doubtless say, "Then let it be 'farmed
outi' All they want is better light.
There is no necessity for the city's dis
posing of the plant. Ii can simply
lease il and take charge of il again
when it is in a better position to do
so. It is not q question of municipal
ownership, but OF getting better
lights. No one has suggested, so far
as is known, that the light plant be
sold.

THE REPUBLICAN COUNCIL.

II is urged against the Republican
council that held office in Paduoah sew
eral yeas ago, that it gave away SO
far as the city was concerned, the fran
chise for the belt line on the river
front a franchise that was worth
thousands Of dollars and increasing
in value every year. 1t also favored
the water company by changing a
franchise voted by the people IN re.
gard to dead ends. 1t favored the
street railway in reducing the license
tax ON rolling stock in the face Of q
signed acceptance of the original price
fixed which that company agreed to
pay the city for an extension OF its
franchise. In every instance valuable
concessions were granted the corpora.
tions, and not a penny went into the
city's treasury for those grants"
This may all be true. The belt line
spoken of WIS an extension of the ILL
nois Central railroad tracks to manu-
featuring and wholesale centers that is
an advantage to the merchants and
shippers and in that way benefit TO
the city. 1t cost the city nothing,
has deprived no citizen of any of the
rights he previously enjoyed and has
in a great measure saved the streets
from the wear and tear of heavy haul
ing. The streets and alleys traversed
are still as free to any citizen as they
were before and if there is any danger
from trains or any blockades of thor
.oughfares the railroad company is
;amenable to the law, and il il in
fringes on any ones right is RESPONSE
BILE. The people may not at all times,
for instance when train or engine
is on the track, have as much room
in the street as before, but no one
is entitled to the whole street, and
1t seems plain that the advantages
TO the commercial interests of the
city have been such as to fully jus
tify the granting of the franchise to
the railroad company to make an ex-
tension Of that character. The city
gave $1,000 to get one railroad to
come here, and on the same principle
could consistently grant franchise
for g extension which is as much for
the benefit Of merchants ana other
Taxpayers as for the railroad company,
and which gives them benefits they
would not have enjoyed but for the
Republican council.
The change in the water company's
franchise mentioned was made for the
purpose of securing extensions Of wa
ter mains to rapidly expanding out
skirts. The people needed and de-
msnded water, and the water company
would not make the extensions because
the law mad been construed by Demo
cra.s in office to mean that there could
be no dead ends, land without dead
ends'' no extensions could be made
The Democrats IN Office for two OF
three years failed to persuade or com
Del the water company to make any
extensions, which they ought to have
done if the water company could
have been forced to do it. II the wa
ter company could have been O m

All talk of municipal ownership is
absurd when the municipality has
been stocking its light plant with sec
ond hand machinery and putting mp
secondhand lamps that have been cast
aside by other cities. This is fair
sample of the business methods that
have prevailed under Democratic ad-
ministrations in Psducah. The city
under the last administration paid
5000 for a dynamo that one of the
oounoilmen himeslf admits proved to
be worth less than $500. AS long as
this sort of thing goes on, it is foolish
to talk of the city trying to own any
thing except few blockhead officials,

explain why they keep their most

Capt. J. ]. Slack Tor District Attorney

In this issue of the SENTINEL will
be found the announcement of Capt.
J. J. Slack for District Attorney, for
this district. 1t Is unnecessary for
US to attempt to tell the people of
this district OF Capt. Slack's qualifi-
cations for this important, Office, as
he has served as district attorney at
one or more terms of court in most of
the counties composing the district,
and is we'll known in nearly every
county in the district. He served one
term as district attorney of the old
third district, having been elected
over some OF the ablest and best law
yers in the district, and made splen-
did record, having proven himself a
vigorous and successful prosecutor of
those guilty OF crime, whether high
or low, and without fear or favor. On
account OF change in the judicial
districts during his term Of office, he
and Hon. E. +. Noel, who was then
serving his first term in the old fifth
district, were thrown into the same
district, and Mr.. Noel having the
larger number of his old counties in
the new district, Capt. Slack with
drew in his favor, feeling that he was
best entitled to reelection, and he
now asks the people of the district to
give him another term of the office.
Capt. Slack was a brave confederate
soldiers a true Democrat, a good
citizen and an accommodating gentle
man.
We feel that the people of the dis
trict cannot make mistake in choos-
ing Capt. Slack for this Office, as his
past record is guaranty of his quail
tications and fitness for the place.

we could see and hear, we have no

occasion. He made a profound and
