WHY WASTE TIME?

TIE municipal boards would posi-
bly, accomplish great deal more good
for the city if they would take up and
sensibly dispose of the bond issue and
provide for the street improvements
to be made this year, instead of vast
ing time in trying to have the second
class city charter modelled to suit Pa
ducah. A number of changes might
be made which would rebound to the
good OF the city, but any sensible per-
son ought to be able TO see that it will
be a waste of time to try to have them
made. The legislature is not going
30 change the charter to suit Paducah
when there are three larger and more
powerful cities than Paducsh govern
ed BY the charter; these cities had
the charter fixed as it is, and so far as
any one knows instead of wanting
changes made, would oppose such
changes and undoubtedly keep them
from being made.
No, gentlemen, the thing for Padu-
cab to DO is to grow up to the charter,
not try to have the charter shaved
down to fit Paducah. II is true Pa.
ducah is little shy now in her prop
erty valuations and finds it harder to
pay the expenEes Of q second class
government than the other second
class cities, but in time, with TIE pro.
per energy and the election to Office
of men who will eoonomize and see
shat every person pays his just share
of taxes, the fault will be remedied
without display of such arrogance as
asking the legislature to change the
charter to suit the demands Of PAdu.

SONGS OF THE DAY.

THE REWARD OF SERVICE.
The sweetest lives are those to duty
wed
Whose deeds both great aud small,
Are close knit strands of an unbroken
thread, o
Where love ennobles all,
The world may sound no trumpets,
ring no bells;
The Book of Life the shining RECORD
tells.
Thy love shall chant its own beati
tudes
After its own life working. A child's
kiss ts-t
Set on thy singing lips shall make thee
glad;
A poor man served by thee shall make
thee rich;
A sick man helped by thee shall make
thee strong;
Thou shalt be served thyself by every
sense
Of service which thou renderest.

CLIMATIC CURES.

The influence Of climatic conditions
in the cure of consumption is very
much overdrswn. The poor patient,
and the rich patient, too can do much
better at home by proper attention TO
food digestion, and regular use of
German Syrup. Free expectoration in
the morning is made certain by Ger
man Syrup, so is . good nights rest
and the absence of that weakening
cough and facilitating night sweat.
Restless nights and the exhaustion
due to coughing, the greatest danger
and dread of the consumptive. can be
prevented or stopped by taking Ger
man Syrup literally and regularly.
Should you be able to 20 to warmer
cline. you will find that Of the thous-
ands Of consumptives there, the few
who are benefited and regain strength
are those who use German Syrup.

1t does not seem exactly fair to CON-
denim Senator DIETRICH until he has
had trial. While . teohnicality is
what he secured his acauittal on, q
technicality may not be his only
defense. When a mans liberty is at
stake in court the quickest way to es-
cape the uncertainty Of courts and ju-
ries is often the best way, hence
svailing oneself of a technicality Is
not always a sign of guilt. Senator
DIETRICH voluntarily returned to Ne
braska to stand trial, and has since
asked for full senatorial investiga-
tion, which would have a much wider
scope than court trial He has not
acted like man guilty of grating,
although it may be he is guilty rs his
accusers charge.

The danger of war between Russia
and Japan, from the most reliable re-
ports, seems to be over. There could
be but one result Of such war, in the
opinion of those who know about such
things, and that would be the defeat
of Japan, although Japan seems to
have the best of it so far as sympathy
is concerned. Ii would be as foolish
to suppose japan can whip Russia as
to suppose Spain or some other small
nation could whip the United States.
With sentiment discarded it seems
very fortunate for japan that she has
thus far escaped a war with one of the
greatest fighting nations in the world.

New York, Feb. 12.-The Japanese
troops landed at GenGan are intended
to operate with the troops that have
now been successfully landed at Ping
Yang on the opposite side of Korea,
says World dispatch from Kobe,
Japan.
These two forces constitute Japan's
second line of defense against those
Russians who are marching over the
Yalu' into Korea.
: first line of defense has been ar
ranged. 1t is composed OF picked
troops who are lined up along the
south bank of the Yalu. 1t is, how
ever, considered most unlikely that
this army will reach it's destination
IN time to intercept the invading Rus
SLAMS. The second line may fail to
hold the invaders, in which case it is
expected that land battle would take
place not far from Seoul.
In any case, these Japanese prepa-
ratiaons are made with a view of clos
