Ordinance Passed Does Not Set.
tie the Gate Question.
Separate Measures Must be Passed for
Each Crossing.

The general ordinance passed last
night by the BOARD Of Aldermen re-
garding the speed of railroad trains in
the city, etc, does not settle the cues
tion Of gates at public crossings. That
portion of the ordinance relative to
the automatic gates simply specifies
that the railroad shall put up gates at
all crossings hereafter designated.
No crossings have thus far been
designated, and when an effort is made
to have ten or more Of the gates in.
sailed, there will be q fight in the
Loards.
The ordinance passed last night has
to be passed again by the aldermen
and twice by the council.
1t will then be necessary to bring
in separate ordinances for each gate
desired. Il is impossible to predict
how many this will be. The commit
tee will reoomm end ten, but many of
the members of the boards object, and
are in favor of only one or two. One
member said today:
II have heard a few members talk
ing about public sentiment being in
favor of the gates. 1 don't think any
man can tell what public sentiment is
for in this case. A few, or perhaps as
many as . hundred or two, may have
expressed themselves to some member
or members in favor of 1t, leading
them to think it is public sentiment,
but there are thousands of other
people here who have not been heard.
| shall vote for what think pest, no
matter what outside people may APP
pear to think about 1t. ! believe we
are here to use our own judgment, aud
not TO guess at what public senti-
ment' is. don't see where the gates
would be any improvement over the
present fsgmsn, and will vote against
more than two or three Of them.

CHINESE NEW YEAR
1T FALLS IN ABOUT TEN DAYS.
NO CELEBRATION HERE.

The Chinese New Year, according
to local Celestisls, will fall this year
on Monday, February is. In cities
having an extensive Chinese popula-
ton, there will be elaborate celebra-
tions, but in Paducsh there will be
none, further than a holiday for the
employees of the laundries.
There was never but one celebration
of the anniversary here, and that was
several years ago. Since then the
Chinese here have never undertaken a
public demonstration in honor Of their
new year.

POWER OF HEALTH BOARDS.

The court of appeals has just rem
dered two decisions that will have a
powerful effect in the state hereafter
during epidemics, especially of small
pox.
A great many people have long con-
tended that no one has right to tear
them or their families away from home
and incarcerste them in a pest
house" They declared this was an
infringement on the rights of freeborn
American citizens, and while they
could always find plenty of lawyers to
agree with them, when there was fee
in sight, )members of health boards al
ways contended that the constitution
and laws of Kentucky practically give
health boards unlimited power and au-
thority In cases of epidemic, or threat
ened epidemic.
The court of appeals has just decid-
cd in favor of the health boards. II
was case taken up from Covingtnn,
KY, in which person sued for S.
900 for alleged injuries received by be-
ing taken to the pest house while suf-
fering from smallpox. The lower
court sustained the action of the health
authorities and the court of appeals
has affirmed thus holding that city
has . right to remove any one to a pest
house when it is deemed necessary by
the health authorities, no matter
whether their judgment turns out to
be good or bad.
In another case almost similar the
court on the same day decided that no
damages fer either injuries or death
car be secured by reason of persons be-
ing taken to a pest house, or smallpox
farm, by the proper authorities. An
administrator in Franklin county sued
the city Of Frankfort for $40, 900 dam
ages for the death of man on a small
pox farm, but the lower court decided
in favor of the city, and the appellate
court affirps. 1t holds that such &C.
tion against q city in case Of epidemic
eannot be maintained.
This seems to settle tho case, and
settle 1t right. While the principle
adopted by the appellate court may in
some instances be the cause of hard
ship and humiliation to individual cit.
liens, it becomes necessary in cases
where the health of a whole commu-
nifty may be ieopardized by epidemic.
Some person or persons should have
unlimited power i'll the prevention or
stamping out Of disease. This may be
tad for few, but it is intended to be

"DO IT TODAY. "

The time worn injunction, Never
put off til tomorrow what you can do
today" is now generally presented in
this form: "Do it todsy!' That is
the terse advice we want to give on
about that hacking cough or democrat
izing cold with which you have been
struggling for several days, perhaps
weeks. Take some reliable remedy
for il today--and let that remedy be
DR.. Boschee's German Syrup, which
has been in use for over thirty five
years. A few doses of 1t will un-
doubtedly relieve your cough or cold,
and its continued use for a few days
will cure You completely. No matter
how deep seated your cough, even if
dread consumption has attacked your
lungs, German Syrup will surely effect
a cure-as it has done before IN thous-
snds of apparently hopeless cases of
lung trouble. New trial bottles, 25c;
regular size, 75o. At all druggists.

Well, we'll! Isn't the distinguished
president Of the board Of aldermen get
ting SOLICITORS Of Democracy rather
suddenly? What's in the wind? The
advisability of q Republican taking a
place on the board of public works and
being made partly responsible for the
Yeiser administration, which promises
TO be about rs bad as other Democrat
ic administrations, lie not quite clear,
in our opinion, but il he wants to take
the chances, it is his privilege. Mo.

pointment of a Republican on the

An Greensboro man is worked up be-
cause he can't find any good" white
boys to work for him. He complains
that all he can find smoke cigarettes
and are fond Of the streets. The Ow-
ensboro gentleman probably wants a
well educated, energetic, courteous boy
to work about 12 hours day for q
dollar or two q week. Naturally one
ia hard to get. The truth is that oil
bows ought to be in school up to GER
tain age. In some instances Is is i'm
possible for them to go to school, but
in most cases it is not, but they all
ought to be, whether they are or not.
The most available boys for work dur
ing school months are those who do
not want to 90 to school and whose
parents, il they have any, do not make
them. These boys have not had, as a
rule, the raising to make good, honest
boys for work. A good man, howev-
er, should not want to take the good
boys this Owensboro man complains
he cannot get, out of school. He ought
to have more consideration for their
future.
