plays havoc with the street. Some
of these wagons have two or three

streets. where repairs aud wear and

take up too much room and are in

gravel wagon came down Third
street and the driver deliberately at

a street car. and laughed impudently
when the motorman almost jerked
his head of reversing the car and
putting on the brakes to keep from
running into him. These cumber-
son vehicles have no business in the
downtown section. and should be
made to keep out except in cases of
necessity.

Even Cairo Is willing TO admit
how much Paducah's brick streets
improve her appearance. Tojay's
Bulletin says: Several hundred
Cairoites spent yesterday in Padu-
cab. Everyone of them came back
talking about 'Paducah's paved
streets VIII all our citizens, those
who stay at home and
never go anywhere, draw the moral
from this? There is nothing in the
world that attracts the eye of a Wis
itor SO much as pretty streets and
clean streets. Paducah has them.
Why not Cairo?"

MATERIAL FOR PANAMA.

The wall from John Sharp Will
liams and other demscrats over the
announced intention of the admins
tration at Washington to secure ma
terial for Panama canal where 1t can
be bought the cheapest, will be taken
for what II is worth. They are bound
to shed a few crocodile tears one
way or the other.
If Secretary Taft had announced
that the government was going to
buy Panama material exclusively
from American companies. ignoring
the cost. these democrats would have
howled just as loudly and declared
that the government was allowing
itself to be robbed by the trusts" As
IL is, the administration is going to
save the government all the money
possible, and buy where 1t can get
the best for its money. This has
nothing to do with the tariff II sim
ply means that If American goods are
not bought for the canal, it will be
because American firms do not bid
low enough. No one claims that
American goods are cheaper than
any other. They are not. They are
higher, as a rule. because labor In
this country is paid well. and that in
other countries is hardly paid at all.
That's one reason II became necessary
to place a tariff on foreign goods To
protect American industries and
American workmen.

If there is anybody who could be expected
to save it ought to be the bookkcepcr. His
work is such that he has a continual example
before him of the values, even the necessity,
of keeping strict account of money transac-
tons.
He sees continually the bad results Of loose
unbusincsslikc cash transactions, and seeing
this as he does, it is surprising that he should
not conduct his individual money affairs with
the same care and attention that he exercises
over the business of another.
Relations with a bank make for stable and
conservative money transactions. The amount
of form necessary to be observed makes it
practically a form of bookkeeping. Let this

PENSION FUND.
Proposed for School Teachers Who
Have Outlived Usefulness.

Louisville, Ky, Dec. l9.-Disposi-
ton of teachers in the public schools
who have outlasted their usefulness
yet have given the better part of
their lives to the service and are de-
pendent on their salaries. is ques-
ton that is proving embarrassing to
the Louisville school board, and al
ready the Jefferson county members
of the legislature have been approach
ed on the subject of securing the pas
sage of pension measure.
An investigation brought to light
the fact that of the $50 teachers in
the public schools exclusive of the
night schools. over 200 have been
teaching 20 years, and about rs have
been in the schools quarter of. a
century. Three have been teaching
so years.
I'VE are getting to place." said
a school trustee yesterday, where We
must choose between sacrificing the
interests of the pupils and commit
ting an apparently inhumane actf in
discharging teachers who have per-
formed excellent services in the pub
lie schools, but have become almost
hindrance to the progress of their
departments"

George Sidney and his big compa
ny of comedians, dancers and singers
is announced for an appearance at
The Kentucky tonight. Something
new in musical comedy, possessing
the titular handle of Busy Izzy's
Vacation" will serve as the vehicle
for this merry little comedians tour
this season. While il is in a way,
along the line of all Sidney's exhib-
its of solid fun. yet the advantages
gained in past successful experience
and the ardent study of the public
demands for genuine humor, devoid
of all impurities, has encouraged an
extraordinary effort in tho eonstruc-
tion of the new musical production
This year the cast embraces some OF
the leading artists of musical come
dy. The chorus is a marvel of beau
ty and training, the costumes expen
sive, new and novel in design, and
the scenery appropriate and artistic.
In fact, Busy Izzy's Vacation" can
readily be classed as a musical pro-
duction equal to any of recent date.

FACIAL MASSAGE AND SCALP @@# Y. TREATMENT.

Attention is called to the advertise ment in another column of Mary E. Lengel, whose establishment, situated at $40 Chapel street, room No. 6, Hu- binger building, is the leading one of its kind in this state. The ladies are very pronounced in their appreciation of the wonderful results of the treatment at that place. Facial massage and scalp difficulties are treated with unfailing success: also manicuring. The prepa- rations sold by Miss Lengel are very superior and have received the endorse ment of leading physicians. Miss Len- gel treats all those who have made or will make appointments, and cor1pe- tent and skilled assistant will treat all ladies who call without previous notifi- cation.
