Went Bankrupt for $50. 80.

Owensboro. Ky. April 22.-One of
the most remarkable petitions in
bankruptcy ever filed in the state
was lodged in the federal court here
today. The remarkable thing about
the petition is that the petitioners
total Indebtedness is only 60 cents
larger than the filing fee paid by
him to say nothing of attorney fees
and other costs. The petitioner Is

Storm Water Sewerage Must BE Built
On jefferson and Kentucky BE-
fore Pavemepts Can he
Put Down.
THE rosrs MUST DE MOVED

II has been learned that not even
the sidewalks on jefferson street and
Kentucky avenue can be built, as
things now stand All the other
prospective street improvements for
the summer, as already well known
have been suspended indefinitely be-
cause of the street car company's suit
against the city.
The legislative boards, with their
usual ignorance as to what they were
doing, proceeded to push the ordi-
nance for the sidewalks on Jefferson
street and Kentucky avenue, think
ing that these would not be affected
in any way by the car company's
suits, but IL has now been ascertain
ed that even these sidewalks cannot
be built, and City Engineer Washing
ton will take no steps to prepare
plans for them.
The reason is that the storm water
sewers have to be put down before
the sidewalks. These storm water
sewers are built under the sidewalks
and have smaller pipes reaching out
towards the yards along the line.
The storm water sewerage was pro-
vided for In the ordinance for the
reconstruction of the street proper,
and the reconstruction of the street
was stopped few nights ago, so
no storm water sewers can be built
until the street has been built, and
there is no telling when the street
will be built.
AS it would be foolish to build a
concrete sidewalk and then in a few
months come along and tear It up to
put down storm water sewerage, the
board of works sees what mistake
was made and Engineer Washington
will not prepare plans for the side
walks until the storm water sewerage
is built.
These sidewalks were the only inn
provements out of all those contem-
plated from the bond issue, which
were not held up by order of the leg
islative boards few nights ago, and
now these must be denied the peo-
pie.
A great many complaints are be-
ing made in regard to having to take
down posts on the sidewalks, but the
board of works does not mind the
kicks. They ordered the telephone
and telegraph poles off Broadway,
and say that these were of vastly
more use and benefit than awning
aud sign posts. which are a benefit
to individuals. but not to the public
One member said today: eve don'i
want TO cause anyone hardship OF
loss. but II is best for the public that
these awning and sign posts be taker
from the sidewalks, no matter how
much 1t cost a citizen to put then
there or will cost him to take then
down. What We want Is to clear th'
pavements, especially in the business
part of the city,"

An idle person, without visible
me ans of support, in law is termed
vagIant. And the law provides that
all vsgrants shall be arrested and fined
and put to work. A gambler, who
does nothing else for a living is
vagrant. A woman of the town, -
who phys that most degrading and
degraded OF all vocatlons, for living,
is a vagrant And the law is just as
plain against these Migrants as it is
against thieves or incendiaries or muir
derers. Ano if the law was earnestly
aud rigidly and properly enforced,
without partiality, fear, favor or let
up, all these vagrants-the very last
one Of them, could be run out OF town.
But it seems impossible to get the law
enforced as it should be, against white
a nd black, every day and all the time.
We should like to see the coming
municipal campaign made upon the
issue of Law Enforcement, and have
the new Board pledged to the strict
enforcement of every law on the
statute books. But we 90 not expect
to see it. The people en- masse do not
care that much about public morals.

THE LAW-AN AVENUE TO
USEFULNESS

So many young men turn their at
tentlon to the law that it may seem
unnecessary to add word of encour-
agement. Whenever a hoy shows
aptitude in public speaking or fond
ness for debate he is generally advised
to study law. as If felicity of expression
were the only requirement at the bar
and useful nowhere else
Speaking is an important part of the
lawyer's work in most cases, but only
a part, and In country like ours every
citizen should he able to hear an hon
orable part in public discussion. No
one should enter the law with the idea
that 1t affords a means of making
money easily. Success at the bar is
impossible without great and long
continued LABOR.
Neither should one enter the pro-
fession believing that reputation for
cunning and trickery will prove pei
manently profitable God has linked
indissoluly together virtue and reward.
The lawyer who spends a lifetime
trying to obscure the line between
right and wrong not only grows weakt r
in character day by day, but he at
last finds that he has lost the power to
discriminate between right and wrong.
The lawyer. on the other hand, who
spends lifetime in the search for
truth, determined to follow where it
leads, grows stronger in character year
by year, and his advice grows con-
stantly more valuable because the
power to discern the truth increases
with the honest search for it.
Just now there is crying need for
lawyers who, squirting the brides OF
corporate power, viii protect the

URGES CONSTRUCTION

tative Of the Sacramento Valley DeveI-

He called upon Secretary of the In

the part of the association. which rep
resents the twelve counties in the val
ley their great anxiety to have the de-
partment construct at an early date Ir-
rigation works under the terms of the
national reclamation act.
Mr.. Beard emphasized the advantages
of the Sacramento valley for irrigation.
and the strong desire of the people
there for the completion of the surveys
and immediate construction of por-
ton of the work
The surveys for this scheme have been
under way for the past six years. The
Secretary and Director OF the United
States Geological Survey Walcott lis
tened 10 Mr. Beard with great atten-
tion. and assured him that the Sacra-
meto valley surveys will be continued
and that the facts presented on behalf of
this large association will receive care
