We will never have a town Mt to liy,
in until we do"
This state of affairs is to be de-
plored, particularly as 1t can be
helped. The public money wasted in
Paducah is all spent honestly, no
doubt but nevertheless in a prodlgal,
needlessly extravagant way. During
August the official report shows that
s33,g12 was paid out by the city In
year over s225,OOO is collected in
taxes and licenses. and spent in the
same reckless manner Yet there is
never money enough to do such small
but important things as putting up
the names of streets on corners, ex-
tending sanitary sewerage TO parts OF
the city where 1t is needed and want
ed, and keeping the city clean.
When yellow fever appeared in the
south and a crusade against filth be-
gan, Paducah made a bluff at clean
ing up. The city is not clean, and
could not be cleaned up as it should
be, in six months. The reason is that
II has been neglected. Cutters and
alleys in the heart of the city reek
with filth and slime, despite our sani-
tary officers. How many warrants
have these officers sworn out during
the summer? Where do they spend
their time?
Where the regular monthly expen-
ditures go is not told the people who
furnish the money. If it were, the
reason for the administrations refus-
ing to allow an itemized Est to be
presented at the sessions of the board
at which such expenditures are voted.
would be obvious.
City officials repeatedly take con-
tracts for city work, contrary to the
fact which disqualifies
hem as Office holders and IL the may
pr does not know II he is sadly derel-
let in the performance of his duty,
yet he has never interposed single
objection to this species of graft.
A great deal more could be said
along this line, and could be proven
by figures from the official records
were it worth while. There is moth
ing to do but put such men out of Of
flcs when there is an opportunity
10 do so at the polls. Majority of
course rules and il majority of
people favor extravaganza and petty
graft, the majority should be salts
fed.
But it is regretted that this ma
jority cannot be made to suffer by It,
self the consequences of what 1t i'm
poses on the community.

VALUE OF A CLEAN CITY.

When Paducah was trying to get
the state guard encampment last
spring, the hardest fight Col. Harry
Tandy and others who were working
for it had to make, was against the
claim of delegations from other cities
that Paducah was unhealthful
why" some of them asserted ST
you take them TO Paducah they'll die
in droves from typhoid fever"
But the soldiers came About 5000
was spent to improve sanitation. A
crematory was built to destroy the
garbage, and during the encampment
not a soldier was i'll except one man
who came here i'll of typhoid fever
and was Immediately sent home. and
several trivial eases OF Illness that
were soon cured.
The streets were kept clean, ali
the garbage was destroyed,-and as
a result there was no sickness.
This shows what Paducah and any
other city can do. The thing is to
keep a city clean. The streets and
cutters must be free from filth or
other distinctions, and the garbage,
instead of being thrown into yards
and alleys to decay, must be carried
away and destroyed. This will re-
quire time and money, but the result
is worth it.
Life and good health cannot be
bought, but money judiciously ex-
pended may enable the people of
community to enjoy BOTH while Of
fetal negligence and ncompetency

WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH PA
DUCAH?


The situation in Paducah is graph
ically described by "A Sympathetic
Reader" in a communication to an
ether local paper. He or she says in
part.
Can We have a beautiful city:
can we have beautiful, clean city?
Are there such cities anywhere? If
there arc, why :sr't ours such?
SIS it because we haven't the nee
essary funds to beautify it and keep
il clean? Where is the money then
that we are taxed for--the highest
tax citizens can be burdened with
100000 year2 What goes with
this money? We haven't a park-we
haven't clean streets-the weeds on
the sidewalks down town are fence
high. Our streets are never sprink-
led. Greensboro sprinkles her streets.
We make ours lanes for cows to roam
through. We try to get factories and
other things to come here, when the
urgent necessity of our town, the
only thing to consider now, is never
mentioned and that is sewerage. sew
erage, sewerage,
I'VE have an open sewer in our
midst, which in town near by. caus-
ed a diphtheria epidemic, and was
abated by the state board of health
at great cost to the city. Sewerage
is urgently demanded to abate this
menace. We want a college here.
For what does a college want to come
to town without sewerage? II can't
come. II will go to a smaller town
where ii can get protection for the
health of its pupils-a colleges first
consideration.
"our own high school is pleading
for it--our children's health jeopar-
dized-and $1,000 every year paid
into the city's treasury. And We;
there is no money to do anything
with. Where does ii go?
"The Illinois Central railroad
wants to open up a beautiful addi-
tion TO our city and the people are
already refusing to go out there be-
cause they can have no sanitary pro-
lection. no deoeneies of life, and yet
we are taxed to the limit.
"You meet people away from home
and try to persuade them to come to
our town aud they always say: 81
couldn't live in town with cutters
like you have there"
"They have sewerage, many OF
them living In towns of 5000 or less

cies. Why can't we? 1t is the de-
mand Of the hour. We must have it.

Surveying for Stone Roads.

The promoters of the movement for
good roads in Worcester County were
greatly encouraged this week at the
arrival in Snow Hill of Mr. Robert Blain,
of the Maryland Geological Survey,
Highway Division. 1t will be recalled
that the county applied for state aid on
five miles of road, as follows:
No. l, Road between Snow Hill and
Berlin, known as Purnell's Mill Pond
Road, mile.
No. 2, Road between Berlin and Snow
Hill, known as Poplartown Road,
mile.
No. 3, Road between Pocomoke City
and Stockton, known as Goodwill Road,
2 miles.
No. 4, Road between Snow Hill and
Salisbury, known as Mile Post Road,
mile.
AS it is manifestly impossible for the
department to give every county its
full list of plans and estimates at once
Mr.. Blain was directed to survey only
the first two at this time. Accordingly,
Mr.. Blain began his work here on
Purnell's Mill Pond Road, and COM
pleted his surveys Thursday. Friday
morning he went to Berlin, and began
at once the survey of the Poplartown
road. From Berlin he will go to Talbot
county, and, as soon as possible, will
return to this county, to make the
surveys for the remaining roads.

The Town Clock is in Place

The new clock for the Court House
has arrived, and has been installed in
the tower this week. The clock was
made BY the Seth Thomas Company,
clock and watch manufacturers of Wa
terbyry, Conn., and was purchased
through Mr. J ohm W. Vincent, the reliable
jeWeler of this town. The dial of the
click is ofplate glass, and is Illuminated
at night. It has a bell weighing 300
Ibs., and which strikes the hours and
half hours in a manner that may be
heard all over town. The cost of the
clock was $500, which amount was
raised through the efforts of Mr.. o. d.
Collins.
