NEW ROUTE
MAY NOT BE ORDERED BY THE
DEPARTMENT.
Rural Route Inspector Probably
Cannot Recommend II.

The survey or Inspection of the
proposed new McCracken county ru-
raj route by Special Inspector II. G..
Larson did not result as expected.
Mr.. Larson stated that he did not
think much of the proposed route.
and while this is not final. the pros
pect does not appear bright for Sc
curing the route.
The territory to be covered is be-
tween the Cairo road and the river,
and Mr.. Larson went over 1t yester-
day, returning in the evening. He
will make out a report and hap
and forward them to the depart
ment. and the department will then
act.
While the outlook is not good for
the route, it may be ordered esteb-
lished, as the department has the
final decision.

CORRECTING AN EVIL.

The state board of charities, at its
meeting in Covington, decided that
much of the decentralization of youth
is due to truancy. Prof. c. NJ. Mer-
ry. superintendent of the Covington
schools, declared that Juvenile GRIM
inality is due to nothing so much
as to truancy, while another strong
reason urged was the wrecking of
youthful minds and bodies by en-
ploying children in factories.
There are now in existence laws,
which IL enforced would do a great
deal to eliminate these causes that
do so much to fill prisons, almshous-
es, asylums and paupers' graves. In
Paducah not half the number of
school children, as shown by the
census, attend school. Where are the
others? Why are they out of school?
How many of them work in facto-
ries, and how many run wild on the
streets? How many might now be at
tending school preparing themselves
for useful and prosperous lives in
stead of paving the way for lives of
drudgery or crime, If our laws were
only enforced? What good is the
compulsory education or the child
labor law, If 1t is not enforced?
The association of charities also
recommended the establishment of
Juvenile courts in first and second
class cities in Kentucky, which
brings within its scope, Paducah.
Such court would undoubtedly be
a good institution but what we need
is TO deal first with the cause, not
the effect. Compel the children to go
TO school There may be Instances
where II is impossible, but far more
Instances will be found where chill
dren are unnecessarily kept from
school. In Paducah the school cen
sus shows about 5000 pupils and the
school enrolment, in both public and
private schools, is probably less
than $500.
Where are the othersY may well be
asked.

A W ORD
TO THE
Life Insurance
Policy Holders
of PaduCah.

There was never a time when there
was more agitation about life insur-
ance than there is today, and never
time when people were more anx-
ious about the policies they held
than they are today.
There Is no disputing the fact that
there are a lot OF policy holders on
the anxious seat, as result of the
incidents of the past few months
We see this demonstrated on all
sides every day in the week.
don't believe | am -exaggerating
any when say that the average man
does not know what kind of a policy
he has. When It was written he took
the agents word for 1t. and trusted
to the future to develop what he is
to get out Of it; as most policies are
SO peculiarly worded that they sound
like Goose language to the average
man. A peep into them will divulge,
probably, something not looked for. |
don't wish to be judged an alarmist
Neither am | depreciating any other
ccmpany's proposition. but | must
say, candidly and sadly, that there
are many agents who are unscru-
pulous and just as many who are
ignorant, and when you purchase a
policy through either there is no
telling what sort of a gold brick"
you have had passed of on you. |
do not mean to reflect on the pro-
fessional insurance men of today
who are preaching the gospel of
sood life insurance, but it is against
the man who writes your policy to
set his premium, regardless of what
you get, whom ! warn you.
Then, too, some of you have poll.
oies in wild cat" companies, connpa-
MES that are spending more than
taeir incomes. The policies are prob
ably worth about as much as the
paper upon which they are written.
Every additional cent you pay into
them is good money sent after bad,
You may have one of these policies
and not know it. Why, L find men
nearly every day who have been pay
ing their premiums for years and
who don't know what kind of policy
they have. IL is a sad thing for
man in the fifties to find, after pay
ing for fifteen or twenty years that
he has to continue his policy for life
to get the face value. But such incl
dents are common day occurrences.
A life insurance policy is an in
yestment and Sacred estate that
mans loved ones will have to settle
with the Co. 1t should be the best
then as a man WANTS the best for
them.
Now | merely want to say If any
one has a policy he or she does not
understand, IL you will bring 1t to
my office, or telephone me | will take
pleasure in assisting you all can.
( advise some one almost every day
and | often advise them to pay on
as their present age is against max
ing any change.

NEW ORDINANCE
Is INCOMPLETE
Provides no Way to Pay an Elec-
trical Inspector.
Many Complaints About the Changes
Ordered In Electric Wiring by
Insurance Companies.
A FEW MUNICIPAL MATTERS.

The question of electric wiring in
Paducah has developed into a serious
one, and many property owners, and
merchants who occupy the property
Of others, are beginning to wonder
what will be the next step.
Il is claimed that the ordinance
Just passed by the general council
providing for an electrical inspector,
is practically useless. as II does not
designate that the duties of inspector
shall be added to those of any par
tlcular city official. and makes no
provision for remunerating whoever
may be chosen as the inspector.
A number of Paducahans claim
that the wire inspections have be-
come nuisance. and are an imposi-
lion. They declare that one insur-
ance inspector comes along and un-
loes what his predecessor has order
ed done. That one orders one set of
changes, and the next expert" ar
ives and orders another. as even in
5urance experts do not always agree.
Insurance men. however, deny
this. They claim that the only two
experts recently here, first Mr.. Bar
rett and few days ago Mr.. Gano,
agree in everything and that the
froubla Is that changas ordprad hv
Mr.. Barrett months ago had never
been made when Mr.. Gano arrived.
The latter is described as a very
strict, unrelenting man. and one who
will order everything done his way.
and 1t will have teebe done that way
or there will be wholesale cancel
lation of insurance policies.
Mayor Yeiser said today that he
did not know what would be done
about the electrical inspector mat
ter. The ordinance is useless as Il
stands, as il provides no oompensa-
lion for the performance of the du-
ties. II has been said that the in
tention was to appoint Chief Wood
the inspector. but some of the work
Chief Wood could not do, and should
not be expected to do.
A member of Ire council said to-
day that he would bring up the mat
ter at the next regular meeting.
A report was in circulation today
that Commissioner c. c. Rose, of Pa
ducah, and Mr.. Gano, the inspector,
had disagreed, but Mr.. Rose states
that this is mistake. That he has
merely been INSTRUCTED to pass on
no question of wiring. as these mat
ters have been left exclusively TO
Mr.. Gano by the underwriters. Com
missioner Rose passed on some of the
wiring while Mr. Gano was away.
but Mr.. Gano did not concur in IL,
when he came back. and IL was then
decided to save both future embar-
rassment by having Mr.. Gano alone
pass on all wiring during his stay.

slipped off a bad grade and dragged
the team into the canyon below, a dis
tance Of 1000 feet, wrecking the wagon
completely and tearing the harness to
pieces. The horses were badly cut up
but not permanently injured.
The accident made it imperative for
Mr.. Norlin to seek other equipment
and he came to Lewiston for another
team and wagon. He will also take
back an additional force Of men and
teams and hasten in the completion

DECIDE AGAINST
SQUATTERS
Holders of Valuable Timber Cut
Out by Land Office
Decision.

Coalfax, Wash. August 16.--An ti1-
ings under the timber and stone act.
in the proposed Shoshone forest re-
serve. near Wallace Idaho, have been
rejected by the land office department
at Washington. Colfax citizens who
have held "squatters' rights" on timber
claims in that district for the past
three years will lose their rights and
the none ythey have expended for the
same. Official notification from Reg
lister Dunn, OF the Coeur d'Alene land
office has been received by all those
who offered filings in that district on
July l3. The notices came by register
ed letter and are all Of the same char
acter. Following is a copy OF one of
the notices received.
Dear Sir: Your application 10 make
entry Of (here follows a description of
the land) land under the timber and
stone law has been rejected for the
reason that all of said lands applied
for are within the proposed Shoshone
forest reserve and not subject to entry
under said act. Thirty days from the
above date are allowed you in which
to appeal from the rejection of said ap-
plication.'
The notices are signed by r. N. Dunn
as register of the United States land
office at Occur d'Alene. Idaho
Many citizens of Colfax. Tekoa and
other points in Whitman county secur-
ed ''squatters' rights" on lands in the
district which it is proposed to set aside
as forest reserve. These rights were
secured at the time the land was sur
veyed, about three years ago. Each
applicant paid s125 to $3.50 for being
located" on the land and having a
cabin built. Each applicant also spent
considerable money in visiting his or
her claim at different times arai some
OF them are out as much as $3.50 in the
effort to secure the land. which is val
nable only for its timber. These per-
sons have acted in good faith and when
the land was opened for settlement on
July 49, they visited Coeur d'.Alene and
made application to file on the land
Register Dunn notified them at that
time that the filings could not be ac-
cepted and would not take any none,
from them, but accepted the papers ir
each case. The settlers hoped in this
way to preserve their rights, and ir
case the land is not set aside as a re.
serve they believe their filings will bt
accepted.
1t is understood that bitter figh
will he made I'm the next session a

serve it is thought the filings of tn,
