TIME is RIPE FOR A CHANGE


The Republicans of Paducah have
a walk-over in the November cleo
ton If they will put up good men
for the various boards. This is adj
mitted by many Democrats. But they
should put up men who have the
confidence of the people.
The public is heartily tired of the
unbusinesslike methods in attend
ing to public affairs in Paducah.
There are many good men in Padu-
cab who belong to the Republican
party. and with a public mind being
constantly broadened by the realiza-
ton that a mans politics has little
or nothing to do with his service as
a city official. the much needed
change can easily be brought about.
officials who are afraid to let the
people know how the peoples mon
ey is being spent cannot expect to
long remain in office.
The city has a difficult time in
making both ends meet simply be
cause the idea of retrenchment and
economy seems never 10 nave pen
etrated the minds of the men in
power. AS long as vast amounts of
money are spent every year, ant
much of it goes to friends and rela-
tives of those who spend il. there is
little likelihood of any serious eff
fort to eurtail expenditures. There
are many ways in which expenses
can be reduced without diminishing
the benefits that accrue to the peo-
Pile. and il will remain with the vot-
ers to say in November whether or
not they want il done.
The more money spent, the higher
the tax rate, and when there is so
little evidence of where the money
goes. a change seems advisable, If
not imperative.

The disaster on the gunboat Ben
nington in San Diego harbor proved
to have resulted from mis-
take from sheer careless
ness. Immediately after the catas-
trophe 1t was charged that the boil
ers were weak, but it developed that
the mere shutting on of valve
caused the explosion and whisked
many lives into eternity. BY manip-
ulating a small piece of machinery
the steam was shut off from the
steam gauge and the gauge could
not record the steam pressure. The
fires were increased TO raise the nee
essary steam not shown by the
gauge, and the explosion resulted.
There was no excuse for the person
who made the mistake, except that
he was Humankind to err is hui
man. IL was one of those unfortu-
nate lapses that occasionally result
in frightful loss TO life and property,
and which will doubtless continue TO
occur as long as human beings are
human beings. There is a lesson to
be learned from such tragedies,
however, and IL Is to be more care
full. to pay more attention 10 the
small details of life.

BY Paul Bartlett

With the first series OF the Pacific
Coast league ended some idea can
now be formed Of the respective
strength of the teams engaged in the
race for the bunting during the season
of 1905. While not entirely unexpected
the showing of Seattle against Hank
Harris employees at San Francisco has
been miserable to the last degree.
The Siwashes were never in the rum
ming, despite the optimistic ante
bellum reports that were continually
emanating from the Russ Hall camp
MT Santa Barbara. Seattle's young
twlrlers were apparently made" for
the Frisco stickers and the way the
Seals chased one another over the
rubber yesterday was too pitiful.
Peter Lohman and associates should
be well satisfied with the outcome OF
their first meeting with the Royal
Bengals. In the five games played
they went one better than Fishers
proteges and their double victory yes
terday will undoubtedly stimulate Ia
coma to great efforts in 'endeavorng
to trounce the Seraphs this week.
Los Angeles succeeded in wrestling
an even break from Portland in the
four games played. McCredie had
his lineup completed before the other
managers had begun to dicker with
possible acquisitions and Mac has
