Thanks to republican policies and
achievements, Kentucky, is enjoying
unparalleled prosperity, says the
Louisville Herald. The people re-
joice in spch plenty and progression
as the state never before knew. The
Dover Public Messenger mentions
some evidences of Kentucky prospect.
ty: "The state OF Kentucky is boom
ing as it never doomed before. With
the splendid new capitol building a.
Frankfort new traction lines travers-
ing many portions of the state, sew.
eral new railroads under construc.
lions at Louisville, Lexington ami
other cities, two-million dollar
bridge over the Ohio at Ashland, ire
mendous sums invested in mineral
and timber lands, and the rapid de-
velopment of untold riches hidden
in the mountains-all unite to trans.
form a mossback state into New
Kentucky" Paducah. IL might be
added, is getting her share of the
prosperity. If we keep on trying
there is no telling how great and rap
i'd will be our growth.

ments credited to them should be
taken with grain of salt. What
they have to say they Will no doubt
reserve for the peace conference.
Peace is no doubt desired by Japa-
nese as much as Russia. BY ending
the war now Japan has everything to
gain and nothing to lose. Russia
could not be much worse off II the
war continued indefinitely. and her
game will be to pretend that she is
willing to cease hostilities only on
the proper conditions. Japan, on the
other hand can assume an independ-
ent attitude and dictate the terms
and there is likely to be a great deal
of diplomatic wrangling before any
agreement is reached. In the end
however. there will probably be a
treaty of peace.

LET PADUCAH QUARANTINE.

The yellow fever situation is get
ting worse in the south, several 9TH
er points reporting cases this week,
therefore it behooves every city to
look to the welfare of its inhabitants.
There is nothing that could happen
to a city that can do it the damage
that one case of yellow fever would.
Let Paducah have just one case and
all the efforts of the Commercial
club and any other efforts to induce
immigration would go for naught
for several years as no one wants TO
locate nowadays in the yellow fever
zone.
Paducah should, therefore, quar-
antine against Louisiana, Florida,
Alabama and the infected southern
districts. II is all right to contend
for 1.-THE open door" and suggest
that we should not do such an in
hospitable thing as to bar our gates
10 our neighbors. II would be better
TO be charged with inhospitality
than to have a few fever cases in
Paducah. The first is soon forgotten,
the memory of the second fingers
long.
For the safety, therefore, of our
own people, let a quarantine be es-
tablished and that at once.

JAPAN TO HOLD MANCHURIA.
Big Order for Railroad Equipments
AN Evidence of That Fact.

New York, Aug. At became
known today that Japan has placed
enormous orders here for railroad
equipment and materials which are
to be used on new extension of the
railroad which now runs from Flu
san, southeast Korea, to Seoul,
which it is planned to take across
the Yalu river a hundred and fifty
miles into Manchuria joining Chi
nese Eastern railroad. probably at
Lao Yang. The construction of such
a railroad clearly indicates the fixed
determination of Japan not to reli-
quish but to hold Manchuria. The
order includes $50 steel bridges, $50
locomotives, two thousand cars.

CLEAN UP THE CITY.

Mayor Yeiser and the board of
public works have decided to use the
entire street department in cleaning
up the cutters and alleys through
out the city.
This is wise for never before were
great precautions TO safeguard the
health of a city needed more than
now. Every town in the south and on
the border is quarantining against
the yellow fever states and districts
and putting their own households,
as II were. in clean condition.
The citizens of Paducah should
join hands with the city authorities
and clean up their yards and see
that they are kept clean. Good
health is the price of precaution and
II should be exercised TO the limit.
