The opinion that the bitulithic
contract is invalid recalls the time a
few years ago when the council was
informed that the over-the-river rail-
road bonds were void and the city
not only did not have to pay the
interest on them bat could not le-
gally pay it. There was ample reason.
from technical standpoint. why the
bonds were invalid, the most potent
of which was that the statute had
not been complied with. Yet all these
reasons fell through when the case
was tried out in court. It may be the
same in this case. 1t does not require
very extensive knowledge of law
10 know that II the city is liable it.
self for a dollar of the cost of the
work already done under this con-
tract because of its own acts, the
property owners are also just as liza
BILE for their share because of these
same acts of the city's representa-
tives. and neither probably is liable
for a dollar II 1t can't be made liza
BILE for the entire amount. The ten
dency of the whole agitation seems
to be to drag the city into more
costly litigation and to suspend in
definitely. important public i'm
provements.

Politicians who raid town. coun
ty or state treasury, and otherwise
outrage the people, often seek to
shield themselves behind the repu-
tation of the city. "You are be-
smirching the fair name of our city,"
they wall in an effort to divert the
attention of the public from their
own meanness. 1t is indeed unfortu-
nate that newspapers and political
parties should have to show up cor
rupt conditions anywhere. fof it is
never credit to any city, county.
or state, although 1t is doubtful II It
is not in the long run beneficial.
When gangs have nothing left to re-
sort to, however. they invariably
spring the pious argument about
slandering the city. 1t is not SANDER
ing the city to dislodge the parasites.
1t is doing the city good.

The Republicans, in convention
assembled yesterday. acquainted the
people with conditions and the aims
and ambitions of the Republicans of
Paducah and McCracken county in
respect to public office. They might
have devoted columns to the sub
ject of municipal and county mis-
rule. but ii was unnecessary. They
instead concisely and dispassionately
alluded to conditions. and offer to
rectify them as far as possible When
once clique becomes intrenched In
power in a community it is hard to
get out. Its power increases, and as
its power increases, its extravaganza
and indifference to public criticism
increase. This was shown not long
ago when misrule in McCracken coun
ty became a public scandal, and
when an effort was made to get evil
dence of alleged violations of the
law before the grand jury. 1t was
found that the grand jury for some
reason was unwilling to hear it. The
state inspector had been here. made
an investigation. and his report was
plain. II showed state of ignorance,
indifference, incompetency or some
thing worse, that demanded more
than II received-an apparently con-
certed effort to squelch the whole
thing. And II was squelched.

The city cannot remedy condi-
lions in the West End by cutting
down the grade of Bradshaw's creek.
or by draining 1t. The only way to
dispense with the nuisance is by
preventing persons from draining
filth into 1t. AS usual. however. the
city has gone about 1t wrong and
the people have very little hope of
the present plan benefiting anyone.
In places where formerly the filth
was covered by water the water has
been drained. leaving exposed sever
al inches of slime and filth to dry
and contaminate the atmosphere.
The only way to do away with this
"open sewer" Is by preventing any
thing being drained into It. Ii
would be bad enough if nothing but
rain water went into 1t, TO stand
and stagnate.

THE PLANS ARE CHANGED
Heating Plant for New Court House
Will Be in Basement of County
Jail

On M,nday tbs board of supervisors
held an important meeting at which 1t
was decided to use the basement of the
county jail for the heating plant OF the
new court house instead of using the
temporary court house as first planned.
1t would seem as if someone had made
stupid bldnder in planning to use the
temporary Office building for this pur-
pose and that when it came to the
working out of the scheme it was found
to be very expensive and practically
impossible. 1t is said that the change
will save several thousands OF dollars,
besides being much more convenient
and economical in operation The only
wonder seems to be that it was not
thought of until this late date

EAIR PRICES.

The question is, what are fair prices
for farm products and how cheap
should a farmer be able to buy the
commodities which he needs? Taking
it today at the primary markets, hogs
are worth about cents per pound;
beef. TO Q cents; bntter, % cents;
eggs, Is cents; corn, 45 cents per
bushel; oats, 80 cents; hay, Sc per ton.
These commodities produced on land
Of an average value Of say $40 per
acre, the farmer pays a hand $25 per
month, buys a mower for $37, a
harvester for $120, a wagon for $50, a
buggy for $40, gets fence wire for
8 cents pound and twlne for 10 cents,
pays 4 to 6 per cent interest for money
he borrows, and we most seriously
question If in all the country's history
there has ever been time when the
values of commodities were more near
ly balanced. or time when farming
as n business was a better all round
proposition. Still there are some men
who would like to sell corn for 81
busheL buy nails at cent q
pound. and get n hired man for So
a month, and so they keep an ever.
lasting howl going up at government
and the existing order of things.

the use of animal offal as food for
hogs. The hog is the most cosmopoli.
tan scayenger Of any Of our domestic
animals, save possibly the hen, and,
while we are not prepared to say that
this catering to the hogs carnivorous
tastes units him as food for man, tn
knowledge that he has been 80 fed an
fattened does something to ncutrallzc
the fetching flavor Of boiled ham,
young pig usage and the toothsomc
roast pork and apple sauce. Some e
the states are legIslatlng against this
barbarous method Of feeding the pig
and propose to conflne the brute to q
strictly vegetarian diet. This protc /
is based mostly upon sentiment, for

son why, after the road Is properly
graded TO width OF thirty or forty
feet, the rest Of the highway should
not pass under the control of the ad-
jacent land owner to be cultivated as
part of his field. This plan has been
adopted In few localities with the
best results. Waste acres are made
thereby productive and the appearance
Of the highway and the adjoining farms
is immensely improved. The progress
of the country in the coming years Is
going to lie along just such lines-the
utilization of waste resources.

BUSINESS ON THE FARM.

In any well conducted manufacturing
establishment the question Of cost Of
production Is very closely studied, and
no means are left untried to reduce
this cost Of production to the lowest
possible limit. If machine will do
the work Of man, and, besides, do 1t
better, out goes the man, no matter
what may be the cost of the machine.
and If new machine will do the work
cheaper than the old one, out goes the
old one. We note that there Is very
little Of this thing to be seen on our
farms, where the cost Of producing
farm crops and meats Is seldom serl-
ously considered. In fact, but few
farmers really know what 1t costs to
produce bushel Of corn, a pound Of
butter, beef or pork. If at the end Of
the year they have little money
which no one has a claim on, they fig.
ure they are that much ahead. More
than this they cannot tell to save
their lives about their business. It
would be well to make farming more
Of a business proposition.
