Mrs. Gross informed the court that
she was from Kentucky and proud of

monopolizing the yard or even at
tempting to do so. Mrs. Lyons did
strike her on the jaw and it was the
blow that precipitated her into the

and shoulders out of the barrel until
her screams brought Mrs Hammer

were there to again tell the court, If

Charles Clock, saloonist at 52f Cort-
land avenue, Mission District and six
others were arrested Saturday night for
! playing poker in a public place said
place being the saloon aforementioned.
1t was proved, however, that the doors
were locked and the blinds drawn and
! that three of the defendants were not
playing poker at all, but merely watch
ing the game carried on by the other
four. SO Judge Mogan dismissed the
trio of onlookers and intimated inten-
1 ton to do the same thing with the
quartet of players next Saturday, be-
cause the closed doors and drawn
blinds deprived Of publicity the place
wherein the poker was played.
Eighteen year-o old Eva Powers. ac-
cused of having blackened her moth

I the accusation and declared the COM
plainant sustained the injuries by
stumbling and falling while in the act
of administering corporal punishment
to the defendant. Then the mother in
formed Judge Cabaniss that the girl
was wayward, and when reprimanded
for staying away all night from her
home at 1922 Valencia street, she furi-
ously attacked her maternal guardian.
She works in a candy store" Mrs.
Powers told Judge Cabaniss, "and
when | asked where she had been all
night she beat me. Her father en-
courages her disobediencef and beats
me when ! demonstrate with her."
The young woman told the Judge
that she absented herself from the
parental rooftree because she was
afraid her mother would strike her
with hammer if she returned home
late. Patrolman Desmond testified
that Mrs. Powers bears an excellent
reputation among her neighbors, and
that he believed her story in prefer
ence to- that of the girl. The father of
the unhappy family. who is employed
in shoe factory, stated that he re-
garded his wife as insane and had ap-
piled to have her examined by the
Lunacy Commission, but the Judge
.opined that the woman showed no
symptoms of dementia in his court.
Then the case was continued till to-
morrow.

WE ARE ALL WITH TEDDY.

President Roosevelt is going to
give the people the best administra-
tion they ever had, which is the best
evidence one could want that he Is a
staunch republican. We are pleased
to see the democrats trying to claim
that the president is "a democrat" +"
because, while we know he is nothing
of the kind, and will never be until
all democrats become republicans, 1t
shows that the democrats admire and
respect him. IL can be safely as
sumed that the republican party will
approve and uphold everything the
president does. II stands for the
greatest good to the greatest num-
ber, and so does he. The democrat
stands for the greatest good to the
democrats. but occasionally they like
TO claim credit for what we do. The
Owensboro Inquirer says:
"The people are with Roosevelt,
and II he carries out the plan outlin-
th Niii b' idNNiihH
bones as has not been heard in this
valley of tariff desolation, trust spoil
alton and railroad discrimination in
all the times that have gone before.
They will listen to him and woe be
TO the representatives and senators
who shall then attempt to run the
country for the benefit of the inter
ests named"
When the Inquirer or any other
paper, however, imagines that the re-
publican party will balk at the pres
ident's action. 1t is mistaken. II will
stand by him, and Congress will like
ly do likewise. II may hesitate or
kick a little at first, but IL will be
tanned bye and bye.

MORE CIVIC PRIDE NEEDED.

Lexington, KY, Is TO enforce n city
ordinance requiring property owners
TO repair sidewalks within thirty days
after an order from the city authori-
ties has been served on them. The or
dinance prescribes penalty of IS a
day for every day after the expira-
tion of the thirty days allowed for
the work, and Lexington is now GO
Ing to make the delinquents pay for
their Indifference to the law. As
many have ignored II for months, the
cost in fines will be large.
The Herald complains of the same
things there, that we have here in
Paducah, thus:
THE streets and sidewalks of Lex
ington are not in a condition to be
proud of. On some of the brick
streets there is today an accumula-
tion Of dirt which has gathered for
certainly two. and probably three
months. On many of the macadam
streets there is dirt and mud that
represents the accumulations for a
year, the oiling of these streets last
year making II apparently unneces-
sary at that time to take the dust off
of them. A contract has now been let
for the cleaning and sweeping OF the
brick streets. That contract was Sc
cured by the Home Construction COM
pany, which was not the lowest bid
der, but was given the contract, we
understand, because of an assurance
that 1t would keep the streets clean.
We hope that assurance will be car
ried out, for the streets certainly are
in condition where they need clean
ing. The macadam streets are bad
ly In need both of cleaning and re-
pairing, and the city authorities have
an opportunity to win reputation and
gratitude If they will clean them so
that they are a credit to the city. The
sidewalks are not in very much bet
ter condition than the streets, some
of them are hardly as good as the
streets, and 1t certainly seems that
the citizens have a right to demand
that they be furnished at least as
good footing as horses and cattle"

SUING THE CITY FOR DAMAGES.

Not long ago a lady who was hurt
by being thrown down an embank-
pent the city should have fenced in.
was given verdiet for $4,000
against the city. Soon after that the
city went to work having all en-
bankments for which 1t was respon-
elble fenced in, requiring considera-
BILE time and money.
A short time ago a prominent doc
tor sued the city IN. injuries received /
by tripping and falling over a sur
face box that stuck up in the pave
ment, and soon after he filed his
suit the city fastened to order the
companies having these boxes to at
once lower them all, and the wheels
ii the police department were set
in motion to locate the offensive sur
face boxes and report them to head
quarters, so the owner can be notifl-
ed to put them lower in the ground.
When 25 or more $4,000 damage
rults are filed against the city for
working prisoners on the street,
however. the city assumes a defiant
air and keeps supplying scores OF
persons with cause of action in 9TH
sr suits. by continuing 10 work pris
oners on the streets. The charter
plainly shows that the lawmakers in
tended second class cities to have
workhouse, and although there is
nowhere in the second class charter
any authority for working prisoners
on the streets, and no authority for
city to pass an ordinance TO work
them on the street, the city of Padu-
cab keeps working them there and
yhe prisoners keep filing damage
suits.
There is no apparent reason 70;

sequences must be borne solely by
the taxpayers whose Interests are be-
ing SO wantoHly neglected by the ad-
ministrstion.

The warrant against Bud Quarles.
of the South Side. for alleged viola
ton OF the Sabbath. was called again
in the police court today and contin-
ued week on account of the absence
of witnesses. II is understood that
II the defendant is convicted, he will
apply for a new license without max

will cost an extra SIS, as when the
license Is revoked the saloon man

A delegation of ministers yester-
day afternoon called on Mayor Yei-
ser and informed him that they in
dorsed his stand and offered him all
the assistance they could render. The
mayor thanked them, but expressed
the belief that he could handle the
matter without outside aid.
The Ministerial Association at a
meeting held yesterday passed reso-
lutions indorsing the mayors action,
and rendering him support.
