The test will be-made Jointly with the

Paducah has taken step that is
In advance of Greensboro. and one
which this city should initiate as soon
as possible. says the greensboro In
quirer. The council has passed and
the mayor has signed an ordinance
requiring every lot within the sew
erage district to be connected with
sewer by standard connection
within three years from the date Of
the ordinance. The only objection to
the ordinance Is that the time Is too
long and much damage may be done
T by lack of sewerage in that time.
There is little hope that the present
council will pass any such beneficent
ordinance for Greensboro.

The mayor Is alleged to be uncer-
tain about where the money should

usually means needless delay, and II
is to be hoped that the mayor will be
convinced by some one that he is
wrong. At any rate we have an at
torney paid to furnish the city with
whatever information is necessary in
matters of this kind. and someone
should advise the mayor to leave le-
gal questions to the oity's legal ad-
visor. II is especially advisable In
view of the many past illegal deci-
sions" of the mayor. none of which.
so far as we are able to learn, was
ever upheld by a court.

OUR FIRE PROTECTION

1t is quite likely that Paducah's
fire protection has been attacked
enough in late wears without trying
to underrate 1t now, after so many
thousand dollars have been expend-
ed in improving and extending 1t.
We have good fire protection.
There are now four stations. while
for many years there was but one,
and we have in addition the latest
and most improved equipment. We
have force of stationmen, under
the direction of a chief and assist
ants who have spent years in the
service, and know their. business far
better than any of those who criti-
else them could possibly know it.
The water pressure here is ample
at all times to throw stream over
the tallest building. and when there
Is an alarm of fire 1t sounds in the wa
ter company's power house at the
same instant II sounds in the fire
stations. and enables the company In
few seconds to put on the fire pres
sure.
There are naturally people at ev-
cry fire who, in their own estimation
conld put It out much better than the
firemen. but none of them has ever
applied for a position in the depart
ment. and of course until they be-
come members, their services are not
available.
The fire Saturday was one of those
kind that cannot be extinguished un-
I'll they have burned themselves out.
There was plenty of water pressure
and plenty of men to apply II intel
ligently. but the character of mate
rial and the high wind rendered con-
ditions such that all the water In the
river would not have sufiiced to sub
due II after It was discovered.
As to the city needing fire engines.
the idea is ridiculous. In cities where
there are many sky scrapers. more
pressure may be needed than a wa
ter system can afford, but here there
is all the pressure needed,
Our fire protection is ample, The
insurance men know II, for the de-
partment has been built mp accord
ing to their own plans. and the city
has done everything an exacting To-
suranee trust asked. spending s2b-
600 or $4,000 within the last yest.
So let's not try TO give our oJn
fire protection a blackeye just VIII n

''EBEN HOLDEN"

Grand Opera House On Neat
Fridu Might.

TO the iaded theatre goers "Eben
Holden" the famous pastoral play
which appears at the Traders Grand
opera house, Friday, Feb. 10, comes
as a welcome relief. There are sit
nations and moments that get be-
meath the corners of ones heart and
brings moisture even TO the eyes of
the least susceptible.
Mr.. Henry Horton, who assumes
the title role, makes OF Uncle Ed.
a natural, forceful, simple, lovable,
character, spontaneous in humor and
brings touches of real genius to his
work.
Blanche Kendall, who plays the
heroine, Hope Brewer, is a clever
Young actress, who is rapidly rising
in her chosen profession. The sup
porting company is unusually clever.
"Eben Holden" is comedy Of the
purest type. Pathos such as only
the circumstances of troubled love
affairs can breed, and an atmosphere
that takes one back to Gods own
masterpiece, the country, are found
in abundance in this play. and with
that sterling character, Henry Hor-
ton. and the exceptionally clever
supporting company, engaged by
Manager Horror, local theatre goers
may well anticipate a rare treat,
when this immensely popular play
is presented.
