lof completeness and regularity has
been the spending of about $4,000
a month OF the peoples money, with
practically nothing to show for It.
The whole machinery of city govern
ment, when YOU stop a minute to
think, revolves solely, so far as a
person can see, to give the people fire
and police protection We believe
that Paducah gets as good fire and
police protection as,any other city its
size in the south, but there are many
other things TO think Of. There are
sanitary sewerage, new streets. clean
streets, better sanitation. more lights,
public parks, sna seors 90 other
things--but we have them not. We
can get them. however, If we put
men in Office who want them.
The people do not need to BE- told
much about the county. It has been
only a few months since we had a
pretty fair exposition OF how affairs
were being managed Gloss ignor-
ance and incompetency, if nothing
worse, were shown, and what did It
amount to? Nothing Why was 1t
hushed up? Why was 1t all dropped
so suddenly after the democratic
county primary? Why did not the
subsequent grand juries take up
these affairs and let those under fire
either prove their innocence or be
called to account for their alleged
betrayal of public trust? Are the
taxpayers of Paducah and McCrack-
en- county entitled to no further con-
sheraton than having rascality or
INCOMPETENCE of public officers ex-
posed, and then unce,emoniously
dropped? II they are. why have they
not received such consideration?
These are only a few of the ques-
tons pertinent in the present cam
paign. II is time for the voters to
do some tail thinking and decide on
how to cast their votes. There are
cliques whose power increases every
year. to be broken up. They can't
be broken up by electing them, or
any part OF them, to Office If the
people haven't received what they
want and are entitled to, they need
a change, and know how to get It.
They must elect men in November
who are not only capable of doing
their duty. but will do it.

MUCH ARSENIC
HAS BEEN TAKEN BN PEOPLE
OF NEW ORLEANS.
Tweniy-siX Tons Of II Consumed In
Few Weeks In Louisiana.

New Orleans, Oct. 2G.--Since the
arsenic craze in New Orleans and In
the states of Mississippi and Loulsi-
ana has somewhat subsid d drug
gists and mathematlcians have been
calculating the number of arsenic
tablets swallowed by the people of
this city and Of the surrounding sec
ton.
The arsenic craze was of MINI :
sofa origin, having been started by
Or. Reginald b. Leach, of st. Paul,
who claimed that arsenic tablets
taken three times a day in .0i-grain
doses would prevent yellow fever or
render an attack very mild. DR..
Leach advanced his theory In let
ter to New Orleans newspapers. and
offered TO come to New Orleans and
take the preventive and allow him
self to be inaculated, committee
from thu local medical society to
note the results. DR.. Leach came
but the medical society weuld have
nothing to do with him, and his
theory was not tested.
But many people, impressed by his
theory, swallowed his preventive. A
canvass OF the retail, wholesale and
manufacturing druggists indicates
that 100000. 200 arsenic tablets
were thus consumed in six weeks.
The tablets, each one-ffth of an inch
across, II laid sid by side would
make line 5000 miles long. or
more than one-third the circumfer-
enee OF the earth. and longer than
its diameter. They would be as
much as an ordinary freight car
could sustain, or about as much as
tyeniy-six carts could haul through
the streets of city. Twenty-six
tons of tablets were swallowed.
In bulk the tablets packed closely

Do the taxpayers OF Paducah want
more of this outrageousiy la. ge tax
rate? II they don't they must take
the contro. of the city from those who
now have it. As long as thousands
of dollars year are appropriated
for various departments, AMI friends
and relatives of the men in office get
much of the bensfit of 1t, there will
be little or no economy. If public
expenses in Paducah were curtailed
there would be an agonizing howl
but 1t wouldn't be from ths taxpay-

I The following address has been
sent out:
4 The legislature, at its last session,
passed a law whersbylit Is proposed
to give up the secret ballot and go
back to the old viva voce system of
voting which compels every man 10
let every other man see Whom and
/ What ne votes for.
This is an evil measure passed for
iniquitous purposes. 1t is a move
( backward, and an effort to again
adopt a system of voting in Kentucky
discarded by every live Common
wealth in the United States.
The return to this system is not
! desired by any one, Republican or
Democrat. who has the highest and
best interest of this great state at
/ heart.
The laboring man, the wage earn
en-. the farm tenant, the poor man,
and all others who are at the mercy
7 VI inc capitalists want W NpAS lANNif
and without fear of capital and what
it might do.
The capitalist, the merchant and
the manufacturer want TO vote with
out fear of the loss OF liberty or the
confscation of their property by any
political grafters, whatever may be
their politics.
The secret ballot Is one of the
mighty safeguards of liberty and
must be kept invioiate. The cor
rupt politician and the corrupt voter
alone would profit by return to thu
old way of voting.
VOTE AGAINST THIS AMEND
MENT
BY stamping "X" in the little
square opposite the word No, -
which you will find on the right hand
side OF your ballot, your vote will be
against the amendment.
DON'T FORGET THIS.
Hand this to your neighbors, both
