"Buzzardlng."

In few weeks, now, the traffic on
the trolley lines to the suburbs will
almost double. The haze of lemon
yellow which brightens the parks in
the sheltered city, the scent of the
hyacinth, the freshness of the modest
anemone and the gentle windrose ELL
the urban heart with unrest and turn
his eyes toward the country boarding
house. In few weeks the effiux will
begin
OF course the summer spent among
the green fields will do all these city
boarders good. When October comes
and they rush back to the theaters
and new fall styles and winter under
wear they will ali be the better for
having spent four months or FIVE as
they ought to spend all twelve. But
they will temper that good by Curl
GUS habit, a daily failing easily avoid
ed, a strange fault which one of these
offenders has called "buzzarding.
In the morning, according to this
young lady, if you work in the city,
you get out Of bed, dash through a
half toilet, slide into your clothes.
gulp down a cup of coffee and roll,
and then, with your coat or your
cloak waving in the air behind, you
SWoop down on the street car like a
great buzzard afraid of being late to
feast in the field.
Through the whole day you keep
on "buzzarding." All your work is
hurried and your discomfort grows.
II woman puts on her clothes wrong
at the outset half the pins ia creation
cannot keep them from twisting all
over. If 1T is man, he cuts himself
with his razor, his shirt creaks, mis-
Cuffs stick out, and his crossed sus-
penders worry him enough to make
up for two hours sleep instead of
ten minutes laziness.
Itspays to get up early In the coun-
try. 1t pays in the city, too, but II
pays better out among the trees. Be-
gin your day at o'clock, and the
birds sing, the air fills your lungs
with energy and self-confidence. and
you carry into your work a spirit
which makes you the better workman
and stronger man-it is the spirit
OF country stability or course you
must go to bed earlier. In the end
that may prove your greatest gain
1t y surprising how little genuine
good men and women find in being
awake after 10 O'Clock at night, in the
country. In the city, of course, the
later you stay awake the better you
can work next day. And if-in the
country-you do rise at o'clock, your
toilet can be made thoroughly, you
can get all the sand out of your eyes
you can eat a real breakfast-fruit
graham bread, vegetables, and either
an egg or chop-at your leisure, ant
you need not swoop down on the car
! Don't be a buzzard.

1t has been suggested, as the city
does not desire to purchase the
school building at Fifth and Kentuc-
ky avenue for city hall, that the
county sell the court house for a
school and buy the schoo, property
for a court house. 1t will be but few
years until the county has to build a
new court house, and already more
schools are needed. The school site is
ample for a court house, as ii is lar
ger than the government building
property and no yard is needed for :.
court house, while one is for a
school. The proposition has its ad-
vantagss and disadvantages and
there are doubtless many who will
favor as well as oppose it. The coun-
ty would be able to realize perhaps
several thousand dollars on the deal.
and bonds would have to be issued
by the board of education to pay the
difference in price and for the new
school. The tendency of modern
times is to build court houses with
out yards, and to build schools with
as large yards as possible to get. It
is at least a proposition to think
about.

NOW For THE ELECTION

The registration is now practically
over. Later on those who were alb
sent from the city, or too i'll to reg
lister, may enroll their names at the
county clerks Office, but they will
doubtless as usual be few.
II now devOlves upon the people
who have the interests of the city
at heart TO work for victory in No
yember, The registration is not al
ways a true prophet of the election.
A great many who have registered
as Democrats declare they will vote
against the Democratic ticket for
good and obvious reasons. Paducah
needs TO be rescued from ring rule,
and II cannot be accomplished by
voting the same crowd back in office.
Governor Folk. of Missouri, in a
speech in Philadelphia Monday
night. said among other things:
1.-THE most conspicuous fact Of mu-
nlcipal government in the United
States today is that they are govern
ments by the few. and not by the
people. There is more aggressive
rottenness and less aggressive patri-
otism in our large cities than any
where else. If the patriotism can be
made as aggressive as the rottenness
the problem OF good government
would be solved by the people taxi
ing the government into their own
hands. II corruption exists in Phil
adelphia. the people are 10 blame; II
The Paducah sun. [volume] (Paducah, Ky.) 1898-1906, 1905-10-18

corruption is to be eradlcated, the
people alone can do It.
"A political party has no right
to ask for support because It is that
party, but that Il stands for right. If
political party can not get votes
on the grounds of patriotism IL has
no right TO ask for votes on the
ground of partlsanship. Under our
form of government political parties
are necessary, for it is through them
they can come to agreements on pub
lie questions and announce their
principles and intentions, but polit-
ical parties should be the servants
OF the people, not their masters"
Property owners feel the oppres-
sion of high taxes in Paducah as no.
where else in the state. II building
in the city that cost $4,000. and
was assessed at the proper value,
yielded an income of $4,000 a year
in rentals. about 81 200 or 81, 400 of
this would have to be paid in city,
county and state taxes. leaving the
owners only about 5000 year on
the investment, out of which would
have to be paid the cost of repairs,
insurance and other necessary ex-
penses. We can't expect to build up
a city with handsome, substantial
buildings, when such a state of af-
fairs exists. 1t forces property own
ers to dodge taxes, grossly under
assess property and thus increase the
burden on others, or lose money.
And why?
Because thousands of dollars are
ruthlessly and wantonly squandered
every year by the city and county
There are scores of ways in which to
reduce expenses without the peoples
being subjected to hardships, or de-
prived of any of the few benefits they
now get for the money they are com.
PEELED to pay in taxes. The trouble
is the city administration does not
desire to stop the extravaganza, be-
cause few are getting the benefit
of it, and they will continue to get
the benefit of it as long as the clique
remains in power.
The voters should think about
these things, for they mean much to
them and their families. The city is
in the hands of few selfish men,
and the only way to extricate it is
by voting these men out of office.
1t will soon be time for the voters
to decide.
