Hudson City. one Of the garden spots

monster--a conglomerate of millions
of big black ants that invaded the
houses of the Hudsonians. devastated
their gardens and desecrated their
wardTobes. The agile pests swarmed
over the summer-houses that dot the
pretty gardens of that attractive SUI
bnrb, driving forth pensive maidens
and fairly taking possession of whole
districts. Here. there, everywhere
they oyerran the place. On every
side could be seen a phalanx of the

MEAT INSPECTION.

II is very little benefit to the people
OF Paducah to pay $50 or SEQ a
month to meat and milk inspector,
and then allow meat peddlers to put
uninspected meat in groceries and
meat markets, to be sold indiscrimi-
nately to an unprotected public
There is only one successful way to
inspect meat, and that is to fix Sc
we're penalty for selling any piece Of
meat that has not been inspected,
and then establish headquarters
where all meat must be taken to the
inspector and there be inspected and
stamped. This would necessitate all
these meat peddlers who go through
the county and buy meat, some OF
which, 1t has been claimed, and we
hope erroneously,- died, and some
was killed by trains and in other such
ways, bringing IL TO town for inspec-
ton instead of selling it to meat mar
kets, grocers and otherwise dispose
of IL where the meat inspector never
sees 1t.
successful meat and milk inspec-
ton in any place imposes hardship
on those who sell, but it affords
the thousands of people composing
the public some protection, and the
public is what the authorities are
supposed to protect. The present
system of milk and meat inspection
in Paducah is a farce, and thousands
of pounds OF meat are sold every day
that have never been within mile
of the inspector. The peoples of Pa
ducah should be given the proper
kind of inspections or the inspector
abolished and his salary devoted to a
better cause.

Oyster Bay. Sept. 15.--The con
tract for the hotel and subsistence
concession of the Panama Canal ZonQ
awarded Jacob +. Markell, of Omaha
Neb.. by President Shonts Of the
Panama Railroad company will stand
This. in effect, is the decision OF
President Roosevelt. who approved
the reports on the subject made t..
him by Shonts.
The contract amounts, in the az.
gregate TO many million of dollars
but the Shonts report indicates that
II may be abrogated at the will of the
government, which actually will owr
the permanent plant used by Marke
IN flling the terms of his contract.
The president authorized the pub
lication of the report he had received
from Mr. Shonts as president of the
Panama Railroad company, regard
ing the protest recently received by
him from Hudgins and Dumas and II.
Il. Alfe, of New York, against the
award of the contract to Markell
The report is simply statement
OF various steps Shonts took In the
matter and the reasons which impell-
ed him to grant the contract TO Mar.

The protest forwarded to the pres
ident by Hudgins. and Dumas and
II. Balfe alleged they had not been
accorded fair treatment by Shonts
and through a leak in Shonts' office
Markell had been informed of the ma
ture of their propose. and had been
enabled thereby TO incorporate in his
bid the menu which Hudgins and
Dumas had submitted.
The Shonts statement clears up
these allegations TO the satisfaction
Of the president. He. therefore, has
approved of the report. and no fur
Their action concerning the protest
will probably hs taken.
Shonts says all the bids were made
on the same specifications: that the
menu referred to by protesianrs was
prepared by Hudgins and Dumas and
by their permission was made part OF
the specifications upon which all bids
and that that is the way Il got into
Markets BID. Shonts says that in
every item but one Markell was either
as low or lower than Hudgins and
Dumas.

SEND THE CHILDREN TO SCHOOL

SEND The Cf1llDREN III oSf1OOL
The people of Paducah who recog-
nize in education the salvation of the
nation and race, may we'll ask them
selves where the school children OF
Padutah are.
The last school census taken in Pa
ducah showed 6,195 children of
school age here. The enrolment the
last time 1t was announced was some
thing over 2,7O0. Since then num-
Der of pupils have doubtless entered
the public schools, and there are no
doubt few children who go to pri-
vate schools, but all told, 1t is safe
to venture that count of every
child attending schools of all descrip-
tions in Paducak would show less
than half the 6,195 the census says
are here.
II these children are not in school,
why2 That's what the schools are
for, and the law requires that child
rem between certain ages attend
school, with a few exceptions and
and requires the appointment of tru-
ant officers TO see that children go to
school. or if they do not go to school,
why they don't. No truant officers
have ever been elected here, although
the law requires that they shall be.
If there were truant officers, there is
no telling how many of the 5000
school children of Paducah now at
tending no school, would be required
to go and get an education.
Many of these children probably
do not want to go to school, and ig-
norant and depraved parents of some
OF them may not want them to go,
but the children will never regret
having gone when they are older.
The question why these children
are allowed to grow up in ignorance
aud possibly crime, which may come
later on, is one that should be inves-
MATED 5000 children growing up
a. Ignorance in a community at this
age And time, will soon become me-
mace to society. Good people do not
approve of 1t. Preachers. lawyers,
doctors and others would tell you
that II is an outrage.-only perhaps
none of them has stopped to think
about 1t. or about what it signifies
