Frankfort, KY, March 23. There

The governor yesterday signed the
bill authorizing school boards in
second class cities to issue as much
as s15O.OOO in bonds for school
buildings, but the people must vote,
il is understood, on the question
before the bonds can be issued. This
law will be a good one for Paducah,
provided the people in case of ne
cessity, would support bond issue
for new schools. The present maxi
mum school levy hardly furnishes
enough money TO pay the current ex-
penses here, and leaves little or
nothing for buildings.

81 600 more of the taxpayers money
year. than required with the force
as 1t now is. Representative Head,
of McCncken county, got the bill
through at the instance of the may
or and his police commissioners, Ii
rs understood, and il met With no op-
position in the legislature, because
Representative Head told them II
was "a party measure" which is
usually sufficient in Kentucky leg
islature. The bin was designed
solely to create several more soft
snaps" for friends of Mayor Yeiser
and his administration. When this
81 900 luxury was being engineered
through the. legislature and every
one here knew that ii was solely to
put few more of the gang on Easy
Street. no voice was raised to OPP
pose it except that of The Sun and
the general council of Paducah.
When the latter passed resolutions
DIOltSNlHS dcdlhcl NiC hto1hANs Nbt
members were informed by one of
our so-called representatives in the
legislature that no better argument
could be offered at Frankfort for the
passage of the bill, than the objec-
tions of a republican general coun-
ell. So opposition was abandoned,
and the graft has been saddled onto
the taxpayers of Paducah. Those
to blame for it, however, doubtless
win be remembered by the people at
some future time. Among them
are the vaupted friends OF the peo-
pie, those independent, non-parti-
san, fearless champions of the peo-
pies rights who have remained ST.
lent and allowed this bill to be forced
ON a community of $4,000 people
for the benefit of a few politicians.

BOOST. DON'T KNOCK.

- Paducah's era of prosperity seems
TO be here. and the knocker is disap-
bearing. The slogan Is Boost,
Don't Knock" This is good battle
cry. for If everyone worked in har-
mony, It would be an easy matter to
build up city with the natural ad-
yantages and resources of Paducah,
in a remarkably short time. and with
a great deal less effort than when
people are found opposing every
good public move.
The word "knocker," however, has
won a place i'm the great American
ddctionery, and it will probably be
there. II is such a significant term
that the Owen County Democrat is
moved to remark, and to remark
SO we'll that what it says is well
worth giving the people of Paducah,
-as follows:
"Ih every community there are
certain people who find IT difficult or
impossible TO work in the line with
their fellows. They may be justly
accused of malicious motives, for in
many respects they are frequently
admirable citizens. Yet by some
constitutional twist they are usually
out of tune with the rest OF NAM
kind. o
''Such people often do 'incalculable
harm. They throw a damper on
every enterprise. They are really &c
be pitied, for they are of all men
generally the most miserable. Theirs,
indeed, is deplorable condition OF
mind, for there is no greater tenn
poral pleasure than that afforded
through the consciousness of being
in step with the great mass ones
fellows. To be always object ng and
obstr1cting is certainly unfortunate
for the individual
1T must be understood tfat the
right to justly criticise is denied; oh
no! For that would mean the endur-
ing of all manner of unjust if not
rascally proceedings without pro-
test, but it is rather to check the
propensity to discourage every hon
est effort for Advancement, improve
ment and development.
"It is a part Of healthful self-re-
spect to speak we'll of ones town and
of its institutions and enterprise.
We should welcome every well-be-
haved stranger and swing wide the
doors to every new industry. The
citizen belittles himself VINO speak
slightiDgly of his home or of an
new enterprise seeking TO gain a
foothold.

for desiring to obstruct 20 make sure
that you do not place yourself in the
unenviable position Of a kGo:ker."
