ON THE RIGHT TRACK.

Paducah's business and profession
al men are rapidly advancing to-
wards those ideas which are essen
ia.L+a-lhe growth and prosperity of
O city. They realize that We have
everything TO make Paducah a great
city. and have only to get TO work
TO do 1t.
One of the first and most difficult
tasks is to convert. ior relegate to
their proper place, those who cling
to obsolete or antiquated ideas of
civic government, and cannot per-
ceive that times have changed, and
that We no longer live in village or
country town. This is being done
slowly but surely Some are being
converted TO the new doctrine, and
some are being crowded out of the
way. At any rate, you can easily see
that Paducah's leading men, through
the commercial club, are buster than
tNtI btiOit, anu lulluCl ihOlts thde
they are accomplishing things.
Another force with which they
must wrestle, and which they will
have to overcome, is that of citizens
who put personal interests above
those of the people as whole, such
as those who are always found op-
posing any public improvement, no
matter how imperative for the pub
Bic good, because such improvement
would cost them something. This
class, fortunately. is also rapidly di-
minishing.
OF course all kinds of people are
always TO be found in every city, but
where the proper effort is exerted by
the progressive elements of a COM
munity, the Others will eventually
not count. This is the history of ev-
cry city that ever amounts to. any
thing.
With progressive ideas dominant,
modern Improvements follow, a city
becomes more healthful, more at
tractive. and more pleasant to live
in. and these advantages build up a
city and bring prosperity and happi-
ness to all who care TO avail them
selves of them.
We have started for Greater Pa
ducah, and there's room enough for
all in the band wagon.
