The mayor tumbled into the trap
He refused to sign the city's official
protest against the police bill pend
ing in the legislature. He said he
was for the bill, and admits that 1t
was Matched up by some OF his
crowd, men he put in Office and who
always do his bidding. The bill the
mayor favors and refused to protest
against will require the tax taxpayers
to support nine or ten more patrol
men a year. They already pay
about $4,000 a year for police pro-
lection. and this bill the mayor Is so
intent on forcing on the people will
cost them an additional $1,000 a
year. Does the mayor expect the
people of Paducah to believe that he
really thinks Paducah needs these
extra policemen? Don't You sup
pose he has a suspicion that the peo-
pie know he is merely trying to help
out his friends, and add more of
them to the city pay rolls?

A SENSIBLE MOVE.

The board of aldermen last night
did a sensible thing in awarding a
contract for seventy-five lights to
priyaryA company. 1t is sensible Der
cause IT will save the city money, and
sensible because it will give the peo7
ple of Paducah a chance to see dur
ing the year the difference between
the cost and quality of lights fur
nished by private company and the
city. Usually a practical demonstra-
ton of a thing lis sufficient to con-
vince anyone, and people of various
opinions can best arrive at some defi-
mite conclusion in this way.
There are few people, unfortu-
nately, who are SO unreasonable
about such things that perhaps moth
ing will suffice to convince them. 1t
is largely this kind who stand around
on the corners and give fireworks
display on municipal ownership and
declare that the city ought to furnish
its own lights, no matter how much
more ii costs than the lights could be
obtained elsewhere. These men are
often sincere, but they have a pervert
ed idea of what is right and best for
the greatest number. They are not
friends to the people, because they
favor forcing the people to pay for
something they do not get, or to pay
more for something they get than is
necessary.
AS to the question Of which is the
best public policy, to save the people
money and get them better service.
or to force them to pay exorbitant
prices for inferior service, we are
willing to leave it to unbiased men
and to time.

Pat Grove was convicted long ago
in the yellow journals. but the ver-
dict was reversed by a real court.
Too many cases are tried in the news
papers nowadays. Pipe dreams
are published to create a sensation,
or sentiment for or against a person
or thing. and when the evidence fails
to sustain it, a deluded public thinks
there has been a miscarriage of JUS
tice, and begins to lose respect for
the law.
