PARK BOND ISSUE.

We take II that IT. c. Rhodes by
his public interview is. in measure.
stalking his business reputation on
the statement that the issuance of
bonds TO the amount of 100000 for
park construction purposes will not
increase the taxes but will really in
the end reduce them. by increasing
the assessable value of property Of
the city.
Mr.. Rhodes is one of the park
commissioners, and the board is
composed of business men. who have
given careful thought to the best
plan for constructing a park system,
and have hit on the bond idea as
the wisest and most economical. The
park commissioners-not oneof them

Every one of them is a clear headed

widely varying points of view into
the discussion of the park question.
With this understanding Of the con.
ditions under which the park bond
issue proposition was, given birth, we
are prepared to agree that the
scheme is honest and, free from any
suggestion of ulterror motive: the

The facts brought out In the in
terview with former Mayor James
Lang in today's issue of The Sun
should reflect great light for the
few who are wildly talking about
the city building a new water works
system. Their great objection to the
proposed renewal of the contract
with the Paducah Water company at
reduction of $4,000 q year, has
been the argument that with this
contract running for eighteen years
the city would not build It's own
plant during that time, and would
be limited to purchase OF the water
company's plant II 1t desired to &C
cuire one. The facts brought out are
simply that. of the All fire hydrants
i'm use. the contracts for supplying
onlv $50 expire this year The con-
tracts for the remainder expire at
different times during the course of
the next twenty years, according TO
the dates on which the fire hydrants
were installed. In otaer words. the
ioriginal contract with the water
company provides that the city shall
paw an annual rental for each new
fire plug for twenty years from the
date of its installation. Most OF the
All fire hydrants have been Install
ed from time to time in recent years
and have a long term yet to run al
the old price, unless the new con-
tract is entered into. As one strong
advocate of building new water
system said. the city would hardly
build a new plant. while paying rem
tai to the water company. Under

pany agrees to include all hydrants
in the rate. by which 100000 will
be saved to the city for the period,
during which the city will have to

VOICE OF THE PEOPLE.
4 Voice Of Protest.

Editor of The Sun: Some of the
workers against the Republican
school board ticket are making Super
lntendent Lieb an issue in this cam
paign, and as citizen and patron
of the public schools | wish to raise
my voice in protest against this form
Of campaigning. We're Superintend-
ent l.ieb unified for his position,
dragging him into this fight would
only injure the discipline and the sue
cess of the public schools. He is un-
der contract and the election has
nothing to do with il. But, notwith-
standing that fact, | thank you for
affording me this opportunity to ex-
press my confidence in the successful
management of the public schools by
Professor Lieb, whom | believe TO be
one of the best educators ever In
charge of our schools. He has
brought them up TO date. has intro
duced the latest methods in teach
ing and has secured for the teachers
an increase in salary. The Republic
can candidates stand on platform,
pledging them to a policy of school
development, regardless of the per-
sonal claims and desires of any one.
Considering the nature of the pledge
and the character OF the men nom
mated by the Republicans for school
trustees, and comparing them with
The tactics being employed to defeat
them, | am certain no mistake can
be made in electing them. Surely
the men who are jeopardizing the dis
cipline of the schools to defeat the
Republicans cannot claim to be rum
ming in the interest Of school develop
ment. A PATRON.

Gypsies Make Life Burden for
Hickman People.

Hickman Ky. Oct. 31.-The
town yesterday was thrown into
great excitement over the arrival Of
twenty wagon loads of ragged and
dirty gypsies. Each wagon contain
ed from eight to ten people, there
being about 175 in the band. They
were raggel. with no clothes except
ing old table covers and such. and
the children were all bareheaded
and barefooted. regardless of the
cold weather. They stayed here only
two days, but the people were glad
to see them leave They camped in
West Hickman. went into the peo-
pies houses begging and stealing
everything they could. They wanted
to tell every persons fortune that
they came in contact with, and gem
orally played a good Skin game" on
those that bit.

used in less than fve years. That Is
certain. and ten years. perhaps,
would be nearer the truth. Each
year the commissioners Will estimate
the expenses for the ensuing year
and have bonds Issued accordingly.
The expense of maintenance during
the construction period will not be
anything. practically. After construc-
ton. naturally the maintenance ex-
penses will be far below the annual
appropriation. The probabilities are
that the bond issue will take care OF
the maintenance for some years. In
40 years the accumulation from the
annual park levy, estimated at the
present assessment and rate. will
amount 10 5000, 900. The natural in
crease in the value of property will
necessarily increase the annual reve-
nue.. which must grow with the as
sessment, the rate being permanent
|ly fixed. The parks themselves will
increase the assessable value OF
property. as shown by the report of
City Assessor Louis Summers, of
Louisville, published few days
ago.
The reason the commissioners
have decided on 40 year bonds Is,
that they have ascertained that long
time bonds bring a better rate in the
market.
This in general is the plan. The
Sun makes this outline today. Next
Saturday night the park commits
sioners and Hon. Hal S. Corbett VIII
speak on the subject at the market
house. The Sun asks you we'll TO
study this plan. and go to the mar
ket house primed with whatever
questions and objections present
themselves to your mind and put 1t
Iup to the commissioners to answer.
II is their plan, and they are sincere.
If you can puncture the park bond
proposition go there and puncture 1t;
but do the park commissioners the
justice of attending the meeting Sat
urday night. That meeting is espe-
clally designed for those who have
not decided how to vote.

The Rigors Of Cold weather.

Probably at no time of the year
does the physical condition of the
body demand more attention than
Just at this season, the beginning of
cold weather.

the cold weather goes hard with you.
Naturally the thing TO do is TO
get the circulation IN good order,and
the whole system toned up to stand
The rigors of winter.
Some physicians prescribe the dali
" cold bath, others seek recourse in
blood tonics and other stimulants,
but, probably the most rational treat
ment of all is the Osteopathic. as
Osteopathy more quickly, and more
effectively rights the blood flow and
restores normal conditions than any
other known treatment.
Osteopathy is only natural
treatment, a method of bioodless sur
gical manipulatlons to remove any
obstructions interfering with the pro-
per transference of nerve force, or
natural blood flow, or the other fu-
ids, to the organ or part involved.

LANDLORDS BLOCK LAND ACT.
John T.. Redmond Declares Only
Remedy IL Compulsion.

London. Oct. 3l.-John Z. Red
mond moved the adjournment of the
house OF commons today in order TO
call attention to the lack Of progress
in the matter OF reinstating eyicted
tenants in ireland. owing, as the
speaker alleged, to the landlords re-
fusing to sell untenanted lands. The
land commissioners were consequent
ly unable to provide farms for evict-
ed tenants. Mr.. Redmond said It was
obvious that the government must
resort to some system of compulsion.
Chief Secretary Tor Ireland Bryce
said the government had done its
best, and IL the remedy was compul-
sion,the government might have come
to that.
