Two QUESTIONS SUBMITTED.

II is characteristic of this general
council and this administration. that,
in spite of the lack of enthusiasm in
the election of city officers, they
should add popular interest to the
event by according the people an op-
portunity to participate In the bust
ness of the municipality. This coun-
ell has been closer to the people than
any of its predecessors within the
memory of man. Two propositions
are submitted to the voters. One of
them, the water contracts, is printed
in today's issue of The Sun and
should be carefully studied. OF the
other, the issue of 100000 munich
pal bonds for park improvement
purposes, we shall have more to say
in the future, and perhaps, the
board of park commissioners will
publish a carefully written exposi-
ton of their whole scheme of park
development and the part which this
money is to play in the work. Suf-
flee ii to say now. that the park
board composed of men of affairs,
who understand business methods,
has made certain that the bonds will
add not cent to the citys standing
Indebtedness in the long run, while
in no year will they increase the tax
rate Or interfere with any reduction
in the rate, which might otherwise
be possible The estimate OF the
board OF park commissioners is bas-
ed on the fact that the park appro-
priation is fixed by the state and
cannot be reduced by the city. At
the last session of the legislature,
the charter of second class cities
was amended to create a board OF
park commissioners and in the same
act levy of five cents on the 800
was fixed as the minimum annual
appropriation for park purposes.
This levy under the present assess
ment will amount to something like
$4,000. IL never will rail- below that.
As the city grows-and the acquisi-
ton of an extensive park system will
promote its growth-this fund will
steadily increase. Now the park
commissioners have estimated that
in 20 years this money would all be
available in annual installments. So
they concluded that the best way is
TO secure the funds IN lump. use
them all during, the first two or
three years and have the park sys-
TEN coming on for the pleasure OF
the generation, which must pay for
them. 10 years in advance of their
ordinary prospects. The advantage
of this scheme is manifest. The
whole system may be started and de-
veloped at once. Parks in all parts of
the city may be built at one time.
The legislature has so fixed It that
Paducah will have parks sooner or
later. If they are beneficial at all the
sooner they come the sooner we will
be benefited by them. Furthermore.

BOARD OF HEALTH.
Adopt Some Stringent Regulations
mt Meeting.

All slaughterhouses must be NOV
ed outside the city limits in year.
This is the edict of the board of
health pronounced at the regular
meeting last night. The board also
considered the matter of fixing the
responsibility for tearing down
warning cards posted on houses in
which there is a contagious disease.
The general council was requested
to enact an ordinance fixing the re-
on the head of the house
and making it an offense punishable
by a fine to permit the card TO be
torn down.

land can be purchased now more
cheaply than In future years, and
with the money available. the COM
missioners can carry out their plans
at less expense than by having the
work done piecemeal Any mans
experience will corroborate the last
statement. The park commissioners
have so planned their management
of the funds that a sinking fund will
be created out of the bonds and the
annual appropriation, by which at
the expiration of the term of last
outstanding bond the money will be
available with which to pay it off.

Daniel NJ. Lord has been actively en-
gagged in business in Chicago for many
years He has been quite as willing as
other citizens to foster public move
ments, but lack of time and the require
ments of his own business in the past
have prevented him, as they prevent
many others, from giving that attention
to public affairs which a city like Chi
cago sorely needs. Recently Mr. Lord
retired from business and thus gained
leisure for; the study of subjects of gen.
eral interest. He is now in Europe
where he is learning lessons in city gov
eminent that ought later to prove OF
benefit to his home city 80 80

i !: London, Sept *s1S.-In conn ectioh with
the detention of steamer passengers by

ously a communication from. G. R. Sims,
OF Mrs. Mary Ann Bully, who arrived
at New York On the steamer Carmania

She wasssa second class passenger, but

pense. The American people, however,
are on a higher level these days, and
the increasing use Of luxuries, some Of
which, thru familiarity, are beginning
to be looked upon as necessaries, is
thing not to- be passed over in this
connection.
Sometimes the statement is heard
that when prosperity rules the rich
reap the profits: This emanates from
false conception Of the. true relation
ship between invested capital and la
Dor and their interdependence for profit.
When the country enters a period OF
prosperity and great business activity,
it is usually the case that in the early
part. in the first year or two of five
or ten-year period, differences unfair
to the workingman may be found.
Prices rise and the cost of living goes
up; while wages sometimes lag. This
adjusts itself later. & The old law : of
compensation works it out. 49, .-.,5 i
Individual instances prove little in
a consideration SO wide as the state Of
labor in America. There may be the
occasional cases of inadequate compen-
sation. measured by the changing stand
ards of the past few years, but, gener-
ally speaking, the reverse is true. The
margin between wages and the in
creased cost Of living has been wiped
out, and, labor's return, from recent
figures heard, is now we'll above the
|. percentage Of increase in expenses, pre-
senting situation wherein every able.
bodied, workingman is able to secure
employment at more than a mere living
wage. - ." ~: .*as@E -:
We sometimes hear of rise in the
price of commodity, or bull
market in securities. Labor is no less
commodity than other things, and
at present there is strong and rising
market.
The investing capitalist has not alone
been favored. The prosperity of the
working class is not so easily illus
trated by lump statement, since dis
tribution consists in the dividing w
of the gross gain into minute particles
yet in the aggregate they create fo]
the country an era Of contentment an(
satisfaction.
The prosperity of the country is gen
eral In his own environment and sub
ject to the necessary limitations Of hi
position in life, the laborer is toda,
enjoying relatively the same prosperit,
as the millionaire.
