NEARING AN END
Il the Brilliant Series of Sermons
by bishop Woodcock.

Another large congregation was
present last night at the Grace
church Mission. Bishop Woodcock's s
theme was Salvation" and he han
died the subject with his characters
tic yigor. depth and breadth OF
thought. Throughout the sermon
he showed condusively the moral
result of knowing to do and not do
ing" in the gradual weakening OF
the will power and the final paralysis
OF mans highest and God-like attrlb-
utes.
There is nothing uncertain in the
chart Bishop Woodeook places be-
fore his hearers for spiritual guild
ance. The directions for following
aneo piain and to the point. and the
"wayfaring man" who errs therein
cannot possibly plead failure TO un-
derstand as the reason. They are
the old-time religious paths he
olazes out. and no new or bewilder-
ing by-paths of startling theories so
common today. to lure one aside. or
lead astray. but while "the road Is
straight" IT IS put before the hear
ers with a power and viyidness that
lights the way. t
Tonight's sermon will be on Holy
Bsptism." There will be only one
service tomorrow. that of . a. IN.
While there has been no effort for a
class for confirmation at this time. II
anyone should Indicate a desire TO be
confirmed Bishop Woodcock will ad-
minister the rite on Sunday.

tion that II is an effort OF the money
power to rob the dear people of their
sacred rights, and send the COM
munity into everlasting corruption
and ruin. II is usually safe, how
ever, to follow the lead of the busi-
ness interests of town or city. The
successful business men, as rule,
have won their spurs for honesty,
sagacity and good judgment. They
take a pride in upbuilding a city;
a larger. more prosperous, more pro-
gressive city means more people,
more business, more success and
prosperity for the successful and
prosperous. and they know it. Good
business men, as a whole, cannot
afford to be for any public measure
that does not tend to benefit the city,
and when the business interests
favor anything, 1t is impossible for
them to expect personal gain at the
expense of the people in general, and
improbable that their judgment is in
error.
Hence. those who would put their
judgment above that of such men,
should first show by what token a
community would be justified in ac-
cepting it. Every man has a right
to his opinion, but men should have
something more than that, before
they expect others to accept their
opinions as gospel.
They should ask themselves:
Have we made a success of our own
business, our own aspirations, our
own lives? If we are superior be-
ings, have We anything to show for
it? II we have done nothing for
ourselves.<can We convince others
that we can do anything for them?
May not others who have succeeded
where we have failed, know more
than we, after all. and be better ad-
vfsers of the people?"
f'tAnd,if they. arefwise men. true
answer 10 their Questions will, indi-
cate to them their proper place.

CHAINED TO a CORPSE.
Doleful Punishment OF the Ancients
Duplicated I'm Our Modern Life.


The Romans used to punish a muir
derer by claiming to his body the
corpse of his victim. Wherever he
went he dragged behind him the de-
bris of his crime, the sleazy cadaver,
revolving thing that was once a man.
Every day you see people dragging
around with them the corpse of their
sins. They can't get away from
them. And many of them have be-
come so intimate with these corpses
that they become corpses themselves.
The misery of these poor unfortu-
mates has become constitutional with
them. II fits them like an old shoe.
They have become accustomed to IL.
And there are thousands of hu
mans who are walking the earth to-
day with corpses attached to them,-
dyspeptic stohachs they can't get rid
of. They have to get along the best
they can with the stomachs they
have. And the owners of said dys-
peptic stomachs are to be found in
every walk of life. suffering from
some form of indigestion. first cousin
to dyspepsia.
They wear that forlorn appear
ance, their energy is at zero, nothing
interests them, and they interest no
one, their faces are sshrunk, their
nerves are wilted and their shoulders
sag. Are you one of the myriads
who dandle and crafty their palates
at the sacrifice of their stomachs?
Are you one of those who allow their
senses TO run riot, eating too much
drinking too much, eating az the
wrong time, eating the half-cooked,
the queer and the impossible?
Are you bloated after eating. and
imagine that II is your food that fills
you? Do you have nausea when you
look upon this or that, rebel at one
thing and be hungry for II, too, at
The same time? And have you got
a. whole lot of other things the mat
ter with your stomach that you know
about but nobody else does, and can't
explain? II so. you have dyspepsia.
real dyspepsia. And the chances
are you have had IL long time.
Your stomach Is overworked.
abused, tagged out. The gastric and
digestive juices are weak, the mus
cles of the stomach are jaded, and
the whole business needs new life.
1t. needs something which will take
hold of the food as II comes in and

very thing. They contain a most

Human nature Is a strange thing.
You often find men who have mis-
managed their own affairs and made
failure in everything they have
ever undertaken in life, and yet who
imagine they can run every other
mans business better than he can.
and who willingly, if allowed to do
so, would dictate the policy of city,
county, state or nation, and do it
with the firm conviction that they
were doing better than anyone else
could do 1t.

Forty years ago curly gray lock
was cut from the head of Mr.. Sam
Lecky, now deceased. and grand
father of Judge j. w. Hooker, and
placed between the leaves of the fam.
lily bible. says the Mayfield Messen-
ger. The hairs were about one inch

lock of hair had grown until they
were fully seven or eight inches long.

THAT POLICE BILL.

The general council of Paducah
obviously has a hard fight on its
hands TO prevent the Head police bill
going through the legislature. The
object of this bill is so plain that it
should have received no considera-
tion whatever in the Legislature. Pa
ducah now has ,twenty-four men in
the police department. Under the
Head bill IL will have to have thirty
three This may increase the police
expenditures 5000 year. and this
5000 will have to be paid by the
taxpayers The bill was railroad
ed through the house of representa-
tives. doubtless because 1t was rep
resented to some of the members as
without opposition. The press dis
patches sent out of Frankfort. when
II passed The house stated that Rep
resentative Head had tofd the Demo
cratic members that lit was a party
measure" thus insuring their votes,
and told the Republicans nothing,
hence the Republicans, thinking
there was no opposition, voted for 1t,
and the bill received unanimous sup
port.
1t will not be so easy in the senate,
however. Now that the taxpayers
of Paducah understand that the
Head police bill may mean $1,000
more a year they will have to pay
over to be dumped into the police
department. there is likely to be
something doing.
Even If the bill passes both houses.
however, there will still be chance
to secure the governors veto. 1t is
not believed that Gov. Beckham will
lend himself. to such a clear case of
attempted graft, and that when the
situation is. fully explained to him,
and the real object of the bill ex-
posed. he would not for moment
seriously consider signing II.

PUBLIC OFFICE NOT ALWAYS
PLEASANT. 1929

Evansville, Ind, is In the throes OF
a nasty squabble over granting a
telephone franchise. Part of the
people uphold the mayor and coun-
ell in granting the franchise and
part do not The imbroglio has
clearly demonstrated to the officials,
most of whom are reputable business
men serving their first terms, that
public Office is not always q pleasant
possession. ar ~ s.s
Mayor Boenhe,. in an address be
fore the Business Mems association,
which has indorsed the executive
and council, took philosophical
view of the "slings and arrows" of
opponents of his public acts, and
said:
at should be remembered, how
ever. that We represent no single
portion of the interests of this city,
nor any one class, but We have been
delegated to serve the whole people,
and all the interests irrespective of
position or occupation; hence 1t shall
always be cur motto to be fair and
just to all. Whatever our conscience
tells us is right, We propose at all
times to do; no unfair criticism, or
malicious attacks will swerve us
from doing that which We think is
our duty. assure you the road
which the chief executive of our city
has 10 travel is not always strewn
with roses and carnations; the only
pleasure and consolation / have thus
far experienced is. the consciousness
of having done what / considered my
solemn duty, as far as my ability
reached. God himself says that all
that can be expected of servant is
that he be found true"
This is the way fearless, manly
public servant should feel, talk and
act. Men are elected TO Office to
use their best Judgment in the in
terest of the people-not in the in
terest of any particular class, but in
the interest of the whole people.
There will always be found more
or less objection to anything that
may come before a public board.
Ueually the antagonists of move or
measure are the only ones who are
heard from, and sometimes they
make considerably more noise, and
create more confusion in the minds
of the peoples representatives than
the merits of the case demand or
justify.
If II is a COW ordinance, saloon
license, a new street, franchise or
a hundred other things, somebody,
and often many, are found who OBJ
ject to it, A city may go for years
without needed utilities, facilities
for travel. and other things, with
never a move towards providing
them at the expense of the people.

Mayor Yeiser Says App0rtiOn.
ment Ordinance is Illegal.
Members Of Boards, Only Smile and
Wonder Why He Signed II,
Then.
INTERESTING CITY MATTERS

Mayor ID. A. Yeiser says he thinks
the apportionment act passed by the
council few weeks ago is Illegal,
and that he so pointed out when he
signed it.
"The charter says the council
shall apportion. for each department
rs near as possible the amount to be
expended in that department, and
the council did not do tnis,' he ex-
planned today. take the appropria-
tion for the electric light plant ss,-
900, | believe, was apportioned,
when we know it will take more than
that. I understand the council has
an allowance for 1t In the contingent
fund, but this is not just according
to law, as you will see."
That contingent fund is being eyed
greedily by the city hall officials.
The council, not knowing just what
It would need for a good many de-
partments has apportioned $25,000
to that fund, and the city hall crowd
seems to think the council has about
appropriated all that is needed for
the departments and will have nice
little, sum to spend for Injuries, and
they want to get chance at IL.
There is no doubt, seemingly. but
they will make frantic efforts to do
so. too. They tell you now, when
asked where they will get the money
for the police IL they use up the ap-
portionment. that sit can come out OF
the contingent fund"
The council. however. has uses for
that fund,-good uses. In a few
weeks 1t will take up the park ques-
tlon. and start a movement for a
park or two, the light plant will be
put in good condition, the other
needed permanent improvements
such as a concrete bridge for Cald-
wen street. the Island creek bridge,
and works OF thai nature will be
taken care Of, and there will be no
more money than will be needed,
The tax rate will be s1.65. in all
probability, and the css ncilrhopes'to
give the city alb the improvements IL
needs. and have probably a little
surplus left at the end ef'the year.

The large wheel runs more steadily

In very clean ground with straight
rows OF small plants this tool can be
used to con siderable advantage; but
as rule, the single-wheel hoes are
easier to operate and do better work
In using all these tools 1t must be
remembered that their purpose is
chiefly to keep the top soil stirred. If
they are used with sufficient frequen-
cy-that Is to say, at least once a
week, they will prevent weeds from
becoming established. AS a rule these
tools, with the exception of an or
binary hoe, are not very satisfactory
in dealing with large weeds after they
become established. The principle on
which their successful use depends IS
early, frequent and thorough work.
