ExcEssIvE suPERRv1sIoN.


Here's a thing we don't under
stand, the McCracken county fiscal
court elected Magistrate Thompson
road supervisor at 500 the month.
Naturally we assumed that the fiscal
court had confidence in Magistrate
Thompson's ability, or it would not
have elected him to such a position.
But the first time he really has any
thing important to look after, the
supervision of the construction Of
bridges over Perkins creek and
Clark's river, the fiscal court elects
Bert johnson supervisor of con-
struction for the county at sf00 the
month. Now, Road Supervisor
Thompson evidently thought be was
competent, for he assured the court
he could look after the county's in
terest and save that extra 800 the
month. II the court hasn't conf
dence in Road Supervisor Thompson,
the members are subject to criticism
for electing him. IL they have con-
fidence in him, the members are sub
ject TO criticism for spending that
extra 800 each month for a man.
whose services are not needed by the
county. At any rate that job ought
to be well supervised, If IL Is not
neglected through conflict Of author
ity.

day schools would break up in a row.
Because our political nominees
are not selected as honestly and fair
ly as the officers OF a Sunday school,
is the reason there is so much com
plant on the part of the rank and
file of the people. For a child to act
as dishonesty in the selection Of a
Sunday school officer as men do In
these conventions, his parents would
take him out behind the house and
give him a good spanking, but the
News Democrat would have us believe
it is wrong to act wrong in the Sun
day school, but right to act wrong in
the convention.
Dishonesty in conventions is worse
than in Sunday schools, and as long
as it is tolerated so long will we have
dishonest men in public life.
"a reform must come in the selec-
ton of our public nominees or else
the great common people will always
look upon a nominee with at least a
slight degree of suspicion. u
Dishonesty is just as reprehensi-
BILE in a convention os it is out and
should be condemned equally as
much"
