GIVE THE PROPERTY OWNERS
FAIR PLAY.

More concrete sidewalk work has
been authorized by the general coun-
oil, contracts for which, II let accord
ing to the plan in vogue, will cost
the property owners sixteen or eigh-
teen cents a square. while the same
work is being done in Brookport,
right across the Ohio river, for ten
cents. This cost can be cut more
than a third, by simply authorizing
each property owner to have the
work done according to specifications
furnished by the city engineer.
When large contracts are let and
the contractor must collect from the
property owners after the work is
finished. only a man with thousands
of dollars backing can bid; because
he must DE able to purchase his ma
terial and pay his men and wait for
his pay. II each property owner is
allowed to let his contract. a dozen
men will bid at ten cents. where
about three now bid at sixteen and
eighteen cents The work must be
accepted. OF course, by the city engi-
neer, and IL property owner refuses
TO let his contract. the city can have
the work done. and assess the cost.
That IS a very simple remedy. II is
practicod in other cities. where the
work is done just as satisfactorily as
in Paducah.
II Is about time property owners
were relieved OF this excessive bur

nicely into the allegation that not
only are theft and graft common at
the McCracken county court house

ed without a complete cleaning out
in every department.
IL was all done too easily and
smoothly to be convincing The
charge is made that the truth can
not be ascertained with the ring in
control OF the books. the letting OF
contracts and the administration OF
justice. Judge Ben B. Lindsay in
his articles in Everybody's shows
that justice is clogged by political
rings. The first move of the night
riders was to stuff the jury wheels.
Every time a reform Is undertaken
in Cincinnati, il is found that the
prosecuting officers are in the way.

that II Is impossible under the cir
cumstances TO get at the bottom of
the matter. Give us a county judge
who owes no political debt to the
ring: give us a county attorney. who
is not only not in sympathy with the
crowd. but who is wholly at enmity

anxious to search out irregularities
Of his predecessors. so that he may

other officers, whose inclination will

under such a light. We may restore
their credit; but who believes they
would?

THE NEws-DEMoCRAT AND THE
PULPIT

Once more the News-Democrat
pours the walls of its wrath on the
Christian ministry. In the course of
an editorial on the Barry Eaton Incl
dent this morning il says:
1T Is more than matter of regret
to observe that one of the crowd
chiefly concerned in urging these
men into doubtful paths occupies a
position Of the highest trust. a posi-
ton which in the natural order of
things, should be used to the end
that men might be urged to be true
rather than false, and that love
rather than hate and prejudice might
be engendered in the hearts of his
fellow men,"
Again in another column it says:
"The man who implies anything to
which he could not make oath, IL re-
CURED to do so, is more malicious
even than a scandal monger for the
latter does not with malice afore-
thought tell the stories ne has heard.
And when such man wears the
livery of Him who taught love and
forgiveness and sent his followers out
with love Of fellow man as the foun-
dation Of his faith 1t seems that
Judas lscar.ot left his curse upon the
land though he died the ignominious
death he won for himself"
If the writer of those frenzied out
bursts would consult his Bible he
might find that "He, who taught
love and forgiveness. was reviled
and criticized and prosecuted and
mlsrepresented by an element OF clti-
zenshlp closely conforming in mang'
respects to that element. which the
News Democrat represents in its
policy OF attacking the ministers to-
day.

Illness was assiduously attended by
physician, to whom she invariably
her. He told the friends with whom
she lived that her death would proba-
bly, be very sudden, and one day when
she seemed to have become uncon-
scious the doctor was hastily sent for.
On his arrival he found that his pa
ticnt had ceased to exist, and, taking

closed but not rigid, he calmly ex-
tracted from it the customary fee, re-
marking as he did so to the attendant

SOME SOCIAL NOTES.

On "Wednesday Mrs. Sewell was at

The day was a beautiful one and if
the ladies could have known what the
rest of the week was to be in weather
they would have been even more de-
lighted with the sunshine. fancy work
and conversation which filled the all
too quickly flying hours. A very nice
two course supper was served, the
guests being seated at small tables.
red and white carnations made the
rooms exceedingly attractive. Mrs.
Sewell was assisted in serving by her
daughter, Mrs. McConnaghney, and
Miss Bernice Osborne.
Despite all that the blizzard could
do to "bliz" away social doings quite
a number braved the storm Friday
for Mrs. Sewell's second party. A
hearty welcome and much good cheer
made the ladies feel we'll repaid for
the effort Certainly Mrs. Sewell
had reason to feel fattered by the
strong desire to be her guests in the
face of such storm.
Thursday Mrs. Burch entertained
