Berry, of Paducah, Is member OF
the state executive committee and we
believe his action In the senatorial
convention which met in Paducah
last week was slightly un-Democratlc
and contrary to the best policy and
usages of the party"
Today we received the following
letter from the editor of the Airing
ton Courier:
while we are Democratic, we do
not like nor endorse any such bust
ness as was carried on IN your town
at the alleged convention and do not
hesitate to say so, as you perhaps
noticed from our last issue which we
sent you. We notice what the News
Democrat said about your report of
the proceedings. Tread Tuesday and
Wednesdays report, and, having sat
in the press pen. considered your
report of the proceedings by far more
than that of the News, since

coNvrNrIoN EcHoEs.

In the Sunday issue the News
Democrat paid The Sun a delicate
compliment by intimating that the
Democratic papers OF the First con-
gressional district secured their in
formation, concerning the Second
senatorial district convention from
The Sun, when both The Sun and the
News-Democrat reported II. How
ever. our tenacious fancy for the
literal truth forbids our silent ac-
quiescence in that complimentary
allusion. All those comments we
have quoted on the convention, were
written by editors, who attended the
convention, and since the News-Dem-
oerat's manager and editor and local
stan, together with all it's STOCKHOLM
ers were present at the convention,
and some OF them conversed with
aforesaid editors. we feel reasonably
sure II is known at the News-Demo-
crat office, where those editors got
their Information.
Today we quote from the Mayfield
Messenger, whose editor attended the
convention, an editorial credited by
him to the Calvert City Times. Since
the latter valuable paper has not
reached our desk, we publish the
quotation on the authority of the
Mayfield Messenger:
THE editor OF the Times has been
told that II is not good policy for

will be solemnly told that they are in
honor bound to support the ticket

picked out the ticket in advance and
did not leave the voters much to
choose from in the way of contests
for councilmanic positlons.-we wish
to give this advice to all citizens.

RESPONSIBILITY OF THE FISCAL

More in the spirit of criticism OF
the system than of the fiscal court,
The Sun refers to the allegations
that for ten years Hiram Smediey,
lately county court clerk and before
that a deputy, passed forged orders
on the county. and they we're ap-
proved by the fiscal court without
question. That the alleged pecula-
tons. IL so, are discovered. is to the
credit first of William Husbands.
state revenue agent. who commenced
proceedings in behalf of. the state to
recover the shortages from the clerk
or the bonding company.
We know how those things get
through. The finance committee of
the fiscal court is given a list OF
claims. asks the clerk about them,
maybe and maybe not. and recon-
mends their approval by the court.
The magistrates. who do not hear
half the report read. unless atteD-
tion has previously been called to
some item. approve as recommended.
And that went on for ten years while.
it is charged $1,000 was taken from
the county.
The magistrates are body of citi-
zens, elected by their fellow-citizens
to represent their magisterial dis
tricts. and look after these matters.
The fiscal court stands in the place
of the public mass meeting. We are
pleased to observe that hereafter all
claims will be carefully scrutinized.
Either this must be done or the peo-
pie must be careful whom they elect
fiscal officers, and keep out drunkards
and gamblers and men liable TO be
tempted to stead or to become in
competent.
