INSPECT THE hooks.

The city finance committee should
employ first class accountant, not
connected with the city government,
to inspect all the books. There is no
suspicion that anyone connected with
the city government is short or lax
in his methods of keeping books; but
the books have not been inspected
thoroughly in many years. No one
knows VINO may inappropriate funds
in the future. When such a time
comes II will be a satisfaction to the
present Office holders to be able to
say the books were all right during
their terms, and il may save trouble
and money by making it necessary
only to 60 over the books as far back
as the present time. Improvement
in the methods of keeping accounts
may also be suggested. that will save
the city money and enable future in
spectors of the books to prevent
fraud. Certainly, no one could OBJ
ject to an inspection of the books
We suggest Mr. John ID. Smith as an

SOME STORIES
AROUND TOWN

Next time l.. b. Alexander. princi-
pal of the consolidated school at Lone
Oak, chooses to make race for Of
flee he will be more particular in
gathering up his dope" for the cam
paign arguments. Not that he failed
to make a good argument. but it was
so good that in part his platform
was adopted by the county school
board, although he was doomed TO
go down In defeat. At the recent
election Mr.. Alexander was the Re
publican nominee for county school
superintendent and made a splendid
race. In his speeches over the coun-
ty he attacked the policy Of the con-
sOlidated school, and showed the ex-
pense necessary to conduct the
school. One item he explained i'm
the extravaganza OF the employment
OF a janitor. who was paid a salary
OF $40 a month to keep the building
clean. At the time of the appoint
ment of the janitor some Of the trus-
tees objected. az the board forces all
Of the teachers to clean their rooms.
and thought 1t a bad precedent to
employ a janitor for the consolidated
school. At the last meeting Of the
board evidently some OF the trustees
had heard Mr.. Alexander's campaign
speeches, and the Office OF janitor OF
the consolidated school was discOn-
tinued, and now the principal OF the
school is forced to keep the rooms
clean as all other teachers are re-
quired Mr.. Alexander takes the
joke with good grace. but says next
time he will watch out for the III
winds.

the nominee for governor next time
and the most fitted candidates so far
named are of this section. Congress
man Ollie 7. James, Ruby Lafoon,
Charles X. Wheeler, eX-Congressmau
IN. ID. Allen and Judge 7 J. Nunn
have been mentioned and support for
each OF them has been gathered. But
Il is a question with the Democracy
of the state as to which one is avail
able and which one can please the
most people. as there Is no doubt
but that any one Of them would be
an honor to the party as the standard
bearer and would make the state a
good governor.
While Il is early TO begin the talk
Of selecting the nominee for the align
ment of all interests upon a favorable
man. and to Offset the development Of
any undesirable candidates. Il IL well
to be considering the matter. BY a
process Of elimination using the good
of the party as measure, western
Kentucky can put out candidate
that will bring Kentucky back into
the Democratic fold from top to bot
tom. and among that number from
which the leader Is 10 be picked the
