Communication From +" Another
Citizen"

10 the Citizens and Voters of Paris:
Do not be alarmed by the numerous
articles in the county papers, with
which we are treated, oh, so often !
They are all written by the same
writer and signed by the same signer.
He has as many signatures as the CEN
ltepede has legs. So don't be alarmed,
only read, grin and bear it, it will soon
be over. Be gentle with him and let
your sympathies prevail, for it is as
natural for him to write as it is for
the OK to pull when driven by his mas
ter AS the drowning man He says.
willie write" and Willie writes.
Seeing therefore, that every article
signed Democrat" Voter, !" ''Citi-
zen, etc., ETC., emanates from the
same quill at the dictation of the same
chief, do you wonder that his articles
are taken lightly by the public?
He first treats you with an article
entitled Political Catechism. He
tells you in hat. that Hinton was
Mayor for about sixteen years at three
hundred dollars per year, and that he
could have been Mayor for sixteen
more years for so very much less than
we pay our Mayor now. That is true.

hem Suppose he had been Mayor for
sixteen years longer, where would
Paris be now? 1t would be just where
his scribe says it would be. In the

vile. What did be do during his al
ministration? Cite me one thing done
in the interests of the city of Paris to
commemorate his services as our
Mayor. Did he close the saloons on
/ Sunday? No, if he had the saloonkeeper
would have rented from someone else.
| Did he have ample fire protection and
low insurance rates? Did we have good
streets and sewage? Did we have
low gas light rates, and why?
No, none of these. The city was
turned over to O'Brien and his cabinet
in as crude state as the ideal Carlisle
and Clintonville of the scribe's imag-
ination. 1t remained for him to give
US and our wives and children quiet
and holy Sundays, the only Mayor ever
known to accomplish it successfully.
1t remained for HIM to see that our
little city was stagnant and to start
progressive movement in every way.

phetic vision How did Mr.. Moore know
in advance without TALKING to any
member Of the Council Gas ne says
that the members of the Council would
at it's next meeting, for the first time
in the history of Paris, vote them
selves pay, and draw in advance an
ordinance allowing pay to them (the
amount only being left blank? What
was the evident purpose of inserting
this clause about paying the Council
men? Why it possessed supernatural
power.
Can Mr.. Moore make anybody be-
lieve that his Office companion
did not lean over his should
er and smile at this little piece of
strategy about paying the Councilmen
when the Councilmen mad not said a
word about wanting any pay (as Mr..
Moore confesses)?
Mr.. Moore says: During the eight
years served the city IN that capacity,
it was not only my official duty but it
was my invariable custom to prepare
such ordinances and notify the Coun-
Gil, etc. When, Mr.. Moore, did you
ever before prepare such an ordinance?
When before in all the history of Paris,
was an ordinance ever drawn by you,
or anybody else. consolidating the Office
of Mayor WITH the position of Chair
man of. the Improvement Committee,
and allowing pay to Councilmen? Why,
for the first time in the history Of Par
is was such an ordinance drawn just
before the election and too late for op-
position. but just in time for your
friend O'Brien to reap the benefit?
II
supernatural powers of knowing things
in advance, and without consulting any
member of the Council as he says drew
up in advance an ordinance to meet ex-
actly what the Council was going to do
at the next meeting, different from
what had ever been done before in
Paris by any Council. Or shall we be-
lieve that Mr.. Moore's memory fails
him, and that while Mr.. Moore wrote
the ordinance, as he says, that O'Brien,
the power behind the throne in the
I city Hall, dictated its terms, as he was
accustomed to do in City matters,
and as he was more interested in its
passage than any body else? Again,
! Mr. Moore says: "Mr. O'Brien could
hardly vote against the passage of an
ordinance fixing the salaries of all
city officers" Don't everybody know
that if O'Rrien had stood up and said
to the Council that the salary was too
big, and that it was not treating the
people right to allow such a salary,
that the other Councilmen would have
/ fixed the amount at any reduced sum
O'Brien stated? As O'Brien was going
to collect the salary, of course the
other Councilmen would have been sat-
isied with any less amount which was
satisfactory to O'Brien. O'Brien could
have blocked the passage of the ordi
nance and forced them to reouce mis- sal
airy. if they would not have voluntari-
ly done so.
Again, even if the other Councilmen
could have forced an ordinance of
$4,000 a year. could not O'Brien have
refused to accept any S UGH unjust COM
pensatioD? In other words, can Mr..
Moore impress any voters in Paris with
such transparent argument?

When | saw the article Political
Catechism" in the paper expected to
hear from Mr.. Moore. After the un-
disputed facts and cold figures in ''Po-
litical Catechism' were given out to
the voters of Paris to read, Mr.. Moore,
with all his binding prejudices in IA
v0r of his old friends who kept him in
the Office of City Attorney so long, with
big salary, ssw-any body could see--
Mr.. Moore could see, hat his friends
O'Brien & Co.. needed withdrawing
and needed it ba1ly.
Mr.. Moore says in reference to this
Ordinance, whereby the salary
of the Mayor was raised from
$500. 90 to $1,000. 90 per year only IL days
before the general election, and too
late for the people of Paris to bring
out an opposing candidate: There is
no statute requiring such Ordinances to
be passed at any particular time. -
Thanks. Mr.. Moore, thanks. ! thought
you were going to prove that O'l;rien
& Co. had to pass the Ordinance just
when they did and could not have pass
ed it at any time sooner than they did,
which IF course would have been a
good defense But in your card you
said that they did not have to wait un-
Gil the possibility of opposition was
cut off. You admit that they could
have passed the Ordinance at any time
and in time to give the voters of Paris
chance to bring out a candidate af.
ter that salary hosting ordinance was
passed. Mr.. Moore, you left your
friends In bad fix. In your card you
have admitted this without explaining
Why they did in fact wait until upposi.
tion was cut off to pass this obnox-
ious Ordinance. Does Mr.. Moore be-
lieve, or does any body believe, that
if O'Brien & Co. had passed an ordi-
nance in time for opposition, it would,
as to the Mayor, have made a jump
from $500. 90 per year to $1,000. 90 pei
year?
No sir anybody can look at that or
dinance and tell it was passed after
opposition was cut off. 1t looks like it
1t smells like it MIR. Moore, you
make anotherstriking admission you
admit that Mr.. O'Brien's vote was
necessary to pass this Ordinance.
Thank you again. thought you would
saddle it on the fellows who got less

O'Brien. seeing his vote was necessary

for it? Voted to increase his own sal
airy from $4,000 to Sl,2O0.O0 a year,
knowing he could defeat it by one
shake of the head? Mr.. Moore, are you
not mistaken in saying he voted for
it? Surely you forgetl Surely Mr..
O'Brien stood up with glori6ed look
of self denial and said: ''When Ioffer-
ed my name as a canoiqate for the
Democratic nomination for Mayor of
Paris, the Office paid only $4,000 per

airy as ever voted for any other May
or? When my own interests conflict
with the interests of the people of
Paris. shall listen to the demon Of
selfishness and forget the dear people
of Paris? The Gods forbidr'
Now Mr.. Moore, you say O'Brien did
not speak thusly, hut contrarywise vct-
ed to raise his salary, not to double it
merely. not to treble it. but to quadru-
pie it.
But there is another sensation
al admission in Mr.. Moore's card: ''In
the discharge of my duty and without
I being required to do so by any one and
without consulting anyone. prepared
the ordinance in question and gaveit to
Mr.. Webb, and told him to have it pass
/ ed by the Council-the ordinance was
complete when / gave it to Mr.. Webb
with the exception of the amounts of
the salaries which were left blank.
The ordinance added very largely to
the Mayors duties and made the po-
sition much more onerous than everbe-
fore.'
Of course we all understand how the
! Council when they desire to pass an
ordinance and decide what they want
to ordain, can call upon the City Attor-
ney to draw up what the Council has
decided to pass. Is it possible that
Mr.. Moore, as he says. before the
Council met, and without saying word
to any member of the Council, in a
moment of prophetic anticipation. mys-
teriously guessed in advance what
the Councilmen wanted passed in the
way or an ordinance. and knew in ad-
vance that, contrary to what had ever
been done in the City before the
Council would, at its next meeting,
consolidate the Office of Mayor nth the
position of Chairman of the Improve
ment Committee? Wonderful prophet
ic vision Are you not mistaken, Mr..
Moore? Did not the same spirit of your
bosom friend and office sharing COM
! panion, Mr.. O'Brien, which asserted it
self at the moment he voted to increase
his salary from $780, 90 to $1200.00 per
year, take peep over your shoulder in
your Office when you were preparing
that ordinance, an smile at
this little combination Of Office
mayor and Chairman of the Improve
ment Committed as being mathe-
NAUTICAL prodigy in the way of salary
LITTER. as will presently appear?
Mr.. Moore says that while the Office
of Mayor had always paid $4,000 per
year, this ordinance increased its du-
ties. How? By adding to the Office of
Mayor the duties of Chairman of the
Improvement Committee.
Heretofore what had the office of
Chairman of the Improvement Com
mitee paid? Nothing. What, in cities
of the fourth class in Kentucky does
it pay? Nothing one exception
only and in that case, $3.50 for each
meeting of the City Council. Then
the matter stands thus automatically ::
Former salary of Mayor .S 800. GO
Former salary of Chairman of
Improvement Committee. co.. 90
Combined Offices result 81 200. 90
Some of the voters may not under
stand the sleight-of-hand performance
by which adding together an Office
paying $500. 90 per year to an Office pay
ing nothing. gives total of 81. 200. 90 !
But they can all see the result and they
know what to call it.
