ION one condition-that a better ticket
be nominated than is presented by
the Democratic party. The people
of Paducah have on more than one
Occasion recently manifested an i'm
patience with unsatisfactory tickets
at the polls, and shown their capacity
to discriminate between the good and
bad on the tickets.
Election figures are often unre-
liable; but we are justified in draw
ling a few conclusions from the re-
cent Democratic city primary, at
which about one-third of the party
participated. 1t is a matter of COM
mon knowledge that there IL opposi-
ton among the voters of his own
party to Police Judge Dave Gross.
Two candidates, representing what is
known as "the better element" OF
citizenship, opposed him at the pri-
mary; but the result was that among
the one-third of his party, who took
part In the primary, Cross received
more than twice as many votes as all
his opponents together.
What is the meaning of that?
Does it mean that Dave Cross is so
overwhelmingly popular in his party.
that the others had no show against
him? II there had been anything
like the party vote at the polls. such
a conclusion would have been newt
able.
But the vote was meager. Then,
perhaps, those who do not want
Gross, declined to participate. One
may ask why they should do that,
and the answer is readily found in
the repeated declarations from the
party organization, that anyone, who
votes at a primary, is bound by the
result to support the ticket at the
fall election. regardless of the fact
that the primary nominated the very
man he went there to defeat. So,
we see, that il the better element of
the citizenship had no confidence in
the fairness of the primary, they
might be inclined to remain aloof.
and see what the November election
should bring forth.

II may be of interest to the general
public to know that without any pos
sible exception The Evening Sun was
the only newspaper published. which
received the news of the death Of a
mother in Galloway county while saw
ing her children from fire, direct from
a representative on the scene, its reg
ular correspondent. All other big
dalies OF the country received their
Information from The Evening Sun.
This information IL given publicity
as an illustration of the efficient or
ganization of news gatherers which
The Evening Sun possesses, as well
as its ability to handle all news that
comes under its scope of vision Also.
since the tragedy happened the even
ing before. after The Sun had gone TO
press, the incident demonstrates the
dependence the reading public must
place on the evening paper for the
news.
The Paducah evening sun. [volume] (Paducah, Ky.) 1906-1929, 1909-07-23

As proof that The Evening Sun
sized up the situation correctly in re-
gard TO the consolidation of the Lone
Oak. Park and Lang schools at Lone
Oak, the report shows that, whereas
only five pupils attended the opening
of the Lang school last year, sixteen
from the Lang district attended the
opening at Lone Oak this year and
twenty were present the second day.
The trouble IL that the Park district
is essentially an urban community
and should be in the city. where It
could properly be provided with
school facilities. Essentially rural dis
tricts will be little bothered with the
consolidation.

MERCHANTS
WILL BE ASKED TO CLOSE
THEIR STORES
Friday, July 30, Day Set for Game

Merchants will be asked TO close

Mrs. l.. NJ. Rieke and DR.. Della Cald-
well will call on the merchants and
request the merchants to close for
two hours in order that everybody
may see the unique game. Mrs. w.
C. Kidd has charge of the sale of the
tickets.
II is reported that the players are
working hard to get into trim, while
regular army of umpires will be
on hand SO that when one is killed
the game will not be delayed.

TRUNK MYSTERY
BODY IN BOARDING HOUSE AT
LYNN, MASS.
Man, in Whose Room IL Was Found,
Has Disappeared From
--D- Home.

Lynn, Mass. July 23.-Another
trunk murder mystery was added to
the criminal annals yesterday by the
finding of the body of Minos X. Mon
ijan in the rom of Vahan Nalbani-
dian in boarding house here. There
was bullet wound and several knife
wounds in the breast.
The body had probably been put
in the trunk Saturday night or early
Sunday morning, for Monijan was
seen Saturday. The motive was not
robbery as the dead mans valuables
we're still in his pockets.
The police believe Nalbanidan,
who disappeared, may be able to
throw light on the mystery.

Fifth-Such inspection, when CON
Quoted in the fair. non-partisan spirit
which should characterize IL and the
publicity resulting therefrom. when
taken together with the requirements
as TO uniform accounting. Will raise
the standards OF integrity and Ell
cieaey of public officers. The voters
are thereby enabled 10 know what Is
best, and will demand what is best
They can thus guage the integrity
and efficiency OF their public servants
and can vote with Intelligence upon
their candidates.
Sixth-Such inspection in conjunc-
ton with uniform accounting. will
increase revenue collections and de-
crease expenditures. and will thus
operate to reduce tax rates.
Propositions Self-Evidcnt.
These propositions are so self-evl-
dent that II Is hardly necessary TO do
more than state them. They are not
based upon the theories OF myself or
OF any other as TO the effect OF lnspcc-
ton; but from what experience has
demonstrated To be. true. .
Inspection and publicity act upon
corruption In public Affairs As sun
and drainage act upon pestilentlai
swamps; aud as fair aud truthful
tracts are soon reduced TO marsh and
jungle for lack OF sun and drainage.
so our public affairs. however well
administered. for lack OF inspection
and publicity. will soon degenerate
into extravaganza and corruption.
Other Benefits Uniform Accounting.
Uniform accounting and universal
inspection mean. Indeed. the turning
on OF the light IN the dark places.
They mean the achievement aud
maintenance OF the highest standards
OF integrity and efficiency Their
proper enforcement will help to keep
officials IN the paths OF rectitude.
Where men may feel tempted 90
go wrong and waste or misappro-
pirate public money. under our pres
ent lack OF system. under uniform
accounting and inspection. they will
be held to such prompt aud rigid ac-
'countablllty that whatever tcmpta-
tion they might otherwise feel. will
never be allowed 10 ripen. Uniform
accounting and inspection constitute
the ounce Of prevention that is better
than the pound OF cure.
The carnlvals OF graft and corrup-
ton which have so often prevailed IN
our American cities would, under the
strict operation OF public accounting
land inspection laws. be largely re-
dueed. II not altogether prevented.
Gives Better Financial Credit.
The fact that a system OF uniform
accounting and inspection prevails.
therefore. gives a higher financial
credit to any county. city OF town,
than I. would ever have in absence
Of such a system. The knowledge
that the accounts of any county. city
or town are properly kept. and 80
kept that its fiscal receipts and ex-
pcnditures can be compared with any
other similar county. city. or town;
and the further knowledge that at
least once a year its accounts aid
ifs al affairs are rigidly inspected,
and the laws relative TO such affairs
faithfully enforced, give to all who
have funds to loan. faith in the in

our present law creating the Office
Of state Inspector and examiner pro-
yider that he shall make eNamina-

Offices OF the state. whether such
officers are state or local. so far as
they may receive or disbursc state
revenues: and he must also examine

hut the present law gives the state
Inspector and examiner no power 10

Depend ON Own Officers.
Hence. the people In the counties
