CHIEF SINGERY.

Henry Singery, after seventeen years of
faithful service to the city as patrolman, was
last night elected chief of police by the board of
police and fire commissioners and Mayor Smith
Patrolman Singery was endorsed for the posi-
ton by ministers of the gospel and representa-
tive business men, who thought such record
deserved a reward and who demand that the
laws be enforced. 1t is up to Chief Singery to
make good. He should have no doubt in his
mind as to what element of society favored his
selection, nor hesitate in choosing his course
to satisfy the administration.
GERS, walking erect in tidy uniforms, conscen-
understanding the laws of the city, free from
malice, graft and politics, is necessary to a
proper return for the money the taxpayers
spend for protection.
We feel sure the new chief may count on the
absolute support of the board of commissioners
and the subordinates of the department may
rest assured that faithful performance of duty
will insure their retention of their positions
and that laXity, sovenliness, too much politics
and graft will cost them their positions The
new chief will be the head of his department;
he will have free rein to carry out the admins
tration's policy, and INSTRUMENTATION will not
be tolerated, while fidelity will be rewarded
Our heartiest cooperation is offered Chief
Sngery. We have every confidence in his
ability and integrity, and we trust that at the
end of Mayor Smith term, two years hence, he
will have put the Paducah police and fire de-
partments on such high plane, that the people
will not tolerate any future deterioration in the
service. 10 mrs

One knows where to place finger on him. They
like loyalty to ones party friends. They never
heard of anything so absurd as loyalty to the
people. They bleat, do these goats, when any
one throws an empty tin can at them over the
alley fence, and esteem the labels delicacies.
1t is hopeless to make them appreciate Just
what is being done by the present city admin
istration in the police and fire departments.
Heretofore, the fact that he registered as a Re
publican would damn in the eyes of the police
and fire commissioners the best men who ever
applied for position on either force The
periodical, which the Paducah billy goats eat
as breakfast food, carefully cassi6es APP
pOintees in these departments as Democrats or
Republicans, and bewals the fact whenever one
of the new men happens to be a Republican.
They fear the day when there will be as many
Republicans as Democrats, yet will be glad if
it is no worse, and cannot understand why the
mayor and the board, which he now controls,
don't discharge every Democrat on the force;
for they are quite sure that if a Democrat sue
ceeds Mayor Smith every Republican will walk
the plank.
That Mayor Smith should appoint without
regard to politics and wholly. in the interest of
efficient service, makes the goats bleat with
derislon whenever it is mentioned; vet they
must have choked a little this morning when
they swallowed their paper. Henry Singery, a
Democratic policeman who has served seven
teen years without black mark, and principal
iy received the worst of it, is appointed chief
of police, at the instance of ministers of the
gospel and representative business men.
Only seven changes are made in the police
force and five in the fire department, and, mira
bile dictu, James Wood chief of the fire depart
ment, who worked against Smith when he was
elected mayor, is actually reapponted chief of
the FIRE department, because he is making a
good chief and when James Wood is dropped
IRON the roster, it will be at his own request
or because the good of the service demands it.
Intelligent citizens can grasp this. The
mas or does not, as the goat paper suggested he
slouid, regard himself as in certain measure
indebted to the Republicans and in another
measure to the Democrats, and divide up the
patronage between the elements of the two
PARTIES, to which he is under obligation for his
election. lie regards himself as under obliga-
ton to the best people of Paducah, who elected
higl mayor, to give them the best police and fire
protection and the best public service possible
for the money they pay in as taxes In that
light and in that light only can the action of the
mayor be nationally interpreted.
This is all taking place in the front yard and
on the street. The mayors policy is not visible
20 the coats They digested only that portion
of their morning paper, which said the chiefs
are Democrats. They will suffer with cramps
from the rest of it.

THE BILLY GOATS.

Enfranchised billy-goats, habituated to and
'mentally fitted for browsing among the dis
carded tin cans in the back yard of more or less
dilapidated political premises, satisfied to know
on what street their party's front yard faces,
but willing to remain in obscurity themselves,
think only in parties in political matters. These
have not learned the distinction between non
partisan and bipartisan, and conceive of polit-
ical fairness as the pro rata division of offices
among the principal parties. A public official
utterly disregarding party lines in his appoint
|ments, smacks OF mugwumpery to them. They
say they like man, who sticks by his party.

creased in violence and bitterness
Just in proportion as the service has
offered effective opposition to preda-
tory wealth. The more successful we
have been in preventing land grab
bling and the absorption OF water
power by the special interests, the
more ingenious, the more devious
and the more dangerous these at
tacks have become. A favorlte one
is to assert that the forest service, On
its zeal for the public welfare, has
played ducks and brakes with the

Another, and unusually plausible,
form OF attack is to demand that all

thrown out OF the national forests.
"Stlll another attack, nearly sue
eessful two years ago, was an at
tempt to preynt the forest service
from telling the people, through the
press, what Il is accomplishing for
them. and how much this nation
needs the forest.
"Since the forest service called
public attention to the rapid absorp-

threatening growth OF great water
