B. p. w. Abolished.

The abolition of the board of public works by
the city council comes as "A surprise, and while
it must be admitted that it has done much good
work, many taxpayers are of the impression
that it should not have been created; that a
single competent man could have accomplished
what it has taken three men to do. We are not
sufficiently advised to express an opinion in the
premises. All we can say at present is that the
members have done well and added greatly to
the improvement of the city. 1t is understood
that there can be no hitch in the program of
adjustment, since each member was requested
to sign paper placing his resignation in the
hands of the mayor when he was appointed. IT
the council thinks it can save the salaries of
two men and at the same time get satisfactory
results, it is its duty to do so. All of the gentle
men are our personal friends and we dislike to
see them go, but in a matter of this kind the
question of whether the board is absolutely
necessary only should cut any figure. Retrench-
ment and reform seem to be the order of the
day and the Democrats should not let the bogus
reformers beat them to it if they can do so with
out injurng the public service.-Lexington
Herald.

THE LAST ACT.

The fiscal court, which adjourned sine die
Friday, closed its history by inscribng on the
records set of resolutions that constitute the
acme of all that unique organization stood for:
resolutions endorsing the work of former Coun-
ty Road Supervisor Bert Johnson and recon-
mending him for appointment to the office of
state road supervisor, an office that has not yet
been created and never may be. Thus does
McCracken county officially stand pre-eminent
in the forwardness of her political claims. Just
how much influence the recommendation of a
collection of magistrates, who were refused
endorsement at the hands of their constituents
at the last general election, will have on the
state Democratic organization remains to be
seen; especially since the only Democratic mag
istrate to receive the enforcement of Te-elec-
ton may be a candidate himself.
This brings us to the real motive of the reso-
lutons. They were introduced in no hope of
beneftting Bert Johnson; but of iniurng Mag
istrate Emery, who is suspected of entertain
ing ambitions to be the state road supervisor.
Charlie Emery has a host of friends, but they
do not include everybody connected with the
late county administration, and it was shrewdly
calculated that if McCracken county presents
two candidates for the office the chances of each
will be minimzed. 1t is trick as old as the
hills, but it seldom is perpetuated in the Off
cal record of public body.

pear Before the Public.
THE FIGHT HAS JUST BEGUN

New York. Jan. 1l.-wm. l..
Cook. brother of DR.. Frederick A..
Cook. declared that Mrs. Cook had
been joined by her husband, and
that he was in communication with
them. Mrs. Cook is believed to have
the explorers original records of his
north pole quest in her possession.
Or. Cook has by no means aban-
doned his intention to prove con-
clusively, despite the verdict of the
Copenhagen University. that he
reached the north pole" said his
brother, and his detractors will
have a pretty bill to pay.
Divorce Talk Unwarrantcd.
The talk that Mrs. Cook is es-
tranged from the doctor and that
she contemplates a suit for separ-
alton, with large alimony. Is un-
warranted. Mrs. Cook is standing
by her husband, and will continue to
do so until death separates them
Just now she Is OF immeasurable
comfort To him, and together they
are planning and working for the
future
Il have positive Information that
DR.. Cook and his wife will publicly
appear together. and that then there
viii be a great change in feeling IL
may be only a few weeks. and IL
may be months. before they appear
publicly again. That all depends on
how Ions II requires Or. Cook to full
ly substantiate his claims"
Mr.. Cook declined TO say whether
Dr. and Mrs. Cook were In this
country or abroad.

HABITS.

Good habits are the heirlooms of fine fami-
lies; bad habits betray bad blood.
This is no reference to appetltes and passions,
unleashed in incautious moments to prey upon
the senses; but those innumerabe, uncatalogued
and too often unobserved little tricks of con-
duct that assert themselves when one is re
Taxed, comfortably ensconced and wholly off
his guard amid familiar surroundings.
Character is made up of habits accumulated
by ones self and his ancestors For special
occasions, of not too great frequency, limitations
may serve to deceive the unscrutinizing eye, and
superEcialites of manner may be shifted, as
one shifts his clothes, to suit the time of day
and social demands; but the character is there
beneath, unaltered, and habits will lay bare the
secrets OF our geneaogy once we cease our con
scious efforts to appear otherwise than what
we really are.
These habits have a tendency to conform to
type, for habits are but acts persisted in; and
our inclination is to match an hereditary trait
with conscious volltiOn, as one might match a
pearl SO we see generation after generation
|of "a family manifesting the same general char
acterstcs.
Some times habits evince a selfish tendency;
they may betray mere carelessness in regard to
khe rights and feelings of others; they may as
hume the positive type of aggressive self-inter-
st. Then, habits may be the kindest impulses
