IS THERE VIRTUE IN 1T?

Chivalry and commonsense went
down to defeat in the general assem-
bly, yesterday. following honor into
the pit OF legislative infamg. We
had hoped that the commercial in
stinct so apparent in the vote traffick-
ing at Frankfort, would, at least, be
coupled with common sense; but II
Is not 30. Now, we begin TO suspect
there was truth in Senator Watkins
charge that four senator's could be
bought for $40 900. We had thought
better of them. While hogs and hens
eggs have been going up-nag even
tobacco--the value of a Kentucky
state senator seems to feel none of
the impetus of high living. 1t can
be accounted for only in one way:
overproduction Of the kind on the
market.
But, to return to our charge:
When 1t became apparent that the
expense OF the new state capitol was
creating deficit in the public funds,
there was the alternative, either TO
issue bonds at four per cent, or 10
raise more revenue. The bonds would
have the advantage of extending the
period of payments. and providing
for their retirement by sinking
fund.
State Treasurer Ed Farley favored
the bond issue. Governor Wilson pro-
posed increased revenue. The house
thinks otherwise. II prefers kiting
the states warrants about at six pei
cent interest. Unless the revenue is
Increased, there is no possibility OF
retiring those warrants sooner than
bonds could be retired, and they will
bear two per cent interest more, be-
sides rejecting on the states credit.
That is why We say commonsense is
lacking in the legislature.
Chivalry failed when the house sus-
tanned the committee report against
the bill, giving women the right to
vote at school elections.
. IL there is any virtue in this legis-
latune. will some one please come to
ts defense?

Some Stories Around the Town.

Two Paducah ladies, church mem-
bers by the way, probably will exer-
else more caution in learning Just
who's who before they attempt to
borrow a deck Of cards. So the story
goes the ladies are members of u
downtown church, and recently were
returning from visit in Louisville.
The journey seemed unusually tire
some and monotonous. All of the
subjects that women usually gossip
about had been disposed of at least
two hours before Paducah was
reached.
"Ah, have it," said one of the
ladies'. "let's just have a little game
of cards. 1t Will pass the time away,
and besides l have several new
tricks to show you"
The second lady consented, but
then the trouble was discovered
Neither had a deck of cards. They
were not TO be outdone, however.
Seated near them was a young man,
one who had pleasant face, and
looked easy to approach.
"I'll venture he is a travelling
man." said the first lady. "and you
know a drummer never fails to have
a deck Of cards. Believe IN ask him.
he looks so obliging."
Soon she stepped across the aisle
and made the request. telling about
how tiresome the trip was and ev-
erything.

portunity to speak, he said: I'm

FLIRTING

One, accustomed to the world, as
newspaper man necessarily be-
comes, welcomes every sign of hu-
man innocence OF those perniciou s
traits, we some times almost believe
are uniyersal. Especially are we
pleased when that purity of conscious
ness appears in the words and con-
duct of one, who occupies In any de-
gree a priestly relation to mankind; (;
1t lifts our hopes above the mere
sordid possibility of cold culture
and the rigid hypocrisy of an ethical
doctrine. Original innocence has
lost none of its bloom, you will ad-

He that winketh with his eve

minister from King Solomon and
thereupon constructs an excellent
discourse upon the evils of flirting.
We have no word of dissent from
the abstract denunciation of the
flirting habit; but we do disagree
with the appropriateness of the text.

The Louisville Herald has a good
story told by George DuRelle. who
visits Paducah every session of the
federal court. Mr.. Du Relle is a splen
did story teller, and his Paducah
friends gather around him to hear
the latest yarn. The story is:
George Du Relle, United States
district attorney, has a good story
about two famous criminal lawyers

dead.

thing like this:

1t may be that one of your own boys

ney, put much feeling into the
story and almost had the jury crying.

THE HOSPITAL INVESTIGATION

THE HOSPITAL INVESTIGATION.
The committee OF the general
council. investigating expenses of
Riverside hospital, We fear, stirred
up a lot of dust and accomplished
little OF lasting benefit to the COM
munity. II was a tactical blunder
not to invite the newspapers to ac-
company the committee on the in
spection. They are the eyes Of the
public, and whenever the public, or
its eyes. the newspapers, are barred
from an investigation by public Off
cials, the public Is thereby informed
that IL is not to be let into the Sc
crets of the investigation, but must
rely upon what those who desired
them kept out. are pleased to tell.
Riverside hospital is one Of the
best managed institutions in the
country. The newspapers stated this
before the committee began its in
vestigation; but il will be difficult
even for the newspapers now to con
vince doubters that everything is al
right, for the good reason, everyone
may say, that the newspapers dom
know anything about 1t, excepting
what they have been told.
The conduct of the hospital never.
theless, is all right, and the manage
ment Is as economical as can be;
but we believe that committee was
appointed for the purpose OF propos-
ing councilmanic action, whereby the
hospital management may be enabled
to adopt further economies, and, II
the committee rests upon its laurels
OF having made the remarkable dis
covery that the management is
honest, fact Of which everyone else
was already aware, 1t will have ac-
complished nothing except kick up
some dust of innuendo about vague
unfounded allegations, and prevent
the newspapers from witnessing what
sort OF investigation II made.

the westward. If the statement tha'
the Democrats favor extending the
limits to secure an increased worth,
population" according TO its stand
ards, is not notice to the partisans In
the general council to eliminate every
district that will not increase the
Democratic vote, we fail to catch the
Significance of ii.
The purpose of extending the city
limits is to take in such districts as
have become so densely populated
that, without fire and police protec-
ton, city water and sanitary convent
|ences, they form a menace to the
health and safety of their inhabitants
and the city, That their numbers
add to the voting population and their
property to the wealth of the city is
merely incidental. It seems to us
that, regardless of party the mem
bers OF the general council could
have agreed on this. 1t is not fair
or wise to extend the line straight
out from the corners of the town TO
the limit of the farthest suburb; but
the boundary should be extended
around these populous settlements,
farm property even
though the corporation line is made
to project unevnly in several direc-
lions.
OF course, since the morning paper
has injected partisan spirit into the
natter, both sides may now be ex-
,ected to be alive to the possibilities.
md each will suspect the motives of
he other. We are sorry it is so; but
