Our Drying and Cleaning Plant is
the biggest thing of the kind in this part
of the state. The work done in it will al-

CLEANING and PRESSING
cause people go to town ofteuer,
the tourist who is out seeing the
! country, in fact everyone who
uses a public highway in any
manner. And yet there is one
j fly in the ointment, and he is 3
■ big one, a bad one and a danger
Ous one. That fly is the speed
! maniac who is unable to control
! his empty brain, the man who
| wants the whole road while others
! get off into the ditch—or worse.
Swat the fly and all will be well.
Now that we have quite a deal
of property near the railroad it
would be nothing but right for
the city to run a small water main
to that section. We have the
compress, the railroad property,
including two depots, the ice
plant, the oil tanks, the warehouse
and the cotton yard that need
protection. We realize that the
city is up against it financially,
but the chances are that a lot of
piping could be purchased from
some of the oil fields at at least
half price which would answer
the purpose as good as new pip-
ing. The main now extends to
[the North side of the canyon, and
i’ would not take a great deal of
piping to extend to that neighbor-
hood. These institutions add
quite a little to the payroll of
Paducah, as well as the conveni-
ence. They are in the city limit,
and, if possible, should have thd
protection against fire the same
as other institutions.
Conservative white business and
professional men say the Limit has
been reached and that the better
white element in both the old pie-
ties are about ready to agree up-
on men who will go to the State
Legilsature and vote a jim-crow
law. The way to convert some
of the Northerners is just to fill
their communities with negroes
and they will soon realize that the
best thing is to keep the negro in
his place. In the South the ne-
gro is essential but they know
their place and endeavor to keep
it. The Southern man is the ne-
gro’s best friend and the colored
folks are learning that, onee they
go North.—Childress Index.

ASSOClAnON
When the automobile first
[has swept the country from one
jend to the other. Ask the hun-
jdreds of thousands of farmers
why they own their own cars.
Editor-Owner j jjjgy wm tell y0U that the horse
and buggy is too slow—that they
lose too much time. And it is so
in every other sphere of life. Be-
fore the advent of the automobile
our country roads were a disgrace
to the nation. Tocfay they are a
thousand per cent better, and ad-
ditional improvements are con-
stantly being added. The auto-
mobile has done it, and the au-
tomobile and truck will continue
I to be the power behind road im-
came into use it was a vehicle of | proveraent until we reach the-pin-
pleasure for the rich. Now it is
one of necessity, in universal use,
and saving time that is worth
many times its value. It is a
commercialized vehicle of trans-
portation, and is the direct cause
of a wave of road building that
nacle of perfection in this line.
Everybody profits from the au-
tomobile and the good roads it
brings—the farmer hauling his
crops to market, children going
to the community school, the mer-
chant who sells more goods be-
Recently a man who heard the
Paducah band play in a neighbor
ing town stated that it was the
best advertisement Paducah could
possibly have. He complimented
this organization in a most flat-
tering manner. It seemed that
he did not know much about Pa-
ducah, but the band made an im
pression on him that was evident
lv favorable. 'While the old band
now only has fifteen members,
but within another year we will
have something near fifty “old
faithfuls” which will, indeed, be
a great compliment and asset to
the city.

At this time a test is being
made of the water on Tongue
River to determine whether there
is plenty there for the city’s
use. There is no doubt about it
being good, for it has been known
far and near as good water since
the days of the early settling, and
;n addition has been passed on
by a State chemist. Most of the
towns around us are having quite
<"• bit of trouble where they have
built reservoirs and use tank
water. That is all right where
fresh water can not be secured,
but if we have plenty of water on
[Tongue River-it would be the
greatest thing we could do to get
this fresh water. The expense is
going to be great, hut we will
have to “back our ears” and
[stand up to ^ir if we want to
build a real town. It will cost
[more to get it into the city than
the water now costs, hut the
thought of having pure, fresh
water ought to he enough to
j knock the thought of_ expenses
(into a cocked hat.
| The negro problem is getting to
ibe a serious one in Saint Louis,
|So state the citizens who are not
interested in the vote the negroes
deliver to the Republican party.
It is said that after the riots ip
Last St. Louis last year that more
than 6,000 negroes crossed oveT
[irom Illinois to the Missouri me-
tropolis, and this influx of col-
ored citizens has made conditions
.' ery bad in Saint Louis. The Dli-
■ nois city does not permit the ne-
jgroes to attend school with white
children, neither are the negroes
given the freedom in attending
public meetings or visiting pub-
lic parks. As a result East Saint
Louis is building rapidly and of
a higher class of white citizens.
Saint Louis permits negroes to
ride in street cars with no sepa-
It seems now that the New
York Democrats are going to
spring a new “platform” for the
Democratic party in the next
presidential election. They are
.going to put the whiskey ques-
tion back in it and come in as
“wets.” President Harding has
oenounced the “wet” side of the
question in no unmistakable
lerais and the Republican party
will stand for full enforcement
of the Volstead law. New York
Democrats may think they can
win with such an outlawed plank
in the platform, but they are go-
ing to be wiser people when the
election is over if they should
try to pull this stunt. True and
tried Democrats by the thousands
and thousands throughout the en-
tire Union, and especially in the
Southland, will not support such
a measure, but for the time will
see that a man who stands for the
right is put in the president’s
chair. If this is made the issue
which it seems that it is going to
be—there will be no old party
lines as of old, hut it will sum it-
self down to the prohibition ques-
tion. Republicans who want
their booze will vote with the
Democrats, while the old line of
life-long Democrats who are op-
posed to having the open saloon
again will certainly vote the Re-
publican ticket, if the Republi-
cans stand pat for prohibition as
they are now doing. There is
not enough difference in the prin-
cipals of the two parties for peo-
ple to hesitate which one to vote
with when such a tremendous
moral issue is involved.
We are not in the business of
making presidents, but we sug-
gest that Henry Ford tour the
country in one of his Lizzies when
he opens his active campaign for
the presidency. Bob Taylor due
up his old fiddle and fiddled his
way into the governorship of
Tennessee, and made himself fa
mous by his feat. Henry’s Lizzie
might do qs much for him as
Bob’s fiddle did for the Tennes-
seean. Stranger things have hap-
pened. x

Upon whose bosom snow has lain;
Who ultimately lives with rain.
Poems are made by fools like me.
But only God can make a tree.
—Joyce Kilmer.
People who think the United
States should take no part what-
ever in world affairs should build
a Chinese wall around themselves
and forget to cut a door.
A hopeful sign comes from
across the Atlantic. England has
just paid into the United States
treasury the sum of $69,000,000.
a first semi-annual payment of in-
terest on the billions borrowed
from us during the war. France
at the same time paid $135,000
in interest money into our treas-
ury. We expected it from Eng-
land, but there has been grave
doubt in this country as to wheth
er France would ever pay. Na-
tions of honor always pay their
debts—and we are glad to see
France headed that way. It will
create a better feeling over here.
A TREE
Nothing helps the appearance
of a town quite so much as
trees. The following little verse
ought to be an inspiration to
plant more trees and take bet-
ter care of the ones we have:
I think that I shall never see
A poem lovely as a tree.
A tree whose hungry month is
prest
Against the earth’s swe^t flowing
breast;
A tree that looks at God all day,
children attend the same school. A nest of robins in her hair;
