LABELSATURDAY LOUISVILLE KY SATURDAY OCTOBER 15 1904 SEWER QUESTION NOT POLITICAL The decision of the Board of Trade and Commercial Club to dls cuss the proposed bond issue for sewer purposes is right and proper This question will be submitted to the people of Louisville on November St Are you in favor of a bond issue of 3500000 for the construction of sewers and the recon structstructiOn struction of streets Publicity does not hurt any fair proposition andthe people are entitled to know all about the bond iue before they vote for or against the measure The Mayor City Engineer and Board of Public Works met this week with the commercial bodies to discuss the subject Further conferences will be held later There is a large section of Louis yule without any drainage and a still larger section without adequate sewers the present ones being too carryc off the water It is folly to talk of building sewers out of the tax levy which is made annually It would be unfair to make this generation pay for sewers for the benefit of future generations A bond issue seems to be the only solution of the difficulty Louis vill can never be a clean city or a healthful city without adequate A sewers to carry off the sewage ass well as the storm water New Orleans spent 17000000 for new sewers and Memphis over 7000 000 in the past few years Since sewers were constructed in these cities the death rate has decreased fully per cent and many manufactories have been established There are those who oppose the bond issue because they do not believe in increasing the citys debt Louisville has less bonded debt than any city of its size in the country and this objection is not well taken There are others who fear that the money will be wasted We believe in the integrity of Mayor Grainger Chief Engineer Breed and the Board of Works but these officials will not have the spending of all the money It will take two or three years to construct the proposed sewers and the contracts will be let publicly to the lowest and best bidders There is no evidence that there will be any graft connected with the scheme The Kentucky Irish American has long favored the construction of more sewers in justice to the small taxpayers in the outlying districts If sewers are not built now by a bond issue the law may be changed by the Legislature and the abut ting property owners will have to pay for sewers like they pay for original street construction and the small taxpayer could not stand this tax FOR UNIVERSAL PEACE The International Peace Congress which was in session in Boston for I ten days has adjourned after issuing a strong appeal in a few words to all the nations of the earth for universal I peace That a few crowned I heads and a lot of unscrupulous I politicians in this enlightened age can bring about war at their sweet I will and force their subjects into armies to be slaughtered like dogs I is a sad commentary on the intelli gence of the masses As the appeal I yl all classes ought to arouse i I themselves as to a proper conception I of their rights in order that they may no longer be involved I I without their consent in foolish and 1 ruinous wars 1 Tbc appeal issued by the Peace Coegrese is so concise and sensible hat jt is published below la full I I The congress at the conclusion 1 of Its deliberations appeals to the peoples of all nations and of all 1 classes to arouse themselves to a finer and more adequate conception of their rights in the determination of the foreign policies pursued by their Governments that they may no longer be involved without their consent in foolish and ruinous wars with other Powers or in the unjust exploitation of those whom they are bound by every consideration of righteousness and honor to assist and elevate rather than to plunder and degrade It respectfully in vites all the national sovereigns and 1 Presidents all ministers of religion i all instructors of youth in schools of every grade and all others who wield influence in the molding and directing of public opinion to throw the entire weight not only of their personal influence but of their positions toward eradicating the causes of misunderstanding and con i flirt and the creation of such a complete i system of international adJudication and such a wide reaching pacific public sentiment as will in i time render the barbarous methods of war impossible impossibleA A QUIET CAMPAIGN The national and State election is i but a month distant and the prediction that this would be a quiet campaign is being realized There is no excitement or interest compared with the campaign of 1896 i and 1900 when the money question was an issue After all it is i well that there is little excitement The less mens minds are influenced I by the accompaniments of a campaign the more likely they are to vote intelligently When the millions of American voters exercise seg their sober judgment at the polls the result will not be far wrong Here in Louisville and in Kentucky there is little need for excitement or a hurrah campaign as it is i evident that the party in power will 1 I win by a large majority The Republican party is discouraged in this I StateIn In the close States Democrats are claiming an augury of success in i the fact that the campaign is being 8g waged quietly They say it means a heavy vest pocket vote and adrift I from the administration They argue that the Republicans only win in hurrah campaigns The campaign thus far has been I conducted with dignity and freedom I from bitter personal attacks on the candidates the absence of mudslinging and other tricks to deceive the voters votersDuring During the remaining thirty days the campaign is likely to liven up particularly in Indiana and NewC York In Indiana both parties are making a desperate struggle Will I iam Jennings Bryan is the attraction in the Hoosier State just now Hel began his campaign on Wednesday at Indianapolis and was given a great ovation He will be in New Albany on the evening of the 2othE and will leave Louisville on the evening of that day for West Virginia returning to Indiana on tbt 24th or 25th Mr Bryan will spend tomorrow at French Lick Springs where he will confer with National 9 Chairman Thomas Taggart Bourke Cockran will speak at Indianapolis on the night of November 51 and arrangements are being made to give him an ovation at the close of the Indiana campaign on i that night I What will they do aext in nonI Catholic pulpits to attract crowds A dispatch from Topeka Kas says T1Ia Key Charles MSbd 1 f1 1 don author fIn His Steps will I read a series of short stories to his congregation this fall and winter It has been his custom to begin reading an original aerial story in the fall and close it before the end of the year He believes the short story will be more popular Parson Sheldon do no great harm in reading a novel to his congrega lion It Is better than talking politics or abusing the Pope Flirting can be carried on in church to good advantage says Rev Williams Chairman of the Com mittee on Sabbath Observance of 1tbe Rock river conference of the I Methodist Episcopal church Good codd 1Lord said the woodchuck and ilaway he flew What next The Democratic party in Ken tucky has officially repudiated the course of Lieut Gov William Thorne in pardoning the murderers Buchter All the speaking engage ments of Thorne have been can celled The party owes the people more than that however There should be an official investigation I made of what influences were brought to bear to induce the Act ing Governor to grant the pardon If the Acting Governor was de ceived by lawyers or the relatives I of the murderer it should be made public If money was corruptly used the facts should be laid bare GoV Beckham owes it to the peer pie to have this case thoroughly in vestigated and all the facts relating to the pardon brought out let i it hurt whom it may A special dispatch from Jackson Ky says that Mr Moses Feltner when arrested at that place on Sun day last had five pistols on his person He was released on bond by Judge James Hargis but nothing was done toward prosecuting him for carrying concealed deadly weap one It is no wonder that bloodshed is so common in Kentucky when men are allowed to roam around with arsenals on their persons In Louisville pistol carrying is common but few men have asS I i many as five guns in their pockets at one time The Democrats of Louisville and Jefferson county owe it to Judge ODoherty to elect him by a large anse man on the bench in this county or State The Judge is receiving the hearty support of the party organ ization but his personal friends should not relax their efforts in bis behalf until the close of the polls on November 8 Louisville and Jefferson county needs more Judges like Matt ODoherty ECONOMY AT VATICAN Pope Plus Abandons Escort and Other Expenses to Save Money A cablegram from Rome to the New York Sun says The Pope is instituting economies at the Vatican He has aban done his escort of honor during his walks has ordered the horses of the Noble Guard to be sold and has directed that the collection of birds in the gardens be maintained no longer His predecessor possessed various kinds of pheasants and oatriches of many rare species Pope Plus thought that it was too costly to support these luxuries and ordered them distributed to various institutions He thought also that the ex pease of keeping up the gardens was too heavy and some parts which are now devoted to flowers will be turned into meadow lands
