The quick relief afforded Western
storm sufferers shows how ready the
American people are to rush to the,as-
sistance of those in distress. II seems
to be one of the principal characters
tics of Americans to push and crowd
each other in their struggle for SUI
premacy, but when disaster overtakes
humanity meme is quicker'to respond
to the cry of distress, whether it be Of

earthquake or left friendess and

cans. Our msroenary spirit is only
superficial and easily rubbed Off.
Sometimes, it seems, many people push
and crowd to make . dollar simply
that it may be spent to help others.

THE CONDITION
OF OUR SCHOOLS.

The board of education, as will b
seen from the report of its meeting
last night, voted to stand pat. 4
offered no excuse for the action Of dis
missing some of the teachers which
has occasioned so much comment and
hard feeling, other than it believed II
would be best for the schools The
board has only exercfzed . privilege or
power that is vested in it as the gov
erning authority of the schools, ana
this will probably end the controversy
so far as the teachers are concerned.
Without going into details over the
causes that lead to the boards action
in holding meetings that were little
short Of star chamber sessions and then
concealing its action from the public
and those most directly interested in
it. however, and without discussing
the unfairness that may or may not
have been exhibited toward tbe teaoh.
ers,the PUBLIC schools are said BY many
Of the teachers to now be in the most
demoralized condition ever known.
and If this is true, something will
have to be done to restore peace and
harmony. We hope the condition is not
as bad as reported. 1t wss stated
months ago that harmony did not ex-
list, and denial was entered This
lack of harmony is said to be primarily
and. principally responsible for the con-
dition in which we find our schools to-
day. If the board of education think
the best way to eliminate discord and
reconcile opposing forces is to dis
charge some Of the best teachers, as
they indicate by their action last night.
IL is their own business and the peo-
pies only redress, il redress be due
the people. must be sought at the
polls when the next board Is elected.
The worst feature Of the muddle is
that the board selected such a repre-
hensible manner Of doing its work.
Had everything been done in an open
and Straightforward manner, while
there might have been i'll feeling,
charges and counter charges. there
would probably not have been the con.
fusion in the schools that the secret
meetings developed. The law specifies
time for the choosing of teachers
and no doubt intends that the board
shall choose them then. This time is
June, and had changes been made
then, probably little or nothing would
have been said. But they were not,
and the experience should be lesson
to the board to get out in the open
hereafter and choose teachers at the
proper time. 1t is censured for this
method Of making the changes, no
matter what the cause or justification
may have been. The duty of the bcard
Is to give the people the best schools
possible with the resources ct its com :,
mand. When it is necessary to secure
harmony or batter results rs the pro-
priety suggests itself to them, they
should remove the disturbing factors
in a manner least injurious to the pub
lie school system, and not in manner
to disturb the schools from center to
circumference, as they seem to be
now.

control the Democratic machinery in
the five cities of Louisville, Paducsh,
Lexington, Newport and Covingtop. is
the Democratic party in Kentucky.
He says:
Somebody said something about
local rule in louisville. KY. the other
day, and il was a Goebel man at that.
He said that local rule had always
been Democratic cardinal. He might
have qualified that and said Nearly
always Il was not a Democratic car
dinal in 1899, in Kentucky.you can
bet your socks, but, on the contrary,
quite the reverse. Given boss with
clear head, a heavy hand, grasping
ambition and control Of the PARTY or
ganization in the five cities Of Louis
Vile, Covington. Newport, Lexington
and Paducah, and he will be the ruler
of his party in Kentucky. There will
be no such thing % locsl rule. There
may be a sham local rule, but it will
be only the reflection of the will of
the boss.
THAT Is what Kentucky has seen
in the Democratic party for six orsev-
en- years ever since the little luns
got control. Having driven the big |
'uns out of the state, or into retire
ment, it was inevitable that the little
fellows would begin to fight among
themselves. The Democrstic party
of Kentucky has not controlled the
Democratic organization for years, but
has been controlled by it. Thus the
organization became greater than the
party. That accounts for the reduc-
tion of Democratic msjorities in some
elections, and the reversal Of Republic
can majorities in other eleotiona
This should give the Democrats food
Tor reflection. They are now powerless
10 do anything except the bidding of
one man, Allie Young. who is polit-
cai car and tyrant. He is sustained
BY the courts and backed up by the
party organization, and is virtually
he Democratic party itself in Ken
ncky.
: As long as the Democrats work and
ote for the election of the candidates
t these political usurpers they will
york and vote to prolong and perpet- I
ate their own bon dage. There is but
ne way for the Democrats to escape 0
