APPEALING TO THE COURTS.

The way to rectify existing evils is Of
ten to take them TO the courts. Attorney
Mark Worten has demonstrated this by
fling a mandamus against the local
board Of education and school superin-
tendent 70 compel the admission of one
of his children to the public schools. If
this had been done long ago by someone
with the interests of the schools and
the people at heart, scores of pupils
might have profited by it in years past.
No one cared enough about it, however,
Worten took il up.
The rule of the school keeping pupils
out who were not years old July lst, of
the year they desire To enter school, is
astupid one, and not justified either by
law, which says a pupil may enter il
q years old, nor by necessity, as hun
areds of school children do not 90 to
school on whom the state pays the city
the regular per capita, and whose alb
ssence might inversely be considered that
much gain for the school fund. Ii the
, board OF education deems it necessary to
collect a per capita on every child in
school in order TO pay expenses, it might
for a moment consider the hundreds on
whom the per capita is paid and who do
not attend:
. The possibilities in taking questions
that vex the public mind, or infringe
ON the publie's rights, into the courts
might result in much good if those who
have the means, and pay the most of the
taxes, desired relief that much. If some
one had years ago done what Attorney
Worten did in less than a week, there
L. no telling what a vast benefit il might
have been to the educational interests
OF Paducah.

The Louisville Herald quotes the su-
perintendent of the Louisville schools as
saying of the school books forced ON the
state by a democratic legislature;
They are not nearly so satisfactory
as the books we have been using The
Louisville school board was not consult
ed in the selection of books. We simply
had to take what was given us. You
know another man cannot buy a suit of
clothes to fit you nearly SO well as you
can buy the suit yourself.
For our needs the new books are a

Supt. Leib is lot TO blame for the re-

Open Discussion of the Panama Cues

Washington, Jan. 25.-The senate
has no program for the present week
beyond a continuation of the debate
on the Panama question. The fact
that the German resolution of inquiry
was disposed of last week does not
change the situation except that it
makes necessary new basis for
speeches. This will be supplied in
the resolutions of inquiry introduced
today as the result of Saturdays con-
ference of Democratic senators. A
number of addresses are still to be
and it is quite certain that the debate
will continue for many days. 1t is well

any particular resolution is being dis

ty itself could not be discussed in open
senate, whereas the resolution can be.
The Democrats prefer an open discus
sion of the question and the Republi-
cans as matter of policy and in the
interest Of the expedition of the vote
on the treaty, have not objected.
When it becomes apparent that the
