Students Think Likewise,

Sir William Ramsay, the eminent
British chemist now in this country,
does not believe in examinations as a
test of the work of students In col.

competitive scholarships and fellow.
ships are evil influences, in most cases,
because they tend to make students
strive for parrot-like ability to repea,
what has been taught them. instead of
aiming at really creative and valuable

IL the city of Paduoah would take
the trouble through some Of its scrup-
ulous officials, it might easily learn
whether or not there is'any use or
sense in delaying the public improve
ment bond issue by any friendly
suits" Suits instituted by the pres
ent administration are usually loaded.
The court of appeals. according to
able lawyers, has already in similar
cases, passed on every question in
volved in the new bond issue, or which
could possibly be brought into it,
hence there is no necessity for getting
it to pass on them again, and all the
time and money spent in such an
effort now will be wasted. What Pa
ducah needs in its legislative boards
is little more common sense ana q
little less eek parte litigation"

AGAINST CIGARETTES
s. T. EGAN, OF THE l. @. WILL
NOT PERMIT THEM SMOKED.

Mr.. A. II. Egan, superintendent Of
the Louisville division of the l. O.,
does not like cigarettes, and will not
tolerate cigarette smoking about him
If it can be helped.
Several days ago when Superintend.
emit Egan was making his rounds of
the local department offices, he went
into the general yard offices and could
hardly get his breath for the olouded
atmosphere. He looked about and
finally sighted several youngsters
putting away diligently at cigarettes.
When they saw the big superintend.
ent looking at them they made haste
to get the offensive pests out Of sight,
some stuffing them in their pockets
and others dropping them to the floor
to be crushed under their foot.
Mr.. Egsn quietly walked over to a
desk and wrote out . bulletin which
he ordered posted. The bulletin pro.
vided for . compulsory resignation to
cigarette smokers who would not quit
and hereafter there will be no more
cigarette smoking in the yard office.

EVITT'S
VICTORY
City Jailer Wins i'm the Lower
Court.
Judge Reed Decides Council Had No
Right to Fix the Salary Below
Statute Minimum.
CITY Is PARTLY VICTORIOUS,

Judge william Reed this morning
rendered an opinion in circuit court
in the case of City Jai!er T. ]. Evitts.
petitioner exparte, in which the off.
cial wins a partial victory.
The suit was brought by City Jailer
Evitts to test the validity Of an ordi.
nance by the council in October 1908
which defined the duties of the city
jailer and stipulated the salary of this
officer.
1t fixed his salary at about 81, 300 a
year although the city charter, passed
by the legislature and . state law,
states that the minimum shall be
81, 500 = year.
The boards in addition require Jsiler
Evitts to act a. janitor Of the city
hall building After the lAtter's cleo
ton for four years last November he
decided to bring a test case to settle
the question and decide which il the
larger, the general council OF Paducah
or the state Legislature.
Judge Reed in his opinion stated
that the portion Of the ordinance pre-.
scribing the duties and fixing the bond
Of the jailer of the city Of Paducah,
was valid and legal ordinance which
did not in any way conflict with the
statutes of the state, the constitution,
or any rule of law.
That portion of the ordinance which
fixes the salary Of the city iailer be-
low the minimum fixed by statute,
however, is adjudged illegal because
it conflicts with an act of the legisla.
ture passed in March 1902, and made
. law in June 1902.
For this reason this portion OF the
ordinance is aojudged void and of no
force OF effect whatever.
Each party of the suit shall pay his
part of the costs aud that portion of
the ordnance which goes against the
plaintiff is appealed and that part
which goes against the city also ap-
pealed to the court of appeals of the
state which passes final judgment.
The opinion is virtually IA victory for
Jailer Evitts as all he was fighting for
was the salary. He ran for the Office
and was elected twice in successive
years and then the council placed his
salary below the minimum set by the
legislature and Mr.. Evitts resorted to
the law.
The case was argued for the plain
tiff by Attorney J. Campbell Flournoy
and City Solicitor f. II. Puryear act.
ed for the defense. The case was
argued yesterday but the court re-
served his decision until today.

could be any worse than the gravel
that has been used in Paducah.

There is no evidence tnat he was in
sympathy with slavery as an institu-
tion. although he had been brought
up among slaves, owned some and had
always lived in d slave state. he
probability is that he looked upon
slavery as an evil and that it ought
to be abolished as soon as possible, as
ali the early statesmen did. The iiea
of extending the peculiar institution
by such statesmen as Washington and
Jefferson could not be thought OF!
Nor did anybody in the south think of
extending the institution until after
1898, when Whitneys cotton gin was
invented, which made slave labor
very profitable.
But to return from the depression.
We not only need Inheritance taxes
and income taxes for the support OF
government and internal improve
ments, but for the purpose of putting
an end to an oligarchy Of wealth--a
government not as good or safe for
the common people as an aristOcracy.
These Oligarchs are ignorant of ev-
erything, except how to pile up money
and become millionaires and multi
millionaires II they were intelligent
men-humane men-if they were de-
scendants of noble ancestors and
might be said to be nobility" we
might endure their rule. But our
form of government cannot exist very
long, if men, in lifetime, are allowed
to pile up hundred million OF dol
lars and then transmit it to their
heirs without a tax either upon The
| income during their lives or upon the
transmission after their DEATH say,
that ii this can be done, we are, at
least, making monopoies and trusts
very rapidly; and that, if we do not
! put an end to this very soon, there
will be an end to democracy-yes,
and republicanism. 1t is fact which
no lawyer can dispute, that the tax
| ing power can be used to break llp ey-
cry monopoly Tor special privilege)
for the few. Why, then, are we not
| giving our attention to this matter?
| Ii the north does not right the great
wrong, the new south Will They have
not many rich men there, compared
with our rich men. Besides, the south
is becoming owned very rapidly by
the north Therefore the south is the
field to commence the battle for hu-
man liberty Those who fought in
1861-65 for what they thought was
right, now have an opportunity to
fight for what they know is right. It
need not be a bloody battle; only
war of words, of argument; an appeal
to the sense OF justice existing in tie
nation.
The great and fundamental issue of
the time is taxation. This, in connec-
tion with money as incidental, Will
solve the whole problem. We shall
have to, however, look to the new
south and the great west to com-
mence the battle. The east is joined
to its idols, We cannot rise from our
slumber until we have been awake
ened by outside influences.

taken your position behind the foul line and are facing the pins for your aim, you raise the pail and let its weight rest in your left hand.
 Throw your first ball down the centre of the alley, having started in the centre. The first lessons must teach you start ing, not speed nor curves. Learn to throw a perfectly straight ball into Is after getting a bead on these pins. Master this while you are still throwing from an erect position. The stooping posi- ton will come later if 1t proves easier for you.
 Bowling is comparatively new sport for women. but for men 1t is hundreds of years old. Queen Anne used to have a great admiration for the sport, and no fashionable gentleman during her reign would have thought of building country seat that did not possess bowling green. The Queen probably would have tainted at the thought of ladies in sweaters de- livering heavy balls and talking about a "double-header." a turkey" railroad" or poodle"
 The bowling green was sought after dinner by the Dutch and British of old days. They ate heavily, gorging on beef. pudding and ale and they consider ed this after-dinner exercise an aid to digestion. Modern science teaches that no violent exercise Is good immediately after eating. Digestion Is enough for the body to attend to for half an hour after the meal and the heartiest meal of the day should come when there can be the longest rest following 1t. This rule, by the way, defends the modern late din ner which has been much abused. Your

ble; the skirt must be short. A gym nasium shoe, with the sole made to prevent slipping, Is used. There Is be- sides a special bowling shoe made of leather, with a horse-hide sole and a rubber tip fastened on the sole across the ball of the foot, to prevent slip ping. There can be no true bowling in long skirts and tight corsets
 If you are not convinced of the physical benefit of bowling, watch a few games and see what they do for the players body. Watch the powerful swing that he gives the ball at deliv cry. This cannot fall to develop every muscle from wrist to shoulder. Watch the little run taken to give speed; here is where the legs profit. Again they are benefited when they bend for the roll ing of the ball. Watch the trunk itself twist and bend during the whole play; its muscles come in for their share of the good. Digestion and breathing are aided, hips and waist and chest are brought into shape.
 A mans rule is that a small man can bowl just as we'll as a large one; {; the same holds true of a woman. So , there is nothing to prevent your talk ing up the game if you are in fairly good health. Choose the proper ball and play only short time each day. The game is especially recommended for nervousness and melancholia. as it calls for absolute concentration.
 While you are playing you cannot think of anything but the ball and pins; you cannot even talk; you are obliged to forget griefs and worries. The brain is refreshed by It's rest from
