BUILD UP THE SCHOOLS.

The next legislature will be asked
to pass number of bills bearing OF
our public school system. Among
them will be one establishing two Of
three state normal schools for the
improvement of public school teach
ers. Another will probably be bill
to enable cities of the second clas:
to obtain a so cent school levy wher
1t is necessary. Both these bills are
worthy of earnest consideration.
The school system should not he
neglected, especially in Kentucky
Public schools are our most import
ant institution for largely on them
depends the future of our citizenship
President Roosevelt, in an infor-
NAL address at the White House to a
delegation of educators of Washing
ton. said:
"The public school is not merely
the educational center for the mass
of our people, but is the factory OF
American citizenship. Incidentally to
its work the public school does more
than any other institution of any
kind, sort or description to Ameri-
canize the child of foreign-born par.
ents who comes here when young, OF
Is born here. Nothing else counts for
as much in welding together in one
compact mass of citizenship the diff
ferent race stocks which here are be-
ing fused into a new nationality"
1T hs been my good fortune" con-
tinued Mr.. Roosevelt, that all my
children have received or are re-
ceiving a portion of their education
in the public schools of this district
in this city, and feel that the advan'
tage to them is incalculable.
IL certainly do not underrate the
importance of the higher education
1t would be the greatest misfortune
If we ever permitted such a warped
and twisted view of democracy to
obtain as would be implied in the de
NAL of the advantage that comes to
the whole nation from the high edu
cation of the few who are able to taks
advantage OF the opportunity to OBJ
tain 1t. But while fully admitting
this 1t remains true that most i'm
portant of all is the education OF the
common school,"
"Give us not only better, but the
best. public schools" should be the
demand from every part Of the state
Kentucky's next legislature should
give the question Of education Us
most profound attention.

THE BIG RUSH NOW
COMING TO FINISH
Today the Business Has Been
Enormous, Despite Weather.
The PostofIicc and Express Compa.
MES Report "a Large Increase
RETAILERS ARE ALSO HAPPY

The Christmas rush is now in full
swing, but drawing to close and
today, despite the inclement weather
there has been a big business in both
wholesale and retail trades.
The postoffice rush has begun, and
the employees all have as much as
they can look after. The bulk Of the
business seems to have come later
than expected. For several days there
was little over the normal volume OF
matter, but beginning yesterday the
amount has been enormous.
Supt. of Carriers Fred r. Ashton,
requests all who possibly can to cail
for their mail Sunday, in order that
the accumulation may be disposed
of then. Otherwise 1t will pile up il
the Office until there will scarcely be
room to handle the regular mails.
Monday will be national holiday
and unless patrons call at the Office
The carriers wili>have more than they
can handle Tuesday.
The express companies are having
all they can handle. and the business
is still pouring in. Business this
year is larger than ever before.
The rain today was very disap-
pointing to many. as they hoped for
clear day and for many people to
come in from, the country.
Tobacco has been moving rapidly
for the past few days and several
hundred loads have been brought to
the city and exchanged for Christ
mas money.
1t is remarkable that so many peo-
pie have today tramped through the
rain and mud to buy holiday gifts.
However, only one more day remains,
Saturday. to buy presents and there
will be such jam in the stores to
morrow and the Christmas presents
are being so rapidly picked over that
people are going out in the rain to
buy in nearly as big crowds as II
the day were bright.
A noticeable feature is the large
number of country people in the city
the past few days. Some of them
have come miles to buy Christmas
goods, Notwithstanding the wet
weather. Freezing weather would
be more desirable than the present
quality. They are buying heavily
for the farmers for the past two
years have had big crops and conse-
quently have plenty of money. TIL.
country store keepers have bought
heavily from the Paducah wholesale
houses, too, and they are reported to
be doing a fine business.
Taking every branch of business
into consideration there has been p
tremendous trade, probably the bis.
gest in the city's history.
For the convenience of the public
Street Inspector Elliott this morning

a majority of them. II not all of them
will grow and increase in value In
the meantime, and when the five
years expire the city will appreciate
the addition of their taxes to the an
nual revenue. But for the five years
exemption Louisville might have
been unable to land the greater part
of these factories, and would be no
better off now, and no better off in
five years, than If she did not have
them. Results show that the exemp-
ton statute is good one for the
state and the cities of the state.

Louisville considers the five-year
exemption of factories from taxation
as an inducement to their location
an excellent provision for building
up a city. During last year thirty
five new factories were established
there, representing an immense val
uation. The city will. OF course. be
deprived OF any tax revenue from
these new factories for Ave years, but
