II the first day of vacation. Yester-
day all city schools were dismissed
until Friday Afternoon when the pupils
will return for their cards. The pent-
mp excitement broke loose when the
pupils ran from the buildings yester-
lay afternoon and splattered school
walls. pavements and fences tell the
story Of released restraint.
Ink bottles were smashed against
trees, pavements. school building and
walls, and states were broken. books
torn up and leaves scattered to the
Jour winds; and all because the small
boy was free from teacher and might
do. as he pleased. 1t was vacation
time.
Tho year. consisting OF two terms.
Just closed will doubtless prove a ban
ner year In the history OF Paducah
public schools. Every indication
points TO this fact. The work has
been better, attendance better. enroll
ment larger. and the unpleasant com
plications fewer. The year has passed
smoothly and the fact is gratifying to
the teacher. pupil and board member
THE High school department ex
perienced successful year Prinol-
pal L. G. Payne Stated this morning.
Il find on examination that the en-
rollment OF the High school this year
amounted to geo. the highest In the
history OF the schools. Last year we
had l6G and that was the highest
up until that time,
"The attendance has been better.
TOO, and I should say about 10 pc
cent increase over last year. taking
the two terms as a whole have no
definite figures but think this a safe
estimate"
In speaking Of the schools generally
well known school official stated to-
day that the schools as a whole wou,d
show,a big Improvement. There viii
be fewer demotlons or failures to pass
and more promotions than ever before
in the history of the schools. The
social features and other special work
promoted an interest in the work that
caught both teacher and pupils. and
more consistent interest was secured
The pupils and teachers worked more
for one cause. and enthusiasm never
tagged.

With two years yet to intervene
party politics is beginning to assume
a national scope and the fight for
control of the organizations in 1908
is taking on a preponderating I'm
portance in state affairs. BY force of
circumstances the Democratic party
finds itself involved in a struggle,
which calls for brisk rally around
opposing leaders, and we witness the
surprising spectacle of William Jen-
nings Bryan, whom some national
leaders had expected to kill of polit-
ically two years ago, not only loom
ing large as a presidential possibili-
ty but actually as the central figure
in the group composed of some of the
head men of the 1904 campaign. II
is the Hearst propaganda that has
caused this scurrying to the banner
of Bryan, and that remarkable per-
sonage finds himself confronted with
many of the features of previous sit
nations in his eventful career. Are
the men who are shouting Bryan for
him at heart or are they using him
only as a temporary shield against
the onslaughts of Hearst? and II
Bryan is nominated by the Demo
Gratis. will Hearst run independen tly
and thus hopelessly split the party
vote? These questions MrBryan may
well raise.

Miss Tenant and a gentleman friend

AL innocent, they did not know that
the ladies grill was the only room operi

was surprising the vast amount Of bus

to the grill at once, but at the first in
