feeling in labor circles against the

Darrows argument developed into
an appeal for labor as against can

tuting a combination against work

After some As hours neglest of
the subject, the News-Democrat last
evening revived its interest in the
Boyle case sufficiently to devote over
a half column to interviews with at
torneys concerning what the attor-
neys believed Judge Reed. of the cir
cult court, had practically decided in
the case. and what those attorneys
would do in case Judge Reed should
admit certain pleadings. Waving a
natural curiosity as to the purpose
of the article, We have two sugges-
lions to offer-the circuit court is
located in Paducah, not over six
blocks from any newspaper Office,
and its sessions are public; the best
way to get news of the proceedings
in that court is to send a reporter to
the court. II we desired TO know
what attitude Judge Reed had as
sumed toward a particular issue, we
should interview Judge Reed, rather
than an advocate for either side.

Barley water is excellent; so also are

along lines different from those sug-
gested by the work mapped out.
While a majority of the addresses
bore directly on some class of educa-
ton, other suggestions awakening
discussions have resulted not aimed
at in the regular course of study.
The institute is by far the most
successful ever held. The instructor
believes that he will catch up with
the program today, and no night SEES
sions will be necessary. The volume
of work to be done at first suggested
night sessions. but the dispatch eX-
hibited in the work showed clearly
that day sessions would be sufficient

with devotional services by Miss

followed with a jiano solo, and Coun-

The Sun indorses the action of the
meinbers of the board OF public
works in protesting against the man.
ner in which First street is blocked
to traffic by the railroad tracks. The
tracks should conform to the grade
and they should be filled in. The
river traffic of Paducah is constantly
increasing and wharfage is now
scarcely sufficient for the trade.
With Kentucky avenue wantonly
blocked, hauling is hampered, and
there is no excuse for such total
disregard of the rights of the public.
We trust the board of public works
will now proceed to compel whoever
is responsible to put those tracks in
proper condition, so that the rights
OF other people to travel on First
street may be equally recognized
with that of the railroad.

NEW VOCATION is
OPENED FOR GIRLS
New York Firm Chooses Then
to Take the Place of Of.
flee Boys.
From the New York Tribune.

TIL sins of the office boy have de-
cended upon his head at the Ameri-
can Trading compan' where since
Monday there have been five fewer Of
the beginning. Unless the girls who
have filled the five vacant places dis
appoint the expectations of every one
concerned. twenty-five more boys will
find their doom sealed before any great
length of time. Those only will find
salvation who are needed to catch
steamers. A girl obviously cannot be
expected to tear down Wall street with
q letter for a steamer scheduled to
sail in five minutes Neither could one
say to her as n of the managers re-
marked yesterday: Hey, there Katy,
beat 1t to the steamer with this letter."
Perhaps she would run just as fast,
without such admonitions," suggests
the reporter.
THAT Is true" remarked the man
ager. "When you ask a girl to do a.
thing she does it Immediately. A boy
ready. A boy will sometimes keep a.
package of letters a week before he
copies Them"
The girls were first tried in the filing
department. where the work had for
merly been done by boys, and they
were such a success that the head of
the mailing department, who happens
to be a woman. said she wanted to try
girls. too. Hence the staff of five. 1t
was found that the girls We're heater
and more accurate than the boys and
didn't fool so much. 1t is true that
they spent a little more time fixing
their hair and adjusting their collars
than the boys did, but that kind of
ldling does not disturb a whole office
the way a boys pasttimes do. Further
