 Against Northern Vines.

 A nurseryman recently applied Q the Board of Horticulture for emission to bring a large num- CT of grape vines from Tulare ounty into Imperial Valley and he Board applied to State Horti- ultural Commissioner Jeffreys or advice on the subject. The Commissioners reply was read at he Supervisors meeting this week. and it was emphatically ad- erse to the nurseryman's peti- ion. The Commissioner said here was great danger of intro lucing phylloxera and he earnest Y urged the Board to make it impossible to ship into Imperial ounty a single vine from north if Tehachepi. He affirmed pos lively that phylloxera does not Ixist in California south of that mountain barrier and he urged he importance of keeping South rn California clear of the pest.

Imperial Naney'
 Regular train service on the
 uthern Pacific's extension bm Calexico twenty miles into exican territory-the line that
 building to Yuma-will be tablished by Dec. 3l, the limit
 the extension of time granted
 the Mexican government for
 npliance with the terms of the ncession.
 Most of the new line will lie
 thin the borders of the Cali rnia- Mexico ranch; and from : is great stock producing ction will doubtless come much affic for the railroad.
 There are now 150 men engag-
 in track laying, and 150 more
 grading the roadbed, while 0 head of horses and mules e engaged in leveling road avs and making excavations.
 When the first train schedule
 placed in operation, it is likely at the terminal will be pcopah. Men are at work at esent arranging tariffs and her necessary data for the new he. The tariff and train service i'll be under the direction of F. Andrade, son of the late eneral Andrade, Mexican con- | at Los Angeles. He will i've the title of assistant gen. al manager.
 While much interest is taken
 the Imperial valley and the Iexican territory in the build g of the Inter-California rail- Yad, says the Los Angeles ines, 1t is also of import Ice to Los Angeles and much moment to He Southern Pacific system. Then completed to the Yuma ,nnection, this extension will five logical route for the pas .nger service of the Fl Paso ne to Los Angeles. Instead of ,nding heavy trains around by le old route, and encounter1ng eavy grades, it is probable lat they will be diverted so as use the Inter-California ex- I;nsion and the Southern Pacific ne now stretching thru the cen- ,r of the Imperial valley from he head of the Salton sea to alexiCO.
 Railway men claim that this pad will be far less expensive :, mantain and that better time m be made over this route than yer the one now in use. This, f course, would mean providing pr a better passenger service trough the rapidly settling nperial valley and the relief of long suffering people from the resent tram sevice, than which worse would be hard to ina inc.
 It would mean the bringing in- } close touch with Los Angeles f a valley bound to be thickly lhabited, and as rich as the alley of the Nile. The coming f better railroad service, too, ,ould mean the hastening of the he advent of a population into ae Imperial valley and the soil Pill produce crops abundant nough to feed half a million

No Small Potatoes

E. E. Forester never tires of digging up giant sweet potatoes and bringing them into town to show what Imperial Valley soil can produce. He came in on Thursday with a 14-pound specimen and announced that he had just prospected one hill which contains 50 pounds of tubers. The big potatoes, he ayers, are better than the small ones.

PLENTY OF ADVICE.
Big Racing Auto Attracts Crowd on
Broadway.

The big 95lhorse power automobile
racer, one of the Vanderbilt Cup
machines, got balky at Fifth street
and Broadway this morning shortly
before noon and for more than an
hour crowd watched the frantic eff
forts of the mechanician to work the
big machine.
''If that was my automobile |
would sell it to Rittoff, the junk deal
er. for 80 cents" one urchin remark
ed.
''Say, Teller, yer water tanks leak
i'm" one urchin who loafs about a
local garage remarked. The man
looked up but ventured no reply.
"And yer sparker seems to be going
rotten" was the second remark. The
machinist still worked with not a
word to the too willing critics. He
had screwed and unscrewed bolts and
taps and was at the point of explod-
ing when the second urchin ventured
his last suggestion.
'Say yer carbereter seems to be
dirty was the final information Of
fered.

What Osteopathy WIN Do.

are far too many who have accredit.

but very true illustration.

LA FoLLErTHs ALARM.

Senator La Toilette says that the
growth of gigantic combinations OF
capital has robbed the people OF their
power, and he thinks that "democra-
cy is on trial for its life, the country
is in peril. the republic is undergo
ing a complete change"
These are plainly oratorical exag-
gerations. Though gigantic combi-
nations of capital have acquired too
much power over the people, the
country's peril is purely imaginary,
unless the people themselves have
undergone a great change. The strug-
gle is one that can be judged correct
ly only by taking into view long
historical periods. We know that in
the past democracy has overcome all
dangers. that the development of the
which the senator has
in mind is a recent Development, that
1t has caused already a popular up
rising that is checking the evils of
corporate management, and that just
at the present time It is the corpora
tons that appear to be in peril. The
wrath that has been aroused against
them has become so menacing that
the question now Is whether radicai>
ism may not go so far as to cause
the country some injury not through
a submission to corporate wealth but
a persecution that may have
a disastrous effect upon our indus
tries.
Actually II is becoming incumbent
on many who have favored and who
still favor fair control OF the cor
porations for the protection of popu-
lar rights to- issue warnings against
The minimizing. reckless corporation
Daiters who are for condscating leg
station. Obviously, therefore, the
lay has gone by fox those wild
alarms in which the senator indulg.
IS. We must beware the danger OF
Iemagogy enacted into statutes.

POPE OPPOSES FRENCH TERMS
Church Organs Says Vatican Will Re
ject French Agreement.

Paris. Feb. 26.-The clerical or
gans unite in declaring that Cardinal
Richard, archbishop of Paris will not
submit to the new proposal Of the gov
eminent regarding the church leases.
Their Rome. dispatches categorically
insist that Pope Plus is resolved 10
maintain dntegraaly the original text
offered blythe French episeopate and
to refuse even to discuss The govern
ment's exceptions relative to the liza
bllity OF parish priests for the keep
ing up of churches and the exclusion
of foreign priests of dissolved orders
as parties to contracts.
Whether these inspired statements
are only part of the diplomatic game
remains to be seen.
Premier Clemenceau now admits
frankly that so far as he is concerned
he never expected the church to ac-
|cept the conditions as to leases, but
he says Minister of Education BRAND
did and that the cabinet unanimously
accorded him a chance to conclude
the negotiations upon the terms stat
ed.
"The future will show who is right
whether he is the victim of an iilu-
sion or / am mistaken" the premier
added.
"If no agreement is reached, what
win happen?" Premier Clemenceau
was asked.
Nothing very terrible" the per-
mier replied. 81 think we will re-
turn to the solution previously con-
templated. The churches will remain
open, that goes without saying, and,

the schools. In the half dozen times
THE SUN has mentioned the trouble
editorially, it can be truthfully said
that this paper has taken no sides in
personal controversies. THE SUN
has raised its voice in protest, only
when the discipline and the inter
ests Of the schools were assailed by
the combatants. Whether Superin-
tendent Lieb is right or wrong, he is
superintendent of the schools. and
personal attacks on him in his Off
cial capacity coming from those in
authority over him has created a con-
dition In the schools, which parents
scarcely can realize, and the chief
condition is in the minds of the i'm
pressible children, VINO are drinking
in the progress of the wrangle, and
forming mental conclusions that will
affect them for life.
There is an election approaching
when one-half the school board will
be elected. We have had enough of
politics in schools. We do not care
whether the next board is Democratic
or Republican, or both, or neither;
but we do care whether It is compos-
ed of men whose sole purpose in ac-
cepting the Office is to safeguard the
schools and look first to the interest
of pupils instead of to the interest
of their friends. There should be a
non-partisan board elected. and then
when the legislature convenes, an
amendment to the charter should be
secured, providing for a school cleo
ton every two years instead of ev-
cry year, so that the schools will not
be thrown In annual confusion by the
|exigencies of party politics and polit-
ical campaigns.

POLITICS AND SCHOOLS.

Politics, the kind that exploits g
public school for party advantage. OIL
personal favorites, threatens to teal
down all that has been accomplished
in three years in the Paducah
schools particularly the High
school. Both parties have now had a
trial at running the schools. 1t is
time the citizens were taking a hand
in their management. How parents
can acquiesce in conditions that are
harmful to their growing, developing
children, is beyond the understand
ing of one, who has seen the same
parents anxiously inquiring into the
personnel of livery stable attendants,
where they keep the family horse.
There is too much playing of poll
tics; too much vindictiveness. that
asserts Itself regardless OF the eff
fects on discipline and honor; too
much covering of defects in the sys-
tenn.
The present condition of things
was foretold to many by the pre-
election attitude of the members.
They were selected, secretly to be
sure. in opposition to the present adj
mlnistration. That is all very we'll, if
so it must be; but that opposition
should not have asserted Itself to
the detriment or the schools. Had the
board been OF that composition of
which good school boards are formed,
It would have bided its time and
then performed its Will when the
hour arrived, instead OF neaping ig-
nomlny on the superintendent, en-
deavoring to cripple him in the per-
Torrance of his duty, and destroy
ing discipline among the principals
and teachers, ana thereby setting an
example to the Children. which must
be reflected in their attitude toward
the next Superintendent, in their
homes and in whatever position they
may hereafter be placed. The men,
bers by casting -asperslons on I'M
named teachers and principals have
bred scandal IN the schools, all Of
which must have been greedily dis
cussed by the children. The trustees
did not consider that ev-
cry open attack on the superintend-
ent during his administration was
an attack on the schools, from which
they never can recover until the
affected are graduated.
Children are prone TO follow exam
pies. especially bad ones. and the
school trustees have set them some
notable ones.

BUDGET FIGURES
Concluded from FIRST page.)


$1.S5, or 20 cents higher, the income
would nave been increased, approx
mately $4,000. making the income
on last years assessment at that rate,
ls16G.SS4.15.
To find the income for this year at
that rate, the income from the s449,-
lS7S, may be added to the s166.sS4.-
10, making $174.6O9.15, estimated
total income from property tax in
I19O7.
From other sources in round num-
bers $4,000 may be anticipated
bringing the total estimated revenue
to 1854, 609.15. to cover a budget
carrying $257.25s.
Excellent Collections.
1t will be seen by comparison that
Paducah has been collecting far in
excess Of the 80 per cent. allowed by
Lexington, Covington and Newport,
and taking last years collections as
basis gives a more optimistic color
to the situation than discounting ten
per cent for delinquents and errors.
| 1t may be that the estimate of $780,
900 from sources other than ad-
valorem taxes may be too high, be-
cause the hospital and police court
have both been falling below last
years record in collections for the
first two months. On the other hand
the Textbook supervisors have been
making an unusually careful exami-
nation of the books, eliminating dou-
be assessments and discrepancies
that have accumulated year by year,
and this years assessment should be
consequently accurate.
The collections for last year and
previous years reflect great credit on
the energy, perslstency and capable
ity of City Treasurer Dorian and City
Auditor Kirkland, who make a rec
ord far ahead OF similar officers in
sister cities.
The finance committee will meet
Friday and probably Mayor Yeiser
will bring up the tax rate question
for solution early in March.
