What The Democratic Admins
tra!ion Has Done For Com
mon Schools.

What the Democratic administration
Of public affairs in Kentucky has done
for the common schools of the State.
and is doing as is evidenced by the
action just taken by Superintendent J.
H. Fuqua in declaring a per capita for
them for the coming school year Of
S3.4O, is one Of the best planks in the
platform under which its nominees will
go before the people in the November
election. Ali it asks Of the thinking
people Of the State is fair considera-
ton at their hands and a comparison
between what has been done IN the
eight years Of administration, and what
was done during the four years Of Re-
publican rule which preceded that
period Of time.
The per capita just declared by
Superintendent Falqua for the school
year of 1907-1908 is the largest declared
by the Department of Public Instruc-
ton. A most interesting and valuable
instruction to voters is given in a COM
parison Of it with the years from 1886
to 1900, when Republican officials were
in Office at Frankfort, and its growth
during the years since that time. The
per capita for each OF the last twelve
years was as follows:

have established two State Normal
schools for the better education and
training Of the teachers who are to
have charge of the education of the
children of the State. and have, in
their first year, brought them up to
the standard Of long established schools
Of the kind in other States. Results
are better than high sounding plati-
tudes. such as are embraced in Repub-
lican campaign platforms. and the
reading, thinking people of Kentucky
are invited to look to what has been
done before casting their votes in
November.

School Year.
Per Capita.

Averaging the above, dividing the
twelve years into three terms of Office,
it will be ascertained that the average
per capita for the common school from
1886 to 1900, both inclusive, the four
years Of Republican administration,
was $3.50. Fo. the years 1900 and
1903, both inclusive. the first four years
OF Democratic administration, and fol-
lowing the disastrous close of the Re
publican administration when the State
superintendent Of Public instruction,
Of that party, deserted his office with
out making q report, the average per
capita was $246f, an increase OF 11a
cents. For the years 1904 to 1907. both
inclusive, the average per capita was
S3.223, an increase over the preceding
four years Of 742 cents, and over the
four years Of Republican rule Of go
cents.
The showing of the Democratic adj
ministration for the eight years is even
better than what is shown by these
figures, for when the Republican adj
ministration went out Of Office ii left a
deficit in the School Fund of S147, 657.-
%. This deficit was incurred by the
efforts Of the Republican administra-
ton to force the school per capita for
the campaign year 1899 to the un
natural and wrongful figures of So. 70.
1t was left for the Democratic admins
tration to meet when it took up the
affairs of government, and the Court
OF Appeals held that, although the def
cit had been wrongfuily created, it
must be paid by the State on the
ground of services received.
Should the Democratic officials at
Frankfort have desired to play that
sort of politics. which was very detri-
mental to the interests of the common
schols of the State at that time, they
could have this year declared a per
capita Of $3.50 or even S3.70, q dollar
greater than the close of the Republi-
can administration, and stood a much
better chance to meet the demands on
the public Treasury than did the Re
publicans in 1899. But their admins
tration has been throughout the past
seven years a business one in every re-
spect, as the people of the State have
come to know, and in declaring a per
capita this school year of S340, which
is ten cents greater than for the pre-
ceding year, they have only declared
an amount which the revenues of the
Commonwealth fully justify, and which
they will meet as the funds become
due to the teachers Of the schools.
Not only in the matter of per capita
have the Democratic officials been
at work for the best interests of the
common schools of the State. Through
Democratic votes in the General As

Good For Democracy.

u0Od For Democracy.
That Democratic administration of
public affairs in the State Of Kentucky
for the last seven years, or since w. s.
Taylor and other Republican leaders
became fugitives from justice charged
with the blacklist crime in the history
Of the Commonwealth, has been for
the best interests Of all the people Of
the State, and has 90 a great extent re-
stored the condolences destroyed by
that crime, is evidence of The influx
Of foreign capital during the last few
years seeking investment. The public
records will bear out the statement that
more money has poured into Kentucky
during the last half dozen years than
for quarter of 3 century before that
time; that more firms and corpora
tions with large capital have been or
gained within the State by citizens Of
other States in conjunction with the
citizens of Kentucky, and that more Of
the fortunes made IN Kentucky have
been invested within the State, than
during any similar period in the his
tory of the State.
That nothing is more chary than
money seeking investment is we'll
known fact. and, following the out
rageOus Republican crime of 1900, it
was well recognized by the best citi-
zens of the State that its development
would be greatly retarded, for, while
assassination before that time had
been charged solely to the fcud sections
Of the eastern, part OF the State, It had
been committed on the door stone of
the State Capitol. Every energy Of
the Democratic officials, the party hav-
ing just returned to power, was devot-
ed to restoring that confidence which
all felt was absolutely necessary to the
well-being of their Commonwealth.
How well they have succeeded is shown
on every page Of the Legislative Acts,
on the records Of every public office,
IN Department reports for the period,
and in financial circles not only in Ken
tucky but elsewhere.
This condition is nowhere better
shown than in a report just made to
Governor Beckham by Prof Chas. J.
Norwood, Of Lexington, Chief Inspec-
tor OF Mines and State Geologist for
Kentucky. Prof. Norwood shows by
actual figures reported to him for the
various coal mines in Kentucky that
the output of commercial coal in the
State has doubled within the last half
a dozen years. From an output of s.
O2O,675 tons Of coal in 1900, there mas
been an increase of 9O.l8 per. cent, or
a production last year Of 9, 500, 529 tons. !
That outside capital has confidence once
again in Kentucky is shown by the
statement in Ike report of Prof. Nor
wood that the number OF operating
companies has increased from ninety
one, working 123 mines in 1900, to 2O7, !
operating 277 mines last year.
Not only in coal, but in other mine
rails has outside capital been interest
ed during these last seven years of
Democratic administration. It is also |
shown in the Norwood report that, !
while there has been a gratifying II
crease in the production of coal, there
has also been much invested in the |
mining of flour spar and barytes, with |
their associated lead and zinc ores.
1t may surprise some people to know |
that Reed Smoot. the Mormon Senator.
