SCHOOL PER- CAPITA
of Kentucky for loO7-S
The Largest Ever.
IS DUE TO DEMOCRATIC RULE
A Business Administrative Be-
ing Conducted on Strictly
Business Principles.

What the Democratic administra-
ton 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 Superin-
tendent ]. H. Fuqua in declaring
per capita for them for the coming
school year of $40, is one of the
best planks in the platform under
which it's nominees will go before the
people In the November election. All
it asks of the thinking people OF the
state Is fair consideration at their
hands and a comparison between what
has been done in the last eight years OF
its administration, and what was done
during the four years of Republican
rule which preceded that period OF
time.
The per capita just declared by
Superintendent Fuqua for the School
year of 19O7-190S is the largest ever
declared by the Department OF
Public Instruction. A most interest
ing and valuable instruction to voters
is given in a comparison of 1t with
the years from 1896 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 twelve years was as

Bullet in His Brain.

Hopkinsville, KY, July 2O.-The
body of Sherley Mitchell, aged seven
teen, a SON of w. E. Mitchell, of
Herndon, was found at noon to-day.
There was 22-caliber rifle ball in
his brain. He had gone frog hunting
the previous afternoon. Failing to
return all night, search was made
for him, which ended with discovery
of the body at an isolated pond. The
shooting is supposed to have been ac-
cidental.

Averaging the above, dividing the
twelve years into three terms of Of
flee, it will be ascertained that the
average per capita for the common
schools from 1896 to 1900, both in
elusive, the four years of Republican
administration, was 81 50. For the
years 1900 and 100, both inclusive,
tie first four years of renoc attic
administration, and following the dis
astrous close of the Republican adj
Ininistratjon VIII n the state Superin-
tendent of public Instruction of
that party deserted his office without
making a report, the average per
capita was $2.46 ga, an increase of IL
ga cents. For the years19O4 to 1907,
both inclusive, the average per capita
was 1922 IL cents, an increase over
the preceding four years of rs "a
cents, and over the four years of
Republican rule of 81 IL cents.
The showing of the Democratic ad-
ministration for the eight years is
even better than what is shown by
these figures, for when the Republican
administration went out of office it
left a deficit in the School Fund of
S14T,657.2S. This deficit was incur
red by the effort of the Republican
administration to force the school per
capita for the campaign year of 1899
to the unnatural and wrongful figures
of S2.70. This was left for the Demo-
cratic administration to meet when
it took up the affairs of government,
and the Court of Appeals held that,
although the deficit had been wrong
fully created, it must be paid by the
State on the ground of services re-
ceived.
Should the Democratic officials at
Frankfort have desired to play that
sort of politics which was very det-
rimental to the interests of the COM
mon schools of the State at that
time, they could have this year de-
clared per capita of $3.50 or even
$3.50, a dollar greater than at the
close Of the Republican administra-
ton, and stood much better chance
to meet the demands on the public
Treasury than did the Republicans in
1899. But their administration has
been throughout the past seven years
a business one in every respect. as
the people of the State have come to
know, and in declaring per capita
this school year of sS.40, which is
ten cents greater than for the pre-

The United States is losing annu-
ally sum larger than the capitali-

the country because of the decrease
in birds, declares president William
butcher, of the Audubon societies.
Agricultural crops valued at eight
hundred million dollars are annually
destroyed by insects which is en-
tirely due to the rapid decrease in
the number of birds in the country.
N. B. and the decrease in the num-
Der of birds is due to the number of
guns in the country with boys and
