THE SUN while always supporting
his administration. did not urge him
to remain. He and his best friends
felt that his usefulness here for the
present is ended. not from any fault
of his, but because of conditions over
which he had no control. We stood by
MIN, because we felt that discipline
demanded that we support the school
head. We shall show the same
steadfast friendship toward mis- sue
cessor in all his efforts for the bet
terment OF the Paducah public

said superintendent Lieh was elected
for year, commencing September 1.
1906. The other papers of even date
corroborated this, and the contract
was not drawn up and signed until
the following June.
Irregularities of the most informal
character have marked the proceed
ings of the present board. Vacancies
we're filled before the board was or
ganized; and 1t is believed by people
acquainted with the law that mem
bers-elect voted before they were leg
ally qualified. DR.. WATSON resigned
to escape any financial liability that
might be incurred by individual
members, on account of the invalidity
of the acts of the board so irregularly
constituted.
Men on the board, who would Co
operate usefully under different con-
ditions, lack the qualities of leader
ship. and would TACK followers if they
possessed these qualities.
These are some of the evils, which
a change in the makeup OF the board,
calculated to unhorse the self-seek-
ing dictators, will bring about; but
deeper down toward the root of things
there are other and more serious ills
that affect the schools There Is in
competence and INSTRUMENTATION. and
Vaccinations against the administra-
ton that may give the new superin-
tendent trouble the first time he I'M
dertakes to assert himself and de-
ciines to be made the tool of a board,
which is swung by the under current
of school politics. An, there's that
word again-politics. Not Demo-
Gratis and Republicans; but alliances
and feuds; cabals and plots and
counterplots among the school folks
and their allies outside.
AS to this latter fact, We are not
alone Let us hear from one who
denounces anything THE SUN is first
to advocate. In the course Of an edi-
torial 1t SAYS
SO far as the late unpleasant
ness in the school is concerned,
We had but little to say in this
column, in fact our only COM
ment was made in three or four
lines about six months ago when
we observed that the clouds
hanging over the schools we're
identical with those a few years
ago. Consequently the ultimate
result was no surprise. and we
are candid enough to say that If
another row breaks out in the
schools that the people win not
only demand but insist that all
PARTIES connected with it be dis
missed from the service. While
we would not wish to see an in
justice done any one. still the
welfare of the schools comes
first, and If quick work is made
of those who clash, others Will
profit by 1t.
Now, here's a clew. The clouds
were identical with those of a few
years ago." Therefore, Superintend-
ent Lieb must not have been the
cause of the recent trouble in the
schools, for. he was identified with no
former disorders. 1t was some other
cause He, as we suspected, has
been made the victim of plot, or of
conditions with the production of
which he had nothing TO do.
Here we have a man, who processes
to know what is the trouble. and
threatens that If it happens again as
1t has twice, he will ''insist that all
parties connected with IT. be dismiss
ed from the service" His language
denotes that there are people and
not mere conditions at the bottom of
the trouble, and the writer must belle
