Judge Langin's House Destroyed

Fire destroyed the residence of Judge Elmer Langin Sunday about noon. Practically all of the goods within the house were destroyed. also. as the flames spread so rapid ly that the entire building was envelopefi in flames before the goods could be saved. By hard work the crowd which gathered succeeded in preventing the spread ing of the fire, though the house adjoining on the west. was some what damaged. MT. Langin's loss amounts to something in the neigh horhood of thousand dollars. There was no insurance on either the house or the household goods, and the loss is therefore total.

LEST WE FORGET.

We always carefully preserve files
of our contemporaries. not so much
TO conserve their wisdom. as to con-
found them with. The News-Demo-
crat has declared that under the
present management" the paper has
never traduced Superintendent Lieo;
but we quote two statements made
by that paper, both of them under
the present management.
Under date OF May 80. 1907, the
Democrat in an article headed:
"Paducah Schools. They Are As
Good As Any in the State of Keu-
lucky" said:
"The public schools of Paducah
are as good as can be found amy
where in the state of Kentucky
Under the superintendency Of Prof.
Lieb the schools have been greatly
improved. especially the High school,
where he has added new studies.
When he leaves his record Will be
one of which he can boast"
Last evening the News-Democrat
said: at nevertheless remains a fact
that the Paducah schools under Prof.
Lieb's management did not arrive at
that proper degree of usefulness de-
sired"
Now. will somebody please arise
and say that one or the other OF
those statements appeared during
the absence of the general manager
and through an innocent oversight
on the part of the editor" and that
the "News-Democrat, believing above
all else in the common justice that is
due every one, not only makes this
statement as a matter of form, but
takes greater pleasure in correcting
a statement that should meyer have
been made" etc?

The Paducah evening sun. [volume] (Paducah, Ky.) 1906-1929, 1907-07-11

the conclusion of the too
evidently inspired editorial that the
article inferred that the school trus-
tees resigned because Professor Car
nagey is coming; an inference pre-
posterous, because the article says
these very men elected Professor
Carnagey. We don't mind going TO
this length Of explanation, because
the same story in substance appeared
the day before on the front page Of
The sun and passed without COM
ment.
we deeply deplore the fact that
Professor Carnagey's name had TO
be dragged into a controversy by
our laundering contemporary; but
since The sun is charged with har-
boring malice against him, why, The
Sun shall reply.
The SUNS position in regard to
the public school system of Paducah
IS too well established to need de-
Tense. Since the election of Professor
Carnagey The sun has declared edi-
toriaIly its policy of UNFOLDING the
administration Of the schools. Pro
lessor Carnagey on each visit to Pa
ducah has called at The Sun Office,
and he knows, perhaps, even better
than the omnlscient editor of the
News-Democrat. how he stands with
the staf personally.
Some of the statements in the
editorial, outlining
its policy toward the schools, may
confuse its readers. in view of the
attitude it has assumed toward the
administration in the past Many
people remember It's maleVOlent as
saults on Superintendent Lieb, as
well as other prominent citizens, fol
which humiliatlng apology was made
ana responsibility side-stepped. But
the News-Democrat changes hands
and staff and policy so frequently
! It Is scarcely to be expected that
each succeeding regime should take
cognizance of the vagaries of Its
predecessors.
As to the latest enunciatiOn that
| It will support the schools, The Sun
extends the hand of fellowship. As
long as the News-Democrat speaks
fair of the school system, we shah be
on the same side-but the editorial
leader in question Is filed away to be
flung back in the teeth Of an erratlC
contemporary at its first exhibition Of
an inclination to attack somebody Oh
personal grounds.
