King Edward VI. Grammar School at
 louth, England.

sightseer at Louth, this ancient
 school, peacefully ensconced in the
 valley of the rivulet Lud, is full of in.
 terest. The town is in Lincolnshire,
 not far from the eastern coast of Eng.
 land. and while a majority of the 10,-
 900 inhabitants are busy in the iron
 foundries, breweries, carriage shops
 and carpet factories of the place.
 few old schoolmasters are trying to
 uphold the reputation of the grammar
 school, which for six centuries back
 has been turning out famous 'old
 boys" Among the laurel.wreathed
 escutcheons on the walls of the old
 school are names of distinguished alumni. including Lord Alfred Tenny- son and Sir John Franklin, the Arctic explorer-names that are as we'll known in America as homely John Smith" The school was founded as a royal school in 1851, but it had exist. ed for many years before that date as a guild" school. The only relic of the building in which Johnny Smith spent his school hours is bust of Ed ward VI., and when gazing at the plaster features of his sovereign 1t may be guessed that Johnny little thought that bust of himself would some day grace the school, as 1t now does.
 The Smith boys connection with the school is covered very vaguely in the school records of 300 years ago about as vaguely as a Smith boys" record would be chronicled today. After few terms at a school in Al. ford. near his home. Johnny is known 10 have become restless and his fla ther decided 10 send him to Louth where he might live with a relative and attend the royal school The period was tempting one for Johnny, for it was shortly after the annihila. tion of the Spanish Armanda and the tales of adventure and glories of war which filled his ears famed the flames of adventure in his young heart. He was on his way to school fin ierkin and doublet and high ruff | collar one day. when he met a ped- | dler to whom he sold his books and planned to go to sea on the proceeds. At this juncture he was called home ] by the death of his father. and his aged mother also soon passed away. leaving the would-be adventurer an orphan. The rest of his life story is known to the world.

Ribbons are advantageousIy made into stocks by using the very narrow ribbon, either in satin or velvet and all Of the different shades known to the manufacturer may be employed in their creation.
 If organdie is used to construct the Jacket. on account of its width, it will take very little over yard. This would insure the wearer garment at very little cost. and one as fresh and airy as may well be imagined.
 Ribbons are very much utilized in forming half-princess gowns. The high girdle belts are fashioned of velvet ribbons and the skirt material and the straps going over the shoulder are of the ribbon.

Doa Saves Rabbit,

A sportsman on the Huntsham es. tate. North Devon. had a rabbit brought to him by his spaniel. which had caught it under a hedge.
 The rabbit could walk only very feebly. though all its limbs were found to be sound. In it's mouth. however. was a thick tvig about three inches long. which had become wedged in be hind the teeth in the rabbits rush from some threatened danger. The animal was unable to extract the twis with it's paws and was being gradual ly starved to death when it was found by the dog--London Evening Stand ard.

SMITHS ALMA MATER
WHERE CAPT. JOHN OF COLO. NAL FAME WENT TO SCHOOL.
Bust of the Hero of Pocahontas' De. votlon Is Presented to the Gram. mar School at Louth,
 England.

The name of Capt. John Smith has
 been linked so closely with the set clement of Jamestown that the cele- bration of that event in the James town exposition has served to revive interest in the intrepid captain who figured so largely in the romance and tragedy of the early life of the first English settlement on American soil. But If America has not forgotten Capt. Smith. neither have they in England, for there has just been pre-. sented to the King Edward VI. Gram mar school. at Louth, the school where Capt. Smith wrestled as boy with the three R's," a bust of its most illustrious illumnus. The fact that the gift is from Maj. Gen. Baden Powell. who claims to be direct ilineal descendant of the doughty colonizer.' and was made by the gen. eral himself, makes the presentation decidedly appropriate.
 Maj. Gen. Baden-Powell, known to every Englishman as B. P" since his heroic defense of Mafeking in the Boer war, is many-sided man, and not the least of his talents is sculp- ture. Some time ago B. F." discov- cred that there were no busts of his fllustrious ancestor" and in order that his features might be preserved to posterity, he set about to use few minutes before breakfast every morn ing in modelling bust of Capt. John Smith. One replica of this work, it may be remembered, the amateur sculptor courteously presented to the state of Virginia and a second copy of the same has been given to the royal school at Louth.

Ispeech knows that the News-Demo-

pediency. Everybody knows the

Low important to our social and civic

to suit the convenience of it's views,
can one believe the same paper on

NEWSPAPERS AND PARTY
ORGANS

Some newspapers forget that they
are supposed to be newspapers be-
fore they are party organs. The
Sun expects to go on reporting facts
for the people of Paducah after the
present campaign is over, and its
reputation for truth and accuracy is
more important than the success of
any ticket. The Sun has its choice
of party principles, and its choice for
public Offices, and 1t is the policy of
The Sun to advocate their success in
a dignified manner, swaying as little
as may be to the passion of the cam
paign. We have right to give our
views of the opposition's campaign,
methods and acts; but If The Sun told
o deliberate falsehood about a meet
ing of the opposition, for instance
we should feel that those who know
the truth, forever afterward would
doubt the paper in those emergencies
honesty is the deciding factor in set
Ting a difference of opinion. This
observation is suggested by the state
ment of the News-Democrat, concern
ing the address of A. f. Wilson
Thursday night: "Of the 500 people
who went to hear Mr.. Wilson, at
least two-thirds were negroes" The
whole statement is a deliberate, base
falsehood. There we're appreciably
more people there than were out to
Haar Covernor Reckham and Con
eressman James, and the proportion
of white people was greater. Every

The fact that more than a thousand
people stood in the rain Thursday
night and listened to the arraign-
ment of the state machine by Hon.
Augustus L. Wilson, indicates the
seriousness with which the people of
this city consider the mismanage-
ment and corruption which he ex-
posed, and the impression he made
on his hearers. Mr.. Wilson's words
carry conviction to the hearts of his
hearers and leave the impression Of
earnestness and honesty of purpose.

THE LIMOGES


OF all the transparent, vicious
cowardly and unpatriotie ebullitionl
that have arisen to the surface from
the black bottom of the pot of parti
san malice the following from the
New York World caps the climax:
The New York Sun, a newspaper
which has long had exceptionally
close relations with the state depart
ment, in an editorial yesterday said
Those who apparently have the
fright to express authoratively ex-
plantations of the object of trans
ferring the navy to the western coast
persists in saying that it is for prac-
tice. We regret to say that we share
the japanese belief that the explana-
tion is false.
The navy is going to the Pacific
for war with Japan, and Japan recog-
nizes the fact and is energetically
preparing for 1t. Once the operation
of transferring our ships to Pacific
waters has been accomplished war is
inevitable.
1t is an insane project
Coming from such a source. this
is a remarkable statement. It contra
diets the solemn assurances of the
administration. II conflicts with the
immediate facts so far as they ap-
pear outwardly in our relations with
Japan.
AT this moment Mr.. Taft is act
ually In Japan on a mission of friend
ship and good will. His first words
on landing at Yokohama we're:
America and Japan always will be
friends. The necessity for arms in
trade is something we do not recog-
nize. / speak as the secretary of war
of America and also as the secretary
of peace"
THE American people do not de-
sire war with Japan. They see no
occasion for war. The administra-
ton processes to know of none. No
more does Japan, for the best Of rea-
sons. desire war with the United
States Its credit has been overtaxed
and its resources drained by the ex.
struggle with Russia. Even
II 1t were hostile at heart it must re-
cover its strength before engaging In
another war, except in self-defense.
Yet Mr.. Roosevets battleship ex-
petition to the Pacific is bad policy
because 1t may lead to real compiled
tons. The fact that 1t could elicit
such an amazing prediction of war as
the Sun makes is proof Of its disturb
ing and demoralizing influence. 1t ex,
cites suspicion. because it is pure lin.
goism. American and Japanese lin
goes alike will use it to exaggerate
causes of ill-feeling. To provoke
war talk, as Mr.. Roosevelt is doing
IS TO create war sentiment"
II we did not remember the abuse
.hese same jingoes heaped on the ad.
for not Immediately de-
'laring war against Japan on account
If the San Francisco incident, we
would be put on notice of the char
lcter of the editorial by the intro
iuctory statement about the New

ion has no more bitter nor more UNI
