THE NORMAL SCHOOLS.

Representative of the state nor
NAL schools have decided to bring
suit against state officials to enforce
the appropriation of 100000 au-
thorized by the last legislature. The
attorney general held that the appro-
priation measure was unconstitu-
tonal and the administration refused
to further fembarrass the state by
creating a greaer deficit. as the last
left considerably more
warrants outstanding than cash re-
serve. and the legislature, either
careleesly or designedly to embarrass
the present administration, neglected
to provide the money Il so bountiful-
~ appropriated for educational pur-
poses.
We do not see what there p for
either side 10 this controversy to do,
other than what 1t has decided
on. Since the legislature didn't pro-
vide the money, and there is none on
hand, and the attorney general thinks
the state is not bound. the admins
tration is acting wisely In refusing TO
conform TO the directions of the leg
|islature.
The representatives of the normal
schools, since the Legislature has au-
thorized such an appropriation
would be doing less than their duty In
not, at least. ascertaining whether
the legal opinion of the attorney gen.
eral has the sanction of the courts
In other words, the administration
Is outstanding the states meager re

school officials are single-mindedly

cation, which Is their duty. II the

structions of the legislature. re.

Louisville Tobacco Market.

Louisville. Ky. Aug. e9.-The
Louisville Tobacco Warehouse com
pany issued the follow OK review of
the leaf tobacco market.
The sales on our market for one
week. Including today, mounted to
500 hogsheads, divided as follows:
Bur,ey. 39S: dark, IA
"Burley--The market continues TO
pursue the even tenor OF ts way. The
small offerings and the unusually
small stocks that are available for
future offerings do not call forth any
eager demand. and price remain
practically unchanged. The present
requirements of the trade seem with
in the bounds Of the supply. and
there seems no dispositions to antlcl-
pate the results that may follow the
unprecedented curtailment the bur
ley crop.

degrading Damaged Tobacco.
All damaged tobacco stored with
the tobacco growers association in
this district Il being resampled at ne
warehouses and will be regarded and
aga'n offered for sale. Types from
surrounding towns. where sales are
made for the warehouses at Paducah,
are sending in types. while the dam
aged hogsheads stored in Paducah
warehouses are belpg regarded.
II claimed that there Is less
damaged tobacco stored In Paducah
Than at any point in the district and
that the farmers will not suffer very
great losses on that account. Things
are quite different at Wickliffe. Muir
ray and other places, and there are
hogsheads which tobacco manufact-
,u7ers say they cannot use and the
only buyer lett is the snuff manu-
factprer.

A SIMPLE ISSUE.

IL looks Ike simple issue that Is
up to the general council In refer
ence to the Standard OIL tanks at
Tenth and Monroe streets, Since the
plant was ignited by sparks from a
passing Illinois Central locomotive.
residents and property owners Of the
west end have demanded that the
tanks be removed from the city, be-
cause they constitute a menace to
their Hives and property, make the
property less desirable and market
able, and increase Insurance rates.
The Standard Oil company desires 10
maintain its tanks in the heart of the
city for its own convenience. As
City Solicitor Campbell said. the city
can compel the company TO remove
IT'S tanks outside the city by a law
OF general application, and in his own
mind II Is simply question OF
whether the tanks do actually con-
stitute a menace to that part of the
city. In other words, the general
council has only TO decide whether
there rs the actual danger. of which
property owners and residents COM
plain, or whether they are simply
hysterical.
IL should not take the members
long to make up their minds. The
Standard Oil company stores oil and
gasoline in its tanks. Are these in
fiammable. or are they not? II they
are. does that fact make their stor-
age In large quantities dangerous?
aud does the presence of the storage
tanks near the railroad, where sparks
from passing engines may ignite the
plant. make them more dangerous?
Now we know the plant was once
iignied. and that the fire chief after
careful investigation recommended
vthe removal of the plant outside the
city We know that the company
proposes 10 take extra precautions
hereafter. which IN itself IS an adj
mission that the plant is dangerous
We also know that the company
maintained the plant for years in
open and brazen violation OF the
city ordinance, thus showing that the
company is defiant OF the law and
dEsregardful of the safety Of the cfty.
II that plant, situated where II Is
is not dangerous and menace. why
Is the company promising extraordi-
nary precautions? Other concerns
and residences In that section are
not promising TO erect fire proof
buildings, though they had better do
SO. II the tanks are allowed to re-
main.

Just been exonerated by a commits

duty In prosecuting Insurance officials
and other big offenders; but as usual
much of tie stigma will remain. At
