We can see your precious face,
How thin and pale it grew,
You could not stay on earth with us
But we can go to you.

PRAYERS and tears were all in vain
Happy angels came and bore MIN,
From this world of toll and pain.

And we kissed his snowy white brow
In the quiet graveyard he's sleeping
We have no little Clinton now.

The presents are the finest ever seen

will last until September, when they
will then occupy the home of Earl

COOLER WEATHER

So Far, There Have Been No Pros

Four days running. Paducah has

sides. Relief, however. is pre-

weather telegram today advised pos

interesting and welcome news for
most people, that the newspapers
will publish today.
While Paducah usually runs high
in temperature. no city in the coun-
try has less prostrations from the
heat. Not a one has been reported
in this spell, and this is all the more
remarkable in view OF the suddenness
of the change into hot weather.
During the summer months there are
never a half-dozen prostTations In
the city. This morning started of
with a temperature OF 70.
The weather bureau today issued
the following bulletin predicting a
break in the hot wave throughout
the country
THE warm wave that now covers
the country generally east OF the
Rocky Mountains will break over the

THE COUNTRY's TRADE BAL
ANCE.

One of the encouraging things
which the fiscal year 1908 will show
will be balance In our foreign trade
which will break all the records. Our
exports for the eleven months ended
with May. as shown by the official
figures now at hand, have been larger
than for any previous corresponding
period. while our imports have fallen
OF from last year. The balance on
our side of the eleven months il
$632, 600. 600. The present month
will probably increase this figure to
the extent of at least s3'5 .0'SO 900.
In our dealings with the outside
world In the fiscal year 1907 We sold
$446 600, 900 more than we bought
Large as that big margin is, 1t has
been exceeded seven times In the past
all within recent years The larges;
balance on our side which has ever
rolled up was that of 1907, which
was 1864 J000. Oo0. That of 1908 will
be In the neighborhood of $3.50. 0VJ, ;
600. Although the reduction In ouI
imports has been heavy. there is o
fair prospect that our total foreign
trade exports and imports, Will cross

A HINT FROM MARsHFIELD.

An ordinance passed by the COM
.vieds for the capture and photograph
ing OF any resident of that place ad+
judged by the council to be an
habitual drunkard, and further de-
cress that duplicate prints made
from the resulting negative shall be
posted conspicuously in all the sa-
looms of the city.
Thus We are again reminded that
our own efforts in the line of civic
betterment and reform too often lack
the force OF novelty and the inspira-
ton OF genius. II is to the verdant
fields of our native. land that we
must go for the true iniative spirit
and the reform that brings results.
What. for instance, is our city or
dinapce, protesting against and pro-
viding a nominal punishment for the
thoughtless, unelean gentleman who
in, public places, as COM
pared with the Marshfield method
of humiliating the town drunkard?
How. much more effective would
become our lawful protests against
the individual whose foul ond bias
phemous language in public places
insults women and instructs boys IL
he could be photographed and dis
played.
Picture the immediate clearing up
of the State street curbs and corners
that would follow the establishment
of a public frame containing counter
fiet presentments of the leering
Washers who infest that thorough

OUR MUNICIPALITIES.

Is American municipal life sue
cess? There are not lacking critics
who say it is failure. The belief
that something better can be de-
vised has found expression in the
Galveston plan, which is better
known as the Commission system of
municipal government.
This system does not destroy the
representative principle, but abolish
es the somewhat ponderous double
legislative board system of the aver
age city and town. Usually five
men are selected by the voters from
the city at large. and these manage
the municipality. II has been tried
with apparent success in a number
of cities. principally in the west
where new ideas find the readiest
acceptance.
But 1t has not been adopted with
a rush. and the present system seems
good enough to an overwhelming ma
jority. So long as the representa-
tive principle is not lost, 1t is merely
question OF efficiency. in choice
between the two. The main thing
about our municipal life, as dlstin-
guished from continental city gov
ernments. is the source Of its au-
thority. Here the individual citi-
zen has a voice: there the so-called
upper classes, direct the affairs.
Our system undoubtedly turns
out a more independent. self-think-
ing, and free-acting citizen. 1t Is
a success for the reason that it sad
dies the individual with the response
bility of self-government, makes
him think. form an opinion. and act
He may think illogically, form a
fallacious opinion and act unwiseiy
but the citizen who does all three
even thus, is superior to the citizen
who has some one else to do them
for him, however excellent the sub
stitute may be. Whatever changes
may be made in our system, 1t should
be in form and not in substance.

The political organs. sometimes
termed newspapers, are always ready
to render their tunes. Last week
from Democratic Instruments we
heard such remarks as Now Roose-
welt will proceed to have his man
Friday, otherwise Taft, duly nomi-
mated for president, and incidentally
write the platform for him" This
week and next the Republicans will
come back with "Mr. Bryan's conven-
ton Is AN cut and dried, "a process
carefully attended to by himself; he
is saving out the last of his planks
for his platform and will go through
the form of duly nominating himself,
and constructing the platform in a
few days" Such are the joys of
journalism and American politics.

shall be named by each state with
authority to appraise the properties
in question, singly, with power to
contract for purchase or in default,
to condemn these; powers to be given
j to them by each state under care

to legislative approval. 1t would be a
pleasure for me to bring such legisla-
ton to the attention of the Governor
of Pennsylvania that he may present
it to the legislature of that state for
its concurrent action. These mp.
pointments could be made in the same

til that is done, lei the legislature by
bill fix the rates of toll on the bridges,
so that reasonable charges only shall
be made, instead of the exorbitsnt
ones now charged on some of the
bridges. A charge of As cents, as l
am told, is made at the Lambertville
bridge for double team to cross and
return, and. if so, 1t is grossly excess
sive. It must be so, because for the
same service at the Phillipsburg
bridge the charge is 10 cents. Equal
ly excessive charges are said to be
made for single horse vehicles and
automobiles. Foot passengers charg.
es should also be looked into. Any
thing that you may do in this direc-
ton, that is reasonable and just, shall

BOARD OF EDUCATION.

An adjourned regular meeting Of
the Board of Education was held on
Wednesday evening, March 25th with
President Ryan in the chair. The re-
port of the board of engineers of the
fire department of its inspection of
the High and Third Ward schools,
the others having been inspected pre-
yiously, was read and on motion of
DR.. Closson ordered fled and that
the board take such action as recon-
mended. Chief Engineer Arnett
stated that the board was not asking
for anything that was unnecessary
On motion of DR.. Closson the janitors
of all the schools have all the rubbish
removed at once. President Ryan
asked of Chief Arnett what it would
cost to have the alterations made at
the different schools, and he replied
that it would cost about $500 for First
Ward, High and Third Ward schools.
The building and repairs committee
reported that they had had an inter-
view with Mr.. Twomey about the
changes in the Second Ward school,
and that he refused to erect fire es-
capes, but would attend to the read
justment of the smoke pipe and the
railing for the steps and also the ele-
vator. The committee were author
lied to see that the changes were
made at once DR.. Closson then
moved that the building and repairs
committee attend to the fire escapes
matter in the Second Ward school at
once. The books and furniture CON-
mittee reported that they visited the
schools in regard to the fire extin-
guishers and found that the hose on
the one in the First Ward had rotted
of, that two at the High School work
ed poorly, one bottle broken, but at
the Third Ward they were all right
and those that needed repairs were
now being attended to.
On motion adjourned.
