THE DOMINANT FACTION.

About the only thing that could be
accomplished by aiding Democratic
success in the local election next
Tuesday would be to fasten on the
party organization the clutches of the
faction, which was so emphatically
rebuked in the mayoralty contest last
fall. One of the most ardent workers
of that faction is named for city
treasurer, admittedly running at tht
expense OF the organization, TO in
woke a lawsuit with the incumbent,
who was elected by the people.

Client votes to defeat II. r. Lindsey

the principal actor was innocent. but
which was so palpable that the local
organ was forced TO come out in an
editorial and express belated regret
over the occurrence, although II
never had a word to say on the sub
ject before the primary, and Mr.
Lang himself in a published card
said in substance: ''Hope to die,
didn't do it,"
IL is well known fact that those
people, who refused to swallow the
morse, prepared for them by this fac
ton last fall have been classified as
Smith Democrats" and those who
failed to stand by the organization
that time. We're punished in the pri-
mary this year.
The same crowd tried to make II

Bryan, in order to cram their theories
down the throat of the gold Demo

The whipping they got last fal,
has not prevailed to make this fac

RANK DEPOSIT GUARANTEE.

| n
The plank in the Democratic plat
! form which proposes the estab ish-
ment of a guarantee fund TO socure
deposits in national banks comes
nearer to being an accute issue IN the
present campaign than any thing else
yet discussed, says the Nashville
Banner. This is true because II has
been proposed by Mr.. Bryan and is
openly opposed by Mr.. Taft There Il
hardy any other question on which
the two candidates stand in such COM
plete opposition.
This Is a new question born In
the experimental state OF Oklahoma,
and the limited trial II has had tn
that new commonwealth Is the only
practical test vet made of its opera
ton. The burden of proof lies on
Mr.. Bryan to show that it is practical
and would be beneficial, aud though
MIR. BRYAN has been always prolific
OF financial theories and panaceas for
financial troubles. there is no good
reason why the public should give i'm
plich and unquestioning faith to his
Judgment The bankers and finan
ciers of Europe and America have
bee for many centuries busy with al
questions Of the kind and Dore of
them take kindly to the proposition.
Their Judgment is entitled TO unpre-
judicial consideration. but. OF course,
they are not infallible. II is a mat
ter that should be considered sober,y
and carefully. and II is to be regret
ted that II should be made a cam
paign issue. IL Is altogether farcical
and cannot be otherwise than pre-
judicial for grave financial questions
to be made the subject OF campaign
treatment.
Sips Of paper that bear some re-
semblance to bank notes are being
circulated by the Democratic cam
paign managers to create popular
sentiment on this issue. One side of
these slips Is said to represent money
guaranteed by al the banks in the
country which Mr. BRYAN proposes.
and the other money guaranteed by
''any Old bank which Mr.. TAFT pro-
poses. or course. this is mislead-
ing. AL national bank notes are
endorsed by the government aud
good without reference to the SOL
vency Of the bank OF issue. The
guarantee policy has reference TO the
security OF deposits. But the mere
trscious argument these slips OF paper
make is a fair sample Of campaign
methods. and show how ridiculous Il
Is to decide such questions by popu,a,
vote.
'Panics come from decline in the
va'ue Of Industrial securities prob
ably Oftener than amy other source.
Such a dcclane may come from vari-
GUS causes. The treat Of a European
war Is at present having such am
effect. The guarantee of bank de
posts could not relieve a situation
like that Il might, however, IN sons
instances prevent banks from failing,
AMI that would be a commemorate
feature II not Offset other more seri-
Gus considerations. In any light, II
is matter for grave thought by the
best financial intellect and not a
proper subject for political treatment
II Is, however. a matter that appeals
to the popular imagination and which
the politicians. therefore, like to
handle in their usual way, but Il
should be- reserved for thoughtful
consideration in congressional COM
mittees, and not pandered as vote
catching material on the hustings."

ESSENTIAL POINTS ABOUT THE
BOND ISSUE.

! bOND Issue.
There are essential points In this
school bond issue question that must
be kept in mind. First the interests
of the schools and the pupils, and
second that OF the taxpayers.
There Is no one. who believes that
any proposed school measures win
heap an excessive burden on any one
tax payer or group OF them. There
are some, who have a lingering sus-
picion that somehow the issuance of
school bonds will affect the city's
right to issue bonds at any time.
That is wrong. The school board is
a separate and independent corpora
tion from the city. and the law. which
limits the city to bonds, aggregating
a certain percent of the assessed val
uation OF taxable property. has moth
ing to do with school bonds. SO dis
miss these two considerations from
your mind. No tax payer will feel
any additional burden on account of
any proposed school outlay. and the
lcity's privilege of issuing bonds will
nOt Dc a tthA.
Padueah should have good schools:
because the quality of our citizenship
depends upon the way our citizens
are trained for the duties of citizen
ship. and particularly the laboring
men. members of the union. should
see that their boys are educated TO
carry on to perfection the work they
themselves have undertaken. Padu-
cah should have exceptionally good
schools, because she Is the metropolis
of a large territory with no big edu-
cational institutions in Il. and the
common schools are the foundation
of any sort of educational develop
ment.
The schools should be sanitary
above all else: because a ehild's
health is the first essential of well
being. That requires no argument.
An education that Injuries a child s
heath is wholly bad. The schools
must be properly equipped, and the
schools must be kept going.
Now, a former board spent more
money that II had right to in erect
ing two school buildings. The city
has the buildings and must pay for
them. The debt ON the buildings
created a big interest account, and
the creditors. OF course. had a right
to press their claims. The present
board was compelled to pay out reye
nue. on the debt, and then. rather
than see the schools closed the trus-
tees pledged their personal credit to
raise money at the bank. II has
taken 500 900 of the schools precious
revenue this year to meet the deficit
occasloned by the payments. The
board succeeded in borrowing from
a bank a sum to pay current expenses
for a few weeks. That sort OF thing.
OF course, can't continue indefinitely
and every loan adds to the interest
account.
The trustees declare that after pay
ing into the school fund this $4,000
they will use on.y so much of the
bond money as Is necessary to put
the schools in proper sanitary conii-
ton and equip them. The remainde>
OF the money will be available when
the time comes to erect more build
ings. The city needs more schoo.
buildings now to properly house the
pupils; but she has not the revenue
to maintain them. The next step
after the voting of the bonds will, be
to go before the legislature and Sc
cure more revenue for the schools.
That is the quest.ca up to the
voter,

Public attention has been much
.engrossed with sohoo, matters the
last few weeks. and the people have
come 10 the realization OF the truth
OF what The Sun has been saying for
two years. that the trouble with the
schools has been the school boards.
At present the city has a board that
in many respects Is exceptionally
good. President Bondurant. who Is a
candidate for reelection Ia the Sec
ond ward. and X. s Morris, OF the
Fifth ward, have with others pledged
their own credit more than once to
keep the schools going under the
blight Of former mismanagement OF
funds, and they have devoted good
business hours and sleeping hours to
solving the financial riddle. which Is
embarrassing the schools. They have
been through an experience that Is
valuable. suffering from the mistakes
OF others. and they are the better
equipped for the experience. as well
as deserving recognition.
The others on the ticket with them
are men OF the same calibre, having
been selected with especial care. In

IN the Third. Oscar d. Starks; in the
