WHAT THEY SAY
ABOUT PADUCAHANS
The Courier-Journal says:

| "Mr. Bryan and Senator Campbell
met after the speaking in the dining
room of the Capital hotel. Mr.. Bryan
walked over to where Senator Camp
bell was sitting and shook hands with
him. They talked for few minutes
and Mr. Bryan said that he was
anxious to know more about the con-
ditions which brought about the dead
lock and the conditions in Kentucky.
He asked Senator Campbell to write
to him and tell him what are the rea-
sons for not electng Beckham to the
senate. Senator Campbell promises
to write 20 him fully on the subject,
and Mr.. Bryan said that he would
reply.
The letter will not be written for
several days, however, as Senator
Campbell wants time to prepare the
letter carefully. Mr BRYAN said TO
Senator Campbell: Don't electra Re-
publican and Senator Campbell said
they did not intend to elect a Republi-
can.
. "Mr. Bryan came to Kentucky to
urge the election of Mr.. Beckham, II
was given out by Beckham followers,
but in the speech which he made he
dwelt almost entirely on the necessity
of sending Democrat to the senate
so that one more vote for needed
Legislation could be secured"
The Louisville Evening Post says:
| Representative Graves, of Padu-
cab, has been entertaining a number
of friends from his home city for a
few days. All of them are well known
Democrats, and they came to indorse
his stand on the senatorsMp. Among
those here were Magistrates C. W

GIRL ESCAPES JAIL FOR DEBT.
school Teacher Secures Temporary
Writ Of Habeas Corpus.

Champaign, H., Jan. 23.-Miss
Annie Kelly. young school teacher
of Tolono, was the happlest person in
Champaign county today when she
learned that Federal Judge Francis NJ.
Wright had issued temporary writ
of habeas corpus, which keeps her out
of the jail for the present.
Miss Kelly entered the bankruptcy
court to- escape judgment taken Joint

to the school law, leaves the qualifica
tions. the same as those for council.
man. Those qualifications, without
reason, prohibit some of the best men
from serving on school board. FoI
instance, officers of public service
corporations. operating under fran
chises. or members OF concerns having
contracts with the city, are ineligible
for councilmen and aldermen. Now
1t may be we cannot trust our fellow
men in matters involving adversely
their patriotism and public obligations
and their allegiance TO their clients
and stockholders; but the same rea'
soning does not apply to school
boards. We prohibit representatives
of public service corporations sitting
on board, but wink at the presence
of attorneys for book concerns.
The proposed qualification, eligibil-
ity for a teachers second class GER
tificate, will not hurt the schools, but
1t may hurt the chances of the other
amendments going through, and the
fact is, that all the troubles in Padu-
cabs school boards has been caused
by people capable of holding teach
eris second class certificates.

Hughes tacit entity into the presi-
Dental race makes the situation more
interesting, and the quiet strength OF
the masterful man of Albany will be
watched by the other aspirants. In
spite of the charge that Hughes is
backed by the Wall street crowd, that
hates Roosevelt and Roosevelt poll
cies, Hughes support in many quar-
tiers will be spontaneous and honest.
He will be satisfactory to those, who
admire Roosevelt's policies, but do
not like his academic discussion of
public questions and his method of
putting forward every issue on its
moral significance. Hughes does
things without talking; but we doubt,
whether Hughes could have been a
political possibility without the awak-
ening of the moral sense of the peo-
pie by Roosevelt and we are quite
sure the most implacable enemies of
are those spectators and
stock manipulators of New York,
whose emergency currency PROPOSE
ton. was denounced by the class OF
bankers, that represent the CONNER
cial and Industrial interests of the
country.

SCHOOL LAW AMENDMENTS.

NOlDluS Will accomplish more d.
one stroke for the Paducah public
school system than reducing the board
from an unwieldly body of factions
and cliques, representing sections OF
1.-The city, to body of FIVE men, chosen
from the city at large. II is almost
impossible for a large body to avoid
taking sides on personal and admin
istrative questions, and when men are
elected from wards, some, who seek
preferment from personal motives,
are apt to get on the tickets. When
a person has a project to get through,
he can see seven members, secure a
majority, and ignore the other five,
who are bound to resent it, Yet il
must be a nuisance, even for the SUI
peria4@ndent to have to see so many.
Most of the troubles of our school
boards in the past would have been

posed of fewer men. closer together

for taking this first step to secure
changes in the school system. Wis
dom is manifested in requiring nor.
NAL school certificates for teachers
and an increased school levy. II
would be folly to require teachers to
take normal course, and then pay
them salaries, OF which we ought to
be ashamed. 1t would be equally
foolish to increase the salaries OF
teachers, who do not take sufficient
interest in their calling to make it a
profession.
The foregoing amendments TO the
law are wise; but We cherish no de
1usions about the plan to require OF

Perhaps the most curious use to

it is made from a sombrero, the wide,

into which the bird is put, hole cut

called the national sport Of Mexico, but
cock fighting is much more universal,

Philadelphia & Reading in Coal Trust
Hearing.

Philadelphia. Oct. 2o-The hearing in
the suit instituted by the government
for the dissolution of the so.called Coal
Trust was resumed here yesterday be-
fore G. Fl. Gilbert as examiner. Will
liam r. Taylor, secretary Of the Phila-
dclphia & Reading railway company,
was the first witness. Questioned BY
James c. McReynolds, special assistant
United States attorney general Mr..
Taylor told of the relations existing be-
tween the Philadelphia & Reading rail-
way company and the Philadelphia &
Reading Coal & Iron and the Reading
company, the latter a holding concern.
Mr.. Taylor said the Coal & Iron com
pany had never paid dividend but
that the railway had in 1902 paid to
the holding company IS per cent for
two years, thereafter 20 per cent and
during the last two years 80 per cent a
year. The Coal & Iron company, be
said, is indebted to the railway com
pany to the extent of $4,000, 900 which
credit was inherited from the old
Reading company which was sold by
the sheriff in 1896. Mr.. Taylor denied
that the Reading railway company own
ed AIRY coal stock, but said the Read
ing company was interested in several
subsidiary companies.
