POT AND KETTLE

Frenehmen found themselves freed

Napoleon. only to discover that they
were in the iron grip of an absolute
despot. They had changed masters
but had not lost their condition of
servitude.
In the swelling agitation against
industrial monopolies. the American
people are likely TO experience some
thing similar to the Frenchmen. We
will be freed from the grip OF so
called capitalist monopolies, but we
should take care that we are not lef'
in the mercy of other monopolies
which differ from the one displaced
only in form. What the Americad
people want, is industrial independ'
ence. II is not sufficient that our
present real or imaginary Industrial
oppressors be overthrow; ii is es-
sential that no other oppressors.' IN

Organizations devoted to the re-

They must be contant in establishing
a square deal for all industrial fac
tors, and no more allow the cards to

other player.

What makes a city beautiful is 2
question that involves as much the
history of the city as of civic develop
ment, and the clean swept, broad ave-
nues and ornate buildings of the lake
towns represent an era of develop
ment of a date later than that of
grimy Ohio river cities. with their
narrow crooked business streets. In
the same way the uplands of the lat
ter cities with curving boulevards and
intermediate Improvements represent
cycles OF growth. corresponding in de-
gree with the ancient and modern
quarters of oriental towns.
In Buffalo and Cleveland municipal
governments and citizens have striven
to one end-to make the city beauti-
full. Their skyscrapers and business
blocks. their banks and hotels have
been constructed with an eye to the
esthetic as well as the practical.
Every triangle in a park with a mon
ument. Wherever three or more
streets meet a shaft or fountain is
found. Delightful parks and boule-
wards are seen as elsewhere; but in
the residence sections surprising lawns
abound with a disregard of real estate
values that makes the stranger won
der whether they are all so wealthy
as TO care nothing for expense, or
whether the cities have grown up
around estates, which cost the owners
little originally, and which they pre-
fer to retain intact rather than to
sacrifice the luxury of room for the
convenience OF ready money. These
home have distinguished the two
cities. and made them much talked
about. Their appearance and the
pleasure of living in such communi-
ties have been factors in the growth
of the lake towns.
Cities like Paducah, with her pros.
pect of improved transportation facili-
ties, that probably will see their best
growth in the next decade, would
do well to copy the spirit of these
lake cities. 1t was much discussed

NEIGHRORLLNESS

That trip proposed by the CONNER
cial club to Cairo to cement the
bonds of friendship between the two
cities. is a praiseworthy undertaking.
With the completion of the interur-
ban to Cairo, the distance that sep
arates Paducah and that city will be
annihilated and citizens in each place
will have frequent and speedy COM
munication with one another.
There is every reason why the two
cities should pull together in the up
building of this section of the coun-
try. When the river Improvements
begin, il will be to both Paducah' s
and Cairo's interest to work harmon
iously for the interests of the lower
Ohio. And any other project that af-
fects the welfare OF the one, will in a
larger view, affect the welfare OF
the other, so that all efforts made TO
cultivate cordial good feeling, between
Paducah and Cairo. are forward
steps in the right direction.

MUTES NO MORE.

A new York contemporary tells OF
an impressive scene at the graduating
ceremonies of the Institution for I'M
proved instruction of Deaf-mutes. 1t
showed the advancement recently
made in rendering the speeches. no
longer mute and in educating the
deaf as they have not been commonly
educated before. AS an example,
two essays were read by young girls
10 whom the recognition of all sound
is denied, and who but year ago
would have been designated as
mutes. These children, then, are
mutes no more. With an articula-
ton which is described as being ian
improvement on much of that of chill
dren in whom the sense of hearing is
acute and to whom so careful
training in speech is not given,
these young girls conveyed the words
of their essays intelligibly to the
audience. It was a great achieve
ment for the instructors IN the new
methods of scientific education of the
deaf-mute: 1t was the conquest OF
the impossible. From this time for
ward the progress in the work should
be swift, general and substantial.
But that was not all. mo less
gratifying and satisfactory" says the
Brooklyn Eagle, was the demon
straton OF Zip reading. The prin-
cipal of the school, in awarding the
diplomas. made an oral address to
the pupils, who watched his lips most
,intently, and with no failure to un-
derstand. This is another great adj
vance as the years grow. Certainly,
these are great gains. The time will
come when the terms mute and
dumb will drop out of use as APP
piled to those who have been denied
the sense of hearing. No worthier
charity can exist than that which
will bring those so afflicted into free
communication with their fellow
beings. With the rest of humankind
they will become self-supporting and
contributors to the material progress
OF their countries"
The present generation has seen
wonders performed that were scarce
" less than miracles. They seem t.
be performing miracles with the
deaf-mutes.
