ROW THEY TAKE IT.

1.-The triumph Of the Republican
party this year demonstrates all the
more clearly the need OF a strong
Democratic organization. The strong
err the Republican party, the more de-
termined should be Democracy. The
people OF the United States would be
entirely at the mercy of the Republi-
can party IL Democracy did not
exist. Louisville Times.
THE Democratic party, though de-
feated, is in a much stronger position
today than at any time since the vic
tory of 1892. The defeat of Mr..
Cleveland in 1883 was, all things con
more disastrous than that OF
Mr.. Bryan this year. The Democrats
have made more gains in this election
than in any election since 1884, ana
the Democracy is a more vigorous, a
more harmonious and a more effect
i've organization than 1t has been as
a minority party since the days OF
Tilden." Lexington Gazette.
This years defeat of the party Is
but a temporary halt in the Demo-
cratic march to national victory. The
principles OF Democracy must finally
prevail. The one important thing for
Democrats TO do. besides zealously
cherishing and maintaining these prin
eiples. Is to select for their leaders
only the strongest and worthiest; TO
discard demagogues and self-seekers.'

In order to win II, they must be able
to show the voters just how every
cent derived from the bonds can be
used to advantage.
Next in importance is securing
larger annual revenue fDr the schools.
They must go to the legislature for
that. and the other three cities of the
second class must be won over. IL
the legislature will increase the maxi
mum for school purposes to about so
cents on the 500. allowing the other
cities to maintain the levy at the
present figures, IL they desire, II win
be all Paducah demands. Then the
school board should be reduced from
twelve to FIVE men, elected from the
city at large, and the revenue, or a
certain specified portion, should be
held sacred by law for the teachers
pay.
In order to accomplish these ends
work must be commenced at once,
and an organization should be
formed. through which the city may
get in touch with the other three
cities and with the legislators. Too
frequently cities wait until the legis-
lature is in session, and conflicting
interests tie up the legislators, before
they press their claims.
Particularly the women should re-
main with this cause until the schools
win. The women are more insistent
in their advocacy of a cause. more
single minded in their devotion to a
purpose. than are men. and they have
a great work before them, which
pressed at this time while the public
attention of Paducah is riveted on the
schools. can be accomplished with
the least effort.

GOVERNOR WILSON'S POSITION

GOVERNOR WILSON'S POSITION
Parker carried Kentucky over
Roosevelt by 1883. Bryan carried
the state by approximately the same
plurality. There was a mighty effort
put forth by the night rider element
to run up big Democratic majority
in order to make the vote look like
an expression of hostility to Governor
Wilson. Kentucky is normally DEM
ocratic on national issues, breaking
over but the one time when the
Courier-Journal bolted. but the ma
jority is too small to be comfortable
in a state election when moral issues
are involved.
Governor Wilson made speeches in
the centers of the tobacco trouble.
Most of his time was devoted to dis
cussion of the local situation, and his
visits did good, In renewing assurance
10 the law and order element that
they have a governor. who will stand
by them. In this judicial district and
in Galloway county the effect OF his
speeches are evident In the result OF
the primaries. While the people ac-
corded him enthusiastic demonstra-
tions everywhere he spoke. they re-
fused to regard the hostility of the
night riders to the governor as rea-
son for changing their vote in the ma
tional election. and, too. Democratic
county primaries discounted the eff
forts of the law and order element in
the sections most affected by disorder.
At later elections. when the situa-
ton is not confused with national
issues. the full strength and direction
of the law and order movement will
become more manifest. In view Of
the threats of the night riders to re
Duke the governor, their failure to
make a showing against Taft greater
than that against such a strlkingly
popular man as President Roosevelt,
demonstrates to Governor Wilson
that his course has not been disap-
proved.

was sent to II. ID. Robertson, OF Den

Jackson.
This fact was learned in the city
last night from gentleman whose
home is at Denmark. He states that
Denmark is wild over the occurrence.
When the gentleman told of the mes
sage last evening 1t Travelled rapidly
over the city and many are speculat-

Jackson.
This message was written on ordi-

mailed and evidently written in this
city. Should there be an order OF
this kind in Jackson. no one has
learned of the fact
The occurrence is not treated as a
joke and Mr.. Robertson and his
friends are anxious over the outcome
1t was stated that the cause of the
letter being written to Mr.. Robertson
was that he strongly condemned the
robbing OF an old negro man in Den
mark several nights ago. The old
negro was met on the street by I'M
known parties, knocked down and
robbed. Mr.. Robertson, IL seems. con-
demned this lawlessness in no uncer-
tain terms. Some people in that town
think that the parties who robbed tbs
negro, are the authors of the note.

The wonder is how professional gam
hlers ever come under the spell Of betting
on elections. Cards they study diligently
Horses they follow all the year round
They keep informed about how the ami
mails winter; what their early work before
the season opens shows, and then when
racing begins they are on hand to note the
form, from day to day and from month tc
month, of the racers. They have some
thing to go on when. either at the card
table or on the race track they make their
bets.
But, as rule, they know nothing about
politics. Their newspaper reading is con-
fined to the sporting page and to the
stock and grain markets. They kno"
few public men even by name. and cam
not place the few they do know. Any
one Of a dozen prosperous bookmakers
Is a more important man in their eyes
than a cabinet officer, a senator or rep

or sufficient knowledge to make the nee

others.

The Stars Election Night Guests.

The Star was proud Of its friends last
night. They gathered in front of the
bulletin screens In numbers that passed
all expectations and broke all records.
They came early and they stayed late.
and for hours they stood In q solid mass
that completely s,led every available inch
of space from 10th street to 18th and
far down the transverse openings into the
avenue. They were content, too, to re-
main at their posts TO follow the story Of
the count. confident of receiving from
The Star the earliest possible reports
from the most trustworthy sources. They
needed no entertainment features beyond
the cartoons to hold their attention, for
they realised that every square foot Of
room within eye-range Of the screens was
at a premium.
The Star is especially proud Of the
character OF tho crowd assembled In front
screens were OF all classes and conditions.
but they were. with practically no excep-
tions, seriously interested in the news.
They cheered Justify as their favorites

There Is gratifying evidence tnat the
controversy between members OF the
school board and Of the board of District
Commissioners regarding the responsible
ity for unwholesome conditions In the
public schools Is subslding and that q
spirit OF cooperation has developed to
the end that such shortcomings as are
discovered may be quickly and quietly
corrected In the interest Of the safety and
welfare Of the school children and teach
ers. The board Of education yesterday
adopted a dignified position In support OF
its president in his communications with
the Engineer Commissioner. So far the
correspondence has led to no profitable
results. however, save perhaps to en-
phasize the necessity of a whoie-hearted
activity on the part Of both sides to rem
edy faults.
The people Of Washington take a mini
mum of interest in the sparring and side
stepping In the controversy regarding re-
sponsibility for defects in the schools and
their administration. They want real
faults corrected and the children safe
guarded. If dangerous conditions are
due to congressional parsimony that fact
should be made plain and a united effort
initiated to secure remedial legislation
from Congress. II there Is bad building
due to inefficient designing and inspec-
ton. of construction, steps should be taken
to correct the fault as regards both exist
ing structures and future additions to the
school outfit. II buildings are inefi1ciently
cared for, with janitor service that is
negligent, the remedy is surely within
easy reach. -r
Whatever the actual conditions and
whatever the cause. the District expects
and demands cooperation between the
officials to remedy any faults disclosed
by the forthcoming report of the inspect
ing commission. and the community Is
pleased with every Indication that this
harmonious and result-producing policy
will be followed.

The Next House.

All the returns indicate that the repub-

with a substantial majority. while 1t. OF
course, rstains control of the Senate.
Thus there will be no change in Legislative
policy during the next two years, and
with but a very few exceptions there will
be no changes in personnel. Here and
there familiar figure will be missed in
the House. and perhaps a few senators viii
be displaced by men of opposing political
faith. but In the main the Sixty-first
Congress will be no different from the
Sixtieth.
