CURRENT EVENTS.
ELIOT's RESIGNATION

The announcement of the resigna-
ton of President Eliot after nearly
forty years of service at the head
or Harvard has been the educational
sensation of recent days.
The death of Daniel Colt Gilman a
short time ago furnished occasion
for notice of the tremendous strides
made by university education in thu
United States since he undertook the
work of the first presidency of Johns
Hopkins
The withdrawal of President Eliot
carries with 1t the review of sur
pris!ng changes made in one institu-
tlon-and that the Oldest in America
under the remarkable administra-
tive skill OF an individual even more
notable than DIR. Gilman.
Each was pioneer in his chosen
field. DR.. Gilman helped to estab-
lish the university idea as it Ia,

other countries on the continent.

INTERURBAN.

Those Paducah citizens, who have
visited cities, which are the centers
of interurban traction lines, need no
reminder of the value Of these lines,
If they made any Inquiries, both to
the cities and TO the country through
which they pass. An interurban
traction line draws trade from a ter
ritory SIX miles around II and con-
venges that trade into the nearest and
most accessible city. 1t draws the
members of community closer to-
gether. and gives the rural population
the better part of that development,
which comes from frequent commun-
ication and association together. Com
ing more frequently to the city, they
get better acquainted with the needs
of the city population and with the
methods of handling their crops to
the best advantage. The result Is
that the country around the city soon
produces crops that pay best, handles
them in the way to make the most of
them, and produces those things.
which the city people want.
That means more money in the
community, 1t means higher priced
land. and the improved means of
communication make more market
able land. All that adds to the i'm
portance and value of the city, as
much as the Improvement of city
property does, and inevitably will i'm
prove the value of city property
More money in the community neces-
sarily increases the buying capacity
OF the surrounding population and in
creases the population. and since the
Traction lines make the stores more
easily accessible to the rurali popula-
ton, they multiply the possible pat
ronage Of the stores.
As the city grows in response 10
the impetus thus given. and more
traction lines are built TO accommo-
date the increasing demands. business
will keep along with it. and all the
other advantages OF city life.
These are results that are always

In some respects Governor Patter-

Reelfoot lake murder happened just
in time to afford him the opportunity
on the eve OF the election to make a
grandstand play and lead the people
of the state to forget his brutal neg

Carmack by the political associate of
the governor taken place on the eve

Soon the air was disturbed with all
of the old time songs. and all was
serene until somebody suggested that

appropriate. All agreed. and the
first liue was sung. pause and
