DANCING AND GIVING.

'Ths kind of hypocrisy that parades and
advertises it's own pleasure and says it is for
the benefit of Those who have no pleasure, is
particularly Objectionable to me,'' said Dr..
Emil g. Hirsch in criticism of the recent char
ityy ball.
Dr. Hirsch is great Jewish rabbi and
scholar of Chicago, and we endorse every word
he utters on the subject; for herein is neither
exaggeration nor mistake of terms.
=. In the first place, as DIR. Hirsch points out,
there is too much waste. That ball in Chicago,
to which he REFERS cost a million dollars in
round numbers Say 100000 of it found its
way to charity. 1t cost million to get hun
dred thousand for charity, ten to one. 1t is said
luxury is economical because it gives employ
ment to others; but even that suggestion suf-
fers under analysis.
DIR. Hirsch analyses the motives of those who
attend the ''charity ball'', and finds that there
is a certain Glass, who avail themselves of this
unusual privilege of meeting in a social way,
those whom they consider their superiors, while
in return it affords the assumed superiors the
enjoyment of being treated like royalty once a
year That, of course, is bargain with ample
consideration passing on both Sides and DR..
Hirsch discreetly considers it the affair of those
who participate; but he does object to the mix
ing of the name of charity in the function, as
an excuse to mask the real purpose
Continuing he says: "The Jews of this city
gave up charity balls some years ago. When
we dance, We dance; and when we give, we
give"
A truth could not be more succinctly stated
than that is. "When we dance, we dance and
when We give, we give" 1t is traditional DR..
Hrsch can point to the history of his own peo-
pie for examples Of true giving in the spirit of
self-denial. When they furnished the temple,
they did not open bazaar and invite the peo-
pile around them to buy unnecessary articles
at exorbitant prices. They stripped themselves
of their ornaments and Jewels and by the sacri-
flee made themselves part of the gift.
There is good common, rational sense and
dash of moral philosophy in DIR. Hrsch's sug-
gestion: "When you dance, dance; and when
you give, give"

petition, 100 names being necessary to the peti-
ton to place name on the ballot. A fine of
$500 is provided for an election officer, who
tells a voter the politics of a candidate. The
positions of the names on the ballot are selected
by lot, and rotated every hundredth ballot in
printing. Thus the danger of politics and evil
influence in securing nominations is elimin-
ated, and hundred good citizens may put
their candidate before the people, regardless of
the will of politicians. That method of nomin-
ating candidates for all offices soon will be
adopted, and it will break the backbone of poll
teal rings.
The secretary and business director takes on
additional dignity and responsibility, having
the selection of all employees with the approval
of the board in his power. Paducah, which has
had an experience in wasteful extravaganza and
characterization produced by bad and incompe-
tent school trustees, and has seen first class
board struggle under the handicap of an in
herited deficit to make good and maintain the
standard of the school system, can appreciate
the fact that first class trustees are necessary
to good schools.
The superintendent must have the intelligent
backing of the board in order to get the best
out of the schools, and the economical expendi-
ture of the limited school revenue, has much to
do with the efficiency and progress of the
schools
We heartily endorse every feature of the
Second class charter, so far as it has come to
our attention. The reduced school board is
something for which The Evening Sun has long
camored.
Fortunately, we have q state senator who is
interested i'll these questions, and we are conf
dent Senator Eaton will, not only approach the
subject intelligently, but conscientiously and
act on thorough comprehension of it.

that will be presented before the general as

tain an element of political Vaccination, par
