WORLDS GREATEST PORT.
London Wakes From Lethargy and
WIN Make improvements.

For 300 Sears London has been
the greatest port In the world. says
the New York World. The tonnage
entered there In 1907 was 1i,ieG,-
s67 tons. and S,5sS.s7s tons we're
cleared. total OF i9.75s,436 tons.
Liverpool entered and cleared L.
s05.sss tons. The trade OF the port
reaches tho vast sum OF s2.t3O. 000.-
900 New York's total In 1907 was
sf,709.1Gf.423.
But while London retains its SUI
premacy. the distance between Il and
It's foreign rivals Is diminishing. Even
among English ports. a more progress
siye policy has been followed BY Llv-
erpool. Southampton and Plymouth.
Liverpool has recently spent t25.-
100000 on her facilities. Plymouth
az, 100000 and Southampton no.
900 900. London's rivals on the con
'tinent have asso been active. Ham
burg has recently spent SIS, 900 900
on improvements. and contemplates
spending se.25O. 900 more. while
Antwerp proposes TO spend SIS !0oo.-
600 on docks and s22. 500 900 on a
canal. London. in recent years. has
spent almost nothing. while It's docks
andwharves are deteriqratlng. A
royal commission was appointed six
years ago. and still no imWovmeat
has been begun. The Btllonr gov
ernment pressed biIf nor Improve
ment. but u failed OF passage.
Profiting by the failure of the port
of London bill OF 1904, another Siil
was drawn up last year. and after
considerable amendment Il was
passed BY a non-party vote just be-
fore the holidays. This act sets up
a new, port authority. consisting OF
2s members. Is OF whom are 20 be
elected by the trading interests con
cerned. The port authority will have
power to authorize construction and
purchase ianl compulsory, with. OF
course. provisos limiting the area.
Previously to the passage OF the act
the process had been for the mort au-
thority to submit to extravagant de-
mands or go to the expense OF prl-
yate bill In parliament.
BY the new act difficulties I'm the
way OF Improving the port are
swept away and vast works now con-
templated will soon be begun. Lon
don may then be In a position 20
retain its lead. though the financial
difficulties in the way OF such ac-
ton are weIl-nigh insuperable.

INDEPENDENCE IN THE SENATE.
ITO see a Republican senator FIR
ing broadsides at the tariff bill pre-
pared by the leaders of his party is
rare sport for the Democrats" says
the Commercial-Appeal.
There II goes again. Partlsanshipi
Isn't 1t pleasant for the whole peo-
pie, regardless of political affiliations,
when a senator. has, the. courage to
stand by his convictions and princi-
piles and to call a spade a spade on
the floor OF the senate? We doubt
whether a newspaper like the CONNER
ciaLAppeal can appreciate the moral
fibre of Senator Dolliver. It can only
see the party advantage in a possible
'schism OF the majority Twice the
minority party In congress has had
the opportunity to make effective re
forms. and twice 1t has failed. 1t
could have carried through the
amendment of the house rules. 1t
could have secured a reduction of
the tariff; but most of its members
had an ak to grind, and 1t could not
caucus.
All the outspohen, consistent crit
icism of the tariff schedules has come
from western Republicans and they
are entitled to all the glory.

KENTUCKY AND THE WASHING
TON POST


The Washington Post publishes al
editorial review of the recent tariff
lspeech in the United States senate o
Mr.. w. o. Bradley and pronounces 4
to have been an excellent perform
ance. Accompanying the comment
upon Mr.. Bradley's speech is some
Interesting history of eminent men
that Kentucky has sent to Washing
ton and their views upon the tariff,
stories of Henry Clay and Humphrey
Marshall and John c. and w. c. p.
Breckinridge
Regular readers OF our Washington
Bamesake must be struck by the wide
information and accurate personal
knowledge of statesmen OF the last
two generations displayed By one of
the editorial writer's Of the Washing
ton Post, and doubly so must this be
the case with Kentuckians who see
that interesting newspaper. for the
statesmen of no commonwealth are
treated as kindly or find their great
deeds more fully exploited than those
from Kentucky.
The reason for this lies in the fact
that Mr.. Eugene Newman. whose
writings published under the non de
plume of "Savcyard" frequently APP
pear in the Evening Post and other
newspapers, is now one of the chief
editorial writer's on the Washington
Post. Those familiar with Mr.. New
mans attractive literary style can
find traces OF his handiwork in al
most every issue of that publication

will have the choice of letting the
county manufacture the blocks and
erect the school, OF of advertising for

County Judge Lightfoot notified
the board that he would turn over
to the school $500, which Is in the
seminary fund. II was the intention
of Judge Lightfoot TO lay aside
money for the erection OF new
court house, but the money will be
used for the schools. The citizens OF
Heath have subscribed nearly $4,000
for the building in addition to donat-
ing site. The collection of the sub
scriptions will begin July L.
Must Borrow Money.
The county schools will need
money to meet the expenses until the
money from the collection of taxes is
handed over. and for this purpose a
committee, consisting OF s. J. Bill
lington, county school superintend-
ent, w. +. Sexton. II. Anderson. and
F. F. Gholson. was appointed TO bor-
row money from bank. The COM
mittee will borrow $4,000 now to
meet expenses. and make arrange
ments to borrow $4,000 August 1.
It is thought the money can be Sc
cured at an interest rate of six per
cent.
In the number OF pupils in the
county schools there is a slight in
crease, according to the enumeration
of the county. This year there are
1922 white pupils while last year
there were 3,2s9, making an in
crease of three children. This year
there are 500 coiored pupils and last
year there were 5s7. making an in
crease OF 10 or total increase over
last year of 22, This is the first
year that the enumeration was taken
by districts. The report is: First

PLAYING WITH FIRE.

This is faithful saying and worthy
of all acceptation: ''Fools rush in
where angels fear to tread"
Our very highly esteemed contem-
porary, the News-Democrat, reminds
us remarkably of gentleman. who
has picked up a red hot coal and
can't drop it and wants that some
one would relieve him. Assuring the
News-Democrat of our profound sym
patty for any gentleman who picks
up a red hot coal we positively must
decline 10 take hold of 1t ourselves.
Having declared that e. Barry. the
county unit candidate for state 'sena-
tor, was defeated abecause The Sun
supported him. and abused us
roundly for quoting the editorials of
other Democratic papers in the sena-
torial district. reading il out of the
party, the News-Democrat now asks
where The Sun stands on the. prohibi-
tion question; says anyone, who re-
fuses to come out openly on the sub
ject lacks moral courage" and then
admits II does not know whore its
own candidate for STATE senator
stands on the question.
As for The Sun, let the News
Democrat grasp two essential features
of our general policy. We never cross
bridge until we come TO II. and we
never burn our bridges until we have
crossed them. All that we have said
In regard to the late senatorial con-
vention and the voNe of the News
Democrat and its cohorts in that con-
vention, has been said in the.interest
OF decency and American fair play:
