And what has been the keynote
through the three days OF meeting
the oneness of society We have
talked OF the city dweller and his de-
sire to escape from bricks and NOR
tar We have talked OF the farmer
and his need to reach his brethren
who work in the city to make money
to buy the farmers products. These
extremes meet in the Good-roads eff.
fort. We have talked of Good roads
and Education. Others have talked
at other places Of education as him
dered by bad roads. Railroads have
shown their dependence upon decent
highways. Land owners have spoken
Of land-poverty as affected by the
old-time absence OF well-maintained
roads. The Good Roads campaign is
therefore a great unifying influence
whose results show Immediately in

SUCCESS ATTENDS The VISITS OE FISHER
He Speaks on Health Conditions Here in Padncah

Judging from the number of peo-
pie calling on Fisher. the Quaker
Health Teacher, at w. b. McPher-
sons drug store, his visit here is
going to prove as successful as else
where. II is surprising what an in
tsnse interest this remarkable man
has created here in Paducah. Each
day seems TO bring more people to
see and hear him.
Last night he said: while II Is

f Mr.. Alben Barley, in HIS speech
last night, accused The Sun of not
giving him a square deal in its ac-
counts of his meetings with Mr.
Hazelip, and we wish to assure Mr..
Barley that we shall be pleased for
him, at any time, to point out in
what essentials we are unfair. We
have the highest esteem for him, as
a man, and We appreciate the ethics
of our profession too much not to
treat him fairly. In our accounts of
the speakings we are merely publish
ing what each candidate has to say,
as II is cur intention to let both OF
the candidates for county Judge lay
their case before the people and let
them decide which one they shall
call to serve them. As Mr.. Hazellp
remarked last night, Mr.. Barley s
speech was published in the Monday
issue of The Sun, while Mr.. Hazelip
has never beer so treated by the
morning paper, and we doubt IL he
ever will be.

A Little Journey Over the Hudson.
All the New York papers contain
enthusiastic descriptions of Wilbur
Wright's flight from Governors
Island to Grants tomb and back. II
is evident that the spectacle was a
thrilling one. The aeroplane, which
Is referred to as a beautiful silvery
bird, was under perfect control. IL
flew at times only a little above the
water, but for part of the course was
maintained at height of $50 feet.
The turn around the British warship
Drake was gracefully taken, the
straight flying was managed with alb
'solute precision There was another
beautiful turn at the. close and no
trouble at the landing, which was
made within fifty feet of the place
where the airship started. 1t is said
that those who witnessed start and
finish couldn't get their voices be-
cause Of a mild form of hyeteria.
Then after a short silence everybody
oheered madly.
Wright had flown above the water
distance as great as that across the
English channei. He had gone at an
average speed of 1855 miles per
hour up the river and at an average
speed OF 4S47 miles down the river.
The general average was equal to
that Of an express train. But the
wonder over the achievement was
little Influenced by the time record.
II the speed had been less the crowd
would have been no less affected by
the beauty of tn spectacle and the
convincing demonstration that TIE
air was really navigable. People who
had read about flying machines but
never seen them were deeply I'm

feelings by writing about the throb-
bling gull that seemed half flying.

The board OF health has handled the
threatened diphtheria epidemic splen-
didly. but now it should try to induce
the parents of those children who
have had the disease to use more dis
erection than some of them have
shown. 1t is reliably reported that
one of the children that had diph-
iberia, and was only discharged as
cured Tuesday, and the sign removed
from the house Thursday morning,
was attending the fair that afternoon.
This is not right, and some way of
handling such cases should be pro-
vided. The parents OF guardians of
the children should know that they
are jeopardlzlng the lives OF all the
children attending such places. but
if they have not enough oonsidera-
tiou for their fellowman than to do
so, they should be made to keep their
charges In for at least a week.

After the oil has been spread on
the streets ropes are stretched across
the corners to prevent vehicles from
driving over the preparation and
papers are hung over the ropes as
signals. At night the papers are
substituted with red lanterns. Last
night a negro returning home from
work on his bicycle and carrying a
basket of vegetables saw the light
on one side of the street and dis
mounted and passed. He got back
on his wheel and started off-but
he had failed to observe the rope
across the opposite side. Under a
good Roadway he ran smack into H.,
knocking off the lanterns and spill
ing himself and his basket. The at
mosphere was ripe with phrases not
taught at Sunday school for a short
time until the negro gathered him
self up and continued. with a
'smattering" of crude oil with him.
A spick and span young man was
hurrying along when he arrived at a
street just freshly coated with oil.
With no desire whatever to spoil his
feet he backed up a few PAGES and
prepared for a running leap across
the street As he sprung his foot
slipped and down headlong onto the
oiled surface did he go. IL is un-
necessary to describe his appearance
when he arose.
