Mr.. FISHER LIKES
WAY THINGS LOOK
AT WASHINGTON

Postmaster and Mrs. f. M. Fisher
returned Sunday morning from their
eastern trip, on which they started in
time to witness the inauguration of
President Taft. During their Wash
ington stay they had the honor of en-
tertaining Postmaster General Frank
Hitchcock at dinner.
Mr.. Fisher returned well pleased
with Kentucky affairs as viewed from
Washington, and he is left practically
in control of western Kentucky. Es-
pecially gratifying are his pleasant
relations with Senator w. o. Bradley
with whom Mr.. Fisher Is on the best
Of terms. Senator Bradley and Mr..
Fisher have a thorough understand
ing and there is no inclination to
run rough shod over anybody in Ken
lucky. Senator Bradley has con-
WINGED all those, with whom he has
talked, that he is not seeking to dis
rupt Kentucky, but to harmonize all
elements of the party. He and Presi-
dent Taft are on excellent terms, and
there Will be no disposition on the
part of the national administration
to bear down on those, who opposed
Mr.. Taft before the nomination: al
though, Of course, the original Taft
men are not to be forgotten.

aEAIH. SELEClED:: "a "a
BY SCHOOL BOARD:
FOR HIGH SCHOOL
County Trustees Pass by Lone
Oak and Arcadia in
Choosing.
Fiscal Court Not Expected to
Stand for il.
WILL PROTECT COUNTY FUNDS

Heath, located on the Illinois Cen
trail twelve miles from Paducah, was
selected as the location for the first
county High school by the county
High school board late Saturday af-
ternoon. The selection of the location
will not be without its troubles.
Trustee w. r. Davis claims that he
has the advice of attorneys on the
law that the first county High school
must be located In the county seat.
although 1t need not be afiliated
with the city High school. This ques-
ton will be submitted to Attorney
General Breathitt for decision. An
other storm looms up on the horizon;
for II, is said that a majority OF the
members of the fiscal court is opposed
to the extra expense OF erecting
separate High school, and may not
allow the money. County Judge X.
T. Aghtfoot Is firm in his attitude
against the separate High school.
The board met Saturday afternoon
at the court house and listened to the
arguments made in favor of certain
locations for the school. Arcadia.
Lone Oak, Maxon Mills and Heath
made bids for the school and offered
bids. Heath made the point that It
was on the railroad, near the center
of the county, and offered free site
besides bonus OF $4,000. Arcadia
offered a free site and bonus of S2,-
600. Maxon Mills offered a free site,
while Lone Oak offered to sell the
college building with equipment for
|S2, 300.
After hearing the arguments the
board went into secret session, and
on the first vote Trustees Sexton and
Anderson voted for Heath, but on
later ballots Trustees Davis and Ghol-
son did likewise, making a majority
of the trustees. Trustees Bagwell
and Straub voted for Lone Oak.
Some humorous arguments were
made by the speakers. One speaker
for Lone Oak opposed the location Of
the school in Paducah because he OBJ
jected 20 linking the cream of the
county with the blue blood Of the
city" An advantage pointed out for
Lone Oak was that the town is with
out a railroad, and consequently free
from the "rumbling Of the cars. and
screeching of the whistle and the
noise and tumult necessary in run
ming trains
An objection TO Paducah was cited
by one speaker who declared that II
would be least expensive to send the
children to school in the county,
where there were not the temptations
to spend nickeds and dimes on shows
and places of amusement.
