A WOMAN AT THE HEAD.

A woman was elected president
of the National Educational associa.
ton. II was not merely chivalry
either, that prompted the heads OF
schools in the United States TO elect
Mrs. Ella Fiagg Young to that
office. She has already proven her
fitness for places of action and re-
sponStbility. The Chicago school
board elected her superintendent of
the public schools of that city a
year ago and she appears admirably
adapted to the work After all,
mere argument and theory and
sentiment, don't cut much figure in
the final solution of things. There
Is an ever operating law, which
brings cream to the top of the milk.
AMI the individual woman's place in
the social economy OF the civilized
world will be determined by factors,
other than disputation.

THE LEXINGTON EXPERIMENT,

THE LEXINGTON EXPER INTENT.
Lexington will vote on the COM
mission government next November,
and we have no doubt aspiring poll
ticians will work for 1t, as the Ken
lucky law will give four of them jobs
on the commission at $4,000 each
and another at $500. BY the next
session of the legislature, we hope,
the Kentucky Municipal league will
Lave prepared a sensible, economi-
cal and effective commission plan of
city government Then we will all
try 1t. The constitutional provision
that all cities of the second class
must have the same kind of govern
ment, may make it impossible for
Lexington to try the experiment.
We should hate TO see commission
government get a black eye in
Kentucky. because the legislature
didn't give us an intelligent law on
the subject.
