an educational system that, IL lived
up to. will lift Kentucky from the
very foot OF the List OF states in the
matter of illiteracy and insure to her.
for all future time, an educated citi-
Izenship.
The school bill recently passed bu
the house was so amended as to de-
stroy the usefulness of the Sullivan
school law and to make educational
progress an impossibility. In its pres
ent form, it represents, not the hest
thought of men and women sincerely
and singly devoted to the education
of Kentucky's children. but the local
prejudice and individual and aggre-
gate ignorance of more than a score
OF men who make no pretense of hav-
ing studied the educational systems
|of Kentucky or any other state.
If this bill passes the senate, the
Democratic general assembly of 1910
will rightly be held responsible for
having inflicted on the state the most
serious injury that II was within its
power to infiict.-Louisville Times.

question Of better schools, better
roads, better tax system, a better
system OF municipal government the
question of raising revenue and wip-
ing out a floating debt. Theoretical
ly these men are selected TO repre-
sent the citizens Of the state In con-
sidering these questions and solving
them by proper legislation. They
have done absolutely nothing toward
solving them, nor pretended TO, and
all the local legislation of any value
has been proposed and advanced by
city officials sent up TO Frankfort to
coax the legislative bosses into ac-
quiescence.
Can anyone honestly deny that
Kentucky would be better of finan-
ciaAy, and every other way, II MIC
Cracken county wasn't represented
in the legislature? A dozen honest,
intelligent men could go to Frank
fort and in half the time this legisla-
ture has been in session, enact laws
that would put Kentucky to the fore
front in every desirable respect
among the states Of the union.

A GOOD INVESTMENT.

Good attendance at the meeting at
the Woman's club Monday night
when the association for the study
and prevention of tuberculosis will be
organized, will make certain a sue
cessful fight against the spread of
the disease In this community. The
promoters of the plan to establish a
tent colony on Jackson hill are great
ly encouraged by the offer of tents
by citizens and organizations, and
feel assured that, when the plans are
fully understood a sufficient number
to accommodate all desiring to take
treatment will be contributed. II
is the intention OF the health depart
ment to perfect all sanitary arrange
ments at the camp and provide for
the comfort of the colony in every
way. This will be done as far as
possible with public funds, allowing
the subscriptions 10 be used In pro-
viding tents. McCracken county
would do well to join with the city in
this work. IL is TO the interest of
all that the ravages OF the white
plague be stayed. We are all exposed
to the contagion, as long as present
conditions exist, and in a public en-
terprise of this character wherein
every penny is certain to be properly
expended in a good cause, the county
can well afford to invest all it can
spare.

THE PUBLIC FORUM.
sssssssssssss,
Rose for Governor.

James A Rose, secretary Of state,
has been mentioned as a likely can
didate for governor of Illinois in
1912. This much would be counted
on, Mr.. Rose, unlike Charles S. De
neen, does not despise Egypt" the
land both of them first saw the light
of day in. Charles S. drifted into
Chicago and forgot phe land OF his
fathers, and this may account for his
treatment a few days ago OF dele
cation of southern Illinois miners.
But James A Rose has never forgot
ten or ever refused a favor TO the
people down state whenever IL was
in his power 10 accommodate them.
There is every reason TO believe that
Secretary Rose would make as eff
cient governor as he has for years
a secretary of state, and as governor
we believe that he would be as great
a success as Deneen has a failure

Halley's comet may now be seen
on nights when conditions are favor
able, with the aid of an ordinary field
glass, according to members of the
astronomical faculty at Columbia
University The most favorable time
TO look for IL Is between 6: 80 and
1880 p. m, with the glass elevated
somewhat above the point where the
sun sets. The comet Is at present
in what the astronomers call the
twilight region. II is in line with
the sun and its brightness is there
fore dimmed. 1t will be visible all
through April and May. but at its
maximum brilliancy on May 18th.

NEWS.

"All things are lawful, but all
things are not expedient" sums up
newspaper ethics, regarding what is
printable and what is not. Like
every other axiom. this lies within
the bounds of legitimate news, and
excludes the mistatement of facts
The publication of facts, which do
not appeal to the majority of read
ers is an incident of the business;
because the markets, the sporting
news, the religious news, the polit-
ical news, and the society news
each interests a certain circle of
readers. whose tastes must be con-
suited. But the publication of facts,
which are repugnant and displeasing
to a large majority of readers, is
matter of judgment and carries it's
own punishment.
When a person says or does a
thing, which makes news of interest
to the general public, his desires in
the case are out of the question. The
public wishes to know, II has a right
to know and there remains for the
editor only to consider. whether his
part Of the reading public cares for
that sort of thing. how much of 1t is
desired, and the manner of serving
il. There Is a certain class of pub
lications, which caters to the prurient
portion of the public. The
case in Kansas City and a
ot. L.. n
afford them salacious details for the
enjoyment OF such as care for that
sort of reading. Now, legitimately,
those affairs do not deserve con-
spicuous places In the days news,
excepting as criminal reports, the
high standing of the participants
adding to the value OF the stories.
do not pretend to pub
lish news for its moral value, any
more than a grocery pretends' to sell
food for the purpose of building up
the body. Each fills a want; but the
grocer, who sells pure food stuffs.
and the newspaper that discriminates
between what is news of public i'm
portance, how much of the details is
news, and how much Just a tawdry
description Of bestial depravity, are
sure to find their way into the most
homes.
Those papers which devote their
columns to details. The Evening Sun
would consider unprintable. probably
find a following, and as long as they
cultivate a reputation for publish
ing that sort of thing, we have no
word of condemnation; but IL they
prate about their morality and re-
finement and then send such nasty
stories into decent homes, they are
sanding the sugar and retribution
will overtake them in the end.

BETTER NO REPRESENTATION.

So far the score shows the defeat
OF the school law, the road law. the
county unit bin, tax reform, financial
relief measures, the redistricting
bill, uniform accounting, and COM
mission government; the enactment
OF the Louisville ripper bill, extra
pay for extra help, Confederate PEN
sions, Columbus Day. and innumer-
able acts OF special legislation. Some
of those mentioned as having passed
are good; but 1t is noticeable that
every one of them appeals to a GER
tain class of voters. Everyone of
those mentioned as defeated is a pub
lic measure, in which all citizens are
interested. Some of them we're bad:
but were ostenably intended 10 rem
edy some existing defect in our state
policy. Consequently, it T. not fair
to say any one of them merited de.
feat; they merited amendment, and
IL our senators and representative:

cation Of budding statesmanship
they would have devoted more tins
TO improving those measures
and passing them. To say that tn.

CAIRO OUT
FANS ARE EAGER AND MONEY Is
PLENTIFUL.
But No One Seems Ready To Assume
Leadership OF baseball
Club.

Failure of Cairo to enter the pro.
posed reorganization of the Kitty
league is wondered at. Paducah and
Cairo have been rivals in baseball
but the Cairo fans, last night at the
mass meeting, failed to agree upon
the organization of a team.
A large number of fans were pres
ent and enthusiasm was at the high
est pitch. but not one citizen offered
to take the lead in the organization,
or the club would have been formed.
II Is not a question of support from
the fans. OF a difficulty in raising
the money necessary to start the
club, but the lack of a leader and a
park.
Messrs. II. b. Sewall, Harry Kelley
and Gus Thompson attended the
meeting in Cairo last night. They
were treated to a hearty reception.
and were surprised at the amount OF
interest among the fans. with nobody
TO assume charge. Sites for a park
have been inspected. and the propo-
sition to establish a club talked
thoroughly, but nothing else has
been done.
With Cairo out of line the organ
ization of the league becomes a
doubtful proposition. 1t would
leave a bad jump. and besides Cairo
has been one of the best baseball
cities in southern Illinois. What
