THE address of Moses Hull, free lover and
Greenbacker, at Cornish on Saturday last
was little too rank for the soft money men
of that town, who are mostly decent, orderly
and cleanly American citizens despite their
financial delusions. The orator declared that
if the ballot box did not succeed this fall, the
cartridge box would follow, and much more
in the same vein. This was too much for his
law abiding and peace loving hearers, who
have no notion of giving aid and comfort to
communists and rioters. A profound disgust
settled upon the meeting, and the upshot will
be that Reed will receive many votes which
otherwise would have gone to help Anderson.

Women at the Head Of Educational
Matters.

Those 10 this vicinity who we're so
bitterly opposed to placing women in re-
sponsiale positions at the head of educa-
tional matters are requested to read the
following from the Davenport Democrat
concerning the very estimable lady who
has been superintendent of the Davenport
public schools for several years and has by
her ability. and real hard work, filled the
position more acceptably than any man
who ever held the position. The lady is a
sister of Mr.. Henry Sudlow. of Coal Val
ley. The Democrat says:
On yesterday, at Iowa City, the board
of regents of the university made very
important appointment. eleeting Miss
Phebe W Sudlow, of this city-at present
city superintendent of public schools. to
the position Of lady professor of the state
university and professor of English
language and literature, with the full pro-
fessional salary of $l,700. For years
there has been disposition on the part Of
the board of regents to appoint lady pro-
fessor to take charge Of the young lady
students there, but the matter did not
take form until this year, when it was de-
cided advisable to make such an appoint
ment. This settled, the next matter was
the selection of proper person to fill the
position. The choice of Presidents Slagle
and Pickard and of the regents very
promptly and unanimously fell upon Miss
Sudlow, and she was unanimously chosen.
Miss Sudlow was notified this morning OF
her appointment, but has not as yet signi-
fed her acceptance of the position; 10 fact
she has not yet fully made up her mind on
the subject, but will decide in day OF
two 1t is quite probable that she will
accept, however, in which case she will
resign the position of city superintendent
OF schools which she now holds, and will
remove from Davenport This will be a
matter to be regretted by all friends OF
education in Davenport, but yet all vii
rejoice that Miss Sudlow's talents receive
such worthy recognition.
