p-artisnnism In the School Board.

To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal:
Mr.. Charles Martindale. in his address
before the High School alumni, Friday
night, seems to have forgotten that he as
sisted in making the School Board partisan
from top to bottom. but now he has a
monkey and a parrot story for the High
School alumni, and has 1t patented in the
Evening Reformer as a new departure. Mr.
Martindale is a mugwump Of the late va
riety and affiliated with the majority in
the School Board who made Ii partisan Tor
the first time. Now Mr.. Martindale has
removed the scales from his
eyes and finds there is a majority on the
other side of the house that want bossism
stamped out, and our School Board con-
Quoted on business principles that viii
benefit the taxpayers and the citizens in
general. Many who voted for Mr.. NJ. did
so under conditions, but since he has vio-
lated the conditions he will be retired
when his term is out, and he will soon be
forgotten, as he is not in sympathy or ac-
cord with our citizens. Let the school
board elect a new set of officers and see
that the school fund in the hands of the
treasurer is placed where it will draw
interest. Clean out this old bossism and
give us a clean board in the management
of our schools. and we will see a change
for the better.

Il HiidOcipHld INcCOiO.
A novel scheme TO insure men against
want when out of employment has been
put into successful operation in SwitZer-
land. Monthly dues amounting to s cents
are paid into a FUND by the subscribers
while employed, and the fund is augment
ed by a small contribution from the munic-
ipality and by charitable subscriptions.
The affairs of the trust are administered
by a committee consisting of workingmen,
employers and representatives of the city
government. When out of work each sub
scriber receives from 20 10 30 cents per
day-about equal in purchasing power to
81 in this. country. Persons who willfully
leave their work are not entitled to relief.
Employment bureaus are provided, where
the subscribers can report and make them
selves comfortable when out of work. The
plan is worthy of careful study, and a
similar method of relief might be adopted
in our large cities with great advantage.
The scheme has none of the Objectionable
socialistic features which attach TO move
ments that involve State help. and Ii does
not clash with the spirit Of self-reliance
which should inspire all citizens of a
democracy.

An exchange, in booming a resort. says
that there is just as good fishing as ever.
even If so many are not caught, as the
fishing will do the fisherman just as much
good whether he catches fish or not; in
fact, the fewer fish caught the better the
odor of the clothes and the condition OF
the hands. And yet this philosophy will
not satisfy the person with a patent fish,
ing rod. a rafting reel and a card of bril-
LIANT artificial flies.

The Coupon is exercised in its feelings
lest the Republican members of the School
Board should introduce politics into its sf-
fairs. There is not a Republican member
of the board who either has or will do
anything of the kind. AS a matter of fact,
politics never figured in the School Board
until Mr.. John p. Frenzel put it there,
and politics has never been employed by a
candidate for school commissioner except by
Mr.. Frenzel in his own district. The Coupon
either knows this to be the case or il has
failed to make even the most superficial
inquiry as to the facts. The board win be
reorganlzed without regard to politics. and
the Coupon will find it a difficult matter
to help any particular member of the
board out of the hole of Frenzelism by
raising the cry of ~partisanship.

Certain newspaper writer's are repeating
again with an air of oracular wisdom the
assertion that no mTn has ever gone di-
rectIy from the United States Senate to the
White House. Inasmuch as General Gar
field was a member of the Senate when
nominated for the presidency. though he
had not yet taken his seat. and as General
Harrison had but just completed a sena-
toriai term before his first presidential
nomination. it seems about time that the
disposition to regard the senat as a fatal
barrier to the higher ONCE should die a
natural death.

COLUMBUS. Ind, June 1S.-Angry Dem
ocrats in this stronghold can't get over
the fact that the city was carried by the
Republicans at the recent city election.
A few weeks ago they caused the arrest
of Benjamin kirkpatrick. a colored man,
on the charge of illegal voting. He was
acquitted. and they then caused his re-
arrest on the ground of attempting to
vote Illegally by offering to cast his vote
in the precinct in which he labcred, in
stead of the ope in which he resided. On
this charge he was also acquitted. They
then caused his arrest on the charge of
approaching nearer than fifty feet TO a
voting precinct, something that fully one
half of the voters in the city did. To
this he pleaded guilty and was fined. Fol-
lowing this came a suit this afternoon
which charges three prominent Republic
ans with having purchased the vote of
William Hobson 70 81. The Australian
ballot law gives TO the voter who has
been approached by a person who offers
TO buy him the right to recover of such
person the sum of $500. with attorneys
fees. There is no evidence against the ac-
cused whatever, and a large per cent. of

Perhaps a little too much is being said
in local circles about the power OF, money
in helping men to escape from the conse-
quences of their guilt. People who make
such criticisms forget that they nave
often complained OF the ease with which
murderers and others get new trials. or
escape punishment altogether. No criticism
OF legal proceedings is so common as this.
and yet as a class murderers nave little
or no money wherewith to defend them
selves. Witness the Eyster case. The two
men charged with the killing of Eyster
were idle, worthless negroes, with few
friends, many enemies and no money.
Popular opinion was against them, yet
they secured a new trial and by it a
greatly modified sentence. Such cases are
not infrequent, but they are apt to be
forgotten when a rich man is a bene-
ficiary of the laws delays and loopholes.
Legal justice may not be absolutely i'm
partial, but the wavering is not always
in the direction OF wealth.
