Il
Democrat. and unless rumor falsifies lie
is also one of the kind who would have
objected to the appointment of a Rcpubli
can chairman OF the inaugural committee
four years ago. Partisan consistency and
political etiquette demanded an immediate
withdrawal of his name from connection
with that office when it was first pro-
posed, but instead of adopting that sensible
method of settling the controversy he
held frequent conferences with Commit
tceman Parker, and the appointment is
the result.
The imputation cast upon District Re-
publicans s that none of them are brany
enough TO manage an inaugural, con-
scquently the selection had to be made
from Democratic ranks. The ostensible
reason given for this extraordinary pro-
cceding is that Mr.. woodward contributed
$500 toward the Republican campaign
fund, and that Chairman Hanna desired to
reward this liberality and at the same
time recognize the sound money Demo-
cratic element that assisted in McKinley's
election. But why do it at the expense of
Republican District harmony? 1t is now
in order for Mr.. Woodward to decline the
nomination, provided the real estate ring
will give it's consent.

BOARD
OF TRADE
HIGH
SCHOOL

may not have been Intentional, but it is
none the less important, and somebody
should be held responsible for the neglect.
In response TO the proniptings of this
scholastic symposium the directors have
called meeting of the board of trade
for next Wednesday evening TO discuss the
necessity of industrial training in our
public schools" The topic is of great
import and concerns the general public,
but it belongs to educational circles and
not to an organization of business MEN
whose calling is to look after the material
interests of community.
Compare the Importance of this qucs-
tion with the request OF the Commissioners.
We have a school board whose duty it
is to look after the intellectual welfare
OF our children. There are also about
! 500 teachers connected with our pub
lie schools who are paid for acquiring and
enforcing the most desirable educational
systems. On the other hand the Com
practically powerlcss to rid the city of the
alley infamy, because the property occu-
pied by its criminal element is owned by
citizens of influence, some of whom are
members of the board of trade.
This alley property is a constant breeder
of crime. Its devious and darkened ways
are the haunts of burglars, thieves. and
thugs who infest our city. They can never
be eXterminatcd until the alleys are
straightentd and their abidi ne places
filled with sunlight. The influence of
the board of trade could induce Congress
to order this work done, but instead we
are to be diverted with didactical dis
sertation on industrial school training
by men better qualified to talk shop
Meantime we will have III urdcrS, robberes,
and criminals. Is it because influential
members OF the board OF trade own alley
property?
