Halsey being a new and untried man
was employed at $1,000 with the un-
derstanding (not Officially that If he
proved the right man the salary
would be increased. MIR. Robbins
says furthermore that Mr. Halsey has
a letter from Mrs. Hamilton ex-
pressing admiration for his work and
promising him an increase in his
salary the coming year.
MIR. Robbins denies the charges of
his carrying communications directed
to the board or of threatening mem
bers in open session as to their vote
on the SUPPLEMENTARY. With refer
ence to the resolutions adopted by the
teachers, Mr.. Robbins says he gave
them to q higher authority than the
bcard-the public-as he was author
lied by the teachers to do. Replying

OF the superintendent. Mr.. Robbins
says Mr.. Ament asked him to read
some personal letters. which he de-
clined to do. II have investigated
this man." says the president. "until
| am nauseated. l don't want any
more"
CMr. Robbins, with reference to the
charge that he had threatened
to strike member of the
board says that he was ex-
asperated beyond endurance and
for a brief instant lost his selt-con-
troll. but that no one prevented his
using the uplifted chair, as he re-
covered his composure and apollo
gized at once. Mr.. Kinyou had
called him liar. and after he eau
toned himSto be careful, the insult
was repeated, when Mr.. Robbins says
he threatened to strike him. He was
sorry, OF course, but there is q limit
to human endurance.
In conclusion he says he is but the
Representative Of the people and he
is striving to serve their will-that
he has no personal ends to serve.

A Remarkable Cure.

Mrs. II. B. Adams, 1909 Wabash
avenue, Chicago. SAYS: 81 had a
scrofulous faint of the blood from
childhood. which, however, remained
dormant. An ulcer,began on the side
OF the nose, having all the appear
ances OF most malignant cancer.
The agony of mind ! suffered cannot
be described as l contemplated the
progress of such a malignant dis
ease. Finally l was induced to try
Foley's Sarsaparilla. 1t appeared to
neutralize the poison in the blood.
The growth OF the ulcer ceased. The
diseased tissues in the bottom and
edges OF the sore seemed to loosen
and the natural flesh to take its place.
No part of the disease remains. ~

THE ISSUE FAIR AND SQUARE.

The School Election and the Candidacy of
Marshall and Donaldson.
In view of the action of the board
OF education Saturday evening the is
sue involved can now only be taken
before the people. who at tho June
election must decide upon it. 1t is
simply Ament or anti-Ament, and it
is in response to the sentiment, that
for the best interests of the schools
change in the superintendency is
desirable, that Messrs. Marshall and
Donaldson have consented to stand
for election. 1t is because the posi-
ton OF both these gentlemen is
known. that both are fully in accord
with the existing opinion that they
have been prevailed upon to become
candidates, and it is on this account
that THE ARGUS, knowing the views
of both, has placed their names a. the
head Of its editorial columns and
most cheerfully gives its support to
the ticket on the only issue involved.
The good of the schools is involved;
the very life Of the school system is
at stake. 1t is with the firm convic-
ton that the school government as
at present controlled must be over
thrown and the present superinten-
dent removed. believing in the
righteousness of the teachers course
and devoted above all to the highest
welfare of the schools, that THE AR.
GUS knowing that Messrs. Marshall
and Donaldson represent these same
views, has subscribed itself to the
support of their candidacy. The is
sue is too vital to consider the aims
and ambitions of any one man or
any other theory. The point is shall
MIR. Ament be retained. THE ARGUS
is for Messrs. Marshall and Donald
son because they believe that he
should not.

q. H. Wreford, who brought
ler on her long and tortnous
voyage from Detroit to New
Orleans, and Captain Brown.
who brought her to Galveston,
by way of Lake Erie, the Mis-
sissippi river and the Gulf of
Mexico. The object of the visit
Of the Argo is one of vast i'm
portance to the commercial in
ferests of Galveston. Mr..
Springer has brought Der here
for the purpose of making an
inspection trip along the coast
nf Texas to the Mexican line
The Texas coast is separated
from the Gulf of Mexico by a
series of long islands. one place
about midway between Calves
ION and Brownsville being an
exception. AT this place the
mainland and the waters of the
gulf meet for a distance Of over
thirty miles. This is the only
place We're the mainland is not
separated from the gulf waters
by islands, behind which are
shallow bays. With a canal
through this strip of land safe
navigation by shallow boats
could be made from Galveston
TO Brownsville, and it is to
look into such a project as this
that Mr.. Springer proposes to
make the trip along the coast. |
He will navigate the bays as
much as possible for the double
purpose of being protected from
storms and gaining desired III
formation concerning the feast
bility Of navigation. The Argo
draws about as much as would |
the steamer which the Gulf
Coast canal and navigation
company propose TO put into
this service. IF the pEaject
makes a favorable impression
npon Mr. Springer he will prob
ably invest in it and devote
much time and energy to its
development.
"Its development" is term
intended to convey a wider
meaning than the mere opening
of canal and running of steam
ers, which probably would, IN
der present conditions, be a |
losing venture. 1t means the
development of the country, |
the colonization of it by live,
educated, energetic farmers,

would be run along the gulf
shore for some time to come.
