SIR. LAMB AND THE Circular.

Mr.. Lambs letter is a complete in
dorsement OF the Titus circular and all
IL contains. He repeats and reafiirms
its charges. and stands ready To stand
or fall by its vicious, extrayagant and
unwaFranted statement and impudent
and immoderate Misrepresentation
The Post-Intelligencer cannot refrain
from expressing its regret that Mr.
Lamb has assumed this attitude. II is
charitable to suppose that the pressure
behind him was more than he could
resist, and that Reputation OF the cir
cular meant withdrawal OF that pOr-
ton of his support which has so Of
fensiyely showed itself into public
view. and has. by making IL a cam
paign OF abuse and personalities, APP
parently wrecked his prospect of cleo
ton.
Mr.. Lamb announces that he has
satisfied himself OF the truth OF The
charges in the circular. But be takes
great pains TO make no attempt 70
satisfy the public. Tho Post-lntelh-
geaeer does not feel called upon to de-
fend Superintendent Barnard. and 1t
does not pretend TO know all the causes
and influences leading to the nomina-
ton OF Mr. Bowden. That body Of
teachers principals-urged him 60
stand for the dictatorship may be true
enough: but that IL was an improper
and uniustihabla proceeding for in
structors-citizens who have at heart
the welfare OF the Schools--to ask
gentleman qualified by character. ex-
perience and attainments to become a
candidate. IS at least open to dispute
IL is shameful that their action and
their avowed interest in Mr.. Bowdens
success should subject them to the
severe ceusure expressed in the mean
and audacious Titus circular.
Mr.. Lamb shoulders the responsible
fly for this circular lie fathers the
attacks apon Mr.. Bowden. the super
intendent and the teachers. He is evil
IDENTIFY prepared 10 abide by the conse-
Quenees.

Two distinct questions are TO be set
tied by the qualified voters today.
They are % filling the impending va
eaney in the board OF school directors:
and l2) the adoption or rejection of
free text books. Mr.. Lamb has de-
clared himself unqualiaediy in favor
of the proposition. and Mr.. Bowden
has not made public his personal atti-
make his views known. They do not
enter into the question of his qualifi-
cations as director. The people. aud
not the directors, are to determine
whether or not free text books shall
be adopted. II they declare in the
affirmative, the board of directors will
have no option but to take measures
looking toward making effective the
expression of their will. There is not
the faintest reason to suppose that the
entire board will not, in this respect,
do its duty, and its whole duty,
promptly, willingly and thoroughly.
Further TO emphasize his position.
Mr.. Bowden some days since stated in
the Post-Intelligeneer that the deci-
sion of the voters he would regard as
final. This declaration was superfu-
Gus. No one has doubted that he
would.
The Post-IntelIigencer has no infor-
nation as 10 whether Mr.. Bowden ia
vors the retention Of Superintendent
Barnard. The question as to whether
the superintendent has or has not been
unduly active in Mr.. Bowden's behalf
does not materially affect the merits
Of his candidacy, and will not be dis
cussed. Nor does IL think that the at
titude OF either candidate on the
money question is proper to canvass
in this connection. But it has discov-
cred behind Mr.. Lamb interests and
elements that do not represent the
best and highest sentiment of this
community, and it is forced to regard
his candidacy as on an exact plane
with the character of his support. Ii
is not be supposed that, as director. he
would be able TO defy the influences
that surround and guide him as candi-
date. The Post-Intelligencer thinks
the time has not yet come when the
people Of Seattle are ready to place
the public schools in their hands.

II has been urged against Mr.. Bowden's
election that he has the support OF Supt.
Barnard, and practically every teacher in
the Seattle schools. The Post-Intelligencer
does not know IL this declaration is true.
But IL does know that the confidence. re-
spect and Endorsement Of all the teachers
is a high and convincing testimonial Of
any candidates fitness. and If Mr.. Bow
den possesses IL, he Is the man to elect
school director. In any event, Il Is known
that his character is excellent, and his
business integrity and capacity are not
to be questioned. He has promised that
he viii bring to the school dictatorship all
his known industry and capabilities, and
il Is assured that. IL elected. he viii rem
der the district conscientious and efficient
service.

The howl OF ring In the school election
is absurd. II is raised to divert public at
tention from the real issue. and to damage
candidate. The real ring is among the sup
porters of Mr.. Lamb. The proof and the
fruit OF their conspiracy is the Titus cir
cuIar. The petty politicians, the self
seekers, and the noisy denagogic element
are all arrayed behind Mr.. Lamb. They
could not conceal their identity IL they
tried. Their present purposes are obscure,
but their methods are perfectly familiar
to the public, which has learned, with
sound reason. to distrust any cause they
advocate.
