THE MISSING WORD AND THE
MISSING SKINNER.

The postal authorities have recently in
terfered with the vocation of citizen who
bears the somewhat suggestive name of
Skinner He was not doing business under
his own name, but had divided and hidden
his personality in numerous firms and COR
porations. In Augusta, Me-, he was the
Sawyer Publishing Company, in New York
city he did business under the firm name
of Hartz & Gray in WATERFOWL, Mass, he
was the American National Company and
the American Nation, and so on. In his
various capacities Skinner was the recipient
of 1900 letters day, each of which con-
tanned % cents. In thirty days he received
10000 letters, which contained Sl125OO.
There are many sharpers of the Skinner
variety, and they will make money as long
as there are tens and hundreds of thou
sands of persons who will be duped by any
scheme which promises them a great deal
for very Tide money. The Skinner fraud
should not 1--we found dupe. but his ad-
vertisements found him thousands. He in
serted in several papers an advertisement
Of what is known as the missing word
puzzle. 1t was to the effect that any one
who would supply the missing word in a
sentence given in the advertisement within
thirty days would receive 800 TO pay

LOYALTY OF OUR FOREIGN-BORN
CITIZENS.

A person signing himself "Ex-attache''
raises question as to what foreign-born
American citizens would do in the event of
a war between the United States and their
native country. Looking at the matter from
European point of view "Ex-attache"
concludes that most of them would SYM
pathize with the mother country and many
Of them would return and enlist under the
old flag. The Journal believes he is greatly
mistaken in his point of view, and that
his conclusion does foreign-born American
citizens the greatest possible injustice.
There is nothing whatever to. justify such a
conclusion-nothing in history, in the past
acts of our foreign-born citizens or in their
daily conduct and expressions. The only
ground on which such conclusion can rest
is the stubborn claim of some European
governments "once a citizen always cit-
zen" and that a man of European birth
can never escape the obligation of allegiance
to the mother country. This claim is not
recognized by the United States. Under
our Constitution laws and practice for
eigner legally naturalized is to all intents
and purposes as full an American citizen
as one native born, enjoying The same
privileges, owing the same allegiance and
entitled to the same protection. The ac-
ceptance of the new allegiance implies
abandonment of the old. 1t took long
time for the United States to secure general
recognition of this principle, but it is now
embodied in our treaties with most Eu-
ropean governments.
What has been said relates to the legal
claim of a foreign government in case of
war with the United States to the service
of naturalized American citizens born
abroad. A question might still arise whether
such citizens would voluntarily side with
the mother country. The suggestion is pre-
posterous, and to seriously entertain it
would be insulting to every foreign-born
citizen. Native-born Americans are not a
whit more loyal to the flag than are those
of foreign birth. In the event of a foreign
war; no matter with what country, foreign
born American citizens of all nationaIities
would rally around the flag in defense of
their adopted country. OF all our foreign
born citizens the most devoted to the father
land are the Germans, yet even in war
with Germany they would side with the
United States and furnish as many soldiers
as any equal number of native-born Ameri-
cans. If the test ever comes it will be found
that naturalized American citizens are as
loyal to the government as those of native
birth

SCHOOL sUpERIyTENDENcy.

Progressive New Workers are rejoicing
over the election of a new superintendent
of public schools who will, they hope. i'm
prove the schools of that city until their
standard no longer falls below that of other
cities of the country. New York schools
have been hampered by political control
and the continual supervision of a man who
was not in touch with modern educational
IDEAS, and who was, also, according to all
accounts. lacking in executive ability. In
feriority of the schools was necessary
consequence, and this jnferiority became SO
notorious that even the politicians, who for
private reasons opposed a change, were
forced to consent to one. The new superin-
tendent, Mr.. William H. Maxwell, has been
in charge of the Brooklyn schools for ten
years, and the appointment is in the nature
of civil-service promotion, since he must
be more or less familiar with the conditions
and the needs of the New York schools
The Importance of a. wise choice in making
such appointment is hardly to be exag-
gerated. No matter how well qualified the
teachers and principals may be, there must
be mind in control qualified to guide them
all; there must be system and head with
authority to carry out the system in detail,
and ability to plan for its Improvement
In a city like Indianapolis, for instance, it
is no small matter to master the details and
intricacies of the VSorlS. n superintendent
indeed is hardly at his best and fully quail
flied to carry out his plans and introduce
new ideas until he has had control for at
least one term. If from that time forward
the complicated system is in, good working
order and the teachers iaboring in harmony
with him he may be said to be a success
If he is also fully awake to all new educa-
tional methods and ideas and ready to put
them to use, he is a man who fulfills all re-
quirements and should not be spared. 1t is
the understanding that teachers in the In
dianapolis schools may hold their positions
as long as they are qualified to teach, the
annual reelection being a mere form. The
interests of the schools and the usefulness
of the superintendent would be greatly en-
HANGED if he were given the same assur-
ance. The Journal has no information as to
what the action of the School Board will be
at the approaching election, but it believes
that any change in the SUPPLEMENTARY will
not be wise.

postage. etc, rs cents must be inclosed. The
advertisement further stated that in the
event that more than one person guessed
at the right word. the 500 would be di-
vided among taem IN edual parts. AS few
persons could fail to supply the missing
word, the 500 would have been divided
among thousands
Mr.. Skinner did not reap full harvest,
as, before the thirty. days. limit had been
reached, the postal detectives learned of his
scheme and put an end to it at period in
his game when he was receiving. 5000 let
tiers day, containing $50 Of course, Mr..
Skinner was at some expense, as he must
have had an agent in each of the places
mentioned. and others to take his letters
from the postofioe The postoffice. au-
thorities interfered, but if they had found
Mr.. Skinner he would have been able to
escape on the ground that he was dividing
the 800 among one or two hundred thou
sand dupes according to the terms of his
advertised proposal
1t VIII be said that none but the most
gullible could be swindled by such trans
parent fraud, but when one recalls the gold
brick, the counterfeit greenback, the lot
terry, the benefit and life insurance swindles
and the multitudes of their victims, even
after the fraud had been exposed. he should
not single out Mr. SINNERS dupes for ridi-
Guile. The gold-brick swindle has been adj
vertised for years, yet it finds stupid vic
TINS every week in men who have accumu-
lated property. The cheap Skinner fraud
was not so preposterous, as that which
Dean & Co. and others worked on hundreds
of seemingly wide-awake people in this To-
cality, and whom they would swindle
again with some scheme equally as fan
tastic and preposterous Hundreds of thou
sands of really intelligent people are now
being duped by the 16-to-1 fake. The truth
is, most of US, and the seemingly brightest,
seem to have been born to be duped by
small minority who have discovered at an
early day in their existence that the com
mon weakness of humanity is a proneness
to be duped. ,txsa,
