WELL RECOMMEND

: Professor Frank B. Cooper of Des
Moines has been chosen superintendent
of the public schools of Salt Lake City.
The final ballot was taken lass even
ing, resulting in six votes for and four
against the Iowa man.
The Herald had hoped that the board
would be able to see its way clear to
choose local man for the position, and
SO expressed itself upon more than one
occasion. Other things being equal,
this would have been the proper thing
to do.
But we feel confident that the board
has carefully considered the matter,
keeping the welfare of the schools con-
stantly in mind. The selection of a
school superintendent or teacher should
not be influenced by personal, political
or religious considerations. His line of
work and sphere OF usefulness takes
him outside of partisan and sectarian
work. and the fact that he is a stranger
TO members of the board proves that
the choice was not based on personal
friendship.
Professor Cooper comes highly rec
commended by the people of Des Moines,
where he now holds a. similar position.
Iowa newspapers refuse to credit the
report that he is to sever his connec-
ton with the schools of their capital
city, as there is the greatest harmony
between TIE members OF the board and
Professor Cooper, and the superintend-
ent is as well pleased with the schools
of Des Moines as are the patrons of the
schools with Mr.. Cooper"
The News of Des Moines interviewei
members of the board of education, and
they furnished this statement: There
viii be an effort to retain Mr.. Cooper.
We need him in the work here in Des
Noines, and cannot afford to make any
change at present. He has placed the
schools upon a high plane of excel
Ience second to none in the west"
1t is pleasing TO know that his work
is so well thought of where it is so. we'll
known, and to his credit that the peo-
pie among whom he has labored are
10th to part with him. This is. one of
the very best credentials any man can
bear. Such expressions of confidence
and perfect satisfaction, after service
of nine years in one superintendency,
are worth more than a trunkful of di-
plomas and teachers certificates.

The Uitlanders are not contented.
They have appealed to Queen Victoria
for protection in the Transvaal. She
has received a petition bearing 2l,OOO
signatures, asking for protection for
the subjects of Great Britain. The re-
forms promised by President Kruger
have not been extended to the political
status and property rights of these
British denizens in the Boer republic.
The hostility of the Beers is shown in
every relation with their neighbors, the
Uitlanders, and has threatened serious
trouble more than once. The general
impression is that the Beers, while
honest, industrious and thrifty, are
queer people, out of touch with modern
civilization and progress. Such people
may exist in isolated places, but not
beside the railroads or under the cleo
trio light of social and commercial
progress

FORCE AS A MISSIONARY.

The New York World sees in the re-
cent proclamation of the Philippine
commission what it calls "a melancholy
proof of the demoralizing effect Of
presidential favor and public honors
upon men even OF high character and
matured convictions
President Schurman of this commits
sion was very much opposed to the
retention of these islands last summer,
and so expressed himself even after
hostilities with Spain had ceased.
He was so anxious to convince his
fellow citizens of the correctness of his
conclusions that he wrote forcibly in
letter printed in the World:
To the Editor of The World:
Though Manila has fallen, the Philip
pines with several million of barbarouS IN
habitants still belong to Spain. With
Spain they should remain.
This republic. whose soul is Self-goV-
eminent, does not want Asiatic Dependent
cies or the military despotism they would
entail. The proximity of Cuba made its
misgovernment our affair; But we are
not called upon to rectify the tyrannies of
Africa or Asia Nor are We under any
obligation to Aguinaldo and the inSurg-
ents. Let US keep to our own hemisphere,
seeking only naval stations in the Old
JACOB GOULD sCHURNIAN.
Pine Hill, n. Y, Aug. 81.
The proclamation to the Filipinos
just issued above the signature of this
eminent educator and diplomat insists
upon American sovereignty and Philip
pine subsection, and Furthermore de-
clares that the supremacy of the
United States must and will be en-
forced throughout every part of the ar
chipelago, and those who resist it can
accomplish no end other than their own
ruin
But men are not Influenced altogether
by presidential favor, as the World in
Inmates. 1t may be the influence of the
presidents example that moves them.
In his inaugural address Mr.. Nc
Kinley said: I'VE want no wars of
conquest"
Last December in his message to con-
gress, Mr.. Mckinley said:
"Of the untried measures there re-
main only recognition of the insurgents
as belligerents, recognition of the indie
pendence of Cuba, neutral Intervention
to end the war by imposing a rational
compromise between the contestants,
and intervention in favor of one or the
other party. I speak not of forcible
annexation, for that cannot be thought
of. That, by our code of morality.
would be criminal aggression"
When presidents are vacillating, coy,
uncertain, hard to please, and void of
mind and purpose how can more be ex-
pected of appointees whom they APP
point to carry out their plans?
