PLAN FOR ELECTlNG COUNTY
SUPERINTENDENT.

Considerable discussion has been
going the rounds of the country
press of late relative to the method
of choosing the county superintend-
ent of schools. The editor of the
Mortified Independent, c. P. Car
penter, has brought out a plan out
lined in the following excerpt from q
recent editorial of his. He says:
"The election of superintendent of
schools is purely educational mat
ter; it is an Office for which women
are now permitted to vote, as for
other school offices. The holding of
an election for such an officer at the
time of the annual school meetings
would be particularly fit and appSo-
pirate. Each school district could
constitute an election precinct, the
trustees to act as judges and clerks
of election. At the time of the an
nual school meeting, those interested
in educational matters, would meet
and transact the usual business of
districts, then open the polls and
vote for superintendent of schools.
The law should provide for keeping
the polls open for a certain length of
time, and it could provide for sending
in the returns by registered mail, SO
as to make the election less expen-
sive. There being at that time 20
other matters before the people for
consideration except educational af-
fairs, the educational character and
Importance of the office would re-
ceive consideration. There being no
other county or state officers to be
chosen at the time, the professional
politicians would not care to enter in
to scramble for this Office alone,
and could not then make much use
of it for trading stock
We fail to see why the choice of a
county superintendent should be con,
Quoted in any radically different
manner than is the case with village
and city superintendent. The sup
ervision Of country schools should be
distinct profession, recognized as
such, and then the efficiency of the
schools would be greatly increased
But if the plan Of county school
board which we have advocated is too
radical, the plan proposed by the
editor of The Independent is very ac-
ceptable and worthy of all COM
mendation. Of course it is hard to
get the ear Of the people of the whole
state at the same time, as first this
and than that locality is favored with
a good superintendent or hindered
with poor one.

LET'S BE DECENT.

According to a we'll established
custom, the Republican State Ed
itorial Association recently sent out
circulars enclosing copy for
two columns of political Gossip"
the aim of which is to keep Repub-
lican doctrines before the people for
the next two years. AS it is the dis
tinct mission of The TRIBUNE to keep
Republican doctrines before the peo-
pie, we immediately fell to reading
the inclosure. Not unexpectedly we
found the different paragraphs to be
of all degrees of merit and lack of
merit, but it is of the latter especially
that we wish to speak.
In commenting on GoY.Lind's mes
sage, the paragrapher says
''These utterances of Gov. Lind in
his inaugural message do not go to
show that the Republicans have run
our institutions in the ground during
their forty years administration;
"'The educational interests of the
state have kept pace with the other
factors in their growth and develope-
ment in most gratifying degree, as
it appears by the report of the super
iltendent of public instruction, which
with the recommendations therein
contained, [ commend to your at
tention
"'Our university has continued to
prosper. All the colleges embraced
in it are making laudable progress in
the extent and mathods of their
work
The management of the state
prison shows most gratifying results.
Taking the message as a whole
it is an endorsement of Republican
government in this state"
Again the critic says
Anyone who compares Gov.
Lind's message with his Minneapolis
speech will be forcibly struck by the
difference between Mr.. Lind's pre-
election and post election utterances.
1t is evident that before election he
had not studied tie condition of our
state institutions and he supposed
there were many abuses. After
election he has look up the facts and
he finds no abuses"
TIE TRIBUNE is not an apologist
for Gov. Lind, nor do we believe in
compromising Republican principles
to the least degree. For that reason
We are decidedly opposed to using
our efforts to make rieuds for the
Democratic party, and nothing did
more toward that end than the atti-
tude OF the Republican press during
the last campaign. The people are
tired and Disguised with this barking
at the heels of Gov. Lind, and Re
publicanism is founded on too great
principles to permit it.
1t is lamentable fact that there is
not more independence manifested
by the country press. They are the
real formers of public opinion, and
yet they will often sell heir birth
right for couple of columns of ster-
reotype plate or ready made editor
ials. However, we have no desire to
put too dark shade on the picture,
but it might be better.

WASHINGTON LETTER. 4
eFrom the Tribune's Correspondent
q

The PRESIDENT AND AGoNCILLo.-
President Mckinley is no more in
clined to officially recognize Agui-
naldo's man, Agoncillo, now that he
claims to be Minister from the Philip
pine Republic, than when he came
to Washington as Aguinaldo's per-
sonal agent, Then the President
consented to receive him as anindivid-
ual, with the stipulation that nothing
of an official nature should occur at
the interview. That is further than
Agoncillo is likely to get this time.
This fellow, aided by the anti-expan
;ionists, in and out of Congress, is
largely responsible for the present
unsatisfactory condition of affairs in
the Philippines. He gave Aguinaldo
advance notice that the policy of this
government would be conciliatory
towards the insurgents, and told him
that the anti-expansion element in
this country was powerful, and that
if he would take a bold stand, it
would aid him in getting recognition
from this government The effect of
this information may be very disast-
rous to Aguinaldo and his followers, |
as it may cause orders to be sent to
Gen Otis to put them down by forci-
BILE, instead of persuasive means.
