POLITICS IN THE SCHOOLS.

The long threatened educational BID,
the natural result of whose enactment
into a law is to drag the city schools
into the mire Of partisan politics. has
been at last presented.
1t is as long as the proverbial moral
law and contains material enough TO
engage the attention of a committee
for the next six weeks. but not quite
enough to conceal its most objection
able feature
The bill provides that school cleo
tions shall be held at the time of the
general elections. and that education
and partisanshiD shall be thoroughly
mixed henceforth in cities of the first
and second class
The evil which is bound to grow out
of such a system cannot be over
estimated. Ii will degrade the public
schools, contaminate the pupils, divide
the patrons and agitate the community
as nothing else could 1t can only re-
suit. as it did in San Francisco. in a
total decentralization Of the schools, and
the farming out of positions to ward
heelers and campaign contributors.
The bill provides, also, for the cleo
ton of the city superintendent on the
regular party tickets. He Will naturally
be selected with his popularity in view,
more than his fitness for the place. and
the main qualification, others not alto
gether ignored, of course, will be his
ability as a vote getter.
1t would be just as we'll for the bill
to go one step further and require the
nomination of all teachers, TO be voted
for in their respective districts as city
councilmen are elected in the several
! precincts.
The janitors may as we'll be included,
it will make it all the merrier; and.
| eventually, perhaps, the law may be
amended so that scholars are entitled
to attend only after submitting their
names in campaign to be voted upon
in the general election.
Then the partisan school system will
] be complete.

SHYsTERs AND cHAMPERTY.

Great license is taken by lawyers in
cross-examination, even in court,
where Indifference has bred the custom
This abuse has grown, like the prac-
tice of champerty With certain lawyers,
and the people have become SO thor
oughly accustomed to the explorations
of lawyers into the private lives and
affairs of men and women, under pre-
tence of ross-examination. that it is
only when the accustomed line is cross
ed that public sentiment is shocked.
There are so-called attorneys who
think nothing Of pryinS into the do
nestle habits and personal pleasures OF
men eminently more respectable than
themselves-at least they think no more
of it than they would of making a
champertous contract with a railroad
orphan.
Several states are making efforts to
rid themselves of shyster lawyers who
depend upon champerty practice or
shady clients for t.leir living. They
are the vultures of the profession, and
while some of them have Waxed
wealthy. they have degraded the pro-
fession until every case they touch
takes an odor of personal financial in
terest and smacks Of a contingent fee.
When lawyers become selfshly in
| terested where the interest should be
professional, it is not difficult to per-
ceive if one observes the conduct of
such attorney and his demeanor to-
wards the witnesses.
The experienced cross examiner never
shows personal feeling, never stoops to
petty insinuations. never shows that
he has a sore-head or a hungry purse.
He never forgets that he is an officer
of the court and an instrument of JUS
I tice rather than a weapon in the hands
of some vindictive client.
The shyster shows off to the extent
of his ability when courts are lenient,
or when they have no authority he is
absolutely compelled to respect; and
the ill-natured assaults he makes upon
witnesses and the scope he gives his
suspicious proclaim his professional
! character.
| In some states the bar associations
are trying to suppress the low-grade
| lawyer, in others the law makers are
paying him their respects, While the
whole matter is left to public SEN
| timent in others.

NEVER MIND THE CROAkERS.

Look over the country from sea to
sea, scan every state from Maine to
Washington, and from the Canada line
to the border of Mexico, and there isn't
a spot SO promising, so inviting, so
filled with attractions to outside CAPT
tai as is the region round the Great
Salt Lake.
To be sure there are some who would
brighten capital away and turn home
seekers aside. but their potency for evil
is in a state of natural decline. Yet
every community has its croakers-nen
who sit around and nurse sore-heads
and growl and grumble ali the day;
who think their neighbors are all
pledge-breakers and law-breakers, who
discredit the courts and predict evil for
the future, who raise threadbare bug
bears every time they see an immi-
grant approaching. But as every COM
munity has had experience with croak-
ers, their influence is waning, and Utah
may have a good year in spite of them.
AS a sanitarium, not only on account
of the excellent climate, but because
of the numerous mineral springs and
the wonderful dead sea, the section is
destined to become famous all over the
world.
As field for profitable investment
in mines, agricultural lands or irriga-
ton enterprises, Utah holds out induce
ments that shine through the dust that
the malcontents are kicking up.
Aside from its value rs a sanitary
point, aside from the indications of in
creased prosperity in almost every line
of business the cities of Utah are ideal
homes. The people are moral, orderly,
law-abiding and industrious as "a rule.
No one should take fright at the storm
stories OF the croakers.
