Peck's deskmate had accidentally dis

1ourished mushrooms enough to supply
the smart set for several weeks running
and the deskmate returned to the office
with a full bushel of the eatable toad
stools He remembered Peck when he
made the bargain and Peck was in on
the divvy made at the office.
That night Peck knocked off work and
started for home. The bundle of nlush-
rooms went with him. Peck felt 50 good
about the feed that was to be that he
stopped at the first drink emporium.
There he encountered a friend and the
friend had to hear all about the mush-
rooms.
Peck is now convinced that when this
particular friend of his reaches the old
age stage he will devote his remaining
hours to cheering up the invalid portion
of the world. Peck declares he can pic

the world appear bright to the sufferers

off in his prime by the same malady''
Peck showed this friend the mess of
mushrooms. The friend looked fright
ened. He poked the bundle up to his
nose and then dropping the package
made mad grab at Peck.

The expectation was general that Pres

ceptional in one or more respects. That
expectation has not been realized The
message is in a general way merely that
of a partisan national executive in close
touch with all the doctrines and policies
of his party associates 1t shows the
virility of the man in the strong, direct
and plain-spoken terms in which he con-
veys his views on subjects of prime ma
tional Importance. But save as to CON
siderations of literary style alone, it diff
fers in nowise from What the country
would have expected had President Nc
Kinley, not President Roosevelt, been its
author
There is no indication given by this
message that the president will be
found at any time acting in antagonism
toward the managers of his party in ma
toward the managers of his marty in ma
tional attitude toward the Philippines, he
is the president of his party, rather than
OF the entire country. His declaration
that we have gone too far, rather
civil rights to the natives of the islands,
will meet with the approval of his party,
and offers opportunity to the opposition
to successfully assail- the Republican po-
sition in that regard.
AS in the case Of our Philippine policy,
SO with reference to the proposed build

President Roosevelt shows his familiarity
with the stock party arguments, al
though in the latter case he is very
clearly fearful of going the full distance
which Senator Hanna and the other
champions of ship subsidies would natu-
rally desire him to go. By his abrupt dis
missal of the subject, after having stated

advocates, he makes it plain that he is

From the disinterested and non-parti-

commended in the message of the new

Peck was scared considerable He saw
where he and the rest of the Peck FAM
lily had almost furnished the coroner
with work and the morning papers with
a sensational story. He carried the
bundle to the street, and not anxious to
help anyone else over the great dark
river he kicked the bundle into "a man

4 sH4uErUL STATE or THINGS

4 SK4MEFUL STATE OF THINGS
The Glob does not undertake to
Judge between the local school admins
tration ana tie city comptrolier's Office
in the unfortunate situation ex-
listing between the two departments.
1t does not know where the right and
wrong of the matter is to be found; but
it shares the general conviction that it
is a shame and a gross wrong to the
teachers of the city that such state Of
things should be in existence.
The people of st. Paul have in the past
been treated to a good deal of the sort
of things to which it is now treated.
In the past the school teachers have
found but scant official consideration.
Their grievances finally reached such a
stage of development that many of the
best qualified Of the city staff of teach
ers could hardly be restrained from
throwing Up their positions, and some of
them went even to that length.
For the inability OF the city to pay the
teachers their dues next pay day some
official or officials are responsible. and
the responsibility is one which reflects
seriously on the someone's fitness for
the discharge of official duty. The city
comptroller says that the trouble is due
to the failure of the school board to live
within its income or at least to cut its
financial garment according to the cloth
at its disposal The school board has
not at this writing been heard from In
the premises. Whatever it may have to
say in it's own defense il certainly is a
dition should not be made known until
this time, when it is practically impos-
sible to apply remedy That 1t should
arise when the holiday season is so near
ly approaching involves in itself a griev-
Gus hardship.
The comptroller's statement in his OFF,
cial organ embodies the complaint that
the school officials are called on to make
a statement of the financial condition of
their department at the close Of each
fiscal year; while, he adds. We are now
near the end of this fiscal year without
the required report having been made
for the year that is past. The statement
en- its face is disingenous in the highest
degree
There is very distinct trace of the
politician in the interview given out on
this subject by Mr. McCardy. If he
withheld the knowledge of the situation
from the school authorities. as it is now
intimated he did. he should be made to
feel the scourse of public reprobation

school board went on making contracts
