There is in our school system in many

which naturally results in laxity of dis

subordination as in the above mentioned
instance. OF course no school can be
expected to accomplish much under such
circumstances This is one of the most
serious defects in our public school sys-
tenn large part of it, especially as far
as high schools are concerned, is due
merely to the absence of backbone on the
part of the school board and superinten-
dent. OF course, the state owes every
child common school education, and
for that reason the teachers in the
grades have to do the best they can with
boy even if he is inclined to be I'M
ruly. But a high school education is a
gratuitous gift, and the boy that has
not the common sense to avail himself
of it in the proper spirit, has no claim
to it. In order to protect itself, the state
must insist on securing a common school
education for all its citizens, but in re-
gard to high schools and colleges the
situation is entirely different In these
institutions, the boy that constitutes
himself a disturbing element and makes
himself guilty of characterization has no
further claim on the advantages there
offered. Let him be sent home to his
parents and if they have not influence
enough over him to make him come to
terms, let him stay there. If the school
board at Bowling Green, O., had acted
on this principle, the above mentioned
disturbances would not have occurred.
AS 1t was, they allowed the hoodlum ele-
ment to break up the school and do
great injury to those who were earnest
and well disposed. The responsibility
for this, rests with the board. They
| made themselves morally guilty of Grim
inal neglect. OF course, the reason for
this lamentable lack of backbone is
easily understood In small towns there
is no end of political strings on the
school beard. a boy may make himself

A SHABBY TRICK

In recent number of the Pioneer Press
there appeared a cock-and-bull story
about the revival of gambling in this
city. The article was in substance a
malicious but incoherent assault on the
adherents of Mr.. Michael in his candI-
dacy for city attorney, and was palpably
designed to strengthen Aid. Hunts
determination to continue in his present
attitude toward his party. The state
ments and intimations of the article
were resented by, Aid schifmann in a
communication which thoroughly re-
vcaled the falsehoods and meanness of
the transaction. Dr. schlffmann closed
his letter by asking that as much promi-
nenee might be given to his communica-
tion as had been given to the despicable
assault which had been made on him
and his Democratic associates in the
council exclusive of Hunt, but expressing
the conviction that his request would not
be granted.
DR.. sehlfmann was right in his predic-
ton. The same cowardly and unprin-
cipled spirit was revealed in the treat
ment Of DR. schirmann's communities
ton which had aroused his indignation.
His letter was hidden away in an OBJ

was addressed, and was made the sub

THE MUNICIPAL COURT.

The municipal court of this city has
been the object of a good deal of political
speculation and maneuvering of one de-
scription or another for some months
past The last tax levy included a sum
of money something over $4,000 for back
of the court which was not due at all,
but the necessity for which, so far as
we understand 1t, grew out Of the
tenacious hold, characteristic of local
Republican officeholders. which the for
mer bailiffs of that court displayed.
In addition to this, it is a matter of
common street talk that legislative
scheme has been in process of incubation
whereby the expense of this tribunal to
the community should be materially in
creased by the addition to the existing
active ward heelers'' whom our conten-
porary. the Pioneer Press, assumes the
local Democratic party to possess a
monopoly of.
The G l o b e does not pretend to under
stand just what the present status is of
the lobbying endeavors which have been
in progress in this direction, nor just
what the precise occasion for public out
lay in connection with this court will
be found to be when the legislature has
adjourned. Considering, however, the
| proverbial devotion to retrenchment and
reform of the local Republican states
man, as evinced, for instance, in the ad-
ditions just made by law to the pay of
our county commissioners, we are pre-
pared for anything whatever in that par
ticular direction.
But while our local reformers are
thus displaying their activity in this and
other directions it may not be anliss to
direct attention to some of the fig
ures which the last annual report of the
clerk of the municipal court embodied.
| Outside of the very dubious revenue re-
| ceived from disorderIy houses, which Is
| paid monthly into the municipal court.
| the entire receipts during the year were
| $1U.6S6 from the criminal side of the
| court. The civil side as a revenue pro-
| Queer is even less impressive The total
of revenues. received from this latter
source during the year was just Ss76,
making a total of some $11,5O0 AS
against this, the public pay the salaries
of two judges .$S,eO0, of a clerk and his
deputy, So, 700, stenographer S, 200 and two
bailiffs paid through the police fund,
$3.50, in all $14,5SO. This. of course, does
| dental expenditures.
The G o b e has no thought of urging
that the need or efficacy of a given court
is to be determined on the revenue which
it brings with it, even though it be only
a police court; or that the expense of
maintaining a given department offers
always a fair criterion as to the public
value of such a department. It's claim,
is. however, that it will be shocking
perversion Of legislation if there is any
further additions made to the existing
expense of this court to the public
The procedure of this court it is which
needs the attention of our law-makers,
if it is at all to be the object Of legisIa-

from the police court shall be made d.

OF the Pioneer Press throughout this en-
tire transaction. 1t would require many
hard words to properly characterize It,.

disreputable trick to promote the inter-

foul play in seeking to divert public at

Schiffmann's protest. s
The Globe congratulates DR.. Schif-
mann on having so effectually smoked
out the authors and abettors of the as
sault upon him and his party associates.
That insult was engaged in for the pur-
pose of preventing the displacement OF
the present corporation attorney.
Doubtless Aid Hunt feels his posi-
ton greatly strengthened by friendly CO.
operation of this character. He enjoys
the distinction of having the approval of
those who did in the past, and will in
the future. unless he completely turns
his political coat oppose whatever polit-
ical ambitions he' may have. he Is fur
Their distinguished by the disfavor of tho
entire political community through which
he holds his position in the council. He
is, for the present at least, 1.-THE only COM
petent judge of the wisdom and rightful-
ness of his present attitude But it will
come home to him one day that the
friendship which he now enjoys on the
part of those who wrote and published
the slanderous article to which his asso-
ciates have taken exception Is of the
vanishing kind. and that it will never
outlive his next appearance before the
public.
Whatever disposition there might be on
the part of Democrats to regard Corpora
ton Attorney Markham with an APP
proach to friendly interest or liberation
will certainly be brought to an abrupt
close by the resort which has been had
to such shabby tricks to enable him TO

OF ST. Paul have fairly indicated their
purpose he should relinquish.

the court and of the actual proceedings
carried on, especially on the criminal
side. are of such primitive and made
quate character as to involve In many
cases an actual defeat Of justice.
If we are not to be allowed to reform
the procedure of our municipal court, or
to lessen the burden which it represents
to the tax-paying community, let us at
least be saved the necessity of further
contributing to the maintenance of what
is now something very like judicial
luxury.

recently adopted a new code of ethics
declaring that it is legitimate for lawyers
to advertise. Why not? Yet there is a
bill before the Connecticut legislature to
regulate dentistry, in. accordance with
the wishes of the state dental associa-
ton. The bill provides, among other
things, that for .unprofessional conduct
the license of the officials may be taken
away. And u11professional conduct is de-
fined in the code of ethics of associa-
ton, which is not part of the bill. but
is made operative This superb code de-
clares that it is unprofessional to adver-
tise So any dentist who advertises after
the passage of the bill can be prevented
from practice.

GRAIN TRADE REVIEW.
Bradstreet's Comparative Summary
of Wheat and Corn EXPORTS.


NEW YORK, March 15.-Bradstreet's
tomorrow will say: The government re-
port of wheat in farmers hands, point-
ing to 10000 bushels less than held year
ago, was regarded as a bullish feature,
and, coupled with light Northwestern re-
ceipts, caused a rise which was, how
ever. taken advantage of to realize and
the net change for the week is slight.
Corn was bullishly inclined early; in SYM
pathy with wheat but weakened and lost
most OF the advance. Wheat, including
flour, shipments for the week, aggregate
4693, $50 bushels. against 4, 22s ,52S bushels
last week, 2,727 $50 bu in the corresponding
week of 1900, Ala, 046 bushels in 1893 and
$685. 56 bushels in 1898. From July to
date this season wheat exports were 49,
30. 456 bushels, against, IA, 316 SO6 bushels
las! last season, and 177,22S,741 bushels in
Corn exports for the week aggregate
246,575 bushels, against 1856, 1877 bushels
last week, 3.729.2 91 bushels in this week a
year ago, Az, 1926 bushels in 1899. and
