SUGGESTIONS
FROM OTHERS
VERNON SHOULD APPOINT
SCHOOL COMMISSIONER
ATLANTA. ca. juno !!

ATLANTA, Ca. June 9, 1902.
To the Editor of The Journal:
The recent election by primary ballot,
which has displaced Mr.. Glenn as commits
sioner OF education, is so great a surprise
to me and to thousands of others that 1
am led to call in question the need for
continuance of the present method. 1t
does not seem wise policy for US to sub
ject the incumbent to a scramble every
two years in order that he may retain his
office. when he is called upon to give much
of his time to personal interests which
must be done to the detriment of public
affairs.
Now that Mr.. Glenn is no longer a
candidate it may be we'll to suggest that
a return to the custom of making this an
Appointive office would be WELL also that
the term should be for four years. Unless
this be done many cultivated. sensitive
persons will refuse to enter the list after
having witnessed the treatment to which
the defeated candidate has been subjected,
and we shall be compelled to put up with
inferior material. Few men qualified to
properly fill the place would care to en-
gage in wordy warfare to enable them to
retain a place which involves so much of
care and responsibility, besides the salary
will 40 little more than pay the cost of
these frequent campaigns of election.
Bearing in mind my obligation as one
who has voted in the primary, 1 refrain
from citicism Of men or methods, praying
only that from such trial 1 may be deliv-
cred. Truly, we are near the period when
the post of honor is the private station"
I congratulate DR.. Glenn upon his long
and useful career. and regret the neces-
sity which deprives the state of his valua-
BILE services. No matter how able may be
his successor, the educational work Of the
state has received a check from which 1t
will not soon recover.

more difficult than II would otherwise be.
The Philippine commission favors the
purchase Of the church lands, but It is
feared that such an extortionate price will
be put upon them that it may be difficult
to reach an agreement on this PROPOSE
ton.
Even II the title OF the church property
m the Philippines should be acquired by
our government the political status Of the
friars would still be a knotty problem.
The church view OF the matter is ably
presented by the American Catholic
Quarterly Review. which claims that for
various reasons the friars and church or
ders are entitled to liberal consideration
by our government. It is claimed that
whatever degree of civilization the Fill
pinos possess is due directly to the efforts
and influence of the Catholic church. 1t
has no less than seven millions adherents
in the islands. and more than seven
hundred native priests.
The Catholic Quarterly Review says:
1.-The expulsion of the Spanish friars
means that five millions of Filipino Cath
olics must be left without priests, sacra-
ments, or religious instruction for at
least generation. as there are no other
priests save the zoo natives. either Ameri-
can or European. familiar with Filipino
language or customs"
Archbishop Chappelle declares that the
native opposition to the friars is an "ar-
tificial propaganda of radical minority"
Pope Leo has proved himself one Of the
wisest statesmen of his time. and there
is every reason to expect that our gov
eminent and the Vatican will reach some
friendly agreement on the pending ques-

RERuKlNe ROOSEVELT.

We have read in northern newspapers
and from many prominent northern men
severe criticisms of President Roosevelt's
display of narrow sectionalism in his Dec
grafton day speech. There are many per-
sons in the north who love the union and
glory in the valor of the men who fought
for 1t, but are not willing to be judged by
the presidents standard of patriotism in
this day and generation.
We have seen no better rebuke Of the
president for his unfortunate utterances
at Arlington than we find in a leading edi-
torial of the Portland Oregonian, one of
the most notable newspapers on the Pa
cific coast.
From IT we quote these noble words:
1.-THE time is past with thoughtful men
when on Memorial day we think only of
the Union dead in the restricted sense
which refers only to those who fell in de-
Tense of the stag and stripes. In the en-
larged field of historical vision that has at
last come into our possession, we cannot
help thinking of the dead of both sides;
the illustrious obscure who by thousands
on both sides fought with equal tenacity
and equal Valor. Thoughtful men have
learned long ago to abstain from bitter
undiscriminating denunclation of the great
civic and military leaders of the Southern
COuIeueTaCy. we kAOW To-Day IndL HOlu-
ing but the news OF peace prevented New
England from secession in 1914. We know
that Lee and Longstreet and Joe Johnston
bore arms against the Union not because
they were secessionists, but because blood
was thicker than water. They could not
fire upon their domestic affairs, upon their
neighbours cornfields and their kinsmen.
We know that Lee as strongly disapproved
of slavery as did Washington; we know
that the north was equally RESPONSIBLE
with the south for the planting of slavery
within the constitution and its national
protection. We know that the south, If
capacity for unstinting sacrifice of it's best
blood and treasure. and endurance of ex-
treme hardship be the test of earnest pa
triotism, was as patriotic at least as the
north.
Many Of the Confederate soldiers who
fell in the last assault upon Lees lines
before Petersburg had nothing but 'goob-
ers' (peanuts) in their haversacks. Nothing
could excel the valor with which the tat
tered remnant of Lees famished army
fought up to the hour of surrender. When
we remember all these things today, it is
impossible not to think of the Confederate
deaU as we'll as the Union dead with equal
respect If not equal gratitude"
How far are these sentiments from the
plane upon which President Roosevelt
heights Of Arlington!
For the first time since the civil war,
and when the echo of it's last shot has been
dead more than thirty-six years, we have
a president of the United States speak
ing in way that is likely to revive sec
tional bitterness.
1t is creditable to the country that it
did not admire the spectacle.
