Prof. A. L. L. Suhrie, of st Marys,
was in the capital city few hours Tues
day, circulating among his friends He
was on his way for a vacation trip
Prof Suhrie was shamefully treated by
the Democratic ring Of this county at
the recent election of school principal
in st. Marys. He was the principal
there for number of years and had
done wonderful work for the schools,
but he attended strictly to his own
business in looking after the educa.
tional interests ofSt. Marys and did not
attempt to do and political work for
the ring. 1t was decreed, therefore,
that he should be bowled out and his
place given as reward to another.
The people Of st. Marys made mighty
protest, and kicked against the edict Of
the political ring as they had never
kicked before, but it was no use, four
of the directors had been elected ex-
preslly to throw Mr.. Suhrie out and
they did it aud held their own jobs.
Itremains to be seen whether the people
of st. Marys know how to get even. -
Ridgway Advocate.
