It's Mr.. Roosevelt's Way.

| Congressman Scott OF lola write
thus Of the Pollock appointment:
ITO say that the Kansas senators
and representatives we're surprised
when 1t was announced just after the
adjournment Of their meeting yester.
day that the president had sent the
name OF Hon. John C. Pollock to the
senate as United States Judge for the
district Of Kansas, would DO putting
1t mildly. They were struck dumb
with establishment. And they haven't
yet found out how 1t happened. The
first explanation suggested BY those
on the outside was that the president
had grown weary Of the wrangling
and dissensions Of the delegation and
the delay resulting thereirom, and
therefore decided to put an end to II
all. But the trouble with that theory
IL that there have been no wrangles
and dissensions. From the begin
ming the personal relations Of the
members have been Of the friendliest,
and not harsh word has been spoken
at any Of their meetings. And there
has been no delay for which the dele
cation was responsible.
"True, an agreement might have
been reached much earlier had it not
been for the charges brought against
Judge Pollock. But when these
charges were brought, the appeal Of
the friends Of Judge Pollock that he
be given time to answer them could
not in fairness be well denied. But
even SO, the delay has not been I'M
precedented. The Iowa delegation
is engaged in an exactly similar con-
test, and they have not yet come to
an agreement, but the president has
not rebuked them. So the theory
that the conduct Of the Kansas dele
cation is responsible for the presi-
dents action cannot be maintained.
There is only one theory to account
Tor It and that 10 that the president
has habi. Of perpetratIug sush sur
prises. Not long ago the entire
Indiana delegation waited on him one
Afternoon and asked him to not do
pertain thing. The next morning he

The Board of Education to Meet
Soon.
Tomorrow Night They will Fix .
Time for the Annual
Election
sUPT's REELECTION PREDICTED

1t will probably be several days be-
fore the grievance committee of the
board of education makes report rel
alive to the superintendent investiga-
tion concluded last night. While
nothing is given out, it is reported the
committee wlil probably find only tech
nical violation Of rules, If that much.
II is desired to have the matter full
ly disposed of before the annual cleo
tion of principals and teachers. Su-
perintendent Hatfield will apply for
reelection, and would be at dissd-
vantage with chs rges brought against
him unsettled. Hen the board, when
it meets tom o-row night before COM
mencement, will select time for hold
ing the annual election of teachers,
which will have to be subsequent to
the examination, about the middle Of
this month and also set time to hear
the report Of the grievance committee.
A member stated this morning that
he did not think any teacher need fear
for her position on account of having
10 testify in the investigation. That
he knew of no member of the board
|. who would hold it against teacher,
no matter where his sympathies were,
and that so far as his own attitude
was CONCERNED he had thought nothing
about It.
The same member stated that he did
not know what steps would be taken
to restore harmony in the schools.
That he thought the teachers would
understand that they were expected to
get along and act in a manner for the
best interests of the schools, no mat
ter what their personal feelings were.
He deplored the fact that should
Superintendent Hatfield be reelected
there might always be strained and
unfriendly relations between him and
some of the teachers, but had heard
no plan suggested for overcoming such
a contingency and felt confident Super
iutendent Hatfield would be reelected.
The members of the board seem to
be thoroughly worn out. They were
out until late Monday until midnight
last night, and will be out at the
commencement tomorrow night and
Friday night.

to harvest in few days. 1t will be

there are few teaches in some local
titles. The black berry crop will be
unusually good. Some hemp has been
resown and is growing nicely"

Supt. Wallace Has Resigned as
City Light Superintendent.
The Investigation of Charges Against
Him Was Set for To-
night.
COMMITTEE MEETING TODAY

Superintendent Harry Wallace Of
the city electric light plant, mas ten
dered his resignation, effective at once,
and the investigation Of charges filed
against him in the board of aldermen
several nights ago has now been de-
olared of, and IL is probable Mr.. Kee-
bier. who has been acting superinten-
dent at the plant for the past two or
three months. will be elected to suc-
coed him.
The charges against Superintendent
Wallace were for neglect and incompe-
tency. He has been quite i'll, and when
he returned from Chicago recently the
committee did not permit him to re-
turn TO work. He stated to Mayor
Yeirser today when he rendered his
resignation that there was not enough
in IL to Justify a controversy or inves-
tigation, and to his friends he has said
that the committee had made mp its
mind to Dust him, and he didn't feel
that he stood any show, as his illness
and absence would have been used in
proving neglect, and taken as pre-
text for dIsmissing him. So he re-
signed and made unnecessary the in
yestigstion set for tonight before the
board OF aldermen.
