Messrs Layton and Alice having is
sued their proposition to the Regular
Republicans have taken pains to place
copies in the hands Of the President
and the National Committeeman. II
was for this purpose that it was drawn
and ratified. II is well to keep this in
mind and the answer should not be
technical but should go to the root of
the matter. In our opinion it is not n
question Of majority, not a question OF
formal rules Of government but Of
morals, ana such a question is not de-
termined by a counting Of noses.

VIE Are ResnonsibIe7 z
the Hartford Courant.

From the Hartford Courant.
The New Haven Register. comment
ing on the revelations made by Re
ceiver Smith in the shipbuilding case
remarks:
We have had some financial liquida-
tion. Let us now have some moral
liquidation. 1t is due Canneld, the
gambler, who is about to be tried for
the same kind of an onense under a
different name.
There is a whole sermon in this one
sentence. and there is a deal to con-
slider in the fact. pointed out by the
Register, that Schwab who did the
shameful things exposed by Mr. Smith,
stands in among the leaders" of n
nance" is made president of this and
director OF that, and is to be reckoned
with when big affairs are on. People
are known by the company they keep,
and the question Is whether Schwab is
to be known by the men OF hitherto
good repute whom he associates with
or they are to be known as the asso-
ciates OF Schwab.

are not qualified fo- the work then
they are not worth anything, and
should be dismissed. 1t seems TO US
that this general question should be
settled first. and there is no reason
why it should not be discussed in pub
lie.
Having settled that point then
private meeting could be held to con-
slider the qualifications OF individual
teachers-though # seems TO us that
this should be done largely under the
recommendation OF the superintendent.
Presumably he is best qualified TO
judge Of the fitness Of the members OF
his teaching staff, and we shoH be
greatly surprised to learn that many
members OF the board know much
about it. The superintendent is an
expert he is coming in daily contact
with the teachers; from close personal
observation he is acquainted with their
good points and their bad. Presum
ably he does not rely upon gossip or
the stories Of children in forming his
judgments. There are members Of the
board who could sit in a classroom for
year and not be able to intelligently
judge the capacity OF teacher.

Tur rEAR OF PUBLICITY.

The Board of Education held g
meeting last night for the purpose of
adjusting the teachers salaries. It
was not a secret meeting thanks to
majority Of the members who held that
the public have right to know what is
going on. The reporters were allowed
TO remain. with the result that today
the people OF Wilmington will know
what occurred. There seems 10 be
growing sentiment that the newspaper
man who Sits pad IN hand, bent ON
letting the public know what its SER
wants are doing. is terrible creature,
and the doors are 10 be shut in his face
whenever possible. He Is feared be-
cause he has no bias cannot be moved
by any consideration. but wants to get
the facts to publish them. This is a
good rule to follow: If you don't want
the public 10 know what has happened.
don't let the reporters in--although
they may get Il anyway.
OF course there may be matters
which the Board Of Education doesn't
want the public to know. Dr. Frantz
objected to publicity. because the
school children read the papers and
talk about the reports. He expressed
the opinion that it demoralizes the
children. There are several ways OF
obviatlng this Generalization: the
meetings may be kept secret. parents
may be asked 20 keep the deadly local
newspaper out Of the hands OF thoil
children or the members may make
the discussions Of such a nature that
the reading OF them will not demoralizs
any one. We admit that frequent
~ things are said at the board meet
ings that do not add 10 the intellectual
and moral elevation OF the children
who read OF them.
Another speaker remarked that these
matters were none of the public's
business, which shows that the mem
bers OF the board have a full realiza-
ton Of their powers and prerogatives
It Is remarkable the way tho public IN
sists in prying into the doings Of pub
lie officials, st wants ro>Snow how the!
are spending the public monies an'
how the public affairs are being con
Quoted. And the worst thing about
all is that the insidious reporter is Il
a conspiracy with the public TO keei
It informed. When we come to full
recognize that the public is entitled I
no information then the press muz
zler will be demanded.
We We're under the impression tha
the matter Of the equalization Of salar
les was to be discussed. That is al
abstract question. If teachers ar
qualified TO perform the work Of
given grade 1t would seem to US tina
their salaries should be equal. II the
