COMPETITIVE EXAMINATIONS.
Plan for Appointment of Medical In
Spectors in Schools.


Commissioner mcfarland, who. has SUI
pervislon of all the departments of the Dis
trict government affected. will recommend
to the Commissioners that the board of
medical supervisors of the District be re-
quested to prepare a plan for the COM
petitive examination of applicants for the
position of medical inspector of public
schools and for the position of physician
to the poor. The District appropriation act
approved March 3, 1903 provides "for
twelve medical inspectors of public schools,
four of whom shall be of the colored race
at $500 each" with the proviso that said
inspectors shall be appointed by the Com
missioners only after competitive examina-
ton, and shall have had at least five years
experience in the practice of medicine in
the District of Columbia"
And the same act makes the usual pro-
vision for physicians to the5poor to be ap-
pointed by the Commissioners on the recon-
mendation Of the health officer, who has
Informed Commissioner Mcfarland that he
would like to have the results of COM
peLitiVe examination i'm making his recon-
mendations There iSIene vacancy in the
corps of physicians to the poor and one or
two vacancies in thesGorpS- of substitute
physicians to the poor. to which appoint
ments to physicians to ithe4poor are first
made, and from which promo tons are made
to the staff of physicians to the poor.
There are numerous applicants for the
medical inspectorships in public schools
and for physicians to the poor. Commits
sioner Macfarland desires to get the best
men possible for these places. He, there
fore, recommended the provision in the law
for a competitive examination of the public
school inspectors and recommends now the
same provision for the applicants for ply
sfcians to the poor, which are more direct
~ under the control Of the Commissioners.
He will suggest the board of medical super
visors as the best source for a suitable
scheme q inS

medicine and supervises the work of the
different boards of medical examiners

Roosevelt's Chances for Reelection
Political ststisticians have been
moved by the enthusiastic reception
Of the president In the west TO calcu-
late his chances Of reelection without
New York For some reason Mr..
Roosevelt has not been as popular In
his own state a. elsewhere. His ma
jority over Judge Van Wyck was small,
aud more recently New York has
shown symptoms Of An Intention TO
step out Of the republican column.
But as the msthematicisns point out,
New York has ceased to be tho pivotal
state. Two hundred and ffty.nine
votes are necessary to elect . president
II Mr.. Roosevelt loses New York and
Nevada, but carries al the other north
ern states, he will have 2s3 votes. He

without prejudice that six Of these

A Man Of Destiny.

A Man Of Destiny.
The immense popularity OF Presiden.
Roosevelt has been amply demonstrate
ed during the past few weeks Of his
administration. He has made the long
est tour Of the country ever made by
any president, has participated in the
dedication Of the greatest worlds fair
that has ever been attempted, has
made speeches by the score and In ev-
cry city and town be has been received
with such marked enthusiasm and
good will. the kind that springs from
the hearts Of the people and Is not
generated by a political committee,
that it is readily seen that he is the
most popular president the country
has ever had. This is the feeling not
only in the west, but throughout the
nation. Roosevelt is q "msn Of desti.
ny" and that destiny is to be re-elect-
ed by the most overwhelming majority
ever given any presidential candidate.

Weekly Crop Bulletin.

Compiled by the Colorado Section OF
the U. S. Department Of Agriculture,
for the week ending May IL. 1908.
Although the temperature has aver
aged close to normal, the nights have
been too cool for rapid termination
and growth In the eastern counties
Beneficial showers have occurred In
extreme eastern and southeastern
counties and light showers elsewhere;
in general there Is sufficient moisture,
except In south central counties. Pl0W
Ing continues for corn, potatoes, late
beets, melons and gardens, and seed
ing is mostly finished. Small grain
shows good stand and oats injured by
the freeze are reviving. Replsnt-
ing Of beets is still In progress; good
stands are general. In the northern
counties most Of the early crop OF po-
tatoes will be In this week. Garden.
ing is general, but cool nights have re
tarded growth.
The concensus OF opinion Is that de-
spite the recent freeze, eastern coun-
ties will have fair crop Of apples and
cherries, q half crop or more OF straw
berries and few plums, peaches and
grapes; western counties-where more
favorable temperature conditions have
prevailed during the spring-re report q
heavy setting Of apples, pears. plums,
cherries and strawberries, and . fair
setting of apricnts and peaches.
Alfalfa on the eastern slope was
checked somewhat by the freeze and is
making rather slow growth. 90 that

Soft and crooked bones mean
