TUESDAY. FEBRUARY II. 1908

We are glad to note that the Rich
mond Times-Dispatch has seen fit to
inquire why Mr.. Pollock was turned
down in the Senate the other day.
When a man is not confirmed for
public office, it is always understood
that he failed to come up to the NOR
al kor intellectual standard required
for the place to which he was ap-
pointed, but in this ease we are in
formed that lack of senatorial
courtesy was the cause of his defeat.
1t seems that Mr.. Pollock was per
soma non grata with Senator St
Clair and that notwithstanding that
fact the State Board of Education.
after careful consideration. unani-
mously selected him for the position.
The whole thing in a nutshell is
just about this: Senator st. Clair ad-
vocated another person for the place
and when the Board of Education
differed with him, he took the case to
his brother Senators on the ground
OF Senatorial courtesy and succeeded
in overthrowing the action OF the
Board of Education. The real issue
in the case then is which shall have
the right of way, fitness for office or
senatorial courtesy?
We deeply regret thatpolitics have
again doomed up on the educational
horizon. We had hoped that the
people of this State had heard and
seen the last of petty politics in pub
lie school matters.
