pals and teachers. Further than this
thew are not expected 70 60.
When the board selects a superin-
tendent it is with the understanding
and expectation that the superlnten-
dent is qualified to look after the in
structon Of the tho" loGs OF sch''-
ars, and to SO arransc III respect 40
the courses Of e'uir that the best
possible mental results are to be OBJ
tanned. Upon the superintendent
should be placed in the full and unlim
tied responsibility for whatever per
tains to matters purely educational
1t is for him to determine what is
best for scholars, how the most sat
isfactory returns can be ensured, to
make the standing OF the schools as
high as possible, and in every way to
strive to improve the school system,
OF course in this work the superln-
tendent is to be guided so far as
expenses go by the sum available
and under control OF the board OF

When members of the board seek
to take upon themselves the func-
tons of the superintendent and to
interfere with his wOrk-cven to the
extent Of countermandng his IN
structions to the principals and teach
ers-then it must be set down that
the school affairs are to be placed
in jeopardy. There ought to be
Thorough understanding upon the
part of each member of the board re-
specting the naturals functions of the
board and what should be the I'M
disputed jurisdiction of the super

tinually edited with captious OBJ
iections and personal verbal contro-
versies, and thus far in the direction
of placing the superintendent in a
position that ties his hands to
large extent This should be stopped
at once.
The superintendent should be &C
corded the full direction of the pure
ly educational features of the school
system, and then if he fails he can
be held to an accounting. We take
it that the superintendent has solely
in view the betterment Of the schools,
the advancement of the standing of
the scholars, and to secure the best
teachers to be provided. The time
has come when the board of educa-
ton should subside and keep hands
off of these things with which they
should not trife, and of which many
of them have no intelligent concern.

not chosen because Of their standing

INVITE EUROPEAN CO
SPINNERS.

The movement started by e
ufacturer' Record, and ind J
representative bankers of the >o4th,
to invite the cotton manufac,. RS Of
Europe to visit Dixie for the pur-
pose of studying the cultivation Of
cotton, and to observe for them
selves the extent of the increase in
production that is possible n this
country, should be encouraged by
every person and organization in
terested in the supremacy of the
United Stats as the worlds cotton
center. Already English spinners have
expressed a desire to visit the South
for the purpose Indicated, but hest
tate to do so unless assured that
the cotton trade will welcome them.
The invitation should be extended
ernors, mayors and business organi-
tazions, and expressed in such
terms as to leave no doubt that the
South will receive them with open
arms.
Such visit would doubtless prove
profitable both to the foreigners and
the cotton growers, in view of the
agitation that has been started
abroad to increase cotton production
IN foreign countries so as to make
Europe independent of the United
States for supplies of the raw mater
ial. This agitation has been grow
ing for several years, but did not
assume threatening proportions I'M
til last year, when English and Ger
man capitalists began experimenting
upon an extensive scale in thepro-

Continent, but the quantity is too
small to give an accurate idea of
what could be done upon a large
scale. There are millions of acres
OF land in the South which could
be utilized for cotton This vast
tract is now a waste so far as the
production of any sort is concerned
but could be made valuable by the
expenditure of comparatively
small sum Of money
Aside from the cotton question, the

school boards of one half of the
country:

The Life-Riders.

The Life Riders.
o, the riders are strong and aliant,
And fear not storm, or strife;
They ride away, in dark and day.
For this is ride for lifel
They pause not to hear
The low moan O the year.
They stay not for kisses,
For love, or for tears.
Some ride to flower-far meadows,
Loved of the kindly skies;
And some to the Hills of Morning,
And some to the Valley of Signs.
They stay not-delay not
For tempest or tide;
For lifetime or death-time
They ride the Life-ridel
Fair speed, we, o, riders, so valiant
But mark where the life-way leads!
Silence at last where the shadows fall
FAST
Silence, and riderlss steeds.
What this for the long ride
In gloom and in CLEANS?
Gods rest in the dreams there
And since, and deamsl

President Roosevelt is up against
the real thing on the negro equally
question. A few days ago Private
John ]. Smith, stationed at Fort
Mott, N. J., married a negress and
his comrades, superior ~officers and
the citizens of Fort Mott have petit
toned Roosevelt, comman0er-in-chief

discharged. Smith says
that IF the head of the army thought
a negro good enough to eat with,

cations of the diabolical murder, as
there seemed no room for a theory of
accident. He had the police arrest
every japanese having no apparent
means of livelihood and held them for
investigation. Chester a. Doyle. the
japanese interpreter, was sent for to
conduct the examination of the prison.
ers. Doyle succeeded with a sweatbox
process in obtaining four men who con-
fessed that they knew the ran who
had committed the murder. They said
he had escaped to Honolulu. w. H.
Rice. Jr. was sent here to look for the
man and with the aid of a Japanese
detective identified Matsumoto MORT
taro, working on Honolulu plantation
as the person wanted. The fellow was
taken to Kauai, where he made con-
fesson that he had lighted the fuse
which set off eight sticks of dynamite
and a quantity of giant powder in
Glennan's tent. From the evidence Civ
en- at the preliminary examination of
Moritaro at Lihue, it appeared that he
secured the explosives from workmen
in the Makaweli tunnel, also that he cut
the telephone wire with a chisel before
exploding the murderous charge. He
had run two hundred yards from the
tent before the explosion came after he
lighted the fuse.
Matsumoto Moritaro was brought to
Oahu prison on February 10 for safe
keeping pending his trial by jury at the
present Kauai term. There was some
delay reported in the trial this week,
owing to the ruling that Doyle was dis
qualified as interpreter from his having
been the detective who secured the
