Washington, April S.-The senate

Senator Depew referred TO Senator
Hanna's reply to Senator Pettigrew's
attack on him, saying that previous to
that time the Ohio man had distrusted
his powers of speech. The reply, :
Senator Depew said, was not a

found in Senator Hannas familiarity
with business the secret of his success
as a leader in public concerns.
Senator Dick, concluding his speech.
said: No man who made so brief a
passage across the theater of
our national life ever left a
stronger impression on his

"Mr. Miller is evidently not man OF
a very fine sense of honor or he would
have resigned his position after his re
election last year when he found the op-
position to his being retained was 50 bit
ter. During tile past school year his
efforts along educational lines have been
so bitterly opposed that the school board
might as well have thrown the salary
they have paid him at the birds. His
connection with the 'get-rich quick
scheme has not only brought him in dis
repute with the patrons of the schools
but has killed whatever influence he may
have had with the schools under his
charge. The other charges against him
have not been proven, Ia tine opinion OF
The Herald, but such as have been
proven from has own statements in the
interviews he has made, is sufficient
grounds for the board of education to
notify MIN chat his resignation would be
acceptable.
"If through his innocence he was in
duced TO enter into a contract with the
Bloomington concern, that alone should
be a sufficient reason why he is not capa-
BILE of holding such "a responsible posi-
lion as he now holds. man who is
elected to the position of superintendent
OF the Grand junction schools should be
above reproach. not only in his business
transactions but in his daily life. What
ever the opinion of the board may have
been when there was such bitter fight
made on MIR. Miller last year they must
now realize that hey made mistake in
employing Mr. Miller for another year.

way iniure Mr.. Miller, but it is not only
IL the province of this paper but It's
duty to insist that the board consider

to any individual interest they may have
in Mir Miller or any other man who
should make application for this respou-
