Jack Carson is lawyer and sends
children to the public schools. To
a certain extent he is y taxpayer and
has some sense Of justice, and is a
little sensitive about striking at q
poor lone woman school teacher when
she isn't expecting TO be struck at.
Fsrtbsrmore, Af. Carson seems to
have the absurd idea that q city SUPP
erintendent has plenty TO DO besides
trying to protect the school district
against graft in the kind Of heating
apparatus that goes into new High
School. So Mr.. Carson puts the ru.
mors floating in the air about that
graft into a statement over his sigma.
ture, and asks an investigation. Then
impelled by an absurd love of fair
play and good public sentiment he
asks lot Of direct questions, gets
lot Of afidavits and depositions to
try and prove the ugly. rumors of
graft ahoat. IL would never do for
Mr.. Carson, to be on the school board
and pursue such tactics. Leading and
influential men on the school board
want to exonerate all who are accused
of grating. 1t is not pleasant or pro.
ftablc to go to investigating such mat.
ters, II may be business and il NAV
be common honesty, but all such in
iuences have TO be forced on the al.
tcntion Of the school board from the
outside. II an outrage has been com.
mitted on three poor orphan school
ma 'ams, If graft has been att mpt.
ed, 1t might be left TO the board. They
will protect the people against outrage
and unbusiness methods and they
ought not 10 be stirred up and made
uncomfortable by persons like Carson
and others who have absurd ideas
about such things from a public stand.
point We do not expect pcrfecti In
public office, and little private graft.
ing has TO be put up with once in
awhile, or some people could not do pol.
itics at all at public expense.
