result.
The bare statement OF this fact By
one Of the Riverside mothers who pro-
tested against the action OF the COM
mittee in carelessly taking the keys
with them and failing to return them
when they found that they were needed
at the school is said to have silenced
any further discussion Of the matter n

The suggestion to permit women t.
enter politics, even in the interest Of
the desire OF some Of them to have

not be met with popular response in

Certainly the women Of Florida would
oppose the dragging Of their sex in'o
politics So far as the schools are coz
cerned the women's duties are plain.
1t is their privilege to inspect the school
room, the premises, and to protest as
vigorously as women can when school
matters are not being conducted as
they ought to be. They should not
seek, and do not seek, TO enter the
mire Of politics in order that they may

the beginning OF a general entranc

From the Pittsburg Dispatch.
The ST. Petersburg situation remains

But what shows the leaven to be

Pittsburg a Slavonian paper upholds
the suppressive measure OF shooting the
petitioners. The grounds on which this
approval Is based are interesting. 1t is
STATED that the Czar had promised to
give the people constitutional rights as
rapidly as he can; that he had accept
cd the petihlon of the Zemstvos; that
the worlSingmens petition was tinged
by Socialism and supported by the cry
END the warl" and was am attack on
constltutionallsm. The Slavs I'm this
country who rely on such information
will be wofully misled. They should
know, as well informed Americans do,
that while the Gear has promised some
primary reforms he has refused any
further promise; that he rejected the
petition of the Zemstvos for constitu-
tional and representative government
and rebuked them for presenting 1t;
that ZemstvOs and workingmen alike
have called for the ending of the war
and that even the demands of the So
cial Democrats. published the other
day, are for what in this country are
the most primary right of any free
people.
Thus far the popular platform in
Russia would be recognized as indis-
putable human rights I'm the United

be carried 10 extremes OF Anarchy and
violence. That would be like the
French Reign Of Terror, the reaction

MEN WHO TEACH.

THE Honorable Champ Clark, OF
\ Missouri who does his part to
keep the House of Representatives in
good humor, when he is not writing a
magazine article or lecturlng in some
remote district has been discussing
the pay Of school teachers in the Dis
trirt OF Columbia.
Mr.. Clark IS not likely to dismiss any
subject without turning on the side
lights, and in this instance ne illum-
ines several points in a way that Is in
teresting He says that the biograph-
les Of an the Congressman in both
houses would reveal that they began
their careers as school teachers.
This suggests a question and an OBJ
servation. The question is why many
Of them dd not remain school teach
ers? And the observation is that af-
ter a man finishes his scholastic educa-
tion, nothing so impresses it on his
mind and makes St available as to in
struct others.
Perhaps that answers the query Of
why so many begin by teaching school
and end as doctors. lawyers or Con-
gressmen. The profession Of teaching.
unfortunately, does not offer the oppor-
tunities Of advancement that other vo-
cations do; and, therefore, it is more
often a stepping stone than a place of
permanent work.
But Mr.. Clark makes enother obser-
walton that is interesting. He says thai
he believes that You could turn out OF

III their places Immediately with
Washington school teachers without

A FTER all the pretty things that
"A were said at the Board Of Trade
banquet to the members OF the Legis-
iature last night we might assume
that a new era has dawned for VIII
mlngton; that the statesmen while en-
ioying good dinner had looked us
over. decided that our needs are real,
and have gone back to Dover to pass
mess OF laws" to our everlasting ad-
vantage
But If this happens, then we shall
feel that we accidentally elected a bet
ter Legislature than we intended,
blessed are they who expect nothing
for they shall not be disappolnted", APP
pears to MS as a good motto for the
city to inscrbe on her banners.
There are two bills providing for a
new charter for the Board Of Educa-
ton; we fear that If either is passed
il win be the worst. one was drawn
by persons who are interested in edu-
cation and who had studied the
methods adopted in the most progress
sive communities: the other is drawn
10 suit the politicians.
Then there is a proposition to raze the
present town han and build on its site
structure with plate glass windows,
sheet-iron cornlces. metal ceilings and
a tin roof. The present colonial struc-
ture was good enough FOR our fathers
but VIC want-to be -up-to-date. The
Colonial Dames.ask that the old struc-
ture be restored, but there is no politics
in restorations.
Then we shall ask our legislators to
give US a new City Charter. We recog-
nize that the man who has spent his
life on a farm Is an expert on municipal
matters. He understands all the intri-
cacies Of the subject, and can actu-
ally distinguish between n mayor
and a town constable. But viii we get
q new charter? well hardly. unless It
is in the nature Of a ripper bill which
iesislates out Of onice certain persons
and which places in power others.
Wilmington wants a part OF the
revenues derived from liquor licenses
granted for saloons here; she thinks
that since she is nut 10 considerable
expense because Of drunkenness. she
should receive a part Of the license
revenues TO help foot the bin. But will
she get ite
Then for the purpose Of carrying on
the various departments OF our gov
eminent and for necessary improve
ments we shall go down TO Dover with
winning smile on our faces and a
bill IN our pocket We shall say 70 the
members from Mnsboro. the shoe
string" district and Jones' Neck. 1--WE
would like the privilege of borrowing a
little money, please sirs,"
i. And they win frown. look wise, and
take it under advisement. Now for a
legislator to take a thing under ad-
visement means that he has to wait to
see some one. and. therefore, we may
be kept IN suspense for sometime ere
we learn whether we may borrow
money on our own credit
Wilmington needs legislation on vari-
out usbiects. some OF which is OF the
greatest importance. May we not ex-
pect TO receive the treatment which a
city OF our size and Importance war

ROSS
OPPOSES CHARTER
Says Every Ward Should
Have Representation in
Board of Education
SEVEN MEMBERS Not ENOUGH

Daniel Ross, one Of the most active
members Of the Board of Education is
much opposed to the proposed new char
ter for that corporation, drawn up at the
instigation of the New-Century Club. The
latter organization, he believes had the
proposed new charter drawn up because
the board refused to take advice from
members Of the club recently, when sew
eral matters of Importance came up before
the board for consideration. He has con-
ferred with several important State Off
cials on the charter question and says the
charter as prepared by the present board
will be passed by the Legislature.
Present Board Not Too Large.
Mr.. Ross thinks twenty-four members,
the number now constituting the Board
of Education are not too many and says
that each ward should certainly have
representation, which in the event of the
New-Century Club charter becoming a
law would not be, as but seven mem
bers elected at large would then compose
the board. He said the members Of the
board are business men Of average good
judgment and education and capable OF
filling the positions they occupy as the
representatives Of the people who elected
them. They were elected by a class Of
people whose children attend the public
schools" said Mr.. Ross, land can be ap-
preached by the parent of scholar with
out hesitation.
In the event Of the board receiving no
charter at this term of the General As
sembly," said Mr.. Ross, 1.-THE department
would pass into the control of City Coun-
ell. and would then possibly be used for
political purposes. There are no politics
in the board, as is evidenced by my ap-
pointment Of DR.. Cooper, who is a Demo-
crat, as my colleague from my ward. I
thought him to be a gooa man for the Of
fee with time TO attend 10 the duties at
tached to the position and don't think
| made any mistake in appointing him.
Changes For the Better.
Since the present board has been in

the better in the school system in this
city and have as figures will show. al

system would be detriment to the school
