Teachers Promotions, at All Event.

Whatever is done in the House with the
Foster amendment now a part of the
school bill, but still subject to reconsider
alton when the House proceeds with the
discussion of District business, the bill
itself should be passed for the sake of the
teachers salary scales and promotion pro-
visions which 1t carries. In the debate on
Monday last there was virtually no criti-
cism Of the proposed new scales The
questions that were asked by the members
s.to the necessity for the advances and
the new method of increases by automatic
progression were all answered in terms
which clearly showed the urgency of the
local need.
The friends of the schools who are
chiefly concerned about the salary pro-
visions of the bill realize that the chances
strongly favor the elimination of the Fos-
ter amendment by the Senate il the bill
reaches that body in its present shape,
but they would much prefer to have the
House itself purge the measure of that
preposterous paragraph and thus send the
bill over generally In the admirable form
in which it came from the committee.
However, they realize that II is to the last
degree important that action be taken at
this session by the House in favor of
more liberal salary provision for the
teachers. That is. after all. the main con-
sideration at this stage of the case

il Is highly important that the great tide
of money now flowing toward the stricken
City should pass through a single agency,

Let Him Have It.

Tho situation IN the matter of the Barnes
nomination has reached the point of para
dox Mr. Barnes. it is announced. has ex-
pressed his desire that Senator Tiliman' s
charges against him be fully Investigated.
The members of the committee In charge
OF the case. at meeting he'd today, have
In the face OF this announcement refused
to give the subcommittee authority TO SEND
for persons and papers and to conduct
complete and thorough investigation into
the Morris outrage. Thus Mr.. Barnes re-
quest for a complete chance at vindica-
lion which will stand the test of scrutiny Is
denied by his very defenders
If Mr.. Barnes is as anxious as Is now re-
ported to have the charges sifted to the bot
tom 1t Is certainly due TO him that the COM
mittee should proceed to ascertain the fun
truth OF the affair. 1t was absolutely as
sureG that IL the subcommittee was not
authorized to subpoena witnesses, to ad-
minister oaths and to preserve fun record
of the testimony those who are In posi-
ton to throw light upon the case would rot
present themselves for examination, and
such testimony as may have been taken
was not recorded. so that the work of the
subcommittee appears as mere pretense
a waste of time and of no value whatever
to Mr. Barnes as a clearing of his name.
These charges are formally preferred, in
terms which demand serious consideration
and the most searching examination. They
cannot be tossed aside as malicious and
unworthy of attentionA On their face and
in the light of the already known facts they
constitute an indictment which demands a
full scrutiny. 1t is no wonder that Mr..
Barnes wishes to have chance to clear
himself. If railroaded into his new office
by the whitewash route he will serve with a
cloud upon his title to the position. If, on
the other hand, the committee exhausts
every possibility to ascertain the truth. and
then with the full record before 1t the Sen
ate votes to confirm him. Mr. Barnes will
enter the post office with official in
do-sement which cannot easily be chal-
Ienged by the public.
If any members of the Senate committee
think to do the administration or Mr. Barnes
a service by refusing to move in the direc-
ton OF full investigation they are seriously
In error as to the effect of their reluctance.
They are today only aggravating the case by
their conduct. frightening the public belief
that they fear TO expose the facts, lest those
facts should be harmful to the nominee. No
man was ever helped by timorous
hesitating friend and the Presidents friends
in the Senate are certainly not serving him
In this case by their reluctance to move to-
ward the truth bravely and promptly

Carlisle and the Tariff.

When in Louisville the other day for the
purpose of arguing a law case. John G..
Carlisle was asked this question by re-
porter Of the Courier-Journal: From which
wing of the party do you think the demo-
Gratis should choose their next candidate for
President?' His reply was this:
Il never discuss politics. I make that an
absolute rule wherever I go. I'm out of 1t
and through with 1t. and don't want to
have anything more to say on the subject.
When l was a little boy my father used TO
tell me about two men who had made sue
cess in life. One accomplished it by at
tending to his own business, while the other
gained the same end by leaving other PEG
Plies business alone. That's the way
feel about politics"
Mr. Carlisle has been out of politics prac-
tically for nine years. When he retired
from the Treasury Department at the close
of Mr.. Cleveland's second term as President
he settled in New York for the practice of
the law. and since then has devoted his time
to his profession. Once or twice he has
appeared in public when politics was under
discussion. but not in an aggressive way and
not as applicant for office. He was a
Parker man in 1904, but not member OF
the eoterie of managers whose performances
ended in making the candidate look like
thirty CSHls
Now that the democracy is thinking of
taking up the tariff issue again, 1t is of in
terest to recall the fact that twenty years
ago. and later, this man was the ablest
representative of the revenue tariff idea In
the country. He defeated Mr.. Randall for
Speaker on that issue in the organizati ton
of the Forty-eighth Congress. and was
twice reelected When Mr.. Cleveland en-
tered the White House in 1885 he became
his party's leader by virtue of his office, but
Mr.. Carlisle remained by virtue of his gifts
and experience its intellectual chief He
was a past master where Mr.. Cleveland was
a learner.
If we look about us today we find no DEM
ocrat in office who as conspicuously repre-
sents the tariff issue Mr.. Carlisle in his
day did. No man on that side has so mas
tered the details of the subject, or possesses
his clarity or authority of statement Many
are in agreement with him. but not one has
a deliyerance on the subject to his credit
which compares with several bearing Mr..
Carllsle's hallmark
Stil, the issue remains one of very great
interest, and once it is fairly launched again
the leader may develop. The man-and- the
hour theory is well established with us. and
the hour seems to be approaching, although
the standpatters talk and act as If time
was nothing. and not clock existed

exploit them or make them ridiculous. They
are the real thing in the way of good citt-
zenship. For the Man with the Trowel, as
a type. is the man OF good impulses He

making In the best sense OF modern times.
