the boards of examiners. - Provided.
That no teacher or officer In the service OF
the public schools OF the District OF ~
lumbia at the time of the passage OF TINS
ouired ito take any examination. either
mental or physical, to be continued In tne
service"
If the teachers are all new. requiring re-
appointment, all should be subjected TO
examination. But the law distinctly states
that no teacher. ETC., on the rolls on June
20 last should be subjected to an examina-
ton. This seems clearly to class all such
teachers as old teachers. Beyond this point,
however, lies the important question OF the
rights of those old teachers who may not
be marked satisfactory by their superiors
in the records of last year or the years
previous. Having been retained up to the
close of the fiscal year, they would seem
to have acquired status as old teachers. en-
titled to retention or continuation In the
service automatically, subject to later pro-
cess of elimination on the score Of their
fitness. The law prescribes that process.
a board of examiners being organized by
the superintendent in each Of the branches
Of the system. There is no logical evasion
of the conclusion that 1t was the purpose
of the statute that every teacher on the
rolls on June 20 should be automatically
entered upon the rolls for the new school
year, and then those who were unsatisfac-
tory should be given a chance to meet
charges Of incapacity.
A "square-deal' reading Of the act OF
Congress suggests that the board Of educa-
ton cannot grant the immunity from. ex-
animation to the fourteen hundred teachers
whom it appointed last Tuesday and deny
She privilege of examination to the forty
or so who were not reappointed. 1t Is a
poor law indeed that works both ways.

Cuba.

There could be no more preposterous
proposition than that President Roosevelt
send a commission Of American citizens to
Cuba to supervise a new election IN the
island and insure fair play at the polls be-
tween the two Cuban parties. In making 1t
the authors show their incompetency for at
fairs Could the President Of the United
States cancel the election which gave Presi-
dent Palma his second term? Could COM
mission Of Americans named by him pre-
scribe the terms of a Cuban election. take
charge Of the polls. regulate the spirit Of
partisan contest, and decide as to the vic
tors? What would be left Of Cuban indie
pendence? And what guarantee would there
be that the party losing in such circum-
stances would accept the American deci-
sion? The next call might be for American
arms to support government thus installed
by American influences.
This complaint Of the Cuban liberals
against their opponents Is Of a piece with
complaints made in this country about our
elections. Many Bryanites insist that Nc
Kinley's two elections were bought Judge
Parker asks us to believe that money of life
insurance companies. wrongfully contrib
uted to the republican campaign fund, de-
bauched the electorate in 1904. The poor
loser in politics. whether Cuban or Ameri-
can, must find a reason for railing against
the winner. and the cry Of fraud or Doodle
comes pat to the ratified and disgruntled.
America sympathized with Cuba under
Spanish rule because there were visible
evidences of extreme oppression. de-
Mai to the people of any part in the shap-
ing of their affairs was only one count of
a long indictment. Physical suffering and
want were added to the peoples burdens.
There Is nothing in Cuba today to move
us as we were then moved. At most there
appears row between politicians over Of
fee and power. AS a rule, the people are
prosperous and in better condition than
ever before in their lives. Merchants and
farmers and wage earners are all doing
WELL
If this racket has been fomented and
Is being financed by Americans and Cubans

ton the fact should be exposed, Annexa-
ton in time may come. But, at this time,
and by the means suggested. 1t would be
a stain upon this country's name. For
this reason we may expect this government
to very carefully pick its way in the pres
ent complications.

Politics and BedfeIlows

Politics makes strange bedfellows, and
some of those fellows change beds with
wonderful celebrity. Observe

Murphy were as close as brothers. The

Future Aerial Navigation.
From the Columbus (Ohio) 8

If there is any connection between bal
looming and aerial navigation it Is remote.
The airship Of the future probably will not
have even a speaking acquaintance with the
Of the apparatus by the aid of which aero
nauts rise from the earth and accomplish
brief flights. Some day scientists will con-
quer the real theory of flight. Much prog
through study of the mechanical principle
operated by birds. Once those principles are
discovered and the problems Of their appli-
cation Is solved man will build himself an
actual airship having commercial value.
Then the question of the weight to be raised
will be relative only, and the airship will be
as Independent OF air currents as the sea-
going ship now Is Of water currents.

An August Night.

Like some sad spirit, whispering of the
past,
Comes waning August. Where the rose
was fair
The landscape is by sorrow overcast.
The song Is silent and the field is bare
Ills true that here and there some blos-
som frail
Doth beckon in the whiteness Of the
moon.
But all seems weird, intangible and pale.
An August night is but the ghost of
June.
