LOCAL GOVERNMENT
GETS HARD KNOCKS
School Board to Be Named
by Judges.

Champ Clark OF Missouri got busy
with the government of the District dur
ing the discussion Of the school bill in
the House yesterday afternoon Mr.
Foster OF Vermont got active with the
school board and the District Commits
siOners. Mr. Cochran OF New York got
into the game with some views about
the scandal of present inadequate safa-
ries for teachers. Mr.. Madden OF Hi
nois brought forth the Swartzell case.
As a result the school bill was amend
ed by taking the power Of appointing
tho school board out of the hands Of
the District Commissioners and turning
it over TO the Judges of the Supreme
Court of the District
The provision that there shall be three
of the nine directors from the colored
race, and three women on the board,
was stricken from the law.
'Worse Governed"

utterly unfit 10 conduct the local affairs

Missouri. 1T Is commonly asserted that

country 1 deny H. Il IS the worst gov

ers opposed having the courts do It.

Madden's Protest.
Mr.. Madden o. Illinois came forward
with a protest against star-cham Der
sessions of the board. He insisted that
public BUSINESS should always be done
in public He was finally defeated.
The commit, e's bill provided for ere
alton OF the uew Office Of Superintendent
OF Buildings znd Supplies. and this was
cut out on the general ground that the
position was unnecessary.
Mr. Foster of Vermont made a speech
that was fun of information and crit
icism- He denounced the school board
as incompetent and weak. protested
against its sJar-chamber methods OF do
ing business; didn't think IL ought 70
be appointed by the Comm iSsiOners or
the District, describing these as an ag-
gregaJion OF peanut politicians" and
added that Mr Macfarland was not

NAMED The DATE OF
PRIMARY FOR CITY.
Election is Called October
Third.
CITY COMMITTEE HAD MEETING
And Named Oct, Sd, the Date for Pri
mary For Nomination of Mayor. Three
Aldermen and City cIerk-Date That
of State EIe ction.

The primary election for mayor OF
Americus, three members of the city
council and clerk and treasurer will be
held on October 3rd, the date of the
state election, and during the interven-
ing three or four weeks the candidates
are going to be very buey indeed.
Three weeks from today is the date
of this battle of ballots.
But IN a democratic primary, con-
fined entirely to white voters, this is
ample time, very ample; and sffords the
candidate opportunity sufficient to call
upon the voters.
The city executive committee met
yesterday morning and, after discuss
ing the business IN hand, selected Co.
tober 3rd, as the date of the city pri~
mary and prescribed the rules govern
ing same. The proceedings of the
committee is given elsewhere.
All white voters of the city, who are
otherwise qualified and. who.have paid
their city taxes for last year mot this
years taxes) are entitled to vote in the
primary for city officers.
And now that the date of election
has been fixed, the candidates will be-
gin to get into the limelight
The term of Mayor E. A. Hawkins
expires this year, as does that of
Aldermen J. A. PinkstoD, lack s.
ChiIders and Elmo Poole, and of City
Clerk T. n, Hawkes.. Just how many
of these gentlemen will offer for re
election is matter of conjecture.
That some of them will do SO is
certainty; that others will not Offer
again is equally assured.
But to the credit of all, and their
oo-laborers as well, it can be said in
all truth that never before in the his
tory of Amerlcus have municipal
affairs, financial end otherwise, been in
more excellent and highly prosper
Gus condition than at present.
And, Gin rendering unto Caesar the
things that are Caesars" credit must
be given to the men now in control for
