have changes made.
I'm some of the cases." said Bah
bitt, "the changes of assignment have
been made against the known desires
of the teachers concerned. The assign
ments have been made generally as the
committee thought best Tor the effici>
ency of the department. OF course IN
many cases the locations of the homes
of teachers is an important considera-
ton, for a teacher naturally wants to
have school near where she has a
home.'
At the suggestion of Rabbit it was
decided that the appointments shall be
considered as from year to year, the
Board not being bound in any way not
to make changes such as may seem adj
visable at any time. The list as decld-
ed upon, it is believed, will be sub
stantially maintained

NEW FRENCH
ARMY RIFLE
THE LEBEL LONGER AND HEAV-
TER THAN AMERICAN GUN, BUT
NO BETTER.

WARRINGTON, July 21-A sample
of the new French small arm, the i'm
proved Lebel rifle, has been received
at the War Department and is being
carefully examined by the experts. The
gun is about four inches longer than
the new American rifle, slightly small
er in caliber and a pound or two
heavier, but it does not appear that it
surpasses the American arm in range,
accuracy or other valuable qualities
The magazine extends in line with
the barrel like an American sporting
rifle, and the gun uses no clips; con-
sequently it is slower to load than our
own gun. The center of gravity is
continually shifting with the move
ment of the munition in the magazine
and there is danger that a shell in the
magazine might be exploded by a
sharp blow Of the stock upon the
ground, causing the pointed bullet OF
one shell to strike the primer of the
one above it, A queer square ribbed
bayonet over twenty inches in length,
fitted with a sword handle Of alumni
mum, gives the French gun a formid-
able appearance, but our ordnance Of
ficers think better of our knife bayo-
net.

The announcement of the assign
ments of teachers to positions in the
public schools is expected to be fol-
lowed by numerous complaints and re-
quests for changes in the distribution
of the jobs. 1t was not expected that
about 500 persons could be assigned to
places just as they would choose,
and in some cases teachers got
jobs they didn't want. This morning
Superintendent Rabbit had several
teachers as callers, and it is expected
that there will be some with requests
for establishments of the list.
BY way of forestalling individual eff
forts to have changes made, the Board
of Education declared itself against
private lobbying on the proposition. At
the meeting yesterday afternoon Su-
perintendent Babbitt, with the approx
al of the Board intimated strongly
that the teachers were not wanted to

A Liberdade in it's current issue con-
tains the following article in the Eng
lish section, concerning the Judge Rob-
inson controversy. In the Portuguese
columns it contains Judge Robinson's
letter to its editor in both English and
Portuguese which does not differ ma
terially from the letter addressed to
the Portuguese committee There is
also a Portuguese rendering of the re-
solutions adopted by the Portuguese
meeting and a translation of the let
ter of c. w. Booth to the Star on the
subject.
The leading article of editorial char
acter follows
JUDGE ROBINSON AND THE
PORTUGUESE.
1t is to be regretted that Judge Rob-
inson in working for a worthy cause,
the repeal of the Hawaiian land laws,
brought forth a statement, which, the
way it reads, applies to an honorable
class of immigrants, the Portuguese, in
every respect the best of all the differ
ent nationalities that have been tried
by our planters, some epithets which
they certainly do not deserve.
If they were poor an duneducated-
many were educated at least in their
own language-when they arrived here,
no sensible man makes them a crime
or event dishonor of this deficiency.
But all with very few exceptions were
certainly honest, moral, religious, law
abiding sons of the Catholic Church.

tice have had very few cases on theii
calendars in which a Portuguese was
the defendant. And when they had

Portugal has produced them. eff

they found it here in the sunny land
of American liberty and enlightenment.
We need not down America to put
Portugal up, but if the fruits show the
quality of the tree our citizens of old
Portugal can very well stand the COM
parison.
If the individual did exist for the
benefit of the state or the society-a
notion which seems to underly the edu-
cational hobby so muchly praised up
by todays politicians, it would be right
to teach and educate all the citizens in
order to improve the stock owned by
the society or the state. But this is a
misconstruction society exists for the
benefit of the individual. The state is
former in order to help the individual
to attain his aim of life in accordance
with the notions the individual has a
right to have for himself of his life's
aim.
If only those are fit material for
American citizenship that know how
to vote intelligently, well, I declare
there are but few who answer this re-
qurement, not more, indeed, than are
actually able to run the machine of the
government by themselves. The COM
mon voters are satisfied to believe in
their party leaders and feed and fatten
on the promises of the candidates and
graft
Now whatever may have been the
short comings of those individuals who
incensed Judge Robinson during the
Johnson trial, he is certainly wong
i'm accepting them for the whole people.
His exaggerated statement is certainl,
offensive to the Portuguese. But
must deprecate also similar exaggera
tones on the part of many of thos
letter writer's who appeared in tn
press at this occasion. May all re
, member that exaggeration hurts tn
