ALL SHOULD BE
TREATED ALIKE


The Herald Is eisher for the com
plete enforcement of the Sunday an,
midnight closing of saloons and gam
bling or for wide open town.
For some places to obey and other.
disregard the law is not fair play ant
only tends to create dissatisfaction al
around. In enforcing me CLOSING
law we are aware that Sheriff Thomp
son is up against hard proposition
Tor the reason that he Ia not eiver
any aid by the city officials wnc
should, according to their oath of Of
nee, work hand in hand for the en-
iorcement OF all laws. Nevertheless
X Is task that must be borne. The
herald is In receipt of complaints
from women that their husbands re.
main out all night drinking and that
unless there were places open for
them to secure drink they would nat.
uraily go home, and we have been in
formed on numerous occasions that
some of the saloons keep closed
blinds and entertain parties after the
midnight hour Some of the saloon.
Keepers complain of this and ask why
it Is permitted.
The Herald is not personally ac-
quainted with the conditions said to
exist and the only way we know to
settle the matter is for the sheriff S
office to start an Investigation.
This much we do know, however,
tnat young men-boys in their teens,
were able to get plenty of drink on
the Fourth of July, and were seen
reeling on the streets Fourth of July
night Where they obtained the
whisky we do not know, but it does
seem that some effort should be made
by the city marshal and his men to
apprehend those guilty of selling liq-
uor TO minors. Again, we know that
the Nayajoes visiting the city during
Fourth of July week were able to OBJ
tain all the whisky they wanted and
many were reeling drunk on the
streets the day before tne Fourth
and no effort, so far as we know, was
made to apprehend the guilty.
hoSS WHO were III lne court room
and heard the district attorneys ar.
raignment during the recent Young
trial of course realize that Sheriff
thompson mas a hard single handed
fight on his hands; at the same time
II must be bravely met.
The fight this fall in Durango and
La Plata county must be based on or.
der and enforcement of the law and
the same fight will be made next
spring when The Herald trusts those
interested will see to it that a city
administration, including council, is
elected that will work in harmony
with the peace officers of the county.
The Herald is simply for equal JUS
tice to all. If the law is good thing
for one person, 1t should be a good
thing for all.
And We ask Sheriff Thompson to
see that equal justice prevails, no
matter if he does have to go it alone.
He is clothed with complete power
and the strong arm OF the law will
back aim up.

OPPOSE SCHOOL CONSOLIDATION.
Action of Women Principals Blocks Efforts
of Department to Economic.

Opposition to the attempted economies of the
Board of Education has arisen in the Association
of Women Principals of Network City. AS has
been told in The Tribune, the Department of Ed
ucation can save nearly S15o00O year by con-
solidating the schools Of the city in Instances
where two and three school organizations prac-
tically form one school.
III many cases two and three separate organt-
cations exist under the same roof, costing the
city the salaries of two superfuous principals.
Both the Board Of Superintendent and the
special committees on economy of the Board OF
Education have often reported OH the amount
Of money to be saved by consolidating schools.
and have pointed out that unity is advisable, if
only from the dagogical point of view. While
the principals would only be reappointed to new
charges and would not be removed from their
positions in the school system, they have refused
to consent to the step and have placed so many
political barriers i'll the way that the Board of
Education has not been able to agree in the

AIMED At DIR. MAYUELL.
Stern Preparing Bills to
CurtaI Superintendent's Powers.

Abraham Stern, of the Board of Education, is
preparing a series of bills amending sections
Of the chapter of the charter which deals with
the schools, with view to curtailng further the
powers of City Superintendent Maxwell. The
bills will be turned over TO the boards committee
on bylaws and legislation and will then be
presented to the board for approval before sub
mission to the State legislature.
One of the most important changes contem-
plated by the bills is the removal of DR.. Max
well from the Board of Examiners. on the ground
that it is contrary to the principles of the civil
Service for a member of nominating body to
serve on the examining body. Mr.. Stern would
retain the four regular examiners and add q
fifth TO be selected by the Board of Education.
One bill would give the Board Of Education the
right to determine the subjects in which appl-
cants for teachers licenses should he examined,
while another purposes to have licenses issued
to persons qualified to receive them by the
Board of Education.
One bill, which viii not be drawn UP by mem
bers of the Board of Education, will probably be
introduced in the legislature this winter, asking
for the abolition Of the board of superintendent
and the creation Of the offices of first and sec
ond assistant city superintendent. All the bills
are designed to put the appointment of teachers
again into the hands Of the Board OF Education

native city. Los Angeles Cal. a visit. After
her husbands death. about four years ago in
England. Mrs Wells conceived the idea Of start

1T has proved a most gratifying success, she
said in an interview Saturday at the Graho
Union Hotel shortly before her departure for the
West. Women are trained IN gardening and the
allied subjects and I assure you there Is no
finer mode Of life for woman The school Is
beautifully situated IN the outskirts Of St Albans
about twenty miles north Of London, and the neigh
horhood IS spieudidIy adapted for fruit and mar
ket gardening
Asked why she did not start such institution
here instead OF in England. Mrs Wells laughed and
replied;
There seemed to me for many reasons to be
far more likelihood Of such undertaking sue
ceeding in England than in this country Then
TOO had a number Of friends over there who were
willing to help in carrying out my idea WhetheT
I would have succeeded any better IN America
