.SPO|LS SYSTEM TO

All Sorts of Heads Will Fall
When Mayor Elect SChiI-
Iinger Takes Hold.
MAY RETIRE ED. MILLER
IN SPITE OF HIS EFFICIENT SER.
VICES THE NEW FIRE CHIEF
MAY HAVE TO Quilted DYE
STREET COMMISSIONER.

1t has been fifteen years or more
since Richmond has had a Democra-
tic mayor and when MayOr-elect
Schillingcr takes his seat on Scptcm-
Der l, the Democratic day of reckon
ing will have come and it will be a
day of woe for the Republicans Of
course there will be some Republi-
cans appointments. The law provides
that certain boards which owe their
membership to the aDDontive power
of the mayor must be nOn-partisan in
complexion, hence one member of the
three on each board must be a Repub-
lican. Mayor Schillinger is a Demo-
crat. He does not intend to see his
party go tagging in the matter of
plum distribution. Richmond is to
get a sure enough taste of Democrat
tic government and according to the
Sun Telegram, the Democratic organ,
there is to be a clean sweep to the
platter when he Schillinger regime
begins.
1t is declared that the newly ap-
pointed chief of the fire department
Ed Miller. is to go the route of all
other good Republicans, although it
is known to be a fact that Mr.. Miller's
appointment was made solely because
of his fitness for the place and not
from political standpoint. The
Board of Works recognized the fact
that in the retirement of Chief Par
sons it was necessary to name a sue
cessOr who was we'll equipped to take
up the work which for so long had
been in such excellent hands. and Mr..
Miller, therefore, was selected, though
the time it was admitted by the
Board that there were others in the
department who also were well quail
fed. Chief Miller has shown since
his appointment that he is capable of
handling the fire department and
keeping it free from turmoil. 1t is
the aim in these modern days of mu-
nicipal government to keep fire de
partments out of political strife and
to the credit of the Republican admin
istratiOns in the past, it is asserted,
there was never an effort made to
mOnOpOlizes places on the department.
There have been more Republicans
than Democrats in the department,
but the fact remains that there were
a number of Democrats who owed
there places to Republican admins
tratiOn when it would have been pos
sible to have named all Republicans.
Whether Chief Miller is to go. is not
known by the Palladium, but the
Democratic organ hints pretty broad
ly that such a thing is being consid-
red. If he is reduced to the ranks af-
ter his brief period as chief. citizen
declared last night, it will be proof
conclusive that the change is made
for political reasons only for there
could be no possibility Of removal for
inCOmpetency.
according to a rumOr in city hall
circles yesterday, Ed Dye. one of the
best known Democrats of Wayne Co.,
and formerly Of Arlington township,
will be named street commissioner by
the new board of works. Mr.. Dye is
a travelling man and has resided in
Richmond for the past three years. 1t
could not be learned last night wheth-
the story of his selection is true or
not.

The High School Again,

II, referring again to the district
High School being established at
Monterey, we wish to state that we
are not prompted SO to do by any
pecuniary consideration, because
we have not been called upon, as
yet, to advertise the school, but we
feel personal interest in the sue
cess Of the effort, and are impress
ed with the fact that it signifies
much to the children and young
people Of the district and county.
Such opportunities are often over
looked or neglected by the masses
until the effort which affords them
either fails. or succeeds at the ex-
penditure of great amount OF en-
ergy on the part Of a few, For
this reason we urge all who are in
terested to look into the subject OF
High Schools, as now being insti.
tuted in Virginia, see what they
mean, how they must be conduct
ed. course Of study, the aims, pur-
poses and ends, and not confuse
them with former graded school
efforts. etc.
We are convinced in our own
mind that, to the parents who are
unable to afford the expensive tut
ton abroad, and to those who pre-
fer neighborhood and home environ
ments, the High School is a boon
and blessing, for the course pre-
scribed is ample to fit and qualify
students for any calling, aside from
professional life.
As stated last week, the law UNI
der which the Monterey High
School is established, gives free tu-
ition to all pupils in the district.
While the item Of board has in
creased with the advance in the
cost of living, farmers have an add
ed advantage along this line. be-
cause every product Of the farm
the articles Of food the girl or boy
would consume if at home-mav
now be sold on the market for cash,
or almost any private family or
boarding house will take such pro-
ducts In exchange for board, and at
cash prices. Then again, there
may be several good, christian
homes where industrious boys and
girls could secure board for such
service as they could render when
not in the schoolroom. In fact, we
have heard Of one or two such
places, and the ambitious boy or
girl who ayails himself Of such an
opportunity, is making no compro-
mise in the minds Of sensible PEG.
pie. In order that the benefits
may be enjoyed by other districts,
the tuition Of nonresident pupils
has been fixed at very small fig
ure.
Our state authorities have done
a good part in thus providing for
the needs Of the children, and it
would seem unnecessary to urge
the Importance Of appropriating
the good that is ours for the using.
