An appeal to reason is grand
thtng; but an appeal to prejudice is
the strong card Of the demagogue.
The man who is right it willing to
stand on the truth. The man who is
wrong must put his trust in decep-
ton. hypocrisy, and lies. Falsehoon
has the temporary strength of the
brute. Truth. morality, and justice
have final victory, although 1t may
he long delayed. Everything may be
fair in war, but tremendous advan-
tage is on the side OF the right. It
is the same way in politics. The
man who obtains confidence on false
pretenses will sooner or later be
brought up by an obstacle. Morgan

tion affecting the Districts interests 20

WANTS A DIRECTOR
BurleSon Aims to Abolish
School Board.
INTRODUCES BILL IN HOUSE
Texan Would Wipe Out the Posi-
tions of superintendent and Assist
President Power of Appointment.
May Save the District Money.

To completely abolish the board Of
education, the superintendent. assist
ant superintendents. and supervisors.
and place the school affairs of the Dis
trict in the hands OF a school director.
is the purpose or a bill introduced in
the House yesterday by Representative
a. S. Burleson, Of Texas. member Of
the subcommittee on appropriations for
the District OF Columbia
The bill provides that after the first
of the coming February the Office OF
superintendent. assistant superintend-
ents Of the white and colored schools
the office OF secretary. and the school
board be abolished. Then it provides
the President may appoint school di-
rector who has the proper qualifica-
tiOns, and who shall have complete
charge over the schools.
On July /. il is provided that the di-
rector shall appoint seven assistant di-
rectors. who shall take the place of the
supervisors. and, with the director,
shall constitute a board of directors,
which shall meet and transact such
business as may be called.
The director is ordered 20 make re-
ports to Congress in December OF every
year. and is empowered 10 select and
discharge such directors as he shall
think qualified or unqualified
The salary Of :he director is placed
at $4,000 a year. and that of his assist
ants at $500 year.
IF Congress would adopt this bill"
said Mr. Burleson, discussing il yes
tcrday 1T would save the government
about SI50,OOO d year over the present
cost of the school administration. and
would preclude the possibility of such
UnSeemly things as the trial that is
now going on.
1T would completely eliminate the un-
pleasant features, and it would simplify
the present conditions without making
any disturbances. IL would put the
schools under the direction and control
or capable hands. because the required
qualifications for the place as head OF the
schools are such that an inferior man
could not get it. The bill provides that
he must be a graduate from a reputable
college or university. must have done no
less than three years collegiate work.
and must have held educational positions
Of Importance for no less than ten years
before becoming an applicant for such
Office.
FOur-year Term.
''The bill further provides that he shall
serve a term OF four years. and with
such appointment l believe a good man
could be put at the head Of the schools
who would give us at least four years
rest from the turmoil into which they
have constantly been thrown under the
present and former systems"
Other members of the House who dis
cusSed the bin admitted it had good fea-
lures. but the general trend Of opinion
seems 20 be that the control of the schools
be vested in the Commissioners. as il has
been in the past, permitting them 20
name the members of the school board.

battle, Mrs. w. G. Wingrove, of this
city, is in a serious condition from
her injuries, and the police are hunt
ing high and low for the man whose
blood is plentifully spattered about
the dining room in which she was
found unconscious, revolver in hand.
The Wingroves were in bed, when
Mr.. WingTove became i'll and his wife
arose and, attired in her night gown,
started down the stairs to get a bottle
OF medicine which had been left in
the dining room. Near the foot of the
stairs she thought she heard a noise
in the dining room. She crept back
to the bedroOm, secured a revolver
and descended again.
Reaching the dining room door, she
saw one of the burglars raise a re-
volver and there was a flash. The
woman fired quickly at the place
where she had seen the raen, and
heard a cry "My God, she has hit
me. Kill herr"
Something struck her in the face
and she was thrown to the floor and
kicked and beaten. She fired once
more before she lost consciousness.
