MIR. MARTINS TEMPER.

State Superintendent Of Education
Martin has quarrelled with Governor
Ansel over the appointment of Ex-
Governor John G. Sheppard to mem
bership on the State Board Of Educa-
ton. The misunderstanding between
the Governor and the State Superin-
tendent was unfortunate and the
hasty and harsh words Of the latter
ill-advised and childish.
Governor Ansel's cool and sensible
rejoinder to Mr.. Martins charges of
politics and influence" had the
effect Of bringing out an apology from
Mr.. Martin, but not until after Ex-
Governor Sheppard, offended by the
Implication, politely declined the
honor which Governor Ansel sought
to confer upon him. The misunder-
standing was most unfortunate one,
and we regret that it occurred. There
is nothing more detrimental to the
States educational interests than the
quibbling Of high officials.
Having in his apology acknowl-
edged his error in letting his temper
get away with him, we can bnt say
we respect Mr.. Martin for his later
manliness, and we hope that now Ex-
Governor Sheppard will see his way
clear to accept the place on the State
Board He is thoroughly competent
to act intelligently in the capacity OF
adviser in matters educational, and
we believe he has the best interests
of education at heart.

heen the custom. The officer in
charge of military Instruction was re-
Gently ordered to the West, and a re-
port had been circulated that Uncle
Sam was to abandon the military
course at Clemson.
1--WE have accomplished the pur-
pose Of our visit" said Mr.. John
stone, one of me members Of the
board OF directors" (which means that
the government is to appoint another
captain Of the army as an instructor
at Clemson College. There has been
no trouble, no complications, al
though reports have been circulated
to this effect. Owing to this fact we

we stand all right. The purpose of

received in communications by the Com
missioners. W. H. Lewis, secretary of the
Garfield Citizens Association, in letter
relative to the first named well, declares
that the whole community Is dependent
upon the wells and springs of the section
for it's water supply as the city water has
not been piped to that section of the Dis

There are only two active public wells in

The New Officers.
John H. Lorch, the newly elected presi-
dent of the Central Labor Union, came to
this country from London, England, about
eighteen years ago. After finishing his
trade in 1896 he became a member of the
local union of stationary engineers, and
has devoted much of his time to the up
building of that organization. He has
been eight times its president, and has
been a delegate to the Central Labor Union
for almost ten years, serving on the most
important committees, making an unusually
good record as member of the adjustment
committee because of his conservatism.

ened with lawsuits by those favoring the
open shop because of his alleged friendli

his dismissal of non-union plumbers. The
Central Labor Union thereupon congratu-

The Local Lockout.
An echo of the lockout was heard
when representatives of the Brother
hood of Carpenters were asked what
action that organization had taken in
regard to the resolution recently adopted
by the Central Labor Union calling upon
building trades not affiliated with the
Building Trades Mechanics Council, but
having delegates in the central body. The
representatives of the brotherhood stated
that no action had been taken, because
that organization had not received a copy
of the resolutions. On motion a committee
of three were appointed, consisting of
James F. McHugh, T. NJ. Ring and Chas.
B. Wandel, to visit the brotherhood Thurs
day night and verbally lay the request be-
fore that body and urge immediate action.
The building trades delegates were in a
jubilant mood last night, and let no OPP
portunity pass to give expression to the
opinion that the lockout would soon be
