CARDOZO GETS PAY
Other DepOSed Teachers May
Now Sue to Recover.
TRACEWELL GIVES DECISION
Declares Ruling of Court in Case of
DePOsed COIOred Principal Does Not
When Successors Were Named.
Little Danger of Two Settlements.

According to a decision made by Comp
troIler Tracewell yesterday, the decision
of Justice Anderson that Francis L. Car
dozo was illegally deposed by the board
OF education and is therefore entitled
10 his pay for the time he was out Of
office. the other deposed teachers are not
affected. He does not believe they can
recover their pay If they file suits. The
decision is made because Of the question
raised by Auditor Garrison who feared
to pay the successors to the other depOsed
teachers, because he thought. under the
CardozO ruling, both the depOsed teachers
and their successors might claim pay
thus necessitating settling twice for the
same work

Comptroller Tracewell says: The ques-
ton as to the payment OF the salaries Of
the new officers and teachers was on
cially submitted to the Comptroller Of
the Treasury, and under his decision Of
October i. 1906. it is clear that they are
entitled TO be paid their respective sala-
ries until said decision is modified or over
ruled By the courts.

Has Not Changed Opinion.

In my decision, rendered to you on
October Z, 1896, I gave the reasons why,
in my opinion. the new law does not
continue either the officers or teachers Of
the old school system In the new. On a
careful reconsiderat ton OF the act. 1 see
no occasion to change my opinion.
1t may be a correct Interpretation Of
this statute, and doubtless Is. to hold
that a supervising principal Of the public
schools is both an officer and a teacher,
but, with regard to pay. il is not seen
by me how such supervising principal
can be held to be both an officer and a
teacher"
All the teachers OF the public schools,
including the abOve-named successors TO
the deposed teachers, and Francis L. Car
dozo were paid their December salaries
yesterday by Discussing Officer {. c
Rogers.
The case was brought up by Auditor
Garrison. for fear that he might have to
pay double salaries 70 the deposed and
newly-appointed teachers and officers.

Teachers May File suits.

In view OF the decision in the Cardozo
case. it is possible that suits may be filed
by the above-named officers and teachers
who were not continued, claiming their
right to reinstatement and TO be paid
the salaries provided for their respective
positions. l have examined the opinion
Of the court in the Cardozo case. and it
does not appear 10 have any specific re-
lation to the salaries in question.
"Cardozo was Teappointed and con-
tinued in office by the board of educa-
ton, whereas the aforenamed officers
and teachers were not reappOinted or
continued by the board. 1t does not ap-
pear to me. however, 10 be advisable 10
withhold the payment OF the salaries OF
the newly-appointed officers and teachers
in question, on the probability Of suits
being filed by their predecessors. who
were not continued in Office by the
board, but who were dismissed or
dropped from the rolls by the board Of
education.

WILLING TO LET HIM DIE.
Singing Message Sent by Farmer
Worsted in Business Deal.

In the old colony town of Scituate,
Mass, once lived Deacon !, who
had yoke OF oxen he desired to
sell. The news reached the ears of
Farmer r, who lived in another
portion of the town, who was in want
of a pair. So he visited the deacon,
who met him with a gracious smile
and led him to the oxen, which were
chewing their cuds and to all appear
ances ready for any amount of toll.
After some bargaining a difference
OF five dollars remained. Finally the
deacon said: 81 am old and feeble,
and shall not live long, and five dol
lars will be of no account" so the
bargain was made. Farmer T. took
the oxen + ome.
They proved worthless, could not
work, and had been heated. He felt
provoked st being sold, and, seeing
a person the next day who was going
to the part of the town where the
deacon lived, said: You tell Deacon

Some genius will have to invent

ganoxie, the other day. If we had to
go back to the old way OF doing
things on the farm the whole world
would starve to death in a short
time. Now one man can do more
work on a farm than three could do
years ago, and still we are short on

as we are offering top wages and
many little side inducements 10 get
hands, and still we do not get them
This help problem is driving many
farmers to useing all kinds of devices
to get through with their work And
in places farmers are reducing the
acreage of grain raised each year for
the same reason. Now a great many
farmers are sowing their land down
to grass, and are keeping dairy cows
and selling milk. All these changes
are brought about to a certain extent
on account of the high price of farm
labor"

Perfect Cure by Cuticura.

My three children had eczema for
five months. A little sore would ap-
pear on the head and seemed very
itchy, increasing day after day. The
baby had had it about a week when
the second boy took the disease and
a few sores developed, then the third
boy took it. For the first three months
took them to the N Dispensary,
but they did not seem to improve.

Doctor found coffee was injuring

four years, with continued benefit. In
fact, he is now free from the long
train of ills that follow coffee drink

late an incident. At dinner we
gave, Doctor suggested we serve
Postum instead of ordinary coffee.

coffee, see you haven't forgotten how
to make it,
