With ships not quite the same as

Though they just as proudly

Balboa saw from the isthmus heights
The same Pacific that flows today,
With a vision unaided by harbor

Nor a charted sea TO point the way.

With nothing behind, and all ahead:

is angered because the Herald is
calling the attention of the taxpayers
to the present conditions, which are
undoubtedly bad for children, par
ents and teachers. Why did the
school board stop ,4.e proposed voting
at the Methodist church? That
church stands as representative in
stitution in the city. II boasts of a
congregation perhaps as influential
as that of any other church. Yet the
school board asked as special favor
that the members refrain from voting
on the advisability of nine
months term. If this question is 20
be up to the taxpayers would not
such a vote be rather good start
toward securing some definite infor-
nation on the subject?
Was the school board afraid to al
low such a vote, fearing the result
would be antagonistic to its present
policy? These questions are asked
merely to call for some light on the
attitude taken by the board 1t does
not seem possible the members are
afraid to allow the question to be de-
cided in public meeting by body
which must essentially stand for
what is right and true and just. Yet
the voting was stopped on alleged
grounds that such move would re-
suit in dissension and turmoil in the
Dissension and turmoil are
elements to enter into
school life. but counted against
health and brain and development of
childish mind they certainly can not
tip the balance. Weighed against
public demand the action of the
school board seems not only childish,
but an action prominently selfish
and uncalled for.
Why have the school authorities
been holding star chamber sessions
recently? Are they ashamed of the
moves taken? Why was there
of principals at which perth
nent questions were asked relative to
given to newspapers? IT
the Herald prints an untruth; If the
Herald has been misinformed and
makes any statement which will not
bear the light of public opinion, then
the columns of this paper are open
for the publishing of any correction
But we do object, and
strenuously. too. TO a system of inqui-
sition which call unoffending
teachers on the carpet in private
session where they are subjected to
all of the tortures of the sweat box
merely because school authorities de-
sire to ascertain where newspaper re-
ceived certain information. Such
move is uncalled for and unneces-
sary. If the information given to the
is wrong the newspapers
will say so. If not the school au-
thorities have no right to question it.
They have no right to subject teach
ers TO a searching examination which
can result in nothing but friction and
i'll feeling.
All we ask, all the public asks, is
a definite promise that the schools
will be open for but nine months next
year. We understand that such a
move would be impossible now. All
plans have been laid for a 10 months
term and it would be detrimental to
all concerned to make any other ar
at this late stage of the
game. But the present school board
may satisfy the public by showing a
certain respect toward the public
wish.

of hobo. is not to be held lightly.
People who saw the shooting in the
Northern Pacific yards Friday de-
clare that the hobo could not leave
the train without taking chance
with his life They say the brake
man had no reason for shooting in
the reckless manner he did.
1t is difficult to see the necessity
of a brakeman carrying firearms.
Just such hot headed men as this
brakeman cause half the killings
which are recorded. They should
never carry gun. Firearms are
dangerous things even with level
headed men. but hey become verita-
Bile engines of death in possession of
quick-tempeied people.

GOOD BYE

She put her arms about my neck,
And crushed me to her breast:
Her daring boy was leaving home.
To make his way out west.
And with love eternal, true,
AS mothers love can be,
My mother clasped me to her heart
And said Goodbye" to me.
Upon my lips, upon my brow,
Upon my tangled hair,
She pressed those tender melting
lips,
Those lips beyond compare
And there within that close embrace.
My heart was beating free.
When mother cried, "God bless you,
son.
And said Goodbye" to me.
And now ! stand beside a mound,
All covered Ger with moss,
A grassy mound that hurts my heart,
AS though thory cross:
And underneath the mound she
sleeps.
Above her head fir.
My heart is broken as l try
To say Goodbye" to her.

 Those who sought diligently for the cause of the dilemma. were Inclined to hark back to those days when the Gov ernor was taking his time about nam ing the Text Book Commission. Be- cause the law allowed him until March 1. to name the members of the Commts sion. 1t seemed that he gauged his time by that date.
 The act was approved August Is 1907. He had, therefore, all the time between that date and March 1. In which to choose his Commission. But delaying the appointment until well up in February threw all the acts of that body late as matter of course The Commission apparently acted with reasonable dispatch.
 To illustrate the slowness of things. 1t has been scarcely week since some of the contracts between the State and the publishers were signed.

Letter to the Point Addressed to Cow ernor Cemer In Which Local Veterans Would Serve

Confederate Veterans of Montgomery have written Governor Conner voiun- teering to put down the strike in the Birmingham district. provided they are called out under the command of Maj. Gen. George P, Harrison. who is at the head of the United Confederate Vet. erans of Alabama.
 The letter declares that there is no intention of rehecting on the State troops at Birmingham. but that ham pered as they are they are not equal to the emergency in the Birmingham dis trict {"
 The letter says that Confederate vet erans are not opposed to unions. but that they hold the right to labor as a God given right and that no man has the right to forbid another mans la boring for his family.
 A copy of the letter was given out yesterday by one of the best known Confederate Veterans in Alabama. His name is withheld at his request. as he does not care for any newspaper noto- riety. The letter to the Geverner foi- lows;
