THE SCHOOL ELECTION.

We notice thata call has been Issued
held in the annex OF the Ninth ward
schoolhouse for the purpose of norni.
mating n candidate for school trustee
for the First precinct. We hope the
voters will turn out and take an i'm
terest in this election All WHO favor
bipartisan ticket are invited to
the convention referred to. The cleo
ton is not Very far off now, and 1t is
time that the matter be taken up by
the voters.
If there is any election that should be
conducted on non partisan lines 1t is
an election of school trustees. The
schools should NOT be the arena of
political contests. Efficiency aud faith
funess are the qualities that should
govern in the selection OF school boards.
AT the last election strenuous efforts
We're made to turn the schools over to
the political clique thai does not recog
nize the responsibility of the servants
of The people to the people--a clique
that breaches the doctrine that public
officers are merely the tools of political
losses. The people decided against the
prostitution of The schools at that time,
and we hope they will do so again,
should another effort in that direction

and vote for them. A school election
is us important as any other election.

PROGRESS IN RUSSIA.

There are some signs Of progress in
Russia. The recognition of the Douma
by the government Is one of them.
few days ago the prime minister
was questioned in London regarding
the plans of his government with re-
gard to the Balkan situation, and he.
replied that no formal announcement
could he made until after the reas-
serubling OF the Douma. The Russian
minister of finance has declared that
he can make no detailed estimate of
the financial needs of the government
until the Douma has been consulted.
And the Russian minister OF marine
has formally stated that the program
for rebuilding the Russian navy can
not be determined until the Douma
has been consulted. This proves that
the representative assembly in Rus
hands of the government. 1t COM
mands recognition as power to be
reckoned with.
This is still more apparent in the
reinstatement of De Witte, III a posi-
ton of trust Dc Witte. after signal
service rendered the country at Ports,
mouth when the peace treaty with la
pan was negotiated, became the Cars
confidential adviser and persuaded him
that the salvation OF the country de-
handed representative government
'rheu the Douma was called together.
But that body was too radical for the
Car and he dissolved it. Count tic
Wittc lost the confidence of the Ruler
and had to retire to private life. His
recall to public life ut this time indt
Gates that the Car has changed his
views and now believes in the success
OF representatives government in Russia.
1t means that the Gear recognizes the
necessity of listening to public opinion
and that he is learning the lessons OF
constitutional form of government.

For fifty years or so many quiet,

soaed expeditions of the injustice in
volyed in depriving women of the right
to vote. As the sole result of all the
trouble taken by these quiet. thoughts
full, irreproachable, elderly. perfect
ladies was that they were called the
shrieking sisterhood.'' Two or three
years ago. other ladies. anxious to
vote, came forward and have gone
around literally shrieking: and the re-
suit is that already their desire is
treated as Il matter of practical poll
tics. and quite urgent one at that.
What a pretty light all this throws

the animals by taking reasonable
animals as their label. And yet the
light does not seem to have enlightened
the brilliantly reasonable animals
which write for-ths press. Invariably,

PRESIDENT ELIOT.

The retirement OF President Eliot
from Harvard University next spring,
will leave Il vacancy that 1t wal be
difficult to fill.
Since his accession to the presidency
of that institution. it has become the
foremost in the United States
Tho reason was Well stated by the
graduates OF Harvard in addressing Mr.
Eliot on his 10Th birthday. on that oc-
casion they said with prophetic In
sight you anticipated tho movements of
thought and life: your face was toward
the coming day And herein consist
ed. as We believe, his main qualiiica-
tons as Il leader.
He was among the first TO adopt the
elective system against the opposition
gof those who supposed true academic
culture to consist in Latin, Greek. and
mathematics--thc former sacred trinity
of oxford and Cambridge He foresaw
th,, old hard and fast curriculum was
doomed with the development of scien-.
titic research IN many branches, with
the duckenlng interest in historical
studies and economics in the ine arts,
and In modern languages. Under the
elective system Of Harvard the student
Is allowed unrestricted range in the
choice Of courses; the professors aca-
demic freedom has likewise been sub
iect to only two limitations, those Of
courtesy and honor
Moreover, the high success of Mi.
| Eliot Is due in part to the liberal prin-
clple he has followed In the choice of
says q contemporary reviewer. that
suspicion or dread of unusual inteli-
gcnce. that predilection for mediocrity,
which marks some of our heads OF
universities. He has selected the ablest
men lie could nnd, whether graduates
OF Harvard or not, and Harvard has
| thus escaped the blight of inbroeGing
which two or three decades ago aft
a,cted Yale so severely. And all these
| policies have been carried out With
wonderful executive sklll-with unex-
| ampled grasp Of detail, with foresight.
! patience, steadiness, and tolerance
Great men prefer to surround them
| selves with those who are great. while
metiocrity or despotism is jealous of
real ability And though Harvard is the
| Oldest has the longest tradition of cul-
4 ture, and is at the intellectual center of
| the Union, yet to these advantages
must be added man able to grasp the
| situation before a success like that
which has followed our foremost Amer
lean university can be attained.

PRONUNCIATION OF NEW YORK
Chicago Record Herald.


To the unframed ear of an English
man New York" as it is pronounced
by New Workers sounds Moo Yok"
The New York Times admits the
MOO" but demurs to "Yok." II de-
nounces this misrepresentation of the
pure accent of the city as a SANDER.
True. it says, vast numbers of us
reduce the r in York and in many
another word to small and mean es-
tate. but even when it entirely disap
pears there is always something to
mark its absence, though 1t he only a
prolongation OF the o. What those OF
US who are careless or not careful
say Is much more like 'Yo-ul1' than
like 'Yok, and perhaps the other ex-
tremc Of a trilled and emphasized r.
is not much to be preferred to our
Slurring treatment Of the letter"
Chicagoan would choke in an attempt
10 pronounce New like few" He
would heartily indorse the New York
custom with regard to the first part
Of the city's name. But he docs not
experience the same difficulty with the
York" that affiicts the dweilers in
Manhattan. Without going to the en-
tent Of triil he does sound the let
ter. No one could possibly mistake his
pronunciation for ''Yok'' or ''Yo- uk.H
