A Centenary Of Liberty.

In the food of centenaries observed
during this most memorial year one
Of the most important Is not receiving
the attention 1t merits. II Is that Of
the liberation Of South America from
the yoke OF Spain. This should be the
more observed by people OF the United
States for the reason that 1t was be-
cause Of our example that our sister
republics proclaimed their independ-
ence. An even greater reason perhaps
exists In the growth Of the pan-Ameri-
can idea and the closer bond constant
ly being established between all the
republics OF the new world.
1t is questionable IL the people of
the United States have ever realized
the Importance Of South American
trade or the desirabIIity of closer and
more amicable relations between our
own country and those of our sister
continent James G. Blaine caught the
vision and started a movement which
should have been followed up more
heartily and apprecIatively than 1t
was. Fortunately Elihu Root grasped
the Importance OF MIR. Blaine's effort
and by his trip through South America
and in other ways made up In some
degree for the neglect OF the interven-
Ing years.
Those who have not visited South
America and kept track Of its devel-
opment do not realize the strides it
has been taking or the wonderful fu-
ture before it. The rapid recent ad-
vancement OF cities like Rio de janet
70 has been a revelation to those who
have visited them in the past few
years.
The South American republics are
not only modelled after our own, but
they partake Of our spirit and in some
degree Of our progress and outlook
The centenary Of their independence
is therefore of peculiar interest to us.

a Woman Head OF Chicago Schools.
In choosing Mrs Ella r. Young as
superintendent of the public schools Of
the second largest city Of the country
the Chicago school board has occasion.
ed more comment than perhaps ever
attended the election OF school su-
perlntendent In the nations history
1t is significant that most OF the COM
ment has been Of an approving char
acter. Among the Chicago papers this
fact is in part accounted for by the
popularity and known efficiency Of
Mrs. Young, but In the remainder of
the country this fact could have had
little or no influence, simply because
1t was unknown, at least outside of
limited school circles. Therefore the
commentator must be ascribed to the
one consideration that a woman has
been given this responsible position.
It is recognized as logical outcome of
the ever larger part women have taken
as public school teachers.
Mrs. Young is sixty-four years old
and for forty-seven years has been a
teacher, having advanced step by step
from the lowest grade to the highest.
Ali Of this time has been spent in Chi
cago, most Of 1t in the public schools,
but part Of 1t as professor OF education
In the University of Chicago and part
Of 1t as principal OF the Chicago Nor
NAL school. Something OF the charac-
ter Of the woman may be judged from
the fact that she made up for her
lack OF a college education in odd mo-
ments after becoming a teacher and
studied for the degree Of doctor OF
philosophy, which she received when
forty-flve years old.
Women already have been school SUI
perlntendents in many western coun-
ties and In few states, but this is
the tirst time one has been placed at
the head Of the schools Of a great
city. The result OF the new departure
win therefore be watched with much
interest.

insurance Under the New Lava.

Practically ever since the new insur-
ance laws were placed on the New
York statute books as result of the
sweeping exposures of 1905 the insur-
ance interests have been seeking to have
them modified or repealed. The laws
were designed to protect policy holders
and the public interest generally by
correcting the abuses Of reckless
finance. The powerful New York COM
panies did not like them and often
complained at Albany that they were
too restrictive. Finally Governor
Hughes ordered an investigation into
the results Of the application Of these
laws.
The report of the investigation re-
Gently made public does not support
the contention Of the companies as to
the cause of the falling of in business
noted at New York headquarters. The
companies allege that the falling off
may be traced to the stringent laws,
but the investigators hold that it is
primarily due to the disclosures Of
1905. 1t is shown that the new laws
effected a reduction of nearly $1O,-
100000 In general expenses of the
companies in 1908 and that the pros
pect Of increasing economy and in
creasing returns to policy holders must
have a beneficial effect upon the bust
ness and enable the large companies
to recover from the disaster of 1905
without important modification Of the
present laws.

The auto driver who speeds up on
crowded highway Of travel Is more
than reckless, The courts have set
him down as upon murder bent. He
lets loose upon unsuspectlng people an
agent Of death But the autoist who
risks his own life and that Of his
friends Is simply reckless. He wants

perienced driver plunged over a bed
Of broken stone, ripped open a tire,

same time another driver swerved the

burst tire with the usual result and

In contrast with the railway engi-
neer, who has everything in his favor,
the chauffeur of the speeding auto Is
a mailman. The engineer has clear
track, warning signals. brakes and all
that. and yet he takes no chances. No
engineer Is allowed to haul train
over a strange piece of road. He has
nine chances to one Of going safely
where others have gone before, but
the company will not allow him to
risk one chance. Yet many autolsts

(SpecisD.-Aspecial session OF the county

reference to a number OF smallpox cases
il the extreme northwestern limits Of the
county, about twenty miles from this
city. In what is known as the Bluff Gen.

were called into the cases, pronounced It
smallpox and urged strict quarantine.
There was no organized county board OF
health and the village OF Cairo had no
jurisdiction. The afflicted ones therefore
went about their way as usual until others
complained, and upon the request OF Super
intendent Miller of Cairo, a special meeting
Of the board was held at which strict regu-
