new SCHOOL BOARD
HOLDS MEETING.

The new Board of Education held an
informal meeting on Monday evening
for the purpose of discussing the school
situation and talking over generally
the methods and means of organizing
the new system during the coming
summer The following interview was
given out by Atty. Issac Cratic as a
result of the meeting:
II am authorized to say for the
board of education that it was the un-
animous opinion of the board that
there will be only one high school IN
the city of Manitowoc under the new
organization of the schools and the
board intends to make that high school
among one of the best in the state. Its
temporary location will be determined
later.
1t was the unanimous opinion of the
board at its meeting last night, that
city superintendent be Immediately
appointed, who has had practical eX-
perience, with success, as city super
intendent in cities as large as Manito-
voc and larger.
Within a week the board expects to
have city school superintendent APP
pointed and then with his aid to i'm
mediately proceed to engage teachers
not before.
At this meeting all of the seven
members of the boarC We're present.
The board will not organize until May
2nd when its officers will be named
and plans will be perfected for the be-
ginning of the new method OF work.
1t seems to be practically settled that
the new system will be inaugurated
with but one high school and that
every effort will be made to procure
competent persons for the position OF
principal of the high school and city
superintendent. The establishing OF
the new system is a difficult matter, as
it involves "A complete change from the
present system ano will mean large
amount of work for the members OF
the new board during the first few
months. The board, however has the
confidence of the people of the city
generally and it is tos'be hoped that
change may be etfeeted without any
hitch in the proceeding.

In addition to paying the railroads so
much a pound for the hauling of the
mails, the government in its unexam-
pied generosity also hands over So
100000 each year for the rental OF the
cars in which the mails are hauled.
A parallel case would be one which
would require a person to buy a rail
road ticket to a certain point, and
then pay fee for the privilege of sit
ting in the car while being transported
to the destination stamped on the
ticket.
The most ridiculous feature of the
car rental situation is yet to be told,
however While the entire cost of
construction and equipment does not
exceed $1,000 each, the government
pays an annual rental on these cars
of $3,575.10. The average lifetime Of
a mail car IS 10 years. For a $1,000
car the government pays S35,751 in
rentals.
Is there surprise that the postofhce
department is not self-sustaining I'M
der such business methods?

Congressional Fights.

With the adjournment of the state
legislature in Illinois there will at
once begin a campaign in the various
congressional districts which will be
marked ere the falling of the leaves
next November. 1t will be battles for
congressional nominations in practi-
cally all the districts of the state.
Illinois has been so helplessly gerry
wandered during the past few years
in favor of the republican party that
democrats can have little hope to elect
more than a very few congressman.
The battles will largely be between
the two wings of the republican party.
Joe Cannon, the shame of the country,
is a son of Illinois, and between Can
nonism and anti-Cannonism the whole
fabric is liable to be shot to pieces
Present members of congress from
Illinois are lining up for the speaker,
his ultimatum having long since gone
forth that non-support carries with It
the punishment Of neither pork nor
patronage. In this the speaker has
been aided by the occupant Of the
White house himself There is a we'll
defined plan on foot to name an anti
Cannon congressional nominee in
every district where a standpatter is
claiming the privilege of reelection.
If this is carried out there will be
seen in numerous districts the pref
test scraps the most ardent warrior
can ask for. and battles which will
make the Jeffries-JohnsOn affair look
like a church social will be raging all
over by next July.
Out of the ruck there will be stand
patters who will save their bacon
through the securing of a great deal
of pork" but in other districts there
will be new men among those who
will go UP to Washington next year.
Let the brethren proceed.

Wilson had given Mr.. Taft the basis
for this charge by disclaiming all

Having the consent of his chief to

1t is difficult, however, to see how
the situation could be improved by the

Gates the valuable resources which the
conservation policy of President Roose-

the bottom OF all the trouble, includ-
ing the dismissal of Pinchot, the diff

American Pensioners Abroad.

In reply to a letter from civil war
pens!oner inQuiring whether his pen
sion would be forfeited in case he
took up residence in a foreign coun-
try, the pension commissioner of
course answered in the negative. The
government does not concern itself as
TO the residence Of those who have
earned pensions in its service All it
wants TO know IS where they are IN
order that their checks may reach
them promptly. A pensioner living in
9 foreign country would not lose his
pension even By the outbreak of war
between that country and ours Pay
ments might ne interrupted, but there
would be no forfeiture.
AS a matter of fact the government
pays out large sums of money every
year to pensioners who have estab-
lished homes in other lands. In 1903,
for instance. s451, $40 of pension
money went to Canada, $99, $40 to Ger
many, S78,951 to Ireland, $63. 6S5 to
England, $27, 461 to Mexico, S12,36O to
SHETLAND and S1O,470 to Switzerland.
In the course of the year a total of
1868, 6o7 was paid to 5,O47 pensioners
living in 81 foreign countries.
The lesson is that Uncle Sam looks
after his defenders no matter where
they may be-
