A BILL THAT SHOULD BE PRoMP'
" TURNED DOWN.

There has been offered in the Vir-
ginia house of delegates bill which
provides that no man shall be eligible
TO appointment as superintendent OF
schools unless he Is n citizen and a
voter of the district in which he is
to be appointed. No doubt this meas
IRE will receive strong support. large
ly on account of dissatisfaction in
certain places over the appointment OF
superintendent by the State board of
education last year. The average
citizen is inclined to be opposed on
general principles to the importing OF
an outsider" to al any local office.
consequently the legislator VINO de-
sires to support the bill viii have n
tender spot 10 play upon when called
en- to explain the situation TO his
constituents. And he win have behind
him those local politicians who look
upon all salaried public Offices as
prizes to be bestowed upon friends
and adherents.
All other things being equal. Of
course, local man ought to have the
preference when city or county pub
lie servant is to be named. In fact.
we believe. this policy should be fol-
lowed even in the selection of federal
Offices; every community Is better
pleased when one of its own citizens
Is made its postmaster or collector os
customs. But when "all other things"
are not equal. It would be ridiculous
and worse to say by law that only local
candidates for such position as super

s;dered-
To pass this bill would be 10 deal

iy the worst blow Il ever has receiv-
