Mr.. Stuart states his position to

ISSUE STATEMENT
Union Street Instructors Declare the
School Board Has Not Kept
It's Promise.

A delegation OF the teachers In the
Union Street negro school, which
went On strike Tuesday, visited the
Daily Press Office yesterday and ask
ed that the following statement be
published:
Hampton. Va. Nov. IS, 1910.
Editor Daily Press
Please allow us space In your val
liable paper to correct an erroneous
impression made by the article pub
lished in the paper this morning.
First. the teachers OF Union Street
School have not signed contract for
the present school term, and the pres
ent set of teachers. some OF whom
have been teaching at this same
school for six success sive terms, have
never signed a contract, save in one
instance. when the teachers Were
compelled to contribute one per cent.
for pension fund. making the pay
500 20. Furthermore. four years az"
the teachers received $4,000 per
month.
The board promised to raise the
salary s2.50> each year until living
wages were received. Ii was raised
one year and stopped. Each year the
teachers expect raise and never
know until the first months money
Is received.
About the facilities, there is not
map or chart. except contributed by
the patrons. There is no water in
the building and the neighbors after
supplying water for twenty years alb
solutely refused this year. Out OF
the pitiful salary the teachers have
to buy desk books. subscribe to mag
azines and find materials to make a
creditable showing. that our work
may compare favOrably with the 9th
err schools. That it does compare
favorably. IL demonstrated by the
fact that favorable comments and
congratulations, have been made by
some of the best educators in the
State.
We feel that the public is fair
minded and generous enough to see
that the action on the teachers part
is justifiable.
Respectfully.

COUNTY OFFICERS LOOKED
AFTER THEIR FENCES.

II begins 10 look very much like
the amendment to the State consti'
tuition permitting county treasurers
and commissioners Of revenue to sue
coed themselves has been ratified by
n small majority. With a few coun-
ties to be heard from. the amendment
has margin OF more than 500 votes
In its favcr. and while this may be
reduced. It liz hardly probable thst
II will be overcome entirely by the
returns yet to be received. On the
ether hand. the amendment eliminat-
ing the present restriction as to the
tenure of Office OF the city treasurers
and commissioners, is defeated by
from 200 to 1.400 majority.
This result Is distinct disappoint'
ment to this paper. We are salts fed
that the best interests OF the State
demanded the defeat of both OF these
amendments. Moreover II one OF
them had to be adopted, we would
have very much preferred that the
one be the amendment applying to
city officers. II Is easy to under
stand. however. why the larger vo'e
went 10 the amendment which will
keep two hundred county officers In
their Jobs for indefinite periods.
There are comparatively few city
treasurers and commissioners and as
far as we have heard. the city o"'-
GERS made no campaign in behalf OF
the amendments. Certainly here in
Newport News the officers kept hand :
of and permitted the people TO vote
as they pleased. Not so with the
county officials. In most instances
we believe. and In some instances
we know. county treasures and com
missioncrs made active campaigns
for the amendments. bringing TO bear
all the influence they could exert
personally and politically. And taS
treasureFs and commits sioners OF the
counties are powers. both personally
and politically. They are in closer
personal touch xith the voters thar
The city officers. and have grea'e'
opportunities for acquiring and using
power than the men who hoid thS

Thus the very power which tis

about the abolition Of the restriction
