THE HERO OF SANTIAGO.

With the death of Admiral Schley
the country has lost a picturesque
ard honored character. He was one
Of the few surviving sea fighters who
had served in the old navy as well as
in the new. Sea warfare was some
thing more than mathematics to such
men as he.
Admiral schley had long and
meritorious record as a naval officer
He was part Of Uncle Sans wooden
navy during the civil war and by his
competent and gallant work won rap
id advancement. During the long in
terval between the civil war and the
conflict with Spain he served the flag
on many trying occasions. Perhaps
his greatest achievement during that
period was his rescue Of the Greely
exploring party that had become lost
In the Arctic Two previous expe-
ditions had tried to rescue Greeley
but had failed.
But it is as the commander Of the
American fleet at the battle of santi-
ago that schiey is remembered and
beloved. He was the hero Of santi-
ago and strive though they did to
discredit him the naval bureaucrats
could not dim his glory. The critics
said the famous loop made by the
Brooklyn was mistake and that he
should be censured. But the coun-
try paid no attention to those peanut
headed office mariners. They were
not at Santiago and they had not seen
the black hulled Spanish battleships
emerge from the mouth of the har-
Dor. Schley was there and he was in
command. Whether he handled the
problem absolutely right or not mat
tered but little. He wiped the Span
ish fleet from off the sea and his own
fleet escaped without loss of men or
ships. That was enough. The coun-
try wanted results and was not inter-
ested in tactics.
BY a fortunate coincidence the
death of Admiral Schley was preced-
ed only a few days by a statement
from one Of his former critics and it
was in effect a confession that the
war time accusations made against
the old Sea Dog were baseless. In
stead of being classed as coward
for the manner in which'he man
oUvered the flagship Schley was COM
p.etely vindicated and praised for his
behavior at Santiago. It may be this
action will comfort the old admiral
o. his last voyage.

THE EDUCATIONAL BOARDS.

The county school superintendents
o. the state with the state superin-
tcndent at their head have for months
been carrying on a publicity cam
paigu to exalt their positions and the
work they do. The Huntington act.
passed by the last legislature and
which works for the further up
building Of the system, is heralded
as a wonderful thing for the rural
schools Of the state.
In this county and elsewhere in
the state some good men have been
chosen as members Of the auxiliary
board to work with the county super
irtendent in selecting district super
visors. As these boards have been
appointed the pictures Of the MEM
bers have been published in the
Portland papers and much ado has
been made over their proposed work.
But there is just one thing wrong
under the Huntington act. With the
limitations placed upon them these
boards are about as useful as would
be an aeroplane rudder on farm
wagon The boards should have
greater power. They should select
the county school superintendents az
well as the assistants who are sup
posed TO aid the superintendent in
their work. Why give a board the
power to assist in picking out the
underlings but deny it the power to
select the principal?
Our county schools will never be
placed upon a truly efficient basis
until a change is made in the man
ner OF selecting county superintend-
ents. A county school superintend-
ent should be selected for efficiency
as an educator-not for political con-
siderations. 1t is farcical the way we
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1911-10-03

now elect county superintendents.
Under the system the county super
intendent must be chosen from Una
t!lla county-regardless of whether
or not there are any good men in the
county who want the position. We
cannot expect to attain efficiency un.
der such a plan. a county super
iutendent should be chosen because
OF his ability-nothing else--and he
should be selected from wherever he
may be found, regardless of county
OF state lines. That is the way city
school superintendents are chosen
ana it is the only way to do if the
people are to get the best results
from the money expended.
Give the county educational boards
such power as they should really have
ana then it will be more worth while
to talk about them.

JULY BR|GHTENS
CROP PROSPECTS
Month of Rains Has Worked a Great
Transformation in Crop Outlook
For This Section.

July has been the best month for
this section, of any month this year.
The unusually hot weather of June
was broken the night Of July !, by a
good shower and a week later was eff
fectually broken by soaking rain that
fell for more than ten hours. Since
that time good rains have fallen every
two or three days. This morning an
other good slow rain fell and tonight
the month will pass away with Old
Earth thoroughly soaked and all kinds
of vegetation in a flourishing condition
When July was ushered in. this sec
ton Of Oklahoma faced the bluest
prospects experienced here in many
years. Fields Of corn were whitening

the end of July, this section faces the
rosiest crop prospect in many years
The corn crop has received the need

The New Mexico-Arizona statehood
bill will have consideration this week.
Senator Borah will oppose the judicial
recall feature of the bill on Friday and
