FRIDAY. FEB. "a. 1911
SUPERINTENDENT sPAID.

OVERNOR PENNEWILL made no mistake
~ in reappointing Mr.. A. R. Spaid of this city
TO be superintendent Of the rural schools of New
Castle county, and we say this without intending
any reflection upon any other teacher who may
have been mentioned for the position
Mr. Spaid il seems to us is the typical school
master His heart and soul are engaged in the
cause of educating the young, and he has proved
himself TO be, so far we know, a very efficient
superintendent Certainly he is fully alive to the
developments that are taking place in educational
work throughout the country and he realizes that
after ALL character is the chief object TO be kept
in mind in the training Of youth
For his services Superintendent Of the
Schools the salary of Mr. Spaid is entirely too
small. When we think OF officials who do little
or nothing and are we'll paid and then consider the
small salaries of such officials the Superinten-
dents Of Schools, the contrast does not speak we'll
for thelpeopie Of the State.
The Superintendent of Schools should be reev-
ed of any political worry in connection with his
position. In connection with the appointments IL
was mentioned that all three Of the superinten
dents are Republicans This makes il appear that
such positions are political Jobs TO be handed
around TO the faithful for real supposed politi-
cal service AS a consequence when the terms OF
the superintendent are nearing an end they have
10 begin TO wonder whether some person with
political pull is trying TO rout them and all that
sort OF thing. There is always possibility that
politics will play apart.
Fortunately, however, Governor Pennewill has
kept in mind the good OF the schools and appoint-
ed men to these places because of their fitness. But
how odd II must seem to persons really interested
IN educational work to think that the appoint
ments OF superintendent of schools should ever
be considered political pap That notion carried
TO ITS fullest extent would make the question Of
educating the young not one of whether it shall
be directed by men competent to do so. but
whether there shall be jobs for some who owe
allegiance TO the party in power.

THAT NEWARK LEASE.

HE EVENING JOURNAL cheerfully gave
space and prominence TO we'll written letter
representing the views of the Town Council Of
Newark concerning the recent lease of the water
and light plants OF that town to private cernora
non. In the discussion of this matter the mem
bers OF the Newark Town Council have as much
access 10 our columns as we ourselves have and
we are pleased that they made the statement al
though II was rather severe in asserting that we
have printed misleading and untrue statements
concerning the situation
The Town Councilmen we notice have crashed
the view that we had uppermoSt in mind-that Of
municipal ownership and opposition 10 the sur
render OF municipality owned property TO private
corporations We admit of course that there is a
difference Of opinion on this question The mem
bers OF the Town Council have right 10 hold aud
10 express their views and we surely have a right
10 ours. We had no thought Of imputng dis
honesty or anything of that kind TO the mem
pers OF the Newark Council but we hold that not
only TINS lease but any other lease which involves
Inc turning over of public municipal property 10
private company is against the public welfare AS
we see IT. Other towns Of the State. we have the
Town OF Smyrna among them in mind have sue
eesSiuliy conducted their lighting and water
plants and we think that Newark should be able
to DO the same.

When Malone began to reply, he adj
vanced down the aisle until he stood
directly facing Senator Hill. His was

In spite of themselves, Senators could
not help smiling at the eccentricity
of that personality. But they forgot
their smiles when. shaking an attenu-

was plainly frightened She had heard
that there had been a desperate battle
in the Senate between her father and
Snator Hill She rushed to her father,
overjoyed TO find him safe. Then her
fear came back to her. Papa" she
asked anxiously, the papers say that
Mr.. Hill and som of the other Senators
are bound 10 destroy you. What are you
going to do?"
We'll, you can ask Senator Jones,

But what are you going to do,
papa, If they attack you againg' the
little girl asked. TREMENDOUSLY.
Senator Malone cuddled his daugh-
ter to his breast He smiled tenderly
Then he answered:
We'll, in the army, ! always knew
how to take care of myself and my
command in the face OF the enemy, and
/ tell you now, my little girl, that your
papa will know how to take care Of
himself in the Senate. Nov, run and
get ready for dinner"
ComfOrted by his words, the child
went happily away. But her father
never had an opportunity to take care
of himself, for not again was he at

NEW NEWS OF YESTERDAY
The Senator Who Knew How
to Take Care of Himself
BY "BoIIand."

When General William Malone en-
tered the Unitel States Senate from
Virginia in March, 1881, he was al
ready nationally famous as THE Hero
OF tho Crater" a title which he gain
ed by his bravery as a Confederate
General In the fighting that took place

winter Of 1865

Senate by the faction Of the Virginia
Democracy known as tho Readiusters,
who favored partial or conditional
population Of the State debt But CO.
incident with the beginning of his term
as Senator he allied himself with the
Republicans, and was assigned a seat
in the rear row upon the Republican
side of the chamber.
He was an animated skeleton; a lit
tie over medium height, there seemed
to be not an ounce of spare flesh upon
his body. He had a bushy head of
hair large. dark eyes. and voice
that was thin and piping. but never
! theless clear And certain peculiari-
! ties of dress accentuated his physical
/ appearance. His shirt front was

describe the kind Of collar which he
wore. Il semed to be a combination
of lace, turnover and Old-fashioned
| stock. Instead Of cuffs, his wrists
were covered by delicate draperies Of
lace He wore a waistcoat of peculiar
make, double-breasted and drawn In
tightly al the waist His trousers SEEM

swelling until they were VI a balloon
like formation at the knees, they tap
cred down to a very tight adjustment
at the ankles. His coat was a sort of
mixture of the military frock and the
civilian frock coat He always wore a
military soft felt hat
Angered by his allegiance with the
Republicans, some of the Senators
upon the Democratic side. especially
from the South. decided to make at
lacks upon Malone soon after he had
entered the Senate. Senator Benjamin
II. Hill Of Georgia was chosen to lead
the assault. Hill possessed a voice that
seemed TO sound the diapason of hui

hue and cry is caused by citizens who we're in
ierested stockholders otherwise in the COM
pany which failed to get the contract. In other
worss, as we take it, it is cry Of the losers
against the winners
The Journal, however, is not concerned in the
rivalry of the two companies Our position is
that Newark should be able TO retain its own
plants and conduct them that the people would
get the benefit and not the stockholders of pri-
vae corporation We are entirely willing 10 let
the clans of the rival companies hght il cut among
themselves. The Journal would favor neither
company.
We suggest, however as there is difference of
opinion the matter and serious objections
at this late day the Councmen say, have
been made TO the lease, that the proper method Of
arriving at conclusion would be to submit the
matter to a referendum of the qualified voters Of
tie town.
