Lauds STAR for school Editorial.
o the Editor OF the Evening Star:

To the Editor OF the Evening star:
On behalf of the school children per-
NIT me to thank you for your editorial
Endorsement of the bills intended to re-
form the public school system Of our
city So far as I have seen. yours
was the first paper of the State wise
enough and brave enough to insist that
it is high time something be done.
Yesterday I heard someone ask sew
eral school principals questions as to
what the State board or State SUPER
intendent had been doing worthy of
mention. Not one of those present
could answer the question. Superin-
tendents and others under oath testi-
he'd to the committee that they had
contributed money to political organi-
cations for the purpose OF securing
their elections. Surely such should not
De in charge of our schools.
Is it any wonder that those who
nave gotten their positions this way
should oppose every reform suggested I?
The school men | have talked with
say the only ones opposing school re-
form that they have heard of are
those who could not get similar posi-
tions if it We're not for political pull
or because they are relatives to the
State board members or others in au-
thority.
Why should anyone interested in the
schools object to the State superin-
tendeht, who is a real educator, rather
thar n who Is a business man?
Would not a board of educators, such
as is suggested, conduct the schools
far better than the State board COM
posed of business men, even II they
did not use their positions to advance
the selfish interest of themselves or
friends?
Once more, let me thank the STAR
for your excellent editorial and express
the hope that other papers may learn
from your editorial. w. r. N.

THOSE RAILROAD MERGER BILLS.

oa HE true inwardness of the Fielder bills authorizing a merger
of the West Shore railroad with the New York Central, which
bill was sneaked through the Senate and defeated in the
Assembly, has been partly exposed. 1t is to obtain surreptitiously
from the State a valuable consideration involving an important
sacrifice of State interests. Senator Feder's explanation that the
bill involved a mere matter of bookkeeping would make it appear
that the Hudson senator was verdant and easily imposed on, which
il hardly the case with a lawyer of twentythree years standing.
But a legislator, whether lawyer or layman. should more closely
scrutinize a legislative bill before assuming responsibility for it,
The habit Of carelessly introducing bills of this character is easily
formed. too. and usually Identifies the introducer with the influences
and objects that his bills represent.

!! Draft.

!. President Taft viii send In his firsA
tarir message to Congress tomorrow.
This will deal not only with the re-
vision Of schedule K. but the general
tariff policy Of the Administration.
/! A special meeting Of the Cabinet was
called this morning to review the final
draft of the message, and to make some
minor corrections in the original draft.
The message was completed before the
President left for New York shortly at
ter noon. and now is ready for presenta-
ton to Congress.
For several days the summary of the
tariffs boards report on the wool
schedule has been in the. hands of the
President. This is made the basis for
the recommendations to Congress. No
recommendations were made by the
tariff board. That body scrupulously
avoided any suggestion, as to the
amount Of protection the wool industry
In this country should have.
A great mass Of figures has been pre-
scented by the board, however. showing
the difference in the cost of production
of the raw wool and the manufactured
product in this country and abroad. A
10, 000-word summary Of these findings
will be submitted to Congress by the
President along with his message.
