Bee: As there is considerable con-
roversy on Just now In regard to the
filling OF the priucipalship at the high
school, IL you will lend me a little space
| want to say something in favor OF Miss
McHugh. who has done more for the high
school than anyone connected with Il for
many years. She has assumed more re
sponsibility on her shoulders and work II
harder to bring the school to the stand.
and II now holds than anyone, not even
excepting the former principals she has
been under, and let me tell you that /
never have seen a principal or teacher
that could walk into a school room and
by her mere presence quell riot and chaos
without uttering a word. as could she.
was pupil Tor four years in the
school, and think anyone who has ever
had anything to do with her will beai
with me in the statement that Miss Nc
Hugh Is without a doubt genius In her
work. and ] would unhesitatingly say that
she far excels Mrs. Ella Flagg Young
who is superintendent of the Chicago
schools. The work Of this woman has
been heralded- all over the world and IN
she
admire the promptness OF Profs. Wool
cry and Bernstein in Withdrawing their
names rs applicants for the place when
they found out that Miss McHugh would
take it, and II only goes TO prove my
statements that those who have come into
contact with her recognize her immense
worth. HARVEY HOBART.

Remembering the Maine.

The resurrection of the battleship
Maine from the depths OF Havana har-
Dor after thirteen years should serve
to recall to the public mind the impor-
tsnt part played by the late Thomas
B. Reed, then speaker of the house, in
the preliminary movement that sought
to prevent war with Spain and bring
to a peaceful settlement all differ
ences existing between that nation and
the United States. And IL is now be-
lieved that but for the deplorable ex-
plosion of the Maine Speaker r ICED
would have succeeded 10 his under
taking.
The current of events glides so
swiftly by as TO obscure for the time
some Of the most important mileposts
of contemporary history, and It does
no harm now and then to pause In the
rapid race and take acco unit OF what
has gone on. Various interests bore
down heavily on President Mckinley
during the third session Of the Fifty
fifth congress in an effort to compel
him to use armed Intervention, IL II
came to that. to force Spain to make
certain changes in Its system OF gov
erning Cuba. Against these combined
influences Speaker Reed hurled the
whole strength Of his great personality
and Official power, and not in vain,
until the report rang out from Havana
harbor that sent thrill through every
American heart and, for the time, in
famed the public mind so that 1t was
not capable OF taking the most dis
passionate view OF things. The presl-
dent, himself. was as International as
Mr.. Reed and was not hard to infiu-
ence on the side of restraint. Indeed,
he endured the taunts Of an impatient
people rather than rush into what he
believed to be an unnecessary war.
But Mr.. Reed did not believe that
the Spaniards blew up the Maine and
he never believed IT, He still chung
to the conviction that racial, tempera-
mental and climatic problems would
scarcely justify American occupation
of Cuba and urged against It. He
furthermore believed that Spain could,
by peaceful negotiations, be brought
to recognize every just demand which
could be made upon her in behalf of
Cuba. OF course, Mr., Reed may have
been wrong and the influences that
forced the declaration Of war right.
About that men probably always will
differ; nor will it matter, SO far as the
controversy is concerned, for all agree
that the outcome of the great crisis
in Cuba has helped humanity. The
point of interest now is to note the
part played by man whose place in
history will undoubtedly grow as time
goes on.

AN ARCHITECTS TRUsTP
IL a Fixed Scale of Prices "Unreason-
able Restraint"
RroOLlVn EaRla


The house of representatives investiga-
ton Of the cost OF erecting public buildings
has developed one very interesting ques-
ton as to the American Institute of Ar
chitects, to whom practically all those who
submit plans for federal buildings belong
Free competition has not been allowed for
years. Amateurs" are kept out by rule
admitting only such architects as the head
OF the department shall invite to compete.
Now It is brought out by investigation that
the American Institute of Architects abso-
lutely fixes the percentage on cost to be
demanded by it's architects, and whatever
the relative experience or ability OF mem
bers they must ask per cent, no more and
no less, or run the risk of being excluded
from the combination.
Is this unreasonable restraint of trade,
under the Sherman law? Perhaps the ques-
ton will be threshed out sooner or later.
1t is clearly restraint Of trade The archl-
tects occupy a middle position between the
employers Of labor and the laborers They
are less covered by the probable intent of
the Sherman law than building trades con-
tractors; but more within that probable
intent than carpenters and brcklayers
The anxiety of the government TO restrict
competition to experienced men" has led
to their having q virtual monopoly on
federal building. Yet any young man may
be genius, and plans that would make
for beauty, by a display Of wholesome orig
inality are thus likely to be rejected in ad-
vance without examination.
1t is conceivable that an architect OF
great skill might be DESTROYS Of having his
plans accepted for a government building
even II he were 10 get only per cent. or
per cent, or nothing at all in cash The
combination prohibits our taxpayers from
profiting by any such disposition. The 6
per cent pound Of flesh is exacted. A more
intricate issue than this with regard 10
architects has not come up under the
Sherman law; which seems to be rather
more of a puzzle with every new decision
