HOME TALENT in THE SCHOOLS.

local civic organization has resolved that in fill
ng the vacancy in the superintendency of schools,
The board should choose Washington resident. With
hat there will be general agreement, provided just
one condition is appended: that the Washingtonian
appointed snail be the best person available for the
lob.
superintendent of schools is a specialist He
must be scholar executive, diplomat, business man,
and number of other things that will occur readily
enough and he must be good at all Of them too. He
gets, in Washington, $4,000 year, which is good
deal like paying brakemans wages to the president
of the railroad.
Ii would be hard to find poorer reason for ap-
pointing any particular candidate to this difficult
post than that he is Washingtonian. That is not
entitled to any weight at all. There isn't town
anywhere that makes such rule concerning its pub
lie school organization Competent school heads are
about as migratory Methodist preachers; the good
ones among them are always getting their services
bid up by towns that want the best in the market.
That is why DR.. Davidson is leaving Washington.
1t is also why Washington will have to pay irst-class
wages if it gets frst-class services.

SOCIALIST PROTEST VOTE.

Those who are expressing the greatest aston
ishment now at the heavy increase in the Socialist
may be able next year to express equal astonsh
ment at its decrease, and with no more justification
in the one case than in the other.
The Socialist ticket has become a vehicle for
certain small proportion of men who do not approve
their own party's principal candidate, or group Of
candidates, but who yet cannot bring themselves to
vote great rival partys ticket. They do want to
vote their ticket in some respects, they Dick
out its candidates that suit them and drop the rest
of their ballot into the Socialist pot protest"
vote.
An unusual number of New York Democrats this
year were not willing to stand for Tammany and yet
did not wish to vote the whole Fusion ticket as was
made up There were also some Republicans unw-
ing to take the whole of the Fusion ticket yet having
no thought of voting Tammany. This is made strik-
ngly evident by the heavy shrinkage in total VOTE
And no doubt the cause which was reflected in the
diminished vote for the whole city also reflected
in the marked rise-on percentage basis-of the
Socialist vote.

The length of the sleeve is often a

of three varieties. When the waist is

vary from elbow length 90 three-quart-

over the top of the arms. Angel sleeves
