Mrs Peixotto's Reinstatement.

The Board of Education which holds that wives
NAV not become mothers and remain school teach
ers has received decided rebuke through Justice
Seabury's decision requiring it at once to renstate
Mrs Bridget c. Pexotto, dismissed for neglect or
duty" That neglect of duty was her absence to
bear a child which deemed by majority or
the hoard sufficient to warrant her dismissal though
she had been faithful and unusually able teacher
for eighteen years.
The weakness of such position is Thoroughly
exposed in Justice Seabury's opinion. married
women" he says. "being lawfully employed as
teachers and excusabe for absence caused by per
sonal Illness the idea that, because the Illness re-
suting in absence is caused by maternity, it there
fore becomes neglect of duty is repugnant to law
and good morals
1t is to be hoped the other members of the board
will adopt the attitude of Mr. Abraham Stern, chair
man of the committee which recommended this
mothers dismissal. He is willing to regard this as
a final settlement Of the issue and is against an ap-
peal Of the case There should be no appeal Ihere

A TEACHER FOR MIR. CHURCHILL
Who Wants to See Him Reappointed
to the School Board.
To the Editor OF The Tribune

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: II Is being said that prominent
Republicans are urging Mayor Kline not
TO reappoint Mr.. Churchill as a member
OF the Board OF Education. nor his friends
either. l wonder II II is true that promi-
nent Republicans are anxious to discredit
their party In the eyes of the teachers
OF the city and in the eyes of many
friends Of education also. For a year
now Mr.. Churchill has given his entire
time to the interests of the city schools
and has served without pay OF any kind
rare thing In these days for a poor
man to give up his business interests to
serve the public in this way. He has
made some mistakes. too; at least. hope
so, for he would not be human otherwise,
but he has been of great service to the
city schools. For one thing, one can go
into his office and be sure OF a reasonable
degree Of courtesy and consideration.
That is a great thing in itself to be a
source of inspiration and good feeling.
or course, we all know that Mr.. Max
we'll Is a man OF decided ability-of dis
tlngushed ability almost-and yet 1t Is
hardly for the best for the most able OF
men to have their own way all the time.

Uniformity in Senate Elections.

Congress ought to pass at once law regulating
the methods Of electing United States Senators.
Under the Seventeenth Amendment to the Constitu-
ton the states now left free to make their own
statutes regulating the time, place and manner OF
such elections, except that they shall be by direct
popular vote. Few states have 80 far passed laws
directing how and when Senators shall be chosen,
and in Alabama there is warm contention whether
the Governor may appoint to fill existing va
cancy pending a popular election, or must wait
until he is authorized by the Legislature to exercise
that power.
In Maryland, too where Senator was chosen
on November to serve out the unexpred term OF
Isidor Rayner the point has been raised that TIC
new amendment does not, by its own stipuatons
apply to a term filled by legislative action before
the amendment was ratified Congress should In
terpret the amendment and lay down rule Of pro
cedure in filling Senate vacancies which will apply
uniformly In all the states

joying more of rest than did Mr. Hyde, on which

THE MEXICAN ISSUE
A Wilson Critic Thinks 1t Lies Be-

Sir: An English alien with something
of the contempt that Thomas Carlyle
entertained for cant and humbug wonders
II some means might not be devised OF
set ling the present absurd and stupidity
dilatory negotiations between Wilson and
Huerta.
OF necessity one presupposes that
Americas interest in Mexico is not pri-
marily religious, or even phlanthroplc.
Consequently, some other motive must be
ascribed We all understand that GER
tain American capitalists have economic
interests In Mexico, and that these inter-
ests are being menaced by certain con-
cessions made by Mexico's provisional
government lG.ctatorship) to English
capitalists.
We should not argue about the precise
nationality OF capitalists. as capital has
long been admitted to be cosmopolitan.
1t matters little whether Lord Cowdray
or John ID. Rockefeller is the precise de-
nomination of the real issue, or whether
so-called English or American or what
not issues are involved.
The obvious fact seems to be that cer-
tain interests of American capitalists are
being persistently lobbied at Washington
and the White House. In this scramble
for so-called concessions the English capt.
talsts seem to have won. Moreover, their
victory has been gained by expert diplo-
matte conversations with the despot-
Huerta. England has joint interests with

Civic Bodies and Civic Welfare.

Every community, says somewhat acrid philos-
opher is as well governed as it deserves to be- The
unfattering epigram is provoked by the notorious
neglect Of many citizens to take any intelligent or
active interest in politics. Perhaps Of all important
places New York has been most the subject Of that
Indictment. 1t is said that New Workers will not
take the trouble to improve their government be-
they can still make more money and get more fun
out of life here than they anywhere else in the
world
The indictment Is exaggerated, no doubt. Yet 1t
has sufficient basis Of truth to make 1t desirable
to increase by all legitimate means popular nfor-
nation public topics and popular appreciation Of
civic interests. On that account we should welcome
the growth of properly conducted civic organiza-
tions. On more than one occasion the influence Of
the Chamber of Commerce has been of immense
value to this city. The Merchants Association has
also made itself conspicuous by its activities in be-
half of business interests and the general welfare
Of taxpayers; and is seeking to extend its work
in the direction of securing closer cooperation be-
tween citizens and city officials.
It will not escape the notice of those who are
promoting these commendable ends that everything
depends upon keeping such organizations purely
civic and nonpartisan. Once let a civic body be
suspected Of partisanship and 1t becomes mere pO-
lltical machine The strength Of such organizations
lies in the confidence of the public that they are
honestly seeking nothing but the public good Thus
