FREEDOM FOR THE SCHOOLS.

Superintendent Maxwell In the inter

hv heads of municipal departments
which The Tribune is publishing. calls
attention 10 the same danger attending
public education here which Professor
Moore emphasized in his vehemently
assailpd report. namely, its increasing
control 10y the political authorities. Mr..
Maxwell says that the most important
step which could he taken this year
would he the restoration TO the educa-
tional authorities of that independence
which the present organization was
intended To assure.
The real issue is an efficient organi-
Zation OF the educational system. Pro-
feSsor Moore perceived this and recon-
mended concentration of authority.
Dr. Maxwell no doubt perceives it.

way The right way is 10 reorganlze

feels 10 be essential to its welfare until
people are sure that il may safely be

 ''I thought this was what you want ed to see me about" commented old Governor Leslie, +-so I had a confer ence with the St Louis men who worked with me to put you in the race. But before I tell you any more about that I want to ask you just one question, Bill Strickland
 A moment of silence followed these words. Colonel Strickland held Gov ernor Leslie's eyes with his own in- quiringly.
 Do you want your son to be con- victed of the murder of Stamford Tucker?'' asked Governor Leslie.
 Good God, man!' cried Colonel Strickland. How can you ask such a thing"

 sS'It would be taken as a confession of his belief in his sons guilt. It would be the worst blow possible to the de
 
 protest against Colonel Strickland's withdrawal"
 ''There you areP' exclaimed old Les lie, turning to the candidate. "That was exactly the view I took of it you've got to consider your sons in terests above all else, Strickland And now I'll tell you what your St. Louis packers said. They authorized me to refuse to accept your with drawal as a candidate for the Demo cratic nomination for governor of Mis- souri. Aside from whatever personal regard they may have for you, they believe that, even as matters now stand, you're the strongest man in the state and that you've still got better fighting chance to win than any other man would have. You've got to stay in, Strickland
 "But, good Lord, man, how can fight to any purpose?" asked Colonel Strickland piteously.

CHAPTER XII.
A Strange Cry From

Strange Cry From Black Lips. OLD Governor Leslie hurried ho
 Nineveh from St. Louis the O day following Colonel Strtck-
 lands own return home. He came in response to an urgent tele- graphic summons from the candidate, whom he found in close conference with Major Gentry Dryden, one of Missouri's most famous criminal law yers. Colonel Todhunter was with them
 "We'll bring Tom through all right, governor" said Colonel Strickland, al- though his worn and worried face be- lied the brave words, "but in the mean time thought 1t best to get you down here so that could straighten myself out in the matter of my campaign for the nomination for governor with as little delay as possible
 What do you mean to do2' asked old Leslie.
 "I mean to withdraw from the race" replied Colonel Strickland. "I can't run, carrying this weight of Toms trouble It's got me beat right now. I won't ask my friends to make a hopeless fight"
 You'll stay right where you are" said Governor Leslie You're not re- sponsible for Toms reckless folly. and the Democratic voters in Missouri won't hold you responsible"
 '"The Yancey crowd will make 1t ap- pear that the killing of Stam Tucker was a political murder" Colonel Strickland answered. They're doing it already. Their newspapers are ham Hing the case along that line They've published thep story of the quarrel be- tween Tom and Stam Tucker the night we opened my campaign here in Nine veh and of their fight in the barroom the next day. They point out that old Eph Tucker is my bitterest political enemy and that he and his son were working tooth and nail for Stephen K Yancey and that this political feud has resulted in the assassination of Eph Fuckers son by my son. It's pretty black story handled that way, and it'll do me all sorts of harm throughout the State"
 ''They can't ignore the facts in the case,' retorted Governor Leslie. ''In the first place, as I understand it, your son himself doesn't know that it was he who shot Stam Tucker. He's bound to plead not guilty, and the prosecu- lions got to prove the fact of guilt. la the second place, the real reason for deadly trouble between Tom and Stan Tucker was the story told by that Dog gett girl and it's bearing upon their rivalry for the hand of Miss Mary Tod hunter. The Doggett story puts an en- tirely new light on the feud between the two boys"
 Not the way the Yancey organs are presenting it,'' said Colonel Strickland. 'tIt only serves to intensity the original trouble and to make a thrilling -mur- der story with what they call roman
