Mr.. Cannon's Caution.

Mr.. Cannon is veteran in years and
IN the public service. He has been a
close observer of the ups and downs of
politics for a period of half a century,
nearly forty years OF the time as a rep
resentative in Congress. His appraise-
ment OF political situation, therefore,
is worth attention.
Speaking in Chicago Tuesday night at
a meeting of the Illinois Manufacturers
Association, Mr.. Cannon said:
1T is 100 soon to condemn the demo-
Gratis outright for their policies. They
have two years more before their case
will be tried by the people, who may
then reverse the engine"
1t is too soon. The rosy calculation
of too rosy republicans is that such
bull moosers as did not return TO their
Affiliations this year will do SO two
years hence, and that thus. reunited.
the republican party will win.
experimenting this is a calculation
that one of the results of the recent
elections will be a split in the demo-

The republicans would do we'll to

be their loss and the effect politically
may extend beyond the state. Their

lars unexampled
The republicans will he on trial in
Congress. Without the power to shape
measures in. either house, they yet must
show their hands in both whenever the
opportunity presents itself. They can
not afford to let anything go by de-

well led on Capitol Hill. The rules will

Last month the republicans greatly
improved their general position, but by
no means made certain the result of
the next presidential campaign. What
they may do in the next two years is
quite as important as what the demo-
Gratis may do.

The Public School Organization.

Representative Pages proposition to
place the Districts schools under the
direct jurisdiction of the Commission
ers is a move in the right direction.
The public educational system should
never have been taken from the control
of the municipal administration and
placed under the charge of the court
through the power of appointment of
trustees. The Star protested at the
time against this innovation. for which
there was no warrant or excuse. and
since then has continued from time to
time to urge their restoration to the
proper authority.
There is, however, no apparent rea
son for survey of the school system
looking to a general overhauling and
reorganization. other than the single
change suggested by Mr. Page. The
school administration is now smoothly
effective, and the schools themselves
are doing as good work as the re-
stricted appropriations permit. Every
investigation stirs the system to the
depths and seriously checks the teach
ing work and lessons the efficiency of
the force.
When bad conditions are known to
exist that cannot be otherwise cor
rected a congressional inquiry is nee
essary. but such conditions are not prev
alent, as far as the public is aware
There is no evidence of anything wrong
that the board of education itself can
not remedy. A congressional inquiry
with its demoralizing agitations, should
be the last resource. and no cause ap-
pears at present for. such a drastic
measure.
