School Election.

The Board Of Education at its meet
ing last Friday night elected Prof. A.
c. Mute for another year as Superin-
teudent of the City Schools. Mr. Mute
filed an application for election for a
term Of three years, and we understand
refuses to accept the schools for one
year.
Now, we understand that the action
of the Board Of Education has not Civ
en- satisfaction, and that an election is
called TO be held next Tuesday, May 8,
1914, to get an expression from the
qualified white voters Of the corpora
ton OF Union City as to whether or not
the superintendent OF the city schools
should be elected for one or three years.
This is a public matter and should
be treated so. The election OF school
superintendent Tor term OF years is
not without precedent. But ACCESSIBILITY
OF the practice is another question.
Dealing with the matter in a general
way, without personal reference, we do
not believe the election Of a superin-
tendent for a term OF years is either
advisable or necessary. The school
term is one year, and the superintend-
emit should be elected annually. To
bind the taxpayers in a contract for
three years or more is TO do them an
injustice. Such contract is binding
as rule only on the part OF the tax
payers, and II for any cause it should
become necessary TO remove the super
intendent. the taxpayers are liable for
the payment OF the total amount OF the
contract for the term. In the present
case, II the city should make contract
Tor three years, at 1880 year, the
taxpayers would be held liable for the
sum OF So, 400, for which there exists
no security on the part Of the superin-
tendent except his personal guarantee
that his part Of the contract will be
fulfilled.
That the superintendent cannot do
his full duty to the schools without a
contract for q term Of years seems to US
to be utterly absurd. That any super
intendent should refuse to give his best
efforts to the schools because he cannot
bind the taxpayers in contract for a
term OF years should be sufficient rea.
son to show that he is not eligible or
that he is not a suitable man to take
the place Of superintendent.
The Board Of Education, each one Of
the members who voted against term
OF three years, stated these reasons in
substance last Friday night, each one
Of them declaring that be was in favor
81 the election OF Prof. Mute as super
intendent, and also favored the election
OF Mr.. Mute annually as long as he gave
us a good school. But they we're OPP
posed to the three-year term for any
superintendent, because the superinI
tendent is not held responsible in like
contract and ii is therefore unjust to
the taxpayers.
The great corporations elect their pres
idents as rule, we believe, annually,
and their superintendent and managers
in the same way. They do not give
them contracts for term Of years or
for life, and they show good judgment
in this practice. The railroads, the

tendents a term or life contracts?

Will Be Made in Some

Boston, March 30.-Orville Wright,
who was here Saturday, expressed the
opinion that it was not impossible to
make the round the world fight for
which 100000 has been offered in con-
nection with the Panama Pacific exposi-
ton.
Mr.. Wright said, however, that he did
not believe that the globe circuit coult
be made by any competitor who at
tempted to cross the Atlantic in fight,
as he believes this to be beyond the cap
ailities of present day machines.
Il do not say" said Mr.. Wright, ''that
the fight will be made, but that it is
within the range of possibility if the
contestant is willing to put in the nee
essary money for proper preparation.
The sum demanded will be large, for
supplies must be provided at the proper
points along the route.
$50 far as the Transatlantic prize of
$4,000 put up by Lord Northcliffe is
concerned, have no hesitation in saving
that it is absolutely safe from capture
for some years to come.
THAT the prize will be won eventually
do not doubt. Not only aeronautical
engines but the quality of fuel and i'm
provements in the design of the machine
are bound to come, and when they do
come increased radius of action will
naturally follow"

List of His Crimes.

Oakland, Calf, March 30.-"Sir"
Harry Westwood Cooper, bigamist and
forger, has been beguiling his prison
sentence in South Africa by making a
list Of as many of his crimes as he can
remember. A copy of this record was
received Friday by Chief Walter Peter
son of the Oakland (Cal.l police depart

have Cooper brought there to answer a
charge of bigamy. An outline of Coop

score of smaller ones.
Cooper, who says his real name is
Charles Ernest Chadwick, began his
matrimonial career in Sydney, n. S. w,
in 1895. A year later he took a biga-
nous wife in Brisbane, Queensland. In
1893, while serving term at San QUEEN

CHARACTER OF OUR COMMERCE.
Manufactures Now in Lead--Farn
Products Now Only 46 Per Cent.

Washington, March 30. Changing
character Of the commerce of the United
States and the occupations of American
people is indicated in a statement given
out Saturday by the department of com
merce on the notable features OF import
and export trade during the fiscal year
1913, compared with the trade of earlier
years. 1t is shown that agricultural
products, which formed in 1880 s4.3 per
cent. of the total domestic exports, were
in 1913 46.1 per cent. of the total Ex-
ports OF manufactures, exclusive of food
stuffs, which were in 1880 l4.7S per cent.
of the total, were in 1913 49.S per cent.
Exports OF agricultural products during
the fiscal year 1913 aggregated 1851
million dollars and exports of manufac-
lures considerably more than $1,000
100000.

Clark to Make Another

CANAL DEBATE
GOES MERRILY ON
Stevens of Minnesota Makes
an Effective Speech in
Support Of President

Washington, March 30.-Canal tolls
were again uppermost Saturday in Off
cial heads at Washington. There was,
however, a calmer atmosphere, as tre-
mendous storm has passed. The House
plunged energetically once more into
general debate on the pending bill. Gal
leries were crowded and attendance on
the floor was large. Members displayed
much spirit toward the proceedings.
Partisans applauded vociferously but, in
the main, the speaking was common
place. Representative Stevens OF Min
nesota, Republican, probably the best
informed member of the interstate com
merce committee, delivered a remark

attention He is one of the few Re-
publicans supporting Wilson. Mr.. Stew

PEELED one to the presidents side at this
juncture.
The debate probably is not enlighten
ing the House, but it is part of the
process for enlightening the country.
The shipment of speeches is already be-
ginning. With all the hullabaloo one
hears in the corridors about Speaker
Clark and President Wilson and an ir-
reparable breach in Democratic ranks,
it remains that many representative
win not make up his mind whether the
political situation is very bad or as good
as ever from a Democratic standpoint
till people out in the states have had
time to understand what it is all about
and begin to express opinions.
There is general agreement here that
the speaker is cutting sorry figure.
He is not dismayed at the result Of
the first round and is grinding away
on speech to be delivered presumably
Tuesday or Wednesday. Word comes
from his private office that the speaker
intends this to be the speech of his life.
The presidents supporters at the cap
itol are hammering the speaker merci
lessly, digging up his record to show
what consistent straddler he has been
in public life and how little of con-
structive character there is in his rec
ord. The president, however, is plainly
frownimg upon all this, for at the White
House Offices it was made known that
he harbored no ill.will toward Democrats
who opposed him in the House and
would expect all to unite promptly when
the present contest ~ over. the pfeSl-
dent seems to be thinking more about

ing just when there is great anxiety to
get through with the work Of Congress
and go home for the political campaign.
The Senate Saturday applied itself to
business. The army appropriation bill
was passed, also the military academy
bill. In the early afternoon the cotton
futures bill, enacted Friday, was re-
considered and the amendment, legal
izing pools, stricken out. Then the bill
was passed again.

ITALIANS HUGE SAVINGS.
Total Has More Than Quadrupled in
the Last 80 Years.

Rome, March 30.-Simon w. Straus,
president of the American Society for
Thrift, is studying methods of thrift
used in Italy.
He has been surprised to learn that in
the last 80 years savings in Italy have
more than quadrupled, having risen from
S26s, 100000 to 81 ,200,00o000.
The chief means of inducing thrift
are the ordinary savings banks, which
number about 200, with nearly 100000
depositors, whose deposits total $780,
10000, and the postofiice savings banks,
with an average of 100000 depositors,
whose savings amount to S450, 1000 900.
The remaining savings are held by CO.

savings departments attached to the

London, March 0.--Conseryative
morning papers asserted that Field Mar

Brigadier General Hubert Cough, com
mander of the third cavalry brigade, has
left Curragh for some unknown place

situation is unchanged.
What has been pronounced in Eng
land "the greatest crisis for statesman
ship in 800 years" simmered over Sun
day. Both houses Of Parliament at
London will train their heaviest guns
upon the whole complicated affair to-
day. Passions are running high and

customarily spend the week-ends are de-
serted. The party leaders are confer

ever may be the merits of their cam
paign, it seems to hold possibilities OF
vote-getting which the Conservatives
shy at.
The army order which Premier As
quith announced Saturday is generally
considered TO have been intended as a
sort of charter on which Field Marshal
French and General Ewart might be I'M
duced to remain in their positions. Colo
mel Seely's tenure in the office of the
war minister seems destined to be of
short continuance.
The Westminster Gazette and the
Daily Chronicle, foremost among the
Liberal papers, are saying that Colonel
Seely must relinquish his portfolio. The
name of John Burns is most discussed
as his probable successor. That dem
ocratic government could be carried to
such lengths as to give supervision OF
the army into the hands OF this sturdy
character who came into the limelight
first as a Labor agitator would have
been unthinkable a decade ago. Yet the
of the soldiers as on the
same plane with the officer in the char
ter rights and duties which the govern
ment proclaimed Saturday is long step
toward the same Ieveling of the classes.
