NO PLACE ELR POLITICS.

Within the next few months the
board Of regents will meet for the
purpose of organizing and selecting
a secretary. 1t rests with the indi
vidual members on this board to in,
sist that political e%xigencies do not
dictate the appointment.
There should be no place in our ed.
ucational system for politics. The
secretary is an important position and
the man chosen should have special
ability and training for the job.
He should have some knowledge OF
educational work, although that is not
nearly as important as good execu,
tive ability.
ISe natural procedure to take
would be the selection of an educa.
tional commissioner hrst and then lei
him organize the Office. This would
fix responsibility in him and make for
harmonious administration.
Whether the board of regents is to
work out successfully or not depends
wholly on the executive force which
administers the law. If the appoint.
ments are dictated by politics, the
whole system will be a dreary failure
and a blot on the administration.
The Tribune hopes that the good ct
the educational institutions, rather
than political aspirations of any lodi-
vidual or set of individuals will die.
tate the organization of the execu.
tive force under the new board of re.
gents law.
Officials who insist on any other
way will commit political suicide.
The secretary of the board of re-
gents must not be a political place
hunter. He must be a man of proven
ability, even though it may be neces-
sary to go to some other state to find
him.

and W. C. Anderson, all members OF
parliament, and Bruce Glasier have
produced the impression abroad, says
Hyndman, that British socialists op,
pose the war almost to the extent OF
being pro-Ge-man. But he denied that
these men, whom he calls the "Scot
fish peace-at-any-price gang have
any influence outside of the Independ.
ent Labor party, and even in that, he
claims, their inflence is small. He
explains:
There is not a shadow of doubt
that the overwhelming majority of
workers in this island are on the side
of the war. Hundreds of thousands
of the 100000 soldiers now with the
colors are not unskilled and i'll paid
workers, but fro mthe ranks of trade
unionists. There are enlisted no few
e7 than 100000 miners, whose wages
at the time of their enlistment were
eight shillings a day"
