DETECTIVES ARE PROBING.

Vicksburg, Miss, March l5.-News
has reached Vlcksburg that detective
agency has been operating in nearby
towns attempting TO get evidence
against clerks in various department
stores and other concerns who may
have been dishonest in their methods,
and the news goes further to say that
representatives Of the agency have
been in Vicksburg comforting with
business men Of the city.
The general plan has been to lay
temptation before erks to test their
absolute .honesty-and in some i'll
stances the clerks have suocumbed to
temptation and pocketed sums of mon
ey-sometimes small, other times con
siderable.
Then according to the methods Of
the detective agency the clerks who
have fallen are put through kind OF
third degree and made to pay up
peculations.
The operations, which of course are
kept under cover as much as possible,
have nevertheless attracted consider
able attention.

happen to compose the Board, can Oh

There is no intention in this article
to reflect upon any member of the
Board, for they are all upright, intel
ligent patriotic citizens. VINO, we are
willing to admit, have the best inter
ests of the schools and the people at
heart; but we do think that the voters
at the polls on next Wednesday should
have both sides of this question pre-
sented to them, and we as interested
citizens of Americas have only sought
to argue our side of this case. We do
not belong to any class which has
any axe to grind, or any personal in
terest to be served; but we simply
give the voters our views of this mat
ter, leaving the question of settlement
entirely to them. If majority of our
population think this amendment an
improvement on the system which
new obtains, we have no criticism to
make and shall not wage any cam
paign against the passage of this
On the streets or else
where.
In conclusion we fail to see any ne
cessity for change, and can only &C
count for this movement by possible
apprehension of the majority that au
minority may happen
to develop in the Board, and speaking
in this connection of public safety
valves, we respectfully submit that
minorities are the safety valves of all
public institutions.

In the Sunday morning issue OF
your paper you carry an article head
ed THE PUBLIC SAFETY VALVE, >
and signed CITIZENS" which pur-
ports to explain an amendment to tle
Act Incorporating the Board of Pub
lie Education for the City of Ameri-
Gus.
Evidently certain citizens who are
in favor of this amendment are res
ponsiole for this publication and, as
We are other citizens who are oppos-
ed TO it, we desire to make further ex-
plantation.
Section first, so far as we can see,
is understandable, as we think that
every man elected to public office
should perform the duties imposed up
CT him, and in this instance we think
the Board of Public Education should
be allowed by law, to require strict
performance of duty by members OF
the Board. However, we cannot sup
port this section without supporting
Section three.
Section two prohibits the election o.
any person who may happen to have
a relative on the faculty of the pub
lie schools as close as a second cous-
in. While we think this is unjust ana
it will be carefully not
ed that this rule shall not apply to
any such relation that may exist at
the time of the passage of this ace,
nor to the rejection of any member on
the Board; nor shall the Board have
the power to enact any rule that will
any teacher now on the
faculty of the public schools, on ac-
count or relationship to any member
OF the Board, so long as such teacher
continues in the position now held by
him or her on the faculty. We would
like to inquire why this exception is
made.
Our most serious objection to this
however, is to Section No.

SHOPPERS FROu|C IN
NEW TRAFFIC LAWS

ATLANTA, Ca, Dec. 14.-Atlanta
Christmas shoppers had the frolic OF
their lives yesterday afternoon throng-
ing the curbstone for hours on White
hall between Hunter and Mitchell
streets, watching one harassed mount
&c policeman trying to enforce the
new city ordinance against Jay walk
ing"
You may not know it, but it is now
against the law to walk across he
street in downtown Atlanta except at
regular street crossings.
1t was the duty of the mounted po-
liceman to stop every newsboy who
darted from one side or the street to
another; every society bud who trip
ped daintily from curb to curb; every
hard headed business man in a hurry
who didn't see why he had to walk a
block around to go across thes treet,
and forst of all, every boy who wanted
to run back and forth just to worry
the policeman.
The crowds watched and yelled ana
whooped, while the good-natured off
Ger rode first this way, then that

with an arm full of bundles, and in

Gil for its approval; but in no case

ether authority, have the power or

late representatives of the people. We
can but think that this is a far pre-
forable system to that proposed in the
amendment; for under our system Of
government all affairs in which the
people are directly interested, should
be controlled by the people and not
by any particular boards. The City is
required by law for the purpose OF
maintaining the schools, and it would
seem that they as representatives Of
the people should have voice in the
selection of the men who are to dis
turse this fund In addition to this.
there is no question in which the
people so vitality interested, as educa-
ton, and should always have a voice,
or directly enforcible influence in the
system by which our educational fac
i,ities are employed.
1t will be readily seen by reading
Section 8, that the people and their
representatives are entirely eliminat-

less the Board of Education itself ap-

are forced to the conclusion that thisJI
