We are not convinced that the vivid
imagination possessed by the editor
of The Day Book has discovered any
tangible facts upon which to pTedi-
cate the conclusion that big Bust
ness" controls the board of educa-
ton. We do not believe it a wise pO-
Icy, on the part Of The Day Book,
to drive public sentiment to a franzy
and invoke it in bitter accommodation
against the lawfully-cOnstituted
school authorities whenever that
body in the performance Of it's legal
functions does something that far
fetched and faT-gOing imagination
can, distOrt into reprehensible GER
tainty of an unknown future. Mr..
Cochran does not know that the ills
he so cleverly pictures on the can
vas of the future will ever have eX-

ter of course, that the destruction of
the Teachers Federation will mean
the surTendering of our school sys-
TEN to political grafters and spoils-
men. It does not follow as an newt
able conclusion that just because it
is possible for a facile pen in an edi-
toriaI sanctum to paint a word pic
ture of Jacob Loeb as a fiend incar-
nate, a devil with horns and clOVen
hoofs, that the caricature is true. So
far as we have been able to ascer-
tain, Mr.. Loeb has quite as COM
mendable a past as is enjoyed by the
majority of our good citizens. We do
not know that he has ever been
charged with having committed any
heinous offense against the morals
or principles of our people and gov
eminent, civil, military or religious,
nor has he ever revealed to his more
intimate associates, so far as we can
learn, any such fiendish character
