these. But the truculent members
of the board withstood every at

refused to confer with committees,
to state their side to tribunals, or TO
receive public petitions. The mayor
OF the city refused TO use his in
fluence toward securing any COM
phance with these community de-
mands.
Finally the president of the board
who had supported Mr.. Montgomery
throughout, resigned, hoping to set
a good example TO his colleagues
They declined to follow the example
and were thus left in undisputed
control OF the situation. Not many
days after this. and while the eff
forts in his behalf were still in pro-
gress, Mr.. Montgomery brought the
personal side OF the fight to an end
by handing in an immediate resig-
nation. He left the city shortly after
to enter into business.
Tie net results of what is describ-
ed as the bitterest contest ever
waged in the city are: The loss Of
a superintendent whose administra-
ton was undeniably OF a very eff

the schools for some years to come.
and the personal triumph OF two
men who apparently feel it neces-
sary for their peace OF mind 20 con-

SO long as school boards find
themselves able to remove superin-
tendents in this manner. so long as
local city politics outweigh all con-
siderations Of personal worth and
efficiency. 80 long as community
opinion expressed through 80 many

JUDGE MYERS, THE POLITICIAN,
VERSUS JUDGE MYERS, JURIST.

That Keynote" speech Of Judge Quincy A. Myers
before the republican convention last week due
the reception that has received from the state
board finance. reminds OF what they used to
call black republican lies back in the SOS. Myers,
the politician overrung Myers the judge. for political
effect, shows how far the republicans willing to
so issue; either that it
the unreliabiiity OF republican judges.
In mis- keynote speech Judge Myers undertook to
Indiana out Of debt and specify state debts
unpaid, he gave what appears have been list
claims which himself had held invalid while he
the supreme bench Perhaps Judge Myers
would like have it appear that he paid those debts
by his decision and is that he rendered them
non-payabe but ne ought TO have said what he meant
being jurst rather than seek pretend that they
still a charge against the commonwealth.
The Purdue bonds which also gave the judge
pain. also evidence lack OF technical knowl
edge-or else a stack Of political dishonesty-on his
part These so-called bonds amounting to S340, 900
not bonds at all but more in the nature OF trust
fund created by with the state OF Indiana
trustee with Purdue university beneficiary at the
rate OF i've per cent annually the above amount
Judge Myers this well he have
known Of the other claims wiped by decision of
the supreme court while was bench. but
seemingly when it talking republican politics
such things do Depending upon his sand
ing because an ex-judge Of the supreme court it
presumed. suppose. that anything ne might
would pass unchalenged Republican anticpations
run the effect appears that by standing
up who has held a prominent position public life
and letting him do the o. p. prevarcating. 1t will
he sure to stick will dare TO question IT,
Are we to have another campaign OF black repub-
lies like that OF 1884 where the term originated?

The most obvious military lesson taught by the ex-
OF soldiers in Mexico has been the need Of
good aeroplanes our army aviators themselves seem
to deserve criticism; they have done we'll with the
equipment they provided with. But that equip
proves to have been inefficient even for such

country
The defect is being rernedied. II might have
