Arizona republican., 1918-03-24

the accusations of disloyalty which were made the pretext for pr. Blomes dismissal by the board of z education from the school. The friends of Dr. Bome, and believe all who know him confident that there be honest testimony against him. We believe his enemies think that any such testi mony is obtainable.
 The loyalty disloyalty of Dr. Bome is not really much of issue in this case. The hearing should be confined that. It having been established that he is loyal the hearing should be directed to an inquiry to why he was then dismissed That would result in investigation of the personal feeling of MT. Hennessey toward Dr. Blome a feeling under stand which ante dates the war; dates period since the civil war within which questions asked concerning the loyalty of American citizens.
 This is the more important part of the inquiry, far more important than the matter of fixing the status of Dr Bome. It is matter affecting every educational institution in the state. If 1t should transpire that Dr. Bome was victim of the personal animus of MT. Hennessey the head of every institu tion in the state would be in peril of the personal animus of members of the board is really to determine whether the heads of edu- cationa institutions hold their places by such slight tenure the fleeting favor of Hennessey any other member of educational board. If that is so the voters of Arizona be too quickly appraised of that situation.
