A New School Law Required.

Postponcment of the board of edu
cation meeting scheduled for tonight
for one week is explained on the
ground that there is no quorum in the
that FIVE of the nine members are
within reach In view of the peculiar
school situation much interest is mani
Tested in this departure from pro
gram In the search for causes it has
been suggested that the board has
taken cognizanee of the announced
purpose of Congress to adjourn on Sat
urday next If by then no legislation
Is enacted for the reorganization of
the board of education, the present
board is assured of continuity at least
until the next session in December. 1t
may, therefore, be the thought to post
pone any action looking to reorgani-
cation for the next school year until
the tenure of the board is determined
Whether this implies a purpose to
carry out the policy reached in Feb
ruary of making change in the su-
perintendeney is, of course, not to be
answered. Under the law as far as it
has been interpreted the term of the
superintendent definitely ends June 80,
there being no clause providing for
continuation until a successor is
named. Therefore, failure to re-elect
the superintendent may mean his de-
parture from the school system if the
board does not reconsider its vote and
definitely elect him for another term.
A decision on this point Of the con-
tinuity of the term failing q re-
election may be unattainable in sea
son TO effect the reorganization of the
schools.
The prospect is thus not a pleasant
one for those identified with the school
system. With great uncertainty as to
the tenure of the board and the super
intendent. and with no assurance of
larger appropriations for equipment,
buildings and pay, the outlook is de-
cidedly gloomy. If the District ap-
preparation bill does not become a
law and the old appropriations are con-
tinued by resolution, the public school
teachers win be compelled to pick up
their burden in September without any
relief from the overwork caused by
great congestion and with their pay
scale on the average below that Of un-
skilled labor.
To prevent this happening Congress
should surely at this session pass the
District appropriation bill and also the
proposed new school organic act. There
is stiH time before adjournment to
accomplish both.

Southern Contests at Chicago.

These votes are in contest at Chi
cago: Arkansas, Z; Florida, s; Geor-
gia, 15; Louisiana, IL; Mississippi, II;
South Carolina, II; Texas, 23; Vir-
ginia, Is. The sum total is 103. In a
close race at national convention

Ratification by Legislatures.

In passing yesterday upon the Ohio
referendum law, the United States Su-
preme Court settles definitely the suf-
fcieney Of the legislative votes for
the eighteenth and nineteenth amend
ments to the federal Constitution. The
court holds that only by two methads
can amendments be voted on by the
states. when they are submitted after
adoption by the House and Senate, by
the legislatures and by conventions
formally called in the states. This is
in strict accord with article V of the
Constitution, which provides as fol
lows:
"The Congress. whenever wo.thirds
of both houses shall deem it necessary,
shall propose amendments to this Con
stitution, or, on the application of the
legislatures of two-thirds of the sew
eral states, shall call a convention for
proposing amendments, which, in
either situation. shall be valid to al,
lhtents and purposes, as part of this
Constitution, when ratified by the leg
islaturcs of three fourths of the sev
eral states, or by conventions in three
fourths thereof. as the one or the other
mode of ratification may be proposed
by the Congress"
In the Ohio case the eighteenth
amendment was ratified by the l.gis.

Stampedes.


We are hearing great deal about
a stampede at Chicago. Probably too
much to make a stampede likely. Fore
warned is forearmed. Everybody will
be ON guard.
Senator johnson will be present with
the California delegation as an alter
nate. He will not, Of course, nomi-
nate himself or anybody else, but his
friends are reasonably certain to see
t,,at he gets a "whaek" at the conven.
ton from the platform. Will he be
able to sweep the prize in that way
into his sa"ki
Gov. Allen Of Kansas will present
the name Of Gen. Wood to the conven-
tien. He is an attractive man and
speaker, and curiosity is expressed a.
to what might happen if the conven.
tion declined to accept Gen. Wood
Might it not in the end turn to the
man who had presented him in elo-
quent terms' That is what happened
at Chicago just forty years ago, when
republican national convention re.
fused to nominate John Sherman and
turned to James A. Garfield, who had
presented Mr.. Sherman's name to the
convention in a speech Of much force
and entire sincerity.
There may be stampede at Chi
cago, but it is not likely to be pro
duced on conventional lines, or with
conventional means. A national con
vention is composed in the main OF
seasoned politicians, who as rule are
hard to handle.
