f To say that ilier is a Fing member of tbfl city rounv-il who has uof the fullest interests of the public pchools of llamniond at Lart would b sayinp eomo thins t'lat ! not triio. and because of thin interest in 'heir ittn hojs and v;irs, we bol.etti that, the alder men at the council sessicci thh; evening should ask for 'he retinations of the inembeis of the Koa"d of lduoation of Hammond, aud wipe the jlatc cle?n. "j"Tho nasty imbroglio in which ih school hoard tt tie city of Hammond. fter years of political jobbing, finds itself is extremely unfortunate for the city school. To speak plainly , it ftiaks to high heaven. It caati? as'ieriious on the just and the unjust alike, it ire. iies a d ."tractive criticism, li is Prussian in Us t nd enci3. It does thing!? it li tie blinds down that ought to be done out in the ojxn. (f An appeal b men tor whom it entertains th hiche?! n'spetr wyp made to this newspapff after the MePanie's abrogation and the refusal of the Hoard of Ihluca'ion to ifconpider thi-i McElroy resignation, to put on the soft pedal lest the schoois be further hurt. This i' regrets it cannot do. It would be like putting salve tui a festering sore instead of '.is liter the knife that hurts or.ee but Cu'- deep. The sore would be still there. f"This paper has a duir to it.i readers to which it would ivo e recreant in pointing o:'. that the men who ate responsible for the school eontretemps yet reraa-n in the saddle. They are still vested in authority ar.d clothed in power until the ciry council a.-kn for their resignations. Two of these men have been lor.; nough on the Board lo know then- was something vitally wrong in the way politics was bing dragged into the school system and smeared all over it. If they didn't, it is no credit to them to be ignorant. The third, Mr. G. L. Smith , who is as honest in convictions as tho day is long, is a new appointee and has no knowledge et the secret taach'naf ions of the cabal which for yea, a h:-s dominated Hauunonti's school affairs. He was not implicated in them, but we believe he would on!) too gladly resign were lie convinced that it would be "jopi for -the schools :f the entire directorate resigned.

' he doors of these old members. It may be that their purpose was honest in ail they did. Grant that for-a moment. If their intentions w-re riflht their policy was wrong. 1o permit such a state o: affairs to be pre-c-ij-.i'tc J in a publb: school Fystepj in whicli thousands of school children were :;nlly concerned and twice ?b .! trany thousand parents are interested, and still many more thousand taxpayers are footing tli bills, 'hows ignorance and incompetency on its face. If these board members lacked initiative and backbone and sanciior.i-'d the po!ic of giving diplomas that ere not earned and permitted friction in the- administration of school aTairs, i-n't it about time to make a chaos and get men who have initiative and backbone to take ,h--'ir plafes? It they were only indifferent and slip-shod hasn't the hour come to sttpplant them? Does the city council cf Hammond want ths people who elected it to office to think for a moment that there are not men in Hammond capable cf administrating the school affairs of the city correctly and ably? 'Here has bee a another concrete evidence of the damnable and ancient policy of permitting politician? to .cay who shall run the schools, the police department, the fire department, and so on. Hammond, like o.her cities. V.as suffered long enoU';'.i from these po'itical visitations. They invite incompetency and dh.astcr lor a ruut.cipality. They do i.oi. bra'n for efficiency and STtice. They shove accidents into public prominence dragging a train of evils around with them. V.'e sive Mayor Brown the most sincere and the grcate.-t credit tor divorcing the-" evils and refusing to play prides in the police and fire departments. He has splendid men at the head of both departments and they have the confidence and esteem of the entire city. Now !c. his administration do the same with the school board and put men into those most important position.;
