In an interview given out in Wash ington Sunday on the dairy industry of the South, Secretary Wilson of the Department of Agriculture Tefers to That's Why the Partisan Democrats Howled Down Professor Coon They Don't Want the People to Elect School Ofiicials. Statesville Landmark, Democratic The county superintendents, or teachers, or whoever it was that in terrupted Mr. Charles L. Coon, Presi dent of the Teachers' Assembly, in Raleigh Tuesday night, so that he could not conclude his address, dis credited the teachers of the State. It is a nice state of affairs indeed when an educator of the standing of Mr. Coon, who is now superinten dent of the Wilson graded schools and has occupied other important po sitions in the educational work of the State, is not permitted to express his sentiment before an brganization which had elected him President. Such an incident would have dis credited a political meeting, and what shall be said of a gathering of educa tors, supposed to set an example in manners and culture, that indulges in such methods. The Landmark by no means en dorses all Mr. Coon said, but his criticisms in some respects were well founded. For instance, the sugges tion that a new method should be employed to elect members of the County Board of Education and County Superintendents; to remove these from political influence, is a point well taken. Anybody who knows the facts knows that men are often made members of a County Board of Education and made County Superin tendents of Schools without any re gard whatever to their fitness for these positions, but purely as a mat ter of political favoritism; and very often the schools have been dam aged and as a consequence the wel fare of the children jeopardized by incompetent management under such methods. Fitness and not politics or anything but fitness, should be at all times the standard in the administra tion of school affairs. But this is by the way. The Land mark simply desires to go on record as expressing its indignation that a crowd of so-called educators in North Carolina have made a public and dis graceful exhibition of their littleness and narrowness by refusing one of their own 'number and one whom they have honored by electing him President . of the s State organization of teachers, the privilege to express his views. Washington Halliday, aged ninety four, who claimed to be the oldest bank president in active service in the United Ctates, died In Los An geles, Cal., last week.

This breaks up the private tele phone monopoly and equips the Gov ernment Postal Service with tele phones as well as ths telegraph. This mea,ns better service at lowrer cost. Already the government telephones are being installed in private houses in London, giving subscribers the benefit of a single party wire for only $25 a year. Subscribers at this rate, unlike New York, Chicago, and other cities, are entitled to call any other subscriber in an area embrac ing a population of over 7,000,000. The price, which the Government wrill pay for the old company's prop erty, is not yet determined. , It is being fixed by the commission7 who are taking an inventory and will base that decision on the actual vaiue of the property.
