'No Check on the Governor HE GOVERNOR'S CODE places no check upon him, save that which the constitution guarantees in the } right of recall. He can appoint and fire at will. play horse with elective officers because he has the power to appoint them to more lucrative positions than those to which they had been elected, He can thus salaries or decrease them. In a word, he is going to be the boss of many thousands of employes, and boss in the real sense of the word, In the past, important officers appointed by the governor When their! were appointed for a stated number of years. terms were up, he would have the privilege of reappoint+ ing them or removing them. This acted to some extent as a check upon the governor were he inclined to play too much politics. Now even this slight check is eliminated under the code. Governor Hart has been ill advised in the manner of presenting the code. It was a serious blunder to have kept it secret. It was extremely crude to demand passage without dotting an “i” or crossing a “t.” The Star be- lieves the governor was misled tactically, as well as in matters of policy, by the type of men like L. D, McArdle, able enough in his line, but hardly a man of vision, The Star honestly believes the code faulty in several im- portant respec Despite that, it is not going to damn it everlastingly. The governor shall have his opportunity to make good. He can overcome some of the objections to the code by doing the right thing even if not compelled to do so, He must not allow men like McArdle to persuade him that labor should be denied a voice in administering labor boards. It is not Hart’s own idea. It is not any fair- Hart has sufficient latitude to give labor the representation it is entitled to. And so in many other respects, The governor can, if he chooses, rectify deficiencies in the code. He has broad powers. If he uses them intelligently and for the public wel- fare, the code will work out well. as some of his advisers no doubt contemplate, he will find himself very soon in extremely hot water. There is no check on the governor in the code itself. It is up to him to check himself. YD SLOPING our available water power in this coun- try we can produce power at a rate of $15 a horse power. The power which runs the largest English mills a very significant and important fact. can be mined in the United States and laid down in English land. These were among the statements made recently by Gen. Hugh Cooper to a committee of the house investigaung water power development. General Cooper speaks as one having authority. He is the man who developed the Niagara Falls power. Also the power at Keokuk, Iowa. He has built numerous dams on the Mississippi and has been engaged on the Mussel Shoals works in Alabama. During the war General Cooper served as a dollar-a-year man, contributing his services to the government. He took pains to tell the committee that he has all the money he wants or needs, and that he is not a stockholder in any power corporation. The development of water power in the United States General Cooper regards as the most important thing which can be done. Before the war the general says the subject of developing water power was regarded as something of a gamble. There were engineering problems which at that time were not completely solved. Since then these engi- of developing power from falling water is a matter of abso- lute engineering certainty and mathematical precision. There were strong intimations in what General Cooper said that there are British influences at work in the United |States against the development at government expense of |$15 horse power, and it was in this connection that he cited the comparative cost of British power. | And a large part of the total water power in the United | States lies in the state of Washington, the industrial state jof the future. 4m the Oberlin, La. railroad “Notice Gentlemen and Lady.

THE Valuing Teachers |] ISTEN to the words of Roger Ascham: | “It is a pity that commonly more care is had, and |that among very wise men, to find out rather a cunning |£ ‘man for their horse than a cunning man to teach their children. They say nay a word, but they do so in deed. |For in the one they will gladly give a stipend of 200 crow by the year and are loath to offer the other 200 shilling: Who is this Roger Ascham? An educator lecturing be- |fore teachers’ institutes and demanding better training and better wages for teachers? | tendent calling on the board of education to wake up? Neither! Roger Ascham lived more than 300 years ago and in a |treatise on the schoolmaster he addressed himself to the folks of his time concerning the low value placed upon the services of teachers. But his words have a familiar ring. One can hear their like any day in any group of modern underpaid teachers. Civilization has advanced a long way since Roger Ascham’s day, but relatively speaking, its appraisal of a \teacher’s worth is no higher than that which prevailed in 1565, when Ascham wrote. | While our educational systems have, until recently, *at- | tempted to shape all minds in the same mold, horse-trainers |have known for many years how to cultivate the good | points of the individual horse. It is only in the past decade |the individual child rather than the child in the mass.
