M I X l ’ P over the selection o f an architect for the proposed
( J
new school building is a regrettable affair.
It is alw a y s
regrettable when men o f high standing in the com m unity, and
w ho have been associated with one another for years on a friendly
basis, become aroused to such a pitch o f feeling that they doubt the
veracity o f one another, and when one expresses doubt o f the honesty
o f three of his associates.
It is a lw a y s regrettable when men w ho have served the public
faith fu lly and well iu positions o f trust do things which m ake them
objects o f bitter criticism and cause to be forgotten in the heat o f the
moment all they have done deserving of commendation.
In the movement for a new school building A . H . K in g and J. I
Jones, members of the school hoard, have been objects o f the most
bitter criticism aud the veracity o f statements m ade by them has l>een
attacked.
Not onlv that, but freely circulate«! reports that they were
out for graft nearly defeatetl the bontl issue for a new school house
Reports circulated about Mr. Jones did uot stop even there, but Th e
Sentinel is pleased that he has been able to refute most o f them.
Director K iu g has said that M r. Chandlers of the advisory board
•is after a little graft, and that the truth is not in him.
Mr. K iu g also
im pugns the motives o f Coiuiuitteman D el.oug and Director W o odard
*
T h e Sentinel does not l>elieve Mr. Jones or Mr. K ing hail anv
intention of tak in g graft.
T h e editor ot T h e Sentinel has ret«eatedlv
defended these gentlemen against that charge.
Neither do we lielieve
that any such intention ever existed ill the miuds of Messrs. Cham bers,
D e L o n g , W o o d a rd or Shinn.
It has the most explicit confidence iu
the integrity of these gentlemen.
A s far as we k now the personal life
o f these gentlemen is above reproach.
A more exem plary set of men
could have hardly been found.
T h e Sentinel also appreciates to the
utmost the services rendered bv Directors Jones and K in g iu the con ­
duct o f the schools o f the city.
W e appreciate the inauy sacrifices
they have m ade to render such service.
Mr. Jones iu particular has
rendered service to the city for which he will never !>e suitably re­
w ard ed.
For these reasons it is painful to offer adverse criticism.
For
these reasons we have not before offered such criticism.
But we c a n ’t help but feel that the present situation has been
brought about through the support by Mr. Jones o f one for whom the
the jo b o f architect w as dem anded in repayment o f a political obligation
aud in the face o f an u n fav orab le refmrt o f the advisory board, mem
bers o f which had gone to considerable personal expense in investi­
gation.
W e have at times adm ired Director K in g ; perha(>s we shall again
some time in the future, but when he charges Messrs C h am bers
D e L o n g aud W o o d a rd with dishonesty, uutruthfulness and intentions
o f graft, he exhibits a quality o f judgm ent which com pels us to place
our confidence in the very men whom he accuses.
W h e n he attempts
to show that the advisory committee w ould force the sale o f the bonds
regardless o f interest rate, it looks as if he were seeking some excuse
to delay their sale, especially when a tentative offer for their purchase
at 5 % less $200 bon u s has been m ade.
W e also believe Mr. K in g mistakes public sentiment when be savs
it is with him as against Messrs. W o odard, Cham bers, S biu ii and
D eLong.
H e m ay pit his ju dgm en t against the four if be wishes, ami
the law m ay be on bis side, but that is not convincing evidence as to
the wishes o f a m ajority o f the taxp ayers.
W e believe he is mistaken
when be says the m em bers o f the advisory committee are relieved of
all responsibility to the tax p a y e rs if the school board ratifies their
action.
W e believe that the resolution passed at the annual school
meeting w as the expression o f the voters that they w ould not bold the
school board responsible for such actiou except as m em bers o f the
bu ilding committee.
W e are perfectly w illin g, how ever, to subm it the matter to another
vote o f the ta x p a y e rs— we welcom e such a vote— and w ould abid e by
the m ajority.
Iu a case like this, where pu blic feeling runs wi high,
it is h ig h ly important to sense pu blic sentiment aright before action
is taken.
W ith T h e Sentinel there is no question o f the honesty or motives
o f any m em ber of the b u ild in g committee.
It is simply a question of
whether or not the voters wish the school board to ratify the action o f
a m ajority o f the b u ild in g committee, o f which it is a part. W e believe
they do, and are w illin g to abid e by such action, whether it is to our
lik in g or not.
If they do uot wish the school board to lie Bn guided,
the taxp ayers should be given an opportunity to say so.
T h e advisory
board w ill abid e by the decision.
should assum e responsibility for the actions o f those utterly out of
harm ony with it.
T h e Sentinel had wished that when Mr. Jones dropped his archi­
tect the advisory board could do the same, but they d id n ’t, and
because they d id n 't they have been accused o f a dictatorial attitude.
T h ey said they co u ld n 't recom m end the architect suggested by the
hoard, and if they were honest iu that opinion, as we have no reason to
doubt, it is up to Directors K in g and Jones to show w h y they c a n ’t
accept the architect selected by a m ajority o f 'th e b u ild in g committee,
and whom it appears they have agreed to accept if a suitable contract
can be m ade.
