RIOT SCENES
DURING STRIKE
AT HUB CITY
In the last mail E. P. Medley re
ceived a letter from his former home,
Boston, which gives a vivid account
of conditions there during the strike
of the police officers and the reign of
the military in the ancient city. The
letter is dated September 21, and
says in part:
“The strike is still on. The police
commissioner, however, has declared
that there is no strike, and that the
men are officially discharged and their
names have been stricken from the
rolls.
“Boston still is under martial law;
riots have taken place, with a total of
about thirty dead—police, soldiers and
civilians. It is a disgraceful state of
affairs, and public sympathy is very
strongly against the police.
“The first night of the strike the
conditions were terrible, the city being
left without protection. At 11 p. m.
the first thing I saw when I came out
of the subway at Scollay square was
two big crap games, one almost in
front of the police station, the other
on the sidewalk in front of the Craw
ford house. There were roving bands
of yeggs and gunmen, and fights and
hold-ups too numerous to mention. At
noon the next day the soldiers were in
charge, and things had almost become
normal again. You would think to
walk along Washington street that the
city was under siege—all windows are
boarded over, soldiers on horseback
and on foot are scattered every few
feet, no one is allowred to loiter, and
any argument with the soldiers means
immediate arrest and conviction.
“There is a lot of talk about a gen
eral strike, but I hardly think it will
take place, as the general public is
strongly against anything that will tie
up business. It now looks as though
the former police force would be re
placed by ex-soldiers.”

How It Comes That Political Bosses
Control Public School Systems
*_‘
By JACOB M. LOEB, Chicago Board of Education
* ,__
To build political systems’ fortunes upon the school system is traf
ficking in children’s souls.
During more than five years of service as school trustee one sees much
of school boards, something of the public, and very little if any co-opera
tion between the two.
To appoint as school trustees men and women unknown and untried
is taking a gambler’s chance. To commit the administration of a vast
business enterprise to those without experience or training is poor judg
ment. To confer upon hucksters the responsibility of preparing budgets,
of expending millions, or negotiating leases, of making real estate trans
fers, is signal improvidence.
The public is divided into three classes: The educated, who keep aloof
from public questions; the class that can think but won’t, and, thirdly,
the class that cannot think for its«lf and accepts the ready-made judgment
of others. The latter class is led by various types—the parlor propa
gandist, the agitator and the political type and the boss type, more dan
gerous and controlling than the others.
So we have a public a part of which is thoughtful but inactive, a
part unthinking and directed by vicious leadership.
