After the evidence of the above case
the Attorney for the defendants sub-
m'tted several points to the court for
positive instruction to the Jury. On
motion of Counsel for the defendant
the Court held that Anna LL. Hoover
could not be convicted ass charged,
for the reason that she was the wife of
Grant Hoover, one of the defendants,
and what she did was presumed to be
under the direction of her husband
and that perscnally she could not be
convicted ; that the title to the proper-
ty was claimed to be in the wife and
that this Court could not try this
question, The case was submitted to
the Jury on a question of costs, The
verdict of the Jury was that the coun.
ty should pay them,

superior in fitness. There are degrees
of fitness. Mr. Etters will undoubt-
edly prove Lis competency, bul if he
fails to do so he should be succeeded,
three years hence, by another.
One of the best opportunities given a
county superintendent of schools to
give the local schools lasting benefit is
to weed out the incompetent school
teachers. This method will not pop-
ularize him with many of the sch ol
teachers, nor will it gain the support
of a class of school directors who have
an interest foreign to the welfare of the
public school system. The superin-
tendent-elect will be obliged to seize
this opportunity to lessen incompetent
tenchers in order that he may com-
mand the continued confidence of the
school directors who elected him, as
well as all citizens in the county who
take an interest in local educational
affairs,
