A r E II E RE TO STAY

The camp Of the Commonweal Of Christ
presented livelier appearance today than
1t has for week or more. Gen. Coxey did
not take out an exhibition license this morn
ing, and consequently the gates were open
to the free admission of the public, although
a box was prominently displayed at the gate
which bore a legend to the effect that con-
tributions from visitors would be thank
fully received. In consequence Of the new
departure hundreds of the curious made
their way to the encampment and made
themselves at home among the common
wealers. Just inside OF the main gate stood
a little table. behind which was seated one
of the scribes Of the army, who requested
the signatures Of visitors to a petition adj
dressed to the District health authorities
requesting them to rescind their notice to
Coxey and his followers to vacate the spot
now devoted to the camp. II was amusing
to see the manner in which the so-called
property holders responded to the invita-
ton. They were for the most part citizens
of the colored persuasion, and their educa-
tional advantages had not extended SO far
as to equip them in the management of the
pen. Consequently nine-tenths of the names
appended to the paper were written by the
in charge. The individuals
who favored the demand made by the doc
ument would tell their names. their places
of residence. the trades they followed and

The Unemployed of Washington.

Representative LATE Pence. in his Police
Court speech in the Coxey case. said: THE
only men who are out of employment here
are the men who have held Office in the de-
partments and have lost their positions
and the men who have been in the city dur
ing the whole of the present administration
vainly waiting a chance to squeeze their
way in" A correspondent of The Star, who
signs himself 'once workingman.' says:
II would like TO inquire where Represen-
tative LATE Pence gets his authority for
the above statement. There are hundreds
of unemployed here who are not of the
class he quotes glibly about. Neither
do they belong TO the gang OF organized
mendicants he is so deeply solicitous about.
IL he would take rest from his arduous
duties in the Police Court and correctly in
form himself upon this and other subjects
he might be less disposed to make such
statements"

OF Unknown Smith. said 70 the reporter
that he was perfectly willing to go to jail
with the rest Of the commonwealers in case
it be necessary. and that every other man
now I'm camp felt equally determined upon
the subject as himself. He said the cause
of so many assertions during the past
week was because the deserters did not
have the faith strong enough within them
to permit the proper exercise Of self-sacri-
fee on their part.

Chancellor Boggs Of the State Jniver.
sity is Of the opinion that the Legislature
fails 10 make suitable provision for The
public school system. and the institutions
OF higher education. There is a good deal
Of truth Ia what the chancellor says. Too
many of the members OF the legislature
are much more Interested in parcelling out
the Offices among their friends than they
are in raising the standard Of the schools
Strange as II may seem, they win do any
amount Of hard work TO have this or that
man made solicitor general or judge, bu,
they cannot be Induced 10 make "a thor
ough study of the public school system
and endeavor to have Ia VS. enacted that
would make the system better. They don't
seem TO be interested TO any great ex-
tent in the improvement of the youth of
the state.
Chancellor Boggs would like. of course,
much greater assistance for the State Uni
yersity. 1t is only natural that ne should
do his utmost to build up that institution.
We have always contended. however, and
still contend that the state cannot afford
to be liberal with the State University
until much better provision is made for
the public schools. Better school houses
are needed. better qualified teachers should
be provided ami the schools should be-
kept open longer each year.
But, il may be asked, where is the money
to come from 70 do all this for the public
schools? 1t would be an easy matter to
raise .. ,rraat Saa1 moro ,y,Cr.,r Ton 60, J-o5I
purposes without increasing the tax rate
All that it is necessary to do is to provide
for a proper assessment Of property. There
are counties that receive from the school
fund more money than they pay in taxes
II is apparent TO every fair-minded man
that such a condition of affairs is not just
Chatham county, for instance, has to
maintain not only her own schools, but to
help maintain those of a number of other
counties.
There isn't county in the state whose
taxes wouldn't amount to much more
than enough to give it good schools if its
property We're properly assessed. And
the reason that there is not a proper as
sessment in each county is the fault Of
the legislature.
There are plenty of men in the legisla-
ture who are ready to assent to what
Chancellor Boggs says about the necessity
for better schools, but there does not APP
pear TO be one of them that has the cour-
age to propose legislation that would pro-
vide the means for improving the schools
We shall have TO improve the legislature
before we can hope for a more vigorous
and liberal policy in respect to ine schools
