Ideal DAYS.

Just at present nothing finer could be de-
sired in the way OF climate than the condi-
tons enveloping this region. The heat OF
last week. the excessive humidity, the dis
agreeable threats of trouble are all forgot
ten in the enjoyment of the moment The
moisture-clogged lungs breathe in the life
giving air with zest and the body is refresh
ed by the sound sleep permitted during these
cool nights. There is that In the atmos-
phere which suggests exercise and outdoor
rambles, and all that Is good for mankind
The suggestion of frost marks the approach
of the real autumn. OF red leaves and open
fires and chestnuts and popcorn and apples,
the CHEEKY fall Of full fruition and not the
drear days of decay and desolation. No
where can these weeks be enjoyed more
fully than In this part of the country. where
the hillsides soon flame with color and hold
their tones late. Now come the days for
pleasant ttamps into the country. Here
abouts are many attractive places to visit
in this way some Of them historic others
beautiful. Fairly good roads lead in all di-
rections, but at this season with such
weather the true lover of the path cares but

New York.

The fusionists seem disposed to make a
thorough job Of 1t IN New York this year.
Men of the grade of Captain Mahan, r.
Fulton Cutting and George Haven Putnam
are seldom mentioned for places on a board
Of aldermen. There Is every reason. how
ever, why this should now be done. and why
the men named should respond favorably to
the request for the use Of their names.
Non-partisan city government stands justi-
fed of its works in New York, and should
not only be continued but strengthened in
every way. A return to Tammany rule
would be a blow, not only to the people
Immediately concerned. but to people else
where who are striving to shake Off, as the
New York people did two years ago. the
incubus Of organized dishonesty.

Mcclellan, Coler and Nixon.

Interest in the New York mayoraity sit

course Of the democratic forces in selecting
candidate. Representative Mcclellan.
who has been regarded as Tammany's
favorite for tho nomination. has returned
from Europe. and is discreetly non-com-
initial with regard TO any subject even re-
motely connected with municipal politics.
1t Is generally understood that Leader Muir
ply will force his nomination II possible.
But he has to reckon with the Brooklyn
democracy, whose leader, Hugh McLaugh-
lin, has declared against Mcclellan as a
losing candidate. Mclaughlin would like
to see Bird 8. Coler nominat ted, pointing to
his good run for governor last year, when
he carried the metropolitan district by I2U,-
600. But Tammany opposes on two grounds,
only one Of which is openly stated This is
that Coler was a much stronger proposition
5 candidate for governor than he could
ossibiy be as q candidate for the mayor

vote and that cast for Governor Odell can

Hurricane Forecasts.
From the New York Tribune

From the New York Tribune .-.-
The experience of the United States
weather bureau in detecting and follow
ing the three tropical storms which have
visited this country within the last few
weeks shows that Its facilities are not all
that could be wished Concerning the first
of these 1t was impossible to obtain definite
Information Tor three four days after it
passed over Jamaica. The next one, re-
ported from the Bahamas in time to warn
Florida, was lost to view for a day when
it had entered the Gulf of Mexico. The
third cyclone came as surprise. 1t
passed near no island or continental sta
ton where observation was possible until
last Tuesday evening, when it gave hints
of its existence Off Hatteras. Suspicion
was thus excited by a wind velocity Of
thirty-eight miles hour, but even then
there were two excellent reasons for exer-
cising caution in the form of the warnings
issued. Only a month before the bureau
had been undeservedly but sharply criti-
cised for its premonitions Of a different
storm. Again. the path usually followed by
hurricanes that are already at sea when Off
Hatteras is northeastward, not northwest
ward. Nevertheless, If earlier and fuller
news of this destroyer had been obtainable
at Washington the country would have been
the gamer.

MIR. Williams on the Amendments.

Representative John 8. Williams of Mis-
sissippi, who has been Ill in Louisville. KY,
replies from there to The Stars inquiry re-
specting his attitude on the proposed repeal
of the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments
to the Constitution of the United States.
The inquiry grew out of the fact that Mr..
Williams is likely to be chosen minority
leader OF the next House, and the race
question is assuming national importance
again. Mr.. Williams says:
1.-The repeal of the fifteenth amendment.
one of the greatest blunders. and therefore
one of the greatest crimes, in political his
tory. is contamination to be devoutly
wished for, but not to be expected, at this
time. at any rate. l did not know that any
body was advocating the repeal of the four
teenth amendment.
Here is authority sufficient for CHASING
Mr. Williams with Major Vardaman Of his
own state and Senator Carmack of Tennes-
see in opinion concerning the nature of the
fifteenth amendment. All three regard it
as a crime against the body polite. Major
Vardaman and Mr.. Carmack are agitating
repeal in the hope of securing early favor
able action. Mr.. Williams does not at pres
ent share their hope. However, when he
returns home and discusses the situation
with Major Vardaman, who is an enthu-
to share that aggressive individuals views.
Moreover. he will then discover that the
Vardaman-Carmack program Of repeal in
cludes both amendments.
When The Star propounded its inquiry to
MIR. Williams the impression prevailed that
Mr.. German, who Is the minority leader in
the Senate and a prominent candidate for
his party's presidential nomination, was I'M
favorable to any agitation of the race ques-
ton at this time. Since then the democrats
of Maryland have held state convention,
and the principal plank in the platform
adopted. If it means anything, points, in
case of democratic success in November, to
election law whereby it will be brought to
bear a closer resemblance to the election
laws of the lower southern states. Mr..
German. then, who dominated the Mary
land convention, Is in sense and to a GER
tain extent, in line with the views of Major
Vardaman. Mr.. Carmack and Mr. Williams
and may be brought to the point of appeal
ing in national way, he now is doing
in a local way, for party votes on the issue
of anti-colored suffrage.
With Mr.. German representing his party
in the Senate and Mr.. Williams in the
House. how will it be possible to keep the
subject of making southern representation
In Congress conform to the Constitution or
the Constitution conform to the present
southern representation, out of the deba ties
of the coming session?
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1903-09-21

and that given to Mayor Low. The other
reason is that Tammany does not Ike
Coler, having found him very difficult
man to manage while he was controller
under the Van Wyck administration. Tam
many voted for him heartily for governor
because he could do the big graft game no
harm in the state house at Albany. but 1t
will never willingly accept him as the head
of the municipal government. This does
not go to Indicate that Tammany would
knife Coler, if his nomination were forced
upon the organization. But 1t would GER
tainly not yield without a determined Ie-
sistance to the Brooklyn demand for his
nomination. Realizing this fact of Tam
many's opposition Mclaughlin Is holding
Coler in reserve and Is putting forward
Lewis Nixon, erstwhile leader of Tammany.
Mr.. Nixon has launched his own campaign
through an address to the democratic
voters of the big city in the name OF the
Metropolitan Democratic Club, setting
forth his political virtues and his particular
qualifications for the mayoralty. This docu-
ment is not calculated to appeal iIrongiy
to the Tammany voter. 1t comprises ex-
clusively incidents in Mr.. Nixon's career
which have brought him into conflict with
the machine, especially that part of it de-
voted to the graft game. Mention Is made
of Nixons service on the so-called Tam
many vice" committee, which Investigated
the evils of the red light district. its report
being carefully and completely suppressed
Also of his fight against police blackmail
and pilfering in public office. These cita-
tons are not of sort to arouse any real
enthusiasm for Nixon among the members
of the machine in New York, and 1t Is sus-
pected that when the time comes for
showing Of hands Nixon will not be reckon
ed with seriously by the leaders on either
side of the East river. Meanwhile the re-
nomination of Mayor Low is regarded as
certainty, and Mr.. Jerome continues to
scold.

The Districts Schools.

The reopening of the public schools of the
District today definitely marks the close of
the vacation season and the resumption OF
hard work by the little folks and their in
structors Every indication points to
higher attendance this year than ever be-
fore. The equipment is larger and the
teaching force more nearly adequate, even
though there are deficiencies in both re-
spects, due to the failure of Congress to
provide sufficiently for the growth of the
city. Nevertheless the high standard of IN
dividual efficiency on the part of the in
structors serves to hold the local education
al system up toward the mark of the COM
munity's needs, despite the crowdinS IN
some buildings and too many halliday
schools.
1t would be too much to say that the peo-
pie of the District are altogether satisfied
with the school system as it stands Several
years ago such a statement would have
been a bald inaccuracy. Certain pernicious
tendencies had led to the evolution of a
scheme of pedagogy which grievously Of
Tended the citizens and made them fear that
the whole system was falling into state OF
dry-rot. Theory ran to ridiculous extremes,
and the net results. when test was applied
In the high schools where the fruits Of the
preceding Iabors should be most nearly ripe,
were lamentably deficient. Then came a re-.
form. with radical changes apparently for
the better, and the opening of a bright pros
pect for a restoration to the schools of the
old strength and direct efficiency which had
the country's lists.
But the full results of the reform were not
attained. The-reaction from the discredited
\ @{aIl l.
ing carried the schools certain distance
along the path of reform and a check was
then experienced. 1t is unnecessary to enter
now into discussion in detail of the incl
dents of the school history of the past few
years. Suffice it to say that an opportunity
was permitted to pass and the reform was
halted so that today the schools remain, in
an anomalous condition, which satisfies
completely neither the friends of the old
methods nor the advocates of a change
Perfect cooperation between the trustees
and the Commissioners is as necessary to-
day for the welfare of the schools as IT was
in the days before the reorganization of the
board with fuller powers. Perfect confidence
in the board on the part of the teachers and
principals is always an absolute necessity
Partisanship and Jealousy can have no place
in the administration if the teaching staff
IS to be encouraged to do its best work and
to strive conscientiously for the mental and
moral improvement of the children. The
school board IS row, as always, on trial be-
fore the community, perhaps even to a more
definite degree than for several seasons, In
View OF the feeling which prevails more dis
tnctly than ever that the District has not
received the full benefit of the reforms Or
dered by Congress after it's searching inves-
ugaton and its discovery of the lamentable
results of the old system.

The Langley Aeroplane.

While the country has had considerable
fun at the expense of Prof Langley and
his flying machine. owing to the yexatious
delays occasioned by the delicate nature Of
the experiments, the fact is nevertheless
plain that this distinguished scientist has
gained a valuable experience in the course
OF the enterprise. 1t Is evident to all who
nave given attention to the real problem
of human flight that Prof. Langley is on the
right track in his attempt to fashion a ma
chine after the flying mechanism of a bird
Sailing or soaring devices are all based
upon the principle of the support given by
the air in consequence of it's resistance and
in the case of the Langley machine this
principle is directly applied to that part of
the apparatus which is designed as the flo
tadon agency Beyond this however, the
ideal flying machine demands device for
propulsion and 1t is in the construction of
this device that thus far the Langley ma
chine has failed The problem Is to secure
maximum power from minimum weight,
ana naturally there is point at which the
power Is too great for the weight of the
engine. On at least two occasions the pro-
pellers have broken because of their high
rate of speed and the frailty of their con-
struction 1t Is obviously necessary to COM
force while Strengthening the parts These
facts could be ascertained only in the course
OF actual tests Thus the failure of the
machine to rise from its platform does not
necessarily indicate that the principle is at
fault or the problem Is hopeless of solution
The successful development by Santos Du-
mont OF dirigible balloon. while Prof
Langley has been more slowly bringing his
aeroplane TO its present stage does not in
the slightest degree bear upon the case The
balloon principle is incompatible with the
true solution of the problem of human
flight At best this device can only be an
interesting toy, incapable of transporting
large numbers of persons of travelling
long distances in all kinds of weather. That
being so, the aeropiane. even in its upper
fected state. stands for the closest approac CHI
to solution And this summers expert
ments however unsuccessful, must inevita-
bly, forward the research materially
