suited In the unending congestion OF the
schools and the futility OF efforts to enforce
the compulsory education law. The same
is true in every other department OF the
municipal government Never once has the
District been given its full measure OF
funds for current needs. Now that the
great permanent works are under way and
Congress Is bent upon making the District
pay for them as 1t goes. out Of current
revenues. the outlook for Catching up In
the school and other departments is by no
means bright.
Every Washingtonian who feels that the
law should be enforced to compel the school
attendance of every child of school age
owes 1t to himself and to his community to
enlist in the campaign for a readjustment
of the cost of permanent works SO that the
taxpayers Of today need not bear It all.
For only by this means is 1t possible now to
secure appropriations for the erection of
schools and the hiring Of teachers sufficient
to accommodate the maximum school at
tendance under such law.

Right!

From the New Orleans Times Democrat.
The people will approve the action taken
by the government In regard to Panama.
That our course there is right and proper Is
shown not only by Secretary Hay but by
the approval of the European powers. 1t is
true that some of the continental papers in
snuate even openly charge that the
United States instigated and assisted the
rebellion, but we need not trouble ourselves
over these ISLANDERS. The secession of Pa
mama has been under discussion on the
isthmus for months, and the Colombian au-
thorities were as well aware of 1t as our
own.

Fargo for $2.15 per ton in car load lots
and there is no good reason why the
consumer, by the ton, should not have
it placed in his bin at 50 or probably
less in ten and twenty ton lots.
The new proposed freight reduction
calls for a straight pull from the mines
at Washburn into Fargo and would
cut no figure in the present rates at
intermediate points. That Is a matter
that will probably be taken up later by
General Washburn. The one great
undertaking that he now has in hand
is to make Fargo strictly a Ignite
city and with this consummated he Will

President Roosevelt Discusses
Nomination OF General Wood
with Interested Senators.

Washington, Dec. 23.-To some OF
the senators who have particularly in
terested themselves in the pending
Wood nomination with an eye espe-
cially to the protection of some of the
veteran officers OF the army the presi-
ly to the effect that these officers have
nothing to fear in the immediate flu
ture. AS it was pointed out to him
that there was considerable apprehen-
sion among the friends Of these army
officers lest upon the retirement of
General Chaffee with the rank of lieu
tenant general the president might ap-
point Major General Leonard Wood to
be lieutenant general, involving the
jumping" of number of distin-
would have chance to attain the
highest rank by reason of General
Woods incumbency for the place for
fifteen years. the president has ex.
pressly declared that he has no such
intention. Incidentally that involved
an undertaking on his part to promote
some of these general officers referred
to after General Chaffee's retirement
But he did not state that when he
made such promotions as he saw fit he
would not close the list by appointing
General Wood to be lieutenant gen
eral
The understanding thus reached
with the senators is expected to have
an important influence upon the ac
ton that will be had upon the Woo
nomination.

SUES TO RECOVER CHARGES.
Superior Man Claims Merger Oeetroy-
ed Competitive Rates.

Superior. Wis, Dec. 23.-Homer T.
Fowler of the local board of trade,
who started the campaign against the
Minnesota grain inspectors and weigh
men. has begun suit against the Great
Northern road to recover money that
he claims to have paid the road as an
extra charge on shipments. This
charge, he claims, came as the result
OF the merger of the Great Northern
and the Northern Pacific roads, and
therefore is not legal
He claims that for the past year
and a half the rate on flax oilcake
etc, has been cents hundred high
er from Minneapolis to this point
than It was before the announcement
Of the merger Of the Great Northern
and the Northern Pacific roads.
The plaintiff seeks to recover on the
ground that competitive rates have
been destroyed.
