PTob2blU Cooler.

Out in Milwaukee, a thriving and
energetic settlement on the shore of
Lake Michigan. the publishers Of the
daily newspapers make time for leis-
IRE and enjoy il together. They pub
lish every autumn the most unique
magazine which comes TO the ex-
change table. It is called "Once A
Year" and there is not a dry page
d. in it.
Even crystal glistens in the sun
shine. however, and so bright it is no
wonder that a few paragraphs which
deal with our fellow-townsman, VIII
lis /. Moore member Of the club
stand out beyond their fellows, even
in 'Once A Year" We quote them

Miss Unschuld Busy.

Miss Unschuld. president Of the Uni
verslty OF Music. has returned 10 Wash
ingtoh from a trip West where she
went TO fl concert engagements. and
created most distinct impression by
her splendid work. While out of town
she was engaged for an early recital In
Pennsylvania.
Miss Cnschuld viii leave Washington

cities and 10 deliver a music lecture.
She viii be home again on Thursday for
the net lecture In the series at the
university On Friday Miss Unschuld
will play at "a charity entertainment
which is to be given in the New Willard,
ana on Monday next at the Western
High School the second young Pc rple S
matinee viii he given at 2.l5. These lat
ter recitals viii continue on each Mon
day afternoon.
As IL can be readily seen, Miss IN
schuld's time is being rapidly and con-
tInuaIly hned. She is giving much
pleasure to Washingtonians in her en-
tertainments. and their varied character
gives everyone an opportunity 10 enjoy
an hour or two OF music very fre-
quently.

The Anglo Saxon Theory.


Mention IS made often of the possi-
bility that the Anglo-Saxons viii ulti-
mately be the rulers of the universe.
This belief is denounced by some
writer's as a fad, and the expression
Of it due 10 racial ignorance. The
criticism is only in part fair.
A mistake is made in the use of the
term 'AnglO-Saxon." The union OF
the Angles with the free-booting Sax
Ons produced a strong race, and
traces. of course, remain. There is a
considerable element that can follow
its line of ancestry back TO this assO-
citation. 1t is not. however, a distinct
element untouched by other strains.
The careless writer. in saying An
glo-Saxon" means nothing but Eng
disappearing peoples in distinction
from the Latin. lie is trying 70 group
the residents of England, America
and Australia, together with the Co
lOnial off-shoots OF. these several ag-
gregations, and weld them into one
force, this force tending 10 DONNA
ton. In this there are many reasons
for supposing such writers TO be cor
rect.
1t is not TO be gathered from such
theory that any grand social cata-
clysm is due or ever win be due. The
vital contest may be but in silent, i'm
placable process of evolution. eVeI
tending to elimination of the unfit
The world is getting so small that the
belief it must one day be essentially
under a single control is not Illogical
1t is too small as the abiding place
Indefinitely Of several and conflicting
standards Of civilization. The stan
dard that shall prove itself better
than the rest may some day be the
solitary one remaining.
The spread of the English language
and with il the school of thought
which finds in this language the me-
dunn of expression. is a notable sign
II is this the writer his in mind when
with fair intent, but lack Of accuracy

The District in the House.


Our news columns announced yes
terday that the temper of the House
Of Representatives is set tTeconcil-
ably against the loan of any sum to
the District of Columbia for any long
period Of time
On arguments which need not be
considered at this time, the Repre-
sentatves seem to have concluded
that instead of a single loan sufficient
10 put the District finances on a bust
ness-Iilze basis it viii be better TO ad-
vance as much money as may now be
needed on the theory of repayment
after about FIVE years. With this if
the House has its way. the District
must be content
This determination is. Of course. not
final. On the contrary, likelihood is
that the legislation which is enacted
viii bear the distinct impress of the
Senate, and the community will watch
the progress Of the District appro-
priations ac1 in the earnest hope that
the Senate viii enable the District to
put its finances in decent, established
order.
If, however, a loan no more than
sufficient TO complete the permanent
Improvements and yet keep the public
schools open and protect the city is
all that can be obtained, the District
win do we'll to eonsider-not what it
has failed TO get, but the advantage
Of even this plan over the old one.
1t will not be necessary. then. to rob
the Health Department. or the Fire
Department, for the railway termi-
nails, or to leave at the mercy Of the
elements a sewage disposal system
now half constructed. 1t may DC pos
sible with such a precedent TO finance
ali similar expenditures in the future
independent of the Districts running
/ expenses. And i tie sum advanced
for five years-it can hardly be less
than S. 000-cannOt be repaid in
five years, the situation can be met by
a continuance Of the loan. The plan
is not without It's redeeming quail
ties. Bat it is far from business
like.
lt is harder to look complarently
on the prospect that the House will
deny the school teachers their much
] delayed increase in salaries. This is
a cause easily within the absolute
/ necessities" which are TO be the meas
ure Of this years allowances. The
! schools can be kept going with the
/ present allowances. exactly as Con-
/ gress could be kept going with the al
lowances Of 1850, but it is the height
of folly to try the experience. Good
teachers are leaving by the score.
Men teachers are 50 few that il is pos
sible for a boy TO graduate without
having sat under a single male in
/ structor. And the present high stan
dard Of the schools depends almost
entirely upon the devotion and self
sacrifice Of men and women genuinely
engaged in their work for the good
of the community
Retrenchment may be necessary.
Probably it is. If 1t is. most of the

A Toast For Paris.

Editor Perry, who was a visitor in this
city, this week, in attendance at the Re-
publican convention, throws out the fol.
lowing bouquet about Paris, in his paper
the Sun-Sentinel: "The Elks have about
completed magnificent building that will
cost over $4,000. Paris consists mainly
of Brother Sweeney, Postmaster; Brother
John I. Hinton, Judge H. c. Howard and
Brother Craddock. editor. Of course,
there are other things in Paris, but moth
ing to equal those above named.
The first courthouse was built in 1897.
1t burned in 1872. A new building on the
same site was completed in 1874. October
l9, 1902, that building burned, and there
is now under way one of the most impos-
ing court-houses in the State, which will
cost, complete, 100000.
"Among the people in Paris besides
the gentlemen formerly mentiond are
Benz. Perry, Mayor, and E. B. January.
Don't know what January is, but il
seems to me he is some of most every
thing
"Polk Forsyth lives there, too. And
Capt J. M. Thomas has built a fine
mosoleum to be buried in when he dies.
t"There is just a little more dignity
about Paris than the other Bluegrass
towns, but don't know how to explain it.
You just feel it when you associate with
the Paris people.
"Paris is one of the incest places to &c
to that have ever seen, but after staying
awhile you want to go home-if you live
in Winchester"
