The ssPushmobile. "

Sometimes new tad gives dignity, name
and additional vogue to an ancient custom.
This Is the case with the amusement of the
small boys who propel their hand
carts by pushing with their Aeet upon the
ground. OF late years these carts have
been manufactured in various designs. es-
pecially suited to the sturdy-legged young
sters who are Impatient OF the natural
method Of transit. Quite recently they
have been given the shape and appearance
of touring cars and now the small boy who
possesses a cart that looks like real
red devil, has about attained the heights
Of juvenile ambition.
The wide popularity and use OF the auto
mobile may be said to be responsible for
revival lately of the leg motor, which has
now been dubbed the 'pushmobile." In
the neighborhood of New York, where the
whiz cars are in evidence by Inc thousands
and where cup races form the burden OF
domestic discussions, ''pushmobiles" are be-
ing developed to high speeds. A ciun OF
boys has been formed and preparations are
now making for a free-for-all race meet
over a part of the Vanderbilt cup course,
for gold trophy.
II this small-boy fad gains much head
way the streets and roads of the District
may soon be choked with dangers. The
youngsters can be relied upon to follow a
fashion to the limit.

America and Education.

Seth Low of New York was the guest OF
the Commercial Club of Montgomery. Ala
bama, Friday night. and made an excellent
speech On the subject of education he said
I'm the city of New York we know what
1t Is to be called upon to provide education
for a vast army of children. many of whom
cannot even speak the English language In
the last four years L suppose the city has
appropriated not far from $40,OO0,OO0 for
new school buildings alone, to provide for
this army of children But New York Is
the point at which the wealth of the nation
Is largely conferred. and 1t Is hardly too
much to say that the nation Itself Is work
ing through New York city to Americanize
and to educate the children of the immi-
grant. What the wealth of the United
States is doing locally. through the city of
New York, 1t ought to do everywhere, when
the need is correspondingly great
We quarrel with 1t a good zeal. and are
constantly making changes of one kind and
another, but the fact remains that our
everyday school system is one Of our chief
claims to the worlds notice Next after our
ordered liberty comes our provision for edu-
cation an attraction for the large num-
Der of worthy and desirable foreigners who
seek America to make homes. All such peo-
pie appreciate the value of instruction. and
desire it in the fullest possible measure for
their children. They are not all for the dol
lar They want chance at that, but be-
yond that they look to the advancement
which education provides; and once they
shake down in the American environment
their first thought is of the schools and
having their children enrolled.
When the full truth is revealed 1t will
probably be found that much of the bad
feeling in Japan growing out of the San
Francisco matter had it's origin in an exag-
gerated account of the difficulty. Undoubt-
eddy some Japanese newspapers misrepre-
scented the case to their readers. giving the
impression that the japanese children in
San Francisco had been denied all school
facilities. One paper printed a cartoon rep
resenting Uncle Sam as kicking Japanese
children away from school house. The
actual affair was bad enough, and naturally
wounded the national PRIDE but to tell
Japanese people that in a country where so
much Is spent on schools, and where all
other foreigners are treated so well in that
respect, Japanese children were barred alto
gether from free public instruction, was to
anger them in the extreme
AS Mr.. Low suggests, great as our work
is In this field it should be greater Our
enormous wealth could not find a better
channel for usefulness. The task is to pro-
vide for children of all races and colors and
conditions, and the sum required Is very
large Stintng the schools is the worst of
economy. 1t approaches the character of a
crime. We have established a high stand
ard, are known far and near for il. and we
cannot afford to lower or neglect it. More
and not less money for schools should
everywhere be the rule, and no child be left
without opportunity to learn.

Change the Inauguration Date.

Practically everybody agrees that the
present date for the Inauguration of the
President and Vice President is too early
In the year. There is no dissent from the
contention, fully supported by the records.
that the March ceremonials have cost val
liable lives. There Is absolutely no question
that millions of American citizens have suf
fered extreme discomfort In consequence of
their patriotic attendance upon the inaugu-
rations. 1t is quite as well established that
later date, such as the Both of April. or
the last Thursday in April would not be at
tended by dangers and would offer a maxi
mum chance Of clement, enjoyable weather.
and would therefore be an infinitely more
suitable time for this important proceeding.
Such being the case, with virtually every
body agreed as to the wisdom and the ne
cessity for the change, the marvel Is that
1t was not ordered years ago. The demand
for the shifting Of the date has been voiced
insistently for q long time. 1t has come not
only from the citizens of Washington, who
are directly concerned every four years, but
also from the entire country. The attend
ance upon the Inauguration from the states
Is quadrennially increasing Consequently
the matter bears distinctly national aspect.
There is indeed in organization a committee
comprised of the governors Of the states
acting with the District Commissioners to
the end Of securing the necessary amend
ment to the Constitution. The Commission
ers have once again undertaken to forward
this reform by laying before Congress their
formal recommendation for the change
A few years ago success was almost at
tanned. but unfortunately an effort was
made to couple with the change-of-date
project proposal for the readjustment of
the congressional calendar, to bring the
houses into session sooner after their cleo
ton. This 1t was found. involved serious
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1906-12-09

problems affecting the relations between thu
presidential Office and the national iegisia-
ture. No practical solution of those prob
lens has yet been found. As long as the
two matters are associated nothing is likely
to be done to cure the evil of an early in
auguration.
1t Is therefore hoped that the friends of
the later date for the Inauguration viii con-
centrate their efforts now upon the joint
resolution which simply provides for the ex-
tension Of the present presidential term
from March 4, 1909. to the last Thursday in
April Of the same year, and the mainte-
nance thereafter Of the Aprif limit of the
term. This involves of course, an amend
ment to the Constitution, and the process of
securing that alteration of the fundamental
law Is slow and difficult. But II Congress
will act at this session it will be possible to
submit the question to the state legislatures
in season to secure the requisite approval
by three fourths to affect the next inaugu-
ration.
1t should always be borne in mind In this
connection that the possible objection to an
extension OF presidential term for several
weeks has less force In the case Of the
present occupant OF that office than ordina-
rily, he having entered upon his first term
in September, 1901, and consequently. II the
joint resolution is finally adopted and ap-
proved, when his successor is inaugurated
in April, 1909, he will have served even less
than eight years In the course OF his two
terms OF office.

The Lords and the Commons

The house of lords has just faced public
opinion in England without finching. 1t has
dared to go counter to public sentiment in
the matter of the education bill, by radically
changing the measure as it came from the
commons and persisting in its alterations
TO the point of passing the bill The result
OF this action has been a revival of the uer
ennial protest against the upper house Of
parliament and the outcry abolish the
house of lords" has been lately heard fire..
quently and loudly, but without effect unon
the peers.
The house of lords is an anomalous instf-
tuition. Rendered immune from popular re-
buke by virtue of their hereditary and life
time rights the lords might be expected tn
take an aggressive, arrogant attitude to-
ward legislation and give no heed what
ever to the clamors of the people. But in
fact so rarely does this body adopt an in
dependent course and act as a coordinate
body of the parliament that the instances
are notable and sensational. Only once in
recent years has the upper house taken the
popular side In contest with the COM
mons. That was when 1t stood out to the
end against Gladstones home rule bill.
which the premier had driven through the
lower house despite the protests of English
iASh, AOi oHCc III IONS WQlie, the
people on the eastern side Of the Irish sea
exclaimed almost as one man. Thank
Heaven We have house of lords to save
U.S."
Almost invariably, however, the lords
have. on their rare excursions into legisla-
tive controversy. gone squarely against the
current of public sentiment. 1t would seem
as though they feel 1t to be Incumbent upon
them TO do this occasionally to maintain
their dignity as legislators. For months
and years at time they daily along indif-
ferently, perfunctorily registering their rat
ifcation of the measures already passed by
the commons, now and then for mere forms
sake proposing amendments to correct OBJ
vious errors. The leaders of the commons
have assumed steadily a larger share of
legislative responsibility for their house
than was known in former years. There has
been, in truth, a good deal Of bullying Of
the lords. and 1t has been popular pastime
for aggressive members of the lower house
to "tweak the ermine' by sighting refer
ences to the supernumerary body on the
other side of Westminster.
This education bill trouble will probably
not result In any definite campaign against
the lords as institution. That game Is
dangerous. The present tendency in Eng
lish a.ii'cs just now is decidedly radical,
with a strong socialistic DRIFT, and the wiser
heads are not likely to allow the situation
to develop beyond the stage of mere pubic
clamors.

Judge Harlan and Kentucky Politics.

Judge Harlan and Kentucky Politics.
Justice John M. Harlan, after delibera-
ton. has refused to permit the use of his
name in connection with the republican
nomination for governor of Kentucky. The
race takes place next year, and owing to
some sharp divisions in the democratic
party the republicans are little heartened
over the prospects.
tribute of an unusual character was
paid to Judge Harlan in this call. He has
not been resident Of Kentucky, or
factor in political matters. for thirty years.
When he took his seat on the Supreme
bench he became resident of Washing
ton, and ceased Of course to busy himself
with politics. He was then young man
turned forty, and had been the leader Of his
party at home for many years. He had
made two brilliant though ineffective races
for governor. and had appeared as a dele
gate in several nationaf conventions lead
ing the bluegrass forces. At Cincinnati In
1876 he had championed the cause of his
friend Mr.. Bristow for President, and man
aged the campaign with skill and dignity.
But the offer of Supreme Court Justice
ship proved tempting, and he quilted a field
where he had exhibited many high and
notable qualities.
The men who addressed Judge Harlan re-
membered those days, and desired him to
return, and, with the added prestige Of his
long and eminent national services, lead
his party again in an effort for state SUI
premacy. They saw him in his old cam
paigning form, and he appeared to them
the man for the emergency. They may,
however have been mistaken. AS yigor-
GUS as ever intellectually Judge Harlan I'M
dnI ta11t Ia ic n Hn,,lt
agine him resuming with readiness, even
after so long 4 rest, the power which as a
speaker he exerted as a young man over
public audiences.
But the times have changed and the
Kentucky people with them. Though
known by reputation to all. Judge Harlan
is personally stranger to the great ma
jerity:of the men of both parties who are
most active and influential in Kentucky
politics today. Many of them are young
enough to be his sons. Gov. Beckham the
democratic nominee for United States SEN
ator, was coming his primer at his moth
er's knees when Judge Harlan left the
state, while the democratic candidate for
governor Is but slightly older Moreover,
latterly n-chine politics has obtained.
and the problem today is that of dislodging
men elected to office and protected there by
purely machine methods.
For this reason it would appear that the
republicans would best improve their op-
portunity by choosing for leader a man
Of course their strongest-who is entirely
familiar with the situation from having
been on the ground and seen it develop.
and whose personal acquaintance with the
voters will give to his appeals an intimacy
which those of Judge Harlan-in all other
particulars attractive and persuasive
would have lacked.
