almost unknown. The danger lies
in the other direction-that with
heat to be had for the mere turning
of a valve, our living rooms win be
kept at a temperature certain to
lessen our energies and only too
capable of weakening our lungs.
This is the threshold of winter-a
good time to join the army of
health by making sure of fresh air.
Sleep with the windows open; YOU
win be a thousand times repaidsfor
the momentary discomfort of slid
ing into a cold bed BY physical
hardihood and quickened step next
day. Keep out Of doors whenever
you can; there is nothing in rain
storm or a driving snow at which
good health and proper clothing can
not laugh. Above everything, do
not starve your lungs-whether on
diet of baked air, or air used over
and over again, or too little air.
Have too much sense TO turn the
blessing of your heat supply into
the curse of chronic cold, eatarrh,
or tuberculosis.

The Press Gallery.

The Congressional press gallery,
with quasi-offieial standing, to which
are admitted the correspondents Of
newspapers represented in Wash
ington, is a unique institution. The
number of newspaper men whom
the Congressional session draws to
the Capitol is rather more than half
the number of Congressman and
Senators combined. Nobody occu-
pies so intimate a relationship to
the men who make the laws as the
men who write the day-by-day his
tory of the process.
In the course of the recess now
coming to an end, the quarters pro-
vided for these men have been at
traetively and conveniently refur-
nished. But this improvement
merely skirts the edge of the diff
ficulty which has come more and
more to hamper the correspondents.
That is that the corps has outgrown
its old quarters. 1t needs more
space, and it needs modern equip
ment. The members of the corps
are fully competent to look after
their own interests, but it will do
no harm to suggest that the pres
ent is an especially propitious time
for them to urge an improvement Of
the conditions at the Capitol in
these two respects.
The House and Senate Office build
ings win shortly be occupied, and
thereupon the pressure for room in
the Capitol building VIII be much
relieved. 1t should be possible, Incl
dent to this Encouragement, for the
Committee on Rules to assign addi-
tional space to the press gallery in
either wing OF the Capitol, espe-
cialIy room for installation Of type
writer's. The newspaper workers
are seriously handicapped by the
fact that they cannot use machines
at the Capitol. There is no place to
keep them; yet the writing ma
chine is the greatest aid that could
possibly be provided
The newspaper men have not
overlooked the possibilities of i'm
provement in this direction, and
they should be able effectively to
impress their needs upon the au-
thorities of both houses. There has
/ been good reason in the past foI
combining the correspondents t.
rather cramped quarters; but with
the new Office buildings there ought
to be room enough for everybody
who must work at the Capitol, and
the newspaper men should get theil
! share of the new conyeniences.

An Effective Answer.

Mr.. Charles Moore and the Ma
tional Society of the Fine Arts have
done the District signal service in
taking up in series the unreasOned
and unrestrained attacks which
have been made lately on the plans
of the Park Commission. The peo-
pie of Washington are not narrow.
They are as able to see as the peo-
pie of Paris, Berlin, London, Rio5
Nuremberg, New York, Chicago, St
Louis, or any other city which has
set itself to artistic rights in the
past few years. But they cannot
Judge in the dark.
Every bit of light which is thrown
on the plans for Washington's prog
ress toward greater beauty has,
therefore, a distinct and present
value. This is particularly true
when the transpIanting or destruc-
ton of a few trees is proposed
whether the names of second-rate
statemen are attached to the trees
or not.
Short work and thorough, Mr..
Moore makes of the criticisms. In
answer to the cumulative estimates
Of the cost of fulfilling the plans, he
points out that every building con-
templated, every improvement like
the redemption Of Rock Creek Val.
ley, must be appropriated for in any
event. He finds persuasive paraI-
lei for the Park Commission in that
which made the plans for the pres
ent filtration plant of the District.
Best of all he makes it plain that
the Park Commits sion plans are, at
bottom, not the issue at all. That
has to do with the original L'Enfant
plan for the city. according to
which the Capital was plated, and
through Wilhelm spite Of fifty
years of artistic darkness-it has
been enabled to grow into its pres
ent distinction among the cities.
Probably the least worthy repre-
sentation which has been made
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1907-11-23
Tie Bryan Opposition.

Intimation is made that the CON
ference of members Of the Demo-
cratic national committee at French
Lick, Ind, was unfriendly to Mr.
Bryan, and designed to develop
something to the Nebraskan's dis
advantage. There is good reason
for belief that this is the case, and
still better reason for confidence
that the committees hostility will
be barren of results.
The present Democratic national
committee is about two-thirds anti
Bryan. The convention which Sc
lected it was anti-Bryan, and the
committee naturally reflects the
sentiment which dominated that
convention. Some Of the men who
were chosen as opponents of Bryan
are now converted to his standard,
but the committee without question
is still undoubtedly in control of
the men who would like to be rid Of
kini.
National committees, howeve r,
have little real influence An anti
Roosevelt Republican committee
would have been glad OF a method
to prevent the Presidents nomina-
ton in 1904; but the people were
for Roosevelt, just as the masses of
Democrats are now for Bryan and
the retiring national committee has
no real chance to influence the con-
vention. The delegates viii be for
Bryan, and the new national com
mittee viii be dominated by him.
He will probably dictate its selec-
ton of a chairman and executive
committee. The notion of seriously
influencing the convention, of pro
noting one mans chances or iniur-
ing those of another, through the
selection of a location and tempo
rary officers, is mostly bosh. As to
the committees control of the ere
dentials for the temporary organi
zation, there is no possibility OF
contests which would throw real
power into the committees hands.

To the Editor OF The washington Tines
Every public-spirited citizen Of the DIS
trics OF Columbia and every friend OF
our public schools must have keen
sense Of humiliation and disappointment
over the crisis in our educational affairs
precIpitated by the present conflict be
tween the Board OF Education and the
superintendent Of schools
The fact that there has been constant
complaint, unpleasantness, bitterness,
and trouble IN one way or other IN our
educational system for eight years or
more leads US to reflect whether the lack
OF responsibility to popular opinion upon
the part Of those who direct our educa-
tional affairs is not the dominant cause
or this serious and unfortunate situation.
The citizens of the District Of Columbia
and their children are pre-eminenuy the
sufferers in this trouble, while those
who have inflicted the suffering are in
no way responsible to them Our ouly
redress seems to be 10 stir up strong
public sentiment that will impress Con-
gress with the seriousness of the situa-
ton and inspire them Immediately to
provide an adequate remedy.
Our knowledge Of the present crisis is
confined largely to the charges made
against the Superintendent Of Schools by
the Board of Education through the
public press, and the reply Of the super
intenGent to the same.
Charges Appear Frivolous.
It is not my purpose 70 enter into the
merits Of the controversy, aside from
the presentation Of it that has appeared
in the public press, as both parties TO
the controversy are alike strangers to
me- The specific charges made against
the superintendent, in general. appear
frivolous. and 1t would seem that the
differences that they present should be
adjusted In some private way. or be pa
tientiy borne until the end of the school
year, without throwing the community
and the schools, in the middle of the
school year. into the paralysis from
which we are suffering today.
1t would appear that the charges made

The Tariff and Tobacco.

Some best evidence" comes to
light, now and then, on the relation
OF the tariff to the trusts. Not long
ago it was a chief figure in the CON
troll of our sugar supplies who spoke
POLITICALLY of protection as the
mother of trusts"
Now comes Vice President VIII
liam r. Harris, of the American To-
bacco Company. to defend his cor
poration against the Department of
Justice. He does so by saying that
the prevailing tariff-nOt the wick
edness of his company-gives it a
monopoly on this side of the water.
while a corresponding differential
gives its associate in England a sim
liar command Of the British Isles.
These two companies were once
competitors. But now British du-
ties almost equal the selling price
of British-made wares, and Ameri-
can duties operate to exclude the
British manufacturer from this
country" Wherefore, the British
company manufactures its own
american" cigarettes, and the
American company manufactures
its own British tObaccos.
This is a tribute to the principle
of high duties which the stand
patters are not likely to emphasize
during q session of Congress just
preceding an election.
