FLAG CHORUS
Two Hundred School Children
Entertain.

Entertain.
Last evening the children of onr
public schools, under the direction Of
Prof. G. G. Brownell, gave flag con-
cert. The concert was given in the
auditorium and when the curtain rose
the eye was greeted with the beautiful
spectacle Of 200 children sitting In
rows of twenty, ten tiers high and all
of them with American flags in their
hands, while from the center Of the
assembly dropped large emblem of
Old Glory.
The orchestra opened the program
with selection followed by the chill
dTen singing yankee Doodle. !"
Every time they we're encored they
would favor the audience with another
verse of that stirring song. This was
kept up until the house was in an
uproar and then Prof. BrOwnell
switched the scene by dropping the
curtain. 1.-THE Vacant Chair" was
next rendered by Prof. BrowDell with
the children as a chorus Their voices
blended in sweet harmony with this
old song of pathOs, and the way
their voices sWayed from a cresen-
do to a dimuendo and vice versa
showed the training that he had been
giving them had not fallen on barren
ground. z. E. Chandler, of Spokane
sang Marching Through Georgia"
and the children joined heartily in
the chorus. The orchestra then gave
a selection and this was followed by
the singing of "When Johnny Comes
Marching home Again." This song
was enhanced by the whistling chorus
that blended so truly that it sounded
} like a number of flutes playing ac-
4 compartment to the voices. The most
amusing thing Of the evening was the
entrance of a ragged company Of the
poys armed and dressed in the most
non descript manner and armed with
everything from bowie knife to q
bootjack. They came boldly from
the side entrance but someone dis
charged q pistol on their front aud

The Infantry and tho Dinner Bell.

The officers OF the infantry arm Of the

Mr. Macfarland on Prohibition

The people of the District are con-
fronted with an agitation, largely external
in origin, for the enactment by Congress
OF a law prohibiting the sale and manu-
facture Of liquors at the National Capital.
Commissioner Macfsrand has done we'll
therefore, at the inception of this agita-
ton, to place before the community the
facts respecting the regulation Of the
liquor traffic in the District. and TO sug-
gest means Of still further restricting the
traffic, if that should be found advisable.
by practicable methods along the lines of
those in force. Mr.. Macfarland SHOWS that
the sale Of intoxicating liquors is now for
hidden over a considerable area of the
District-about one-ffth. according TO the
claim of the prohibitionists themselves.
In residential sections a modified form NJ
local option prevails. and as to other nor
tons Of the city the excise board has \
large discretion in the grant of licenses.
Under the present license of $500 there are
in the neighborhood of $50 saloons fin a
population of $4,000.
According TO the report of Mai. Sylves-
ter, superintendent of police, the regula-
tions governing saloons are generally
observed. and the enforcement of the law
is attended with slight difficulty so far as
licensed bars are concerned. As every
body knows, Washington saloons close al
midnight and remain closed on Sundays:
not hguratively speaking, but actually.
The main work of the police concerns the
unlicensed Hduor traffic. conducted in So
called ''speakeasies." or by itinerant ven
doris, and in fake clubs charging a merely
nominal sum for membership. Evidence
against Offenders i'm these classes is noto-
Tiousiy difhcrlt to get. but the vigilance OF
the police has kept the Illicit sale of
liquor within relatively unimportant di-
mensions. ANY one who has observed the
operation OF liquor laws in other
cities where even minor police regulations
are practically impossible OF enforcement

Thoughts for Presidential Reflection. ''

Chicago lawyer, Eugene E. Prussing.

Moreover. the ideas which have attracted
the Presidents attention as worthy OF
reflection gain an Importance which. as
merely those Of a private citizen. they
would not otherwise have. It may be

success In carrying out a programme of
national corporation legislation, he points
out, must be along the line OF least re-
sistance. Enlist the state rights men

Prussing proposes the national incorpora-
ton OF corporations engaged in inter
state commerce and the conversions of all
banks and trust companies into national
banks, both measures of Capitalization
and sure TO be strongly criticised on that
ground. As to national corporations Mr.
Prussing proposes that they snail be
compelled 10 make annual reports for
publication; that their accounts shall be
open to government inspection. and that
they shall record with the Department
Of Commerce their ownership of stock
in other corporations, thus legitimizfne

corporation problem, he favors a COM

Mr.. Prussing would bring all banks

banks competitors of State banks anc

the regulation OF the saloon, as such reg
ulation goes in these United States.
But there are numerous people In the
District, as in every community. who
think the saloon so great an evil that it
should be abolished utterly. 1t seems
probable that the majority OF those hold
ing this opinion are residents of neighbOr-
hoods where prohibition now exists and
where public sentiment strongly sustains
II. Mr. Macfarland suggests that the area
of these prohibitory zones might be prof
itably extended OF that 1t might be left
with the residents OF given areas 20 de-
termine the question Of prohibition for
themselves. In other words, he would
combine prohibition in certain portions OF
the District with local option in others.
In addition, he suggests that an increase
of the amount OF the yearly license, or a
limitation Of the number Of licenses
that may be granted to one per 1000 of
the population. would have the effect of
restricting the liquor traffic.
All of these suggestions have the merit
of practicability. at least. That is TO say.
If enacted into law. the law could be en-
forced without any peculiar difficulty.
something which cannot be said Of a uni
form prohibition law affecting the entire
area Of the District. and antagonistic TO
the views Of considerable portion Of Its
inhabitants. II the District police force is
now inadequate in numbers. as X un-
doubtedly Is, II would be hopelessly
swamped with the business Of enforcing
a prohibitory law. That is a task no
municipal police force has ever been able
to accomplish with any conspicuous de-
gree Of success.

Paper Tariff Fosters Monopoly.

From the Baltimore American.
The remedy that the President will ask
Congress to apply is one entirely in har-
,nony with the principles Of the admins
tration. The demand for tariff legisla-
ton has taken some shape, and will prob
ably be reflected in the next Republican
platform. The Importance Of going over
some of the schedules will find nlustra-
ton in the methods of the Paper Trust.
The imposition of the present tariff on
paper has fOstered the combination
among the paper interests. Such is the
view of the President and those who
seek the repeal Of the tariff rate. The
tariff of So ton on newsprint paper has
been used 70 run up the price of paper
until even at the present quotations some
newspapers have felt Il necessary to in
crease their price from to cents.
