WILLIAM E. CHANDLER,
Retiring Chairman of Spanish Treaty
Claims Commission.
One Reason Advanced Is
Difference With

Another Is Opposition to
Appointment of
Daugherty.

What motive has led TO tho resigna-
ton OF former Senator William L.
Chandler, OF New Hampshire. as a mem
her Of the Spanish Treaty Claims Com
mission, and as chairman Of that body.
is a question that has aroused wide
discussion in official circles.
No official announcement as to the
reasons for Mr.. Chan Hers resignation
has come from Oyster Bay, but IL is
taken for granted here that he has
concluded 10 quit the commission for
good. The reasons understood here to
have prompted Mr. Chambers action
Is his objection to the appointment of
Harry X. Daugherty. OF Mercer county.
Pennsylvania, as a member OF the COM
mission.
This explanation is not regarded in
many quarters as quite ADEQUATE, IN
view OF former Senator Chambers diff
ferences with the President growing out
of the action OF Mr.. Roosevelt in con-
signing the distinguished son OF New
Hampshire to the Ananias Club. Man

DemOcracy'S Open Door.

Opportunism (-tun iz'm). n. (Cf- F.

party lie in the peoples general de-
mand for lower tariff rates. Duties

Gated in every Democratic platform
since the election of Frank Pierce.
The opportunities or circum-

therefore, do not lie in new depar-
lures like unrestricted coinage of
anything; they depend upon just
emphasis of one of Democracy's old

Leaders are to be chosen for both

the country toward it. For the

another Custom Threatened.

Z--In walking with a man you should
not take his arm nor permit MIN TO take
yours. Walk independently. ONLY Grip
pies, blind and aged people need a sup
porting arm on the street.
So does one of the most genial of
bur woman mentors dispose of an es-
'tabbshed and precious custom. The
world might not note what Marie
Corelli had TO say on such a subject,
or Mrs. Charlotte Perkins Gilman
Stetson. Those slanted ladies would
object to taking a mans arm just
TO be smart. But when Mrs Mar
garet z. Sangster takes such a
stand we may regret it ever so
much, but we have got to take no
tice just the same.
Ordinary folks cannot help won
idering, though, what has happened
ITO Mrs. Sangster's memory. It's
not so very long ago, as the heart
keeps time, when this sweet per-
sonality had crinoline for its
frame, and the hair was drawn
back over smooth white brow with
= severity every flash of the exes
pad droop OF the lids must have

denied. In those days, we warrant,
this gentle lady would not have
written "only cripples, blind and
aged people need a supporting arm
on the street"
And the girls for whom Mrs.
Sangster writes now-they are not
different, save in dress. In lieu Of
crinoline they have the walking
skirt; in lieu of the old fur-lined
circular" they wear golf jackets
and stoles. But the same purring
goes on beneath the little jacket as
under the old-style pelisse, and on
the way TO evening church, or home
from singing school, or both ways
to comic opera, there j. the same
need of "a supporting arm" which
Mrs. Sangster must once have felt,
but now sets aside so lightly.
For our part we shall do what
we can to cling 10 the old custom.
OF course, we can't manage it alone.
There will have TO he reciprocation,
so 10 speak. But we think we know
gentle ladies Of several ages who
will still need a supporting arm on
the street" "a any time we feel like
offering one or they feel the need
of a fall walking suit and hat TO
match.

"a noisy noise annoys an oyster"
Not a thousand years ago this
passed for wit in what is known as
society with a capital S. Men of
brains and women of culture en-.
dured it through the universal fear
of seeming TO obtrude ideas on the
unwilling. Now and then intellect
would break down tho bars, and
then folk at dinner or in drawing
rooms would talk sense; but it is
not too much TO say that the vogue
has been inanity and the practice
idiocy.
The times change. We get our
social inspiration from London, and
in the British capital Society is now
wearing the students mortar board
and gown. To be sure, the news is
that il has taken to tattoOing, while
it dips lightly into botany. But a
considerable advance over ''What!

AT School In the District.

Washington shows forth this
week as one Of the nations most
important educational centers. Her
enrolment of more than $4,000 pupils
in the public schools is being aug
mented by the registration of al
unusual number of non-residents IN
District boarding schools, and the
naturalization of students for a
group of excellent colleges and uni
versities headed by George Wash
ington and Georgetown.
The Capital is prominent in the
field Of education of right. From
the kindergarten 10 the highest
postgraduate coursee, the student
has here exceptional opportunities.
Congress and our local authorities
merely reflect the will of the nation
when they contend that the public
school system at the Capital should
be a model for all other cities. Pri-
vate schools can here unite the ad-
vantages of the old-time academy
with a social training no other city
can offer. And the collegiate insti-
tutions find in the laboratories, the
statistical and scientific bureaus Of
the Government, and the Library of
Congress an equipment rivaling that
of even the oldest and richest uni
versity elsewhere.
For about ten years the most i'm
portant factor in this chain of edu-
cational advantages - the public
school-has suffered from internal
discord, from lack of pedagogical
inspiration, from i'll usage. A new
school law constructed for the ex-
pljcit purpose of correcting that
situation has been passed. A new
Board of Education and a new Su-
perintendent have taken charge. Of
the high purposes of the former
and the pedagogical capability Of
the latter there can be and is no
question.
The past year has been one of
making ready. That which begins
today must be one Of fulfllment, or
the Board of Education must see TO
it. resolutely. that the barrier to
fulfllment is removed. The whole
body of parents, sharing this atti-
tude, will watch the operations of
the system for the next nine
months not only with the utmost
care, but also in the most sincere
hope that our schools may be az last
through with discord, incomPetency,
and unworthy purposes.
