Teach the Children to Swim,

The suggestion that has just been made
to the Commissioners by the District in
spector of plumbing that swimming be
taught IN the local public schools is we'll
worth consideration. Swimming is not to
be regarded as an accomplishment, but as
u necessary part of the training of any
person The boy or girl who is not taught
10 swim at early age Is handicapped
1t il far easier to learn young than to
acquire the knack in later years. Many
a life has been saved through the skill in
tn" water acquired in youth. and if the
natatory art were taught Systematically
in the schools of all cities the annual record
OF drOwnings would be greatly diminished
People are much more exposed TO water
dangers nowadays than ever before The
railroads and troiiays carry millions to
resorts where water pleasures are rendered
accessible. Boating. bathing and fishing
are within the reach of vast multi
tudes. and in consequence every year these
people are exposed to the possibility of

owing to the ravages of the insects. but a
systematic campaign against the pests Will
go far toward preserving Washington's
tree glory next year. The caterpillars are
crawling about on the walks and are within
easy reach on the tree trunks where they
are building their cocoons and going into
winter quarters. Every worm crushed at
present Will prevent later the Matching of
numerous progeny and will save many
leaves in 1905. If each house holder would
see to 1t that the tree in front of his prem
ises Is fairly cleared of these undesirable
creatures the city will be fairly well
secured. Meanwhile the authorities should
be diligent in their care of the trees in the
reservations which have this season bean
badly marred by the worms.

death. The percentage of swimmers among
them is remarkably low. This is because
only a few have been systematically taught
to swim in their youth and have had Few
opportunities to learn in their adult years.
Washington has been progressive in many
departments of public education. and II
should be abreast of the van in this par
ticular. This is no fad. favored by peda-
gogic cranks but sensible. practical prop
osition which has often been preached I'M
officially and which has indeed run in the
minds of citizens for years. The provision
of means to accomplish the end would, OF
course. cost some money. Every improve
ment in the processes of education and
child training costs money But the ex-
penditure would be profitable in terms of
lives saved. We have established a juvenile
court to watch over the morals of the
young of Washington and we are trying
experiments in education to give the less
capable youngsters A fair chance to
brighten up their minds before entering upon
the life race We have equipped play
grounds to give them opportunities to eX-
ercise their bodies while they are growing
mentally and physically. 1t would seem to
be only logical extension of the system OF
child rearing to provide them with swim
rlng pools, where they can be trained in
one of the most necessary branches of
general education.

bell'on or for other crime. 1t is therefore
an object of particular adherence in those
southern states which have enacted
"grandfat her-claUSe'' laws or have by other
means reduced eliminated the negro
votes. Therefore If Georgia could by any
means succeed In it's contemplated attack
upon the fourteenth amendment as a move
in its anti-railroad campaign 1t would con-
fer a boon upon all the states which have
already passed suffrage restriction laws or
plan to d. so.
This amendment it is perhaps important
to note. was proposed to the legislatures OF
the several states by the Thirty ninth Con-
gress on the 18th of June 1866. 1t was
one of the measures adopted by Congress
to bring about certain Establishments occa-
stoned by the war between the states. On
the 2lst of July. 1865, Congress adopted a
concurrent resolution declaring the amend
ment to be part of the Constitution. hav-
ing been ratified by the legislatures of Con-
recticut. Tennessee New Jersey, Oregon.
Vermont, New York. Ohio, Illinois, West
Virginia. Kansas. Maine. Nevada. Missouri,
Indiana. Minnesota. New Hampshire Mas
sachusetts. Nebraska. Iowa. Arkansas,
Florida. North Carolina. Alabama. South
Carolina and Louisiana, being three
fourthS and more OF the states or the
Union. Georgia rejected the amendment
November 13. 1866. but ratified 1t July 81,
1868. 1t repeated it's ratification February
q 1870.
1t remains to be seen whether the attack
is to be made upon the amendment by
Georgia on the ground of the insufficiency
of the ratification process. On numerous
occasions the suggestion has been advanced
that this move might be made, it being al
legged that some of the state legislatures
which gave their assent to the post-belium
articles were not properly to be regarded
as representatives of the popular will in
those commonwealths. 1t might be whole
some for the political health of the country
to have this matter finally threshed out be-
fore the Supreme Court of the United
States. which would possibly be placed in
the rather anomalous position of entertain
ing simultaneously appeals from the rail-
roads alleging the unconstitutionality of
state laws. and appeal from state al
leging the unconsttutionality of the Con-
Stituton.

Judge Parker and His Obsession.

Naturally Judge Parker is greatly i'm
pressed with the latest figures offered in
support of the warn that Mr. Roosevelt
election was bought out of hand. He has
Consoied himself with that idea for three
years. and eagerly snaps UP anything in
line with it Nothing would stagger him
Tell him that Mr. Hartman alone sub
SCr!bed two million six hundred thousand
dollars to that campaign. and he will be-
Ieyc il and propose an investigation The
Ob"ssion IS quite exCusab!e. If the truth
about his defeat for the presidenCy-that it
grew well out of the nature of his can
djdaCy out of the extraordinary popu-
larity Of the other man-should ever dawn
upon him he will from that day be most
unhappy. For no man of ability and high
standing and character can realize that he
has been made tool by sCheming capt
talists and politicians without experiencing
moments of bitterness. Judge Parker
happiness therefore depends upon his hold
ing on to his present notions about the con-
test of 1904. Let no man with sympathy
In his bosom attempt to disturb them
Al the same time the country knows the
story of the nomination made at St Louis
three years ago and of the campaign that
followed. II was the boldcst attempt at
hunCo in the history of our politics. a few
very wealthy men In New York put up the
game, and played it through. As soon as
they had become convinced that Mr. Bryan
would not try for the prize they sought it
for a man upon whom they felt they could
rely They decided upon Judge Parker, and
made him the leader. He was unknown to
the country at large. but was accepted by
southern and middle states democrats on
tho assurance that his New York sponsors
would raise the wind" and watt him to
victory. That they raised all they could
"" may be sure. but that they could not
raise enough for their purpose testified. not

ton expenses. for they had none. but to
tat fact that the election could not be
bought.
BY all means let US have done with the
lavish use of money in our elections; and
10 step of greater Importance could be
teken toward that end than making such a
candidacy as was Judge Parker's impossi-
bile In the future. When our public men re-
fuse the temptations of plutocrats 10 carry
their standards and try to obtain office for
plutocratic purposes. we shall have gained
Immensely in the way of eliminating hypoc-
risy from our campaigns and corruption

The Marine Speed Race.

| Wireless reports from the Lusitania indi-
cate that the great turbiner will draw
| abreast of Sandy Hook lightship early to-
| morrow morning. in which case she will
! beat all records for the westward transat-
| lantic voyage and establish new mark in
| seafaring. Preparations under way in
| New York to give the liner a rousng well
come on her arrival. If she should break
| the records and restore the lag of ocean
! supremacy to England her victory will be
marked by one of the most posing out
bursts of enthusiasm ever Witnessed in New
! York harbor.
Close upon the heels of the news from
| Germany which indicates that the marine au-
thorties there are already planning a boat
that will beat the Lusitania. comes word
from London that Belfast firm of ship
builders. world renowned is even now en-
gagged in designing d vessel which will
eclipse every previous effort in marine ar
| chitecture. Naturally the plans are being
| closely guarded. and only speculation re-
garding her design anu engine equipment
is in circulation. But the belief is enter
| tanned abroad that it Is the purpose of the
| White Star Company. which has given the
| order to put out a turbine boat of mann
| moth proportions and great speed. No guess
as to her probable rate is ventured.
| If this dispatch is we'll founded the Eng
! lish builders have been a bit ahead of the
| German companies in preparing to defend
/ the title to the ocean championship The
new White Star liner is likely to be in COM
! mission some time before any new giant
| racer that may come out of Hamburg. and
| If she proves a success against the Lusi-
| tsnia's record she may hold her own
| against the German rival. In this case it
will be necessary for the German engineers
and marine architects to try again, possibly
for a 30-knot boat or better.
Meanwhile nothing Is even proposed on
this side of the Atlantic in the way of up
to-date marine construction. American
naval enterprise has been for long time
confined to the building of warships in
which department We have held our own,
save in the one instance Of the Dread
naught. Provision, however, has been
made for a 20,0OO-ton battleship, which will
bring this navy up to the Dreadnaught
standard as to tonnage and probably as to
efficiency as well. Whether we will then be
distanced y foreign constructions under

to be seen

mittee has thrust upon the party the star
ting question What is a democrat? The
only way out of the fog lies in this direc-

to define the indefinable. and are willing to
let the party drift along with the name
