pany is dying at the Allegheny Cen

sciousness long enough to tell his
story of the assault after reaching the
hospital. He said that he had come
to Pittsburg to collect some money
and while crossing the tracks of the
West Penn division of the Pennsyl-
vania railroad in Allegheny on his way
home, he was set upon by three ne
groes, who beat him. He says he knew
nothing more until reused by the loco
motive crushing his limbs. His cries
brought some railroad men, who sum-

the hospital. Driska gave good de-
scription of the assailants, and a gen.
eral alarm was sent throughout Allie
gheny county by the police. Robbery

Luncheon and Business.

In the large cities there are so many
clubs. and so many of the business men
live in the suburbs, that club life plays
comparatively little part in business. cx-
cept during the luncheon hour.
This period has therefore grown to BE
a highly appreciated part of the busl-
ness day. Meeting at such time men
come TO know their competitors or GUS
toners or those OF whom who they do
their own buying. on the basis OF social.
friendly, and perhaps gOssipy hour. II
Is recognized as an adjunct Of business
without which conditions would indeed
be very different.
No one will dispute that such places
have vast advantage over those where
the manufacturers meet but seldom,
and then usually by chance and without
the intimate friendliness which comes
with repeated social hours together.
This from a practical journal of
business-"The Iron Age"-illus-
trates one of the opportunities
which awaits the local Chamber of
Commerce. It's building should by
all means provide this facility for
friendly association and exchange of
ideas. Washington has long suffered
from the lack Of it.

be the surest cropping lands in the
country. On many of them, the
cropping season, practically, viii
never end. When one crop is har-
vested another may be put in, and
so long as the soil is given proper
fertilization there will be no end to
it's productiveness.
But all this presents a new method

intensive farming; what he wants is
more land, more horses, more ma
chinery, and everything on a bigger
scale.
The success of the reclamation
project as a whole must depend on
inducing American farmers to con-
tent themselves with smaller and
more closely cultivated areas. Per-
haps they will come to it, but the
signs are not very promising just
now. Virginia, with its wonderful
climate, its splendid markets, it's
myriad attractions, could make
room for a half million of these
Western farmers who are selling out
to go to Canada; but it doesn't get
them. Virginia would be a better
place for them to go; but they will
not come East.

the average eight-room warehouse

years.
The other line OF advance depends
upon the new School House Commits
sion. Its three members have in
spected school buildings throughout
the East. They have had in mind
the problem of our older and denser
sections. Behind the creation of the
commission was the hope that its
members might show the need and
devise a means for constructing
single large, fre-proof buildings
with sufficient play-space and educa-
tional equipment, to supplant several
groups of the smaller and less de-
sirable structures.
The surveying is now about finish
ed. The members of the commission
will soon be at work upon their re-
port. Every citizen who appreciates
the discredit of Atlanta's present
plight and understands today's need
in Washington will hope for vigor-
Gus opinions and specific plans,

Not for MOIineux Alone.

Roland b. Molineux has earned
congratulations on the final success
of his hard battle 70 have his photo
graph and his BertillOn measure
ments removed from the rogues'
gallery in New York. 1t took an act
of Legislature for him to obtain this
justice, but il was well worth fight
ing for. He was long since declared
innocent of the crime of which he
was accused. And yet there in the
department of scoundrels was kept
his picture and the other records
that made him still a criminal. That
he has won the day against this sort
of thing is a potential victory for
every citizen in the land.
The rOgues' galleries of all our
great cities are filled with the photo
graphs of men who are unquestion-
ably without the faint of crime, yet
the visible stigma on their charac-
ters is not removed. So far as we
are aware, it is not the practice to
destroy the photographs Of men
who are accused, but who have
afterward been declared guiltless by
4 jury of their peers.
1t should not be necessary that a
man be compelled to go to a Legis-
lature for this simple act of justice.
Whenever man accused of crime
has been declared innocent all traces
of his examination and identified
tion at police headquarters should,
under proper certifcation, be
promptly removed. 1t is bad enough
for an innocent man to be dragged
off to Jail in any event; it is still
worse that complete justice be not
done him after he has won his way
to freedom.

Atlanta'S Schools and Ours.

AtIanta's utter failure to provide
school quarters for her growing
population of children will strike
Washingtonians as a municipal dis
grace. According to Ray Stannard
Baker in THE American Magazine, I"
not less than 10000 prospective citi-
zens are growing up in the Georgian
Capital in idleness and worse for
lack of desk space. Atlanta will
reap the harvest in bad citizenship,
as Mr.. Baker well suggests.
Yet we of the Nations Capital
must speak our disapproval softly.
We are none too well off. While not
more than 1000 or 5000 of our chill
dren are thought to be out of school,
we must not forget that fully 1000
aredn buildings utterly unsuited TO
educational uses. Thus in George
town, in the near vicinity of the new
Anthony Hyde building, tots attend
kindergarten in the basement of a
private house and youngsters of ten
and twelve are taught sewing and
carpentery in a frame shack which
the authorities would quickly con-
denim were the owners private citi-
zens. All in all, we spend this year
S49,O56 on rented school quarters,
and practically every single foot of
space so acquired handicaps teach
ers and pupils alike.
To advance along two lines we
must look for improvement of this
situation.
In less thickly settled parts of
town we must have more buildings
like this new Hyde School or better.
1t reveals the skill of the architect.
If the allowance for it skimped both
designer and builder, il is yet more
of an inspiration to beauty for the
children who study within it than

A Good Fighter.

This newspaper has mighty little
sympathy with the purposes and
ideals of the American Protective
Tariff League. 1t doesn't think there
is any excuse for the United States
longer shutting its eyes against the
fact that the whole world is en-
gagged in a process of tariff adjust
ments, and that an ossifed tariff in
wolves the menace of an ossified
commerce.
But while disagreeing with the
purposes of the league, we are COM
PEELED to express admiration for its
ways of fighting. 1t stands where
everybody can see il. 1t fights
squarely. 1t doesn't befog the is
sue. It isn't afraid, apparently, of
anybody who gets in its way. 1t is
Supremely confident that the peo-
pie are with it, and the magnifi-
cence of that confidence frequently
bluffs" other people into the sus-
piciOn that maybe they are.
If the people who want the tariff
revised had one-half the courage
and willingness to fight that is dis
played by the American Protective
Tariff League; if they were as will
ing to come squarely up to the
scratch and tell just what they
wanted, and to announce their pur-
pose to keep fighting till they get it,
the tariff would soon be revised.
For the reason that il has the
best fighting capacity on its side,
the Dingley tariff is a long way to
the vantage in this contest.
