Chairman OF House Committee Visits
District Building.
Chairman Smith, of the House District
Committee, yesterday called on the Dis
trict Commissioners and talked for some
time over proposed local legislation.
One subject discussed was the District
school system. So far but one bill has
been introduced in the House concern
ing the schools. that OF A. 5. Burleson,
Of Texas, doing away with a school
board entirely and putting the schools
in the hands Of a director of education,
appointed by the President
Sentiments expressed TO date are for
the Commissioners TO appoint the board
for the President to appoint a school
director; for the residents Of the District
10 elect a board; for a Congressional
committee to take charge.
The latter proposition has not found
much favor in the House, principally for
the reason that the members incline 10
the belief such action would not be legal
The Burleson bill in the House and the
Burkett resolution in the Senate will
serve the purpose of bringing the school
matters before the Senate and House
committees at an early date.
Chairman Smith received from the
North Capitol and lexington Citizens As
sociation a communication. embodying a
resolution recently adopted for a cross
town car line. The resolution asks for a
continuation of the double-track line of

Opposed to PesSimism.

What, let me ask, are some of the
grounds upon which the pessimist of
these days bases his fears for the safe
" of our institutions? He persuades
himself to believe that the trend In
public affairs to-day is toward the
Capitalization Of all governmental
power in the nation and the destruc-
tion of the rights of the States. If
this were really the case, the duty OF
every American would be TO resist such
a tendency by every means in his pow
er. A national government for ma
tional affairs. and State governments
for State affairs. is the foundation rock
upon which our institutions rest Any
serious departure from that principle
would bring disaster upon the Ameri-
can people and upon the American sys-
TEN of free government.
But the fact is not as the pessimist
alleges il to be. The American people are
more determined than at any time in their
history to maintain both national and
State rights. as those rights exist under
the Union ordained by the Constitution.
/ say the people of the United States. for
although the Constitution was accepted
by the separate action of the people in
their respective States, they moved to-
gether. in their collective capacity, as
one people. in creating a nation for GER
tain specified objects of general concern.
They viii not patiently consider any sug-
gestion or device that looks TO a Union
upon any other basis. They will maintain,
at whatever cost and in all their integrity,
both national and State rights.

 Such is the decision of the Executive Committee of the Mine Owners Associa- tion today. The change from Wednes- day to Thursday was made to allow time to get men from other parts here to replace strikers. Governor Sparks will come to Goldfield on Thursday. The troops now here will be scattered through the camp and will practically guard the mines. The card system, as used at Cripple Creek. will be intro duced. Frank A. Keith, general mana ger of the Tonopah Mining Company. and other prominent mining officials. say that other camps are here in con- sultation with the Goidheld owners.
 The officials of the Mine Owners As- sociatfon assert that they have not imported large number of non-union men to take the places of the strikers, but are depending on those now in the Federation who are ready to withdraw.

 The Bishop spoke briefly but impress sively on this lesson.

The great truth of Christianity was in the life of Christ. His death came as a fulflmert of His prophecies. F&
