Taft and Wall Street.

Oh. well, such things are liable to
happen to the best regulated booms.
Judge Taft cannot keep his eye steadily
on Mr.. Forys. nor Mr.. Vorys his steadily
on his subordinates. Big enterprises
cannot be watched as closely as little
ones. Great zeal leads sometimes to
error. But what has happened, Only
that Judge Taft has been proclaimed
an individual in his own right There
is nothing new in that. Wall street did
not make the discovery. 1t has been
apparent all along. and many news
papers, not engaged in booming Judge
Taft. have given expression to it. The
whole stir simply shows how Wall
street stands with the country. It's an
prevail is dangerous; its enmity to he
desired. Judge Taft shrinks from the
former. while Mr.. Bryan sedulously cul-
tivates the latter.

School Administration and Safety

In responding to Mr.. Culberson's resO-
luton to inquire into the question of pro-
tecting the public schools of the capital
and their occupants from fire, the Senate
District committee may have opportunity
to observe the ill effects of separating
the school system from the District .mu-
nicipal government. On several occa-
sions this separation, effected by the
act of June, 1906, has appeared to work
out badly for the good of the schools.
There has been little cooperation be-
tween the school administration and the
District building in the matter of new
constructions and repairs, owing to the
difficulty of effecting complete under
standing of. purpose. But awkward as
are the relations now between the school
administration and the business branch
of the District government, they would
become infinitely more so under such a
measure as the Dolliver bill, which places
the power of appointment in a federal
official in not the slightest degree amen
able to the District officials or to local
public sentiment
The truth should by this time be ap-
parent to all that the two functions can
not be separated without causing friction
anu tIouDIS. HcfG ARE HldHN NUdtteTS
in the handling of which the school au-
thorities should be in the closest possible
touch with the responsible heads of the
municipal government. One of the most
important functions in the community
administration is that of teaching the
young. and the control of the schools is
as much part of the municipal organiza-
ton as the control of the police or the
firemen.
1t is now asserted on the one hand that
the District Commissioners were asked
by the board of education to install fire
alarms in the schools. and it is positively
denied that such a request was expressed
or received. The mere statement of the
issue illustrates the difficulty of MAIN
tanning the relations of these two i'm
portant public establishments upon the
present basis of separation.
AS for the safeguarding of the school
children from fire, certain measure Of
precaution can be taken by the school
authorities without further direction or
means. and these they appear to be now
taking. removing smaller children from
the upper to the lower floors, changing
doors to open outward. and as far as
means at hand will permit making other
alterations in the school arrangements
But the prime need is for schoolhouses
that will not burn like finder, for fire
proof buildings, in short, and to secure
these the appropriations must be mate
rally increased. and a broad policy Of
money provision must be adopted to per-
NIT the proper raising of the funds with
out unduly draining the tax revenues of
any single year.
Here again We have the old trouble
about the principle of drawing upon cur
rent revenues for extraordinary expendi-
lures. Until Congress changes front on
this question and grants to the District
the right to conduct its fiscal affairs on
business basis. as do other commune
ties. there will be endless annoyance and
delay and possibly heavy loss in the ad-
justment of local affairs

Silly War Talk.

From the San Francisco Chronicle.
The continuous talk about probable war
between this country and Japan Is pre-
sumably bought and paid for by some in
terest-possibly stock exchange gamblers
who think they see chance of profiting
by the depreciation of government securi-
ties on rumors with no foundation. That
supposition Is the more plausible because
the inspiration of these rumors seems to
be in Europe, where most of the foreign
japanese debt is held. At any rate. wheth-
err the object be a raid on Japanese bonds
or something else, the persistence of the
rumors with no foundation is evidence
that somebody's money Is behind them.

The Weather Bureau.

lightweight times in a hundred the
daily predictions of the weather bureau
are correct. That is a small percentage
of error, and as Prof. Willis L. Moore
the chief of the bureau, said recently
the House of Representatives, shippers
and business men can easily make al.
lowances for it. The proportion of error
in the storm warnings to mariners, by
flags and special bulletins. Is much small
er. The weather bureau Is useful and
we'll administered, and its expense to the
government is relatively small consider
ing it's excellent service to the com.
munity.

Regulation of Railroads.

Gov. Hughes in the course of a recent

the day Of the regulation of railroads by
the government has come and that on the
part of those who control the railroads 1t
would be the part of wisdom to acquiesce
therein. We fear that Mr.. Hughes is
right. The dishonesty and corruption with
which few railroads have been managed
has involved all the railroads in a com
mon fate, and fate which we deem de-
plOrable.

To which the editor replies: Cot
tonseed bulls and meal can be fed TO
horses and mules. 1t will be much
better to give about four pounds OF

If hulls were cheap as they used to be

However, it is best to raise hay and

do not think it would be as wholesome
as good hay. farmer should grow
