will be promptly discharged
when his side of the case is
heard. AS they state the mat
ter, the trouble grew out of
McKeith's taking up a bull that
strayed to his ranch last Janu-
airy. The animal has been there
at his place, unclaimed by any
one. Last week Lee Barber,
who is foreman of a large cat
tie outfit in this section, came
to McKeith's ranch and claimed
the bull as belonging to his out
fit, but failed to prove his right
to the animal to McKeith'ss at
isfaction and he therefore re-
fused to give him up. Barber
then went to Boise and swore
out a warrant for McKeith's ar
rest and he has now gone over
to answer to this charge.

Why, shouted these intrepid leaders of

Compulsory voting.

Gov. Fort, of New Jersey, has joined
the ranks of those who propose that
voters who do not vote shall be penal
lied, and for a practical working scheme
he suggests poll tax which shall fall
upon the delinquents. Every man who
votes would be given a certificate that
would be equivalent to a tax receipt for
the amount Of the penalty. 1t is i'm

The NayaI Gun Factory SITUATION

During the past week or two there
have been discharged from the force Of
mechanics at the naval gun factory in
Washington several hundred trained and.
therefore. valuable men, and it is made
known that additional dismissals are
destined TO be made. The explanation
given for this action is lack of funds
for the operation of the establishment.
IT IS admitted there is plenty Of work
for the entire force, and, indeed, the
plans for equipping the new vessels with
guns and replacing the armament on
older vessels have in the past required
extra work. One of the busiest govern
ment plants in the country has been the
naval gun factory at the Washington
Navy Yard, and this diminution Of the
force At this time comes as a veritabie
surprise
II ought not to be a difficult matter for
the Navy Department to obtain an
urgent deficiency appropriation sufficient
in amount to restore these useful men
10 their positions in this important plant.
The services Of men Of their experience
ought not TO be lost to the government
when there is the work TO do and the
money in the public Treasury 10 pay them
for their toll. It is false economy to fail TO
appropriate the money which is asked for

While strongly favorinB concentration in
the school system of the District, The
Washington Herald IS just as strongly
opposed to governmental control.
1t regards the present problem az
simple one, involving on the part of Con-
gress a duty quite easy to perform. All
Ethat Is required is 20 vest the appointing
power in the Board OF District Commits
sioners and hold that body strictly TO
account for the results. It matters not
whether the head Of the system be called
superintendent or director; but he should
be the head IN fact as we'll as in title, and
there should be the least possible division
OF authority and responsibility. Such
system works smoothly and satisfactorily
in other departments Of the District gov
eminent, and there is no reason in the
world why il should not be applied sue
cessfully TO the schools.
Il is inconceivable that Congress viii
pass the DoIliver bill in its present shape.
/ It is commendable in embracing the plan
| Of concentration, but wholly uncom-
mendable in other of its provisions. es-
pecially the paramount provision which
places the appointing power in the hands
Of a bureau official Of the government.
/ II is deficient in not providing power OF
removal with power Of appointment. and
the wisdom Of the proposed change in
supervision is seriously TO be questioned.
Indeed. it Is the opinion Of this newspaper
that the placing Of the schools In charge
of the District Commissioners. with au-
thority 20 appoint and remove the su-
/ perintendent or director, Is the only
change that is needed at this time.
The weakness has not been. and is not
now. in the schools themselves. but In
the conflicting authority controlling the
schools.
/ There may well be resentment OF the
proposition TO eliminate local control. bat
we have no thought that such thing is
going to be done. Certainly ii would not
be done without granting the patrons of
the schools a full hearing to voice their
protest. AS for vesting the authority in
the District Commissioners. that is so
obviously the logical arrangement that
further discussion would seem to be I'M
necessary. II ought TO be done.
