THURSDAY EVENING. JULY 9. 1906
Good Politics at Hot Springs.

What politicians those Republicans
are! Note the selections announced
yesterday at Hot Springs, for the man
agement of the Taft campaign
Frank H. Hitchcock, as national
chairman, being the personal choice of
the candidate and the President, and
representing before the people a rare
combination of high principle, quiet
ability, and successful administrative
experience.
George r. oneldon, as treasurer, the
choice of the old-liners like Cornelius
n. Bliss, a man of the mo- valuable
acquaintance among Eastern business
men, and representing the full pub
hcity campaign methods which elected
Charles Z. Hughes to the governorship
of New York.
Arthur l. Vorys, as manager for Ohio,
representing the distinctly personal
Taft following in that State and bind
ing together all the forces which
brought about his endorsement by the
Ohio delegation.
Senator James A. HemeEwav, of In
diana, as manager of the Western
headquarters in Chicago, representing
the Fairbanks wing of the party.
Representative William B. Mckinley
of Illinois, as co-worker with Mr.. Shell
don, representing the Cannon wing and
its vast influence over Republican Con-
gressmen.
Not harmony alone is obtained by
these selections, but also the most eff
Gent service. There Is not a man in
the list who can afford to rest on his
oars, not one who is not distinctly
under the necessity to make good.
From Mr.. Hitchcock to Mr.. Mckinley
they are ali new men and yet their
affiliations bring to their aid the per
sonal interest and active support OF
the Oldest war horses at the party
Above all, with the clear understand
ing which prevails that every cent con
tributed must be entered on the books
aud the books thrown open to the pub
lie. it is an administrative force which
will appeal strongly TO the independ-
ent, anti-vote- buying voter. The selee-
tons, in short, fulfill the Roosevelt
policy that the best character and the
best abilities are only the best politics
after all.
The Washington times., 1908-07-09

all He argued that if it was good for
one class it was good for all. The peo-
pie at large needed more daylight
Statesmen, professionals of all grades,
society folks, artists, in fact everybody
might as well take advantage of the
proposition. and so the author proceed
ed to frame a bill and put it before
parliament. Originally Mr.. Willetts
wanted to have time turned forward in
its flight for space OF two hours. The
committee in parliament compromised
by deciding for one hour; and so the
measure stands ready for enactn snt.
The London papers are beginning to
TEEN with letters of protest; also with
editorial jabs and jibes. But apparently
the opposition has come too late. So,
far from being a monumental joker Mr..
Willetts is turning out to be one of
the most revolutionary law authors on
record.
But in his zeal for more daylight
Mir. Willetts overlooked the London
Stock Exchange. There IS . difference
of five hours between New York and
London, and in order to effect one
working hour in common the London
exchange now remains open until in
the afternoon. Under the new arrange
ment the bulls and bears in cutaways
and high hats must stay around
the tickers until 5. More daylight for
the rest of the people mes ms less for
them.
but Willetts gives a 10 Of consola-
ton. He offers to bet that n a couple
of years his daylight plan will be work
ing in the United States. Americans
who happen to have little spare
change can safely take that bet.

How Our Schools Pay the Cost.

When Congress convenes next winter
the school authorities should lay be-
fore the two committees on the Dis
triet of Columbia a letter received by
the Board of Education at its session
of Yesterday. The writer was com
petent teacher. The conditions of
which she speaks are known Of every
body interested in the Mckinley
Manual Training School. But they
have a special impressiveness when
they Iead to the conclusion with which
this letter ends:
'Since the overcrowded condition of
the Mckinley Manual Training School
has increased for six years without re-
lief and the addition. when completed,
Will leave IL much OVercrOwded, with
no chance for growth; since the belgian
block pavement from outside our class
room windows makes work quite inn
possible at times and well-nigh in1pos-
sible always on account Of noises, since
the clerical force assigned to our school
IS not sufficient to do the work Of sn
large an institution, and the teachers
have TO add heavy clerical duties 20
their already overheavy teaching duties,
and since Congress, by its latest law.
@s refused TO recognize the ability and
tgth Of service Of teachers already in
Tie service here, while newcomers are
TO have both recognized, 1 herewith
tender my resignation.
Good work, good health. and prog
ress are impossible to the individual
teacher under these conditions Of noise,
cvercrowding. overwOrlI, and unfair dis
elimination. and I feel that it is due tC
myself and my family to withdraw from
this system before II undermines nv
health and ruins my efficiency as q
teacher"

Gardens and Finances.

"The reason why American garden
ing has not come up TO the standard
of the Europeans is simply that we do
not pay enough" So speaks a well
known authority on the home beautiful
from the woman's standpoint. In that
view, short pay may be the explanation
for halfway gardens. For the rich
amongst US have tendency to think
of floral adornment as vastly more ex-
travagant than a billiard room, or a
yacht, or blooded dogs, or costly paint
ings.
But in the larger sense, American
gardens are worse than not up TO the
standard of the Europeans. They are
worse than fat failures. They simply
do not exist. We have, generally
speaking, made hardly more than be
ginning toward such flower culture by
lovers of homes as brightens the lanes
of England, the lesser boulevards of
France, the by-ways of Germany, into
an amending delight.
Probably the thriftiest farmers in
the world are those of the American
corn belt. Pass through Indiana, Hi
nois, Iowa, Missouri, Kansas, Okla
homa, and Nebraska, by any means
! other than the train, and YOU will
come upon the richest ground tillers in
the world But they have no gardens
worthy of the name. They have won
| derful barns, good roads, corn cribs
! which represent as much wealth as
great office buildings, but no gardens.
| The best one comes across is a circle
here, diamond there, with a few roses
and geraniums. And what bowers
those farm homes might be made with
lantannas, four-o'clocks, fox, mari
Colds, the Towering climbers, lilacs,
heliOtropes, and roses grown as fac
tor Of Importance TO the home, not as
a weak indulgence!
The temptation is to say that these
people do not care. But the women
among them do care. That's the pity
of it. They care and yet they make
the sacrifice. For what? Why, for the
/ little extra money TO be had for taking
time from flowers and giving it TO
chickens. H. the end the eggs do not
represent a tenth the value of garden.
Blu it is the woman's money, and if
she does not get it from that source
she does without. So, for these farm
homes and others like them In America,
We have traced the lack OF gardens not
to lack of appreciation OF flowers or of
! desire to make the home be9utlIEl, but
to a miserable system of family fnan-
ciering which prevails much more
widely in this country than we think.
