School Building Needs.

In consequence OF q change In o street
between 9Th and sth streets northwest
the space In front OF the Central High
School will be reduced from fifty-six to
thirty-two feet In width, a loss OF twen-
ty-four feet. The change seriously affects
the cadet companies of that school, which
have for years used the street space for
drill purposes The protest OF the school
authorities. however, has been unayaii-
ing. as the reduction has been deemed
desirable for reasons beyond those OF
school administration. The matter is
Of moment as calling attention to the
fact that a new building is needed for
the Central High School. The structure
that Is now occupied was completed in
September. 1859. twenty-eight years ago.
Since then 1t has been enlarged some
what by the addition Of q wing. but even
with this extension IL Is greatly con-
gested. and Is today the least adequate

Eastern and Western academic high
schools have been given new buildings.

the Commissioners will cooperate with
the board OF education In an effort to
secure without further delay q lber al
appropriation for a new building. on a
more convenient and elastic site than
that now occupied.
1t is naturally to be expected that an
application to Congress for such an ap-
preparation will be met with disinclina-
ton to provide funds to replace an ex-
listing building with better one. There
is need today of new school buildings
in all parts of the District. The school
accommodations of the capital are far
from meeting the requirements. in this
respect Washington standing in marked
contrast to the city of Chicago. where.
It was recently announced. provision
had finally been made for every child Of
board of education in the matter Of
providing facilities for the constantly
swelling army of school children are
increased by the fact that they must
cope with continually growing need on
the basis Of an equipment that was
never adequate. Congress has never
been willing to appropriate to bring the
arrears up to date. its allotments for
PUBIC ScnOOl INSTRUCTION always remain
ing short of the actual requirements by
a percentage which has caused a peren-
NAL condition of congestion throughout
the District.
This situation results in its present as
pect from the insistence by Congress
upon the policy of making the District
pay on virtually a cash basis for its large
permanent improvements. its fixed plant.
The school buildings belong In this cate
CORY. If well constructed they should
last indefinitely, but they should be so
placed and planned that they can be
extended without unsafely congesting
their occupants or disarranging the sys-
tenn of administrat alton. The District
should spend a large sum of money,
mounting high in the hundreds of thou
sands, within the next two years, IN the
construction of school buildings, and Con-
gress should be willing TO make the
appropriations for these purposes on
some other basis than that of practical
cash payments. pulling the Districts cur
rent maintenance fund down to the
starvation point.

Signs of Early Fall.

Some weatherwise near-New Yorker
has Just noticed that thousands OF swal-
lows are sitting on the telephone lines
that cross the Jersey meadows. This Is
accepted as a sure sign of early winter,
for 1t means that the birds are migrating
southwark and stopping at these points
20 rest. Probably soon other natural
signals Of early fall will be noted, such
rs the straw-carrying pig. Washington
has just had q token Of natures inten-
ton to draw heavily on the coal pile this
winter. The September bareback of heat
has already come and practically passed.
Beginning Sunday morning it warmed UP
TO a veritable midsummer point. and for
three days Washington suffered severely.
The hot spell was broken by a thunder
storm Tuesday night. and those who
have watched the course of the seasons
during the years past agree that in all
likelihood there will be no more hot
weather this month. that is TO say,
weather Of the blistering. prostrating.
mountaineering kind Usually the
September hot wave does not develop
before the 10th or 10Th of the month. and
makes the middle of the month hard to

venient for the earlier home-comers who
select Labor day as the end of their va
cation period, but it was not long enough

passed-assuming that what has just
been experienced was the traditional

regarded as practically at hand although

Premature Matrimony.

Washington boy Of, eighteen and a
Washington girl Of sixteen were recently
married at Rockville Md. Such matri-
monial episodes occur at the local Gretna
Green frequently. much to the scandal OF
the District and a large cause in the
swelling business OF the divorce courts.
But this Rockville marriage of children
differed from the usual one contracted at
that point. 1t had-the full sanction of the
parents OF both bride and groom. The
word of ascent was given. however. only
after the officiating clergyman had de-

rule the serious side OF matrimony Is not
contemplated by these youthful couples
They take advantage Of the laxity OF
parental care and the indiscriminate man
ner in which the marriage laws are ad-
ministered in some communities and rush
into union without preparation. without
deliberation, only later to repent theiI
haste and unreadiness. Those who are
studying the divorce evil in this country
usually find that hasty. Ill : considered
matrimony is the fault in majority OF
cases. And thus when the spectacle u
presented Of parents formally giving their
consent to the marriage. of lad OF eight
cen to. a girl of sixteen society has rea-
son to feel that perhaps the responsibility
does not lie altogether with the children
themselves.

The New York Graft Inquiry.

The committee appointed by the New
York legislature to investigate charges OF
graft in connection with legislation at Al
bany has begun work. IL Is organized TOT
business. and business is promised That
il 10 say all leads are 10 be followed as
far as possible, without regard TO any
thing but the ascertainment OF the truth
As the meetings of the committee are
open. and daily reports will be published
by the press, the public will be able to
follow all that is done while II Is warm
And the public is likely to improve the
opportunity. For. while much else is go
ing on. the revelations in the Allds-Con-
ger scandal are assurance that news of a
Ike character, which We are now 10 re-
ceive, will not lack for readers.
The legislative proceedings at Albany
have always been the subject OF suspicion
and attack. Not unlikely. the picture
has been painted in colors too black. A
pet theme has the trick OF running away
with those who handle 1t. widely &C
cepted charge is that nearly everything
at Albany has TO be bought. and that
nearly every legislator is purchasable.
King Graft, we are told. has always
ruled the roost. republicans and demo-
CfdtS alike DONlhB bSlu3c hiiH ohu wins
his bidding.
We may reject this appraisement OF
things and yet believe that much corrup-
ton has existed, and that recent years
have witnessed liberal share OF it. Bust
ness OF every kind has been increasing in
volume and complexity of form, and many
branches OF IL have needed and obtained
legislation. Other branches have probably
been victims OF strike" measures, intro
duced solely for blackmailing purposes. to
be dropped or sidefracked upon the pay
ment Of a tribute. So that, in one way or
another, money must have been ''circulat-
ing at Albany in liberal quantities and
for improper purposes.
But what as to the responsibility? How
will this committee find as to the bribers
Corrupt legislators should not be spared.
but how about their corrupters? Shall
the assemblymen who played the system
for their own benefit, or at the behest of
bosses in private life who were benefiting,
bear all the censure and punishmen Mt, while
The men who supplied the corruption fund
knowing its purposes escape? Shall there
be stripes for the one. and mere notoriety
for the other?
This Investigating committee has large
powers. and an unusual opportunity to
serve not only the New York public but
the whole country. Albany is in the lime
light. but not alone in its bad glory. A

The Fisheries Decision.
the New York Tribune

1 rom the New lofk Tribune.
The tribunal at The Hague has given
it's verdict in the north Atlantic fisher
les dispute with gratifying promptness.
a circumstance which reflects credit
not only upon the tribunal itself but
also upon the counsel on both sides
for the convincing clarity of their pres
entations and arguments I'm the case.
AS for the general character OF the
verdict, IL was in sense forecast by
one OF the American counsel. Senator
Root, who got here from The Hague
by steamer only a day before the ca
bied announcement OF the result. when
he said that "such decisions are al
ways compromises" We are glad to
believe. however. that this one is a
compromise in only the highest and
best meaning Of the term. 1t Is a
compromise in so far as that some Of
the points involved are decided in favor
Of one and some in favor Of the other
party. but We do not suppose that on
any of them the tribunal pronounced a
verdict other than in strict accord with
legal and equitable conviction.

Foreign Interest in Our Politics.

Senator Burton, who has Just returned,
observed while abroad that the English
newspapers are giving more than the
usual space to American politics. Other
Americans Of note have made the same
report. Only few years ago. American
travellers complained that their country
and its affairs seem to possess no interest
for English journalists. The most i'm
portant American events received but
scant cable attention. America was over
the sea. and far away. English and con-
tinental topics had the right of way, and
blocked the way. When a citizen left
these shores he temporarily severed his
connection with opportunities to follow
home developments. apd had to appoint a
time upon his return for reading up
Now. many accounts agree. it is all
very different. Nor is this true only of
England. French and German newspapers
have been increasing their space allow
ance TO American topics. until in both
France and Germany 1t Is now possible
for American sojourners to keep fairly
in touch through the local press with the
more important features OF the situation
at home
In general terms, the explanation offered
is that as America is now a world power
foreigners are more interested in us. 1t
is important for them to know what we
are doing. and what our progress may
mean in the general equation. The coun-
try which controls Porto Rico. Hawaii
and the Philippines, has special working
arrangement as to order in Cuba, and is
building the Panama canal, looms large
on the worlds horizon.
But just now there Is an additional rea-
son why the English, the Germans and
the French-particularly the English
should be following our affairs closely.
They have capital invested In our bust
ness enterprises Our domestic policies
concern them. What about the tariff? Is
protection as a national policy booked for
Blasting In November? and. II SO. will
the election of 1912 indorse the treatment?
Is America heading fora real tariff for
revenue only?
And then about the railroads. Closer
government supervision is certain, no
matter which side wins in November But
IL the democrats win, will the Bryan in
fiuence in the party push on in the direc-
ton of government ownership? Mr..
Bryan himself believes in that, and is ex-
pecting all mere government regulation.
no matter how rigid or rigidly executed.
to fail Foreign capital In large amounts
is invested In American railway securi-
ties.
Forty centuries are not looking down on
us. The Napoleonic ADMIRATION is hardly
applicable to our case. But 1t is a fact
that the result Of this years elections.
with It's probable bearing on 1912. will be
noted and studied abroad as the result
Of no American political contest has been
