The leaders Of the Republican party
are conversant with the situation. They
fully realize the tremendous growth of

, they have concluded that something must
be done to perpetuate the power OF the
Republican party. diminish the political
strength Of the Democratic party, and
eliminate the negro citizen. both North
and South. az a potent factor IN the po-
litical equation; and from the councils
OF the Republican party they have de-

Fairgrounds.

Editor The Washington Herald;
The general awakening or the public
TO the necessity Of providing Fairgrounds
| for the pupils In the grades Of the public
schools of the District of Columbia di-
reefs attention to an even greater lack
of like accommodations for the youth in
the high schools.
Owing 20 the location and environment
of these schools. it is practically impos-
sible 70 secure suitable grounds In con-
nection herewith IN looking for a rem
edy for existing conditions. II has oc-
CURED 20 the East Washington Heights
Citizens Association that a solution Of
the problem may be found in applying
to said schools the university plan Of
( locating them on a general campus OF
suitable dimensions outside Of the pres
ent city limits.
Therefore the association has adopted
| the following resolutions;
Whereas the present high school build
ings Of the District of Columbia are
Inadequate to properly accommodate the
growing demands of our city; and
Whereas said buildings are not up TO
date in architecture. safety, or conven-
j fence, and have no suitable grounds in
connection Herewith for exercises and
amusement; and
Whereas their location is such that
they cannot be altered or added to with
out enormous expense; and
Whereas it IS now possible to secure
in the immediate suburbs of the city
suitable land easy Of access to all the
students; be It
Resolved, That the East Washington
Heights Citizens Association hereby calls
the attention of the President of the
United States, the District Committees Of
the Senate and House of Representatives.
and the Commissioners of the District
Of Columbia to the ACCESSIBILITY OF Sc
curing as early as practicable a large
tract OF land in the near suburbs wherein
all the high schools may be centered and

Trials of the Firemen.


Editor The Washington Herald;
There are few people who know what
the fireman has TO contend with and how
our city fire department is run. OF
course, most every one knows the small
amount of time a fireman has to spend
at home with his family but very few
know what it is to spend nearly twenty
four hours a day in an engine house,
away from home. with hardly time to
get meals, and only every fifth day of,
for $50 per month.
out OF this man has to feed and clothe
his family, and then he has 20 buy his
own uniforms, which cost him quite a
sum If he comes up to the requirements
OF the department. During the day a
fireman must be dressed neat all the
time. and if he goes out TO an alarm of
fire and ruins those clothes he has TO go
down into his pockets ard buy other
clothes to ruin.
a pair OF fireman's uniform trousers
costs him s.. and they are not an extra
grade Of cloth at that.
The first time he puts them on he may
go out to a tire and ruin them completely.
What Is he TO do then? He has to in
vest five more dollars for another pair
and probably ruin them next day. That
is an expense a man can hardly stand on
a fremans salary. If a policeman gets
into a scrimmage and ruins hts clothes
he is reimbursed. Why not do the same
for the FIRE department? The fire depart
ments Of some cities are provided for in
this way. but not 50 in Washington.
OF course, a fireman in going TO and
from his meals or any other place out
on the street should look neat but why
force them TO wear their best clothes
around quarters. where they are liable
to go out at a moments notice and ruin
everything.
Their small wages can't stand It. and I
don't see why they should have TO be call
ed 20 a fire looking like a dress parade
instead of fre6ghters.
When they go 10 a fire they have no
time 10 look out for their clothes.
Their business is TO get TO fire and
eXtinguiSh it as quickly as possible.
They run into smoke. fire, water, grease
and dirt without ime TO think Of their
clothes. and when they come out their
clothes are either burned fun of holes
torn, or full of mud and grease. and It is
impossible for them to be cleaned or
repaired, so that they viii be mt to wear
out on the street again. 1, for one. hope
to see them get some kind of relief.

ROADS GRANT RAISE.
Voluntary Action of Western Lines
Affect $500 Men.

Chicago. March 97.-Ofiicials Of twelve
railroads yesterday voluntarily granted
Chicago switchmen affiliated with the
Brotherhood OF Railroad Trainmen an ad-
ditionaI increase OF wages of l cent an
hour, the scale granted by the Illinois
State board of arbitration.
BY the terms of this agreement the
Brotherhood switchmen viii receive the
same rate as that granted by the Federal
board of arbitration, acting under the
Erdman law, to the members of the
Switchmen's Union of North America.
The Federal board gave the switchmen a
raise of cents an hour. The State
board awarded the Brotherhood men an
advance of only cents.
The agreement affects $500 yardmen in
the Chicago switching district to be
added on a 1-cent raise. and the cents
given by the State board viii mean an
addition of approximately 100000 a year

WILL BUILD A PLATE PLANT
Senator Scott Heads Movement to
Fight Steel Trust.
Half Million Already Subscribed for
Factory to Be Erected by Pitts
burg Capital Near wheeling.

Pittsburg, March 27.-Pittsburg capital
lists arc interested in a large independent
sheet and tin plate plant TO be erected at
Glenova, " Va, in opposition TO the
United states Steel Corporation. Glenova
is a suburb of Wheeling. The plant will
give employment TO thousands of men
formerly employed by the La Belle plant
at Belair. Ohio. which has not turned
a wheel since June 90. 1908, owing to a
strike.
Senator Scott. of West Virginia. heads
the movement which viii involve the ex-
penditme of S5O0.OOO, and no secret is
made Of the fact that it is fight against
the trust
Some time ago. Senator Scott, having
the interests of employed workmeh at
Belair and vicinity at heart, made an
offer 10 the steel corporation TO
buy the La Belle iron works. Senator
scott made no effort TO conceal the OBJ
ject. The mills were 20 be started as
union mills, and as independent mills
The Old workmen who had made this
part Of the upper Ohio valley famous
and had gained their living from the la
Belle works, would be re-employed at
union wages.
There was a conference here with Eu-
gene Pargny, president Of the American
Sheet and Tin Plate Company. who has
been handling the strike. and Judge Gary,
to whom the offer had been made per-
sonally. They finally decided the plant
would not be sold. that the corporation
would fight the matter out with the
strikers. Senator Scott at once announced
that he would subscribe $4,000 toward a
fund of $500.000 to erect an independent
plant where the strikers would be en-
ployed, and ground was at once secured
al Glenova and arrangements made for
breaking ground not later than April 5.
1t Is asserted In Pittsburg tonight that
the S5G0Ooo has already been oversub-
scribed.

RusseIl's Theology.

Editor The Washington Herald;
In your interesting collection OF Views
on Many Topics" in last Mondays Wash
ington Herald, am amused to see a cor
respondent referring TO Pastor Russell
theology as being new"
The keynote of his writing and preach
ing is contrary to anything new in the
ology. and one of his publications Is
styled the Old Theology Quarterly.
His motto is, Inquire for the old paths
where is the good way tier, vi:16), and
his contention is that the Bible needs 10
additional theology and is complete in
itself.
The greatness Of his work lies in the
fact that he has harmonized apparently
conflicting doctrines and brought to light
long hidden truth.
VIII any one undertake to say that the
doctrine of justification by faith in the
precious blood of Christ, which Luther
dug out OF the dunghill of Roman de-
cretals. was a new theology? Nay. ver-
ily. II was the old theology taught by
the Lord and His apostles. and gradually
lost by the church, till its recovery,
that seemed to them a new thing.
Now, as from ancient Babylon, a faith
.ul few are bringing back TO their proper
place and use the glorious old doctrines
Of the Bible. The horrible and defiling
doctrine OF eternal torment is removed.
and the Scriptural teaching concerning
hell is seen in its true beauty and gOdli-
ness
Surely. your correspondent has not read
Pastor RusselTs writings Let me offer,
through your columns. 20 Mr. White. or
any other person who will send me his
name and address. a pamphlet by Pastor
Russell in which every text where the
words "sheol." "hades,' or gehenna" ap-
pears in the Bible is carefully examined.
and all harmonized with the parallels and
symbolic statements
Every candid reader Of it viii agree that
Pastor Russell has not Knocked - out
of the Bible" but has knocked lot of
foolishness out Of his own head.
Your correspondent claims 20 possess
proof that Pastor Russell denies the God
head OF the Lord Jesus Christ I believe
Mr.. White is confused by the mystic
word "Godhead." in his book. The
Atonement," on page Il. new edition,
Pastor Russell examines the three occur
rences of that word in the Bible, and con-
cludes by saying; In the glorihed Christ,
who is the head Of. the church, dwells all
fullness; plenitude of wisdom. grace. and
power" and supports the Apostles state
ment: IN Him Christ dwelleth all the
fullness Of the Godhead bodily"
Mr.. White has similarly fallen into a
grave error in charging Pastor Russell
with being "anti-Christ" Please note the
Bible definition q John, ii:22): He is
anu-Christ that denieth the Father and
the Son"
I challenge any shadow Of evidence
against Pastor Russell, and call upon Mr..
White 10 prove that he is Christian by
either substantiating his assertion or
making a retraction thereof.

Government Clerks.

Editor The Washington Herald.
Just few lines for some facts. Why
IS it this government can afford TO spend
S,5@,ooo on a building. while the clerks IN
the Bureau OF the Census are receiving
so per month. on entrance. as compared
to $50 OF the last census? AS every one
knows. the cost OF living is very much
more than Ii was ten years ago.
There is considerable talk OF govern
mental economy. This is only right and
just. but it is another case of "strainlng
at gnats and swallowing camels." I do
not wish 10 be misunderstood / am not
arguing against the beauufylng Of the
District-it is a noble project-but Is it a
square deal 20 eXpend enormous sums on
public buildings. which are not needed at
this moment, while TO save the govern
ment money they are lowering the wages
of employees?

DOG ON THE STAGE.

From the New York Times.
DANCE. Miles is dead. Danger was a
pure white English bull terrier and one
OF the cleverest dogs that ever faced the

Above ALL il should be recognized that
Danger was an actor and by no means a
trick dos. He didn't jump through hoops
or balance a cane on his nose. He was
an artist Some idea of his remarkable
talents can be gathered by recalling The
