Supt. Best visited our city schools
last Wednesday.

An item is going the rounds OF
the press in which a farmer suggests
that coal should be inspected the
same as wheat, that il the farmer has
TO be locked for the dirt in his grain
the coal should be discounted for the
slate it contains. Such a~hpropositlon
is all right. There is no reason why
the slate should not be taken out OF
the coal, except that the average con.
sumner had much rather take the coal
as ii is now prepared than to pay the,
extra cost for coal that did not con-
tain slate. The coal would have to be
picked over by hand. In this day and
age a man can get almost anything
he is willing to pay for, and if it is
coal without slate or bone that be
wants he can get it by paying the
price. Any local dealer will hand
pick the coal if the customer wants it.
But the consumer has sent men to
congress who have SO fixed the laws
that the coal trust controls the price
to the consumer by fixing the cost TO
the local dealer. If he wants better
service bar the trust is willing to
give, he must be willing to part with
his good hard cash. With a trust
controlling a commodity, it is out of
the range of possibilities for the con
sumner to say both what he wants and
how much he is willing to pay for it.
A deal has recently been con-,
sumated by which Barber Bros. have
sold most of their stock to Lake
Preston bankers. A. n. Barber still
retains an interest in the bank and
will continue in his present capacity
as president and director. G.. r
Bond who has been with the bank for
some time and who is we'll known to
the people OF this vicinity and popular
with all of the banks patrons will re-
main as cashier. Messers Olson and
Kopperud are successful and conser-
vative bankers and we bespeak for
them the same kindly treatment and
friendly relations hal Barber Bros.
have enjoyed. The new stock holders
are rated as one of the strongest
banking firms in the state and are
large land owners thus bringing this
bank ample support. They will meet
and make the acquaintance of Esmond
people in the near future. -Esmoud

DISTRICT SUBURBS
GET UNFAIR DEAL

To the Editor Of THE TINES:
The National Capital has always been
supposed to be the property Of the ma
ton, and the failure of the last Con-
gress to appropriate money enough to
run the public schools Of Washington
to accommodate the children OF the
country, in addition to
those of its own citizens, is a reflection
on Congressmen more than on the Dis
trict officials, and no doubt the voters
of the States adjacent to Washington
viii take this view of 1t. The public
schools of the District should be more
of a national institution, In view OF the
fact that a portion Of the nations
money goes to their support and main
tenance. Republican Congresses have
always provided for these suburban
children in the Washington public
schools, and the first Democratic Con-
gress in years has omitted its plain
duty of allowing them a like privilege.
II this is a specimen Of their legislative
abilities 1t will not call for much en-
thusiasm when suburbanites are called
upon to elect successors to take their
places.
There are two things in this world
that appeal individually to the voter,
viz, overtaxation and tho curtailment
of public school privileges.
Children's parents who reside IN the
suburbs also pay taxes IN Washington

frolicsome bacchantes danced at the
feasts of Dionysus, crowned with ivy
and the vine. If the German State Fed
Grafton is to pull of celebration after
the goodly fashion of the classic times,
the police authorities had better take
hand in regulating the costumes as
well as the music.
If years of sanctified usage at
student meets and turnerfests may be
regarded as constituting classic adop-
tion, then "Hi lie, hi 10" should be
shouted until it echoes to the Rhine and
back. Only the dull and unimaginative
would cavil with the words to which
the celebrated song has been set. They
have the peculiar merit of being cap
able of clear enunciation at practically
any stage of the feast. At an hour OF
the evening when the soberest chorister
would be unable to negotiate the
"Wacht Am Rhein," the swelling
syllables of "Hi le, hi 10" roll as trip
pingly from the tongue as when the
fugleman offered the first toast and
led in the first applause.
In point of inspiration it is second
only to the immortal "Lillibulero,'
which in some of its aspects it re-
sembles, and which, it is well remem-
bered, stirred a whole people to mad
ness. Even that prime favorite, Forty
nine blue bottles are sitting on the
WALL" is never looked upon with favor
lest some amateur barytone, who had
his sense of humor in his cups,
might sing it through to the last verse.
The mellow old classic, which has
been declared taboo as unclassical, is
enshrined in the hearts of all joyous
spirits who have even a Milwaukee
kinship with the Fatherland, and they
will be rolling out the rollicking meas
ures of "Hi lie, hi To-" as they beat
time with the stems on the table, long
after the Evansville music committee
has crooned itself asleep with the vapid
of today.

gin with the school year they help dis
organize the class work. -
Finally, there is the archaic building
system of the Washington schools.
Washington has about twice as many
school buildings as q city of its size
ought to have. Other large cities have
long ago adopted the sixteen, eighteen,
and twenty-five room buildings as the
economic unit. Washington school
buildings average about half as large.
There must be more superintendence,
more general administrative expense,
more cost for maintenance, heat, and
janitors; in short, the whole system
is wasteful.
In the hands of q man of estab-
lished abilities, both educational and
administrative, it is to be hoped that
the Washington schools are today en-
tering on new era. DR.. Davidson has
not made any promises, which is an
excellent sign. In very short time
he has performed most reassuringly,
which is better sign.

Planning Entertainment
For German Alliance

The subcommittee that are arrang-
ing the details for the entertaining
OF the coming convention of the Ma
tional German-Ameican Alliance, will
hold frequent meetings this week in
anticipation Of the session of the
general entertainment committee
that meets on Friday night.
Definite figures concerning the
amount of money pledged for the
convention fund are not announced,
but Chairman Martin Wiegand, of the
general and finance committees, and
his associates are making q canvass
and report progress toward securing
the required $4,000 for meeting the
expenses OF entertaining the 800 del
egates and 1900 other visitors who
are expected.
The national convention will open
In the New Willard on October s and
will close on October Q. For three
hours on each of the session days the
delegates and visitors will attend to
alliance business. The remainder of
the stay of each of the days will be
devoted TO the program of social and
sightseeing features, and to a pill
grimage to the Tomb of Washington.

GIVES HIS REASONS
FOR READING THE TIMES

To the Editor of THE TIMES:
; Since coming to Washington, several
years ago, have been q constant pa
tron Of your contemporary. the Evening
Star, and an Intermittent contributor to
the Golfers Of both the morning papers.
but have but seldom read The Times,
for the reason that ! regarded II as
sensational and its news service as not
reliable.
This, Of itself, is of small moment, as
the other papers have not greatly prof
tied by my patronage or The Times
suffered for the lack of II, but II several
thousand Of the paper-reading pubic

that has come to me. think that even
the Gas House Organ might assume a
different tone in its editorials.
For I have this day discontinued my

and expect hereafter to read The Times
for the following reasons:
I have noted that editorially the Star
can never hnd anything but supreme
ability and the most sublime degree
of righteousness In all the acts of all

Maine and the nation loses an invalu-
able public servant" Let Aldrich see
the writing on the wall and Rhode Is
land and the country lose the abiest
public servant Of them all. Let Bailey
spout about the Constitution, Or threat

road Martin and Tobacco Swanson.

gangsters and a supine press, again

feet: "Hurrah for good old Virginia; /;
Il rewards these good and faithful pa

AN INDIANA ASSAULT ON A
CLASSIC.

1t will require something more than
the dictum of the music committee of
the Indiana German State Federation
to convince the worlds wassellers that
the time -honored trinklied "Hi le, hi
To-" is not classical, and hence should
be banished from the convivial roper
tory with which Teutons wake The
echoes. Who empowered these Hoosier
censors to sit in Judgment upon the
most lifting drinking song that ever
kept time to the gurgle of a Bismarck
stein or stirred homesick longings for
the Fatherlandf
The music committee, in the first
place, would oblige an expectant public
by defining what is classical. In its
narrower sense the term applies to the
masterworks of Greece and Rome, and
Judged by that criterion 1t must be
assumed that the Indiana COMMITTEES
would not be satisfied with anything

PROPOSAL OF PEACE
TO PUBLIC PRINTER
Offer to Resume Work If

Work on the garage at the Govern

John Moore, colored. is reduced to
the ranks of q laborer, pending the
announcement of the inquiry now be-
ing carried on by the Civil Service
Commission as to his qualifications.
This was the proposition made to-
day to Public Printer Donnelly. The
union men say that IL Moore is re-
duced to the rank and pay of a la
borer and the investigation proves
that he Is entitled to classification as
brieklayer they will make up the
difference in his pay during the time.
The bricklayers assert that 1t
would be impossible for Moore to
qualify under the civil service rules
In weeks time. Two months Is
said to be the shortest time. The
strike now in effect Is the second one
caused by Moore. When he was first
elevated from the place of a laborer

that Moore was placed there by mis-
take and he resumed his work as a
laborer. One week hence he again
appeared as a full-fiedged bricklayer
Moore has complied with all the re-
qutrements necessary under the civil
service the striking bricklayers want
to know who certified that they have
worked with Moore as a brickiayer
and that he has served his time"
Emmett L. Adams announced today
that he has had a picture taken of
Moore, now the only man laying brick
at the garage. and that he intends to
print It with the explanation that
Mr.. Donnelly, who was formerly
president of a typographical union,
Is giving employment to him.
