Creston, March "a disscnsion be-
tween the principal OF the high school
and the girl members Of the senior
class has arisen over the problem OF
the graduating costume which they
shall wear this year. Principal Bridges
asks that all OF the girls wear white
shirt waists and black skirts. This has
aroused the antagonism that every
woman feels when dictated to rs what
she shall or shall not wear. and con-
sequently the girls are determined they
will wear NIL white dresses. Principal
Bridges Informs them that II they do
he will not drill them for the class
march which has been decided upon as
one OF the features Of the occasion.
Some OF the boys of the class have
espoused the principals cause and are
doing all in their power to reconcile
the young women to the regulation
white waist and black skirt uniform.

THE CANDIDACY
OF BLAIR LEE

Mr.. Blair Lee, of Montgomery County,
whose candidacy for the gubernatorial
nomination was referred to at some length
in The Washington Herald yesterday.
calls attention to an inaccuracy which
appeared Baltimore City," he says
has never been accused by any one, to
my knowledge, of having too much rep
resentation in the general assembly OF
Maryland. With respect to the city's
representation in the approaching DEMO-
cratic convention, the primary election
law leaves to the governing body Of each
political party the fixing Of the repre-
sentation in the State convention; and
the Democratic State central committee
for Maryland has fixed for the coming
primaries the representation Of Baltimore
City, so that that city and the counties
have the same number of votes in the
convention that they have members in
the general assembly. which is the same
representation the city has had in the
State convention for many years under
the old system.
II am about the last man in the
State" continued Mr. Lee, who could
intimate that the governor Is a stand
patter. The governor and the representa-
ton IN the general assembly from mis-

ed most of the progressive legislation of
the last session. 1t is true that the gov

The Value of q Franchise.

An interesting case is now before the
Detroit courts.
On a considerable portion of the Fort
street line, the franchise or easement
heretofore enjoyed by the Detroit United
Railway has expired, and the city has
demanded that the company shall pay
the sum of $500 per day for further
use of the street on the portion thereof
upon which the easement has expired.
This demand the company resists as ex-
orbitant and conhscatory, and now the
question is to be decided by the courts.
The city contends that it, the COR
poration Of the city of Detroit has alb
solute control of the streets, and stands
in relation to the street car company
as landlord to a tenant whose lease
has expired, and can demand any terms
it pleases for further occupation, or can
oust the company and its tracks and
cars from the streets at its pleasure, or
at least from that portion of the streets
on which the lease has expired. The
counsel for the company, on the other
hand, claims that these relations Of
landlord and tenant do not exist. and
maintains that the capital invested in the
railway cannot be capriciously destroyed
without compensation.
The Detroit papers predict that the
litigation, no matter how it may be de-
cided in the lower court, viii be pro-
longed, owing to appeals. and that, in
the meantime, the railway compans will
continue to occupy the street without
paving therefor. The question pre-

Health in the Panama Zone.

1t is a remarkable record which the
medical officers of the United States
army are achieving in the Panama Zone.
During the month of March there were
only forty-three deaths, from all causes,
among 47,o35 employees. Sixteen of
these deaths were from violence and
twenty-seven were from disease In the
latter category no white male American
was included. There were seven deaths
among the American women, but they
were from causes which might have
happened in this country.
This achievement in the elimination
of disease stands unparalleled. 1t shows
that the wite man can live in the tropics
without serious danger if he will OBJ
serve the simple hygienic rules of iiv-
ing. The facts as to conditions on the
isthmus are, in truth, in direct contra
diction to the established theories, and
demonstrate even further that the white
race does not necessarily become ener-
vated and lazy under the tropical sun.
Even so-cailed tropical neurasthenia
may prove to be avoidable.
If the construction Of the canal shall
prove that there is no reason for the
deterioration Of the white race within
the tropics. it will be as great an accom-
plishment in its way as the building
of the canal itself.

LORIMER PRELIMINARIEs ON.

SubpOeERs Issued by Senate InVestI-
eating Committee on Chicago Men.
Subpoenas already have been issued by
the Senate for a score of witnesses in the
Lorimer investigation. The Sergeant
alarms OF the Senate sent one of his as
sistants to Chicago Sunday to serve the
subpoenas for the Committee on Privi-
leges and Elections
The special committee will hold its first
sessions in Washington. but will go later
to Chicago. Springfield, and probably
Duluth. The committee will not wait
until Congress adjourns before getting
down to active work. 1t is the eXpecta-
ton that the select committee will visit
Illinois not later than the first week in
July The committee would not give
out the names of the witnesses for whom
subpoenas have been issued.
Senator Lorimer was in his seat when
the Senate met at noon yesterday, the
first time he has been present in weeks.
He declined to discuss the case, but ex-
pressed his eagerness to appear before
the select committee to be examined on
the charges against him.

Practical Education.

Through the generosity of a wealthy
citizen of Wilmington, the class in civics
of the high school of that city is to
spend two days in Washington. The
visit is part of programme of prac-
teal education, and there is no doubt
that the class will be greatly benefited
by its stay in the National Capital.
Washington is, in itself, an exposition
city The home of the President, the
halls in which Congress assemblies, the
impressive Washington Monument, the
thousands of interesting exhibits in the
National Museum, the manufacture of
money in the Bureau of Engraving and
Printing, the novel displays in the Treas
ury, Post-ofice, and other departmental
buildings, and, last but not least Rock
Creek Park, all offer to the visitor an
endless variety of attractions. In the
case of young students the educational
value is almost beyond estimation. The
trouble will be to crowd into two days
a programme which might easily ex-
tend over a month.
The generosity which provides this
character of entertainment for the VIII
mington pupils. is most practical. 1t
is literally doing good. 1t widens the
horizon of the young people, gives them
an acquaintance with men and buildings
which could never be obtained from
books, and stimulates their ambition.

Summer Reading.

This is the season of the year when
the mind seeks relaxation in the matter
of literature. The thrilling detective
story, the light and airy novel of love
and adventure, the romance built out of
nothingness, all appeal to intellects
which have lost their interest in things
profound
And yet, at the very time when the
Congressional Record might boost its
circulation by printing a few columns
of hunor. when it might enliven its
pages with poem or stirring narra-
tive, it devotes its entire edition to long
and somewhat platitudinous speeches
upon wool. In the place of charming
verse, there appear repellent columns of
statistics, and where we might hope to
find some clever repartee, we encounter
enormously long paragraphs about i'm
portations and tariff schedules The
mere mention of wool in warm weather
has an irritating effect. Why, then,
should the editor of the Congressional
Record impose upon his readers such
lengthy and verbose dissertations upon
the subject?
In discussing reciprocity, many Of the
members. like Silas Wegg, dropped into
poetry. Various quotations, from the
time-honored-
''Breathes there a man with soul so
dead

THE farmers trade is one Of worth;
He's partner with the sky and EARTH
did yeoman service. Up to the present
time, the debate upon the wool sched-
ule has not moved a single soul to
poetic inspiration. Nothing but pages
and pages of serious argument, redolent
of the midnight oil, confront the pa
tient reader.
1t may be that in course of time, when
the winter winds are bowling and the
logs burn brightly in the fireplace, some
of the worthy voters of the land will
take up these pages and find much COM
fort and instruction therein. At the
present moment, the summer reading in
the Congressional Record is not for US.

Practical Education for Students In
Wilmington High school.

SchOOAs
From the Wilmington News.
Through the magnificent generosity of
Mr.. and Mrs. Alfred l. Du Pont, of Ne
mours, the thirty members of the senior
civics class of the Wilmington High
School will go to Washington for two
days, June 13 and A. Hearing of the de-
sire of the class to conclude their year of
civlcs work by a trip to the National
Capital, Mr.. and Mrs. Du Pont became in
terested in behalf of the young men and
women, and expressed a desire to defray
all of the expenses incidental TO the tour.
Tbey have given instruction that every
thing possible be done for the interest
and pleasure of the class, and it goes
without saying that the money thus in
vested in the interest Of the future citi-
zens ofNWilmington will yield gratifying
results in return for the civic spirit mani
Tested by Mr.. and Mrs. Du Pont in maxi
ing the trip possible. 1t will be fitting
climax to a very interesting year, and
will be an occasion long to be remem-
bered.
Congressman William H. Head will
assist in the entertainment Of the class
in Washington. and strenuous two days
have been planned. The class will be ac-
companied by their instructor. Miss Eliza

Not an Impudent Proposition.

1t may appeal to Representative Ma
con as an impudent proposition that the
members of the District Committee of
the House be allowed to use an auto
mobile which the government has bought
and paid for, but which is now stand
ing idle. 1t will not, however, be so
characterized by him or by anybody else
who has either a thorough knowledge
of the District or a deep interest in
its affairs.
The District of Columbia covers a
territory Of seventy square miles. 1t
is practically a distance of ten miles
from its southeastern point, opposite
Alexandria, where the Home for the
Aged and Infrm is located, to the north
western corner. beyond Tennallytown,
where the Fort Reno reservoir is situ-
ated From the westernnrost boundary,
beyond the Chain Bridge. to the eastern
extremity. beyond Langdon. is about the
same distance. Within this large terri
tory there are a score Of small towns
almost any one of which would have
its mayor and common council if it
were situated within the confines of 4
State. The inhabitants of these towns
are taxpayers upon an equality with the
residents OF the neighborhood Of Dupont
Circle, for instance. and they are even
more interested in the vital questions
of good streets, water mains, and sewers.
If the members of tlFe District Com
mittee could be furnished with an auto
mobile and make regular and constant
inspections OF every part Of the District
OF Columbia. they would know a great
deal more than they do to-day about
the territory over whick the Constitu-
tion gives Congress exclusive jurisdc-
ton.
A provision of law requires that the
Commissioners, before they submit esti-
mates for street improvements. shall per-
sonally visit and inspect each thorough
fare In times past, when an automobile
as an official adjunct was a thing TN
known, the Commissioners were COM
PEELED to borrow machine from some
public-spirited owner in order to comply
with the law Frequently they Travelled
more than a hundred miles in a day
visiting one section Of the District.
If the members OF the House District
Committee are to sit in their easy chairs
in the committee room or in the hall
of Congress, they cannot be expected
to act intelligently when proposed laws
relating to street extensions or to other
improvements come before them for
consideration. They should be afforded
every opportunity to become acquainted
with the topography and extent of the
District. The present unused automo-
Ibile could be put to a splendid use if
1t were given to these members for fire.
