We of The Star have always had soft
spot in our hearts for Mother Rythe:'s
home, since the day. nine years ago, when
we. with timely publicity calling attention
to its financial straits, then desperate. saved

Since that time there has existed between
Mother Rythcr and The Star a tacit part
ncrship which we on our part have no wish
10 see dissolved We have fallen into the
habit OF doing things for Mother Ryther
and kids without consulting her.
II was so this last time. We arranged
with the management Of the "Hanky Panky'
company. appearing at the Moore theatre,
next week TO give free show in the little
park at University and Fourth at o'clock
next Tuesday, when the chorus girls shall
take up collection TOR the benefit OF Mother
Rythers kids.
The management is willing. The stars
and chorus and orchestra look forward TO
this novel break in the routine OF their lives
with keen pleasure We do not doubt that
you will do your generous part. You al
ways have.
And so we went forward with the p'an.
We knew Mother Ryther could use the
money. We who are fathers OF one, or two,
or three kids have a dim but sufficient
inkline Of what il must cost 10 feed and
clothe and house more than 90 kids-and
this Mother Ryther, alone and unendowed,
has always done.
So we did not tell Mother Rytlier.

factor In sea management. Yet think Of
the remarkable demonstration Of wireless

as Capt. Inch OF the Volturno learned
that the ship We In danger of destruc-

from all quarters vessels began to come
to the position indicated. ready to give
such help as could be extended. One

through the air, asked II it was needed

course and made fun speed to the
scene OF the disaster. When the

Suffers Removal.

Gov Suffers conviction was fully eX-
pected. and the action of the court OF
impeachment at Albany has therefore
caused no surprise. The point OF CHIEF
interest in the trial was whether the
court would, In its verdict, bar him
from future Office holding, and his
friends have occasion to be gratifled at
the unanimous decision in his favor in
this respect. This is probably entirely
just. The offenses charged against MI
Sulzer were committed prior to his as
sumption of the Office of governor
prior. In fact. to his election. and there
was doubt I'm the minds OF many
people whether technically these Of
lenses were impeachable This view
was evidently shared by certain MEM
bers of the court, who refrained from
voting against him on that score alone.
In these circumstances II would have
been unduly severe upon him to de-
prive him Of all future political oppor-
tunity, and thus to cut him off from
any possible appeal to the people.
The removed governor meets the YER
diet of the court of Impeachment with

about his dismissal from the governor

Iare. II he can overthrow Tammany
as a state power his mlsfoftunes will
not have been in VAIN. 1t cannot be de-
MED that a large degree of public sym
pathy is felt at this time for William
Sulzer because of the character of his
accusers ana the circumstances of his
downIan. Yet, had 1t not been for the
well known nature of the opposi, ZION
TO him, the history OF corruption that
Tammany has wrought, the obvious
determination to punish an Official who
refused to DO It's dishonest bidding, the
impeachment of SuIzer on the same
grounds and for the same offenses
would have found him with practicaHy
no public support. The important
question now Is whether he, smirched
as he has been by the revelations of
the impeachment trial, regardless Of
the motive for his removal, can in his
own person sufficiently arouse the in
aignation Of the people Of New York
to destroy Tammany as power at Al
bany.

Poo.room teyu.at,on.

Maj. Syivester's recommendations for
the further regulation of the places in
this city where the game of pool is
played are worthy OF serious consider
alton. He suggests two changes in the
law, one that will bar from ali poolrooms
persons under twenty-one years of age
and another that will place under license
and regulation the so-cailed clubs that
have been organized to secure immunity
from official inspection and restriction.
There can be no doubt of the unwhole-
some influence exerted by these estab-
lishments upon the youth OF the city.
They are conducive to bad habits sucn
as idling and gambling and drinking.
The moral atmosphere that surrounds
them is distinctly low and degrading
They tend to draw boys away from home
influences and to weaken the ties that
the family should maintain upon the de-
veloping youth. The chief OF police is
right in his declaration that these estab-
lishments are demoralizing factor and
as far as possible they should be pre-
vented from communicating the boys of
Washington.

Commissioner Newmans declaration
last night on the occasion OF the open
ing OF the House Of Play" in favor of
a full utilization OF the school build
ings by all the people is gratifying
indication that the present board or
Commissioners will work to the end or
securing legislation TO this effect. For
some years the subject Of fuller use
of the schoolhouses has been locally
agitated. but thus far without effect.
A law must be passed giving the board
of education the right to open the
schoolhouses to the uses of citizens un-
der proper regulations. Last spring 1t
was thought that this had finally been
accomplished. An amendment to the
District appropriation bill was adopted
by the Senate to this effect, but II was
lost in conference. If the provision can
be written into the bill In. its first draft
il will probably stand and become the
law.
IL has been estimated that the school
buildings are idle about 80 per cent or
the time. counting nights. holidays and
vacation season. No business establish
ment would thrive that used its plant
only 10 the extent Of 20 per cent OF It's
possibility. Thus the schoolhouses to-
day represent great economic waste,
viewed strictly as a business PROPOSE
tion. Millions Of dollars have been ex-
pended In their construction and
equipment and maintenance, and yet
the community gets only a minimum
return from this investment in the way
OF the use of the building for educa-
tional purposes. Meanwhile, there Is a
tendency on the part OF the citizens 70
organize and discuss questions OF in
innate concern. There is a demand for
suitable meeting places. conveniently
located. The schools could be put to no
better use than to serve as social CEN
tiers. where the citizens associations,
the home and school associations and
other active civic bodies can hold their
meetings, where lectures and enter
tainments can be given. where In short
the people can gather for diversion, in
struction and acquaintance.
If the present Commissioners can Sc
cure this change they will have con-
ferred valuable boon upon the COM
munity The Star has advocated II for
many years. and is gratified to find
that the spirit at the District building
is strong to this end. The hope is that
within the coming year the District
schoolhouses will have been made
available for the social as well as the
educational development Of the people.

The Roller Towel.
. New York Herald.

From the New York Herald.
The announcement that the roller towel
must by administrative order cease to
be used in the departments at the Ma
tional Capital may seem to some an
oyer-refinement of hygienic precautions.
Those who know the results of recent
research in medicine, however, will be
glad that a national good example is be-
ing given in so important a matter.
Towels have been found to be me most
serious conveyers of eye disease. 1t is
quite impossible to keep the eyes OF chill
dren in an institution well If there is any
chance for the use of a common towel.
Even when only the hands are wiped the
fact that the fingers are carried to the
eyes leads to the spread of disease. Other
affections may be spread thus, though
only rarely. Where recent bleeding
points. as I'm barber shops. are touched,
however there is no little danger.
The instinct for cleanliness has in the
past sometimes proved an added danger
for the contraction of disease. low that
the knowledge of the simple precautions
needed for the avoidance of risk has
come, IL would be too bad IL Ii were not
taken advantage of. We hope that the
good example set will be widely followed.

An Experiment in Education.

Great claims are made for the novel
school system at Gary, Ind.-claims which
are, in sense, an indictment Of the
modern home. The school is open every
working day In the year There are no
vacations because the children are SO in
terested In what is going on at school
that they do not want to be elsewhere.
Two hours of each day are spent In the
regular academic work, the remainder of
the time being devoted to shop work,
housekeeping work Of various kinds,
music, art and recreation. Thus. the
hours Of school attendance are SO vari-
ously filled that there is no monotony, no
WEAKNESS. Minds and bodies are equally
developed and the interest Is kept keen.
The child Is trained not only for higher
education, IL he wishes to take 1t. but he
Is kept in health. At school, according
to one OF the advocates of this system,
the child lives richer, fuller life than
he can at home, the academic work being
connected in vital ways with the inter-
ests and problems OF daily life. There
was a time when the home supplemented
the school in this training. but that, owing
to modern conditions, is no longer true,
and the Gary system has been devised to
provide the practical training that the
child would otherwise miss.

The Secretary of the Interior appears to
