The provisions made for the schools of
Washington by the District of Columbia
appropriation bill. as reported from the
committee. do not appear to be unsatis-
factory as starter. Especially pleasing is
the authorization of a new building for
the Central High School and for the col
ored high school, the former to cost ST.
100000. and the latter $55OO00. In the
case of the Central High School $500, 900
is appropriated for the construction work
of the first year. and In the case of the
colored high school $50 900 is made avail
able for beginning and carrying on the
work Additions are contemplated by the
bill for the Birney and Congress Heights
school buildings, and additional grounds
for the Petworth. Briggs and Cook
schools. In the matter of longevity pay
for teachers the appropriation reported Is
$4,000 being something over $4,000
above the current appropriation. A chief
medical inspector in the schools is au-
thQrized. and. on the whole, there are
things to be thankful for.

Police Needs of the District.

The police needs of Washington came
in for wide publicity yesterday. and for
some measure of Legislative notice.
Among the instances of presentation of
police affairs contained in the news col
umns of The Star We're tine recommends
tons in the annual report of Maj. Rich
ard Sylvester, superintendent of police,
which was released for publ cation yes

mended the purchase OF six motor We

vehicle for the detective bureau.
Commissioner Johnston in a statement
TO the subcommittee of the House COM
mittes on appropriations having in charge

was released for publication yesterday
and printed in The Star. urged an in
crease of police inspectors from three to

TO fourteen. of seigeants from forty-six

privates. He also urged provision for
motor patrol wagons.
The District bill. as reported to the
Houss4 yesterday, provides for a net re-
ductf.z in the force OF eighteen men I'M
der rs operation of the provisions OF the
law = last year that after June U'
1912, Ssere shall be no appointments ex-
cept 4, promotion to fill vacancies &C.
currir4 in classes 1, and of privates
in thsSnetropolitan police until the whole
numi,& of privates in all OF said classes
shall Gave been reduced to 60" Five
new r4otor patrol wagons are PROVIDED
for, serving eight police precincts and
causing a reduction in the number OF
patrol Airivers from twenty-six to eighteen.
This.is not altogether an unfayorable
beginning for the District appropriation
bill in: it's career in Congress- and the
needs of the police department will be
furthes considered by the Senate and
thrashSd out in the conference committee.
The demand for an increase in the
strength of the police force of the Dis
trict Comes from a variety of sources and
seems to he more and more insistent r.
Gently there have been few issues of The
Star which have not contained a report
of some citizens association meeting, or
other body of local interest. at which the
question of increased police protection
has been raised.
The work of the metropolitan police de-
partment is arduous. The territory COW
cred embraces nearly seventy square
miles. 1t is inhabited by a population
touching the 100000 mark. Outside OF
Washington. and that large part Of
Washington which was Georgetown.
there are upward of ninety towns and
villages and those settlements which We
call suburban subdivisions. There is a
close network of roads f-inged with
homes. There are big educational insti-
tutiOns. government plants and private
industrial plants scattered over this ex-
tensive territory. Washington Is a big
city, full of government buildings. monu-
ments and statues as well of the resi-
dences. great and small and OF the busi-
ness houses that go to make up all large
cities.
The area which each policeman is called
on to cover and the ratio of police to
population has often been a matter of
and report. 1t has been re-
peatedly shown that Washington Is less
policed according to popula-
ton than most other large cities. The
Washington police force, always small.
has never been increased commensurately
with the increase Of population. and the
between police and pOpula-
ton becomes greater when one reflects on
the manner in which that population has
spread out over the hills and fields be-
yond the city limits.

Mr.. Clark and the Party Platform.

Speaker Clark followed President Taft
in an address before the Ohio Society of
Washington last night. Mr.. Taft had
declared against the democratic program
respecting early independence for the
Philippines. and this was Mr.. Clark s
reference to the subject:
II have no inclination to make a Philip
pine speech. and I'm not going to. either.
| wish We were out of there in as good
shape as we We're when We got in. But.
according to the democratic platform.
which I didn't make. we are committed
to policy. / believe that when a man
gets office on a platform he should re-
ligiously live up to the pianks that are in
that platform.
Later. when the subject comes up in
Congress and a vote Is called for, Mr.
Clark may express himself at greater
length. But in these three sentences
enough is found to warrant the belief
that the Speaker is not an enthusiastic
and unconditional scuttler. nor a bitter
assailant of those who have administered
American authority in the Philippines.
He regrets our presence in the islands
as do many others, but evidently is not
Of the number who have only denuncia-
ton of the decision that took us there,
and of those who made it.
This short deliverance. however. is not
without weight in other matters. Mr..
Clark wants 1t remembered that he did
not write the Baltimore platform. He
did not. Mr.. Bryan is responsible for the
instrument. What the peerless leader
did not fashion with his own hand he
passed upon as fashioned by others. and
so became the architect of the whole.
And when the convention accepted the
work from him the democratic party be-
came responsible.
Mr.. Clark bows to the platform Not
mark you. to one plank. or to half
dozen planks, suiting his own views and
purposes, but to all the planks the plat
form contains. He believes that when
a man gets Office on platform he should
religiously live up to the planks that are
in that platform" A good, square-toed
American pronOuncement.
Now it SO happens that the Baltimore
platform declared with other things for
a single term in the White House. AS
to that proposition Mr.. Wilson has not
yet committed himself. Many efforts
have been made to draw him out. and
much curiosity exists, but it is as yet
Mr.. Wilson's secret whether he thinks
that a wise expression or not.
Mr.. Clark thinks it Is. He feels as
much bound by that as by any other
plank in the platform. He does not essay
to pick and choose. accepting such as
please and may profit him. and rejecting
others. but accepts them all.
What says Mr.. Wilson? If he asks Con-
gress to pass the Jones BILL or one of like
import, will he plant himself on the Bal
timore platform and lay the course by
the light of that expression? And. if So
will he then be able to maintain longer
silence on the subject of his relations to
the democratic leadership in 1913? Mr..
Clark asks for the observance of the plat
form. the whole platform. and nothin :
but the platform! Will Mr.. Wilson say
amen?

The Memorial on the Mall.

The questions of site and form of the
Lincoln memorial have been settled so
far as Congress has relation to the mat
ter. and with the Presidents approval of
the bill. which was passed by the House
yesterday. and which had been previously
passed by the Senate, the memorial. as
recommended by the fine arts commits
sion and the Lincoln memorial commits
sion. will be erected on the Mall between
the Washington Monument and the Poto-
mac river
The long-drawn-out dispute is happily
ended. At one time the attitude of the
advocates of the Washington-Gettysb urG
road threatened to block the memorial
Tians agreed on b. those to whom the
matter of the character of the memorial
was committed, and 10 reopen the whole
question, causing more years of delay be-
fore there could be any agreement as to
how the people of the United States
SHOULD give an outward and tangible ex-
preston at their capital of their affection
for the memory of Abraham Lincoln.
With executive approval of the bill the
work of rearing the memorial will prob
ably go forward with due promptness and
soon will arise the need for the memorial
bridge To connect Potomac Park and Ar
fullest possible expression and effect to
the memorial on the Mall.
Representative .dann. in urging the
classic memorial on the Mall in yester-
days debate. struck broad and pa
triotic note when he said:
Il think We can we'll afford to do
that which shows that the country
Is again a reunited country, with the
PASSIONS of war passed by, If not for
gotten. l would erect a memorial to
-Nbraham Lincoln on the farther side
of the Washington Monument, just this
side of the Potomac river. across the
river from the home of Robert E. Lee
and the burial place of both Union and
Confederate soldiers, and then I would
erect d memorial bridge across the Poto-
mac river, joining the then Confederate
states with the Union-aye. Mr.. Speaker.
joining the memory of Abraham Lincoln
with the memories and respect for Lee.
Aye, Mr.. Speaker, I would go further.
In the course of years not far distant l
would construct roadway from Wash
inSton to Mount Vernon. from Mount
Vernon to Richmond, and at the other
end of that roadway have the government
of the United States construct memorial
10 Jefferson Davis, the President Of the
Confederate states"
1t is significant of the national senti-
ment in this matter that when Mr. Mann
concluded these references to Lincoln and
Lee and Davis. and to Washington, Ar
hngton, Mount Vernon and Richmond,
the House of Representatives responded
with generous applause. Here is a great
picture The Lincoln memorial, to be
the noblest monument erected to the
memory Of a man. a bridge from park
