the trial?" the detective was asked.
After" was the reply.
The action of Mr.. Straus in filing
his complaint may mean that Judge
Robinson will sit as referee on the
sanity issue. If the evidence pro
duced is sumcient to convince him
that young McCandless is insane, he
is authorized by statute to issue an
order on the commission on insanity
directing them to take charge of the
boy. In that event the youth will be
put in the insane asylum.
That George McCandless may be
considered q defective person yet pos
sessing sufficient responsibility to
answer for his misdeeds. was the gist
OF an opinion offered this morning by
DR.. N. B. Emerson, Police Surgeon,
who, upon the request of William Nc
Candless, father of the boy, was call
ed uIlon to make an examination OF
the youth, Immediately following his
conviction upon a series of charges of
gross cheat.
Il found that young MeCandless
might be considered as defective per-
son, and believe that the boy was close
to the border line, yet concluded,
following my examination as to his
sanity, that the lad possessed suffici-
ent responsibility to be called upon
10 answer for hts offenses,' said DR..
Emerson.
McDufte's Statement.
Mrs. McCandless, mother Of George
McCandless, was apparently indiffer.
ent to, the fate in store for her son,
FOLLOWING his arrest, charged with ut
-tering sheaf of worthless checks,
according to a statement made this
morning by Chief OF Detectives Arthur
McDuffie.
4 called upon Mrs. McCandless, i'm.
mediately after we had placed the boy
under arrest said the Chief Il re-
lated to her the series of offenses in
which the lad figured. She then told
me that the boy had been a source
of constant worry and trouble to his
parents for the past four years, and
that they had now given up hope of
his reformation.
'She further added that she did not
care to make any effort to fight the
cases against her son, but was willing
that the law should take its course"

The New School Superintendent.

The selection of Ernest L. Thurston as
superintendent of schools, TO fill the un-
expired term until the LIST OF July next, is
warranted by Mr.. Thurston's demonstra-
lion OF ability IN tie course of his service
as assistant superintendent for several
years past The situation confronting
the board of education was one of diff
Guilty. DR.. Davidson's success as the
head of the local school system was
marked and set a high standard OF adj
ulinistratiye capacity and educational
qualification. To I'LL his place was not
easy, despite the abundance of good ma
tcrial TO be found here in the District.
Having determined to choose a local
school official for promotion TO the ONCE
of superintendent, the board was chiefly
embarrassed by riches. So strong were
the claims OF several of the subordinate
officials for consideration in this connec-
ton that the board was unable to effect
a choice as promptly as was desirable.
Mr.. Thurston's appointment, it is an
nounced, is for the present merely to fill
the uuexpired term, which is to be taken
As an announcement that he is to be
given an opportunity to prove his qualifi-
cation TO I'LL the enlarged authority and
responsibility or the SUPPLEMENTARY.
That he will prove capable to meet this
test is the belief of his friends and the
earnest hope of the community. 1t is
highly desirable to nil the position per-
manently and to assure the schools con-
tinuous administration. During the past
Few years they have suffered from numer-
ous changes in the superintendency which
have had disturbing effect, regardless
Of the qualifications of those successfully
IN charge. The school board is at presen:
actuated by a sincere desire to maintain
equilibrium in the school system. to ailay
friction. TO promote efficiency and to
make progress along all educational lines
10 the extent that the allotments of pub
lic funds by Congress for this purpose
permit. With confidence that Super
lntendent Thurston will apply himself
steadfastly TO carry out this program and
20 maintain this spirit in the school sys-
tenn. Washington feels that the board of
education has chosen well in meeting the
situation caused by DIR. Davidson's with
travail TO accept a more attractive, be-
cause more remunerative, position.

From the Boston Transcript.
1t will probably surprise the public not
little to be told that in the city Of
Washington. the capital of this country
distinguished for its large and imposing
civic structures, the largest auditorium,
suitable for convention purposes, includ-
Ing noor, stage and galleries, seats only
about 1900 people. At the latest session

For great gatherings, especially those of

more in request We're there an adequate
hall for their accommodation. 1t is the
seat OF government, it has within its
limits repositories of knowledge nowhere
else so rich or SO available. There would
still be plenty of conventions to go around
among the other cities, but some are of
such character that they more appro-
priately belong to the capital.
To correct this deficiency is a part Of
the purpose of the George Washington
Memorial Association. but only a part of
it. Perhaps, if SO minded. the national
government could equip the city, over
which it has direct control, with such a
needed convenience. But it would mean
merely a big building and nothing more.
The conspicuous structures erected in
Washington should hsfve a character be-
yond the mere accommodation of crowds

It may be said that the city itself, with
its beautiful avenues and stately build

but names of places lose their personal
significance, and specially designed

The Radium Supply.

Secretary Lanes endeavor to secure
from private monopolistic control the
lands which contain the minerals from
which radium is produced should be sup
plemented by the early passage of the
necessary joint resolution under which he
proposes to withdraw from public entry
all lands which may possibly contribute
TO the radium supply. IL is surely
bad situation that. with practically all
OF the MISUNDERSTANDING ores located in
the United States. 1t is necessary TO go
to Europe for the actual radium. as is
now the case These ores are exported
from this country to Europe, where they
are treated and the radium is obtained
The total quantity of this precious metal
now in existence is very small. and as a
result Of the intense competition for it
there is at this time. as Secretary Lane
states, less than two grams of radium
in the United States, that is to say re-
duced radium-and all of this has been
taken from American soil and has later
been bought from Europe by American
physicians. The geological survey has
made researches OF value in indicating
possible deposits of uranium and vana-
dunn, from which radium is reduced. and
furthermore the chemists of the bureau
OF mines have perfected a new process of
deduction which it is proposed, after
further tests. to give TO the public. With
this government in full possession of all
the remaining radium-produc,ng lands
not already pre-empted under private
ownership. and an effective reduction
process available, there will be small
reason to fear harmful concentration
of the visible supply. In view of the
present practice Of using radium for the
cure of cancer, which has been attended
with sufficient success to warrant belief
in its general efficacy, 1t Is vitality essen

The Undaunted Patriot.

He was an ardent party man,
Upon election day.
He vowed that he would help the plan
To make a nation gay.
And when his candidate had won
The banner high he waved
And vowed a noble work was done.
The country had been saved,
A patriots reward he claimed,
With incidental pay.
But somehow he was never named
For place. Time slipped away
And his enthusiasm fine
Grew gradually less.
Till his remarks were in the line
OF positive distress.
No more he talks about the way
Those patriot votes were cast.
He hopes that next election day
VIII rectify the past.
He says in accents very grave
He'll work with might and main
And see what can be done to save
The country once again.

Suffrage and Income Tax.

Friends Of the suffrage movement in this
country have reason to be somewhat dis
turbed by the declaration that certain
leaders Of the movement are planning to
resist the collection of the income tax
and that their purpose is applauded by
the Congressional Union for Woman Suf-
frage, with headquarters in this city. Re
sistance of legally imposed tax can be
no other than a form of miiitancy, and
anything suggestive of militancy in this
country will be serious mistake which
may have a deterrent effect for many
years to come upon the suffrage develop
ment. This is not the time to raise the
issue of taxation without representa-
ton as a means of facilitating the en-
Reimbursement of the women of the United
States. If the suffrage movement had
been seriously halted, if some time had
passed without advances in the states,
there might be some justification for a
feeling of despair. But on the contrary
there is every reason for the women of
this country who wish to be enfranchised
to be encouraged With nine states giving
full suffrage to women and others giving
limited suffrage and with campaigns in
progress in several others promising early
results and with a steadily rising tide of
sentiment in favor Of equal enfranchise
ment there is no occasion to feel that the
fight is not successful. Resistance of the
income tax may prove embarrassing to
the government, but it is more likely to
prove embarrassing to the suffragists
themselves who defy the law The Off
Gals of the Treasury Department cannot
discriminate as long as the statute reads
as it does, and while there may be dispo-
sition to avoid an issue, eventually those
who, as matter of principal, refuse to pay
the income tax must be subjected to the
penalty which the law provides. 1t is stated
by the Congressional Union, in a formal
outgiving on the subject, that resistance
to this act would have IAN excellent edu-
cational value" This may be true to
the extent of arousing interest. But the
advantages Of exploitation would be very
quickly offset if this educational resist
ance were carried to the extent of pre-
cipitating what may, for the want of
better term, be styled militant defiance
Of the tax law. The temptation to put
the government to this test may be very
strong, but if wise counsel prevails among
the suffragists it will be resisted and the
women who are subjected to the income
tax will content themselves with paying
under protest, thereby gaining publicity
for their contention without putting In
jeopardy the progress OF their movement,
now so promising.
