REALLY NOW, WHY NOT?

When the primitive idea comes our way-the
idea that to broaden womans interests will lessen
her womany character-we feel like crying Please
help the blind"
To diversity interests is to bring broadening
influence to bear upon the mind. No instance has
been found of man having deteriorated, or grown
less manly, because he became more enlightened;
none of woman having lost in intelligent woman
illness because she attained broader, more cul-
tured point of view Of course, if she happens to
be interested in civic reform, she may lose taste
for tatting but probably she will know more about
cooking, and her family will reap the benefits in
better hygenic conditions If the worlds status is
elevated only as the world advances in enghten-
ment, why is not the same applicable to members of
the race?
The mother who studies eugenics and teaches its
science to her daughter the girl who studies
eugenics and realizes that its principle controls the
direction of her future fe is in no danger of low
erng or weakening the character of womanhood or
the status of society.

THE GREAT MATTY."

With all regard and recognition for Baker, Col
lins, Bender, and the rest of the heroes made for
day and perhaps to be unmade in another, it must
be said that Mathewsons performance of yesterday
wins the highest honors of the worlds series to date.
Not only did the fine ola veteran win his game from
the box, but he won it again with the stick, in an
overtime inning He came back in his old-tme
championship form and gave one more proof of what
be accomplished by character, good habits, and
brains in maintaining athletic form and effectiveness.
1t is no disparagement of our own Walter John
to say that Maty" is yet the national pet among
the great pitchers. A vote would have shown that
a very great majority of followers of the game
wanted "Matty" to win because he was "Matty." And
he did
Youth will be served, and our own Johnson has
youth on his side. He will be acclaimed and ap-
plauded when "Matty" is reminiscence But today
it is the great Maty,'" wearing quite the most

SULZER DEFENSE'S COLLAPSE.

Governor Sulzers defense, in the public mind,
consists of the broad general statement of the facts
about Tammany control of politics in New York !;
Tammanys methods of making State business the
source of great profits for contractor politicians
Tammanys system of coupling the city hall and the
State capital together and running both from and
in the. interests of the Fourteenth street wigwam
All this is not literally defense of the governor
against the specific charges that have been made
against him, despite that it all makes powerful SEN
mental appeal which advantages him in his position
as the under dog. Tanmany would not have exposed
the wrongdoings of Sulzer if Sulzer had served Tam
many as it expects Democratic governor to do
but Tammanys motive in making the exposure does
not ri ght the wrongs that weak and vacillatng gov
ernor did commit
Just one important witness put on the stand
by the governor He was Louis A. Sarecky young
man who undertook to assume all responsibility for
the management of the governors campaign fund
the failure to report many contributions and other
details With just this record of the devoted friend
ship of one follower, the governor rests his case
Sulzer will take the stand because the court has
declined to permit him to deliver as Witness his
story of the methods by which TamHnany sought to
dominate, then to overawe, then to ruin him. Doubt
less this is amazing enough story. Probably the
telling of it in the sensational fashion that the gov
ernor would have told it would have added to the
measure of public sympathy for the man ground be-

KEEPING CONGRESS AT WORK.

Keeping Congress in session is rather easier than
keeping it at work, the House management is dis
covering The House has been without quorum,
and the Senate Committee on Banking has decided to
extend the time for hearings the currency egisla
tion pending which the Senate marks time. The re-
suit of insisence continuous session is observable
in very bad state of mind rapidly getting no bet
ter, among of all parties. 1t is beginning to be
exceedingly doubtful whether in the end anything of
either haste quality in legislative accomplishment
will have been gained by the policy of keeping a
tired nervous and exasperated Congress in continu
GUS session.

ANOTHER REPUTATION COMING?

President Wilson was quoted as declaring that
members of his party declining to support him are
not Democrats, but rebels Thereupon he wrote to a
newspaper editor very flat denial and insisted that
it be published with prominence. 1t was, of course,
correcting such nustices whenever they pointed
out
But in another paper yesterday the President is
indirectly quoted making statements that inspire
inquiry whether he will insist another correction.
Discussing his attitude toward the currency egisla-
ton, this paragraph was set down:
He tine President wants It thoroughly understood
that does seek Republican support for
the hill and that he is willing to stake his future and
that of his party the legislation.
1t is hard to believe the President has quite usti-
fed such statement of his attitude. There is some
thing peculiarly narrow in the partisanship of such
attitude that does not comport with the character
of Woodrow Wilson. Surely the Administration has
thought that currency is necessarily properly
party issue. There is nothing in platforms pledges
to make it that. There is line of party division
it sharp this statement would suggest. 1t
is assuredly not the purpose pass currency meas
ure that will be good for Democrats but not good for
Republicans. Moreover, deliberately to force par
tsan lineup on question that is not and has not
been partisan, would the poorest possible way
to get satisfactory and permanent settlement.
The currency legislation which shall pass will
have far better chance for fair trial and an un-
biased verdict if it is not made party This
later atributon of sentiment the President seems
quite much to need reputation as did the earlier

ADMINISTERING THE SCHOOLS.

One of the cheerful impossibites about the
government of the District of Columbia may be oo-
served in the school administration. The District
Commissioners control the physical property, buy
sites for school buildings the buildings thereon
conduct negotiations with Congress for The appro-
prations with which to do the business, control the
hiring of anitors the fiscal relations with teachers
here the buying of supplies, etc. On the other hand,
the Board Of Education takes the plant and estao-
lishment handed to it by the Board of Commission
ers and is expected to run the educational end or
the business
The Board of Education is appointed by the
judges of the Supreme Court of the District. lhe
Board of Commissioners is appointed by the Pres'-
dent
Thus there is no unity of responsibility, no COM
mon denominator of authority, for the two bodies'
The division of powers and responsibilities is such
as could not possibly fail to drive harmony and econ
omy off the premises Considering how bad is the
system, the educational results have been remark
ably good. 1t is to the credit of both boards, and
testimony to their forbearance and good sense that
this much can be said.
For two days recently the Commissioners have
been in session with the Board of Education on the
business of preparing the educational section of the
District estimates of the coming year. The Commits
sioners might have gone ahead and done the Work
without conference with the school authorities, but
they preferred otherwise. They have taken the posi-
ton that at least it is the duty of all concerned to
make the best possible out of bad situation and sys
tem and so have announced the policy of co-opera-
ton and thorough understanding with the Board OF
Education
In a very large proportion of American jurisdic-
tions, the school board is an independent taxing
body 1t makes its budget, decides its needs, hg-
ures out the mlage of taxes needed to produce the
required amount and then levies its tax independent
of the city or county or other taxing authorities.
That system probably goes too far to the other ex-
treme. There ought to be some central authority
over the business of levyng taxes. But the school
authority should not be quite so many removes from
command of necessary funds, as it is here 1t should
not be dependent on the Commissioners to estimate,
the Congressional committees to indorse, the Con-
gress to legislate That is too long string to be
pulled A Commissioner or Superintendent of Edu-
cation, chosen by and answerabe to the District Com
mission, through whom the District Commission
would more directly conduct the Schools would seem
better form of organization.
That, however, is impossible at present So long
as the existing anomalous division of authority is con-
tnued by the law, the board and the commission are
right in keeping close together and reaching thor
ough understanding as to what they want to do and
what they need to do it with
