The Night Schools Closed.

Owing to failure of appropriations
the District night schools have been closed
for the season and a most efficient means
Of public education has been suspended
Between four and five thousand people
have from time to time during the win
ter received instruction at these schools
in various lines. people who could not
possibly attend classes in any other cir
cumstances and who have undoubtedly
received grea1 benefit from the work
they have done The spirit that brings
the classes to the night schools should
be recognized and encouraged, and it is
to be deplored that the appropriations
for this purpose are not sufficient to keep
the classes going throughout the school
year. The early closing of the night
schools is another illustration of the fact
that the city's school plant is not put to
anything like its full USE Only a small
number of the schools are occupied for
night classes, and these for only a COM
parativeiy few weeks Of the winter.
with a larger fund the buildings could be
employed to give instruction to many
times the number now enrolled in the
night clasets, sid the city would I'M

The Cuban senate Is inclined to put a
chip on its shoulder in the matter of the
amnesty bill, and it will be interesting to
note the progress Of Affairs In the island
during the next two weeks. President
Gomez. upon receiving plain intimation
that the United States viewed the recent
ly enacted bill with disapproval, return
ed 1t with his veto and the house prompt
ly passed a new measure with the objec-
tionable features eliminated. Now the
senate has defeated that BILL Just what
the next move will be cannot be fore
tsld, but it is quite well assured that
there viii be no amnesty legislation in
Cuba that does not meet with the full
approval of the American government.
Cuba may try to eliminate the PLAT
amendment out of It's constitution, but
it cannot wipe 1t off the international
slate, and as long as it remains-and II
will probably remain permanently-such
objections as that recently entered to the
amnesty enactment will be effective.

there n slackness between outbreaks OF
disease. and probably at this time many
thousands OF people are without the pro-
lection Of late vaccination. As long -
this treatment is recognized as an ef-
fective safeguard against the disease 1t
must be submitted to by the people in
good spirit as the best known method of
protection.
Smallpox is no longer regarded with
the adherence of comparatively few
years ago, when its very name was
enough to cause a panic. The mortality
percentage of this disclose has been
brought to a low point through advances
In the mode of treatment and through
prompt isolation. Furthermore. the once
dreaded after effects, the disfgurements
and sometimes arrangements Of organs
of sight and hearing, are reduced to
q negligible point Nevertheless, owing
to the facility with which the disease
principle spreads. 1t Is necessary to keep
the strictest guard upon all cases and to
trace with scrupulous care each line OF
possible exposure whenever the disease
is suspected. With prompt reports by
physicians and vigorous work by inspec-
tors in following out exposure clues a
potential epidemic can be checked. There
Is no occasion to fear that this outbreak
will go beyond control, especially II all
citizens will cooperate with the authori-
ties in reporting facts and yielding to
precautionary treatment.

The Arlington Wireless Tests.

Beginning tonight tests arc to be I'M
dertaken at the Arlington wireless sta

fcials, with the object OF determining
the possibility OF communication from
this point with Paris and perhaps other
European stations. In addition. these
tests are Of high scientific Importance.
bearing upon not only the range Of the
Wireless. but its efficiency in various at
mospheric conditions. Already the Ar
hngton towers have sent and received
long-distance messages Of a surprising
nature. and the plant Is now regarded as
one of the most efficient in the world. 1t
is matter of no small importance that
the American capital should thus possess
a means of communication with tar dis
tant points irrespective Of cables and, 1t
is to be hoped, weather conditions. AS
q governmental feature the value Of the
wireless system Is not TO be easily esti-
mated. A degree of naval control Is In
sured which only a few years ago was
beyond the range of dreams. Already
since the Arlington towers were put into
commission they have been used prac-
tically In aid Of navigation, and Just at
this time the most important part Is
about to be played by the wireless service
in the matter Of the North Atlantic ice
patrol, which. it is expected. will safe
guard transoceanic ships during the sea-
son of danger. Indeed the practical uses
OF the wireless are expanding continually,
and results of the tests about to open at
Arlington may have a most valuable
bearing upon the future development of
this miraculous system Of thought trans
mission.

The Prevalence of Smallpox.

With the discovery of additional cases
OF smallpox in various parts of the city
it becomes apparent that from the orig
inal case. the origin Of which has not
yet been definitely ascertained. numerous
centers of infection were established and
these have in turn probably created other
exposure circles. with the result of
a now unknown number of potential cases
in the District. Just how many actual
developments will result cannot be esti-
mated. 1t is reassuring. however, that
the disease has thus far shown itself In
mild form and is not of the virulent type
80 greatly TO be dreaded. Meanwhile, it
is important TO carry on thoroughly the

William Jennings Bryan.

| At fifty-three Mr.. Bryan should be a
happy man. Certainly he Is q powerful
one. Wherever democrats meet. in coun-
| Gil or at festive board, his name is the
leading toast and influence. Wherever
cheers are in order his name Is cheered.
His is first, and the rest follow in their
places.
1t has taken a long time to produce
| this result Sixteen years have gone by
since a democratic national convention
was thrown into delirium by a young
| man from the Blackwater state, who de-
nounced the democratic administration
of that day, and proposed a new test for
his party.
In the first trial of conclusions he was
defeated. The republicans, with the aid
of the Clevelandites, won at the polls. In
the second trial he was defeated. The
Clevelandites again sulked, and again as
sisted the republicans to win. In the
third trial he was defeated. Though
some Of the Clevelandites had come over
to him by this time, there remained a
strong anti-Bryan feeling in the demo-
cratic party, and Mr.. Taft profited by it.
But last year Mr.. Bryan won. Not in
his own name, but in that of Cleve-
Wilson, who had previously been opposed
to the Blackwater orator, now subscribed
to the new democracy, and accepted the
democratic leadership at Mr.. Bryan's
hands, and on a platform in part written
and in part dictated by him. And al
though he did not poll as many votes as
Mr.. Bryan had done in 1895. 1900 or 1908,
he was favored by republican divisions,
and thus elected.
Naturally and properly, therefore, Mr.
Wilson, when the time came, acknowl-
edged his Indebtedness to Mr.. Bryan by
calling him to his side as chief adviser,
and it was the Secretary of State, as
well as the triumphant political leader
and old friend and neighbor. whom the
citizens of Lincoln acclaimed in hearty
fashion last night.
And Mr.. Wilson has set fashion.
Other democrats who opposed Mr.. Bryan
when he offered for the presidency now
praise him for farsightedness, stability
and courage. William L. Marbury, q
candidate for senator in Maryland, and,
as he claims, Mr.. Wilson's choice for the
place, confesses today the democracy
obligations to Mr.. Bryan. He credits Mr..
Bryan with the party's present power.
| It was Mr.. Bryan, according to Mr.. Mar
bury, who, first Of all, aroused the
country to realization Of certain dan
gers which were threatening the very
life Of the republic
This Is distinctly in Mr. Wilson's key;
and other democrats seeking place. either
from the President or from the people,
will adopt 1t. Love me, love my Secre-
tary of State is. and should be, essential
| to favor at the White House.

Two Taria. Announcements.

The democrats in Congress should be in
terested in two announcements respecting
their tariff task: ~ Mr.. Bryan Will onei
no suggestions, and (2) the President
will be freely consulted before the extra
session begins.
Mr. Bryan's position is, OF course, the
only tenable one. AS The Star pointed
out the other day, a Secretary of State
does not connect with Congress all
Appointed by the President to direct
under him the foreign affairs Of the gov
eminent, he answers to his chief. and Is
expected to confine himself to State De-
partment questions. Mr.. Bryan will do
this.
Two years ago Mr.. Bryan and Mr.. I'm
derwood were not in agreement as to
tariff revision The former thought the
latter a protectionist-a near-republican.
The latter resented the formers opin-
lon, and in a speech in the House re-
buked him for publicly expressing 1t.
Quite stir was caused.
The two men may be no nearer to-
gether today than then. But then Mr..
Bryan was at liberty to offer criticism.
AS a democrat and private citizen he
was within his rights in passing upon
the performance Of one OF his party s
leaders in Office. Today. he is in office
himself, and such a ons sss calls Tor
silence on his part respecting a"legisla-
tive program.
The Presidents position is altogether
different. He is directly connected With
Congress. 1t is part Of his duty to COM
municate with that body about legislation.
He may address 1t formally on the sub
ject at any time. He may with propriety
Informally confer with individual legisla-
tors, or with groups, while measures are
In the shaping. and thus secure informa-
ton in advance about what is coming.
This is to happen now, according to re-
port. Mr.. Underwood and his lieuten-
ants will submit to the President before
Congress meets the nature of the tariff
revision they have In mind and take his
views about their program. Suggestions
from him will be In order. Suggestions
by him will probably be made. and thus
the measure or measures which Mr.. I'm
derwood as chairman Of ways and means
will present to the House will carry prac-
tically the prestige Of the Presidents in
dorsement.
1t may be, therefore, that the Presi-
dents message will be general in terms.
as was his inaugural address: that he will
leave the Interpretation OF 1t to Mr..
Underwood. What the Senate will do

ures approved by President Taft in the
closing hours of his administration was
one providing federal protection for nj
pratory game and insectivOrous birds.
Tho recruitment of Agriculture now has
authority to establish closed seasons
throughout the country. State laws on
the question are now nullified by act of
Congress Such action Is necessary. So
useful a bird as the robin Is regarded as
legitimate game in some parts OF the
country The statement that agriculture
is damaged to the extent of $9OO.OOO,OOO
