New Governor General of Phil
ippines Is Calm, But Believes
in Getting Results.

One of these days Francis Burton Har-
rison. newly-appointed governor general
of the Philippines, will reach those sunny
isles. Whereupon it may be that strang
ers to F. B. Harrison, mistaking that
gentleman's invariable courtesy for a
temperamental blanc mango, will try to
bite him in the ear
It's a pity we won't all be there TO
see it, Because a deadly calm will settle
over those islands before the second bite
is taken 1t will be Mr.. Harrison's calm.

as though he meant it. He answers
questions by candid yes or "no'-unless
he declines to answer at all. He works
at his desk at night until the days work

o'clock the next morning. At vacation
time he likes TO go into the woods and
methodically pursue the particular bear

WORK FOR NAVY YARD
Additional Allotment of $685.
ESQ Will Keep Present Force
Employed.

Acting Secretary Roosevelt has an
nounced that the sum of $69,250 has
been allotted to the Washington navy
yard, in addition to the regular appro-
priations for the current fiscal year,
for special use in the manufacture Of
firing locks and heads for torpedoes,
breech mechanisms for drill guns and
subcaliber attachments.
That action was taken, Mr.. Roose-
Welt said. in order to avert the neces-
sity for further reductions in the work
ing force at the yard which otherwise

William B. Green, Dismissed Under
Moore. Reinstated by Wilson's Order,

William B. Green, dismissed from the
weather bureau during the regime of
Chief Willis Moore, has been reinstated
as an employe in the printing division
by executive order of the President per-
hitting the Secretary of Agriculture to
take such action.
This follows an extensive investigation
into the conditions surrounding the dis
missal of Mr.. Green, and the recon-
mendation of Secretary Houston of the
Agricultural Department that Mr.. Green
be reinstated.

Should Correct Injustice.

Congress owes it not only to the Dis
trict. but to the nonresident" communi-
ties to put the District of Columbia schools
on IN undiscr.minating tuition basis as
regards .'non-resdents' of all classes, re-
gardless of official position or of amount
of wealth and the taxes paid thereon to
the District.
Only by this means will strict justice
be done and agitation ended, and the
nonresident communities enabled unit
eddy to work out their several local prob
lens and attain the degree OF educational
independence they should have, and ought
TO have had years ago, and would have
had but for the former policy of Con-
gress, which fostered the belief that the
District is peculiarly national territory,

quate to the demands of war with any
nation which could be a real contestant

this fact is to create a fatal national
weakness. The course of such a decline

FRANCIS BURTON HARRISON
FULL OF DETERMINATIO

democratic nomination for Congress in
the thirteenth district.
Youngest Member of House.
That gift would have pleased a regular
politician just as much as Dutch measles.
The old thirteenth district was almost
completely republican. Residents who did
not dress for dinner would have white
washed for a living if New York had
any picket fences. But Harrison shook
hands and talked and blushed a shy, eff
Gent, continuous blush day and night
through the district until at twenty-nine
ne became the youngest member of the
House. Two years later the Roosevelt
wave swamped his candidacy for lieuten-
ant governor
will this defeat keep YOU out of poll
tics?' he was asked
i may be kept out of Office said Mr..
Harrison, in his well modulated Yale-bred
voice. But l cannot be kept out of pol
tiles
His social position is that of a Brahmin.
He is very wealthy; he belongs to innum
cradle clubs: his father was jefferson
Davis private secretary, and his mother
was Constance Cary Harrison, well known
writer of clever fiction.
Free Trade Advocate.
In New York he is a Tammany asset,
and in Washington he is, perhaps, the
ablest advocate Of free trade in the House
He ranks second to Oscar W. Underwood
on the ways and means committee Har-
rison is extraordinarily well liked on both
sides, not only because he is clean and
able but because he is such a beautifully
fair and free fighter.
And word of advice to the patriots Of
the Philippines: You may have assumed
from Mr.. Harrison's speeches that he
wants to take the hobbies off you just as
soon possible. but do not try to take
those hobbies off yourself because Har-
rison has the jaw and the eye of man
who can, will. and likes to run things

Object to Discrimination.

The grossly discriminating exceptions
introduced into the new law constitute
the chief ground of condemnation, be-
cause the common result of these dis
ordinations is to deprive the affected
communities of the cooperation and sup
port of the majority of their people in
the building up and Improvement OF To-
cal schools
The nonresident" government employe
who is public-spirited and far-sighted
enough to join with his less favored
ueighbors in the solving of the local
school question is the exception, and even
though he be citizen of the state where
he resides. The few individuals who
personally pay District of Columbia
taxes lin excess of the tuition charged,
are usually without minor children or are
patrons of private schools. 1t Is the
nonresident business and professional
men of Washington, both employers and
employees, and many of them taxpayers
in the District as well as at home, who
are bearing the brunt of the burden of
the situation created by democratic CD
Congress, which legislatveiy discrimi-
mates in favor of the official and wealthy
classes against the non-official and poorer
classes when it comes to bestowing free
educational privileges on technically
mon resident factors in the public and
private business of the capital.

D. c. SCHOOL TUITION
CAUSE Of COMPLAINT
Congress Alleged to Have Dis
eliminated in Its Treatment
of NOn-ReSidentS.
To the Editor Of The Star:

To the Editor Of The Star:
The recent announcement of an increase
of the tuition rates for certain non-resi-
dent children in the District of Columbia
schools serves to call attention again to
the extraordinary character of the school
legislation enacted by democratic Con-
gress in connection with the District APP
preparation act of June 20, 1872.
The Objectionable character of the lesis-
lation in question rests not in its doctrine
that the District of Columbia schools are
in general for the free use of residents
of the District only, nor yet alone in the
radical change made in longsettled
governmental policy without notice or
warning or opportunity afforded the
communities chiefly affected properly to
prepare for the assumption OF duties the
District and the general government
jointly had long assumed under the laws
of Congress.

There are about $40 citizens in Wash

sweIled chests, heads erect, and broad
erins on their faces. There is a reason.
For some time members of the District

Members of the First Regiment were
paid last night Tonight the members
of the Second Regiment, the battery, the

Separate Battalion will receive their
money. The pay roll totals about SIS, 600.
Each man who does not owe for equip
ment will receive $3.50 National Guard
pay. and from S to SIS Federal pay, ac-
cording TO the rating.

place last night The paymaster did not
arrive until about half an hour after

If you were handed a yellow bach
with $50 marked on one side and SO
on the other side would you think that
you had been the victim Of the "'money
changers" or would you think that an
error had been made and you had been
given just double the amount that you
should have received?
Inquiries made by a reporter for The
Herald last night as to the value OF
such note brought forth varied an.
swers.
why, I should say that the bill is
worth $50" asserted one man.
1T is good for S75," said a youth who
had evidently been learning something
about the mean proportion in mathe-
matics.
Still another declared that 500 was its
value while others declared that it was
worthless and would cause the owner
trouble If he attempted to exchange IT.
All doubts as to the value of the bill
were laid at rest when Joseph E. Ralph,
director of the Bureau of Engraving and
Printing stated last night that it was
worth $50 and explained how the note
originated.
Just two of these bills are in circula-
tion, according to H. o. Granberg-the
owner of one-a wealthy mine owner of
Colorado, who brought his collection of
freak money to an exhibit held recently
in Detroit. Both bills were printed in
the Bureau of Engraving and Printing.
The error can be accounted for" said
Director Ralph, "in only one way. The
upper end of the plate prints 800 bills
while the lower end prints $50 bills. The
paper is then turned over and another
impression is taken for the other side.
In some manner the plate was turned the
wrong way for the second impression, and
the two bills issued. Although they passed
through the hands of fifty people before
they left the building. they were even
tually put into circulation"
