Sto, DE Cexsy Armies.

Gen." Jacob S. Coxey sends word to
the White House that the second
Coxey's army of unemployed will start
for Washington on April I6 from
Massillon, Ohio, the starting point
of the army of twenty years ago which
paid President Cleveland's administra-
ton a memorable visit Coxey plans to
arrive here with his new rag-tag-and-
bobtail band on May 81 ostensibly to
petition the President and Congress for
measures which will give work to the
unemployed.
This will give you forty-fve days to
inform yourself of the object of this
second march," Coxey says in his mes
sage to the President, "and to consider
the practicability and justice of our de-
mands. On the previous march two
other leaders and myself were jailed
twenty days for their efforts"
Coxey doesn't forget the twenty days
he spent in jail here with his doughty
lieutenant and son-in-law, Carl Browne
who died in Washington a few weeks
ago. to keep him company. Neither does
Washington forget the weeks during
which it was compelled to shelter and
support the remnant of the army, and il
is not anxious to repeat the expe-
rience.
Meantime $50 members of Gen
Kelley's California army are headed East
in a refrigerator car and authorities oi
various cities are preparing to speed
them along toward Washington, not per,
mitting them to tarry overnight.
Unless some means of hating and
dispensing them can be devised Wash
ington is again to be confronted with
the problem of feeding and controlling
an army of shiftless characters blindly
following their fanatical or visionary
leaders upon futile errand. No pos
sible good to themselves or the honest
unemployed of the country can come oi
their presence here. 1t is to be pre-
sumed the administration is doing and
will do everything possible to provide
employment for those who want to work
Steps should be taken, drastic ones, il
necessary, TO head these armies off. 1t is
neither right nor necessary that they
should be unloaded on Washington.

ton, and City Superintendent William
H. Maxwell are both strong advocates
of the wider use of the school plant for
social service.
Sixty school buildings, in various parts
of the FIVE boroughs, are now in use
from the middle of October to the mid
die of May, to provide recreational
facilities for the children and for weary
wage-earners. An aggregate weekly at
tendance of over 100000 shows how pop
ular the social and recreation centers
have become, and proves that the peo-
pie appreciate the opportunities afforded
by the board of education through the
cooperation of the board of estimate
and board of aldermen.
All forms of extra school activities
will necessarily entail some extra ex-
pense, but it is believed that the re-
turns in civic betterment will fully JUS
tify the expenditure. City Chamberlain
Henry Bruere emphasized the inn
portance of this social side of educa-
ton when he declared recently:
"We need social centers and amuse-
ment and recreation that will do away
with street corner loafng."
Safe shelter from the evils of the
streets may well be afforded by the
social service possible through our
school buildings.

LAND OF THE FUTURE TENSE.

Then laziness. do not do today what
can be put of till tomorrow" is the first
commandment in the unwritten constitu-
ton of the Mexicans. Beware of the
Mexican who engages to do something for
you tomorrow" For tomorrow" mere
ly means some time in the future. Be-
cause of this peculiar point of view
Mexico has been humorously dubbed the
land of tomorrow" 1t is the land of
procrastination, the land of POGO ITEM

made for 10 o'clock in the morning may
be kept at II or Il o'clock. or perhaps not
until afternoon. The MeXicans never
cease wondering at the remarkable en-

When 1t is intended to keep an appoint
ment promptly the words "a la inglesa"
are added to signify that the appointment
is to be kept after the English or Aneri-
can fashion.-Corresponden of the

A stok. hat Would Win.

Not even the most ardent supporters
of President Wilson in his effort to Sc
cure repeal of the exemption clause OF
the Panama Canal law will be able to
find anything in the statement of his
views, which he permitted to become
public yesterday, to strengthen his posi-
ton before Congress, where stubborn
fight over the proposition is assured. He
merely repeated what he said so well in
his address to Congress and emphasized
the fact that he is asking the repeal first
and principally as matter of expe-
diency and to meet condition now con-
fronting his administration. The ques-
ton whether his party's platform declar-
alton, his own former views and the
previous action of Congress were right
or wrong was only secondary one.
His suggestion that the, United States
could afford to be generous now in
yielding without quibble all that the
judgment of the rest of the world holds
that we ought to yield, sounded much
like lauding the generosity of the thief
in giving up all his spoils when caught,
when it is remembered that Congress
enacted the exemption law and that the
Democratic platform and the President,
himself, declared in favor of If. In
other words, while we had once grabbed
everything in sight we are now willing
to generously give everything up.
President Wilson must, of course,
have seen a new light since the cam
paign, because in his address to Con-
gress he said: 81 have come
to urge upon you the justice, the wis
dom and the large policy of such re-
peal" He added that "in my judg-
ment" such exemption is in plain con-
travention of the treaty with Great
Britain"
As we have said on former occa-
sions we are in hearty accord with the
President IN this issue. We 0clieVe ne
is right and we want to see hit conten-
tions sustained in Congress. Perhaps
he is satisfied that this will be the out
come of the struggle in which Demo-
Gratis are arrayed one against another {;
but with Clark and Underwood firmly
and publicly opposed to repeal, the Pres
ident, it would seem, ought not to take
chances of defeat when he has victory
in his grasp.
If he would explain to Congress in
his own convincing way, not the diplo-
matte exigencies involved, but the Jus
tice of such a repeal and why such
exemption is in plain contravention" of
our treaty his splendid and courageous
fight would be won

AsPHYXIATING BULLETS.

Monsieur Killing, director OF the Paris

1t is to be hoped that Washington is
not becoming, like Mexico, the land of
tomorrow" but there does seem to be
a lack of impetus where several impor-
tant public projects are CONCERNED. SEN
ator Gallinger has referred to the Dis
trict Commissioners letter from a resi-
dent of Washington inquiring why work
on the new M Street High School, for
which an appropriation was made two
years ago. has not been started School
facilities are inadequate as it is, and
there should be no delay in the construc-
hon of new buildings that can possibly
be avoided.

selected had been those of young women

Patriotic publicists" put high value
on the advice they give Senators on
how to run the country. Two of them,
who appeared before the Banking and
Currency Committee for hearings"
when the currency bill was under con-
sideration have sent in bills for their
services, one asking S2,5oo and the other
$1,000. 1t makes legislation rather ex-
pensive when the country has to pay
salaries of the Senators and their ad-
visers, too, especially when there arc SO
many people perfectly willing to give
advice for nothing.

Women tax assessors in Chicago have
been notified that if they don't stop
talking about what they discover in the
performance of their duties they will be
discharged. This action follows the
publication of newspaper articles tell
ing of onyx bathtubs and other luxuries
in the homes of the rich. However, this
cannot be regarded as an argument
against women voting and holding office,
because everybody likes to know what
goes on in executive sessions and jury
rooms.

What President Rea Meant.

Though President Rea spoke with
convincing earnestness in his address to
the stockholders of the Pennsylvania
Railroad, two weeks ago, an address to
which The Herald has twice before re-
ferred, his warning of grave and i'm
minent danger to the country's pros
perity failed to arouse to action those
whose duty it is to safeguard the ma
tional welfare.
President Rea spoke of the impover-
ished condition of the railroads, due to
hostile legislation, and of the imperative
need of action by the Interstate Com
merce Commission to permit the roads
to increase their freight rates. We again
quote a portion of his address:
If large numbers of railroad men
and others depending on railroads
for every character of supplies and
work are out of employment and
general loss of confidence exists and
suspicion has been engendered, no
attempt must be made to place this
responsibility upon the railroad
management. They have issued
warnings and made petition for fair
dealing, but without effect.
The words have an ominous sound.
They are calculated to inspire swift and
effective action to avert calamity; yet
only this week it was announced that
the Interstate Commerce Commission
was not ready to give its decision, that
it would take more testimony, make
further inquiries. Is it possible that the
President and his advisers knew, that
the members of the commission knew
of existing conditions which were dis
closed yesterday in the news dispatches,
conditions which bring President Rea's
warning to mind like a fash and with
a shock?
This is what has happened-the Penn
sylvania has suspended 1900 employees
on lines east of Pittsburgh; it has
placed 10000 of the remaining $4,000
employees on shorter time; it has sus-
pended 200 employees in its general Of
fees; it has taken off a number of
through trains and will further curtail
its passenger service; it will stop work
on improvements and extensions, defer
other projects in contemplation and
adopt policy of retrenchment and rigid
economy throughout its system. As re-
trenchment and economy have been in
practice for years past, these newest
measures necessarily mean a cutting to
the bone. The road will merely exist
and operate upon a scale to provide
meagerly for the bare and immediate
necessities of transportation until relief
in some form or bankruptcy ends the
struggle.
Without doubt other roads are doing
just what the Pennsylvania has done
and more will be compelled to follow
their example. Realizing the complete
dependence of the country's commerce
and industry upon its railroads we fear
to contemplate the future. Whatever
it may bring, it is sure the responsible
ity for it will be placed where it belongs,
for there is no mistaking a spreading
public conviction that the railroads have
been sufficiently chastened and that the
time has arrived to help them heal their
wounds.
Announcement today granting the rate
increase would be barely in time to per-

Winston Churchill, I'VE must see to il

The only effective remedies for city

and women are compelled to work many
hours each day in shops, stores and
factories, at labor which has become
monotonous, owing to the specialization
of labor, and the development of ma

"a cog in the wheel"
He often becomes merely a passive
workman whose chief duty it is to watch
the machine, feed it with material, and
hour after hour to perform a task abso-

therefore, must be provided so that al
night the tired workers may be refreshed
with games and athletics, and be in

life worth living.
