Of that department
AT the meeting Of the Board of Education on Monday
evening the matter of the recent acts of vandalism
committed in The High School came up In the course
OF the discussion it announced that the vandas
had written obscene inscriptions and drawn disgust

What le said is outrageous insult to Miss Car

ing her lie and talents to the teaching Of right living
aud good citizenship; unwarranted reflection upon
every hoy and girl in the cvics class. and unpar
donabo aront the parents Of those boys and girls
We challenge President Baynard to show, by direct
crcumstanta evidence that anyone connected with
the civcs department had anything to do with the dis
heurement and dehlement of the building.
We challenge him to show that. by hearsay
he justified in casting such outrageous reaec

upon anyone connected Herewith.

The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion has reopened' the freight-ratc
case on which they gave a so-called
decision August /, 1914 after an in
vestigation extending over thirteen
months. The rehearing is a sufi-
cient comment on the previous YER
diet The question at stake is one
of broad and vital public policy, and
will not be settled until it is settled
right. II seems TO be generally over
looked that the principles essential
for such a settlement were laid down
in the decision of August 1. The
majority opinion by Chairman Harlan
ran in part as follows:
The public owes to the private
owners of these properties, when
well located and well managed, full
consent to earn a fair return on the
investment, and the carriers owe to
the public an efficient service at rea-
sonable rates.
In view of a tendency toward a
diminishing net operating income, as
shown by the facts described. we are
of opinion that the net operating in

is smaller than is demanded in the

and the railroads.

Build Up the Army and
Navy or Abolish Them
lion lhe WashIngIon PoaO.

Some OF the peacc-at-any price
idealists have sneered at Gen. Woth-
erspoon's report in which he urges
an increase in the strength of the
army and system OF providing re-
serves. One or two peace organiza-
tions have also passed resolutions de-
claring their opposition to any IN
crease in the navy. II is difficult 20
detect any ground Of argument for
their opposition to military pre-
parcdness except the good old plea.
Let everything slide: the Lord Will
look out for the United States.
Why should not the heads OF the
army and navy give their best ad-
vice TO the country as 10 the national
defense? What are they kept in
service for, if not TO furnish the best
thought that Is in them? The sug-
gesiion that army men are always
trying TO initiate the army. and navy
men always trying 10 bleed the

The navy. without regard for other
national needs. has no solid merit.
Congress is composed solely of civil
lians and there is no danger that
the country will be turned into an
armed camp and surrounded with
bristling hattleships The danger
lies al the other way in neglect OF
the most obviously necessary pre-
parations for defense.

ReheaHng the Railroad Rate Case
CFrom Golfers Weekly

This commission is not constituted
by law of general managers OF the
railroads of the country, and the as
Of rendering suggestions as
10 management ought never to delay
or postpone the settlement Of a plain
matter of law and fact involved in
an application for advanced rates.
In the three and a half months
which have elapsed since this deci-
sion. the facts have changed only 70
the further disadvantage of the rail
roads. The fundamental question IS
not merely that of giving the rail-
roads a sort of war tax to tide them
over until things get better. The IS
sue is whether regulation can or
cannot furnish. constructive leader
ship adequate for our problems. The
pity of il is that number Of the
commissioners seem unable to under
stand this Apparently they view the
railroads as a bit of dubious private
enterprise which should be corrected,
checked. and kept under. The truth
is that the railroads are funda-
mental national service which must
be developed and maintained, Or
else our next great expansion of in
dustry will be hindered. If not pre-
vented. In this hearing the Inter
state Commerce Commission itself IS
on trial. and it is the future Of regp-
lation in the United States which's IS
to be determined.

There is no particular evidence Of

power her resources could not have
been employed so far with greater
disregard OF the requirements OF

Germany is the Sultans financial
hacker and the conduct of the war
is in German or pro-German hands
it is not very likely that the religious
interests of Islam will take prece-
donce of the political and military in
terests Of Germany and Austria-Hun-
gary.
Yet there is a considerable danger
that fanaticism may get out of hand
and upset plans for keeping the war

Of the army and navy, with a view
20 mending defects and bringing both

for adequate defense. He hints that
expenditures in these directions
should precede lavish appropriations

this view. in spite of the resolutions

ted in the Budapest newspaper. "Pes-
ter Lloyd which holds that Turkey
is not championing the cause of Is
lam against the European and Chris
iian world. but is really trying TO
bring Islam and Europe into closer
relations. II holds that "the Young
Turks are acting in Egypt, Arabia,
Morocco and Tunis as champions
against the enervating intrusion OF
q superficial and corrupting foreign
dominion In these countries il is
held to be Turkeys duty to spread
the European culture withheld from
them by England. France and Russia
