power, and is to be equipped
with additional building space
at once, so as to provide so, 900
horsepower. This plant is sup.
plying current to every mining
plant in the Black Mountain
field, and is also supplying
plants in Eastern Kentucky.
The company has installed a
telephone in the plant. by
means of which communication
direct with Chicago is enjoyed

NEW CENTRAL HIGH
SCHOOL.

The beginning of the work on the
new 100000 Central High School
building this week marks the begin
ming of the elimination of a great
city enterprise which is of moment
to the entire community.
1t means much to the great body
OF Central pupils, past and present,
who have stood together for the last
ten years urging, first on the Board
Of Education, then on the Commits
sioners, and finally on Congress, the
needs of their school. 1t is splen-
did thing when young men and
women give themselves to a great
civic interest.
1t is significant because Congress
has taken a broad view of school
needs in Washington. 1t speaks
well for the future of the city when
the men responsible for the attitude
Of the houses of Congress, believe
that Washington should have the
best schools that money can build.
1t is difficult to believe that they will
take any other attitude toward
other pressing needs of the city.
It is significant because Wash
ington is to have a school which, in
size and diversity of equipment, will
give to the city the widest possible
service.

WELLESLEY'S Diff
GUILTY.

The plight in which Wellesley
finds herself with laboratories, lee
ture halls, and scientific collections
gone reminds US how far we have
outgrown the days when a univer-
sity could vent its pique against un-
appreciative townsmen by taking
staff in hand and migrating.
Serious as Wellesley's loss is, it
neither compels nor tempts inaction.
Under stress students gain more in
intellectual and moral power from
overcoming obstacles than they lose
through neglecting the letter of the
curriculum Helen Keller, blind Phi
Beta Kappas, survivors of typhoid
epidemic, volunteers VINO interrupted
their studies at the outbreak of the
civil and Spanish-American wars,
have by later achievements justified
their alma matters in relaxing regu-
lations IN their behalf. In college
years their characters gained from
meeting hard facts of life-the tang
for which others wait.
Wellesley's crisis is not immediate.
She can count upon alertness and
good team work in her student body,
qualities admirably displayed in the
summons, the drill, and the roll call
by which the girls were saved. She
can count upon the devotion and
adaptability of her faculty. The
real strain will come later when she
confronts in intensified form the
problem with which all colleges must
cope-the problem of stretching in
adequate means to meet a limitless
ideal.

TIGHTENING THE PLAZA
BURDEN.

Senator Sherman of Illinois pro-
poses a measure under which Prcsi-
dent Wilson could pay part of the
awards of damages for plaza prop
erty, and hold up the rest. The
President himself has explained that
he disliked to hold up the entire
appraisal; but he was convinced that
some of the awards were excessive,
and ought not to be paid; there was
no legal process by which he could
separate the reasonable from the un-
reasonable awards and treat them
separately. So he had to hang them
all up.
If it is possible now to classify
these awards, so that the ones to
which there is no objection can be
paid, and the others can be subject
ed to another appraisal, it will
greatly lessen tho hardship to the
owners of the property. The Sher-
man plan seemingly would do this.
This affair of the plaza condcmna-
tions, by the way, is good illustra-
ton of the fact that there is another
side to the question of having a town
governed by Congress. Even though
the Federal revenues make q contri-
button to the expense of the city,
there are constantly recurring ex-
periences such as this one. Three
millions of dollars worth of property
have been condemned by the Govern
ment, the buildings removed from it,
and all possibility of it's earning any
returns for the owners ended. After
that much has been done, the very
important detail of paying for it is
tied up indefinitely. Certainly a
town which is liable to such expert
ences ought to be entitled to some
modest consideration at the hands of
the authority which can impose such
onerous conditions.
The Washington times., 1914-03-21
THE ACME OF DECAD-
ENCE.

A Milwaukee prize fighter was
warned by the referee against rough
work.
A Great Lakes steamship captain
says the modern sailor has discard
ed oilskins and sea boots in favor
of tan shoes, thin socks and straw
hats.
This is indeed lamentable situa-
ton. When that section of our popu-
lation which is presumed to possess
crimson corpuscles descends to the
level of the rest of US in soft living,
romance must necessarily suffer a
decline.
1t must cause no little regret
among the realists of our fiction
foundries who hope to keep up to
date in the matter of thrills, to dis
cover that their idols not only have
feet of clay, but that said feet are
clad in tan shoes and Evergreen
socks!
In that decadent period of which
We seem to be on the verge, it may
be presumed that society reporters
will cover the denatured prize fight
in the following lady-like fashion:
"Round one: Mr.. Thomas yelling
ton Sharkey, affectionately known
among his companions as Mike the
Bite unfurled his well-muscled left
arm in a deliberate fashion, and
after a moment of serious considera-
tion, lightly tapped his opponent,
Mr.. Dennis Mccarthy Dolan, known
as Kid on the right wrist with
his forefinger. Mr.. Dolan promptly
reciprocated the courtesy with a
gentle pressure on Mr.. Sharkey's
left elbow"
All Of which might, in the inter-
ests of good government, be sub
scribed to, but imagine our favorite
swashbuckling sea hero starring in
a paragraph like this:
"A heavy sea was running. The
decks were ensheathed with ice and
the bitter nor'easter swept over the
of spray that threatened
any moment to engulf US. Tossed
like a cockle-shell ut the mercy of
the elements, our hardy crew knew
that the end was near. Only the
noble example of one man inspired
US with confidence. Jauntily our
captain stepped on deck, and we
knew that his rugged figure, attired
in white fiannels, soft silk shirt,
straw hat, white shoes and thin
white socks"
It is to weep
The Washington times., 1914-03-21

Minnesota, it was shown that almost
all the grain went into them as of
low grades; but almost all of it
came out as of high grades! What
does that mean? Simply that the
grain was graded down when the
buyer paid the farmer for it, ard
then graded up when the buyer sold
it out of his elevator. The farmer
was skinned out of the difference.
Investigation in Eastern markets
will not have to be very detailed or
expensive, to show that similar con-
ditions exist there.
Again, the farmer is too often
given an inadequate price, based on
a too-low grading of his grain; but
on the other hand, the American ex-
porters have been prone to over
grade their grain when it goes
abroad. The result is that American
grades are discounted in European
markets, and American grains suf-
fer there.
These facts have all been develop
ed in repeated Investigations and re-
ports, by legislatures and by the De-
partment of Agriculture. There is
cnly one possible excuse for a fail
ure of Congress to pass this legisla-
ton at this term, and that is the
ignorance of gentlemen who have
not had opportunity fully to inform
themselves about a somewhat COM
plicated subject. 1t is inconceivable
that Senator McCumber, who knows
the subject clear to the bottom, will
fail to arouse the Senate to the
of action.
