On account of the Importance of the

get hearing from Marion county is
to attend a meeting of its citizens in

ton at Jasper Monday. July 5th, when
the county court meets in regular
session to transact regular business
with this bond disease as an extra all
nent to be cured, and these gentle
men had better be present.
Now for the Times. What is it
afflicted with that it should mention
July 9th as the probable meeting day
of the court, and then say, tomorrow

4 Strange Recipe For Acting.

Perhaps the most striking instance of voluntary hallucihation Is that re- corded by an intimate friend of the actor Talma. Langlois states that the great tragedian told him that when ever he entered on tho stage he was acc astpmed by force of will to make his brilliant. audience disappear and to yul:s ttute for them house full of skeletons. The emotion which these ghastly creatures of his own imagina- ton excited served. he declared. to give additional force to his own imper- sona tions.

Homes for the Poor.

Despite the passage at the last ses-
sion OF Congress of bill to cure
certain alley residence evils, the
problem presented by the inhabi-
tation of the capitals byways re-
mains far from solution, and it is
gratifying to note that Representa-
tive Borland, who has taken keen
and intelligent interest in this ques-
ton, has announced his intention to
press in the next Congress for the
adoption of a measure which will
lay the foundation for a corrective
construction enterprise, to provide
decent, wholesome homes for the
poor OF Washington. Mr.. Borland's
plan is comprehensive and includes
features of direct government aid
that call for serious consideration.
The whole purpose of his project is
to insure means for the acquisition
of homes by the earners of small
wages, under terms that afford OPP
portunities to virtually all who are
reasonably assured of an income,
however modest. This is in line with
the often repeated suggestion that
no solution OF the alley problem can
be found until a definite construction
scheme is evolved. 1t is not enough
to transform alley slums into parks
and Fairgrounds. Homes must be
furnished the jewellers in these
places, and it is the community's
business to insure that in their pro-
vision regard is had for the laws of
health and fot the public morals
This work cannot be left to COM
mercial enterprise, and must be aid
ed in some manner by the municipal
ity. The Borland bill will afford a
working basis for a measure that
should be the central feature of the
District legislation program next
winter.

No Married Teachers.

The board of education has decid-
ed, after an inquiry by a committee
lasting several months, to retain the
rule against the employment of
married teachers which has stood for
years as one of the cardinal princi-
Piles of school administration. The
public is not adequately informed as
to the arguments which have been
employed in the effort to secure an
abrogation of this rule, in the inter-
est of permitting teachers to con-
tinue in the service after marriage.
1t must be assumed that the boards
committee, charged with the re-
sponsibility of weighing these argu-
ments, has proceeded without preju-
dice to determine whether the
school service would be injured by a
departure from what may be called
the single standard of employment.
This is matter that is at present
wholly within the discretion of the
board of education, no statute of re-
striction ever having been enacted.
Ii the proponents OF the admission
OF married women to the teaching
force are not satisfied with the
boards ruling they have recourse to
Congress to seek the adoption of a
specific prohibition of discrimination
on the score of matrimony. Until
such legislation is had, however,
and unless the board Of education
changes its decision, the marriage of
woman teacher operates automati-
cally as separation from the serv-
ice 1t cannot be denied that the
rigid following of this rule serves to
deprive the school system of the
services of some of its most valuable
workers.

Plain-Clothes Men on the Cars.

An easy way has been found out
OF the difficulty about the ununi-
formed detectives of the police force
in the matter OF free street car rid
ing. These men will be carried with
out fares upon the presentation of
cards OF identification. issued by the
companies TO such men as are desig-
mated by the Commissioners. Inas-
much as the Commissioners are the
public utilities commission and in
charge of the railways as well as
municipal executives in charge of
the police the matter is not so COM
pick after all.
1t is undoubtedly in the public in
terest to have plain-clothes men rid
ing freely on the cars as means OF
maintaining order. The operatives
have no police power and are nat
uraliy disinclined to make cases"
by the ejectment of disorderly pas
sengers. owing 70 the loss of time
and difficulties involved, hence it is
desirable that the public should fully
understand that there may be po-
iiceman on any car, though not in
uniform. and therefore not in evil
dence. Good order on the cars is a
prime essential and should be main
tanned strictly.

The Government as Landlord.

lows an inquiry which has disclosed
that in the past this establishment
has been under grave suspicion and
even charges Of improperly. The
reissuance of liquor license to it
cannot be accepted by the federal
government as the guarantee of good
behavior, though the excise board is
supposed to consider. in passing
upon applications, all the facts bear
ing upon the moral standard of the
establishment. The Treasury has
the full power: te cancel the lease
