The tercentenary of the landing of the Pilgrim
Fathers will be on hand FIVE years from now, and
New England has begun to discuss its proper celc-
bration. The worlds fair method of observing an
anniversary has been overworked and something
original is demanded. No ordinary international
exposition of the worlds arts and crafts, with its
depressing sequel and financial deficit, would fill
the bill. A measure now before the Massachusetts
legislature provides for the appointment of COM

Mr.. Taft said in part: In this age

Of wealth and men of means are pro-
noting brotherhood. it is a pleasure to
find one school which, in the vernacular,
has made good
There are so many cases of well in
tended generosity where only the spirit
of the giver is benefited, while here We
have a perfect example of an eXpendi-
ture of money with the best of results.
Your president has made this school

gets up in the morning to care for il.
and then cherishes resentment against
all who do not sympathize with it and
give freely to 1t.
The thing which pleased me most
Of all in your presidents report was
the fact that only go girls out of 1900
have married. l rejoice at that state
ment. / am not opposed to matrimony
when its brings happiness, but so many
marriages are brought about by neCes-
sity: so many women have to marry
or they think they do-to relieve their
parents, or from custom.
Here in this school you are going
to avoid that by making these girls in
dependent. Girls who are able to earn
$50, SO or more a month are not liable
to marry the first man who comes along
and risk wrecking their lives
Another thing / liked about your
school is the fact that you keep your
pupils here from o'clock in the morn
ing until in the afternoon, and you
don't give them so much vacation. Our
girls and boys have entirely too much
vacation.
"A trip 1 once made to the East Side,
where 1 saw the gratitude of the i'm
migrant and his family toward the free
dom and educational advantages in our
country, which appreciation is sadly
lacking in men and women whose par
ents and grandparents were born in this
country, made me veto the immigration
law which demanded a literacy test OF
immigrants.
Those men who come over here do
not expect 10 make money by their wits,
but by their muscle. And they are the
ones who most appreciate the values OF
an education and who strive the hard
est to make II possible for their children
to get one.

If the Supreme Court of the United States con-
scnts to review the Of Oliver P. Newman
who, all other courts having jurisdiction declare,
was Ineligible to the Office OF District Commits
sioncr at the time of his appointment, Mr.. New
man may have qualified for the position by the
time the decision is rendered, by virtue of an
actual and continuous residence here, while full
filling the duties of Office which, the courts so
far have decided, he barred from holding by
law. That would certainly be amazing illu-
straton OF the to which legal processes may
be put, even though there has been expedition
rather than delay in the Newman case. A Supreme
Court decision, however, will mark the course
clear for the people of the District or future

The New \ ork subway is said to be carrying
fewer passengers as a result OF newspaper hys-
tcrics over the recent accident-thc only ar
all serious in the history OF the subway-in which
ono life was lost. Since the accident seems to
have been unavoidable and no blame can be placed
for it, the newspapers arc basng their attacks on
the fact that a few wooden cars arc still in use in
the subway, though this had no bearing on the
accident. The cartooniSts arc drawing wooden cars
in the shape OF collins and winning applause from
people who seem to have forgotten that until a
few years ago every traveller rode in wooden
car and the wooden car has never been rcspon-
sibc for an accident in the subway

A Line O Cheer Each Day O the Year

First printing of an original poem, written daily
for The Washington Herald.
By JOHN KENDRICK BANGS.
WHATS THE USE.
What's the use of hating when
Hating brings but woe,
While to love your fellow-men
Sets the heart aglow?
Would you pluck the weeds of rue,
Full of bitter gloom.
When within the reach of you
Lovely flowers bloom?
