the Athletics easy. These Havana
Reds are easy. Almost as easy as
them Athletics. Our boys are going

Keep the Flag Ready.

The announcement was made few
days ago that flag famine existed
or was imminent in Washington, and
that the citizens committee and its
subsidiary organization. the commit
tee on decorations, after borrowing
all the flags that can be released by
the War Department and by the
Navy Department from its various
navy yards, is unable to meet the re-
quests OF many merchants who de-
sire 10 wrap their buildings in the ma
tional colors for the Grand Army en-
campment.'
If there was flag famine it seems
to have been relieved, and if flag
famine was only imminent the dam
ger seems to have been averted. Per-
haps if all the flags and banners and
streamers that are flying in the CAPT
tai today should be sewed together
they would make a red, white and
blue quilt under which the whole city
of Washington could sleep.
But the lesson in this is that there
should never be a flag famine or the
threat of flag famine in the capital
of the United States. The demand
for bunting for decorative uses is SO
frequent that all business houses
should have their flags and banners
ready for instant display. A ma
tional flag should be part of the fur
nishing of every home in the District.
Many mercantile establishments keep
their decorations ready to their hand
and many homes have their flag, but
it would be better if this provision
and provision were made in all cases.

School Congestion.

Complaints of inadequate school
facilities come from many sec
tons of the District, and not
alone from those sections contig
uous to closely settled parts of
Maryland. The story of congested
schoolrooms and halliday classes is
an old one. 1t comes up every year.
The demand for adequare school ia
-eilities is unanimous. 1t seems to be
difficult to have a school building pro-
gram to keep pace with the increase
in children That increase is such a
delightful and desirable condition
that there ought to be no niggardli-
ness in providing for the proper up
bringing of children in SO far as the
public school system is concerned. A
constructive school expansion pro-
gram which would somewhat antici-
pate the future and keep ahead of
the needs of the minute would be ad-
vantageous in all ways. 1t is state
of affairs that should be brought
about, but in seeking to bring it about
many obstacles have been encounter
ed. Perhaps some day the situation
aimed at will be realized.

departments a sufficient number OF
Spanish War Veterans and Sons OF
Veterans to carry on the work OF
registering the veterans, handling the
big crowd at Camp Emery and act
ing as guides, the G. A. R. and citi-
zens' reception authorities turned for
aid to the High School Cadets. and
the news has now been given out that
the cadets will bear large share OF
that important work.
When the municipal picnic and
citizens testimonial to the govern
ment bands that have provided free
concerts in the public parks was de-
termined on it was decided by the
public-spirited promoters of that tes-
timonial to call on the High School
Cadets to furnish drill as one of
the brilliant and popular features of
the program. Through all the years
that the High School cadet organi-
cation has been in existence it has
been one of the picturesque and use
full ins situations OF Washington.

when collected those statistics would
be for Congress to take or leave, as
it saw fit.
The national foreign trade council
sat in New York yesterday, and
adopted resolution looking to the
negotiation of commercial treaties
with foreign governments, and to that
end suggesting the appointment by
the President of a commission ito
include at least FIVE active business
men and one tariff expert, whose
duty it shall be to investigate and re-
port to the council upon the efficacy of
the present United States tariff sys-
tenn for the promotion of export
trade and its protection from undue
determinations by foreign govern
ments."
Now this is something like, al
though the object is not new. Reel
procity is an old proposition, has
been the dream of some economists
and some practical business men, and
treaties in accordance with the idea
have been negotiated. 1t may be a
good time to- take new and longer
steps in that direction. since the war
has made, and will leave, business
everywhere on new and complicated
bases.
We should not. however, forget,
in any circumstances or in whatever
we do, the cardinal fact that the
tariff is in the hands of Congress,
that Congress is always divided into
political groups, and that consequent
ly the tariff cannot be taken in any
real sense out of politics., Any eff
fort OF that kind would simply in
crease difficulties already sufficiently
great,

The Best Capital on Earth.

OF the District. spoke the sentiments
OF all Wasliingtonians and of all
Americans except the smallest of the
little Americans. when he expressed
the hope as well as the belief that
Washington would become the finest
capital in the world. Speaking at the
banquet OF the Illuminating Engi-
neering Society. the District Engi-
ncer Commissioner is reported as
saying: With all the people of the
United States back OF this movement
for better Washington, we feel that
Washington not only can be, but will
be, the finest capital in the whole
world
Every American is interested in the
city of Washington. 1t is his capt.
tai. He is one of the proprietors of
the city. and has strong patriotic
and sentimental concern in its devel-
opment. He wants it to be the best
capital on earth.

A Most Important Issue.

How important is the tariff issue,
how much in the public mind, may be
gathered from the fact that wherever
two or three are gathered together,
with business the subject of discus
sion, the tariff engages attention. All
business, both in America and abroad,
is dislocated. and may continue SO
for some time. The tariff law under
which we are operating was framed
for peace conditions. But even then
it failed. Necessarily it is greater
failure now. War has produced con-
ditions under which the law, even
had it been successful at the start,
would have failed. Hence the wide
and profound interest in the topic,
and the various suggestions as to
what should be done to relieve the
situation.
At cards, when in doubt play
trumps. When puzzled by the tariff
propose a commission.
Yesterday. before the Commercial
Club of San Francisco, Myron 7. Her
rick proposed "a non-partisan non
political tariff commission with power
to raise and lower tariffs to meet the
exigencies of the situation" Con-
gress could not invest any such tribu-
nal with any such power, it alone
under the Constitution having the
power ito raise and lower tariffs"
The utmost any commission could do
would be to collect business statis-
tics for the use of Congress. And

Wilson and Bryan.

Althoueb the President and Mr..
BRYAN parted official company over
a foreign question. it is clear now
that the time was near for them to
part over domestic questions. They
could not have remained much longer
together under any circumstances.
For two years they worked to-
gether without friction. They agreed
in the main about the tariff. Each
was revenue reformer, Both want
ed a low tariff, and each exerted in
huence with Congress in shaping the
Underwood measure.
Both were antitrust; and while
neither had definite program. both
supported the spirit actuating the
democratic leaders in Congress in
pressing for additional antitrust leg
isiation. The measure obtained was
acceptable to them.
Both wanted currency reform; and
while neither had bill Of his own,
both sympathized with the general
purpose of their brethren in Congress
TO put a measure of some kind
through. The President signed and
Mr.. Bryan approved the bill finally
agreed upon.
Those three measures ended for
the time the first domestic chapter.
Come we now to the second chap
ter-preparedness, votes for women
and prohibition. On those three
propositions the President and Mr..
Bryan are wide apart.
The President thinks the present
national defense inadequate - how
much so he has yet to specify. He
must soon take definite position.
Mr.. Bryan has taken his position,
and announces opposition to the
whole preparedness program. Both
army and navy are big enough for
him. No more soldiers, no more sail
ors, no more ships. He is figuring
on perfect peace, and for all time.
The President is against prohibi-
ton, and deplores the introduction OF
the question into politics. A letter
written by him on the subject de-
feated statewide prohibition in the
recent democratic primary in Ken
lucky. Mr.. Bryan is for prohibition
as national issue, and neglects no
opportunity to speak for the cause.
He would have his party divorce it.
self absolutely from its liquor con-
nections.
The President thinks votes for
women question for the states. He
IS soon to express himself at the
polls in his own state as to whether
he wants women to vote there. Mr..
Bryan is in favor OF the proposition
in national sense, and wants women
to vote in all the states. He is soon
to make some speeches in states
where contests are in progress.
Plainly enough, therefore, the
PRESIDENT and Mr.. Bryan had reach
ed as companions the end of their
Journey. Holding views so anti
pathetic on issues SO important, they
could not have longer continued
assreeably or workably in harness to-
scther.

The Cost,

The banners of glory are splendid
As brightly they CLEAN 'gainst the
sky.
The gold with their colorings blended
Is something to dazzle the eye;
And nothing, we say. could be greater
Than these emblems unfurling
anew,
Yet our wonder increases when
later
The price-tag is brought into view.
The song OF the land and the ocean
Is a song OF magnificent thrill,
And the patriots cry of devotion
Our hearts with high purpose will
fill.
But the Spirit of Traffic will find us
And Time for accounting will call
And the future will grimly remind us
That the price tag is biggest of all.
