ancse yoke.
In your report OF the speech OF ex-Presi-
ident Taft at the twenty seventh annual din
nor Of the Ohio Society Of New York, just
before he retired from the White House, you
said his speech voiced the opinion OF those OF
influence in the United States who are OPP
nosed to Independence. II so, II is well.
And would add that it would voice the SEN
timent Of all loyal Americans if they under
stood conditions in the Philippine ISLANDS
and our relations with them as well as does
the honorable cx-President
Mr.. Taft said, among other sensible Things
that il the Jones bill passed, giving inc
Philippines independence within eIsht years.
il would spell the end Of Democratic power
for at least twenty-five years. "for our sue

Usquebaugh and the Scots Temperament

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Your exoteric editorial of this morn
ing regarding the suppression of the use OF
usquebaugh in the country of or by the Scots
shows that even an editor can fall short OF
reaching the nub of a question. Yet, per
haps, this is not to be wondered at, for as it
takes full sized man to qualify as a Scot
so equally does it require the same calibre to
understand him.
Now, according to the reliable tales Of
my grandfather it is an indubtable fact that
having first put RIGHT guild williewaugh be-
meath the waisthand of Highlander, next
'Clap in his walenieve blade" then "His
but to know how he may snead twa heeds at
blow"
Would the British government. in this
hour Of stress. take the chance, dire it might
be, Of diminishing such result? "Not if
this court knows itself, sir, and the court
think it dol"

Sir: After reading your leading article on
Lord Robert Cecil. which appears in to-day's
issue, am moved to ask you a question: As
you have had such great success with the
British government in inducing them to tell
YOU their Utmost thoughts 90, why not turn
your attention homeward and discover for US
Mr.. Hughes's thoughts and opinions on and
about the German, pro-German and hyphen-

Thrift Taught Here.

Thrift is taught in the schools of the
District. 1t is not given the same at
tention as the three RS" of course, but
the teachers are expected to inculcate
thrift whenever and wherever they get
the chance. 1t is one of several sub
jects which they are supposed to teach
the children under their care, but which
can receive little or no space on the
formal daily program because of the
fact that it is already overcrowded
Now, however. in a pleasant, easy
way, the children are to have an OBJ
portunity to learn something of thrift
first hand, and in a practical way. As
one enthusiast remarked: "It looks
like game where every one can win. !"

That question is being asked fire.
quently on the streets of Washington
these days by children who aim to have
their school lead in obtaining the great
est amount of old newspapers to sell
and thereby add the greatest amount
to the school fund for Fairgrounds and
other activities of social nature.
This plan of raising funds easily,
yet without asking any one to buy
something's has been done frequent
ly to raise money for various purposes

Start Before Schools Open.

Although the schools are not yet
oper, and therefore the plans for col
lecting the papers have not been
worked out in detail, boys and girls
who are anxious to see their respective
schools first in all lines have already
begun to gather old newspapers so that
their school may have handicap over
those where less foresighted children
attend.
Persons who take daily papers and
do not have children in the public
schools need not think they will not
have a hand in the campaign to lessen
the shortage of news print paper. The
children mean to get every one.
While the money which it is expected
to raise through this plan will be help
full in many ways, and can be put to
many uses, this is not the only fea-
ture which makes the plan attractive
in the eyes of those who are interest
ed in it, Through the scheme the
children will learn thrift in a practical
way. They will learn the value of
things which are often discarded as
useless, yet which, when properly used,
may be of great value.

Railroads, EmplOye. and the Public.

without undertaking at this time TO go into
the merits OF the railroad wage question, the
Justice or injustice OF the mems demands, or
the warrant OF the managers in resisting those
demands, IL is altogether proper that word be
said on a phase that Is getting but scanty con-
alteration from either side just now. That Is
the public's concern in the question that may
grow into a serious controversy. SO far, each
side has taken great pains to get its claims be-
fore the people in the very best light. Press
bureaus are maintained, and much literature"
~ being sent out intended to impress the popu-
lar mind Nothing has yet appeared that indi-
Gates consideration of the fact that in event OF
disturbance in the transportation industry the
public will be the sufferer; nor OF the equally
important fact that IL is the public that pays
the bill in the end II is to be fervently hoped
that the men and the companies may adjust
their differences on a basis that will be salts
factory to both sides, but the contestants must
remember always that the duty they owe to the
people is far greater than their own private in
terests. No matter to which side the sympathy
of the people may lean. nor how sentiment may
be divided on the question at issue, the one
point on which all will agree is that the wage
question must be adjusted without disturbance
of service that is so vital to our social life. The
side that forces the strife to an open break
must shoulder a great responsibility.
