No Responsible Function.

Moreover, the Commissioners have Gre
ated a new board of education which
would have no responsible function. ex-
cept advice, since all the authority, duties,
discretion and powers now vested in the
present board of education are to be trans
ferred and vested in the Commissioners
of the District of Columbia In addition
to a powerless director, they have added
an irresponsible board whose only power
is to talk In other words they have
scattered rather than consolidated power
by giving advisory power to the new
board of education, supervisory power
over instruction to the new director of
education and appointing power to them
selves. About the only consolidation that
is apparent in the proposed system is
the consolidation of patronage in the Com
missioners.
AT this point two questions suggest
themselves to the ordinary citizen and
taxpayer: First. just how are the people
of this District to have any voice in
school affairs when they are to be rep
resented by dummy board of education
upon, which no representative citizen would
serve? Second, just what is the object
of this dummy board. anyway"

| lumbia Cavalry, October 27.-Plans
practically were completed today for
road march of the Sd District of Co
lumbia Infantry to the target range at
Leon Springs. where Troop A of the
District cavalry now, is in camp. The
report gave much Joy to the men, de-
spite the fact that 1t is a long hike.
because they are anxious to see as
much Of the surrounding country as
possible.
When the Sd Regiment reaches there
the officers will have their pistol
practice, but the men probably will
have very little rife practice, as this
was had at Congress Heights, D. c..
and at Edsall. Va, while the troops
were based at Camp Ordway, Fort

The medical officers of the sanitary
troop, Sd Infantry. yesterday afternoon
participated in a tactical ride with other
medical officers of the camp.
The ride covered about sixteen miles.
during which the officers worked out
problems pertaining to the location of
hospitals and first-aid stations.
Fletcher Gilbert and Joseph o. Smith
son, both of Company F. Sd Infantry.
were returned to camp today under ar
rest after an unauthorized absence of
about a week. They were located at
Galveston. Tex. Charges have not yet
been preferred against the two soldiers.

CAMPAIGN NOW At
BITTERNESS STAGE
Friends Are Alienated and
Families Divided as Election
Day. Approaches.
Mr.. PERKINS IS INDIGNANT
BY N. o. MESSENGER.

NEW YORK. October 2s.-Republican
leaders are confident that tho swing
back to Hughes Is gaining momentum.
Democratic managers say that 1t Is too
late and that Hughes cannot catch up.
As the election date draws near tho
campaign increases in bitterness.
This fact Is noticeable everywhere
about town. Discussions are heated and
men take partisan sides violently.
President Wilson's supporters advo-
cate his cause with passion, indicating
a deep personal regard. The Hughes
men are scornful of the democratic
party and it's candidate. and spare no
words in their denunciation. Friends
become alienated, families are divided
and fights are frequent. Observers of
many past political contests say that
this is the most heated and bitter
struggle they can recall since the
memorable Blaine campaign.
Charge Misrepresentation.
The republican managers, while ad-
mitting the undeniable personal popu-
larity Of President Wilson. base their
confidence Of victory upon the claim
that the democratic propaganda is not
founded on fact and that the Ameri-
can people will recognize 1t and re-
buke it. George W. Perkins voices
the republican sentiment in a letter
written to Chairman Mccormick Of the
democratic national committee. He
wrote as follows:
You are conducting the democratic
campaign from behind a shield in front
of your office from which is displayed
the slogan, peace, preparedness. pros
perity,' and above this shield are drap-
ed American flags. The campaign you
are thus conducting is one OF down
right deception and man of your IN
telligence must know that it is de-
ception-that it is misleading.
This country is not at peace; 1t has
not been kept out of war. There has
been no preparedness, and our pros
Europe and not at all due to anything
that the democratic party has cham
pioned or accomplished.
The issue of this campaign at the
moment is can Wilson get away with
it? Can he get a sufficient number OF
voters to believe in your campaign of
misrepresentation and deception! Ii
so, he can be elected; If not, he can
not.
Thinks Voters Are Awake. h-'.
Personally, have too much respect
for the voters Of this country to be-
lieve that your candidate can get away
with it. I am confident that your ap-
peal to the yellow streak in American
citizenship will fail. and fail ignomin-
iously. as it ought to.
TT is enough to make the blood OF
any patriotic American citizen boil to
walk down 42d street and see the
American flag flung to the breezes from
every window in your office: You PEI
wave the American flag. but you are
mighty tardy in defending and protect
ing it,
The democrats pay no attention to
these taunts. but rest content with as
surance that the country believes in
President Wilson. that it credits him
with having prevented war. and that
there is the undisputed certainty Of
prosperous conditions.

TO SAFEGUARD FLOUR PRICE.
Millers Discuss Plan to Meet Any
Exigency at War Close.

CHICAGO. October 2s.-At the semi
annual meeting of the MiIlers' Ma
tional Federation here yesterday dis
cussions centered on suggestion that
at the close of the war law he passed
permitting the expectation of -four in
amounts equal to the wheat imported.
No such problem exists at present,
but. according to F. H. Price. export
agent of the federation. the members
fear that at the close Of hostilities an
embargo may be placed on -four be-
cause Of increased homo consumption,
thus 5eopardizing the stability of
prices.
IAN embargo on -four would. of
course. indicate a situation where
wheat would have to be imported"
explained Mr., Price. ITO keep up the
price of flour We ought, in such a con-
tingency. to be allowed to export the
-four equivalent Of the imported wheat.
on-exporting millers also would
benefit.
