recognition we most heartily crave.
We are morally entitled to it, but
certain technicalities keep US from
getting it. There are three reasons
why we did not get it: First. because
not enough of our high school teach
ears hold diplomas from recognized
colleges; second, because the high
school teachers are required to teach
too many classes a day; and third
because our classes are too large. The
whole difficulty could be removed at
once if we had the money to get what
we need
Christmas is coming soon. We
cannot by tangible tokens remember
all whom we wish to remember at
this season. But to those who have
stood by the school in the months
that have passed; who have Loyalty
fought our battles when we could not
fight them for ourselves; who have
sacrificed that we might give to the
children of Conway the opportunities
we wished them to have; who have
been patient with us when we have
blundercd; who have given us credit
for doing wisely even when they
could not see through our plans to

New York's Milk Strike.

New York, having escaped the menace
of general strike called in sympathy
for the traction strikers, is now in the
grip of milk strike, which is threaten
ing serious famine of that important
article of food. Owing to a difference
between the milk producers Of the ad-
jacent rural sections and the retailers
of Greater New York, many Of the for.
mer are refusing to sell milk for New
York delivery, thereby cutting off large
part of the supply. The striking pro-
ducers are adopting the familiar meth
DDS of such warfare, picketing the lines
of transport and endeavoring to prevent
a breaking of the strike by the delivery
of milk from other producers who have
not Joined the movement At several
places squads of these strikers, some of
them masked, have seized milk cans
placed for transport and emptied their
contents into the roads. An immense
quantity of. milk has thus been de-
stroyed. This is similar to the tactics
Of the might riders" Of Kentucky who
few years ago as q means Of fighting
certain combination Of wholesale In
terests rsided the tobacco fields Of thst
state and destroyed crops BY whoIes11
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1916-10-06

to prevent farmers who had not Joined
them from selling. From the seizing
and emptying Of milk cans at the ship
ping stations it is but a short step to
raids upon the dairy farms themselves
and possibly the killing Of cattle.
Threats Of this have already been
uttered and the dairymen who are not
in the strike are picketing their farms
to protect their herds. Lawlessness of
this kind spreads swiftly and does much
damage before it is checked by the in
vocation Of military authority. It is
uncomfortable that the milk strike should
continue long, as already New York
is suffering seriously from the shortage
of supply and the public health is
menaced. Drastic measures are in con-
temptation to break the strike regard
less of the terms upon which peace is
finally arranged between the producers
and the retailers. The strike evil
reaches far and invokes the elements of
grave disaster.

Road Rules and Distractions.

1t might be suggested as regards re-
sponsibility for the dangerous conditions
on Bladensburg road which caused the
fatal motor accident of Monday night
that the verdict of the coroner's jury,
blaming the wreck on the chauffeur of
the wrecked car for turning to the left
to permit an overtaking car to pass,
missed the point of the real situation.
Had the chauffeur turned to the right
as the traffic rules require, 80 that the
overtaking car would have passed on his
left, the latter instead Of his own ma
chine would in all probability have hit
the pole. It is unfortunate that the
coroner's jury did not direct attention
in its verdict to the fact that a dan
gerous condition existed which, even
with careful observance of the regu-
lations by drivers, might at any time
cause a disaster. In this case, if the
chauffeur Of the forward car knew that
the poles at about that point began to
run on the east side Of the road he
would be doubly justified in observing
the traffic rule and pulling to his right,
but, on the other hand, the driver of the
overtaking car would by that action
have been led into danger by the very
rule of the road. He would have been
justified in seeking passage to the
right of the forward ear the driver of
which could presumably have a better
view of possible distractions than him
self. Whatever may have been the rea-
soning of the chauffeurs in this case,
there is no possible excuse for the lack
of warning lamp on the first pole of
the new series, preferably red light
Indicative of danger. Such a light is
always placed upon an occasional OBJ
struction of the road and should surely
be attached to a permanent obstruction.

Two Commissions and Congress.

The value of the work to be per-
formed by the commission for investi-
eating the questions growing out of the
so-called eight-hour law will depend, as
will the value of the work of the tariff
commission soon to be appointed, on the
result of next months elections. If
there is a democratic triumph all along
the line the work may go for much; if
the republicans triumph it may go for
nothing
As respects the tariff, the republican
contention is that the democrats got off
on the wrong foot. They did not lack
for information sufficient for a revision
of the tariff. The trouble was, and is,
that they applied their information
toward bolstering mistaken tariff pol
icy. Hence the failure of the Under
wood law. If the republicans control
the next Congress they will revise the
tariff on protection lines, and gather
their statistics with their own agencies
We shall probably see them scrap the
work of the Wilson commission as
promptly as did the democrats of the
last Congress the work of the Taft COM
mission
As respects the so-called eight hour
law, the republican contention is that
not only did the democrats get off on
the wrong foot, but took the step in
the dark, and under duress that dis
credited both the President and the Con-
gress. Moreover, as they insist, the law
enacted was misnamed. Clearly, then,
the republicans if they control the next
Congress will begin at the beginning.
They will refuse to build on the foun-
dalton that was laid in hurry, and
uXder hurry orders issued by agencies
without authority of any kind. The
President, it is true, made the recon-
saendation, to Congress, and held the
watch on Congress as the railway
brotherhoods were holding it on him
But the source of the law was the
brotherhoods.
just what the republicans if success
full at the polls will do in these two
matters is beyond forecast at this time.
That the country needs now, and will
need even more greatly later, new
tariff law is of general concession; and
that no republican Congress would re-
wise the tariff except on protection lines
is open to no controversy. But details
will depend, of course, on the conditions
prevailing at the time the subject is
taken up.
So little is now known about the
eight hour problem in its proper rela-
tons, not only to the brotherhoods and
the railroads, but to other fields of labor,
that if Congress enters into it and han
dies it thoroughly some far-reaching leg
islation may follow. An eight-hour day
is one thing, and it has not yet been
provided. Ten hours pay for eight hours
work is quite another thing.

eighteen years for the duties Of respen-
sible citizenship.
In leaving Washington and seeking
legislative Office at home Senior Quezon
has manifested not only ambition, but
political shrewdness. With opportunity,
he will be as member of the Philip
pine senate in position to shape matters
In his own interests-put into practice
some Of the methods he must have OBJ
served in this country. He may build
a machine, and show his followers and
others how that sort Of thing works. he
IS quick man, an orator after the orr
entail fashion, and, as every politician
should, and must if he is to accomplish
anything, puts high valuation on him
self.
But if the American people next
month put their veto on scuttle, thereby
indorsing the Taft proposition that it
will be some years before the Filipinos
are ready for self government, Senior
Quezon may tire Of his present Office
and try again for place in the larger
field here. He has seen enough of
Washington to like the town and the
work of Congress, and a return would
be tempting.
Senior Quezon, it will be observed, is
not superstitious. The American Senate
is regarded not as help but a hoodoo
in respect of presidential ambition
We shall see how the thing works among
our little brown brothers.

The Rumanian Disaster.

Late reports indicate that the Ru-
manian attempt to flank the Teuton-
Bulgar army under Mackensen by a
movement across the Danube into Bull
garia was not only failure, but was
an absolute disaster. It is stated that
these troops went over without artillery,
crossing the Danube by pontoons. In
just what force they crossed is not posi-
lively known, but evidently there was
no great number of them, else they
would not have been so quickly rounded
up and cut to pieces. If the Bulgarian
official reports can be believed two
thirds of the Rumanians were killed or
captured, one estimate from that source
putting the number who crossed at
$4,000 and the casualties at about 10000.
Apart from the serious loss of such a
defeat to comparatively so small an
army as the Rumanian the futile flank
ing operation is chiefly significant from
the indication which it affords that the
Rumanian strategy is seriously faulty. A
disposition seems to prevail at Bucharest
to rush matters, possibly in consequence
of Rumania's position, surrounded as it
is on three-fourths of its frontier by
hostile powers. This Inflated expedi-
ton into Bulgaria may, however, have
been the Independent action of some
subordinate commander not related to
the general strategy Of the campaign,
which is presumably under Russian
rather than Rumanian direction.

The New Downtown Postal Branch.

Postmaster Chance has provided the
downtown section of Washington with a
fully equipped branch postal station,
which measurably replaces that formerly
maintained at the city post Office,
in the now department building in ap-
proximately the same location. This is
a gratifying fulfillment Of his promise
of some months ago to meet the wishes
of the business men Of the city for a
central branch at which all postal bust
ness could be transacted. The new 18th
street station is in the heart of the
shopping district, convenient of access
and well arranged to give a maximum
of service to the people. The postmaster
will receive the thanks of business
Washington for his consideration for
their requirements, and their patronage
of the new station will doubtless fully
justify the installation.

Senator Quezon.
SAYS the New York Sun:

says the We" 1Ork GUN:
at is now Senator Manuel L. Quezon
of Tayabas. Having represented the
Philippine Islands as resident commits
sioner at Washington for several years
and worked strenuously for independ-
ence, he viii be conspicuous and in
fuential figure in the new Philippine
senate. Washington will hear from
Manuel L. Quezon before long"
How soon Washington will hear, and
in what way, depend good deal on
the result of our presidential and con
gressional elections. If Mr. Wilson is
successful and another democratic Con-
gress is chosen we may hear at a very
early day. Senator Clarke is dead, but
the spirit of his amendment survives
in the democratic party, and scuttle will
be reproposed. But if Mr.. Hughes wins
and Is supported by republican Con
gress, brake will be put on Senate,
Quezon's wheel Scuttle is not now, and
not likely soon to become, republican
doctrine.
Senior Quezon, as The Star has before
stated, has his eye DE the presidency OF
an independent government in the
Philippines If he succeeds he will cal
the government a republic. How much
of republic it will be may be gathered
from the present condition of the Fill

merous dialects are spoken, and educa
tion has practically just begun. Ameri

Over and Over.

Over and over, the Summer, rover,
Draws near with a song and sigh;
Her soft serenading too swiftly is fad
ing
AS autumn's gray shadows draw nigh.
The storm rattles grimly; the sun shines
but dimly
Till the rainbow's aglow through the
rain.
Through every mood ranging, existence
keeps changing,
Over and over again.
Over and over, the bee in the clover
Collects of the sweetness store;
And the grasshopper shiftiess is doomed
with the thriftless
To taste of life's pleasures no more.
Midst sorrow or singing the old world
goes swinging
With joys to efface every pain,
And with griefs still returning through
living and learning,
Over and over again.

printed all an editor has to do is to
sit around and watch the bills come
due and gently shake his money bush
until dollars enough drop off to pay
those, these, or them bills. When an
editor is not running off the paper,
his favorite pastime is to recline on a
divan, smoke a full-flavored Clara de
Lima cigar and watch the people
struggling with one another to get on
his list and pay the furtherest in ad-
vance. If he becomes annoyed, he
puts out his cigar, slips it into his
pocket, and then saunters down BOule-

ing space, as with tears in their eyes,
