Crumley OF Tonopah. stating that n
coyote had been killed in the town

ing necessary TO advertise 80 days in

A SUBURBAN DRAINAGE DIS.
TRICT

Legislation has been introduced in
the Maryland legislature, looking to
the creation of a drainage district in
those parts of Montgomery and
Prince Georges counties that are ad.
jacent and Of immediate concern to
the District Of Columbia. 1t is ~
derstood that reciprocal Legislation
will be presented in Congress, with
the view to bring about cooperation
Of the Maryland and Federal juris-
dictions in these measures for the
protection of the public health.
There has long been realization
that, sooner or later, Washington and
the watershed regions of the two
countries which drain this way, must
establish cooperation in meeting
various problems. It ought to be
done by the creation of some sort Of
partnership in both benefits and ex-
penses. The whole Rock Creek val
ley is plainly destined one day to be,
practically at least, a part Of the
park system Of Washington. It's
watershed will become, and indeed
already is, of the utmost Importance
to this city. Washington could we'll
contribute to the maintenance OF
proper sanitary conditions through
out the adjacent rural sections; and
If those conditions are ever properly
adjusted It is probable that Wash
ington will have to do that very
thing.
1t would seem that the proper pro-
cedure, at this time, would 10 to
create a joint State and Federal
commission, to study exact .condi-
tons and requirements, and report
on them, with recommendations as
to the legislation needed both at An
napolis and on Capitol Hill. It is not
going to be easy to establish detailed
cooperation, but it should be brought
about.

DEFENDERS AND PAclFIERs

Representative Charles Bennett
Smith Of New York has a bill now
resting in the House Committee on
Foreign Affairs which provides for a
permanent peace commission of five
members, to be appointed by the
President, at salaries of $4,000 a
year each, with an incidental force
Of secretaries, clerks, experts, and
"such other help as the commission
may require" Newspaper comment
on this measure is requested by the
Peace and Arbitration Society Of
Buffalo, N. Y.
Well, here is ours-that at present,
and so far in the future as one can
see, peace commissions, peace So
cieties, and all similar bodies are a
drug on the international market,
while, with very restricted supply,
there is an unlimited demand for
ambulance drivers, field hospital
workers, and burying squads.
AS for this country, at this par
ticular moment, there is a very much
larger need Of regular soldiers at SIS
q month than of professional peace
commissioners at $4,000 a year.

member Of the Supreme Court Of the
United States. In describing his dis
qualifications they have lsed frankei
and more vigorous language tha1
anybody else has yet used.
1t is taken for granted oy every
body that the Committee on the
Judiciary, obeying the will of the
political machine which has the
Brandeis business in charge. is goiu,y
to report the nomination out to the
whole body of the Senate. But !. IS
almost unthinkable that, IN disregard
of all the testimony which mas been
given against Brandeis, and in de-
fiance Of the protests Of the most
eminent members Of the America
Bar, the Senate itself will fo.cc
Brandeis into the highest tribunal o.
the land. II it does, this will be the
darkest scandal ever suffered by the
Supreme Court in all its history. II
will be the most brazen piece Of
political mischief ever perpetrated by
the upper house of the United States

WHO SHOULD PAY the BILLsa

"A fine point is prodded into the
question of the revised relations OF
woman to the general scheme OF
things, by a suit that has been
brought in Milwaukee. A young
woman has sued her ex-fance for an
unpaid balance of cash advanced by
her to pay for their counting ex-
penses. The swain admits the lady's
part as paymaster for expeditions
10 theater, suppers, ct cetera; he
eonfesses even that he has already
repaid most of the debt; but as to
the balance, he opines that it should
be regarded as Offset by the graft.
fications which his society afforded
the young woman.
It doesn't seem unreasonable that
especially in leap year-the strict
ly up-to-date woman should do her
share of the counting, even to pay
imp the bills. There is testimony
that the women sometimes do the
proposing; it is even intimated By
some of the married men that the &c
would be deal more of such tes-
timony if they were free to tell I'll
they know. We choose to think tina;
they are just horrid for Suggesting
such thing, but that is beside tie
issue raised in the Milwaukee litiga-
ton.
The ladies have established pretty
firmly, the theory that when the en-
gagement is broken off it is a mat
ter of Individual taste whether the
ring shall be returned; but gener-
ally 1t is. That custom dates hack
to the early Victorian era when tie
girls required to be pursued and cap
tured. But it persists; and, now that
the ladies are taking a more aggres-
sive part in initiation of courtship, it
seems as if the converse ought to be
enforced, and the young woman be
permitted to recover her investments
ia the preliminaries.
Some of the feminist organiza-
tions, if they want to establish their
sex's entire equality, would do well
to back up the Milwaukee girls &C
tion. 1t may require an appeal TO
the highest courts. If there isn't a
constitutional question involved here
we'd like to know what sort of con-
stitution the country has.

POWERFUL BRANDEIs PROTEST

If there ever was another case of
seven former presidents of the
American Bar Association feeling
compelled to protest to the Senate
Committee on the Judiciary against
the confirmation of a man chosen by
the President of the United States
for the Supreme Court, we don't
know of it. That is what William H.
Taft, Simeon E. Baldwin, Francis
Rawle, Joseph H. Choate, Elihu
Root, Moorfield Storey, and Peter w.
Meldrim have done.
This protest is not partisan, tor
it is signed by both Republicans and
Democrats. 1t is not sectional, for
among the men who have attached
their names to it are representatives
of the best legal ideals and the great
est legal achievements in the East
New England as we'll as New York,
in the West and in the South. They
have declared in their signed state
ments that Brandeis is not fit to De q

THE FORUM AND THE PUBLIC

A highly Illuminating example of
how many good people in a COM
munity can go about defeating the
end toward which they are working
was afforded before the Board of
Education yesterday afternoon, when
societies affiliated with churches
pleaded against opening public
schools for forum meetings on Sun
days.
How persons living in large city
can so far fail to appreciate con-
ditions in such city is beyond COM
prehension. Every now and then
these same excellent people go forth
and complain that Sunday entertain
ments of various sorts are secular
izing the Sabbath. But when some
thing that makes for good citizen
ship, for education, for the develop
ment of civic ideals, is offered in
place of the forces that really as.
sail the rest day, these same good
people are found to oppose it.
Now if there is anything that desc
crates Sunday (which, incidentally, is
not the Sabbath) it certainly is not
an orderly meeting in a school
house. Force of association has
grouped the school, the church, and
cfe home in the American mind as
institutions sacred in character.
There seems a failure to realize
that the church is an instrument fol
! good, not an end in itself, and not
q close corporation to shut out other
influences for good. If churches have
failed to seize their opportunities
to divert the tide of amusement
hunters from diversions that are not
helpful, they certainly should moi
object if the community wishes tC
The Washington times., 1916-03-16

attain this end through the sdhoo
house.
The Board of Education went prec.
edent-gathering, and rests content
in the consciousness that twenty.
three cities of those investigated dc
not use their schools on Sunday
while only fourteen do. Frequently
school officials here have developed
ideas in Washington schools that
have been taken up by other cities
Sometimes they have done it in spite
of the Board of Education. This time
Congress is looked to for assistance
and the Johnson school forum bill
may bring to Washington a benefit
which its own education board with
holds.
The Washington times., 1916-03-16

About 10000 Philippine scouts and
the staff corps, added to this, make
up the Wanted 100000.
There are only 34,510 men avail
able for service in the field if every
post and garrison is swept clean. To
this it is proposed, with the Con-
gress legislation just rushed through,
to add 19,947 men, increasing the
total to about $4,000.
That is how "strong" we are.
Our 100000" under cold analysis,
shrinks to little more than a third
