their belated pay. But just why the

their belated pay. But just why the
United States should pay its bills in
this penny squeezing manner is not easy
to understand. The money is owed to
the teachers virtually from the begin
ming Of the fiscal year. 1t Is as much
fixed obligation as the interest on the
funded debt. Only bankruptcy would
excuse a shortage. Cheeseparing like
this is discreditable to the government
II is particularly so in view Of the fact
that the shortage in the teachers pay
comes at the time when they need all
the money they can raise. They are
about to begin the long vacation, dur
ing which they get no salaries, being
paid on a en-month basis, and the de-
duction of $4,000 from the pay roll en-
tails serious hardship upon many of
them.
If congressman were paid on such a
basis, with the possibility Of losing a
large percentage of the salary because
somebody cut the estimates for sheer
show of economy, there would be ire
mendous row. The case is 80 bad that
special deficiency enactment. making
good this obligation Immediately, is
fully justifable.

Cabinet Making.

This is a forehanded country. Chickens
are often counted before the Matching.
Election day is over five months away,
with campaign opening which may be
full of surprises, and yet political cabi-
net makers are busy.
On the democratic side speculation is
divided as to whether in case of re-
election Mr.. Wilson will continue his
present advisers in their places, or call
in new ones. Mr. Cleveland upon re-
turning to the White House did not call
back any of the cabinet ministers who
had served him before. But it cannot
be said that the second cabinet was an
improvement on the first.
In Mr.. Wilson's case, however, there
will be difference. Four years in
tervened between Mr.. Cleveland's first
and second terms. Whether had he sue
eeeded himself in 1889 he would have
changed his cabinet is q question. He
might not He was then on good terms
with every one Of his Official family.
But by 1893 political conditions had al
tered, and those in existence had to be
met.

A Public Building Commission.

The Senate committee draft of the
sundry civil bill contains an important
item providing for the creation of q
joint commission of Congress for the
purpose of ascertaining what public
buildings are needed in the District to
provide the government with suitable
and adequate accommodations, with al
lowances for future expansion, for all
of its offices, establishments and public
services located here If this commits
sion's report is followed by action the
government will be in the way of finally
giving itself, for the first time in its
history, complete outfit of housing
facilities Its needs have been accumu
lating for-many years. Its rent roll has
grown to immense size in consequence
of delays and postponements and un-
economical makeshifts until the total
of the prospective cost of a com
plete building plant is likely to be ap-
palling to conservative legislators, per-
haps fearful of the effect of large ap-
preparations upon the public mind. But
as a matter of business this expenditure
should be undertaken speedily. 1t will
pay in short order to put the govern
ment once for all under its own roofs,
and it will be infinitely more befitting
the dignity of the United States to be
properly housed.

A Demonstration in Unpreparedness

This country is getting an object les
son of a practical nature in what is
known as preparedness. The Presidents
call to the National Guard of the states
to mobilize was announced on Sunday,
June IS, and formally issued on the 10th.
Many people had vision Of the tens Of
thousands of state militia rushing into
the state camps and after day or two
for organization moving on the trains
and being whisked to the international
boundary, all ready for service. As a
matter Of fact. though more than a week
has elapsed since the order was issued,
only few hundreds of the guardsmen
south, and in all likelihood another week
will pass before any appreciable per-
centage will have started on the way to
the border.
The reason for this delay has not been
any lack of readiness of spirit on the
part Of the men. And with so few ex-
ceptions as to be conspicuously notable
the guardsmen have reported for duty
! and to the extent of their equipment
have stood ready to entrain. But un-
fortunately in almost every instance
the equipment has been deficient. There
has been lack of tents, of blankets, of
cooking equipment, of saddles, even of
guns. From every state camp has come
the same story, shortage in supplies.
Had the guardsmen moved Immediately
upon assembling they would have been
but a sorry excuse for an army in the
field, as regard their provisions for
maintenance.
In all likelihood it will be month
before this force of citizen soldiery,
perhaps amounting to hundred thou
sand at the border, can be regarded as
an army in the military sense, and from
the point of view Of regular command
ers it may be considered Of but poor
quality then. But it will have the com
pactness of organization and presum
ably sufficiency. of equipment, and it
will in no wise be lacking in spirit,
though probably to some extent deficient
in individual endurance.
1t has been a favorite argument Of
the opponents of preparedness that the
United States could raise an immense
army in very short order for the pur-
poses of national defense in case of a
foreign invasion. So it could, if the
enemy gave enough warning. But it
the enemy struck with the suddenness
and force with which Germany struck
France through Belgium nearly two
years ago, this country would be but
pitifully prepared for resistance, pro-
vided the navy did not keep the foe at
arms length on the sea. Tremendous
damage could be done by great land
ing force in a week, and unless the en-
tire male population fed inland before
such an invasion it is quite probable
that within a very few days much of
the army making material in the coast
states would be captured.

The Teachers Longevity Paw.

In some respects the ways of Con-
gress in dealing with the District, es-
pecially in the matter Of appropriations,
are past finding out Take the pro.
vision of funds for the so-called loneev-
ity pay of the public school teachers, for
an example. The statutes provide that
each year the pay of the public school
teachers shall be increased according to
fixed schedule Of advances, represent.
ing the aecretion of experience and value
to the service. 1t is possible to figure
out the prospective requirements under
this law, almost to q dollar. Save for
deaths or designations the actuaries of
the District government can compute to
within very small sum precisely what
will be needed to meet the salary de.
mands, just as II is possible for the
heads of the executive departments to
figure that the employment of so many
clerks at such and such salaries will
cost the government just so much money
in the course of the year. Yet for three
years running il has been the practice of
the appropriations committees to reduce
the amount Of the estimate for the
longevity pay, upon no other eonceiv-
able theory than that it is good form
TO cut an estimate on general principles
regardless Of the object. Consequently
il has been necessary twice to pass de.
fciency appropriations later to meet the
absolute requirements Of the pay roll.
This year the defciency--it 10 absurd
to cah such an item a deficiency, when
it results from q deliberate ignoring of
a fixed bligation-amounts to $4,000
and the schools have been closed and
the teachers dispersed for the summer

trusting to . subsequent action by Con-
gress to make good the amount they
have lost from their salaries.

present cabinet viii then be unavailable
for reappointmenti Mr.. Wilson is on
excellent terms with all Of them. CHIEF
and advisers are agreed about every
thing. Not single difference Of opin-
ion about anything is known to exist.
On the republican side comment is
general as to the excellent material that
will be available for Mr.. Hughes. Not,
indeed, since March, 1861, has any re-
publican President been SO fortunate in
that particular as Mr.. Hughes will be if
in March, 1917, the duty devolves upon
him to form a cabinet. Mr.. Lincoln, it
will be remembered, called to his coun
Gil table several of the men who had
been his rivals for the presidential NOM
ination the year before, and they served
him and the country with rare ability.
Among those within Mr.. Hughes call
will be Elihu Root, Theodore Burton,
John w. Weeks, Albert Cummins, Will
liam E. Borah, and others, all frst-class
men. And then, as the bull moosers are
coming into camp so rapidly and will be
Of much assistance in the campaign, a
cabinet office or two might we'll be ap-
portioned to them. There are some
highly competent men among them.
But it is early yet. Who may say
what the next few months may bring
forth? Great changes may be wrought
in that time as respects both men and
measures as they now appear in the
popular appraisement.

Exit Bull Moosery.

Again the expected has happened
and again the opposition to Mr. Wilson
has profted. By vote Of Eve to one
the bull moose national committee has
accepted Mr.. Roosevelt's advice and fol-
lowed his example. The great body of
bull moosers will support Mr.. Hughes
No other course was open to prac-
teal men of large political experience.
And, after all is said, Mr. Roosevelt,
Mr.. Perkins and Mr.. Finn are practi-
cal men. They know politics, and are
capable of appraising political situa-
ton. Their appraisement of the pres
ent situation was that bull moose ma
tional ticket headed by Mr. Roosevelt
would serve simply as an assistant to
Mr.. Wilson, and might again prove his
salvation. Hence, as former republicans
warmly disappearing the Wilson ad.
ministration, they turned to Mr.. Hughes.
These men, and others holding with
them, represented at Chicago yesterday
what remained of bull moosery in states
where this years battle will be fought.
\ leader among the few refusing to ac-
cept Mr.. Hughes was Col. Parker of
Louisiana, former democrat, and a
bull mooser largely through personal re-
lations with Mr.. Roosevelt. But Col.
Parker commands no following at home
or elsewhere. Less than three months
ago an effort by him to capture Louis.
lana for bull moosery failed dismally.
The response was feeble The demo-
Gratis. though handicapped by local trou-
bles. won easily.
The bull moosers accept Mr.. Hughes.
and he accepts their support. A work
able reunion will, Of course, follow.
Practical men will meet practical men
Tor q common purpose. At the council
table and on the stump the Taft men
and the Roosevelt men Of 1912 will CO.
operate as Hughes men in 1916.
Prominent democrats--men who will
give Mr.. Wilson most earnest support
have feared this arrangement. Could
they have ordered it, Mr.. Roosevelt and
not Mr.. Hughes would have been the re-
publican leader. In fact, they made
their feelings altogether too plain. They
all but doomed Mr.. Roosevelt for the
republican nomination. and thereby
strengthened the anti Roosevelt senti-
ment in the republican party.
The Hughes leadership, therefore, has
three reeommendations: Q) 1t repre-
sents republican. sentiment everywhere;
CD it has the Endorsement of all but an
uninfuential few Of the bull moosers;
and (3) it has aroused grave apprehen-
sions in the ranks of the democratic
party.
