Protest Next Wednesday.

On next Wednesday the subcommittee on edu-
cation of the Committee of the House Of Repre-
sentatives on the District of Columbia will give
public hearing on the proposal of the District
Commissioners that they be given absolute con-
troll of the educational system of Washington.
with power to appoint the Board of Education and
direct and supervise its actions.
There is no difference OF opinion on the ques-
ton outside the District Building The Commits
soners are the authors and sole advocates of the
proposition. Against them solidy arrayed all
of the citizens of Washington, the taxpayers and
the parents of the school children, who are the
most vitality interested. The many grave objec-
tons to the plan of the Commissioners have been
repeatedly pointed out by The Washington Herald,
and fully score of associations of citizens and
other civic organizations have formally adopted
resolutions opposing the proposed change. If any
organizations have failed so far to record their
views, they should do so by all means before next
Wednesday. Then it will be necessary for eyerv
organization which has taken action to send rep
resentative to present its protest at the hearing
before the subcommittee on education, to be held
in the House District Committee room
This disruption of Washington's educational
SYSTEM that threatens blight upon the schools,
without single good purpose being served, should
not be permitted if the united efforts Of thcciti-
zens OF Washington can prevent it. They should
resist to the floor of the House and Senate if
necessary. However, if they make the weight of
their undivided opinion felt the hearing on We'd
nesday the probability is that the meddesome and
unnecessary legislation that is proposed will not
get beyond the District Committee room,

lsrging the two yards so that they will
be equipped to build the two battle
ships that were authorized by the last
naval appropria tons bill.
Secretary Daniels explained his de-
lay in asking for bids for the ships by
the time that has been taken with eX-
periments with submarine defense. II is
understood that the defense against sub
marines consists largely Of the develop
ment of a new type of hull construction
under the water line. OF course the
naval authorities are keeping these
changes a secret. Eventually some Of the
features OF the new plans will be known,
but 1t is important to keep them con-
fidential as long as possible. II the
other powers could be prevented from
securing any details as to the plans
until the ships are in the process Of con-
struction or completed the American
navy would be year or so i'm advance
of the other powers in inaugurs ting the
new system Of defense against submarine
attack.

California Wants Lane.

The death of Justice Lamar opens place on
the supreme bench for jurist. Already there is
talk OF Franklin X. Lane for the vacancy. His fit
ness is generally acknowledged.
There is something pathetic about young
man being elevated to the supreme bench 1t takes
him away from the activities of the State and
nation IN which vigorous young minds are needed
There is feeling in California that Franklin
Lane is needed in the State house the successor
to Gov. Johnson
Lane is the type of man that can fill the shoes
Of the illustrious Hiram. So far Democrats nor
Progressives have offered man for the place of
the type of Lane.
If he should be nominated by the Democrats
the Progressves could do little else than, indorse
him. Certainly they have in the running
at this time would appeal strongly to the people
as ht successor to Johnson.
We trust that Lane will decline the offer OF
the justceship, if it is made and that he will re-
turn to his people.-Sacramento Star.

Undecoratsd PulImans,

The Railroad Man, which, while not a techni-
cal railway magazine, aims at correctness in tech
nieal matters publishes in its February number
cars. According to this article the Pullman cars
are to lose their principal exterior decoration
the "mirrored Gothic" or ornamental glass over
the windows which has long been used, in vary
ing designs, to impart grace and beauty to the
cars. The introduction of steel cars has unfor-
tunately eliminated all distinction from the de-
sign OF ordinary coaches. Will the public object
box car? Or will the public be entirely .indif-
ferent' 1t has long been rumored that the change
was coming, and, indeed many cars have already
appeared in the new style, but there has been no
positive indication that all standard sleepers and
chair cars were to be denuded of their decoration

BY 4. II. JOHN 5.

The sensation in the hearing before the
House Committee on Military Affairs.
so far as the army goes, was the att-
tltde toward the General STAFF assumed
yesterday by Mai. Gen. Tasker II. Bliss,
assistant chief of the General Staff. His
reference to the General STAFF in con-
nection with the army legislation pro-
gram will raise storm OF protest
throughout the army and before the hear
ngs conclude some of the members of
the General Staff may have something
to say in reply to Gen. Bliss.
While Gen. Bliss admitted that the
program might have received great
strength from the approval of the Cen
eraI Staff he argued that this is not
vital defect in the project. He went
on to say further. that all of the intelli-
Eencc of the army is not embodied in
the General STAFF and that the Secretary
of War and Congress are higher author
tiles than the Board of Army Experts.
Il think that a fair, judicial attitude
of mind" said Gen. Bliss, requires the
conclusion that while a measure may
receive great strength from the indorse-
ment and formal approval of the General
staff body, the fact that such approval
may not have been given is not to be
regarded as an inherent, essential or
vital defect in such project 1t can
not be assumed that all OF the intelli-
senCe of the army is embodied In the
General Staff. 1t would be small
