Washington already is paying the
equivalent Of teachers pensions in
the salaries Of these superannuated
teachers. But il is not getting the
benefit that would accrue from q
proper retirement provision.
Assume there are fifty teachers
too old properly to perform their
work. That means 1900 school chill
dren annually deprived Of compe-
tent teaching. Many Of these teach
ers are principals, whose presence
means keeping out younger instruc-
tors with more initiative and vigor
from positions where they would be
most useful.
These older teachers have per-
formed more work in the past than
they were paid for. It is not char
ity to retire them with pensions. 1t
is simple justice to them; likewise
justice to the school pupils.

PLAN FOR FOREIGNERS
TOATTEND SCHOOL
Southwest Citizens viii Try to
Get Them to Attend Citizen
ship Classes.

Every effort will be made by members
Of the Southwest Washington Citizens
Association to bring the foreigners OF
the community to the citizenship class
In the Jefferson School. It was decided
at the meeting last night.
Miss J. Classic, chairman OF the COM
mittee Of foreign education OF the d. A..
r., spoke OF the organizations Cooper
ating foT the purpose.
The rate of taxation in the neighbor-
hood was condemned as being unjust.
II was stated that the rate Of taxation
In the southwest section OF the city
was higher, than In the more desirable
residential sections in the northwest.
II was proposed that individual tax
payers protest against the overassess-
ment.
The alleged irregularity OF the car
service to the southwest section was
discussed and the matter was referred
to a committee. A movement to have a
shelter erected for passengers waiting
forcars at Seventh street and Pennsyl-
yania avenue was discussed.
The condition OF the paving In Vir-
Rinia avenue, between Eleventh and
twelfth streets, was condemned as de-
pdorabie. 1t Is alleged that water coll
iectinK there makes the street unhealth-
fuI in summeE and dangerous In win
ter, when II is covered with Ice.

FORCING EN- TO DEBATE

A Western State legislator pro.
poses that no Presidential candi.
dates name shall hereafter be
placed on the official ballot, unless he
comes into the State and conducts q
joint debate with his opponent. The
scheme is interesting, il not seem
ingly altogether practical. Forty.
eight States making such require
ments would, we Judge, make IL
necessary for each duo Of candidates
to debate. The Socialist candidate
would have to debate with the Pro
hibition, Republican, Labor, and So
cial-Democratic candidate; the Re
publican would be compelled to meet
all four, say, Of the others; and SC
on. Such series Of debates in each
State, multiplied by the number Of
States, would make a Presidential
campaign about 5O0-reel show.
Again, in a State that was pretty
certain to go for one party, the can.
didate Of the opposite party would
have little reason to appear and de-
bate; so there would be no debates
and no names would 20 on the ticket
1t doesn't seem altogether a feasible
project, on examination; but the sea.
son is here for freak legislation, and
the crop promises to be excellent.

THE SCHOOLS AND TEACHERS
PENSIONS

Every citizens association, every
civic organization, every club and
society of any sort, which sincerely
desires to do something for the good
Of Washington's public schools,
faces a golden opportunity. They
should back up the fifteen teachers
associations which are demanding
passage of a teachers retirement
bill.
Definite announcement has been
made by the president Of the Board
Of Education that a considerable
number of Washington school teach
ers face dismissal at the end of this
year, pensions or no pensions. When
that happens there will be a big
hue and cry about the boards in
humanity to its employees. Yet these
teachers already have been carried
on the payrolls from year to year, in
the hope of retirement legislation
though they ought to have been per:
mitted to retire years ago.
Eight Washington school teachers
are seventy years or more old
Fifty-fve are more than sixty-twC
years old, the age of retirement sci
in the proposed bill.

NOT A TRUSTWORTHY VIEW

The annual convention Of railway
commissioners never fails to sound
a clarion call to defense Of the forty
eight little commissions whose con-
flicting jurisdictions make real su-
pervision of the railroads impossible,
This year the cry of "help US, OF
we perish" is merely more an
gushed than usual, because the senti-
ment in favor of unified, exclusive
Federal control has gained ground
so fast.
Naturally enough, the State COM
missioners don't want to be chucked
out Of their jobs. But we should
like to see a canvass of ex-State
railroad commissioners opinion,
They view the subject with less
prejudice, after they are out of Of
flee.
Recently Col. David J. Palmer, af-
ter serving on the Iowa railroad
commission a longer time than any
other man ever did, declsred-hav-
ing retired!-that the State COM
missions ought to be abolished and
Federal authority given exclusive
supervision Of railroads. He guessed,
too, that most of the ex-commission-
ers would feel the same way, save
perhaps those in the South.
There are some former State COM
missioners on the present Interstate
Commerce Commission; it would be
interesting to know how they all
feel.
Opinions Of the little commission.
ers whose jobs are in the balance
are sadly discounted in advance
when they are SO painfully unani-
nous. If they could agree half SC
we'll on some one other subject il
would reduce most auspiciously the
conflicts which make real regulation
about impossible at present.

THE DEMOCRATIC JUBILEE

Our Democratic friends are en-
titled to their jubilation, which is
to come off tonight regardless of
weather or delayed aclnawledg-
ments from the Republican candi-
date. 1t is promised that there will
be such an outpouring of Washing
ton citizenry in honor Of President
Wilson, as has never been known on
like occasion. Il would be highly
gratifying to Democrats Of the Cap
ital, of course, II the opposition lead
ership might concede the result and
extend congratulations to the win
ner, whose success seems to be be-
yond the realm of reasonable uncer.
tainty. ~
Washington will tonight have op-
portunity to honor itself in doing
honor to the head of the nation. II
has every reason to lay partisanship
aside, for partisanship is q most In
significant force here. A town that
has no vote and no parties, can
surely afford to make the most of it's
opportunities on such an occasion.
So long as this town is denied all
political entity, it may most prop,
erly make the most of its station as
municipal host to the National Gov
eminent. and Of the fact that, no
matter who or what party holds the
reins of authority, that authority
must be welded from this city as
the National Capital.
On the occasion of Washington's
tribute and acknowledgment, The
Times, though it did not support
him, desires to extend its very sin.
!cere Fluctuations and congratula-
tions to President Wilson, and its
wishes for an Administration that
shall be as successful as both he and
the nation could wish il to be.

Numerous others are packing their
trunks. and will soon be en- route BY
next week large numbers of Democratic
staesment will be on the ground. and
the President will be pulled and hauled
for this appointment and that, ranging
from judges to marshals.
No one knows yet whether the resi-
dent Is going to make appointments at
the behest of the organizations in rhe
States, now that he is reelected, or
whether he will pursue a more indie
pendent course. But a lot OF aspirants
and their Congressional supporters
would like TO know.

apparently, in the whole United King
dom voiced criticism OF the plans an
nounced in Parliament yesterday by
Walter Runciman, contemplating con-
servatIon of England's food supply.
The only criticisms heard were that the
governmental control had been over
long delayed and that the preliminary
plans, as anounced. were insufficiently
sweeping or, drastic.
Details Not Given.
II is known, however that Runci-
mans announcement was purely pre-
liminary and that he did not reveal all
the steps of control which the govern
ment has determined upon. The food

ally Ioutdo even the thoroughness OF
the German system.
The British people are fully prepared

1t was accepted here that the first
activities OF the new dictatorship would
have to do with limitation on the use

eliminate feeding to animals OF vegeta-
bles suitable for human consumption.
and of wasteful use of white -four and
potatoes.
Prices Up IS Per Cent.
Retail food prices, according to semi
official statistics available today, show
that in a year there has been an in
crease of about "a per cent. Prices are
now about rs per cent higher than they
were prior to the war. But on such
staples as eggs, potatoes, fish, and
sugar the prices have nearly doubled,

THE RICHES OF THE ARCTIC

It is only within few years that
Alaska has come to be regarded in
its right light, as an arctic store
house of immense wealth. Still
more recently, the possibility that
the polar regions in general may be
found rich in natural resources has
come to interest biologists and other
people with imaginations. Our
knowledge Of Alaska and of Spitz-
bergen has made it very clear that
in the geologic era when the coal
measures were being formed, the
Far North was especially favored of
nature. The worlds tropics are prac-
tically without coal, so far as known.
The far northern ATTITUDES have
much of it; how much is as yet only
to be conjectured.
Many students of polar geology
have insisted that the antarctic con-
tinent is in all probability underlaid
by great quantities Of coal, and prob
ably contains also large reserves of
petroleum. The very existence of
an antarctic continent was mere
speculation a decade ago. Now,
thanks to very recent exploration,
we know that it exists, that it has q
very wide extent, that it contains
mountains as high as our own
Rockies, and that there is excellent
reason to believe that under its in
hospitable surface are vast stores of
wealth, waiting for the pressure of
necessity upon mankind to compel
methods of opening them.
Another contribution to the sum
Of general information about polar
wealth comes from Christian Leden,
a Norwegian explorer who has spent
a long time in the extreme arctic
sections of northwest Canada, be-
yond Hudson bay. He comes back
with the announcement that through
natives he learned Of the existence
Of extensive gold deposits and great
oil fields. Natives told him of the
deposits, and he found one with a
gold-tipped harpoon; another fash
Toned little nuggets of the yellow
stuff into bullets for his gun.
A generation ago, men would have
recoiled from the idea that the Klon-
dixie gold fields, even if they existed
would ever be, developed. The very
possibility of carrying civilization
into such a country, building cities
creating industries, operating mines
would have been doubted. But the
thing has been done; now we arr
looking to Alaska as a country that
ere long will not only produce meta
and mineral wealth, but will make
itself agriculturally self-supporting

THE WORLD FACES A FOOD
CRISIS

A little over two years Of war
Of universal destruction has brought
nearly the whole world in sight of a
famine. That is the long and short
Of it. AS if by prearrangement, the
subject was yesterday taken up by
the government leaders in London,
Paris, and Petrograd. There was
frank admission that the situation is
very serious in England. The Ger
man program of food dictatorship
seems clearly indicated for both
France and England. Even in the
Russian Duma it was demanded by
the budget committee that rigid
domination of food supplies, distri-
button, and prices be taken over by
the government.
1t means, of course, that the Brit
ish blockade of Germany and the
German submarine campaign are
producing the results that from the
beginning were inevitable provided
modern instruments of destruction
should prove so effective as their
creators intended. The submarine
campaign has been by no means a
failure, despite the long insistence
of the allies to the contrary. 1t is
maintained at fearful cost to Ger
many, but it has inflicted correspond
ing losses On Germany's enemies. A
season of short crops almost all over
the world has added to the difficult
ties of the position.
With the prospect for an early
end of the war as uninviting as it
has been at any time since the bat
tie of the Marine, the world Of neu-
trails and belligerents alike is called
upon to ask itself, frankly and hon
estly, whether Notwithstanding
civilization can stand the strain Of
this systematic, worldwide effort at
its own assassination. The British
and French hoped to starve Ger
many into submission by making
their blockade so tight that it could
not be evaded. The Germans un.
dertook to carry on such q reckless
destruction of shipping that Their
enemies would be unable to stand
the losses. Neither side has accom-,
plished its full purpose; each has &C
complished much. There is no over
whelming advantage either way
they are wearing each other out
wearing out the worlds power tC
feed itself, cloth itself, keep the ma
chinery of society moving. That il
the plain truth. Our own country
greatest and richest of neutrals, suf
fers with the belligerents, as is in
evitable in world so closely knitted
into a big neighborhood.
Mr.. Runciman, chairman Of the
board Of trade, told the Commons
that retail prices Of foods in Britain
have in a year increased ~ per cent
since the war started they have in
creased rs per cent. The figure fol
