THE SHAKESPEARE FESTIVAL

The Washington public has already
been notified, through the press, Of
the coming celebration of the
Shakespeare Tercentenary by an all
high school pageant in Rock Creek
Park, May 10, II, and IL, under the
direction of Miss Sarah E. Simons,
head of the English department Of
the Washington high schools.
AS this is the first occasion on
which the various high schools, have
been brought together in activities
representing the artistic and scho-
lastic sides Of school life, it ought
to be of great interest to the friends
and families of the five thousand
girls and boys that comprise the
high school population.
But aside from the parental and
friendly interest in these young peo-
pie as individuals, the event should
be a matter Of civic pride. The resi-
dents of Washington may justly
claim that among the Shakespeare
festivals to be held throughout the
United States during the month OF
May this year, none will have q
fairer setting than ours. The "wood
near Athens" where Shakespeare
fairies danced the moonlit hours

THE MARKET AND THE CRISIS

There was sharp but not very ex-
tensive fall in stock exchange prices
when the Berlin submarine note be-
gan to be received; its earlier para
graphs were in such tone as to sug-
rest a more belligerent conclusion
than was reached. After consider
ing the entire document, the Street
felt better of the affair, and prices
reacted upward.
The measure of this entire huctu-
alton, however, was such as to i'm
press the elemental stability OF in
dustrial conditions. II war comes,
the control Of the seas will be more
secure than now; the available Ship
ping to move our freights will be in
creased. Our place as purveyor OF
war necessaries will be strengthened,
for we shall be needed to supply our
>own extraordinary needs as well as
those of other countries.
Evidently the Street came to this
conclusion, and the price movement
was on the whole unimportant, con-
sidering the great gravity OF the oc-.
casion. The experience shows how
basically sound is the financial posi-
ton, and how commanding the rela-
tionship of this country to the rest
of the economic world.

PROTECT THE DISTRICT
STREAMSi

Every resident of the District and
Of the newly created Washington
suburban sanitary district in Mont
gomery and Prince George counties
should urge the movement for recip-
rocal sewerage arrangements be-
tween the District and Maryland.
Streams flowing into the District
from Maryland have been polluted
by sewage, until present conditions
in Rock Creek and the Anacostia
river are intolerable. Conditions are
sure to grow worse in direct proper
ton to the growth of the Maryland
communities.
The sensible thing to do is to put
the Maryland sewage in the District
sewers instead of in the District
streams. To accomplish it, cooper
alton is essential. The Maryland
legislature did it's share by creating
the Washington suburban sanitary
commission to make sanitary sur
vey on the Maryland side.
The commission is given author
ity to enter into reciprocal sewerage
arrangements with the District au-
thorities.
The House District Committee
now has before it bill to allow the
District to enter into such reciprocal
arrangements. The Maryland sew.
age would be taken care of by the
District sewers, which have beer
built sufficiently large for the pur
pose, and the State of Maryland
would pay its share of the cost o.
handling such sewage at the Distric
pumping station.

Puck played. his pranks upon un-
wary mortals, could not have been
fuller Of the joyousness Of spring
time than the scene placed at our
disposal through the courtesy OF the
Commissioners for our fairy revels.
Neither the forest Of Arden nor the
woods Of Standardization could
have charmed the eye more than the
picture that will greet those who
come to view the youthful actors on
grassy stage carpeted with bluets,
against background Of maple, oak,
beech, and dogwood trees in the full
glory Of fresh foliage.
What could be more ideally edu-
cational for wide-awake boys and
girls, or more delightful for grown
up lovers Of youth and springtime,
than a Shakespeare festival in Rock
Creek Park, in "the merry month Of
May?"

SENATOR O'doRMAN'S RETIRE.
MENT

Senator O'Gorman announces that
he will not seek reelection to his
seat from the Empire State. He has
spent the third of long lifetime on
the bench and in the Senate, and
feels that he must devote some of his
remaining years to private affairs.
That means, of course, to earning
some of the money that is never the
price, but not infrequently is the
prize, of successful public service.
He has represented the Democratic
party in the Senate, and also the
State of New York. That is in it
self a hard thing to do, for New
York doesn't very generally approve
Democratic ideas about running this
Government. 1t goes Democratic &C.
casionally in fits of disgust with the
Republicans, and it is pretty certain
to regret it's course before the man
whom it has selected to attempt its
representation has finished his term
of office.
So, a Democratic Senator from
New York has hard situations II
he gets on we'll with his State, he is
likely to displease the party. If he
keeps the party feeling cheerful, it is
quite certain to be at the sacrifice of
standing at home.
Senator O'Gorman evidently had
understood this before he assumed
his toga, and decided to be Senator
with the view primarily to satisfy
ing himself. It isn't bad rule for
Senator's, or for oher public serv-
ans, albeit sometimes nonconducive
to official longevity. He has been a
real independent; just as enthusiasts
tic about supporting the Administra-
tion-when he agreed with it-as he
has been about opposing it when he
didn't agree. He has measured UP
to the standards of intellect, individ.
uality, industry, and capacity that
Senatorial service for New York lays
down, and one Of the best proofs OF
his success and of his determination
pot to lower his standards is the an
announcement that he will retire.
