Sunday Night Attack.

The coast of Scotland and the north.
land were attacked by Zeppelins Sun
day night, according to an official an
nouncement by the secretary Of war.
The announcement says:
"a Zeppelin raid took place Sunday
night, when the coast of Scotland and
the northern and southeastern coun-
ties of England were attacked.
Bombs were dropped at various
places. No details are available"
XIII is Saturday Night.
At least 16 persons were killed and
about 100 others injured by the ex-
plosion of bombs dropped by Zeppe-
Inns over the northeast coast of Eng
land Saturday night. The official YER
sion Of this raid says:
1.-TWO airships approached the north
east coast Saturday night. Only one
crossed the coast. The other turned
back.
"For the present we know that 16
persons were killed and about 100 in
jured.
Eight dwelling houses were demol-
ished and serious fire was caused
in a French polishing shop"
Raiders Brought Down.
AS some compensation for this sac
rifice of life, however, the British
public finds satisfaction in practical
proof afforded of great improvement
in the defensive methods dealing with
aerial incursion. For the first time
since the inception Of this method of
warfare on the British coast, not only
has one raiding Zeppelin been brought
down, and it's crew taken prisoners,
but the official report recounts an ex-
citing aerial fight between Zeppelin
and British airman, Lieuptenant
Brandon, who, mounting to height
of 5000 feet, flew over the raider Fri
day night and dropped several bombs
on it with effect.
L The machine of Lieutenant Brandon
was hit several times by machine gun
bullets from the Zeppelin.

schOOl-are placed in charge of the
very youngest children.
Do you not believe that a married
woman who has herself borne and
raised a child is more fitted to direct
the first steps in the training Of a
child's mind?
In most cities a policeman receives
nearly twice as much salary as a
woman school teacher.
So while we boast Of our AmeTi-
can school system we admit, by this
determination of wages, that we pay
only HALF as much to the individual
who TRAINS our coming citizens as
we do to the MAN who arrests those
who transgress laws.
A school teacher must possess
training, tact, judgment, mental
stamina, physical endurance, moral
courage, patience, psychological tai
ent and hope!
A policeman only need be muscu-
lar and stay sober!

TEACHER IoR POLICEMAN
In many Of the larger eastern cities,
definite steps will be taken this sum-
mer to remedy these defects in our
American public school system:
The discrimination against mar
ried women teachers (almost uni
VersaD.
The employment of women teach
ers in grammar and high schools to
a greater extent than men.
The low wages paid to teachers,
especially those in the primary de-
partments.
We have long been proud of our
public school system in this country.
The highest virtue of this system is
that it provides FREE education for
al classes, and that education is
COMPULSORY.
But after this has been duly con-
sidered, there are many high spots
in our schools at>fairly glitter with
defects.
The charge, frequently made, that
our boys are influenced by efiem-
macy is true, but we cannot en-
ploy men teachers at the wage now
paid to women.
Why, for instance, . do many
school trustees and directors bar
married women teachers?
THEY SAY because unmarried
women must support themselves and
should be given the chance, This
reasoning is that the job Of teach
ing is a matter of employment for

tho influence of heat pressure. into the
heat stacks, and there rise to the school
rooms. Every dwelling house has its
difficulty if the furnaces are not kept
in good repair or carefully handled. 1t is
true that some coal makes more gas than
others, and the bad coal now supplied to
the schools makes most of all, but if the
furnace is perfect even the easiest coal
will not faint the atmosphere. Many of
the school buildings of this city are old
and the equipment is doubtless not in
first t-class condition. A thorough exami-
nation would doubtless disclose many
furnaces that in the interest of the
children's health should be discarded.
Repair economies have been practiced
heretofore until large arrears has been
accumulated. In considering this mat
ter the board of education and the Com
missioners should bear in mind the need
Of giving the schools better grade OF
fuel. of repairing at once all cracked or
decrepit furnaces and eventually OF
abandoning all the old style hot-air fur
naces for system of steam or hot
water heating that will offer no possible
chance of gas emissions.

Street Car Ventilation.

At this time of year it is highly es-
sential that ventilation in the street
ears should be perfect There is much
latent disease riding around Washing
ton in these public conveyances, and if
the ventilation is not good in the cars
pulmonary affections are spread widely
by this means. The new type of car,
called the center entrance ear, is es-
pecially conducive to this process, for
its front is kept almost hermetically
sealed, and with the windows closed to
to whom fresh cold air is abhorrent, the
ventilation depends upon holes in the
roof. A system of fans is supposed to
be in operation to keep the air in mo-
tion by drawing it through these holes,
but judging from the conditions that
prevail in many of the ears the system
is seldom in operation. During the re
cent cold snap the air in some of the
street cars in this city was tainted be
yond endurance. The public utilities
commission should interest itself in this
matter and establish rules that can be
enforced to insure the proper ventila-
tion of the ears under all conditions, so
that the public health will not be en-
dangered by the lack of fresh air. This
should not be left to the thoughtfulness
or the Judgment of the ear conductors,
but should be under such systematic
supervision that every car rider can be
assured of measure of clean air when
he mounts the step.

an established policy. Our opponents
would not undertake to present to the
voters of the country the issue Of free
trade. A protective tariff is essential to
the interests of our wage earners, in
that it makes possible the payment of
wages on the scale to which we are ac-
customed in this country and thus main
tains our American standards Of living,
Hence the difference in the cost Of pro-
duction here and abroad is the funda-
mental consideration"
Has the policy of protection been bet
ter stated in the same space by any
bodys Can there be any doubt about
what sort of revision of the Underwood
law President Hughes would recon-
mend to Congress-
On the financial question he is equally
sound. No shade of Bryanism has ever
found favor with him.
This bull moose critic and others
need to be reminded that the best re-
publican speech in the presidential cam
paign of 1908 was made by Charles e.
Hughes. Such was the compliment paid
to the speech delivered by him at
Youngstown. Ohio. opening the contest
for Mr.. Taft. It covered all the points
then in controversy between the two
parties, and in substance was repeated
elsewhere. Mr.. Taft made his acknowl
edgments at the time, and praise was
spoken by many others.
The republicans may not so to the
Supreme bench for their candidate. They
have fine field to choose from. But if
they do go there the man chosen will
by no means be an unknown quantity in
politics. When in politics he was not
only we'll but most favorably known
for ability, firmness and decision, and
showed himself equal to the demands
of an executive post-the governorship
of New York-which, at times, makes
exactions almost as heavy as does the
presidency of the United States.

Coal Gas and Schools.

1t is to be doubted if the bad air
in the public schools is wholly due to
the kind Of fuel used in the heating
apparatus. It is likely that tho taint
Of coal gas in tho atmosphere is largely
attributable to furnace deficiencies,
though unquestionably the coal now b.
ing supplied to the schools 10 Of very
poor quality, being little better than
"culm,' and adds seriously to the
bad condition. Coal gas will form
in the burning of anthracite as
we'll as bituminous fuel, and in

in the smokestack and does not reach the

is old and not well handled the gss will

New York at Chicago.

In refusing to instruct their "big
four" to the Chicago convention the
New York republicans played excellent
politics. 1t was the thing to do. Mr..
Root, in whose behalf instructions were
sought, did not desire instructions; and
his judgment was better than that of
his supporters. His judgment on mat
tiers in general is good, as a rule. Which
and the influence he exercises.
New York at Chicago will occupy a
conspicuous place. % In prudent cal
eulations, she is indispensable to re-
publican success at the polls; (2) four
of her sons-Mr Root, Mr.. Wadsworth,
Gov. Whitman and Justice Hughes-are
mentioned in all gossip about the presi-
dental nomination, while fifth SON
Mr.. Roosevelt-holds attention as the
object of outside maneuvering intended
to stampede the convention and install
bull moosery. What New York says and
does at the convention, therefore, will be
carefully noted and appraised by the
delegates from all of her sister states.
While keenly desirous Of securing the
nomination for son Of the state, the
New York republicans are much more
desirous of winning the election. They
are very much interested in the tariff.
Nau, vorL o,n;&ol IN opor,,o,,e o,,ouofe
is invested in industrial plants at home,
while large sums are employed in plants
in other states. Naturally sentiment
favors protection. A policy which when
intelligently applied in the past Injured
so much to the prosperity Of both state
and nation is desired again.
As to preparedness, to no state is that
policy more important. Her great
wealth, her great metropolis, her great
port, would strongly attract any for
eign foe powerful enough to attempt in
vasion. She would be rich prize; and
any foe securing a foothold there could
operate successfully over wide e1-
panse of contiguous territory.
There are other reasons why the
republicans Of the Empire state should
proceed with caution, now and later.
They will meet at Chicago brethren
from far and near who, like them
selves, will want to win at the polls,
and will recognize the necessity of
real conference as to both candidate
and platform.
If the "big four" selected are sup
ported by district delegates of equal
grade, New York at Chicago should lack
for nothing necessary to an influential
participation in the vital business of
the convention. Both Senator Wads-
worth and Gov. Whitman are in Office
by large majorities obtained but little
more than year ago, while Frederick
c. Tanner is the man who az campaign
manager steered them to victory.

A prominent bull mooser, bent upon
diseouraging the talk about Justice
Hughes, asserted that the country knew
nothing as to his political views, and
hence the republicans would make a
great mistake in nominating him.
Where did he stand ON the leading
issues of the day! Where, particularly,
on the very important issue Of the
tariff!
Unfortunately for this man, who
wants the republicans to nominate Mr..
Roosevelt. he did not know, or had for
gotten, that while in politics Charles
Z. Hughes was in request as speaker,
