A Victory for the Citizens.

The rejection yesterday by the House Commit
tee on the District OF Columbia Of the recommen-
dstons OF the District Commissioners that they be
given absolute control OF the public school system
and the Public Library proclaimed complete VIC
tory for the citizens of Washington united in their
resistance to attempt to impair if not DESTROY
the present efficient administration of municipal
affairs in which they vitally concerned Though
the District Committee could scarcely have taken
any other action, in view of the many sound rea-
sons offered by the citizens against the proposed
change in the educational system, and the failure
OF the Commis issioncrs to show that their plans
offered single benefit to counterbalancc the in
jury which they threatened the result does convey
a valuable lesson to the citizens Of Washington in
what may be accomplished by united appeal to
Congress for a just This one signal success
must not be forgotten in the future.
The recommendations which have been rejected
should have been made by the Commissions
rs at all; it is inconcevable that they would have
been made if the Commissioners had taken the
very little trouble that would have been necessary
to discover that they were in opposition to the
wishes of fully 90 per cent of the citizens they are
supposed to serve. Leaving the wishes of the peo-
pie out OF consideration, they were unable to
justify their proposal upon any grounds Their
illogical position in asking for complete authority
schools and library was illustrated again ves
terday when Commissioner Newman argued that
the administration of the board of trustees of the
library as less effective than if it had less detail
OF administration to attend to- and had more time
to formulate policies" And yet the Commission
ers, with the entire burden of the District govern
ment on their hands, asking that the details
of the library and school system be passed over
to them So it would appear that the present Board
of Commissioners should also learn a lesson from
the action of the District Committee
The Herald, as the newspaper to first call at
enton to the danger threatening the public schools
in the Commissioner recommendation and tn
persistently urge united resistance, congratulatcs
the citizens in the success of their efforts and tbe
present efficient Board of Education that the re-
suits of their publcspirited service are not to b.
overthrown.

A Military Funeral.

Fort Myer is at the entrance of the National
Cemetery at Arlington and troops of the garrison
act escort at military funerals Once seen, the,
solemn ceremony is quite forgotten. r
CHANGED to " at the garrison few weeks ago
when the burial OF a brigadier general took place
with full military honors. When the funeral cor
tege entered the military reservation cannon
doomed out solemn announcement of the ap-
proach. Distant strains of grand drge came
family up from the valley below and ming gled with
the salute fired by the battery at stated intervals
Nearer and nearer it came, until down the broad
avenue under trees brilliant in autumn foliage the
funeral cortege broke into view. 1t was led by
the mounted band and hundreds of cavalry and ar
tillerymen on hnely caparisoned horses At the
gate OF the cemetery halt was made and the
great military escort spread out into a semcircle
In the background was the of cannon from
which the salute had been fired the smoke still
rising in soft curling clouds The band PLAYED an
impressive military dirge The glitterine tips of
400 sabers pointed skyward in the sunlight as the
cavalry stood at attention, man and horse alike
immovable, while the caisson bearing the flag
draped casket passed through the gates of Airing
ton, preceded by platoon from the garrison
which was to hre the last volley. The simple COM
initial service became at once dramatic At the
close three volleys were fred over the grave; the
clear notes of bugle sounded TAPS" Then fol-
lowed moment of stiffness that was impressyely
profound, and the solemn ceremony was ended.
But there are no somber trappings of woe in
military funeral. In heir place is glitter of
gold lace and brilliant uniform; the flash of saber
and sound of martial music And the Stars and
Stripes blot out the gloom and give patriotic
splendor to the scene.-"Training the Trooper"

Election Of District Delegates.

Within few weeks all OF those dsfran-
chised citizens of the United States residing in the
District of Columbia who so desire may exercise
their quadrennial privilege of voting for delegates
to the Republican and Democratic national con-
ventions. Having no voice in the election they
may yet express. through their representatives at
Chicago and St. Louis, their preference in the Sc
lection of the two men, of whom one is to occupy
the White House for four years beginning March
4, 1917
1t must be reluctantly admitted that seldom in
the past have the people of Washington had rea-
SON to be proud of the manner in which election
of these delegates has been conducted. The two
contests have rarely been separated on strict party
lines. The Democrats have gone to the polls to
further the ambition of some Republican friend in
a close race and Republicans have returned the
compliment to assist some deserving Democrat as
piring to fame and honor as a convention dele
gate. The ballot boxes have not as a rule, been
ht objects for deep scrutiny. This is not it
should be in the Capital of the United States, as
even those chiefly responsible will admit. There
is growing sentiment in favor of suffrage for the
District Of Columbia, and it is safe to say that it
would be wider spread and stronger and the pros
poets of its being achieved much more encourag-
ing today but for the deservedly unfavorable i'm
preston created every four years by these farccal
convention contests.
The time is very near at hand when the Re-
publicans are to elect two and the Democrats six
convention delegates, and there is no reason why
the contests should not be fair and we'll ordered
so that the men chosen may be regarded as truly
and worthily representing the members of their
as the representatives of system of petty and
ridiculous political wire pulling and trickcry that
is without reason or apology.
The two national committeeman for the Dis
trict-Mr. Chaplin Brown, Republican, and Mr.
John F. Costello, Dcmocrat-are strong and able
men, and responsible and respected citizens. The
proper conduct of the approaching election is pri-
mary in their hands, since they will appoint the
committees to arrange the details of the election
With proper consideration and with assurances of
firm support and cooperation they should be able
to induce men OF the same type themselves to
serve these committees, and with such organ
ization the most important step toward fair and
creditable election contest will have been taken
There are plenty of public-spirted citizens here
who would give their services and who could be
depended upon to curb the operations of the ee-
mcnt which prefers the old order of things.
The present is too early for Messrs
Brown and Costello to begin their preparations
and it will be gratifying if their first announce
ment is assurance Of an election to be so con-
Quoted to encourage every citizen of Washing
ton with patriotic convictions to go to the polls
and cast his ballot for the he believes will
creditably represent him at the convention of the
party of his choice.

the Secretary OF the Navy was author
lied TO use his discretion In the matter
and allowing him to reduce the require
ment to twenty knots il he thought IL sd
visable.
Considerable experimenting has been
done by the Navy Department with
view to increasing the speed Of subma-
rines. II was found il would be neces-
sary to obtain a steam engine. as there
was not enough power developed by the
Diesel oil engine. This would bring up
the question OF Il cutoff for the smoke
stack and some method of closing the
holes. The time IN which these large
boats could be constructed would neCes-
ss rily be increased over the smaller type.
1t has therefore been decided 10 abandon
the faster ship and return 10 the twenty
knot submarine with the Diesel INTERNAL
combustion engine

announcement to the House Naval Affairs
hers expressed approval Of the Contem-
plated action. 1t developed that the suC-
gestiOn Of twenty-five knots speed oriEi-

condition should have been attached to
