A CHANCE TO BOOST WASH
INGTON

Washington citizens should con-
slider it a patriotic as well as a civic
duty to do all in their power for the
artistic development Of the Capital.
Wonderful strides in this direction
have been made within the last ten
years and plans now are formulated
which, if put into effect, will mean
even greater achievements.
Details of these plans will be pre-
sented this evening in a program ar
ranged by the Washington Society Of
Fine Arts at the auditorium of the
new Central High School. 1t should
he attended by every citizen who has
The interests of the city at heart.
Such men as Secretary of War
Baker, Congressman James L. Stay
den Of Texas, chairman of the Lii
brary Committee of the House; Col.
W. W. Harris, Superintendent of Pub
lie Buildings and Grounds, and Com
missioner Oliver P. Newman will be
among the speakers.
These men have done uniformly
good service for the District, and the
meeting this evening affords an OPP
portunity for Washingtonians to
demonstrate their deep interest in
their own city.

A DUBIOUS CURE

As long as the suffrage ladies con-
fine their activities to picketing the
White House, mere man can afford
to pass along with smile. But sup
pose they adopt the tactics suggested
by Evangelist George w. Anderson,
and take their knitting to saloons.
What then?
Is mere man to be traced to his
last lair, his one Happy hunting
ground" which has been reasonably
safe heretofore from feminine inva-
sion? Not long ago q couple of
young women on the hunt for ice
cream sodas violated the privacy Of
an F. street bar by mistake and
near riot almost ensued. %
But what basis has the Rev. Mr..
Anderson for believing that the pres
ence of the women would chase men
away? Could they be kept at their
knitting? Some Of the more adj
vanced members Of the sex have been
heard to rail at the necessity Of buy
ing a chicken sandwich or ordering
celery as a compulsory accompani-
ment, in the wisdom Of our excise
law makers, to a cocktail or a high
ball. In fact the indications in
Washington point to a different con-
clusion from that of Mr.. Anderson.
He believes the knitting visitors
would result in emptying. the
saloons of men. Such has not been
the experience in England. There in
the cafes where women go for bev-
erages other than matted milk and
lemon phosphates it has been neces-
sary to exclude men unaccompanied
by women.
Reformers frequently need an adj
to beware lest their RENE
dies be worse than the disease they
seek to cure.

BRYAN AND PROHIBITION

Mr.. Bryan is pushing his prohibi-
ton propaganda with rather more
than his accustomed vigor. The last
number of his Commoner is full of
suggestions as to how the campaign
can be pressed so as to make it most
effective. In a note to his readers,
printed in black type, he asks that
they send to his Office at once "the
names and addresses of all Demo-
cratic and Independent voters who
you believe will assist Mr.. Bryan in
driving the liquor interests out Of
the nation"
Clubs are being formed all over
the country to extend the circulation
of the Commoner so that Mr.. Bryan
may have "a wider circle Of readers
in his effort to drive the liquor inter-
ests out of the Democratic party and
out of the nation" In one Of the
eleven signed editorial articles in the
same number of his paper Mr.. Bryan
declares: "The saloon is dead-the
sooner it is buried by the adoption Of
a national amendment the better"
So much interested is the Commoner
in the work Of driving out the
saloons that it offers to subscribe
800 to a fund to keep a big, white
flag flying from a tall flag pole at
some conspicuous place in Washing
ton until the victory is won. For the
next four years Mr.. Bryan will keep
this sort Of thing going and the pub
lie cannot escape.
Some of those who attribute ul-
terror selfish, purposes to him are
now saying that he is looking to the
in 1920, not as the candi-
late of the Prohibition party as such
but as the candidate Of the Prohibi-
tionists Of all the parties.

HIGH SCHOOL CADETS

The High School Cadets have be-
come an institution in Washington.
They have furnished model for SIM
liar organizations in other cities. A
week seldom passes, school officials
say, when inquiries are not received
about details of their work.
Greatest impetus was given to the
broadening of the cadet work by
Lieut.. E. 2. Steever last winter,
hen he applied to the Washington
'det body many of the Innovations
had worked out on a Statewide
isis in Wyoming. These included
ore open order drill, instruction of
fcers in military tactics through
ne use of war games with the Get
ysburg map, and more attention to
he physical exercises which make
for bodily vigor.
The movement to introduce the
tudy Of hygiene and sanitation in
The regiments course is another de-
elopment which tends to make the
-ork valuable enough to do what
chool officials long have urged, ac-
editing cadet service to the rating
f those pupils who belong. The eff
.ort of the music department to in
stall q cadet band, would further
broaden the benefits Of cadet train
ing.

MARKET FOR HORSE MEAT

A butcher in New York has opened
what he calls Americas first horse
meat packing house" away uptown
on the East Side, and reports that
he sold 1900 pounds last week. On
he 18th of last June. the anniver-
airy of the battle Of Fort Moultrie,

equations controlling the slaughter
# horses for food and sale-they
must be inspected before they are
tiled in building used for no other
purpose, and after they are slaugh-
tered the meat must be inspected be-
fore it is put on sale.
The proprietor of the first market
ing place for the product came to the
United States from Switzerland
where he had been engaged in the
business. The demand for the meat
is said to be good, customers coming
all the way from Hoboken to buy it,
and the. health department "made

Every beast that bears q name:

Rows of cruel. hungry eyes.
Through the gloom that lay behind
Reared a devastating wind:
Now and then the lightning spark

Showing storms that flood or freeze,
Jagged rocks, and savage seas.

SOME PLAIN TALK

Major General Leonard Wood did
not mince words before a Senate
subcommittee which is inquiring into
the subject of universal military
training. Some of his remarks were:
By supreme effort in six
months time we got $4,000 men
to the border. The country could
have been eaten up by an efficient
enemy in that time.
] would go after the War De-
partment with a sandbag and re-
organize It.

TO q real war we would have had
TO do that Gcreate a department
of munftionsl; create a commits
sion with some live, energetic
business men upon it
We would have had to shake
the cobwebs out of the supply de-
psrtment and get some punch
into it: convert it from a wheel
less vehicle to something that
would run.
These remarks are worth consider
ing on their face value as the testi-
inony of an expert. But what is
most impressive is that General
Wood was permitted to make them
-s'ithout putting himself in jeopardy
If reprimand. Not so long ago
such frank utterances would not
have been countenanced.
If they had come from a naval
officer, in fact, how would they be
received, even today?

Seeking Real Art.

An Italian artist in Rome was en-
gagged to make certain symbolic ng-
ures for the base of the monument,
put when. they were delivered and
half erected the artistic sense OF the
founders revolted and they were re-
jected. other figures OF exquisite
beauty were obtained. and at last the
monument was builded. and stands
today as one OF the noblest memorials
in the land. The women had raised
enough money to do it all and to pay
for It when it was done. At the dedi-
cation of the monument. over thirty
years ago, Associate Justice Lamar,
OF the United States Supreme Court,
delivered the GRAFTON which is richly
entitled TO a place among the Ameri-

MILITIA MAY STAY

War Department May Also Call
Back Guardsmen Who Were

In the event OF break between the

OF the War Department anticipate
that Immediate steps VIII be taken to
hold under the Federal service for an
indefinite period the national guard
organizations now on the border, and
that arrangements would be made for
the possible calling back to the colors
OF those that have been mustered out.
Not that the War Department be-
lieves that the national guard, or any
considerable proportion. IL any. of the
regulars would be sent to Europe. Il
Is thought that even In the event Of
war between the two countries, the
United States, as far as the participa-
tion Of the army 10 concerned. would
be much in the position Of Japan.
Large Fsree Needed.
But 1t IL realized that very definite
measures would probably have to be
taken to keep strong force under
arms IL only for the. moral effect
which such a course would hsxs in
preventing possible outbreaks here.
ALSO the War Department has al
ready prepared. ready for introduc-
tion in Congress at any time, a bill
providing for q drastic censorship
that would not only cover all news
sent out from Washington and other
centers OF military and naval infor-
nation, but would extend over the
