WAsHINGTON's VOICE
IN WASHINGTON'S AFFAIRS
(Washington Times \


People who are in favor OF a drv

is so important that it should not be
leapordized even in order to give the
local community a chance to express
lts sentiments Of the subject. will. in
the opinion of the Times. do an in
Justice to the community and TO the
cause OF popular government here. II
II Is lair that Congress, representing
home sentiments which have no rela-
tions to Washington problems, actu-
ated largely by political considera-
lions foreign to the Capital, may fair
ly impose a rule upon this community
without listening 10 the expression OF
Washington opinion, then the same
procedure must be equally fair in any
other case. IF Washington shall dem
onstrate that a considerable and high
ly respectable proportion of its peo.
pie actually fear to assume voice in
their government, then there is nc ar
gument for local participation in other
governmental affairs
From the standpoint of the prohibi-
tionists, II would be better business to
have the saloon abolished with the
acquiescence OF the community, than
to have Congress alone take the ac-
tion. Their cause would be strength
ened with future Congresses If there
had been a referendum which in
dCrsed the dry law; while on the
other hand. If it were defeated, there
would be always the chance to fight
again another day
Washington is entitled to mart in
determining the great questions of
local policy. A referendum on one
question would be an opening wedge
in the direction of wider participation
in government. Il would establish a
precedent of the utmost value. The
beginning would have been made
toward representation Of the District
in Congress. and toward some meas
ure of popular partnership in the
great affair Of building a nations and
a worlds city here That is a con-
summation not ever to be attained
rightly under the present system. AS
we'll graft a rule of Prussian landed
military aristocracy on Switzerland
as to try. here in the midst of demo
cratic America, to create a tru'
American Capital under the institu
tions Of a royal duchy. The thing i

DELAW Ware CITY ORDERS

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL
DELAWARE CITY, Del, Jan. 3O.-A
special meeting Of the fire company was
held last night at which it was decided
to purchase a gasoline pumping engine.
II. C. Price, chairman of the finance
committee. recommended the purchase Of
a Watrous pumping engine at cost Of
1920. The equipment committee has
been in touch with the owners of the en-
CINE. Continuing his report, he said that
5000 is available from the cOmpany's
treasury now.
He then recommended blocking out the
town and securing subscriptions. The
remainder will be secured by a note.
The report was adopted. Five dis
tricts were mapped out and those in
charge Of each district ore: First, below
Front street, Charles Tugend and John
R. Bittle; second, between Front and
Second streets, Thomas j. Sadler and
Samuel Bright; third, between Second
and Third streets, William Ball and
Howard Holiday; fourth, beyond Third

The enabling act gives to the Secretary Of Agricul-

W. Nelson, chief Of the Biological Survey. who will
be in direct charge Of its enforcement said the treaty
will take the place Of the Federal migratory bird law
under consideration by the Supreme Court and
will be more effective than that law.
The latter inadequate, DR.. Nelson says largely
for lack OF sufficient appropriation means for its
enforcement Only $4,000 has been appropriated an

alone spends 100000 for game protection and Penn

Der Of States spending game protection within
their respective boundaries than the amount Congress
allotted for national enforcement OF game measures

INCONsIsTENT, AS USUAL.


Advocates of local option contend
that the people of each community
shall determine for themselves
whether liquor shall be lawfully dis
pensed. Home rule" is another term
that is applied TO local option. But
the local optionists don't really mean
what they are saying.
When a proposition came before the
United States Senate to permit the
people of washington to say whether
the District of Columbia should be
dry, forty-three temperance Senators
voted against it. The peOpe of Wash
ington we're denied the right Of home
rule. They are not to have a word in
the determination of the liquor Ques-
ton.
But Senators who are non-resi-
dents, who have no common interest
with the people of Washington, have
assumed to say for that great popu-
lation whether they shall have liquor.
II makes no difference what the peo-
pie may think. They are not pre-
sumed to think when they have such
ponderons intellects thinking for
them.
II majority OF United States Sen
ators had opposed the elimination Of
the saloon from Washington local op'
tionists would have insisted that the
matter be left with the people. But
when the Senate is favorable the poo
pie are not taken into consideration.
Temperance people are notoriously
Inconsistent, but never more so than
in their treatment Of the people OF the
nations Capital.

very best by getting some canthroN

SCHOOL SUPERINTENDENTS AND THEIR PAY.
r.R CHARLES A. WAGNER State Commissioner Of

nest appeal for justice for three County superin
tondents Of Schools in the matter Of salaries Feeling,
as we do that the superntendents have not been
pensated properly for the important work they have
done in the matter OF education, It is with special
pleasure that we give space wagner's appeal II
IS follows:
DOVER. Del. Jan 2s 1917.
To the Editor Of THE EVENING JOURNAL
Sir-lncrease OF salary for the County superinten-
dents has been recommended by the State Board OF
Education and by Governor Charles r. Miller in his
last annual message These recommendations have
been received with favor and only the amount OF in
crease is being opposed To decide justly and fairly
about the amount increase the following considera
tions should he given their full weight:
l. If $1,000 was a fair salary in 1903, measured by
what dollar Will buy now as compared with then Il
ls not fair salary
. Measured by required duties, the salary Is not
fair. Enforcement OF the Compulsory Attendance Law
Increase in schools to be visited and teachers TO he
amined. examination OF pupils Saturday group meet
ings OF teachers for study and direction OF work or
ganization and direction OF Parent-Teacher Associa-
ton; this list merely enumerates the duties added to
HIS work.
3 Criticism of the superinendents is mostly based
something mot done;' but it must be remembered
morly and the duties have multiplied; much must re-
main undone, even with the superintendents working
many more hours than formerly.
A. The proposed increase TO 50 600 too large to
persons II the salary had been increased from time
10 time proposed by bills introduced into the Leg
isature the present increase would not be from
70 $4,000. Il merely delayed justice TO grant the in
crease; merely paying salary already earned
3. Much new legislation is being asked for by the
State Board OF Education Every law enacted will
require explanation instruction and direction teach
ers and School Commissioners. The acquaintance OF
the present County superinendents with persons and
conditions and the confidence roposed IN them will be
OF inesmable value in making the necessary changes
and amicabe adaptations TO the new laws Large de-
mands on time and patience will be made. and
can meet these demands easily and completely as
the present incumbents But again, there is an in
creased demand for service which should be requited
by. increase OF salary
Yours truly.
