the terms of the armistice and the

fact that the child's mind is remark
ably receptive to new impressions. 1t

Grafton to see that these momentous

war make a true and lasting impress
sion. There is no more important
study today than the newspapers with
their reports of the tremendous de-

school teacher who permits the chill

ignorance Of these events and their
meaning is making a fearsome mis-

Hoover to Retire.

Herbert Hoover says that after next
July he must quit the work of super
vising food distribution in order to
earn a living. No one can complain
of such a decision. Mr.. Hoover has
been on duty continuously since the
autumn of 1914 as a worker in the
interest Of humanity, serving first in
Belgium at the head Of the relief com
mission, which saved thousands of
lives through systematic food pro-
vision and distribution then summon
ed to this country to become food ad-
ministrator and since the signing of
the armistiee heading the work of in
ternationaL food supply. No adequate
compensation could possibly be made
for what he has done. He has devoted
himself unreserved1y to difficult tasks
and has wholly neglected his own in
tercsts. Now he feels that he must
return to his field of work. He has
earned the thanks of the world for
se1fsaerifcing services that cannot be
measured, and there will be univer-
sal hope that the Giving he earns will
be good one. He deserves the best.

DR.. Albert Honored by Germany.

Appointment of DR.. Heinrich Albert
as an underseeretary of state of Ger
many with direction of the chancellery
Will not impress the people of this
country as satisfactory guarantee of
reformation at Berlin. DR.. Albert is
well remembered here as one of the
workers for Germany's propa-
ganda before the United States en-
tered the war. He was the paymaster
of the spy system in this country, and
many of the plots for the destruction
Of munition plants and the sinking of
ships by internal explosions involved
him in some capacity He had the mis-.
fortune to lose some papers while the
propaganda was at its height, which
permitted the government to trace out
his activities and he left the United
States rather hurriedly Now with him
in the Berlin foreign Office it will be
difficult to disassoeiate the present or
ganizatiou from the old system, Of
which he was faithful exponent while
in America. He may be very capable
man, but his selection is not fortunate
if the German government wishes to
manifest good faith in its reformation.

In 1909 the repubiicans-then in full

In 1912 they divided on a number of
things, and lost both Congress and
the presidency. In 1914, still unin-

and again lost Congress. In 1916,
with the plain lesson still unlearned,
they again lost Congress and the presi-

little stronger pull for harmony would
have carried the day. They were stung
four times in six years by the same

The 400. 900 Disfranchised.

In a letter to The Star, printed else
where today. Mr.. Harry K Boss COM
putes the present population of the
District at 475,000. He takes as the
basis of his estimate the police census
of November /, 1917, which gave $685.
497, and derives from the reports of
the street railway companies for Oc-
tober, 1918, the factor of increase dur
ing the intervening year, yielding $780,
24s. Allowing 10000 for the strictly
transient, government population
of the District in October last and tax
ing the actual net losses in the govern
ment service since the signing of the
armistice, Mr.. Boss reaches the not un-
likely figure stated as the number of
the present actual residents of the CAPT
tai.
Ii that estimate is correct there are
probably fully half a million people
now living, eating and sleeping here.
Omitting the hundred thousand of new
war workers, the percentage of whom
that is to become permanent being
unknown, it is well assured that the
minimum of 400, 900 persons who per-
manently live here can be stated with
out fear of contradiction as the num-
Der for whom national representation
is now asked.
This this minimum already recog
nized as somewhat too low, will rise
rather than fall in the course of short
time is assured. Washington is certain
to grow The governments activities are
bound to expand. The capitals bust
ness is as certain to develop. The city
viii grow upon its own growth, as have
other communities. Industrial Wash
ington will increase. Experience and
the precedents teach that more than
half of the new army of war workers
will remain here as permanent resi-
dents.
Mr.. Boss figures are an instructive
contribution to the argument for the
bestowal Of American rights upon the
permanent residents Of the capital, who
have in all respects fulfilled their
duties as citizens and have in the
emergency of war done their part
patriotically, eagerly and effectively,
though denied voice in the declara-
tion of war, or the making of peace or
the adjustments which SO vitality affect
the welfare Of all Americans.

Keep the Streets Clean!

Washington has been extremely for
tunate in the matter of the street
cleaning since the failure of the ap-
preparations, with two heavy night
rains that have thoroughly secured the
city. But it cannot safely depend upon
the weather indefinitely, and as there
is no prospect of an appropriation un-
til Congress meets in extra session,
which will be at least two months
hence, something must be done to in
sure a cleaning. It has been suggest.
ed that this can be done By the people
themselves, each taking care Of the

The House and Harmony.

The republicans of the House are
making an earnest effort to compose
their differences. They are we'll en-
