been completed and peace to the
country restored, his first thought was
of returning to Galena, Ill. where
the breaking out of the civil war had
found him engaged in modest way
in business. True, he, had not sue
ceeded very well there. But he had
liked the town; and its people had
followed his subsequent career with
so much appreciation he felt like re-
turning to them, and, although but
little past forty years of age, spend
ing his remaining days among them.
Fortune decided for something very
different. 1t kept him in the lime
light, and in the thick of big affairs.
1t made him President of the United
States for two terms; and until his
last day he remained one of the
country's most conspicuous citizens.
It is but speculation about how
Cen Grant would have enjoyed
post war residence in Galena, engaged
in some private pursuits. He was
now world figure, and greatly ad
mired at home. Galena was Il small
town, and as place OF residence for
such a man would have been con-
sidered "a long ways from the big
road" He might have enjoyed a rest
ing spell there. but it is difficult to
imagine him contented for life in
surroundings of such quiet routine.

Gen. Pershing at Lincoln.

Gen. Pershing announces the in
tention of SETTLING down" and going
into business at Lincoln, Neb. He
has bought house there, and his son
when he reaches the proper age will
enter the state university.
1t was at Lincoln that Lieut.. John
J. Pershing, then young soldier,
spent several years as the military
instructor at the Nebraska seat Of
learning. He met with great success.
His work was much appreciated both
by the faculty and the students whom
he trained. He was complimented on
every hand and by everybody. The
experience may be described as his
start in life 1t heartened him, and
braeed him for other duties.
In this way he became attached to
the town; and, as one may easily
see. it is memory that is working.
The old time has come over him, and
as he feels a little jaded from "the
shouting and the tumult" of the past
few years, Lincoln looks and feels
good to him again. Its quiet and the
faces of old friends appeal to him.
But when he has had his rest
when he has gone over in freside
conversation with the old friends the
story of the old times and the later
times; when gray days of routine
and humdrum have set in, will life
in Lincoln longer satisfyi The town
is small, and "a long ways from the
big road" for the place Of residence
of a world figure in whom all his
countrymen are interested, and whom
all distinguished foreign visitors will
want to meet.
There used to be told a story about
Gen. Grant, to the effect that, after
lis great task in the war field had

reorganization or structural changes
and organic amendments. Fortunate
ly, the representatives of the four or
ganizations who are now about to
work on this line of valuable endeavor
for public improvement see clearly
that the schools need chiefly better
pay, more room, more force, retire
ment and business system.
Concentration by all who are in
terestel in the welfare of the school
system of the District upon these five
essentials. which can be secured with
out any organic changes and without
any disturbance, will make for the
betterment of the schools in all re-
spects and, what is most important,
for the more effective teaching of the
children of Washington, for whom
after all the schools are maintained.

Deaths resulting from the use Of
wood or denatured alcohol have be-
come SO frequent as to attract only
passing attention. Cases of total
blindness from the same cause are
still more common. Possibly so sim
pie an expedient as few drops Of
coloring matter placed by the manu-
faeturers in all poisonous alcohols
might serve as an, effectual danger
signal. However culpable the indis-
eriminate inebriate may be, it is un-
reasonable to submit him summarily
to the death penalty.

The Playground System.

Every day since last July $4,000
public Fairgrounds of this city. It
is impossible to estimate the number
of accidents prevented in eonse-
quence of the use of these spaces by
the youngsters in their recreationaI
games. Doubtless many lives have
been saved. Furthermore, the chill
dren's health has been benefited by
the sports and exercises they have
enjoyed on the Fairgrounds, under
supervision and direction. Washing
ton is better and a happier city in
consequence of this system of
equipped play spaces.
Yet, as was set forth in The Star
yesterday, there is danger that the
city will lose some of these play
grounds. Only a part of them are
owned by the District, the others be-
ing loaned or leased and as a result
at any time the eommunity's equip
ment may be greatly lessened as the
owners of the properties take them
back for building, purposes. In the
present situation in the District this
may happen at any time.
The District should own all of its
public playground spaces, and those
that are now held on lease or loan
should be bought. Other Fairgrounds
are needed, and these also should be
added to the system. In short, the
capital should have an expanding
instead Of diminishing system. This
is for Congress to provide in the
form Of larger appropriations both
for lots and for equipment.
Much indignation has recently been
expressed in the Senate in respect to
the high percentage of danger to life
in the streets of this city owing to
careless motoring. The same feeling
of concern should prevail for the pro-
lection of the children, in terms of
more liberal appropriations for the
playground department of the munich
pal organization.
Washington should not go backward
in this matter of recreational provision.
Yet unless steps are taken promptly
to acquire title to all the present play
ground spaces and to expand the sys-
tenn on permanent ownership basis
the capital will retrogress. With a
playground equipment now made
quate to the needs of the population
it Is assured that unless Congress acts
along these lines soon the provisions
will shortly be less than half of the
need.

Working for School Betterment.

Representatives of the Board of
Trade, the Chamber Of Commerce,
the Federation Of Citizens Associa-
tons and the Rotary Club have start
ed a campaign to secure certain bet
terments of the public schools of the
District. These are comprised under
five heads: % Higher pay for teach
ers, (2) more teachers, (3) a compre-
hensive building program, (D bust
ness manager with additional clerks,
and (5) retirement system for teach
ers.
This is big program, and it is suf-
ficient for the present. 1t embraces
all that the schools need today to
put them on a basis of the highest
efficiency. There is no occasion for
elaborate and far-reaching plans Of

The Railroad Question.

We have the Railroad question most
decidedly with u.s. The leading rep
resentatives of railroad labor are now
IN session in this town considering
terms upon which the railroad prop
critics should be returned to their
owners, while next week, upon the re-
assembling of Congress, all circles, in
and ont of Congress, will buzz with
speculation about what the conference
committee is likely to report on the
subject, and what Congress will do
with the report.
A, if not the, leading feature of the
question is the anti-strike provision
Of the Cummins measure. Shall, or
shall not, that be incorporated in
whatever legislation is enacted'
Capital, labor and the general public
are all most keenly interested.
A spokesman for the railroad work
ers said Saturday:
at is our purpose to avoid a strike
"a strike is war and we are looking
for peace All this agitation about
IN impending strike is most unfor-
tunate.'
A strike-such strike as has been
discussed as respects the trainmen-
would undou btedly mean war, and
the war, without such intention on
anybody's part, might get out of
hand and clear the boundaries of in
dustrial strife. A paralysis of the
eountry's transportation agencies
would preeipitate appalling condi-
tions of every kind; and everybody
would be affected. Even the strikers
would share in the catastrophe they
had brought on.
The steel strike has proved expen-
sive within limited field to both
capital and labor, but not so much 50
to the general public. The coal strike,
while it lasted, injured all. But such
a strike as is suggested in the matter
of the railroads would, if continued
for even a brief period, not only
cause heavy money losses, but freeze
and starve the people. How long
would the people stand itf Not
longer than they could end it, and
they would rise up for the purpose
of ending it right away.
Peace, not war, should be the OBJ
jeet of all. And what warrant is there
for saying, or even implying, that
peace can only be maintained
through this one policy or that7 Who
does not know, and is not willing to
confess, that in a matter of this kind
the general good is the only proper
object, and that all should contribute
toward bringing it abouts
If we have arrived at such a pass as
that this thing is beyond us, then the
government, for the highest func-
tioning-the common welfare-has
broken down, and we are deporting
such creatures as the Berkmans and
Goldmans in vain, and unjustly.
But the government has not broken
down. 1t is inconceivable that Con-
gress cannot and will not settle this
question, and equally so that the set
tlement when announced as law will
be fouted.

ALTERED PLANS FOR
NEW SCHOOL BUILDINGS

At a meeting of the board of trus-
tees of Independent school district
No. 33 held last week for the pur-
pose of letting the contract for the
construction of two rural school
buildings, it became evident that the
plans would have to be somewhat
altered, or the board would not
have money enough to build them.
also that the plans of the high school
building would have to be altered
for the same reason. Consequently
another meeting was held Tuesday
evening OF this week to work out
new set OF plans for all three build
ings.
The number of rooms and size or
same will not be changed from the
original plans, but some of the orna-
ments to the buildings will have TO
be eliminated. which will meet with
the approval of the taxpayers The
increasing cost of material is the
cause. The buildings will be just as
serviceable without the fiounces, and
where possible they will be built in
such a way that the ornaments can
be added later.

KEEP YOUR WAR BONDS

1t appears that there is an in
creasing effort being made by un-
scrupulous people to secure for less
than their true value our United
States government war bonds. 1t
has come to light that in some in
stances these government bonds
have been exchanged for securities
which are absolutely worthless. The
extent TO which these exchanges are
being carried on is alarming, and ii
concerted effort will be necessary to
stamp 1t out.
Below is a copy of a resolution un-
animously adopted by the last Idaho
State Bankers Association held at
Burley:
We view sfth apprehension the
increasing effort being made by un-
scrupulous people to secure for less
than their true value our L. S. gov
ernment war bonds, and warn the
people against those who make this
their business.
1--WE urge those now owning gov
ernment bonds to continue holding
them whenever possible and in those
cases where sales are absolutely nee
essary we pledge ourselves to OBJ
tain for the holder the very highest
possible cash market value without
profit TO ourselves.
we further pledge ourselves to
assist by every legitimate means in
discouraging the exchange of war
bonds for other so-caled invest
ments."
