JUNEAU SCHOOL
 TO HAVE COURSE IN. GOOD COOKING

There have been so many in. quiries concerning a course in cook. ing in the High School that it has been decided to start one," said Ed. gar A. Stanton, superintendent of Juneau school
 The plans are not now fully made, but I can announce the general ma. ture of the work. The course is in tended for those who already have some knowledge of the, principles of cooking but who wish to. make a further study of the subject. The work will be suited to the individual members as far as is possible, but in order to work to advantage the class should be, composed of those who de sire about the same kind of work.
 The laboratory will ,accommodats up, to 16 or over, students at one time. The school has a good equip. ment and an excellent instructor
 "The cost of the materials, salary of the teacher and a few, other things must be borne by those who are talk ing the work. The cost per pupil of several of the items will depend upon the size of the class, but with a class of a dozen or more the expense of each lesson will be small.
 "I have no doubt that there are several other women in Juneau in addition to those who have inquired about the matter who would like to take up such work. The class will meet at the same time as the other night school classes: Monday and Thursday evenings at 7:30. Anyone who is interested in studying this subject as have outlined it should come to the meeting on Thursday evening and get full details"

Army Food Supplies.

The plan to sell surplus Army food
supplies to Washington householders,
using the schoolhouses of the District
as stores during the period of distri-
button. will meet with enthusiastic
support from Washingtonians. The
scheme, which amounts to community
buying on large scale, is happily
simple one to put into operation. The
purchase fund is to be raised by pop
ular subscription, the subscribers be-
ing guaranteed the return of their
loan by the fact that the United States
government obligates itself to pur-
chase back whatever supplies are not
disposed Of. The schools, idle at this
period of the year, afford convenient
distribution points.
The individual resident of the Dis
trict will benefit to the estimated ex-
tent of 80 per cent saving over present
market prices on the supplies pur-
chased. Nor will their good fortune
involve the entailing of loss by local
dealers in similar commodities. Such
effect as the plan would have upon re-
tail prices would be equally felt in the
wholesale markets.
Any step toward a reduction in the
prices of food necessities will be re-
garded gratefully as a relief by all
concerned. To the incentive Of the
more obvious saving is added the fact
that the disposition of surplus govern
ment supplies at a fair price will save
the individual from bearing his pro
rata share of such taxation as would
be necessary to make up any loss en-
tailed by selling the supplies below
cost.

Rehabilitation and Morale.

In discussing a proposal to increase
the appropriation for the work Of the
joint Redistribution commission, Sen
ator Spencer, in the Senate the other
day, said that the moral influence
among the 100000 employees of the
final report of this body will be worth
all that it costs outside of the savings
in money that will result. This is
conservative statement of the benefits
to be derived from full, fair and i'm
partial survey of the government per-
sonnet with view to equalizing con-
ditions of work and compensation.
No element more seriously initiates
against the efficiency of an organiza-
ton than a feeling of injustice and
inequality on the part of the personnel.
That feeling is cankerous, irritating
hampering and demoraliZing. In
the case of the government employees
it has prevailed for a long period
Nor was it unfounded Conditions of
employment in the various depart
ments and in different bureaus of the
same departments vary widely. There

the delays, with the inevitable result
of steady accretions Of value, the
realty owners Of the city are not re-
sponsible.
In many instances of public devel-
opments in Washington owners of
property have been severely injured.
They have been cast out of their
homes. which they desired to retain.
They have not always received ade-
quate compensation for their holdings.
When their lands have fallen in the
line of public improvements they have
had to take their chances with con-
demnation proceedings, subject to the
review of the federal-District Court.
If the processes of condemnation have
been unfair to the government-which
they have not as a whole-Congress
has had remedy in corrective legis-
lation.
Washington will only attain to the
stature of its destiny through the com
pletion of plans now in contempla
ton, chiefly originating with direct
of the government and
not with local realty owners. These
plans cannot be consummated without
the purchase of property. 1t is for
Congress to determine at what rate
the procedure will advance, and at
what cost. To condemn the owners of
the property involved is inequitable.

Realty Owners and improvements.

Complaint was voiced in the Senate
Friday night in connection with the
amendment to the sundry civil bill
providing for continuing the purchase
of land for the connecting Rock Creek
parkway respecting the activities of
owners of real estate in this city who
have lands they wish to sell for public
purposes. This is a familiar criticism.
IT will doubtless be heard again, for
from time to time the government will
require more land for its purposes at
the capital and the owners of avail
able spaces viii undoubtedly present
tt2eir propositions in the most favor
engaged in the work. But in the last
analysis of the matter the resronsi-
niiity for the character and cost of
additions to the public park and build
ing site area in Washington must rest
upon Congress. 1t is not exactly fair
TO rebuke the owners of property for
their enterprise in directing attention
TO their sites. II is not fair to score
,lfcm for seeking the best possible
prices for them, when in the matter of
selection and price Congress must final
" be the determining factor.
In the particular matter of the con-
Meeting parkway the plan was adopted

the situation. wise decision from
which there can be no reasonable de,

resentatives of the government and in
accordance with it purchases Of prop

time on continuing appropriation

more economical, for the government
to buy the whole tract at once. For

Potomac Palisades.

The project of turning the shores of
the Potomac river from Washington to
Great Falls into a national park is be-
ing revived. The matter was taken up
at late meeting of the Arts Club and
a number Of men of local and national
reputation have expressed themselves
as in sympathy with the general plan
1t is proposed to have introduced in
Congress bill making an appropria-
ton for a preliminary survey which
will determine the approximate area
needed and the cost of the proposed
park. The belief is that Maryland and
Virginia should cooperate and that an
interstate park commission should be
created. 1t is contemplated that there
shall be the least possible interference
with private property rights consistent
with a realization Of the idea.
This area or large part of it has
by common consent and usage become
a park for the people of the capital
and nearby parts of Maryland and
Virginia. The region is unsuitable for
agriculture and, especially on the Vir
GINA side, there is tendency to with
draw the land from public use by the
setting up of large and exclusive
estates It would be national asset
were the rough and scenic borders Of
the Potomac above Washington taken
over as a national park.

POLITICS AT HOME
New York.

The republicans of New York are so
we'll pleased with the local situation
and prospects that next years guber-
material nomination is being eyed long
ingly by a number of ambitious men.
None is of national note or conse
quence, but all stand we'll at home, and
spirited tussle for the prize is prom
ised
Machines are always much in evil
dence in Empire state politics, and
hence there is lively curiosity as to
how the republican machines will func-
ton this time in the primaries. As yet
there has been little aid to speculation.
The Whitman machine. it is conccd-
ed. was considerably injured last fall.
The defeat of its master for a third
term in the governorship threw it out
of gear. Had he been elected it would
have operated powerfully, both as re-
spects next years state race and New
4ork's part in the national race. 1t
might have secured a Whitman dele
CATION to the republican national con-
vention pledged to a Whitman candi
daey for the republican nomination for
President. But while injured, the ma
chine was not strapped, and its aid is
now sought.
Then there is the Barnes machine,
which, while injured somewhat by the
famous Roosevelt Barnes clash in court
several years ago, il yet in fair work
ing order, and capable, it is thought, of
helping or hurting in a race. Mr..
Barnes-"a born politician'-never
wearies Of the game. He is content
with being a New York quantity, and
with private life. He never asks an
elective Office for himself, and has held
by appointment only modest places.
He is a good worker, and in a campaign
usually makes his bailiwick count.
Mr.. Roosevelt left no machine, but
did leave many strong admirers, and
there is. some inquiry as to how they
will line up next year in local and in
national matters. They would have fol-
lowed him unhesitatingly, but whom
will they follow now that he is gone7
The senatorship now held by Mr..
Wadsworth is likewise under discus
sion. The senator will offer for sec
ond term; and while he may have OPP
position for the nomination his friends
are not disturbed. They think he will
be an easy winner in the primaries. He
has just drawn a prize in the organiza-
ton of the Senate-the Craftsmanship
of the military committeeman so
stands to strengthen himself in gen
eral as we'll as in local favor during
the coming twelve months.
1t is a great state when aroused and
in its stride. 1t is very much inter
ested at present in all the national
issues-the tariff, the merchant marine,
the railroads, the wires, the Army, the
Navy and everything coming under the
comprehensive head of reconstruction.
When it gets into action, watch it!
