deficiency appropriation. 1t is plain
that not enough money is provided for
this purpose. Good work cannot be
done in the night schools with the pos
sibility of fund exhaustion constantly
hanging over the teachers. The night
schools should be put upon exactly
the same basis as the day schools, with
adequate appropriations for their main.
tenance throughout the entire season.
II it is worth while keeping these
places open for the public instruction
it is assuredly worth while to keen
them open continuously and to finance

The Republican Problem.

Discussion in republican circles plays
around three propositions: ~ The
next President should possess knowl-
edge Of both civil and military life
should be combination Of soldier and
administrator. The disturbed state of
the world will continue for some time,
and during that time all the leading
nations will have to be on their guard.
We should have a man in the White
House able to appraise danger should
it arise, and counsel ably as to opera
tons TO meet it.
(2) A man who has had a large ex-
perience in business as we'll as in poll
ties is the man for the emergency. The
problem of the present and Of the i'm
mediate future is business problem.
We must do more business than ever
before, and, Of course, on sound bust.
ness principles. Let US call to the
presidency a man who has shown in
business ready and successful grasp
Of business requirements, and in poll
tics the ability to get ON also in that
field.
(3) We ought not to specialize in
this matter. Neither soldier nor a
business man, conspicuous as such, is
necessary in the supreme command.
The presidency has to do with many
things The incumbent should be a
good all-around man-one who has had
much to do with politics. Politics
the science Of government-will con
tinue to be the principal wear. Hence,
the man best prepared to serve US now
is ono who knows politics we'll, and
has attained distinction and influence
in that field.
Those who hold to proposition mum.

Gen. Wood and Gen. Pershing, both of

The New Police Chief,

Thoroughly trained in police matters
and familiar to the last detail with
the personnel and methods of the
force. Maj. Gessford, to give him his
new title. will make most competent
superintendent of police. His selec-
ton is distinctly gratifying to the com
munity and calls for the warmest com
mendation for the Commissioners in
their selection.
1t has been the hope of the people
of the capital ever since the office be-
came vacant through the lamentable
death of Maj. Pullman that it would
be filed from the ranks of the police,
even though the presidents for many
years past had been against such a
course. There was no lack of excel
lent material. Numerous candidates.
were advanced and the Commissioners
were, in truth, somewhat embarrassed
by their opportunities for making an
effective and satisfactory choice from
among the members of the depart
ment. Their final selection commands
immediate and unqualified approval.
The police force of Washington
holds a peculiar position and bears a
heavy responsibility, owing to the fact
that it has to safeguard the interests
of the government as well as of the
community. 1t has always held high
prestige. 1t has had many difficult
situations to meet and has always ae-
Quilted itself well. 1t has been capa-
bly, led in the past, but not for half
century has its chief been taken
from the ranks. There is no doubt
now of the success of the departure
from precedent in this latest appoint
ment. Maj. Gessford, commanding as
he does the confidence and esteem of
the memb ers of the force and equally
Of the public. is assured of undivided
and loyal support from both.

Another Railroad Strike Menaced

Is the country to be plunged into
more railroad strike trouble immedi-
ately following the collapse of the
switchmens There is threat of such
a renewed disturbance. At Chicago
yesterday request" for temporary
increase of 81 day was made by the
General Chairman's Association of the
Northwest District of the United
Brotherhood of Maintenance of Way
Employees and Railroad Shop Laborers.
This IS formidable title 1t com
prlses district membership. it is
stated, of about 100000 men. They
are asking for this increase pending
the decision of the railroad labor boa I'd
on their original wage demands. If
il is not granted by April 90 they will
leave work individually" This seems
to be the new method of striking. 1t
was claimed in the switchmen's case
that they were not striking, but were
merely taking vacation.
If these maintenance of wav men
quit work they will greatly embarrass
the railroads and possibly cause tie
up of the lines. Their "reouest" is
obviously improper. They are asking
for raise in advance of decision, The
railroad labor board has announced
that it will not give hearing to rep
resentatives of the organization re-
sponsible for the recent walkout until
the men have returned to work. The
board can hardly give hearing or
consideration to the maintenance of
way men if they quit because they are
not granted an increase before their
case has been heard.
The date set for this voluntary va
cation .walkout of the maintenance of
way men is significant. 1t comes ON
the eve of the LIST of May, the date
set, according to the Department of JUS
tice, for general tie-up of the basic
industries under the inspiration of the
radicals who are now seeking to use
the labor forces in this country for
seditious political ends.

We need not adopt the phrase that

profit by the philosophy II teaches.
We can note that others are struggling
with like difficulty, and be inspired
and spurred by the spirit with which
they are meeting it.
France and England are groaning
under taxation, and vet finding it nee
essary to add TO their burdens. Their
governments are busy with the prob
lens.
Yesterday the British chancellor of
the exchequer addressed the house of
commons on the new budget he has
prepared. In sum, it is stiff propo
sition, carrying an enormous amount.
and touching intimately the. life of the
people. But he spoke confidently, and
appealed for support by a patriotic
reference to the nations position,
which he described as zone of unex
IMPLIED and unequaled strength
The appeal here should. and can, be
h a similar key. The people are pay
ing heavily now, but they can pay
more, as more may be necessary. We

sources have never been tested. The
burden We are carrying cannot be

Mexican Revolt Pro1resses.

II is stated that the Carranza com
mander at Santa Rosalia. in the state
of Chihuahua, has revolted and pur-
poses to take the field for the Sonora
movement. Il this is true the anti
Carranxa revolution in Mexico takes
ON . most serious aspect indeed. Chi
huaAua, which is the largest state in
the republic, has long been the scene
Of trouble, owing to the fact that Villa
has chiefly operated there. Should
that state as an entirety join the in.
surrection, now comprising Sonora, the
greater part Of Sinalea and Miehoacan,
fully one-quarter Of Mexico will be in
revolt against the government. While
this il not the most populous part of
the country, it is the most difficult for
regular troops to operate in and cor
respondingly the easier for the irregu-
lars, such as those comprising the in
surgent forces.
Carranza has formally asked for per
mission to send his troops through
American territory in order to attack
the insurgents. This proposition has
already evoked the protest of the Gov
ernor Of Arizona and is not likely to
be granted. The insurgents are strong
~ intrenched along the American line
and would resist any crossing by fed
eral forces, thus preeipitating a battle
practically on the territory of the
United States. The Yaqni and Mayo
Indians are joining the Sonora forces
and constitute formidable force for
Carranza's discontinue.
No further word has come from Con
zaleas at Puebla. He is probably watch
ing the course Of events. Should he
definitely move against the Carranza
government in cooperation with Obre.
eon and the Sonora revolters the DO
sitien of the government at Mexico
City would be one Of the greatest dan.
ger and a removal to some other point
would probably become necessary.
