Let There Be Light!

The board of education having &C.
knowledged in its statement relative
to its refusal to reappoint Supt. Thurs
TOP the existence Of the Senate select
committee recently investigating school
conditions. it is fair to presume that
it has read the testimony taken before
that committee. 1t is, therefore, in
order to suggest that the members Of
the board carefully con the rec
ord Of this inquiry, to summarize and
digest as far as possible the various
and it must be emphasized varying
reasons given before the committee for
the dismissal Of Mr.. Thurston. 1t is
important that this survey Of the tes-
timony should be conducted to serve
as guide in the selection Of sue
cessor. For the school board will in
all logic want to find a superintendent
who possesses all the ideal qualifca-
tions as defined in the course Of the
testimony, and who lacks the limita-
lions which the members of the board
so differently stated in the case Of
Mr.. Thurston.
This will be considerable task. The
record Of the inquiry is voluminous.
The different members of the board
gave their versions of the case in their
own individual ways, with wide lati-
tude of expression. At times there
was some difficulty on the part of the
inquiring senators to secure explicit
statements and much cross question
ing was necessary. Possibly the board
should engage an analyst to compile
a succinct summary of the definitions
of an ideal superintendent given in
the course of the hearing. This, serv
ing as a measuring rod, would make
much easier the task Of the boards
nominating committee now searching
for a superintendent.
In view of the wholly disinterested
motives of the members of the board
in displacing the superintendent, their
unbiased desire to benefit the schools,
their entire absence of personal preju
dice and their public spirited zeal for
the promotion of harmony in the school
system, this selfanalysis, so to speak,
through the medium of the record of
the investigation, will be a distinct
public service, however painful it
might prove in spots.

during those seven hours Of speech
making and confusion that it was not
businesslike way of doing the work
of the national convention, and, in
deed. not a dignified way. The task
for which those men and women went
to Chicago was to find the best man
for the highest office in the republic,
and not to pick one whose lieutenants
could command the largest number and
the stoutest lunged of partisans in the
galleries.

Gen. Pershiug.

The country will echo with pleasure
and sincerity the sentiments contained
in the letter of Secretary Baker to Gen.
Pershing on the latter's declared pur-
pose soon to retire from active mill
tary service. There is comfort in the
fact that the distinguished soldier will
assist in the reorganization Of the
Army, and in the certainty that should
the country need his presence in the
field again he will respond to the coun-
try's call.
In three years, two Of them spent
abroad, Gen. Pershing has made great
advances in his profession. He has
seen and participated in war on truly
colossal scale. As an adviser, there.
fore, he can be Of invaluable aid in
helping to set the eountry's fighting
machine to the latest requirements, 80
that in case Of another war we shall
not be in the amazing and deplorable
plight which marked our condition in
the early spring Of 1917.
It is likewise Of interest and i'm.
portance to consider that there are
many other officers Of our Army-some
Of them much younger than Gen. Per.
shing, and good for years Of service
on the active list-who shared his op.
portunities abroad during Americas
part in the war, and as a result are
fully abreast Of the times in military
matters. In case Of new hostilities
any time soon they will be source Of
confidence and comfort, able as they
will be to bring their training and az.
perience at once into the field.
The value Of preparedness is now
very generally appreciated; and it
should not in future be difficult to Sc.
cure such action by Congress as will
give US both on land and sea all that
may be necessary for the national de-
tense in any emergency that can pos.
sibly arise.

In the absence Of the President and
Mr.. McAdoo, Mr.. Bryan wiz fill the eye
more completely than any other per-
son present. And for several reasons.
He is an outstanding man Of conse-
quence wherever he hangs out. His
attitude toward the administration is
the subject Of much speculation. And
there is a strong suspicion that he
would not dodge IL he saw fourth
nomination for the presidency headed
in his direction.
Chairman Cummings of the demo
cratic national committee will be the
keynoten He is not famous as a
speaker, but as the President has read
his speech and approved, 1t is assum-
able that the case Of the democracy
is stated clearly and forcibly. The
President is a judge Of that sort of
performance.
Whether Mr.. Cummings will held
the gavel, as Mr.. Lodge is deing, to
the end has not been decided.
The democrats, as a rule, are demon
strative in convention. The southern
delegates usually carry what is pleas
antly described as "the rebel yell'
with them, and use It freely in Mailing
either persons or policies meeting with
their appreciation. And two southern
men-Senators Glass and Simmons
are to be voted for for the presidential
nomination.

A Long Fight Planned.

If the vets fail to capture the next
Congress, will they try for control of
still the NEXT Why mott They are
well organized. well equipped for con-
test and very much in earnest Their
charge is not only that their personal
liberty has been invaded, but their
property taken unconstitutionally.
This means that they will throw
their full strength in numbers and other
resources into this years campaign. If
they miss, they will take account Of
their activities, and be instructed by
any mistakes they have made, and,
if possible, rectify them in the next
trial Of conclusions. If they hit; if
they secure control of the Sixty
seventh Congress, and succeed in
amending the Volstead act in the in.
terests of light wines and beer, they
will then plan for an enlargement of
their policy so as to restore as soon
as possible old wide-open conditions
throughout the country.
That is their ultimate aim. The light
wines and beer movement is strategy
It is regarded as inadvisable to ask too
much at once. Prohibition as ma
tional policy is new, and has been es-
tablished by an overwhelming major
ity. A frontal attack, therefore, at
this time would be certain to fail.
Flanking, and sapping and mining, will
be tried first.
There is long, warm fight ahead.
1t may continue for some years. Every
means will be employed to discredit
and break down the law. Its enemies
will make its execution as unpopular
and expensive as possible.
Meanwhile, what the vets do this
year, how they do it, and through what
agencies they operate, will be of so
much interest the drys are likely to
keep close account of every step taken.

A Change of Front at Chicago.

1t is rather hard to understand the
process of mind that caused the reso-
lutions committee of the republican
convention at Chicago on Thursday to
reject by vote of q to 10 the ma
tional representation plank for the
District of Columbia after having
adopted it by a vote Of 20 to Is. The
dispatches from Chicago state that the
motion to reconsider was carried after
speeches by opponents who gave diff
ferent reasons for rejecting the plank.
One senator declared that it would
kill the half-and half plan of appro-
priation for the District, which has
already indeed been KILLED" through
the adoption of a ty-forty ratio.
Another member of the committee
urged that the national representation
plan would take voters of the states
now resident here from the states. No
vote, however, would be lost to any
body, but on the contrary votes would
be gained. 1t was also urged that the
matter had not been given considera-
ton enough by the resolutions COM
mittee, although the fact is that it was
brought to the attention of the
executive committee on platform
and policies at its meeting in
this city some weeks ago, and if con-
sideration was not had it was the fault
of the committee and not the peo-
pie of the District. 1t was also argued
that the states had not issued any man
date regarding the plank. Have the
states issued mandates on any question
touched upon in the PLATFORM The
District is not state and, therefore,
could not issue a mandate in these
terms, but it has demanded through
the most representative organization
of citizens ever formed here the ex-
tension of American rights to its peo-
pie. No more mandatory requisition
for plank in party platform could
be had. Taken altogether, the argu-
ments that prevailed upon the reso-
lutions committee to change its mind
through the shifting of eleven votes
from the affirmative to the negative
were peculiarly ill-assorted and uncon-
vincing though they did con
vince those eleven members, who thus
denied the District a chance for a
renewed and a strongly supported de-
mand upon Congress for action in the
name of one of the great national po-
litical parties.

Noise and Nomination.

Washington's waiting yesterday for
news from Chicago during the hours
of oratory was a weary one, unenliv-
ened by the noise Of cheering, the
felicity Of praise, the waving Of
banners, the playing Of bands, the
marching Of partisans and the bray
ing Of factional and personal slogans.
The nominating.speech period in ma
tional convention is always spectacular
and at times is thrilling, but the folks
at distance, getting nothing Of it,
wonder at it all and heartily wish the
men and women--for women are now
on the job-gathered from all parts
of the country and from over the seas
do not hurry up and get down to brass
tacks.
Pre-voting eloquence, music, noise
and action are all carefully designed
for psychological effect. They are
planned to get votes. But, in truth,
they do not get them. 1t is to be
doubted whether single person on
the roll at Chicago yesterday was in
fuenced in the least degree by all the
fuss and sound during the seven hours
that preceded the actual balloting. As
far as the results were concerned, the
nominating. speeches could have been
cut down to a minute apiece, with no
seconds and no cheering, and no
marching, no music, no waving of flags
or red feathers, no organized cheering

planned and indeed are paid for. They
