NO FREAKS" FOR EAST
 ON FRISCO MEETING
Three Hours Time Difference and Long Wire Stretch Will Hamper Morning and Evening
 Papers Alike

Although the San Francisco commit. tee and the national Democratic organization are working to aid the newspapers in every way possible in the handling of the press reports on the national convention, the impress ion is growing in Washington that serious difficulties are to be en- conntered by correspondents and desks" alike, according to the Editor and Publisher -.--
 Added to the natural obstacle of three hours difference in time Tor all papers east of Pittsburgh and Cleveland, including both of these cities, are the difficulties attendant upon handling the heavy convention file of press matter over so great a distance and a limited number of
 Up to the Telegraph
 Officials of both telegraph compan- ies here state that everything pos sible will be done between now and June to install such additional fac ilities as will enable them to move the greatest amount of press copy in the shortest possible time. They do not deny that the prospect of less wires and the normal time consumed in moving d story taken in connect ion with the three hours handicap in time may make things hard for newspapers seeking to keep astrise the developments in the convention
 They admit, for instance, that should a nomination come at 11:30 o'clock at night, it might be possible that New York and Philadelphia pap CTS would not get their dispatches until 5 or 5:.30 o'clock in the morning.
 Afternoon papers in the East can expect no breaks" in the mater of day sessions, although it is entire. ly likely that they will get complete stories on night sessions whereas the morning papers may catch only late city editions, missing out entirely in their early ms ! editions.
 Long Wire Big Problem
 Officials of the telegraph compan- ies are prepared to fill in" on theil wires west of Chicago so as to have a maximum of circuits ready for the convention file, but they draw atten- tion to the difficulties almost invar- iably attached to such long circuits, especially if there is a break. It is

Bad Manners at the Car Stops.

This is the time Of year when the
bad manners Of people who ride the
street cars are most unpleasantly
manifest. Everybody is just as much
in hurry as everybody else. But
that does not excuse crowding and
pushing. 1t particularly does not ex-
cuse jumping on the platforms of the
old type cars before the people who
are leaving have a chance to reach
the steps. It does not excuse men
rushing in at the stopping points
ahead of the women in a frantic en-.
deavor to be first aboard regardless
Of the conditions within. This sort of
thing happens at so many car stops
in Washington that the thought comes
to the observer that the men Of this
city are sadly deficient in courtesy.
At almost every one of these points
scenes are enacted that should make
those taking part ashamed for their
selfish inconsiderateness. It is no
uncommon sight to see a youth push in
ahead Of an elderly woman, almost
knocking her off the steps. The con-
ductors can do nothing. Bystanders
interfere at their peril. Ali that can
be done is to hope for enlightenment
and a better attitude developing with
maturity. But that hope is dimmed
by the sight Of adults doing the same
thing.

Gen. Pershing as Grand Marshal.

It was most suitable that Gen. John
J. Pershing should be invited to be-
come chief grand marshal of the in.
augural parade. And it is highly
gratifying that he has consented to
serve in that capacity. In the first
place Gen. Pershing, as the ranking
officer of the Army, is naturally the
most logical person to head the line
on the 4th Of March. But there is an
other reason. AS commander of the
American expedidonary forces he rem
dered a service that made him known
by name to every person in this coun-
try. He won the gratitude of the ma
ton by his work in France. On the
4th Of March there will be many thou
sands of people in Washington from
all parts Of the country who will want
to see him, and in his capacity as
grand marshal Of the inaugural parade
he will be before them prominently.
This is not to suggest that he will
divide honors with the new President,
for whose induction into office the
multitude comes to Washington, but
Gen. Pershing's appearance at the
head of the line will unquestionably
add very greatly to the interest of the
occasion. Behind him probably will
march many men who served under
him in France. and their presence,
noted in some particular manner, will
also be a distinctive feature, making
the inauguration of 1921 one of the
most notable on record.

ing. The members Of that body, with.

formally to their appreciation Of their
most distinguished associate. The pro.
ceedinss are unique in congressional
history, and highly creditable to all

The length Of Mr.. Cannon's service
as national legislator is much, but
the quality Of his service is more. The
great majority Of his many years on
Capitol Hill have been marked by per.
formances Of substantial public bene-
fit. Always a republican and a stout
partisan. he has yet never failed to
differentiate between partisan and non
partisan questions, and to record him.
self as to the latter on the broad lines
of national welfare. A republican in
season, an American at all times.
Mr.. Cannon has filled two posts in
the House which test a mans quality
thoroughly, and in both he acquitted
himself in a manner to explain and
to justify today's unusual nantes
tations in his honor. As chairman Of
the appropriations committee he gave
his influence toward a clean and lib.
eral support Of the government, and
as Speaker he administered the Office,
not in a way to escape criticism
something strong man is apt to pro.
voke-but in a way to facilitate bust
ness and obtain satisfactory results
And time has rewarded him. The

At eighty-f1ve Mr.. Cannon is in
health, with confidence in his country
and its institutions unimpaired, and
entitled to look with assurance toward

taking the town continues, with q much
more stubborn resistance on the part
of the defenders. D'Annunzio has
been slightly wounded. but holds the
citadel of defense in the center of the
city. which he has threatened to de-
stroy by an explosion before surren-
dering. 1t may, however. come about
that D'Annunzio will be checkmated
by civilian influences. as at the In
stance Of the mayor Of the city truce
has been sought and firing will prob
ably be suspended shortly looking to
the surrender Of the city regardless
of DAnnunzio's last ditch" declara-
ton. The fall Of Fiume can be but a
matter Of a short time, and the only
question Is whether it will be effected
without heavy loss Of life and destruc-
ton Of property.

So
The Navy.

These things are worth remember
ing in connection with the appropria-
tions asked for the Navy:
a. The President was not what is
called a Big Navy man at the time
he entered the White House. The
world war was then sixteen months
in the distance. The Army and the
Navy were not at that time promi-
nently in the picture. They became
so, however, as soon as the war broke
out. for war then became, even for
neutrals, an absorbing topic.
(2) The President declared for ian
Incompatible Navy" before America
entered the war. He had been study
ing the question in the light Of Euro.
pean developments, and had become
convinced not only that our sea power
was much too small, but that 1t should
be advanced to first place in the world
equation. Our place being in the
front rank Of the nations, we should.
Lhe thought, be prepared at all times

Supplementary School Estimates.

The supplementary school estimates,
just submitted to the Senate commit
tee, state the cost of absolutely es-
sential equipment works at $500, 900.
This is the minimum of new projects
with which it will be possible to &C.
commodate the school population i'm
mediately. Even with this amount
made at once available and expended
in prompt construction it will be neces-
sary to continue to use the portable
school buildings. A reduction from
the $3,500,000 point would leave the
schools, even with the most prompt
and efficient construction enterprise,
in a deplorable condition Of congestion
and ineffectiveness.
Inasmuch as it is proposed to meet
this supplementary estimate by an
appropriation of the District tax
moneys that have accumulated in the
Treasury, the so-called surplus, on the
basis Of an equal amount of federal
money, there is no reason whatever
for postponing the use of this fund un-
til the new fiscal year. 1t may be
made Immediately available for the
quickest possible use. This surplus"
fund has been awaiting use for some
time. and. indeed, on the fifty-fifty basis
an appropriation Of about $9.000,0 900 is
possible for application at once, with.
out waiting for tax receipts.
Probably before the District bill be.
comes a law the high schools Of the
city will present a fresh proof of the
need of new constructions. Every
one of these schools is overcrowded
at present, and in February more new
pupils will reach them from the grade
schools than will graduate in the mid
year classes. This will add to the
congestion gravely, and this process
is sure to continue every September
and February. The only high school
building relief in sight is the Eastern
High School. which has been pend
ing" for several seasons.
There is every evidence Of a dispo-
sition in the Senate to recognize prac.
tically and provide literally for these
school needs, which all Washington
considers as the most urgent Of the
Districts requirements at present. An
equitable use Of the surplus now lying
in the Treasury to the credit Of the
District, for the relief of these necessi-
ties, will crafty every Washingtonian.

The Diplomatic Patronage.

Gossip is busy now with the leading
ambassadorships. They are choice
posts except in the matter of salary.
That deficiency ought to be remedied.
Our diplomatic servants have never
been adequately paid. AS a result,
we have not always been adequately
served by those put in commission.
The European billets will afford fine
opportunities for competent men. Eu-
rope is settling but slowly from the
great upheaval, and those we send to
represent us will have to feel their
way with caution. But their difficult
ties should sharpen their wits. and de-
Selop their capacities along the lines
Of their labors.
: But let us not forget that fine op-
portunities for service will exist also
in Central and South America, and in
Mexico right at our doors. The right
men sent to those countries should be
able to speak for us to advantage there,
and promote the good feeling with
them earnestly desired in the United
States.
We should cultivate our friends to
the south, clear down to- the cape,
more industriously and intelligently
than hitherto. The old hemisphere has
been rocked with disasters as never
before, and will show the appalling
effect for years. The new is the COM
ing hemisphere. In it will be wrought
some wonderful things before this
century closes.
AS we are it's leader today, and GER
tain to remain SO. we should continue
to deserve the Office. This we can only
hope to do by sending the right men
to represent us and charging them
specifically with their duty.
