LEGION GETS
 S5OO,OOO FUND

According to The Home Sector, the ex-soldiers' weekly conducted by the former editorial council of The Stars and Stripes: 'SThe American Legion has inherited $5OO,0OO from the can teen service of the Y. M. c. A with the American Army in Trance. An nouncenent of this windfau has been made by the National Executive Com mittee of the Legion in a statement which includes an explanation of the gift of John I. Mott, General Secre- tary of the War Work Council of the '. NJ c. A.
 f'The gift was made possible by the fact that a recent decision of the United States and French Govern ments not to charge the Y. M. c. A for the transportation services has changed what appeared to be a loss of $1,47S,084 on it's overseas canteer operations into an apparent surplus of $500, ,000. MT. Mott explained thai in keeping with the Y. M. c. As policy of conducting it's canteens on g non-profit making basis, it was felr desirable that the s500,000 prof should be turned back, So far as i! within the Y. M. c. As power, to the men whose purchases produced tht profit.
 ''Mr. Mott's letter showed that ur to the time the canteens oversea: were taken back by the Army, or April 1, 1919, the total volume of tht business transacted through the pos exchanges was 37,SOO,00o. He stated that throughout it had been the prac tice of the Y. M. c. A. to make nt profit from this business.
 MT. Mott has made it plain tha the $500, 900 is turned over to the Le zion without any restrictions as tt ire use to be made of it. The Legiol
 elf has decided that it will not a -esent spend the money thus re ceived, but will make trust funt of it and expend only the income.''

The Government and the Railroads

Government ownership and opera
ton of railroads would be a distinct
and long step toward complete state
socialism Those urging the taking
Of the step have that goal in mind.
They favor radical changes in our
whole governmental structure, and are
hoping for as rapid progress as pos
sible. Should they succeed with the
railroad feature of their program they
will bring forward other features, and
press them as opportunities present
themselves or can be made.
These men failed at Chicago. Will
they fail also at San Francisco? They
will muster in force at the democratic
convention, and quote with flourish
the votes cast at Montreal yesterday
by the American Federation of Labor
against the advice of President
Gompers. 1t approached the proper
tions of four to one in favor Of state
socialism.
Government ownership Of railroads
means the adding Of at least twenty
billions Of dollars to the country's
bonded Indebtedness, already raised by
the war to an unprecedented height.
Do the people want thats Would
they stand for it at the pollss
It would also mean the adding of
hundreds Of thousands Of names to the
governments pay rolls. For every
railroad employe, from trackwalker
up, would become a government Off
cial. Do the people wan. thatf Would
they stand for it at the pollsf Would
not such a machine, manipulate for
political purposes and certain to be
employed that way under either party
when in power, prove dangerous to the
countrys Is not the governments
patronage in its present size a source
Of anxiety on that accountf
The railroads are now where they
properly belong-in the hands of their
owners-and should be left there. And
their service to the public will be en-
tirely satisfactory when normal con-
ditions in the country are restored.

Bubonic Plague.

A fatal case of bubonic plague is
reported from Galveston, a youth of
seventeen having died after a brief
illness. The diagnosis has been con-
Cured in by federal, state, county and
city health officers. Two deaths cred
tied to the same cause have occurred
at Pensacola. So far these are the
only cases Of bubonic plague deaths
that have been reported in this ceun-
epidemic at Vera Cruz and at Tam
pico, and strict quarantine has been
established against those ports. The
American federal health officials are
cooperating with the Mexican authori-
ties in fighting the plague. sending
south supplies of serum. At both Gal
weston and Pensacola the local au-
thorities, aided by the federal officials,
are moving vigorously to clean up the
rats, which are plague bearers. Scien-
tific methods are employed in these
rat determination drives to insure the
Identification of localities in which in
fection is found. There is no cause
for alarm on the score of a general
spread Of this disease. 1t may extend
locally at the two points of infection
and possibly may develop elsewhere.
But in view of the prompt and eff
fectiye measures for quarantining and
for exterminating the "carriers" it is
altogether likely that the disease will
be quickly brought under control in
this country.

Republican Unity.

There was no bolt at Chicago, al
though one had been predicted. There
has been no bolt since the convention
adjourned, although there is some dis
grrntlement, and some republicans Of
prominence share in the feeling.
But this is not enough. If the re-
publican ticket is to be elected 1t
must have the party's united support.
And not the support of mere acqui-
escence, but the active support OF gen
uine approval.
There was a bolt in 1896 on the
part Of the gold democrats, and a
ticket nominated to represent it.
Palmer and Buckner were fine men,
and thoroughly sincere in their atti-
tude. But they did not draw heavily
from the democracy, or enjoy the
credit for Mr.. Bryan's defeat.
much stronger influence to that
end was contributed by gold demo-
Gratis who did not bolt, and yet rem
dered no service to Mr.. Bryan. They
objected to him and his platform as
strongly as did the bolters, but they
remained regular for regularity's sake.
As politicians they knew the value of
regularity as a personal asset.
David B. Hill was one Of these men.
He regarded Mr.. Bryan as more popu-
list than democrat. But he could not
deny the validity of his nomination,
and so voted for him. Voting, how
ever, was all. "I am still q demo.
crat, ,H.he said during the campaign.

Difused Light.

The light shed upon the subject of
an ideal superintendent by the seventh
witness for the board of education be-
fore the Senate select committee was
rather too diffused to be of real serv
ice to the board at present in its
search for new executive. This wit
ness told the committee that he went
on the board with an open mind few
months after the superintendent's le-
election in 1917. At the end of the
year, asking himself how he would
vote if the matter came up then. he
was "frankly at loss" to make up
his mind. He added:
"On the whole it seemed to me that
things had run smoothly. that Mr.
Thurston had given us, so far as !
could judge, a pretty good piece OF
work as director of the schools, and
l let the matter lapse"
Then gradually his mind clarified
though the process was one of eonfu
sion. it would appear, for the prin
cipal cause of decision was that the
superintendent brought too many
topic. into the boards executive ses
sions for discussion, under a rule
adopted by the board, at the instance
of this witness, providing for cal
endar or docket of subjects. Most O,
these matters, he felt. should hav,
been disposed of outside of the boari
by the superintendent. This witness
proceeded:
"My opinion slowly changed in 19I!
and 1919. I had not made up my mine
with any degree of defniteness unit
comparatively recently, although
should say that about last July-Jun
or JULY came to the conclusion tha

ard to help us constructively in the
welfare of the Washington school chill
dren."
The testimony shows that although
Ceases" occurred from time to time,
the chief fault IN the superintendent,
in this members eyes. lay in his dis
position to report too many items of
business to the board. 1t would seem,
therefore, that the model superintend-
ent now sought should be disposed to
keep the board in Ignorance of most
matters pertaining to the school ad-
ministration, to 60 about his business
without regard for the board. save for
the "high spots" This, of course, pre-
sumes an uninquisitive board, willing
to trust practically all detail to the
superintendent and unwilling to be
consulted on details Of administration.
Inasmuch as the member just quoted
has been named on the board com
mittee to select new uperintendent,
it is to be presumed that he will
search particularly for that type OF
man, and that if his judgment is fol
lowed he will insure future harmony
by effecting a working arrangement
whereby the new superintendent can
reduce his budget of board business
to the minimum.

The Vacant Commissionership.

Speculation as to the power OF the
President to reappoint as District Com
missioner DR.. John Van Schaick, jr,
whose nomination to that office was
lately rejected by the Senate, has dis
closed a singular state of law, which
bears upon the local situation un-
favorably. 1t appears that, in the first
place, under the statutes and practices
of the Treasury Department no man
named to public Office by "reeess ap-
pointment" can draw any pay until
he has been confirmed, with the ex-
ception of officials of the Treasury,
who are exempted specifically by a
particular enactment But it has also
been brought out that decision has
been rendered by a federal district
court, back in 1868, to the effect that
the President cannot legally appoint
to office in recess Of Congress in any
case in which the Senate has been in
session "when or since the vacancy
first occurred"
This decision is based upon that pas
sage of the Constitution-clause 3,
section 2, article (which provides
that "the President shall have power
to fill up all vacancies that may hap
pen during the recess of the Senate,
hr c.ar+;nr oo,,v,, ;,oso,s ,vb;ob oh n II
expire at the end of their next ses-
sion" It is doubtless true that the
principle laid down in the decision
rendered in 1868 has been transgressed
since it was enunciated, and that the
issue has never been taken before the
United States Supreme Court. But
until nullfed by higher ruling it
stands and may be cited in any case
of recess appointment with the rec
ord showing that the Senate was in
session "when or since the vacancy
first occurred"
In the present case the facts are as
follows: Commissioner Gardeners
term expired July 13, 1919. He ten.
dered his resignation September IL
and quit his Office November 25. Con-
gress adjourned November 20 and re-
convened December /. Thus Congress
was not in session when the vacancy
occurred. DR.. Van Schaick's nomina-
tion was submitted December 12 and
was rejected by the Senate May 2s
following. Congress adjourned June S.
The vacancy thus occurred original
ly during recess of Congress. The
nomination was made during the ses-
sion and was rejected seven days be-
fore the adjournment. Had the ap-
pointment been made between Novem-
Der 25 and December l the appointee
could have taken Office and have served
until the rejection Of his nomination.
Now it is indicated by the court pro-
ceedings cited that no appointment
can be legally made nEsil Congress
reconvenes in December. Under this
decision if an appointment is made it
will presumably be subject to chal-
lenge in court on the ground Of il
legality.
