OF many men and women as to the
danger OF this momentous extension
OF The franchise. Women have never
been without influence IN our po-

the awakened conscience. the sure i'm

danger there.

ARLINGTON COUNTY
GAINS 5000 SOULS

Arlington county. formerly Alexan-
dria county. Va, gained nearly so per
cent in the decade preceding the 1920
census. according to figures given out
by the Census Bureau this morning.
The total population now is 5000.
as against lo.231 in 1910. and 6.430
in 1900.
Arlington district is credited with
S,547 inhabitants, as against $3.50 in
1910, and 1900 in 1900; Jefferson dis
trict, including the town OF Potomac.
with 3.68s. as against 2,672 in 1910.
and 1913 in 1000: Washington dis
trict. including part of Falls Church.
with 3.S25, as against 1,700 in 1910,
and 1,3I7 in 1900.
One of the most remarkable in
creases in the entire census record is
shown by that part OF Falls Church
contained in the county of Arlington.
The present census records $3.50 in
habitants. In 1910 there were only
1S1 inhabitants in this territory. The
gain has been 1.769 per cent.
Potomac has an even thousand in
habitants in the present census. In
1910 1t had $50.

sired. The voters Of New York and

sired. The voters Of New York and
elsewhere will decide in November.
A league of nations, with or without
reservations, has much interest for
the American electorate. A manda-
tory proposition, whether applied to
Armenia or any other country, pro-
vokes discussion. What America should
contribute in the way of money or
credit toward the restoration of Europe
and the stabilizing of values there is
worthy of examination, and is being
examined.
But the domestic problem over
shadowing those problems. and, for
that matter, all other domestic prob
lens, is that relating to the public
safety, the public health and comfort,
and the untrammeled transportation
of the United States. It should be
settled soon-and this year is a good
time-whether men, upon whose en-
ployment the public depends in very
large measure for what makes life
tolerable, have a right and should ex-
ercise it to carry their contentious
about wages and hours and conditions
of work to the extent of inflicting the
gravest injury on those-the great ma
jority of the people-without blame
or any sort of connection with the
matter in dispute.
There is no question of greater i'm
portance than this to labor. to capital,
or to the general public. For if the
policeman, the coal miner and the rail
road trainman are not in a most hon
orable sense public servants, they
should become such on terms minis
tering to their welfare and increasing
their pride in their citizenship.

Not So Sure Now.

The vets are not as cocky as they
were few months ago. As to Chi
cago they were never boastful. But
as to San Francisco they saw things
at one time coming their way. Today,
the prospect is little blurred.
Tuesday, before the Senate investi
eating committee, the manager Of
Gov. Edwards presidential boom de-
MED fatty a story that the drink traf
ic was financing the governors cam
paign, and went out of his way to
state that the governor is himself a
total abstainer. The fact remains,
however, that the vets would rejoice
at Gov. Edwards nomination.
A wet calculation at the start was
that the south at the convention would
be manipulable on the prohibition
question; that her main concern would
be about success at the polls, and in
an effort to achieve that she would
permit the delegates from other sec
tions to pick the candidates and write
the platform to suit their purposes.
This was erroneous. The Kentucky
democrats at their state convention
were warned by the woman delegates
present that there must be no tamper-
ing at San Francisco with the Vol
stead act, and no pronouncement
against the eighteenth amendment. At
the Virginia democratic convention
Cry sentiment ruled; and at the Texas
convention, while the delegates to San
Francisco were not instructed as to
candidates, they were instructed ito
oppose any platform proposing any
change in the present prohibition
laws"
The south is a prohibition strong
hold, and evidently intends to stand
fast this year Doubtless she wants
democratic success in November, but
does not consider that success is OBJ
tainable by surrender of professed
principles and return to the old and
expensive orgy of unrestrained indul.
gence.

The Commissionership Vacancy.

Rejection by the Senate of the nomi-
nation of Rev. John Van Schaick, Jr.,
for District Commissioner followed i'm
mediately upon the presentation OF
the report Of the select committee
which had been investigating the ques-
tion Of the relations between the
board of education and the superln-
tendent of schools. The committee
having found against the board, and
especially against the head OF the
board, in the immediate issue of school
administration, the argument was Of
fered in the executive session when
THE nomination was finally taken up for
action that DR.. Van Schaick was un-
fitted for the office of Commissioner,
by reason of temperamental disQuall-
fications. /. was reasoned that the
same characteristics and conditions
that had caused trouble in the school
system would cause trouble in the Dis
trict municipal organization. 1t can
not be questioned that as result Of
the school troubles and their exposi-
ton in the course of the committees
investigation DR.. Van Schaick would
have gone into the District building, if
confirmed, with heavy handicap of
popular disapproval and unfriendli-
ness
A question had been raised as to the
sufficiency of his legal residence in
the District, owing to the fact that he
had maintained up to very recent
date voting residence in New York.
There was and is a distinct difference
of opinion in Washington and at the
Capitol concerning his technical eli
gibility.
DR.. Van Schaick merits now the
Judgment of possessing zeal for the
public welfare. He has been active
in many lines of civic betterment. He
has been indefatigable in his associa
ton with important community works.
1t is most unfortunate that his unde-
niably superior qualities have been
coupled with others that have led him
through indiscreet impulsiveness and
a determination to dominate into par
tisanship, unnecessarily provoking en-
mites. A feeling has also obtained
that he has sought his objects with
out sufficiently considering the senti
ment Of the people, without the sup
port of whom no public official can
possibly succeed.
The vacancy remains in the board
Of Commissioners which this nomina-
tion, itself long delayed beyond the
resignation of Mr. Gardiner, was to
have filed, and the Districts business
suffers in consequence. The hope of
the community is that the President
will quickly act to name man as
Commissioner whose confirmation can
be assured, who will command the full
confidence Of all, who is beyond any
possibility of doubt Washingtonian
and who is equipped by experience
and temperament to discharge the diff
ficult and manifold duties Of the Office.

SHOOTING STARS.
By PHILANDER JOHNSON.

Always in the Program.
When people get together in conven-
tions,
The band is always called upon to
play.
The crowd is called with peaceable
intentions,
But results cannot entirely run that
way.
They wave the olive branch with much
persistence;
They bid the joy bells generously
chime,
But somewhere, near at hand, or in
the distance,
They raise the "Anvil Chorus" all
the time.
When enmities to slumber they are
rocking,
When conciliation dominates their
schemes,
Somewhere, somehow, somebody starts
the knocking
And spoils the gentle spirit Of their
dreams.
The good old songs, how often we have
met them,
Where patriots have labored for the
best.
We hear them one by one, and then
forget them.
But the "Anvil Chorus" never gets
rest.
