A. Base Ball Nomination.

The suggestion is made that Robert
Il. Young'sof Washington be made
chairman, of, the national base bali
commission, andesthe people of this
city viii be interested to- note3the de-.
velopment of this proposition, FeI
Washington wen !. remembers Mr..
Young'ss father the late "'Nick" Young,
who was for, a long time nationally
identified with the sport as president
of the National League. It would be
altogether appropriate that the son of
a man who did so much to keep the
game clean and to make it popular
and to develop it as the sport Of the
people should now be made the chair
man of what has come to be styled
the supreme court of base bal" :"
Though Washington has never en-
joyed a commanding place in the an
-nual contests for base ball supremacy,
subsisting season after season upon
hopes, it has always taken pride in
the fact that from this city during
the years of its development the game
was so ably directed by "Nick" Young.

not. We have become familiar with
it. Some mobs use it on living per-
son. Others employ it after the rope
or the pistol has done its work. They
throw it in for good measure, az it
were. They are not satisfied until
the dead body has been reduced to
ashes.
There are fat years and lean years,
so to say. The year just closed was
fat as compared with the previous
year. 1t topped its predecessor by
eighteen victims. That many more
persons were done to death by vio-
lence in 1919 than in 1918. Eighty
two is the full number for last year.
This increase is the more discour-
aging from the fact that in the past
few years officers Of the law and pub
lic-spirited citizens Of courage have
shown much activity in efforts to in
fiuence or foil mobs. In some cases
prisoners have been bravely defended
by their custodians, and in a few cases
saved from their pursuers. =

Liberty Bonds a. Reds Bail.

Decision has been announced that
the authorities at Ellis Island will not
accept cash bail for the persons there
held charged with being undesirable
aliens subject to deportation, pending
hearing, but that they will accept lib
erty bonds as. security. Thus, if the
friends Of the "reds" who are awaiting
trial want their precious associates
freed until. decision is rendered they
must invest their cash in the securi-
ties of the United States. This is
proper. II these persons are. in fact,
loyal to the United States they should
be willing to testify to their loyalty
by investment in the bonds Of the
government. They are good bonds,
perfectly good security, provided the
government stands. If it IS over
thrown the bonds. will be rendered
worthless. The rate of bail should be
put high enough to give raasdnable
guarantee Of assurance that the ac-
cused will present themselves oh de-
mand for hearing. The government
should not be compelled to round them
up again. -

Art Gallery's Liberal Policy.

Not content with increasing by
Thousands Of hours yearly the time
in which the public may, during the
day, view the art treasures Of the
Corcoran Gallery, officials Of that in.

Lynching Statistics.

This is from Tuskegee, Alabama:
"The department Of records and re-
search Of Tuskegee University today
issued its annual report Of lynchings
in 1919. According to the report there
were 81 lynchings in 1919,, Of which
n were in the south and 5 in the
north and west. This is 1S more than
the number, GA, for 1918. OF those,
lynched IS were negroes and whites.
One Of those put to death was negro
woman. Nineteen, or less than one
fourth of those put to death, were
charged with assault or attempted as
sault. Seventeen of the victims were
burned to death. Nine were put to
death and then their bodies burned"
Lynching statistics are a strange
feature of country committed as this
country is to. progress. education, law
and order. There are laws covering
crimes great and small There are
courts of justice, adequately oficered.
Their processes are intended to run
without challenge. But, as we all
know, as the record plainly reveals,
they do not. In many instances-far
too many-the courts are openly
moeked. Men of violence band to-
eether, take matters into their own
hands, and, sometimes on mere sus-
picion. take human life. They snap
their fingers in the face Of lawful au-
thority and become . law unto them
selves. T..
As these statistics show, both whites
and blacks-the latter in much the
larger proportion-haye been victims
of mob fury. The tragedies have oc.
cured north, south and west. As
sault, attempted assault, murder
shooting, angry controversy over pub.
lie questions. have led, to such out

Berger Rejected Again.

jection by the House of Representa-
tives for the second time within two
months, Victor Berger was renomi-
mated by the socialists Of Milwaukee
to represent the fifth Wisconsin dis
trict in Congress. This action was
Evidently planned as spectacular de-
lance of the House majority. 1t was
keeping with Berger's recently
Uttered declaration that he would
ave himself elected time and again
seven times if necessary-as often
the House refused him admittance.
does not follow, however, that Ber-
br will be reelected, for the gov
srnor Of the state has expressed a
disposition to refuse to call for
another special election, thus letting
the fifth district 60 unrepresented 50
long as it persists in choosing man
who is under the ban Of the law and
consequently of the House. :,
Berger's rejection by the House is
(nct comparable with the action of the
|state assembly Of New York, which
the other day suspended several So
cialist members who had engaged in
iafraction of rules. Berger is refused
i admittance to the House, now for the
second time, not for anything he has
done in Congress, but because Of the
fact that he stands convicted As a
violator of the lava Of the United
States, awaiting pdaAlhment.
In the New York case the socialists
have viewed the action of the assem-
bly, as . direct invasion Of their rights
Of representation. They claim that
the suspension Of the members was
based upon pretense of misbehavior,
with back Of it design to exclude all
socialists from that body. Some re-
publican leaders have counseled
against the suspension on the ground
jthat it is .calculated to. promote So
eialist activity. The restoration Of the
members. to their seats is likely to fol-
low q means Of allaying the tur-
noil. g
The socialists Of this country have

Befger's case at law cannot be tried

nth Wisconsin. district are making
the efievous mistake Of trying to do
20. Berger has his appeal to higher
ceurts-has, in fact, taken that appeal
and his very. liberty today, though
under sentence, is due to the. protee-
tion Of the law which the socialists Of
his district, under his own guidance,
are faunting by their persistence in
seeking to compel Congress, by ad-
mitting him, to declare him innocent
Of the cSime Of which he has been

The Twenty Four Room School.

Six hundred parents whose children
attend the ]. R. West School are pe.i
titioning the board of education ask.
ing that the size of that building be
increased from eight to twenty -four
rooms. This is. the first definite move.
ment toward the adoption Of the TWEEN
ty-four-room building as . public
school unit in the District. It is not,
however, likely to remain singular, as
the present tendency is toward the
adoption Of that size Of schoolhouse.
In the course Of his recent trip to
other cities to obtain information rela-
tive to plans for relieving school con-
gestion, Supt. Thurston found that the
best results are being obtained from
schools Of this size. The platoon sys-
tenn, which is now being tried here, as
an experiment, haS worked satisfac-
torily in those cities where the TWEEN:
ty-four-foom building has becsme the
rule rather than the exception. It can
not, indeed, be applied to smaller
buildings successfully. ~. &
The larger schoolhouse is the more
economical in construction and. in !ad-1
ministration. Outside Of. the high
school plant Washington has no bsild.
ings Of this size. It's equipnlent con-
sists almost wholly Of eight and
twelve room buildings, with some Of
even smaller size. This Is the result
Of rather casual school building de-
velopment and the lack Of consistent
plan Schoolheuses have been placed.
in the past in such locations rs TO-
prevent enlargement ssve Ats very
great sexpense in the acquisition Of
more ground. IT would, however, be

rAideity bdildinss with slargefs. .son-'
1straetiens, even at the. expense OF

No schoolhouse should bes 50 placed
as: to preclude. the possibility Of am
pie yard provision. The children
should not be forced into the street
for their recreation. A schoolhouse
should be regarded as an institution
Of vital importance, to the eity's well
fare, for the health and safety of the
children are involved as well as their
educational training.
/ These considerations should be
borne in mind in the. development of
the present plans for school better
ment, one feature. Of which il q pro.
vision. Of ample school housing IA
eilities. A broad construction policy
based upon the experience Of other
cities where more liberal and ade-
quate expenditures have been made in
the provision Of school facilities
should be adopted by Congress as the
Districts legislature in response to
the present unanimous demand; by
the people Of Washington. that the
capitals public education system
should be brought mp to date. =. :.
