opinion is that what has proved very
successful in British affairs would not
answer we'll in our affairs.
We attach our higher diplomatic
servants to the President as we do
the members Of his cabinet. We make
them his intimate advisers. We con-
slider that they do their work better
when in full agreement with him on
matters they are called upon to deal
with. They become associated thus
with his administration.
And we may claim, as we do, a graft
flying record under our system. We
have had many men in diplomatic COM
mission at very important posts in
very trying times who gave an admi-
rable account of themselves. They had
had no experience in the management
Of diplomatic business, but relied upon
the natural gifts that had served them
to their distinction in other lines of
endeavor. And their reliance proved
well placed.
Our consular service, which differs,
Of course, from the diplomatic service,
has improved under system of pro-
motions and continuity of personnel.
But there appears no likelihood of a
change in our way Of filling the more
important diplomatic billets.

Cleanup Week.

The Commissioners have asked the
people of the District to make a special
effort during the week beginning May
80 to clean up the city. They plead
for thorough ridding of all the trash
and for the sprucing Of all premises.

ington shines at 100 per cent cleanli-
ness. how will it look on the 18th Of
June, one week later? An annual
cleanup is most valuable II it is q
stimulation of persistent good habit.
The trouble is that folks slump rather
badly in matters Of civic cleanliness.
They have grown somewhat accus-
toned to seeing trash on the streets.
perhaps throwing it about themselves,
and even the day after cleanup week
ends they are not moved to pick up
some disfiguring paper that another
careless person has flung away.
Receptacles for waste are to be
found throughout the city. They are
placed in the parks. They are just the
same relation to the people who move
about town as waste baskets in the
home or in an Office. A good house
keeper does not permit trash to be
thrown on the floor. Perhaps there
are homes where it is the practice to
fling discarded matter behind furniture
and under chairs, but they are rare.
There are undoubtedly many cellars
where trash accumulates and conse-
quently where vermin are likely to
ereed. These need especial attention
during cleanup week.
Dirt has been defined as matter out
Of place." The job for cleanup week
is to put all matter in its place and
thus rid the city Of dirt. Every citizen
must do his part, and then keep on
doing it until cleanup week extends
for all f1fty-two weeks Of the year.

Business and Congress.

There is high authority for the state
ment that business conditions in the
country are improving. Testimony
Of trade.
This is not to say that all anxiety
has ceased. It has not. Earnest and
capable and far-seefng men, with years
of experience and success to sponsor
their views, still advise the utmost
care on the part Of both the industrial
world and the political world in what
they do at this grave time. A hasty
or ill-advised step on the part Of either
might bring on widespread disaster.
In this connection the situation on
Capitol Hill is assuring. Differences
Of opinion as to men and measures
are showing, as, indeed, they should.
Unanimity would be a bad sign. It is
to the public advantage that "many
men Of many minds"-and some of
them very able minds-should deal
with the questions presented to them
with courage and frankness.
But these men are meeting this obli-
cation in spirit devoid of the usual
partisan warmth. All alike seem to
realize that the country is face to face
with an unprecedented situation, and
one that calls for conferences, con.
citations and compromises.
The way leading back to the middle
Of the road is not a smooth highway
lined with primroses. 1t has yet to
be traced; and there is every reason
to believe that it will prove to be
rough and bumpy. But. at whatever
sacrifice or discomfort. we must make
the trip; and it is the power Of Con-
gress to help out very considerably.
Hence the value of the spirit now in
exercise among the legislators.

calls an "example''-ehould sell or

Justice Ashley N. Gould.

In his service on the District Su.
preme Court for nearly nineteen years
Judge Ashley NJ. Gould demonstrated
the possession Of an exceptional judi
cial qualification. His decisions were
sound. his knowledge of the law was
broad. and he was courageous and fair
in his Interpretation Of the statutes.
He was in all essentials Of long resi-
dence and familiarity with local con-
ditions Washingtonian, though off,
cially a Marylander. Preceding his
service on the bench with two years
Of duty as District attorney, he had
qualified himself with intimate &C.
quaintance with the procedure Of the
court upon which he was called to
service. Many important cases came
decades Of judicial duty. He was re-
Quired to render opinions affecting
immense values, and he often pre-.
sided at trials of cases celebrated
throughout the country. Whether in
matters great or small, he was pains
taking in his attention to the issues
involved. and his rulings, rarely re-
versed on appeal. were recognized as
the expressions OF conscientious judg-
ment, impartial and carefully pro.
nounced. The failure Of his health
had seriously handicapped him in his
judicial work for some time, but there
was no thought of the possibility of
an early fatal termination. His death,
therefore, greatly shocked the com.
rnunity. in which he was held in high
esteem and which regarded him as q
faithful and conspicuously able public
servant.

Catching Up on School Arrears.

Senator Curtis amendment to the
deficiency bill, introduced yesterday
in the Senate, provided for an imme-
date appropriation of $1,549.000 for
public school extensions and for 'au-
thorizations" for about 100000 worth
of school work for future construc-
ton. These amounts total the same
as the estimates recently submitted
by the Commissioners, after confer
ences with the school board. The only
difference lies in the separation of GER
tain of the projects from those to be
Immediately started.
The process of catching up with
the school needs is likely to be ex-
tended over a number Of years. If
the additions to the plant are provided
for regularly, each year lessening the
degree of arrears, the congestion will
be annually diminished until, in per-
haps the course of decade. the Dis
trict will have been brought up to
date in it's public educational equip
ment.
Heretofore the annual additions to
the school plant have been little less
than the needs, the arrears increasing
annually. In other words, the school
system has not grown as rapidly as
the city. Despite repeated appeals
for larger annual allotment Of funds
for construction, Congress has failed
to realize the necessity and the ar
rears have steadily grown. During
the war period the conditions were in
comparably bad. No new building
could be undertaken then on account
Of the shortage Of labor and the ex-
cessive cost of construction. The city,
however, grew at a more rapid rate
than ever before. and the school con-
gestion became scandal.
Now it is accepted at the Capitol
that the District must be relieved.
The schools must be multiplied, old
buildings enlarged and new ones pro-
vided and sites obtained for still fur
ther additions. Thus there is great
satisfaction in the evidence afforded
by the pending amendment that the
process Of catching up with the ar
rears is at last to be begun and the
school system given its needed equip
ment. The District will be patient
if the process is continued. year by
year, until the local school plant is
brought up to the mark, which should
be attained as quickly as the condi-
tion of the local and federal treasures
permits.

magazine editor, both of whom were
|signally successful.
The new ambassador to Italy is
Richard Washburn Child. editor and
writer of fiction. who succeeds Robert
Underwood johnson, magazine editor
and poet. The new minister to China
is Jacob Gould Schurman, who, al
though not an editor in the usual
service. has contributed much to cur
rent literature and has done much
editorial work.
1t happens that Messrs. Harvey. Child
and schurman were all intimately
connected with Mr.. Harding's cam
paign. and SO it cannot be inferred
from their appointments that Presi-
dent Harding will make his future
diplomatic selections along literary
or journalistic lines. But it is a sign
Of the times. especially in America
and France, showing how closely the
interests of government and trained
publicity are working.
To the extent that the public serv-
ice profits by the work of efficient
men this tendency is good, but 1t does
not help either journalism or litera-
ture, for when an editor takes Office
he loses his value as an editor.
Usually he recognizes this fact by
giving up his editorial connections,
which is a public loss. for it is easier
