Conferences on Capitol Hill.

Something that ought to tell on the
legislation of the present Congress is
the good feeling that seems to exist
between the leaders Of the House and
the leaders of the Senate. They con-
fer together. They are often in com
pany together. In this way they have
opportunity, and probably are improv-
ing it, to sound one another on the
questions soon to come formally under
their notice for action.
This is in line with the President =
notion Of things, and in line also with
in conferences. He thinks it con-
tributes to the usefulness Of public
servants to hold pleasant personal and
Official relations with one another.
This state of case on Capitol Hill is
a little unusual. The relations between
House and Senate have, as a rule, been
rather "offish.' Each body has been
so sensitive about its rights and priv
iieges it has suspected the other of a
spirit of encroachment; and some of
the most stubborn conferences between
the two houses on important measures
have grown out Of mere suspicious of
this character.
This new and improved state Of
feeling does not argue. Of course. any
change in the individuality of either
house, or any abatement OF the zeal
OF either to impress itself on the law.
aking activities. In certain matters
the House will continue TO take the
initiative. and as 10 all House work
the Senate will remain the reviewing
body But where men meet often and
exchange views in a spirit of co-opera
iion for the public benefit good is
bound to result.

The Handy Man.
There's a wonderful man with a
mystical art.

He cheerfully wanders around.
He lays down the law with hammer
And his labor seems rather like fun
AS the family gives him a cheerful

Or a window refuses to bulge;

With a smile that turns life into day.

The Visit of Viviani.

Rene Viviani has arrived. What
ever the detailed purposes of the mis-
sion of this former prime minister of
France NAV be-and though much has
been written thereof the bulk of the
writing has been frankly speculative
there is but one main objective to Mr..
Viviani's visit. He comes to us. one
Of the most distinguished of French
statesmen. to obtain and carry back to
his countrymen concrete assurance
that the United States appreciates in
full its obligations to humanity in
general and TO France in particular:
that it proposes. in the immediate and
distant future. to play generous part
in shaping the destinies of civiliza-
ton. He comes, it is understood. pre-
pared to offer such concessions as may
he necessary to satisfy constitutional
limitations upon Americas participa-
ton in world affairs, but he still seeks
the word that will go farther than
any other toward bringing order out
of chaos in Europe. He will plead
that this nation send word to France
and Europe, I'VE do not shirk. We
are behind YOU"
He will not plead in vain. AS a
statesman he is aware of our long
established affection for France and
of the renewed impetus which has
been given to that sentiment in later
days AS a statesman he undoubted-
" gauges correctly this nations un-
qualified interest in the business Of
rendering the world safer and a
happier place in which to live. Con-
fident of those factors. it remains for
him. as a statesman, to help the new
administration in its task of render
ing the abstract into the concrete, Of
so shaping our precise place in world
affairs as to insure the accomplish
ment of that which the world would
be unable to attain without our aid.
The spirit he seeks is here seen as
it was in the hearts Of those who
fought shoulder to shoulder with the
incompatible soldiers of France. It
is here as it was in the heart Of the
American officer who. seated with a
dozen French and American confreres
at table behind the lines. rose in his
turn and recited a toast. scribbled on
the cloth before hm:
I'VE drink to Franceto gallant
France,
Whose white soul, blazing beaconwise,
Leads US in our God-given chance
To fight for all that never dies.
To France, dear France-our sister
land
We pay glad homage, glass in hand"
He need not and he will not waste
a moment in seeking the spirit. But
because the spirit cannot in present
world conditions suffice, he must needs
seek the letter. May he, with those
to whom the affairs of the United
States have been intrusted, find to-
gether that for which our country, his
country and the world is waiting.

The School Emergency.

The new board of Commissioners
now has before it the school building
program proposed by the board of
education some time ago and sub.
mitted by the former Commissioners
to Congress without result. 1t is hop
ed that the plan will be submitted to
Congress anew at the extra session
with appropriate recommendations
looking to immediate action through
emergency legislation.
OF the need of these new buildings
included in the school boards program
there can be no doubt whatever. The
Districts schools are overcrowded to
the point Of impairing the efficiency
of the system. Seats are needed for
ut least 10000 more children. That is
to say. the equipment today is ade-
quate for about $4,000 pupils. whereas
$4,000 are enrolled. This congestion
has been accommodated by the plac-
ing of additional seats in classroOms
and by adoption of the platoon system
and by other doubling up methods.
A heavy strain is put upon the teach
ers and the children are getting poorer
returns in instruction.
This state of things cannot continue
without a breakdown of the Districts
ings are authorized soon on a com.
mensurate scale the District will be in
such heavy arrears that it will be i'm
possible to catch up.
Obviously the new buildings needed
cannot be provided for out of the
current revenues of the District with.
out seriously encroaching upon the
funds needed for other municipal
items. There are two possible means
of meeting this urgent need. One is
to bond the District in a loan for this
particular purpose. The other is to
use on an equitable basis the surplus
District revenue now accumulated in
the Treasury, the use OF which Con-
gress has not permitted heretofore.
An effort was made to secure an ap-
preparation Of this surplus through the
regular appropriation bill enacted at
the last session. but it failed in con-
ference.
AS a business proposition the way
to a solution of this problem would
seem plain. The District must have
these buildings il it is to continue to
give the children the educational facil-
tiles they require. 1t has the money
to its credit in the Treasury, the use
of which has been denied it from
year to year in the past. Why should
it borrower be permitted to borrow
while it has this asset? Why should
it be compelled to wait year after
year for more schools when they are
needed and when the funds for their
construction are available?
The new Commissioners will present
this matter to Congress without doubt
in TERMS Of urgency. The case de-
mands action. based on equity, in the
name of the now insufficiently taught
children of Washington.

The Release of Debs.

| 1t is good to know that the new ad-
ministration is considering the case
. of Mr.. Debs with an open mind and
generous spirit. The permission to
i the prisoner to travel to Washington
/ on parole was unusual; but the result
showed Mr.. Debs's word could be
trusted. He did not run away.
! This leader of considerable party
| in America committed a grave crime
against the state in the course of the
war. for which he was properly con-
victed, and for which he should serve
an adequate sentence-adequate pri-
marily as a warning to all others that
they will not be permitted to strike
down the republic by inciting it's citi-
ZenS 20 disobey laws necessary to it's
preservation. But there is no ques-
tion of the altruism of Mr.. Debs aims
tcr of his purity of character. His
crime was committed through wrong
theadedness rather than through any
evilness of heart.
All these considerations are before
Mr.. Harding and must be given due
weight by him as a part of his exec
utive obligation. His authority is alb
solute and his responsibility CORE
spondingly complete. The length of
sentence which prisoner shall serve
| is always, in every case and at every
moment of sentence. a matter of ex-
ecutive determination. That is the
historic fashion in which an Ameri-
=
adjusted to individual deserts and the
injustice Of rigid sentences avoided.
Age, i'll health, the degree of moral
turpitude involved are all matters to
be considered.
| To Mr.. Harding. possessing know1-
edge of all the surrounding facts, the
country will be glad to intrust this
difficult and highly personal matter
| of adjusting sentence to an indi-
vidual prisoner. If Debs would ac-
