Relative to Reserve Camps.

Speaking to the graduating class at
Annapolis recently, President HARDING G
gave expression to certain fundamental
which, obviously appropriate to that
occasion, apply with equal force to the
subject of the reserve training camps
to be held this summer throughout the
country.
"A good deal is said nowadays about
the NATURALIZATION and the brutality
of preparing for defense" said the
President. II know of nothing nobler
in this world than the defense of ones
own country. There would not
be any civilization today if men were
not willing to give their all for the
preservation and life of the country.
We must always be ready to
preserve and to maintain the things
upon which our civilization rests.
y l promise you that while 1
am your commander you will never be
called upon to fire a gun except you
can do it with the consciousness that
you are right
The young men of Washington are
at this time faced with the making of
a decision as to precisely what their
individual responsibility in regard to
national defense involves. They have
been told by Gen. Pershing, upon
whose shoulders rests the task OF pre-
pairing to defend the nation in any
future crisis, that his plans are in the
final analysis utterly dependent upon
their response to the invitation to as
sist in the building of an effective re-
serve. To that assertion is now added
the pronouncement by the President
of the truth concerning national de-
fense.
The encampment at Meade in August
offers many inducements to the young
men Of Washington to apply for ad-
mission. The month of training will,
in itself, substantially benefit each par
ticipant. But the biggest thing that
any graduate from the camp will take
away with him will be the proud con-
sciousness that he has fulfilled a high
responsibility Of citizenship-and that
in so doing he has given the lie to
those who have insulted both his
patriotism and his intelligence in be-
lieving that he would welch.

The School Appropriation.

Passage by the Senate of the de-
ficiency bill carrying a liberal appro-
priation for District school extension
leads to the expectation Of early relief
from the distre sfng- congestion in the
local school system. The adoption of
this item by the Senate means that it
must pass the conference stage, but
there is no reason now to doubt its
acceptance by the House conferees.
The need is so obvious and so urgent
that no ground whatever is afforded
for opposition. 1t is gratifying that
the Senate accepted the Commission
ers' estimates. which in round terms
involve S1,5O0,O00 for immediate ex-
penditure and s4O0, 900 more in the fu-
ture, practically as submitted. The
estimate was not the full amount
actually required. The work provided
for by the item now carried by the
bill does not include all that is needed.
The sum appropriated is, however,
about all that can be effectively spent
at once. and the work that it will yield
ton to care for the present school
population, without the seriously
handicapping makeshifts of double
time and half time that have been en-
forced of late. Evidence of the SEN
ate's disposition to provide for the
requirements of the public educational
system Of the District appears in the
inclusion of an item of $4,000 for the
purchase of site for branch of the
Public Library in the southeast Sec
ton.

Keeping Washington Clean.

The Commissioners are bent upon
keeping the city clean, now that it has
been scraped and trimmed Of refuse.
Early Sunday morning special gang
will be sent out to clean the streets
in the downtown district of the trash
that accumulates from the Saturday
night crowds. Furthermore, the police
have been instructed to enforce strict
ly the regulation against throwing
waste paper or any other litter on the
streets or the sidewalks.
Probably few people know that a
fine of 81 to 500 may be incurred by
throwing litter of any kind upon the
streets. This is doubtless because it is
seldom applied. Very few arrests have
been made under this regulation. A
roundup of all the trash -throwers
who can be reached, however, and the
application of the fine, would make the
rule so public that all would realize
the risk involved in tossing trash into
the street.
But this is not matter of keeping
out Of court or avoiding fines. Every
body should take pride in the appear
ance of the city. A sheet of paper
blowing about the streets is an un.
slightly thing, and. in fact, dangerous
because such trifles have caused the
frightening of horses and tragic run
aways. The sheet of paper can be
wadded or rolled tightly and disposed
of in manner to prevent it littering
the streets.
So the city will be brought to the
nearest possible approach to strict
cleanliness tomorrow morning. and
then the police will try to keep it clean
by arresting those who ignore the rule
and throw trash into the streets. 1t
seems strange to have to threaten peo-
pie with punishment for a practice in
the open that they would never in.
dulge in behind doors. All that is
asked is that people will observe the
same rule about the streets that they
do about their own homes.

Protection, therefore, has come to

Ihere Is good deal in the policy for

manufacturing and commercial inter-

much for her interests.
Indeed, without her support protec.
ton has already done a good deal for
her interests. For, when properly ae.
Piled, as it has been under republican
rule, the policy has conferred benefit
on all parts Of the country. 1t is truly
national in concept and beneficence.
But the time has come when the
south has opportunity to assist in sup.
porting what has proved its value so
conspicuously. A tariff measure re-

tariff law will soon be put upon its

The South and Protection.

The Southern Tariff Association wfll

today, and announcement is made that
this will be 1.-The beginning Of a series
of similar meetings to be held in the
states throughout the south for up
building the sentiment for a perma-
nent tariff policy for protection Of
southern industries"
The Star has several times welcomed
the growth of protection sentiment in
the south, and pointed out its justi-
fication. There is every Justification
for the existence of the sentiment, and
every reason for its expansion. That
part Of the country long since ceased
to be huge plantation, with cotton as
priv owner and overseer, and has

Congress and Lynching.

This is the anti-lynching plank OF
the Chicago platform:
I'VE urge Congress to consider the
most effective means to end lynching
in this country. which continues to
be a terrible blot on our American
citizenship. The equality of all cit
izens under the law has always been
a policy of the republican party.
Without obedience to law and main
tenance of order our American insti-
tutions must perish. Our laws must
be impartially enforced and speedy
justice should be secured
As yet nothing has been done about
this. The railroad problem, the tariff
problem. the problem of taxation and
the problem of economy, all of them
mentioned in the platform. and all of
them highly important, have been
taken in hand, but not the lynchins
problem.
That is an important problem, too,
political nor sectional problem. nor
any longer confined to the most abhor-
rent of crimes. Lynching is now no
respecter of sections or of offenses. It
and takes it's victims for any cause or
no cause.
The problem is growing in size and
difficulty. Lynchers no longer wear
masks or wait for night. They assem-
able and go about their hideous busi-
ness in bare faces. They are as heed
less Of recognition in the presence of
officers Of the law as in that of curb
stone or roadside observers. And vet
the old form verdict Of the coroner's
jury remains unchanged. The lynch
ers are never known to that tribunal,
which exhausts itself in reporting the
fact Of the crime.
This is not an easy piece of business
for Congress to handle. But there is
a pledge out, and the necessity for its
redemption is Of az binding a character
as any upon which the party now in
power obtained its power.

SHOOTING STARS.
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON.
A Fair Question.

Shall we not be merry, friend.
Even though no strains ascend
AS in ancient days Of cheer,
When the troubadours drew near?
Even though no bard is led
Where baronial feasts are spread
Love endures and so does wit,
For the choicer spirits fit,
There are still adventures bold
Worthy to be finely told
AS times stream flows on its way
Still the sunlit ripples play
And the blossoms fragrance yield.
In our thought as in the field,
Though expression lack the grace
OF remembered time and place.
Shall a world that smiles 50 fair
Only bring regrets and care?
Grief, like joy, must have an end.
Shall we not be merry, friend?

The Railroaa Wage Cut.

An average Of IL per cent reduc-
ton in the wages of the railroad
workers does not measure up to what
the railroad managers have declared
to be necessary. Still it is estimated
that it will total saving of
s4oo, 900. 900 in the aggregate cost of
railroad operation in the country, and
if the national working rules have
been as burdeneome As has been
claimed. their revision will add fully
as much more to the relief OF the
operating probiefn.

been ordered does not cover in full,

Germany and Talaat's Crimes.

When few days ago Solomon Tell
rian, an Armenian lad. was put on
trial in Berlin for the murder Of Talaat
Pasha, former Turkish grand vizier,
the press Of the German capital, voic-
ing. it is believed. the public sentiment
Of that country, demanded his acuuittal
on the ground that he had slain the
exiled Turkish leader because of his
crimes against the Armenian people,
Teilirian's own mother had been slain
most brutally in one Of the Armenian
massacres. He had witnessed the
tragedy and other horrible scenes. He
testified that the spirit of his murdered
mother had appeared to him and in
spired him to slay Talaat. On Friday
he was acquitted and this verdict was
received with general appreciation by
the German people.
It may be wondered whether many
Of the Germans who express their SYM
pathy for the assassin Of Talaat were
aware that their government utilized
the services of the Turkish butcher in
enlisting Turkey as an ally in the
great war; that Talaat's genius for
cruelty was an asset reckoned upon
by the government at Berlin as
factor for victory; that the German
ambassador at Constantinople was in
effect Talaat's real controller and that
at any word from Berlin the policy of
the Turkish government in the matter
of the Armenians would probably have
been changed.
