SAFE AND SANE FOURTH
Police Head Again Calls Attention
to Regulations Governing
Fireworks Here.

Maj Daniel Sullivan. superintendent
Of police, expects tomorrow's celebra- :
ton will be safe and sane Such
celebrations have been had the past
few years. and the fact that explo-
sives are obtainable at nearby points
in Maryland and Virginia is not ex-
pected to result in wholesale viola
tions of the safe and sane regulation.
In order to again remind the resi-
dents of the District of the provisions
of the regulation, Maj: sullivan TO-DAY
had the regulation printed in the de-
partment'S bulletin.
The regulation reads: NO frework,
squib or other fireworks NOR noise
making explosives of any kind shalt
be sold and delivered. discharged or

One-Man Car Torture.

WYE WELCOME the Brookland Citizens AS
w sociation to the ranks. of those who op-
pose the confinement OF human beings in chicken
coops. Unless the traction companies forced
TO discontinue them altogether it will not be long
before one-nan cars will be shimmying along on
the Brookand line. They profitable we
understand, than two-man cars, and street rail-
ways not for charity. Brookland people
must fight or walk later-and when winter
comes walking will not be SO pleasant it is these
frosty autumn mornings. We take it for granted
that the good people of this section of the Dis
trict will walk rather than allow themselves to be
Gagged in poultry pens
We understand that the strike of the populace
against one-man is gaining considerable i'm
petus. Many are taking advantage of the oppor-
tunity to fill their lungs with Gods fresh air and
at the same time help deliver knockout blow
against the chns of the traction interests. The
people of Washington are thoroughly disgusted
with the nauseatng rides on these rolling, rock
ing, tossing cars, filled with foul air and progress
ing with about the speed of crippled snails.
Sometime ago we stated that ride on
of these cars disturbing to the
stomach than voyage overseas in the odorous
depths of an army transport during the war. The
statement not intended rhetorical exag-
geration but a plain statement of facts. Since
then have received a number of letters from
world veterans upholding our judgment in the
matter. To the of uniformed humanity
locked below decks the voyage overseas as
near an approach to hell on earth mortals ever
experienced But they comparatively COM
Portable compared to the passengers a crowded
one-man
Let hear from other citizens associations
on this question The elimination of one-nan cars
is vital to the health of the District. Now is the
proper time to force them off the streets. This
can be accomplished by united effort the part
of all the people by continued protests and by the
formation of walking clubs in every neighborhood
cursed by the presence of these wave-tossed
chicken coops. 1t is inconceivable that any person
in reasonably good physical condition would hes-
tate to walk one or two miles every morning and
evening rather than submit to the discomfort of a
one-man
The traction companies will not one-man
cars when they find that the people will not ride
in them. But long paying number of pas
sengers are obtained it is not likely that the in
strurnents of torture will be abandoned. Many Of
them now are on the market. They have been
forced out OF other cities and for sale cheap.
They will be purchased and introduced in Wash
ington if the citizens will allow it.

More Stringent Laws Needed.

THERE is little enough District police do
to end the gambling nuisance across the
Maryland and Virginia borders. They only can
cooperate with the State county officials. They
only can deal with the tragic aftermaths OF the
gaming tabe-the murder, the suicide, the assaults,
the thefts Their hands are tied when it to
getting at the cause. But at least they put an
end to the sempublic craps shooting and card play
ing in open stretches beyond the Anacostia River
we'll within District territory.
Congress Heights citizens making worth
while effort to put an end to this nuisance. They
have gone far to purchase gambling re-
sort that they may appear as prosecutors when ar
rests are made. These people deserve all the CO.
operation which police OF the Eleventh precinct can
give them
But they see clearly that the only permanent
remedy lies in more stringent laws against gam
bling Little purpose is served when arrests are
made and the dropped. Sunday morning the
police took four gamblers into custody-and let
them go when they deposited So collateral each.
Each of these gentlemen if he was lucky, made
more than So out of the game Such punishment
will not stop gambling in the District 1t will be
considered rather laughable by professional craps
shooters and card players. But the police, pres
ent. could not have done differently.
The Congress Heights district offers better op-
portunities for a gambling rendezvous probably,
than any other section of Washington. 1t is al
most rural. The citizens faced with parteu-
larly difficult task in dealing with this nuisance
because of the wide open spaces where the men
get together. The police. of course, can make
attendance at these games less desirable for
sional patrons. But they cannot stamp out the
practice entirely until they have forcefu laws
upon which to act. The citizens are in the same
position
1t is dscouraging to appear in court as wit
nesses for the prosecution and wait in vain for the
culprit to appear. But he would be foolish
gambler who would face judge in order to get
back S3-an insignificant in comparison with
the amount OF money he may have won or lost
before the police broke up the game Men who
shoot craps and play cards for a living arc not
made of such material. The Congress Heights
citizens right Only more stringent laws will
remedy the situation 1t is a nuisance. 1t is evil
Therefore see why more stringent
laws should not be had.

celebrated museums of which its citizens
proud. We have however, colec-
ton of antiquities in which pride be taken.
Washington is Antiquarian of outworn educa-
tional machinery.
Superintendent of Schools Balou points out
this fact forcefully for the benefit of Congress in
the last section OF his annual report. The crying
need is not for patches the present system
but for entirely system. The schools of
Washington cannot be run effectively by methods
which efficient in 1906. Since that time the
city undergone the greatest growth in its his
tory. The difference between the Washington of
twenty years ago and the Washington of today is
tt: difference between small, sleepy, provincial
cit and progressive world capital
For a decent school system, DR.. Baou points
out, here two fundamental prerequisites. First
must have comprehensive, we'll defined edu-
cational program. Second have sufficient
financial backing to support such a program.
Neither of these is possible under the present
system.
The worst drawback from which Washington
schools suffer today is division of authority The
Board OF Education members, who should be
thoroughly familiar with the requirements, can
make up their minds to what is needed and
form accurate estimates of how much this will
cost. But they must convince the District Com
missioners and national officials, the Comp
troller OF the Treasury Tor instance, that this
money is essential before their requests even are
placed before Congress. The result is they never
get what they want what they need. The
schools suffer. The teachers suffer The children
suffer. There is question as the need of a
new system Upon this everyone is agreed. The
only question is to how soon it can be obtained
The Encyclopedia of Education, quoted by DIR.
Baou. described the present system properly:
THE term Board OF Education Tin the District
OF Columbia) is misnomer, for the board is with
out power. and is little more than board of
school visitors. Courts and Commissioners review
its decisions; Treasury officials may reduce its es-
tlra,- and the board has authority to make
4 sing purchase. The board has no treasurer
aud! o. business manager, architect, funds or prop
er;y Its one noneducational officer is a secretary,
"Fc S also member of the District supply COM
- On and acts Intermediary between the board

The confusion existing is hardly credible
Authority and responsibility are hopelessly tied I'D
with red tape. The bureau methods in use are
entirely inadequate the task An attempt is
made TO manage large city school system with
small town methods, and the result is disastrous
Educational conditions in the City of Washington,
from an administrative point of vew are among
the worst to be found in any city in the Union ;"
The Herald agrees most heartily with DR..
Balou new system is vitality needed and the
sooner 1t becomes fact the better for all con-
cerned.
