W. P. E. CLUB ENrERrA,Ns

We are not enlightened as to just
what W. P. E. stands for, but it is the
name of the boys club Of the high
school, and judging from the manner
In which the boys entertained their
parents and friends on Wednesday
evening at the high school auditorium
with original talks. we all concluded
that those letters stood for at least
Improvement in public speaking, con-
Quoting meeting, etc.
George Condit occupied the chair
and conduted the exercises in truly
fine manner. The boys taking part
gave original talks that were both in
strnctive and amusing The debate
by four boys on the question, "Resol-
we'd that the several states should
adopt Industrial Courts similar. to the
Kansas plan." handled their Subjects
In manner which showed much on
thought and study on the partbof the
boys. and fine training by theif direc-
tor, Miss Henline. The dicisi3n was
unanimous for the afarative although
the boys on both sides offered some
good argument. Whitney Borland
gave a lesson in Parliamentary Drill
and allowed the boys little practice
along that line which resulted in o
little fun for the boys and audience.
This is the first public entertainment
given by the boys since their orgsni-
sation. but Il was promised thst Il
would not be their last Z

the Spanish authorities, after munh
elaboration, gave their votes 70
Prince Leopold Of HohenxolIern a
relative OF King William Of Prussia
To this the French made a vieorous
protest on the ground that this would
tend to a union Of interests between
Germany and Spain, and thus be in
furious to the honor and influence of
France; consequently the Frech am
bassador at Berlin was ordered by
Napoleon III to demand of King Will
liam that he should not allow Prince
Leopold to accept the Spanish crown.
To this the king replied that he was
not at liberty to prevent an act which
he had never advised.
While this reply was in transit,
Prince Leopold sent word declining
the honor Of tho Spanish cortes.
Not content with this. q second de-
mand was made on King William.
which required him to give q pledge
that no prince of the house of Hohen-
xollern. should ever become O. candi-
date for the Spanish throne, and 1t
was said to have been delivered to
him in a very discourteous and in
sulting manner, while he was on the
public promenade. This was on the

The Greater Washington.

In his course of his talk before the
other night at Cherrydale, Va, Charles
Moore. chairman of the Commission
of Fine Arts, broadened the vision Of
his hearers to the perspective of the
capital of future years. He referred
10 projects that are now either in the
making or in contemplation that will,
when completed, add richly to the at
fractions. not only of the District, but
of the adjacent region. In this con-
nection Mr.. Moore said:
Washington will contain a million
people within the lifetime of our chill
dren, and no provision we may make
today will be adequate for them
We should at least provide for present
needs.
1t is urgently important TO bear In
mind this fact, so pointedly stated.
Washington will grow in time to the
million point-nut the Greater Wash
fngton that includes portions of Vir-
ginia and Maryland. but the Wash
ington within the walls so to speak,
within the curtailed boundaries of the
original ten miles square. And the
population of that Greater Washing
ton will he far more than a million.
In all directions the capital COM
munity, District, Virginia and Mary
land, is increasing in popula ton.
Homemaking is progressing at a rate
that three or four decades ago would
have been considered impossible.
The particular community in which
Mr.. Moore delivered his address is an
example of this development. A quar-
ter of a century ago it was under the
blight of evil conditions, the resort
Of lawbreakers and law-defiers. a ring
controlled county that could not pos
sibly prosper until the state interviewed
and effected a clearance. When once
these conditions were corrected Alex
andria county, now Arlington county,
recovered and went ahead rapidly
Now it is active, thriving, growing,
with keen civic spirit and deep inter
est in the general welfare, not alone of
the immediate region, but of the
whole capital.
Cooperation will be nece ssary to
effect the development of which Mr..
Moore spoke the other night. those
in the two states working with those
in the District to the end of making
the Greater Washington that is the
hope and ideal of all.

l love the man who comes along
And tells me all about it.
His reason why I'm right or wrong
I hear and cannot doubt it.
I plod along and read with care,
In quest of information.
He gets enough and some to spare
By idle contemplation.
Just what is bad and what is good
He speedily determines.
If they would hear him talk, he could
Placate the French and Germans.
He knows how quarrels should be met
When swords in menace glisten.
The trouble is. he cannot get
The proper folks to listen.
He knows the laws Of every land
And those Of every village.
HID check, if he had full command
All tendency to pillage.
He knows what art and literature
Should offer to the classes,
And easy methods to secure
Contentment for the masses.
I throw my little book away.
It holds no thrill inspiring.
I'd rather be from day to day
His auditor admiring.
So positive is every plan
He makes, dare not flout it.

Who tells me all about it.

Herrin Verdict Characterized as
Miscarriage of Justice.

The verdict Of acquittal in the first
Of the trials of the men indicted for
the murders at the Lester strip min Q
in Williamson county, Ill, last June,
has been warmly denounced by most
of the newspapers of the country. 1t
is accepted that inasmuch as the state
placed it's strongest cases on trial
first there can be little doubt that no
one will ever be punished for the mob
outrages.
OF course "Herrin acquits herself"
argues the New York World, in char
acterizing the verdict as "a defeat for
States. There Is no doubt that the
murder was committed. There can be
no doubt that there are plenty of wit
nesses who could have placed the
guilt where it belonged. The Ku
Klux Klan at Mer Rouge and the
lynch-law government of Harrison
will both derive comfort from this
modern example of the power of a To-
cal group to commit crimes of vio-
lence and then clear itself technically
in the courts Yet this may not be
the end of the story. The alibis of
the Mer Rouge khan have already be-
gun to crack at the seams. At Herrin
the whole town carries the burden of
a guilty conscience, which should
bring further revelations before the
case Is forgotten" To which the so
cialistic New York Call replies that
the Jury was representative of Will
Hanson county, where the facts are
best known. The Herrin acquittal Is
more than a vindication of the tradi-
tional American right of self-defense.
1t is a crushing condemnation Of the
practice Of protecting property with
privately employed gunmen, who
usurp the police power of the state
and In nine out of ten cases deliber-
ately provoke violence to prolong
their jobs The real responsibility for
the deaths at Herrin rests squarely
upon the shoulders Of w. ]. Lester
and those behind him, who imported
armed thugs into a peaceful commu-
nifty. And Lester and his associates
are the men who should be in the
criminal dock NOT the five miners
just acquitted"
This acquittal is received by the
Springfield Republican as a bitter
travesty on justice in the state OF
Illinois. Yet the circumstances Of the
acquittal are peculiar. The jury was
composed of farmers living in VIII
Hanson county, where the massacre
of the non-union miners took place.
Farmers are not usually sympathetic
with labor unions or with rough
treatment Of scabs and strikebreak-
ers. One is driven to the conclusion
that the jury found the legal evidence
against these five defendants insult
fcient to warrant a verdict of guilty
beyond a reasonable doubt. Convinc-
ing aYidence that might have been

French occupation of the Ruhr was
not altogether unwelcome to the Cuno
government and the big industrial
leaders who are it's mainstays. In all
past negotiations with respect to rep
arations the French have held the
threat Of occupation as a trump card
in reserve, and SO long as it was
tage over their adversaries. Now,
with this trump card played. the
French must win with it or else oc-
cupy a less advantageous position in
future negotiations. And the Ger
mans do not believe the French can
make occupation win. They recognize
that they must suffer for the present,
but in the long run they think they
will gain. and a reparations bill
amounting to more than thirty billion
dollars is decidedly matter to be
considered in it's long-run aspects. No
conceivable damage resulting from
French occupation Of the Ruhr would
overcome the advantage of substan.
tial reduction in the reparations total.
On the face of 1t, therefore, Ger
many can well afford to let matters
progress a considerable distance be-
fore mediation would work to her ad-
vantage. And the French. of course,
are not going to admit defeat thus
early in the game. They have no
choice now but to play out their hand,
for admission of their inability to col
lect reparations would involve admis-
sion of Germany's inability to pay.
and reduction in the reparations total
would follow as an inevitable conse-
quence.
The time may come when the United
States government can play a helpful
part in bringing about settlement Of
the reparations problem. And when
that time comes we will be in a much
better position to help if we have not
prejudiced our good offices by thrust
ing them forward before either party
is in mood to welcome them. Diplo-
macy is still game which has to be
played with care and circumspection
and with some knowledge of facts and
circumstances.
