rHRIFT IN PTRLIC EDTCATION

The recent session of the National Education
Association at Washington, D. c., emphasized
the Importance of thrift, teaching economy in
school administration and introduction of uni
versal saving systems.
Arthur H. Chamberlain, chairman of the Ma
tional Committee on Thrift Education, advocates
courses of study on these lines in the school
systems of our country.
General introduction of school saving deposit
systems, with millions of small depositors draw
ing interest; are to be introduced in the common
schools and colleges.
Progressive banking houses are taking up
this matter on practical lines to counteract the
tendency of children learning to spend money
before they have acquired earning ability
The morality and stability of character, to say
nothing about individual honesty and saving
habit, of the child can be conserved by such sys-
TENS for the welfare and prosperity of the indi-
vidual, the family and our country.

SHALL THE DEAF be allowed to operate au-
tomobiles on the highways of Delaware and
other states? This is the query that is made in
a communication to the Chronicle by Mrs Edith
B Jump and which appears in this weeks issue
OF the paper. 1t is indeed unfortunate that any
class of persons shall suffer inconvenience and
hardship through the misfortune of natures fail
Ure to provide all the facilities; but in handling
the traffic problem as it is today cold-blooded
analysis of the situation certainly demands that
stringent regulations be made and enforced. In
so doing it necessarily follows that some few
will sufer-ths is the normal outcome of almost
all legislation regulating the going and comings
of man.
The Chronicle in the past has stood for the
most stringent regulations governing the oper-
alton OF a motor vehicle of any sort; and in this
belief we still urge no let down in the qualifica
tions looking to the license of any man or wo-
man to drive an automobile. We rather would
urge even more stringent rules for the obtaining
Of a drivers license In Delaware at the pres
ent time the person who desires to secure dri-
ver's license to operate an automobile is reQuir-
ed to make affidavit to the fact that he or she is
qualified to operate a car That is all, unless he
is a paid driver when he is compelled to take an
examination These licenses are issued prOmis
culously to all who apply, regardless of color,
or creed; provided the necessary fee accompan-
les the application for the license. We contend
that this is not the proper method of issuing Ii
censes. Every man or woman who desires to Sc |
cure an operators license should be compelled |
to take an examination and qualify before the
license is issued Not only does the driver Of
a motor vehicle need good eye sight and pres
ence of mind to act in any contingency; but all
who drive should have both arms and legs and
be of good character Each and every autOmo-
bile travelling the highways is a potential instru-
nent of death-and in the hands of an incOmpe-
ent, deformed or careless. person it may wipe
,ut the lives of a number of persons within the ,
Yinking of an eye. ;
Do not let down any of the safeguards already {
provided in the issuing of permits to operate au-
Omobiles; but on the contrary, comb the laws
Or defects and make them so stringent that only t
hose who are competent in every respect shall
ecure the necessary right to the use of a car h
IL the highways. This must come sooner or t
lter-the sooner the better. il

A RED RAG is USED to excite bull. The tar
Ill Is used to inhame the public mind.
There is no more reason for the public to get
excited than there is for the bull, as neither the
red rag nor the tariff are dangerous.
Ignorance is the cause of most hardship and
suffering.
A tariff to give reasonable protection to home
industries from unreasonable competition is in
the interest of the workman, good wages and

A MEAN SORT OF DIG

From the Chicago Tribune.
Now New York sneaks in with the announce

enough to keep it quiet.

The ACTIVE SPEAKING CAMPAIGN of the
political parties will not start until after the
candidates on the several tickets have been for
mally notified that they have been chosen by
their conventions. After these notifications have
taken place the country may look for numerous
speakers to appear on the stump and present
the claims of the parties for whom they speak
While it is true that certain men claiming to
represent organized labor have stated their pref
erences, it is well-known fact that labor, that
is the body of men making up the rank and file
of the different organizations, deeply resent the
treatment labor received at the hands of the
Democratic convention when the Davis managers
ruthlessly showed George L. Berry, leading DEM
ocratic candidate for Vice President to one side
for Brother Chas" Bryan, despite the fact that
Berrys friends had been told by the Davis ad-
herents that he, Berry, would make a most ac-
ceptable running mate. Major Berry's slap in
the face by the Davis folks has also caused the
veterans Of the world war to deeply resent the
cruel and unnecessary treatment of one who
served with distinction in the world war
The talk of labor be solid for the Independent
candidate, or any candidate, no one takes SER
iOusly. Labor, farmers, business men, clerks, or
any other body of citizens, cannot be delivered
by anyone to any candidate. American citizens |
cannot be bossed around like sheep. Labor, or
any other body of citizens cannot be fooled by
beautiful phrases or by promises which any
thinking man knows cannot be fulfilled.

AMONG OUR PLEASURES AND EXCITE
MENTS as American people is what is called
Politics" There are elements of sports, gamb-
ling, speculation and all the chances and ups
and downs of a lottery or horse race. Politics
for this reason has fascination that amounts
almost to a passion in the minds of thousands of
good citizens. The conclusion of an exciting race
at the primaries, nominating conventions and
elections always sees a great deal of money
change hands although betting on elections is
strictly forbidden by law The interests of a
great nation of 11OOOOOOO people, with COM
merce running into hundreds of millions and
billions, when we add manufacturing, transpor-
tatiOn, agriculture, mining and public improve
ments, must in the final correct solution of prob
lens become more and more a matter of bust
ness The most serious question before our
country is the relation of our government to
foreign affairs especially the restoration of
fairly normal conditions in the late war-stricken
nations of Europe. Morally, politically and
economically, and above all to ourselves, we owe |
it to the world to aid in bringing this about as
soon as possible. To keep American industries |
and payrolls on a steady foundation to see that |
our farmers and producers have open access for
their surplus products to the markets of the
world, will take something more than the trick
cry of politics. It will take the application of
the best brains and the soundest business prin-
ciples which is craftsmanship far beyond party
lines We must forego the pleasure and excite
ment of old-fashioned politics and serve our
country and the interests of all humanity.

INQUIRIES ON STATUS
OF JAPANESE HERE
Ambassador Opens Correspondence
With Hughes on Provisions
of Pending Bill.

Acting under instructions from his
government, the Japanese ambassador
here has opened correspondence with
the Secretary of State with respect
to the status of Japanese domiciled
or visiting the United States under
existing laws and treaties and has
inquired particularly as to the pro-
visions of the general immigration
bill pending in Congress as applied to
the future immigration of Japanese.
Assurances have been given the
embassy, it is understood. that the
State Department is watching de-
velopments in connection with the
bill, but that It can not at this time
throw light upon what the ultimate
provisions of the bill will be.
There is considerable pressure of
public sentiment in Japan in con-
nection with Japanese exclusion meas
ures in the United States, just as
there is sentiment in the United
States for such legislation. The two
governments are thoroughly ac-
Quainted with the difficulties of the
position in which each stands, how
ever, and officials assert 1t is unlikely y
that the immigration matter will
lessen the good feeling which has
prevailed between the two countries.

Although the property is owned by

No definite figures as to the loss
have been reached. D. J. Callahan,

said today that he thought the
wharves and warehouse were an en-
tire loss. They were covered by in
surance amounting to 100000. Mr.
Midland could be rebuilt. If practi-
cable to replace the superstructure,
he said, the cost would be about
100000. Plans are pending the ar

DENIES MENACE IN PLAN
TO CARRY FLOOD WATER
D. c. Sanitary Engineer Declares
Open Stream Holds No Danger
to Health.

The existence of an open stream to
carry storm water from the end of
the sewer at 21st and A streets north
east TO the river is not a menace to
health, j. b. Gordon. District sanitary
engineer, asserted today
Mr.. Gordon said the best proof of
his statement lies in the fact that the
war department in developing the
Anacostia parkway plans to leave the
stream open.
The stream starts at the outlet of a
2o-foot storm sewer, which is prac-
tcalIy dry, except during heavy rains.
Inc sanitary engineer explained
that very little pollution can flow
into the stream with the storm water
because the storm sewer is intercept
ed by a smaller drainage sewer some
disance back from the outlet
According to Mr.. Gordon, two plans
were submitted to the War Depart
ment several years ago, one calling
for the conversion of the stream into
a closed culvert and the other for its
continued use as an open creek The
War Department engineers, he said,
have decided to adopt the open
scheme.
