mensurate with his demonstrated abili-
ties. The country and the. Army Air
Service will suffer as little as possible
from the fact that he no longer is to
be retained as assistant chief.
Now that the smoke of the recent
battle over aviation has cleared away
the public is able to appraise the air
defense situation with more fairness
than in the heat of the controversy.
1t probably will be the general verdict
that our aviation services are not as
hopelessly inadequate as they had
been pictured, but that there Is room
and necessity for a good deal of i'm
provement. AS to the part Gen.
Mitchell played in the controversy
there is wide recognition that he rem
dered a great public service knowing
as he undoubtedly did, that he would
have to suffer for it. His methods
We're spectacular and some of his
statements were extreme, but spec
tacular methods undoubtedly were
necessary to focus public attention

Several years ago Mr.. Rogers be-
came convinced that the laws provid
ing for the American foreign service
needed overhauling. that steps should
be taken to make Of that service q
career for a young man who entered
either the consular service or the
diplomatic service. AS it was orig
inaily constituted the foreign service
was composed Of two services
diplomatic and consular-which were
in fact widely separated. There was
no interchangeability, even though
the transfer of a man from a diplo-
matte post to a consular post or vice
Mr.. Rogers became convinced there
should be but a single service. al
though, Of course, to conform to inter-
national usage, the offices of consul
and diplomat still remain distinct
Furthermore. Mr.. Rogers believed
that merit and experience, rather than
the possession Of a private for
tune, should be deciding factors in
the selection of men for important
diplomatic posts abroad. 1t has been
notorious for years that no American
without considerable private for
tune could be sent to the Court of
st. James, to Paris or Rome, or any
OF the great capitals. John W. Davis
when he appeared before the House
committee in support Of the Rogers
foreign service bill, after he had been
United States Ambassador in London.
said that he had been forced to spend
$4,000 or 100000 a year out of his
own pocketbook while he was Ambas-
sador. AS the representative of a
great Nation, the Ambassador is ex-
pected to entertain on a large scale.
as do the representatives of other
nations. So Mr.. Rogers made provi-
sion in his bill that the Government
should bear some of the expenses
which hitherto have been paid by the
Vi lHlS
country in foreign capitals.
Mr.. Rogers achieved much for the
foreign service OF the Nation. Yet
the work which he started and to
which the passage of his best known
bill gave such fine impetus must not
be permitted to rest unfinished. There
is much still to be done. The estab-
lishment of suitable embassy buildings
in the foreign capitals of the world
the provision of funds adequate to
their maintenance and operation: in
creases in diplomatic and consular
salaries all along the line to the end
that these careers may attract the
best that our Nation produces in brain
and personality-these are the more
important of the unfinished tasks.
Their accomplishment is essential to
the full realization of Mr.. Rogers ef-
forts to place the American foreign
service on a parity with that of the
other leading nations of the world.

John Jacob Rogers.

An enduring memorial to the late
John Jacob Rogers of Massachusetts
is the foreign service law of the
United States, co-ordinating in a large
measure the diplomatic and consular
services. This law, which bears Mr..
Rogers name, and over which he
labored for several years before it's
final enactment by Congress, has been
in effect a little less than year. It
gives promise, however, Of great
things for the foreign service of this
COUNTRY, and was hailed by former
Secretary Hughes of the State Depart
ment as long step forward.
Mr.. Rogers entered the House of
Representatives a young man a dozen
years ago. His death at the age Of 43
is distinct blow to the public serv-
ice. A student, hard worker of recog-
nized ability, Mr.. Rogers had forged
steadily ahead. He early became in
terested in foreign affairs of the coun-
try, and at the time of his death was
the ranking Republican member of
the House foreign affairs committee
with every prospect Of eventually be-
coming the chairman of that COM
mittee. He was highly regarded not
only by his colleagues in Congress but
10y officials Of the Government gener-
ally. His modest, unassuming nature
was well exemplified in his service as
a private in the Field Artillery dur

The Hampton -Tuskegee Appeal.

wide campaign of Tuskegee and
Hampton Universities which be.
gins this week for raising fund of
S5,0O0,000. President Coolidge has writ
ten letter to the promoters Of the
movement calculated to increase pub
lie interest in it. Washington is being
asked to give 100000 to the general
fund to be shared by these two highly
worthy schools of education for the
colored race
The President points out that Gen.
Armstrong originated at Hampton In
stitute a philosophy of education"
the philosophy Of learning by doing.
1t recognizes that out of the CAPACITY
to do small things honestly and we'll
grows the capacity to do bigger things
better. Booker T. Washington, Gen.
Armstrong; first great disciple, found
ed Tuskegee Institute upon these same
principles. At Hampton and Tuskegee
the Armstrong methods have been
proved by practical application.
President Coolidge describes the
Armstrong philosophy as in its es.
sence the American philosophy" and
declares that American education has
taken no more important step forward
than the introduction of these methods
of teaching into rural county training
schools. He says that America, in
common with many other nations, is
passing through a period Of tendency
to confuse theories and facts. He
takes a pointed thrust at those who
would have us believe that we as a
people can attain 'by wishing. or by
passing laws, or by joining move
ments that which men never have or
can achieve except through hard, in
telligent labor
Tuskegee and Hampton are worthy
of public support because they have
shown that. as President Coolidge
points out, "as a man works, so is he;
that as the Nation does, so will it
prosper"

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL.

Every clod feels a stir of night,
An ns'inct a within i that reaches and towers
ShmDs 10 q soul in grass and flowers
Out in my back yard the peonies
are beginning to come up. The
ground Is terrible, almost as hard as
marble; stuff in which one would
think nothing on earth could grow
But up through that crust the soft,
tender red shoots are pushing. One
day nothing was to be seen. The
neXt-there they were!
Ihe bits Of red are SO soft that
you could easily tear them to pieces
with two fingers. The ground is so
hard that 1T is scarcely possible TO
dig it with a trowel, even this early
in the season.
Aet those tiny things manage to
do what you cannot, pushing up cas-
lily enough through the hard surface
dirt, in answer to that inner urge so
beautifully made articulate by the
poet.
Truly. God works in mysterious
ways his wonders to perform.
This first pushing through the earth
Is the sure sign of Spring, no matter
| what the calendar may say about it,
or the weather wise. The bulbs and
the seeds have felt the stir of might
and are coming up to look about
them in the world of light
Who would say that the new plants
do not see?
Perhaps not. as we see, but as
green, growing things see. Science
has come more or less to the con-
Cluslon, for instance, that the brain
of man is not the only seat of intelli-
sence in the human being
Every cell of the body is endowed
n hat u,
sense, able TO handle particular
problems as they come up. Perhaps
red-blood corpuscle does a better
job of real thinking than a dog or
a cat, despite its hugely simpler
mechanism.
New plants, then. can see and ap-
preciate the light. Eagerly. they
push up, in order to fulfill their func-
tion in nature. No hesitancy is theirs
Boys and dogs may hold them back,
but they cling to life.
They want to see and enjoy the
Light,
The flowers that bloom in the
Spring, ira la, have everything to
do with the case. At least that is
the way 1t seems to me.
Springs flowers have been likened
to the finery OF the new season, to
the gown of the belle, the jewels of
the Madonna, but why should they be
compared to any merely human
adornment?
Earth is not as We are.
Flowers are not earth's dress ex-
cept in our heated imaginations.
Flowers are flowers. They exist by
themselves, as part of the creation,
and that is enough
Ioday they are cropping again above
them for light. Soon. very soon, they
should climb to a soul in grass and
flowers, delighting once more the chill
dren or men, the men themselves, and
especially their woman folks.
There is little doubt that women
are the best appreciators of flowers.
Perhaps better way to put it would
be to say that the feminine quality
in all OF us loves the flowers
Men are not entirely masculine; :;
women are not solely feminine. Both
sexes partake a bit of the nature of
the other If this We're not so, we
never could hope to understand each
other even as well q do not say as
little) as we do.
The rankly masculine is as much a
misft in this world as the intensely
feminine. The former is responsible

Gen. Mitchell's New Post.

When Gen. Mitchell's present as
signment as assistant chief Of the
Army Air Service expires on April 26
he will report for duty as air officer of
the 9Th Corps Area, with headquarters
at San Antonio, Tex. This is regarded
by flying officers as the most impor-
tant field position in the Army avia-
ton service, and while Gen. Mitchell
had expressed a preference for an
other assignment he will, like the good
soldier he is, cheerfully accept the
post to which he has been ordered,
and no one doubts that he will dis
charge its duties efficiently.
It would seem to be a fair judgment
that while his superiors felt it was
necessary to discipline Gen. Mitchell
because Of his course at the congress
eional aircraft investigation, they have
no disposition to persecute him. He
must accept a reduction in rank from
brigadier general to that Of colonel,
but as nearly as could be under the
circumstances he is given duties com.

The More the Merrier.

The estimated population of the Ma
tional Capital is rapidly approaching
the half-million mark. which is ex-
pected to be reached in the next five
years. Between the taking Of the Coy
ernment's census every 10 years tab
is kept upon the growth of the city by
the unofficial census of the takers of
the city directory. The publishers of
Boyd's City Directory, the 1925 edition
Of which is now being circulated, esti-
mate the present population of the
city to be 4S5,375. This approximation
was reached by multiplying the total
number Of individual names in the
city directory. 94,150, by two and one
half to account for the names of wom-
en- and children that do not appear in
the book. The result thus obtained is
estimated as being close to the actual
number of persons in the District of
Columbia.
4 similar method of estimate of the
increase in population since the is
suance Of the last directory indicates
it to be 1856. With a population only
a trifie less than half a million Wash
ineton takes rank with the big cities
of the country. Many of this genera
ton have witnessed the steady growth
Of the Capital occurring under their
very eyes and have taken part in the
material development of the city. The
World War, which brought a great in
fiux Of temporary workers to Wash
ington, no doubt left upon its receding
tide a goodly proportion of the new
comers.
Washington has been a lure TO the
people of the United States for a great

Producers and consumers OF farm
products are giving attention to the
acts and utterances of the new Sec
retary of Agriculture, William Jar
dine. Their interest is reflected in
the comments of the American press
on three things: The investigation
of grain market fluctuations which
the Secretary has ordered, his state
ment in favor of cooperative market
ing and the departments advice
against increased acreage for the
present year.
Commentator OF the proposed
mark citing move is given by the Phil
adeIphia Bulletin, which believes that
If Secretary Jardine insists on the
policy that the farmer needs no spe-
cial favors, and requires nothing
more than fair credit on sound Sc
curity, and opportunity to perfect his
own methods Of cooperative mar
keting, he will go long way toward
putting agriculture in sounder
frame of mind and on a sounder eco
nomic basis" While admitting that
cooperation will attain probably
more than anything else, the Peoria
Journal takes the position that the
farmer, nevertheless, lis the world s
greatest gambler. He CANDLES on the
weather. economic conditions, pub
lie tastes, political affairs, world
jealousies and land values" With a
fair field the farmer will be able to
take care of himself, states the Chat
tanooga News, which urges: stop
the profiteer from preying on the
farmer" 1t is argued by the Utica
Observer Dispatch that the producer
and consumer can be protected only
through more direct handling and
selling. The paper continues: This
is true of all products, either from
the mill or the farm. 1t is a system
that has grown up through the COM
plications of speculation and trade.
To rid ourselves of it is the work of
great minds and careful investiga-
tors"
