laying off permanent repair gangs
later to make up for the employment
of extra gangs to meet the immediate
emergency, yet if such a course is the
inevitable consequence to bending
every effort to the repairing of the
damages incident to an unusual Win
ter as speedily as possible, the dictates
urge its adoption.
There is no question but that the
roads under consideration are today
in very bad condition, and that driv-
ing upon them for pleasure is in a
majority of instances unthinkable.
To. those who must of necessity
travel certain of the roads a con-
tinuation of their present condition
means both discomfort and substan-
tial expense in the matter of motor
repair bills-inconveniences in certain
instances aggravated by genuine
danger. And it is patent that the
longer the work of repair is delayed
the worse the roads in question will
cost of repairing them will be.
With the truism that the economic
secret Of macadam road maintenance
is SO promptly to patch the slightest
erosion as to make extensive repairs
unnecessary at any time, the Office
of the engineer of highways is en-
tirely familiar. The present condition
of Washington's suburban roads is in
nowise indicative of failure to ap-
preciate that sound principle to which
the splendid European roads are
testimonial, for of necessity road re-
pair in the District must be in a large
measure halted during the Winter
months. Yet by the same tokens which
make that truth obvious it is obvi-
Gus that the wise course is thor
oughly to repair the local roads as
rapidly as possible. that the business
of maintenance may then be carried
forward at a minimum of expense.
1t would be matter for regret if,
in order to carry out such a program,
the efficiency of the permanent sub
urban highway gangs should suffer
through the necessity for laying off
certain elements OF the organization
prior to July !. If any way can be de-
vised to avoid such contingency, it
should be utilized, for there is plenty
of work for all. But il none can be
found, then it would seem that, from
the viewpoint Of public convenience
and safety and economy. the lesser
evil would be to hurry the repair job
at this time in every way possible
and then maintain the repaired roads
with a curtailed force until the new
funds are available.

Anti-Aircraft Tests.

In the demonstration of anti-aircraft
batteries against planes at Langley
Field on Friday the reports have it
that the guns did not distinguish
themselves. There have been reports
OF effective firing against targets
towed by airplanes, but in the light OF
this test it would seem that the con-
ditions must have been very favorable
from the anti-aircraft viewpoint. An
official report Of the test at Langley
Field has not been made, but unofficial
reports say that SO shots were fired by
3inch anti-aircraft guns and no hit
made. There is some complaint that
the shell fuses were erratic. 1t seems
also to have been said that the gun
ners were handicapped by high wind.
1t cannot be expected that hostile
planes will pick weather favoring land
gunners. There is a growing under.
standing in Congress and. among the
military that the fast-hying airplane,
able to change direction in a second,
is hard target night or day. With
development in the art Of directing
bombs the airplane has apparent ad-
vantage over guns. The question OF
airplanes and land batteries, or planes
and ship guns, is, of course, one to
be determined by men of military
training, but the civilian public has
the right to expect that the matter

ried to victory. There are differences
among the Democrats over so-called
liberal and conservative issues that
make the rows among the Republic
ans, conservative and liberal, seem
mild.
The appeal of Mr. Roosevelt is that
the Democratic party shall be the lib.
eral party Of the country. But how,
and to what extent, are questions that
may give the proposed national con-
ference much labor. The great diff
Guilty in the last campaign lay in the
fact that the Democrats occupied mid
die ground, between the Republicans
on the one hand, who appealed to con-
servative common sense, and the radi-
calls on the other, who supported La
Toilette. Middle ground in a battle is
a disastrous position. The Democrats
will be called upon to assume a far
more definite position if they are to

Names of the Republican Senators
who voted to open the doors FOR
the Warren confirmation proceedings
give a clue to the problem OF admin
istration leadership in the upper
house. Already it is plain that Pres
ident Coolidge will have to scrape a
majority together, from case to case,
on more than one occasion. 1t was to
be expected that men like Borah,
Couzens, Howell. Norris and john
son would line up now and then with
Brookhart, Frazier and Ladd. But 1t
was not generally anticipated that at
the first showdown men like Capper,
Mclean, McNary and McMaster (of
South Dakota) would be found in the
an anti-administration ranks. The stu
alton that Senator Curtis, the G. o.
P, leader, confronts is that of the 81
nominal Republicans in the new Sem
ate there are at least who cannot
be relied upon to obey the crack of
the party whip. II the bloc which
fiocked by itself in the first stages
OF the Warren contest sticks to-

If Or. Jacob G. Schurman is trans
ferred from the ministership to
China and promoted to the ambas-
sadorship to Germany it will carry
out an old tradition of sending
American scholars to Berlin. DR..
Schurman would be the second for
mer president of Cornell University
to represent the United States in
Germany, a distinguished predecessor
who was our envoy in Kaiser days
having been the late DR.. Andrew D.
White. Contrary TO general belief,
Schurman is not of German ancestry,
but the descendant of an old New
York Dutch family. His accession to
ambassadorial rank would carry out
the long-sought but little respected
principle of reward for merit in our
diplomatic service. To give an en-
bassy as important as Berlin to a
merely deserving politician like
Charles D. Hilles would blast the
hopes and kill the ambitions of hun
dreds Of young men who are trying
to take the foreign service seriously.
1t would mean that the service is
doomed to remain the foot ball of
spoilsmen. President Coolidge has
given the impression that he is try
ing to preserve the service from the
patronage highbinders, but the pres
sure is terrific.

Can you name the author?

We go back to England for the
following bit:
I'm 1anadu did Kubla Kahn
A stately pleasure-d decree
Where Alph, the sacred river, ran
Through caverns measureless to

The man who wrote that, also
wrote one of the greatest poems in
the English language, one stanza OF
which I recall offhand:

One of the most famous English
poets wrote two short companion
pieces one ending:
The delights IL thou canst give,
Mirth with thee / mean to live
And the other ending:
''These pleasures. Melancholy, give
And / with thee will choose to live
Who was he?
Most Americans have read, at some
time or other. the poem beginning
with the following lines-but how
many know the authors name?
Bowed by the weight Of centuries he
leans
Upon his hoe and gazes on the ground
The emptiness of ages in his face,
And on his back the burden of the
world"
This great poem ends with the pro-
phetic words:
% masters, lords and rulers of the
lands
How will the Future reckon with this
man2
How answer that brute question in
that hour
When whirlwinds OF rebellion sha Ike
all shores?
How will 1t be with Kingdoms and
With those who shaped him to the
thing he is
When this dumb terror shall rise 10
judge the world,
After the silence OF the centuries?"
Another of our American poets gave
US famous poem beginning:
Blessing on thee, little man,
Barefoot boy, with cheeks of tan,
With thy turned-up pantaloons.
And thy merry whistled tunes"
A gay lord sang:
'The Isles of Greece, the Isles OF
Greece.
Where burning Sappho loved and sung.
Where grew the arts of war and
Where Delos rose, and Phoebus
sprung"
His name was once on every tongue;
but who knows il now?

who has not read the complete poems

given, often 1t is very hard to re-

Washington's Suburban Roads

Word from the Office of the engi-

work on the badly damaged suburban
roads of the District cannot be rushed

that but $4,000 is available for this

that, because to concentrate repair
work at this time would mean laying
off some Of the permanent gangs later

Off ff-hand, do you know who wrote:
Let US, then, be up and doing,
With a heart for any fate;
Still achieving, still pursuing.

Many consider the author OF those
lines the greatest American poet

A legislative body meets
Amid the worlds applause;
And honored Solons take their seats
To make a Nations laws.

When some one starts the Jazz.
But everybody, small or great,
Is keeping on the move.
And even those not all sedate
Are striving to improve.

AS with respect we pause;
And what as "jazz" we once would

freezing dogs, with eyes that search

streets, treading our unfriendly paths.
No one seems greatly concerned. The
law does not touch a man for being
cruel. callous, Indifferent, heartless
toward the suffering of dumb crea-
lures. But let him reach out a
friendly hand to help one of them, and
the law is at once on the lookout to
see that ii is done according to a
prescribed formula.
To adapt the words of an obscure
poet: 20 judge, let your iron creeds
be fashioned to the peoples needs."
There should be enough justice, and
enough mercy, outside of the courts,
to see that this man is freed.
