Without Qualification.

Qualified allegiance to the Govern
n1ent Of the United States, no matter
in what direction the qualification may
be made, cannot beget full American
citizenship. This has been the decision
of the courts in the past, and, judging
from the recent action of the highest
tribunal in the land, it is a decision
that is not likely to be changed. From
New Haven now comes a report that
citizenship has been denied Prof. Doug
las C. Macintosh of Yale University,
because he said he would not feel
obliged to fight If Congress should de-
clare war. He said, however, that he
would be willing to take UP arms for
the country if it were engaged in war
which he considered morally justified.
Prof. Macintosh is Canadian by
birth. He joined the faculty Of the Yale
Divinity School in 1909. During the
World War he served as a chaplain
with the Canadian forces in France and
later was connected with the Y. M. C. A.
with the American forces. He has seen
war and performed service. There is
every reason to believe he is well quail
fed for American citizenship; that he
is a desirable citizen, and probably far
above the average of those who apply
for citizenship and obtain it, But in
the eyes of the court, in which he ap-
piled for citizenship, he has qualified
his promise Of allegiance by seeking to
impose a condition under which he
would take up arms in defense of the
Government and the Constitution. He
himself is to be the Judge Of whether
he shall fight for the country Of hi
adoption, and If he decides that the
war is not morally Justified, he is to be
free to refuse to bear arms.
In the case Of Prof. Macintosh, there
might be no danger to the country from,
granting him the rights of citizenship
even with the qualification which HI
attaches to his allegiance. Bn6how Il

Metropolitan District
Development Praised

From the Baltimore Sun.
The development of the metropolitan
district adjacent to Washington in
Montgomery and Prince Georges
Counties is proceeding rapidly and
promises within the next decade to
make this section of the State one of
unusual attractiveneSs. 1t is particularly
gratifying to note the public spirit
shown by various new communities in
preparation for future in which
they have large confidence. Under
guidance of the Maryland National
Capital Park and Planning Commission
foundations are being laid for suburban
growth of much greater proportions
than the. people of Maryland generally
appreciate.
In few cities of the country has the
change in transportation methods had
more decided influence than in Wash
ington, inducing residents to seek homes
outside congeSued sections. That city,
to an unusual extent, Is made up of
people who are not attached to the soil,
many of them being newcomers. and
this, In day of swift transportation.
makes migration to pleasant outlying
sections a less formidable adventure.
The city also draws to it people of
wealth who wish to make homes there
for part of the year, at least, and who
are steadily increasing the demand for
residences in the beautiful country,
much of 1t hilly, that lies around Wash
ington and borders the Potomac.
As illustrating the care with which
Washington's environs in Maryland are
being safeguarded, excellent zoning
laws have been adopted In the past
week they were brought into play to
minimize the billboard nuisance. bill
board companies being warned that
signs In residential districts would
have to be eliminated and the
highways in this section of the
State cleared of them. In generally
planning. in fact. for orderly develop
ment of the area, so as to make it at
tractive 10 residents, Montgomery and
Prince Georges are showing zeal, energy
and intelligence that are most corn-
mendable.

Budget Practice and the District.

There is no use crossing the bridge
of what the Budget Bureau will do to
the District budget before that bridge
is reached. which will be some time in
August. But the shadow of coming
events has already been cast by the
bureaus intimation that the total of
1891 estimates will be held to the total
of 1880 appropriations. thus indicating
q repetition of conditions that caused
no little debate last year. Representa-
tive Simmons, the chairman of the
subcommittee on District appropria-
tions, tried to get at the root of the
difficulty when he made this statement
to Commissioner Taliaferro during the
hearings on the 1880 appropriation bill:
'I am trying to place the responsibility
for the bill coming to us for the third
successive year providing for an ex-
penditure of less than the amount of
the revenues of the District and to
justify expending, as this bill provides
for, over 100000 less than the bill
would rightly carry. Certainly, it is
not the fault of Congress"
And while responsibility for annually
submitting to Congress District bill
that builds a surplus instead of cover
ing needs was never definitely fixed to
everybody's satisfaction, that response
bility was left divided between the
Commissioners and the Budget Bureau.
The story of the 1880 estimates ex-
plains the situation. Those estimates,
reaching the Commissioners from the
departmental heads, totaled, in round
numbers, $5o,000,0 900. The Commission
ers reduced these estimates to $42, ,000,-
900. The Budget Bureau then notified
the Commissioners that their estimates
should not exceed, in round numbers,
$40,000,000. But the Commissioners
were informed that they could submit a
list OF supplementary items, not to be
included in the allowable total, but
which the Commissioners considered
should be approved. So the Commits
sioners submitted regular and supple
naentary items totaling $42,0o0,oO0 and
the Budget Bureau reduced these to
$4,000, 900 and sent them to Congress.
During the hearings Mr.. Simmons
contended that the Commissioners, aft
er having their first list of supplement
tails cut down, should have submitted
still another list. The Commissioners
point Of view was that such a step
seemed futile. inasmuch as the Budget
Bureau had already declined to en-
tertain an additional list Of estimates.
Moreover, the Commissioners are re-
stricted by budget practice that in
effect forbids requesting appropriations
over and above the amount set by the
Budget Bureau.
This practice now largely accounts
for the surplus of District revenues ly-
ing idle In the Treasury. The Com
inissioners survey the field and decide
what can be covered by fair tax rate
and the Federal contribution. The
Budget Bureau cuts down the total that
can be asked, thus leaving available
money unspent.
There should be corresponding re-
duction in the tax burden, or else the
Commissioners should be able to send
through the Budget Bureau, theil
recommendations Of how available
revenue can best be spent.

SHOOTING STARS.

Pictorial Greatness.

Pictorial Greatness.
He was youth who lived content
And tried to cut no caper,
Until the camera man had sent
His picture to the paper!
His was an accidental fame.
Athletics brought him some acclaim;
Now everybody knows his name
His pictures in the paper.
The public, schooled to gentleness,
Displays no spleen or vapor.
And greets with F1atterys caress
The picture in the paper.
The statesman to forgotten lore
Is left. The athletes glory Is no more
Unless he gets, just as of yore,
His picture in the paper!

Richnan
Arrives on

New York Musical Comedy
Star is Ready for
Work.

PREPARING to launch work on
L his first motion picture, Harry
Richman, famous New York mu-
steal comedy star, has arrived in
Hollywood to make an all-singing,
extravaganza for United
Artists. Irving Berlin wrote the
story, tentatively titled 1.-THE Song
of Broadway" and composed eight
songs especially for Richman's film
debut.
Richman is famous. both on the
stage and as a night club enter
tainer. In recent years, during which
he starred in George Whites
Scandals" he had his own night
club-the Club Richman-that oc-
cupied his time after theater hours.
Otto Kahn, the f1nancier, bought
Richman's Giro Club for his son,
Roger Wolfe, and it became LIE Per-
roquet.
Richman's monograph records,
which are said to sell in greater
numbers than those Of any other
singer, have made him world famous.
He sang for the first time, and was
largely instrumental in establishing
the popularity of such songs as:
Muddy Waters" Laugh, Clown,
Laugh" king for a Day." Lucky
Day. "The Birth of the Blues" will
You Remember Me?" and "Linger
Awhile" He was one of the pioneer
radio entertainers, and was on the
air when New York had only two
broadcasting stations.

In oother words, the smiling Kid
will ascend in the huge Riverside

changing from one parachute to an

bles through space.

ball idols, football idols and other

gathered such a following of fans
as has Claude Shafer, who, under
the name of the Patent Leather
Kid, has thrilled the Riverside
crowds this summer.
II remained for Shafer to cast
aside tradition in the profession.
Instead of doing his aerial stunts in
the conventional tights or white
duck suit so dear to the older jump
ers, Shafer goes a1oft attired in
conventional evening clothes, patent
leather shoes, spats and all that sort
of thing, looking more like young
