Baker Medal Award
Brings Forth Praise
From the Roanoke Times.

From the Roanoke Times.
When Newton D. Baker was Secretary
Of War he disapproved the RECON-
mendation Of a board that he be
awarded the Distinguished Service
Medal. The recommendation was sub
sequently renewed by the board after
Mr.. Baker went out of Office and this
week President Wilson'S War Secretary
came to. Washington to receive the
medal from Secretary Good
The award, says the accompanying
citation, was made for exceptionally

organized and put into the field in an
amazingly short time the most forrni-

ever assembled. Throughout the war
he rendered services Of inestimable
value to the country" the citation adds.

Long of Louisiana.

Louisiana'S House of Representatives
has impeached the governor Of that
State with single article of accusation.
There was long list of offenses against
the commonwealth to be charged by
the impeaching, body, but the House
had to content itself with this single
item because Of the lapse of time. The
LEGISLATURE had been called in special
session by the governor for purpose
Of his own, with time limit on its sit
ting. The impeachment movement thus
came swiftly to head, and, despite the
desperate maneuvers of the governors
partisans, it proceeded to the point of a
formal charge. This single article,
which was chosen In view Of the limited
time available as the one most def
nitely susceptible Of proof, relates to the
attempted coercion by the governor OF
q Baton Rouge publisher, the allegation
being that Gov. Long sent word to the
publisher that II the latter did not obey
executive orders he. the governor, would
broadcast-as he did subsequentiy--tlll
fact that the publishers brother was
an inmate In an insane asylum. The
other items, which had to be discarded
because Of lack Of time. were Of q much
aTayer character than this, but were
not 50 clearly provable.
This case against the Governor OF
Louisiana, following so soon after the
impeachment and conviction Of GOV
Johnston OF Oklahoma. the second ex-
ecutive Of the Boomer State to be &C.
eused and custed from once, IS sad
commentary upon the manner In whict

Council and Chest.

1t is important that Washingtonians
interested in the effective development
OF welfare activities in the District OF
Columbia realize the difference between
the Community Chest and the Council
Of Social Agencies, which has just held
its annual meeting.
The success of the Community Chest
has been great, and so much attention
has been focused upon its effective ac-
tivity that there is great danger that 1t
will overshadow the Council Of Social
Agencies and that confusion may exist
In public understanding between the
functions of the Community Chest and
the Council of Social Agencies.
The Council of Social Agencies, it
should be understood, is entirely sep
arate from the Community Chest, al
though co-ordinated with it. It is q
federation of both public and private
welfare organizations. devoted to the
prevention of duplication in human
service, the development of teamwork,
the improvement of methods, securing
of fundamental facts regarding social
conditions, the ALLEGATION OF response
bility for specific work in specific agen-
cies through cooperative discussion
and agreement between the represent
atives of its member organizations.
While considerable number of the
agencies which are members of the
council are also members OF the Com
munity Chest. many Of the members OF
the council, such as the various public
departments and other activities which
do not need funds from contributions
are not members of the Communit,
Chest, and should not be members. The
council, as q matter of fact, should in.
ciude in It's membership all Of the agen-
cies which make up the Community
Chest, plus any other private socia
agencies doing reputable work which are
not members os the Community Chssl

The New York Fare.

New York's straphangers, millions OF
them, will continue to pay five-cent
fare. The Supreme Court of the United
States has turned down the suit of the
marlborough Rapid Transit Co. to
compel a seven-cent fare. And to the
straphangers the denial Of the higher
rate Of fare is the immediate gain. n
has been estimated by no less a per-
son than Mayor Walker that the re-
tention Of the five-cent fare has saved
the straphangers collectively some
$50, o0o.0 a year.
For those who travel In the subways
Of New York at the rush hours in the
morning and evening there Is still the
problem of more adequate trans
portation facilities in the gtsater city.
Life is q struggle. But In the subways
it becomes a battle. The victory is to
the strong and the weak are out of
luck. New York's transportation prob
lem grows and grows. The sooner the
transportation companies and the Tran
sit Commission of New York get down
to brass tacks and work out, harmo-
niously If possible, general and all
embracing system for the betterment Of
the transportation facilities in the me-
tropoliS, the better for the public
The decision of the Supreme Court
attacked the procedure of the Inter
borough company, which filed suit in
the Federal court instead Of taking its
case into the State courts. It reversed
the decision of the lower Federal court
But at the same time it declared that
there was no justification for demand
at this time Of a higher rate of fare
by the subways and pointed out that
a demand for an eight per cent return
from the subways was preposterous
under all the circumstances. It denied
the justice Of including the operation
of the elevated roads with those Of the
subways in making a rate for the sub
ways.
The decision of the Supreme Court
had also its bearing on New York City
politics. Former Mayor John F. Hylan,
whom Walker defeated four years ago,
has announced his candidacy for mayor.
Mr.. Hylan has fought consistently for
the retention of the hve-cent fare. Had
the fare now been raised, the issue
would have been to his hand. He has
charged that Tammany was seeking to
barter away the interests Of the people.
Now, political wiseacres In New York
insist, Mayor Walker appears certain
Of denomination and reelection. Mr.
Hylan, however, insists that he will
continue his fight to GUST Walker and
Tammany from control of the affairs
Of the greater city, declaring that the
big issue of the mayoralty campaign
will be "Tammany's alliance with the
underworld and the extravaganza of the
city administration.
John H. McCooey, the Democratic
leader of Brooklyn, who supported Hy-
Ian in the campaign In 1925, when he
was informed of the decision Of the
Supreme Court, said that it meant the
reelection of Mayor Walker and an
nounced his support Of the mayor.
Brooklyn, he said, would give Walker a
one hundred thousand plurality. So, it
appears, New York is not only to have
a continuance of the ive-cent fare. but
also, by the grace of the Supreme Court
decision, continuance Of Mayor Jim
my" Walker.

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRAcEWELL.

There is certain expansivenesA
about an early Spring that creeps into
the blood Of even those die-hard persons
who assert that they like Winter best
AS If any one could like Winter
better than SPRING.
Some one has said that one Of the
pleasures Of being ignorant is that you
don't have to put the windows up In
cold weather; one OF the benefits OF
preferring Spring. honestly and openly
Is that you have TO put UP no bluff at
liking the cold months best.
There is now no necessity for claim
ing to like the keen, inWgorating
winds" Of January, when one Is bathed
in the mildness of April.
If it gets as hot as Summer, so much
the betterl A little discretion viii more
than enable any one to meet Summer
temperatures in Springtime.

And see how much the grass and the
flowers appreciate the warmth!
The very trees are In leaf, TO wave
welcome to the season beloved of the
poets; but the point is that all men are
poets In the Spring.
AL men become lovers and SO poets
when Nature begins to clothe the world
In green. that curious color at once
likable and unlikable.
In leaves and grass It Is one Of the
most beautiful Of ell colors. but in
flowers it Is sickly and unappreciated.
It does not take much yellow to make
green ugly: yet what is prettier than
shutters of dark green against clean
white house?
Probably the secret Of q good green
is close adherence to Natures pristine
tints. Where she leads, man may well
follow.
Men as we'll as women are interested
in the sun tan" vogue which has slow
ly been creeping over America"
What a curious phenomenon
Once upon time only farmers, trap
perS and other outdoor men were tan
ned; In many circles a sunburned Skin
was looked upon as q badge OF rough
labor.
Then the automobile came and with
J 1t what might be termed an automobile
civilization. Some hardy wag has ever
gone to the extent Of saying that Ameri-
by selling automobiles to one another.
The result of this movement-amone
It's many results-was to take millions
of Americans into the open spaces or
holidays, Sundays and vacations.
Coincident with the automobiles came
their mass production. which economists
believe also partly responsible for in
creased wealth. And where there is q
distribution Of wealth leisure becomes
better distributed, too.
y \
More leisure for the masses Of the
people, with the colleges placing en-
phasis upon sports. has led to sunburn
becoming fashionable.
Sun tan Is the mode, and whether one
so accepts it, or sturdily insists that he
always liked 1t, the fact remains that
to be sunburned today is the thing"
1t used to be standard Washington
Joke that many Government employees
spent their vacations In their own back
yards, securing a 'seashore tan" by
pouring water on their faces and arms
and sitting out In the sun.
Today no one feels called upon to &c
through such . maneuver; every one
is out In the sun as much as possible

and other sports take every one into the

easy for blocs to form, composed of
members who are willing to support the

been said clearly, Is not in favor Of a
general or drastic increase in the tariff
schedules. 1t now appears he will have
the backing OF majority of the House
ways and means committee in his po-
Sitton with regard to the tariff. That
committee has great weight in the
House, and as 1t drafts and reports the

season. Mention was made fortnight
ago of the group of paintings lent by
the gallery to the Public Library, and
of the fact that the Memorial Gallery is
open this season not merely three after
Moons a week but every afternoon.
An additional evidence of extension
and development is the publication this
Autumn of a periodical purposed to
appear twice a year under the title,
Art and Understanding" book SIM
liar in size to general reader magazines
and containing 118 pages, reading mat
ter and illustrations, the intent of
wnich-and an intent well fulfilled-is
to open the readers mind to a better
understanding of the art set forth in
the Phillips Memorial Gallery.
Much of the text in this publication,
which is to be issued In the Autumn
and in the Spring, is written by Mr..
Phillips, and therefore may be regarded
as personal message from lover and
collector of art to the visitor to the
gallery. Mr.. Phillips is not only an
aStute collector but graceful writer,
one who has the rare ability of giving
expression to the feelings and emo
lions awakened by art and who knows,
better than almost any one else today,
how to beautifully embroider such
themes so that they in turn become
works Of art. And yet it is his first
and unfailing intention TO induce on the
part of the reader and the visitor an
understanding of the artists point of
view. It is for the artist he is speaking,
under the conviction that such under
standing will best lead to genuine ap-
Northumberland both for the artist
and the onlooker.
In his Introductory essay, cart and
Understanding" Mr.. Phillips discusses
not only this point but the status of arc
today. Art" he says, sis the conscience
Of the creative instinct in man. "
proceeds from instincts which have led
to our jobs, our games and ourselves and
our desires to perfect the methods ana
the rules and to find the perfect apph-
cation Of the means to a given end"
He defines art as lone method of COM
munication which is also symbol OF
life ITSELF" and he does not think that
We have too much individualism today.
What we need" he says, "is not less
individual expression ana not less cult
Walton of individual sensibility but
more, to the end that the art of living
will come back and with it the human
joys Of finding art to match our unique
emotional experiences"
Following this introduction Mr.. Phil
lips gives reprints Of John Galsworthy s
