Poor Glirrls!

Poor GliHns!
 My own poor gliins were pie tured as having grown misty over the spectacle of Q Democratic convention winding up It's sessions In an atmosphere of good feeling and the delegates departing in Q spirit of harmony. The mistiness was not in my eyes but in those of the Republicans editorial writer. Admitting that am the gushing sentimentalist he pictures me to be; conceding that l wept for joy when, as he puts 1t, some blessed and heaven sent urge of last n1irl- ute tolerance and moderation" made escape from the customary ructions" possible. What of itP The difference between the Re. publicans doubting Thomas and my gushy self is plain. was hap- py to report that the customary ructions" were escaped, that "the party Is militant and united"; and that Attorney General Cummings was able to carry back some cheery word to that effect to President Roosevelt. THE REi- PUBLICAN'S EDITOR IS OBVI- ,OUsLY DISAPPOINTED, CHAQ- RrNED, AND DISCOURAGED THAT THESE ARE THE FACTS. HE IS THE VICTIM or A HOPE UNPARALLELED, A WISH DENIED, AND A DESIRE THWARTED. Personally I prefer to enjoy the misty eyes which pleasure makes damp rather than suffer the bitter tears of baked expectation. And if the suggestion is permitted, l would like to advise the editorial writer of the Republican, and all his political kind, to storm heaven, that 1t may send on to Cleveland the blessed urge to last minute tolerance and moderation which, to his scratchy irritation, charac- terized the Democratic state con- vention in New Haven.

Republican announced that 1t was trying to become tan English speaking newspaper" I believe I was the first to welcome the all- Ylouncement and to express the hope that the attempt would be successful. For long time I have suspected that the Republican efl- tertained ambitions in other direc- tons, I have thought, from reading 1t now and then, that in addition to the determination to be English speaking 1t is also iil- tent on becoming humorous. Last Wednesdays editorial comment on the Democratic state convention in New Haven lends strength to the suspicion. Its writer essayed Q bit of satire over the statement which appeared in these columns to the fleet that the result of the convention contest for places on the Democratic National Commit- tee had left no grudges to be taken out later by the losers upon the winners. The convention adjourned with such palpable absence of bit- terness that the Republicans able and experienced political com mentator noted the fact as did al" most ell the other reporters as- signed to cover the meeting. But the editorial sceptic of the Repub- iican refused to harbor the plain truth. He Is convinced that the display of harmony Is just an act and that the testimonial dinner to be given National Committee man David E. FitzQerald in this city next Monday night is 50 much hocus-pocus to hoodwink the unenlightened, which group of unfortunates automatically ifls cludes everyone except the editor- ial satirist on the Republican.

SEAL, BALL0U.
EYE KEMPCASE

A definite policy on admission
of nonresident pupils to District
public schools was scheduled to
be worked out today by DR.. Frank
w. Ballou, superintendent Of
schools, Corporation Counsel FL
wood H. Seal and his chief as
sistant, Vernon E. West.
Particular attention was to be
devoted to the case of 11-year-old
Lois Kemp, of Clarendon, Va.
In a recent decision, Justice
Jennings Bailey, Of U. S. District
Court for the District of Columbia,
held school authorities were with
out right to bar her from ad-
mission to the Gordon Junior High
School. District authorities have
indicated they will carry the case
to the Court of Appeals, contend
ing this action will stay the order
of Justice Bailey.
Corporation Counsel Seal, after
a conference with DR.. Ballou yes
terday, said it was estimated that
mo more than 1000" nonresident
pupils were seeking admission to
the local schools and added that
he personally though it unfair to
admit the Kemp girl merely be-
cause she instituted the suit and
deny admission to all Others"
Robert E. Lynch, counsel for the
KempS, who is scheduled to con-
fer with Seal today, said the girl
was being Disseminated against
because she instituted the test
suit. She is not attending school,
he added, while the others who
sought admission as nonresident
pupils are in schools in Maryland
and Virginia.

NEW SCHOOL

ARLINGTON COURT HOUSE,
Va, Oct. DEMONSTRATION on
Arlington County's new junior
high school is expected to be
under way before December /,
superintendent of Schools Fetch
er Kemp told the Arlington
County School Board at a meet
ing here last night.
Both the Arlington Junior High
School and the Highland Park
Elementary School are expected
to be ready for occupancy by
the opening of the fall term next
September, Mr.. Kemp added.
Acceptance Of an offer made
by the Federal Government to
issue a straight grant of $102,-
$50 to Arlington County for the
two school projects was made by
the board with a unanimous vote.
Mr.. Kemp explained that, since
1t is believed it will be necessary
to re-advertiSe for bids on the
projects, it may be as late as De-
cember / before the actual work
on the school is begun, but that
every effort will be made to speed
the project as soon as possible.
Two weeks are required under the
law to properly advertise for bids
for such project.
With the Federal grant of $102,-
$50, the county school board will
have an additional sum of $780,
600 which was voted as a school
bond issue here several months
ago.
Superintendent Kemp explained
that the grant, added to the bond
issue sum, would be sufficient to
construct the two buildings, while
some of this money is expected
to be left on hand to be used to-
ward equipment for the two build
irgS.

Hull DubS LdndOn
Back Seat Driver
In Campaign

HAGERSTOWN, Nd, Oct. %
GN.SO-Governor Alfred M. Ian
don last night was labeled a "back-
seat driver" by Secretary of State
Hull in a speech defending the
Administrations reciprocal trade
program from what he charac-
terized as the partisan" attack
of the Republican presidential
nominee.
Hull, in the first Of three radio
speeches he is delivering in the
East and Middle West in defense
of the highly controversial trade
policy, said:
"Our principal back seat
driver says in effect that he
agrees with our destination,
namely, the restoration Of our
foreign trade. But he doesn't
like the kind Of car we are driv-
ing or the way we drive it.
His criticism of what we are
doing can only mea / that what
he really wants is to turn
around and go in the opposite
directiOn-back to SmOOtHaw-

Just how soon King Edward VIII
stamps will be issued is difficult to
forecast.
Although George v became King
in May. 1910, Great Britain did not
issue stamps with hts portrait until
1911. These were only the lower val
ues. halfpenny and penny. A COM
plete set to replace the King Edward
VII issue Of 1902 was not placed on
sale until 1928. The designs adopt
ed then have continued in general use,
with little or no basic change, except
for last years rotogravure printing,
which had the effect Of making the
Kings head predominant in the de-
sign.
"The first empire division to picture
the then new King ON a stamp was
Newfoundland. It was In the Guy
issue Of 1910 to commemorate the
colonization Of that country. Pictur-
ing various scenes and historical per.
sonages, the 15c denomination bore q
portrait Of King George ". The next
highest value, l2c. had King Edward
WIS picture.
These stamps were issued in Au-
gust, 1910, only three months after
George began his 25-year reign"
