NOYES THE EVENING STAR and permanent Family Circulation much more than th culation of the other Washington dailies. As a News and Advertising Mediam it has no competitor. oF In order to avoid delays, on ac- count of personal absence, letters to THE STAR should not be addressed to any individual connected with the office, but simply to THE STAR, or to Editorial or Business Depart- ing to tenor or purpose. the When the Porto Rican tariff bill was put upon its age its advocates declared that the people would indorse it so soon as they should come to understand it. That was weeks ago. Since then publfe discussion has been busy with the topie to the exclu- sion of nearly every other. The leading newspapers have yielded unlimited space to it. Has there been a single conversion of note to the cause? Not a newspaper has gone over. Not a public man of any conse- quence has gone over. The boot is on the other ieg. The opposition to the bill has in- creased In strength. The press, speaking for the people. assail the measure more vig- orously t than at any other . Sen- ators whose course was not clearly de- fined at the outset are out in the open now urging the defeat of the bill. The Iow house of representatives assumes to und stand {t, and pronounces unanimously against it. What is the information about the Dill which is to convert the multitude to its support? And who possesses it, and why docs he not bring it forward? If conversions were possible they would some time since have begun. They are not possible. The bill has no standing upon its merits. It is not now being urged upon its merits. It is in the hands of men who originally were for free trade with Por Rico. Some of them, too, there is good rea- son to believe, regret their present attitude. ‘They are upholding the measure through a mistaken sense of party loyalty. They are fighting. not for a redemption of the im- plied pledges of the government to a friend- ly and deserving and helpless people in des- perate need of succor and justice, but to save the republican leaders of the House from the consequences of their own foll They are not called upon to do this thing Let those leaders square themselves with their constituents and the country. To save the party is more than to save a blundering leadership from deserved mortification.

In the seventh grade the geographical text book is far beyond the mental developmen: of those who are re- quired to study it. The lesson taught by this report and by the experiences so liberally debated here during the past two or three months is easily to be understood. In an undoubt- edly ci entious endeavor to make our schools rank high in the opinions of “edu- cators” the authorities have wandered far into the realm of theory, leaving behind them as ancient and unworthy many of the principles which must underlie education If it Is to be of any practical use. The effort has been to generalize and incidentalize so that the pupil would acquire knowledge without being aware of the acquirement; and this in splte of the fact that there is no royal read to learning. The man whose principles are vague and ill-defined never succeeds in this world. The man whose education is devoid of drill and rules and steady application to specific and directly useful studies is segiously handicapped in the struggle for existence. The school au- thorities may, with credit to themselves and profit to the community, spend consid- erable time and thought on revision of their impractically administered course of study, see. Needed Street Railway Extensions. ‘The District committees should start im- mediately to secure action on certain pend- ing street railway extension bills which represent the urgent needs of thousands of Washingtonians. These bills, specifically, propose a westward extension of the Cap- {tal Traction line from the State, War and Navy building. to furnish transit facilities to the people living in that section south of Pennsylvania avenue; an eastward exten- sfon of the same line from Sth street and Pennsylvania avenue southeast to the Eastern Branch, to cover a wide area now devoid of transportation advantages; and a northeastward extension of the Metro- politan line from Columbia road and 17th street to Park street, to supply the needs of a large and rapidly growing suburban community living west of 14th street. Irrespective of the wishes or plans of the railroad companies, these improvements are demanded by the people in accordance with the general street railway development of the capital. The chief problem of the local rapid transit situation, that of motive power, has been admirably solved. The roads are now organized most efficiently for the good of the people and in all re- spects as far as it goes the system is well nigh perfect. But to make it fully effec- tive it should be made to cover the places now jd of service, which are certain to grow even If they are deprived of these facilities, and of course if given them will advance rapidly. The street railway improvements should be made to keep pace with the building im- provements of the city. In order to do this prompt action is required on at least two of these bills, particularly that retating to the Columbia road extension of the Metropoll- tan. That project Involves the widening of the road to accommodate the railroad line. There is no time to be lost in starting this for improvements have already gun there, involving the erection of a block of houses which, under the terms of the contemplated extension, will have to be demolished. It is only reasonable to expect that Congress will take cognizance of this fact and make haste to start the raflroad work before the cost shall have been largely Increased through these bulld- ing operations and others certain to follow. It is unfair to investors Who are anxious to start the construction of houses along this Ine to compel them to walt indefinitely be- fore they can proceed with confidence as to the future. Yet this is what is being done. The de- lays in the houses in handling these bills are having the effect of strangling the im- provement of this large and promising sec- tion, while depriving the people already lo- there rapid transit facilities. ¥ consideration of good government nds immediate action, the interests of the people alone calling for the enactment of cated of this legislation and the furnishing to the now neglected sections of the railroad lines which might so readily be extended to them. ——__ + + = —__ Maryland at Kansas City.

Subject to the same criticism—lack of sys- tem and carelessness as to the truly prac- Uleal—is the teaching of geography. There is selerice galore, but dircet “place geog- raphy"—the location of countries, cities, etc. is practically unknown.

The great bulk of the income is derived from réal estate. When- ever it becomes neceasaty to go beyond the land and its immediate appurtenances for revenue wise legislators try to prevent the process from affecting the commercial ac- ents As tivity of the community. This principle, faithfully maintained, leads to prosperity. Its violation leads directly to busjness stag- nation, depression and ultimately, if un- checked, to panic. In the case of the proposed tax revision bill relating to the District the reverse prin- ciple seems to have been established as a foundation. The chief aim has apparently been to tax every visible form of industry, enterprise or occupation, to put a penalty upon all forms of human labor, whatever the ability to pay. There are certain occu- pations which, from their character, require lcensing, in order to permit police regula- tion. In such case a tax is desirable, even necessary. But these cases are few com- pared with the manifold business interests of citizens, merchants. workers and miscel- laneous tradesmen, whose energies reflect credit upon the community, and should re- main, as far as the public needs will per- mit, absolutely unhampered by special tax- ation. A city which taxes indiscriminately, which exacts a fee from enterprise, soon acquires an undesirable reputation among the work- ers. Washington is just now seeking to at- tract light manufacturing, to draw hither various forms of labor-employing enter- prises which will comport with the dignity of the capital and at the same time swell the self-supporting population. It is excep- tionally situated to attract workers and in- vestors as regards the financial burdens placed upon the people. The ald furnished by the federal government in maintaining the municipal machinery, the extensive im- provements made possible by this division of the cost, the growing prestige of the city as a desirable place of residence and a well-governed community, all tend to spread its fame and invite home-makers, artisans and caplitalists. The proposed tax law is calculated to stem this tide and to change the city’s fame into disrepute. It contains enough harmful propositions to affect all the natural local advantages and to discourage even the en- terprises already located here. It is in the interests of the Washington not only of to- day, but the Washington of the future, that this measure be pigeon-holed or else revised to meet the judgment of the community, which is today decidedly adverse to its con- sideration. —_+ + = ___ It is to be hoped that this lull in Ken- tucky is something more than a suspension of proceedings to give the mountaineers time to clean up thelr Winchesters. —__—__+ = —_____ Agoncillo is telling the Parisians of great.

Taking Hin Measure. “No,"" said the practical politician, “we don’t want him figuring in the campaign.” “But he is exceedingly well informed.” “I doubt It. He has put in all his time udying th2 tariff and finance and the United States Constitution. He doesn't know anything about politics.” A Theory The man who doesn’t change his mind— So says the cynic strange— yne, you'll usually find, Who has no mind to change.

Misrepresentation and nderstanding have been fatal to this proposed reform before, but it had been urged with such intelligent purpose this time that there was hope of its adoption. Apparently it will have to wait some time yet, at the further cost of $20,000,000 a year to the people. ——_ = orto Ric From the Chicago Journal. The responsibility for the delay and for all the distress delay has caused is on the heads of those that have wished to do less than their duty. It will continue to be on thetr heads. Senators and representatives that insist on doing what is right will in- cur no blame in the eyes of their eonstitu- ents. The people know the merits of the case and will hold those responsible who ought to have yielded and would not. — e2____ ‘Time to Call a Halt. From the Chicago News.
