America and the War.
The President still further em
phasizes the importance of foreign
' affairs l?y closing his doors to all
callers except officials with business
pressing for his attention. For the
present he will give his whole time
to questions growing out of the Eu
ropean and the Mexican situations.
: both of which, everybody can see,
are grave for us.
As respects domestic questions, a
^President of the United States is
necessarily a party man. He is in
?authority on the strength of a party
declaration of principles, which, as
.his party's chief, he must endeavor
.to have applied to the country's con
"cerns. In his message to Congress
and in his appointments to oftict he
has his party's welfare in mind, fie
^*15 in the White House to serve the
-country through his interpretation
? of his party's promises.
But foreign relations call for a
larger and wider reading. As ex
pressed in a popular phrase, our pol
itics stops- at the seashore. A Presi
dent is not a party but the country's
chief in handling business relating to
foreign powers. He speaks, or should
speak, for the whole United States, I
and with the sole object of serving
r, the interests of all the jieople?with
' out regard to party. That is the
time when "none is for a party, but
all are for the state."
Mr. Wilson is heavily burdened at
present. From (he outset, he has
been largely his own foreign min
ister. All, our leading representa
tives abroad are men of his selec
. tion. and he has advised them about
their most important functions. The
y-ccord to date is his record.
. But he is not now treading the
^ wine press alone. He is Lcing ad
vised by highly competent and e.\- !
perienced men, w ho know diplomacy
and international law thoroughly;
and if he needs more assistance it
is available. There is not a repub
licah leader who would not respond
as readily as a democratic leader to
a request from the President for an
? opinion on any grave point in con
troversy, and give it without a
'?thought of party advantage.
The desire of the country without
regard to party is to keep clear of
war if possible. Our domestic af
fairs, unfortunately, have been af
fected by the foreign turmoil, and j
?s it continues may become more !
affected. Part of the depression of j
??-our business is due to the condition
' of foreign business, which the war,
. of course, has completely upset. But
we do not want to become an active
factor in the world-shaking strife if
there is an honorable way to con
tinue to keep out.
The G. A. R. Encampment Fund.
The citizens' committee in charge
of the preparations for the annual
.-reunion of the Grand Army of the
Republic, to be held here next sum
mer. is working hard on the difficult
task of raising a guarantee fund.
Washington's obligation to entertain
. this great assemblage has been defi
nitely assumed, and must be dis
charged to the fullest possible ex
tent. It will b- in the last degree
? lamentable if through a lark of pub
, lie co-operation the preparations are
? inadequate or the city's hospitality is
? meager or grudging. The G. A. K. is
" a diminishing body of veterans.
whose encampments grow in patri
otic interest as the ranks become
thinned by death. It will not be so
great a task to provide for the vete- 1
rans this summer as it was twenty
three years ago. Yet nothing must
be lacking in the preparations, and
there should be no question about
the full success of the present plans
to raise a sufficient entertainment
fund. This is a matter in which all
the citizens must co-operate for the
honor of Washington.
Uncle Joe Cannon simply stood pat
on the question of election frauds
and is now planning to remain in
Congress in deference to the will of
, the majority.
Harry Thaw's silence indicates an
appreciation of the fact that he has
already had more advertising than
- he has any real use for.
Mr. Wilson's Innovations.
Mr. Taft, who has said many kind
things about his successor in the
? White House, said this the other day
in an address at Princeton:
? "I think the innovation of Presi
dent Wilson in going before Con
gress and delivering his own mes
*' sage was a good one, but I cannot
help allow my imagination to play
tin the remarks the followers of Jef
ferson might have made had Presi
dent Roosevelt or myself adopted
? that method."
Yes. but think of the difference.
Mr. Wilson's messages take but lit
? tie time in the delivery. One was
delivery] in about Ave minutes. Thus
fir the longest has consumed only
about twenty minutes. Hie joint
sessions of tin; two houses to listen
arc pleasant occasion:-. 1 hey afford
an animated anil impressive picture.
Nobody gets tired. Nobody goes
Out.
But what would be the effect on
such an assembly of the reading by I
the author of one of those old style. ^
blanket form, messages, covering
creation? Would it differ from the
effect that was always produced
when the reading clcrks of the two
houses sitting separately tired it ai
members? That proceeding used to
be wearisome in the extreme. The
clerks' voices di<*<! down as tin
reading advanced. The patience of
main- of the listeners gave out mid
way, and they retired to the cloak
rooms. The formality brought ex
haustion to all but the vigorous and
' scrupulously ceremonious. The lie^t
writers with important topics could
not by proxy hold an audience so
long, and would have faiicd if they
had tried it in person.
Mr. Wilson's most valuable inno
vation is in departing from the old
blanket form of message, and re
ferring Congress and the country to
the reports of the heads of the dif
ferent departments for such informa
tion as they may desire respecting
details of the public business. He
cuts out the old style summary, and
by doing so fixes attention on such
recommendations as he makes. He
docs not crowd his canvas with fig
ures. He docs not repeat what his
constitutional advisers have already
offered at greater length and with
better understanding.
It is to be hoped that Mr. \\ ilson s
example will be followed by his suc
cessors. Partly as the result of his
superior powers tti expression, he
has made it very attractive. His
messages are read as well as listened
to. They receive no advantage from
his personal delivery, for. at most,
he provides only a picture for those
who attend. But .being short, and
to the point, and excellently phrased,
they have the cffect of carrying
home the ideas conveyed.
Helping Washington.
At the dinner of the Retail Mer
chants' Association last night a reso
lution was adopted pledging the
members to do something every day
in the year for the promotion of
Washington in all its activities. This
is an excellent spirit, the true spirit
of progress through co-operation,
and this organization is now so
strong in its membership that a faith
ful performance will make speedily
and manifestly for Washington's bet
terment. There are many ways in
which the individual citizen can
"work , for Washington." The key
note of an endeavor of this sort is
enlightened selfishness, as civiliza
tion itself has been called. Let each
member of this organization step
aside daily from his routine course 1"
do that which through word or deed
contributes ? to the welfare of the
whole community, ever so little, and
results will soon show. Good citi
zenship is not merely a matter of
business hustle. It affects the atti
tude of the individual toward the
laws, and especially those that arc
designed for general security and
health and comfort. In one particu
lar the association at last night's din
ner moved in a practical way for re
sults, through the "buy in Washing
ton" plan. Local prosperity depends
to a great extent upon the degree in
which the local people patronize the
local establishments. It is to the in
finite credit of Washington's mer
chants that they can supply all the
needs of the community in all ranges
of quality and taste and they amply
deserve home patronage.
Speculation as to the ease with
which an invading army might be
landed on American soil merely in
vites further speculation as to what
would happen to said army within
the next twenty-four hours.
Nothing annoys Senator Lodge
more than to find anything ill the
J Congressional Record that suggests

A prisoner may now have his

Whenever Germany and England
wish to create terror in each other's
minds they threaten to do something
to American comniercc.
As time advances, the manner in
which I'orfirio Diaz managed to hold
on to the dictatorship becomes more
and more a mystery.
Belgium is not yet enjoying the
peace and comfort that are supposed

science.
Recreation Development.
The survey of the District's recrea
tional facilities just concluded will, it
is announced, result in a report to
the Commissioners, on which they will
doubtless base recommendations to
Congress in matters requiring legis
lation. It is understood that the
main point of the conclusions reached
is that the government-owned
ground in and around Washington
should be utilized more fully for pur
poses of public recreation. This has
been the thought of the local author
ities for some time back. There is
at present in the office of Col. Harts,
the engineer officer in charge of the
public buildings and grounds, a com
prehensive plan for the development
of lower Potomac Park along these
lines, and upon which it was hoped
action might be taken by Congress
at the past session. An exceptional
.- ' . \ %.
| opportunity is offered in that portion
I of the park for extensive pleasure
I grounds for the people. It is under
l stood that the recent survey con
ducted under the auspices of the
Commissioners will lead to the rec
ommendation that similar grounds
be provided in the eastern section,
perhaps involving the utilization of
the abandoned workhouse buildings
for public gymnasium purposes,
j Every part of Washington should
I have ample recreation grounds, and
it is to be hoped that in the near
future a beginning may be made on
this project, % for which there is
abundant opportunity ill the way of
available public spaces.
Start the Fly Fight!
The health department issues its
spring warning against the Hy nui
sance. urging that work be started
early .this season to eradicate the
disease-carrying insect. So much
good work has been done in Wash
ington during the past few years
that it is to be believed that the peo
ple will proceed as a matter of
course with fly lighting this season.
A "clean-up. paint-up" campaign is
in process of organization, and the
fly danger should be kept definitely
in mind in this endeavor. The lime
is at hand when it is necessary to
consider the safeguarding of the
city's health in terms of thorough
cleanliness. Every possible breeding
place must be destroyed, all trash
heaps removed and the refuse
burned or carted off to public dumps
for burial. All manure pits must be I
kept tightly closed and properly ;
treated, stables must be kept clean
and food stores must be maintained
on a strictly sanitary basis. There
arc many ways in which each citizen :
can contribute to this work of mak- |
ing Washington flyless. and there- |
fore more healthy, and the health j
department's warning points out j
these ways in practical terms. With I
the good start that the capital has j
gained by its past work the possi- I
bility of complete emancipation from |
this danger is near at hand. ?

Engineers are agreed that in the
course of time the loose material
around the Culebra cut will be ex

In the meantime a watchful waiting
policy is required.
There is no need for ex-President
Taft to advise people to keep their j

men in the country are regarding it }
as their lucky number.

SHOOTING STAES.
Bt PHILANDER JOHNSON.
Insulted.
"Mother," said the very earnest
youth, "would you blame me for
fighting if a boy insulted me?"
"Possibly not. Has any one in
sulted you?"
"Yes. Tommy Jigson said he could |
lick me."
Piscatorial Perils.
The fish that sees a hook and line
Now smiles with joy serene;
He's glad that it is not a mine
Or else a submarine.
Taking a Gloomy View.
"What a beautiful edifice that rail
way station is."
"Yes. But I can't say I approve of
it," replied Mr. Growcher. "Every
time 1 look at the immense palatial
structure I feel sorry for the poor
railroads whose desire to elevate
public taste has led them to live be
yond their means."
Not a Sincere Dancer.
"What is your reason for wanting
to learn to dance?"
"Well, it looks foolisher to sit still
and look foolish than it docs to get
on your feet and look foolish."
"Many a man talks 'bout the high
cost of livin'," said Uncle Eben,"when
de real reason for his difficulty is de
uncertainty of a craps game."
Lame Sacks.
Everybody has some fancy he's com
pelled to toss aside,
Some little plan for profit or some
little point of pride;
Some fond romance that flourished
only just to fade away,
As a sigh of disappointment stilled
the laughter once so gay.
,Everybody has to feel that he is
slighted, more or less,
And we're all lame ducks together,
if we only would confess.
The present may seem pleasant, but
the pleasure doesn't last;
The triumph of the moment swiftly
fades into the past;
The glory that is ended makes the
darkness seem more dense
That is hung about the future like a
barrier of suspense.
Everybody has some hope that he is
struggling still to clutch;
We are all lame ducks together,
though we may not say as much.
