A PROJECT WORTH CONSIDERING.
Creation of a great forest reserve and park near
the National Capital is an inspiring idea, and there
is much in the project to commend it on the ground
of practical utility.' Such parks have been estab
lished in not inconsiderable numbers elsewhere, and
there is no reason why one should not be developed
from the admirable beginning that nature has pro
vided in close proximity to the seat of Government.
Centuries ago, nature covered the face bf this
region with an arboreal growth of wonderful beauty
and variety. One can see the contrast now-by riding-
between Washington and Baltimore. The eye' wan
ders over depressing stretches of bare 'and unattract
ive land, almost pathetic in its present aspect, and
evidently intended by Providence for another pur
pose. When we picture to ourselves what it once was
and may still be, we cannot but feel strongly in
clined to restore it.
As. a field of forest experimentation, the situ
ation is ideal. Nowhere else in the country do the
flora, .of the North and the South meet, and the
Department of Agriculture, in the event of the re
serve's creation, would have at its door a means of
initiating-'scientific work in tree culture that could
be imitated with profit in all the numerous reserves
in other parts of .the country.
If waafe-to stop where we are 'in forest develop-men&'-tfie''
project of a 'reserve near the National
Capital-can - be dispensed with; but if we are to go
ahead, and all signs indicate that we will do so, it
deserves the serious attention of Congress.
THE ARMY-NAVY GAME.
-From .New York comes the story that the great
Aririy-Navy-football contest df the Pdlo Grounds yes
terday lost most, of its character as a great united
service contest, and rather degenerated into a big
sporting spectacle, devoid of the sentiment that has
commonly attached to it. Not at all surprising. New
York's disposition is to make a sporting proposition
Of anything between dining out and a national elec
tion. Sentirhenf has a small chance in the.metrop-olisri-
iA
t Franklin Field, in Philadelphia, isn't perhaps as
big as might be desired, in point of accommodations
for the multitude, but "there is some reason to believe
that Philadelphia makes up in sentiment and in ca
pacity to recognize the distinctive character of the
contest' what it may lack in other directions. '
None the less, the real place for this contest is
Washington. Here is the headquarters of both
branches of the service. Here is the habitat of offi
cial society. Here is concentrated the greatest group
of the people who best understand the character,
quality, and purpose of such a contest as this. To
alternate these games between West Point and An
napolis, as has been suggested by some, would make
them altogether too local and provincial. To play
them in New York loses their distinctive quality in
the careless cosmopolitanism of that tremendous
population. The National Capital is the one proper
place for staging the great event. That is what The
Times said before the decision was reached in favor
of the Polo Grounds; and the outcome of the first
Contest there has completely vindicated that judgment.
very-recently. Not only that, but it will hardly be
denied that the retirement of Cowdray has in effect
given a new force to Monroeism, by strengthening
the assurance that sentimental objection of this coun
try will be regarded seriously without even the ne
cessity for diplomatic representations in such cases.
Latin America, it is to be confessed, has been led
to misconstrue our purpose in insisting upon the
Monroe Doctrine. That which we regard as a pro
tection to them the minor republics construe as a
menace. Yet there is reason to believe that they are
beginning to take a more accurate view. If we get
through the present crisis in Mexico -without inter
vention, and without permitting Europe' to intervene,
the record thus written in Mexico, construed together
with the Cowdray incident in Colombia, will surely
be understood by the smaller countries as assurance
of our good faith toward them.
Mr. Shuster fears that with increasing pressure
of population in Europe, seeking outlets into the vast
areas of the undeveloped Americas, we will at length
be put to the test of force to maintain the Monroe
Doctrine. That seems Tather unlikely. Honestly ad
ministered as President Wilson is administering it
in the affairs of Mexico and Colombia, for example
the Monroe Doctrine has a moral force behind it
that may be expected to count more in our favor than
a preponderance of battleship tonnage. With the
growth in population and power-of the smaller republics,-there
will come a time when something like
a pan-American Monroeism will divide the responsi
bility for maintenance of the doctrine; when the
other countries of this continent will have a larger
voice and a larger share in the burden of its enforce-
ment. That is the ideal which, it is to be hoped, may
guide the development of this cardinal feature of
foreign policy.
MINORS AND LIQUOR SELLING.
THE MONROE DOCTRINE.
Mr. W. Morgan Shuster publishes in the current
Century Magazine a study of the Monroe Doctrine
and its bearing on the foreign relations of the United
States. Mr. Shuster is excellently equipped by both
experience and intellectual qualities to consider the
subject in those broader aspects that are nowadays
commanding attention such rrs-has never before been
devoted to them. He finds. that the doctrine is about
the only foreign policy of this Government that re
mains fixed and permanent. As to other affairs, our
national attitude changes with the change of Ad
ministration. The broad general purpose of holding
the western continent aloof from the colonial enter
prise of the olcf world is the one fixed and permanent
feature of our international program.
But we are not consistent in that attitude, Mr.
Shuster insists. If we are to warn Europe out of the
Americas, we should ourselves keep out of the old
world. That we have not done, for we took the Phil
ippines, and now hold them by an anomalous tenure
which thus far has not at all clarified the problem of
their ultimate future. Moreover, while Monroeism
assumes purpose of saving the minor Americas to
their own people, those very people construe it as
rather a monopolization for ourselves of the oppor
tunity to exploit and dominate. We took Texas from
Mexico, Cuba from Spain, Panama from Colombia.
True, we did not retain Cuba, but Mr. Shuster ob
serves, and everybody realizes, that we would have
retained it save for an outburst of moral enthusiasm
which committed us to the Teller resolution in ad
vance of actual occupation of the island. As it was,
we took and held whatever else we could get our
hands on of Spain's.
Out of all this Mr. Shuster makes a right uncom
fortable case against the good faith and sincerity of
our foreign policy. Indeed, it seems that he is rather
unfair to this Government, bad as is the case against
it. A rule laid down by Monroe is necessarily modi
fied with the change of times and circumstances. The
Monroe Doctrine kept France out of Mexico, Britain
out of Venezuela, and in various other places pro
tected the Latin republics. The very fact that it is
theone overshadowing feature of our foreign policy
has been -enough to keepXowdray out of Colombia
There is no doubt that liquor is sold constantly
in Washington to minors, in violation of the law.
The fact that a lot of college youths celebrated a
football occasion by going out and testing the facili
ties for having a "good time" should not be made an
occasion for disgracing them. The notion of "inves
tigating" the performance which took place on the
evening following the Georgetown-Virginia game is
well enough, if it shall be an investigation of the
liquor sellers that violated the law. But so long as
the town licenses some hundreds of places to sell
liquor, and permits them to violate the law by selling
to persons not entitled to buy, the young men who
fell under that temptation ought not to be made the
real victims of the investigation.
Those excesses of virtue which inspire such in
quisitions as this might very well be suppressed.
There is room for a vast deal of improvement in
the management of the liquor-selling establishments.
But instead of getting them properly improved, we
see young men and women somehow getting liquor
in public .places, and their actions are denounced as
disgrace. The community permits the vending of
liquor to be made just as attractive, just as seductive,
just as tempting as it may be. The people who vio
late the law are not going to be particularly dis
graced by any investigation; the youths who have
fallen under these temptations may be, or feel that
they have been, which is much the same thing.
The liquor laws should be enforced all the time,
not spasmodically. Their enforcement should be so
handled that such "disgraceful" affairs as this col
lege celebration would not become "disgraceful."
The punishment for such affairs wants to land where
it belongs; investigation, publicity, ignominy, shame,
brought down upon the young people who were vic
tims, not offenders, will be exactly the wrong thing.

The rivers and harbors congress has for a decade
been contributing much of ephemeral enthusiasm and
little of workable constructive policy to the consid
eration of the big problem that interests its dele
gates. Our rivers are needed as highways of com
merce; they are needed as sources of power; they
require to be manacled so that in season they shall
not burst forth in flood and devastation upon the land.
But how to accomplish all this? If the national
treasury be placed behind the reformation of, say,
the Mississippi, there will be logrolling from every
quarter to get something equally good. River and
harbor appropriations musj be national, must reach
to all sections, else they will not get the votes neces
sary to pass them.
Is it not time to recognize that each great water
shed region should have power to handle its own
problem?
Suppose the Constitution could be so amended
that Congress might set off the Mississippi basin as
a drainage and taxation district, within which bene
fits should be apportioned and expenses distributed,
and each State then be required to contribute the
proportion assigned to it, in order to raise the total
sum needed to improve the Mississippi system of
rivers. Would that be impossible? Would it be
harder than under present conditions to face the fact
that votes for the Mississippi must be bought in Con
gress with votes tor Salt Creek and the Wapsipinicon
and the Tombigbec? Why not let Salt Creek and
the Wapsipinicon and the rest of them take care of
themselves, in their respective districts? If the dis
trict hasn't enough interest or concern to do the
work and pay the bills, let the river go untamed and
unbridled. But the watershed region that is willing
to deal with its own problem should have the chance.
The whole country ought not be taxed to serve local
ities. In the long run, it cannot stand such a drain.

The Kewpies'are upon us;
With the same persistency and
charm that they invafxd the pages
of tho woman's magazines, dignified
periodicals, an, the outside covers
of the weeklies, they havo, aided and
ahetted by a hird dimension, taken
shops, homes, and places of all kinds
of business by storm.
livery year or so the civilized
world is visited by a "sending." Now,
a "sending," as all of those who have
read their Kipling faithfully, will
know, is a concrete manifestation of
a higher civilized, stronger will than
our own, and may be either good or
bad. A person may be subjected to a
"third degree" of a certain brand of
hlotter. Immediately they are to be
found at every turn in books, In
clothing, in a thousand different
places where respectable blotters
never venture. Kipling once told
about a sending of little cats. That
was unpleasant, a blotter deluge is
annoying hut harmless, and the visi
tations which are the very best in
the world arenot usually recognized
as sendings at all !
But they are, just the same, and if
they come too fast, or do not suit
tho public, they are very soon
drummed out bag and baggage. All
public fads are sendings the Teddy
Bear was one, the Billiken, the green
Alpine hat, the long, tickly feather,
and the slit skirt Few live over two
years, many die In one.
The sending for this year, the lead
ing man in the Christmas toy drama,
and the most Important manifestation
of the times is the Kewple doll, and it
will live. To take a fast hold upon the
public, a fad must be either very, very
good or. very, very bad, the mediocre
manifestations die an easy death. Since
thero is good in the worst of us, and
bad In the best of us, the extremes
always find a market, and therefore
live.
Now a Kewpie has never been known
to inspire anything but smiles, and is
therefore a good sending. Try it and
see. One look at the little naked fel
low, without a mean thought in his
head or a cloe on his back, standing
with his UtUe bare legs and heels at
"attention," but with his head cockea
on one side and his face bearing an ap
pealing and ingratiating smile tnat beg
gars de&criptiou, is enough to melt a
neart of a bachelor.
His arms are outstretched and his
fingers outspread, he Implores "Take
me home." And tfcat is Just what nine
tenths of the populaUon have done
with him. His smile penetrates the in
nermost recesses of a grouch as water
wets a spongs. His nakedness and up
standing coiffure exert a fascination
more seductive than the wiles of Cleo
patra, and the hold that he has gained
upon the whole world is unbelievable.
He exerts nothing but good( and is a
good visitation. Since he is really noth
ing more nor less than a naked baby,
and as naked babies from the time of
Adam have proved such a popular fad
that they hae become hort or an insti
tution, it looks as if the Kewple had
come to stay.
Never before has a popular hobby
been made ur- in so many different ma
terials. Children generally get what
they want, and since they saw and ad
mired the Kewpie rhymes and stories
in the magazines, and demanded a
Kewpie doll, they have been given him,
not only In one. but in five or six dif
ferent forms. He Is made of rubber, of
celluloid, of bisque, of china, of plaster
of paris and of cloth.
Is a True Sending.
The main point In favor of the irrc
slbtiblc Kewpie, however, lies not alone
In his power to fascinate the children.
Tho fact that he has laid violent hold
upon the affections of grown persons
has sealed his fate forever. He Is a true
sending. He smirks from the office
desks and mussy bedroom chiffoniers of
crusty bachelors; he has his smile
Hashed back at him by the debutante
as she tucku in the final stray lock of
hair at her mirror; in all his un
clothed dignity, he invades tho sanc
tum hanctorum of the elderly maiden
ladv unl the strong-minded young
woman. Resides 11 of this uttention
from the old. he is packed oft to bed
every night with the young, who know
a good friend wh n they see one, ar.d
refuse to let a little matter like sleep
interfere with friendship.
Tho story of his life is lomantle. and
