The great May Day labor demonstrations
throughout this country and Europe happily
passed off without serious disturbances. The
vast army of wage-workers that engaged in the
demonstrations show how widespread and thor
ough the organization of labor has become.
But a more important fact was the comparative
good order maintained, showing that the gigantic
movement for lettering the condition of the
workmen is moving on rational lines under the
direction of cool heads.

Although the project for the establishment Of
the Columbus Memorial Park in Rock Creek
Valley received a temporary setback in the
House last week, its friends are confident it will
pass on the next District day There is no doubt
that a good majority of the enlightened and lib

and if proper effort is made to rally them to its
support when the measure again comes up it
will become a law. The friends of the park
should see to it that nothing is left undone to
insure this result

The decision of the District Supreme Court
that the Commissioners have the legal right TO
dismiss policemen without trial or the assign
ment of cause naturally makes the members Of
the force uneasy as to their tenure Of office
The present Board Of Commissioners are ad-
mitted on all hands to be fair and just men, but
nevertheless it is plain the policemen would
feel greater security if the law guaranteed them
immunity from removal except after trial and
conviction on definite charges This would
seem to be in accordance with the spirit of
American institutions, and it is to be hoped
efforts will be made to secure the passage of a
