The people of the District learn Of Sena-
tor Proctors retirement from the Senate
District committee with regret. He has
served the capital for several years in this
capacity to the entire satisfaction and
marked benefit of the community and has
displayed an exceptional understanding OF
both the relations of the District to the
government ard Of the opportunities and
needs for broad improvements in the ma
tional capital. His retirement from service
on the committee is caused by the pressure
of his other committee engagements, which
are becoming nationally important. Mr..
Proctor is now one of the leaders of the
upper house, and it would have been graft
flying If he could have retained his direct
connection with local legislation. Yet it is
to be believed that he will not forego hts
interest in the capital, but will continue TO
manifest the same degree of concern in the
projects for municipal betterment which he
has in the past shown in connection with
his direct committee service. There is good
report Of his successor, Ex-Governor Dill
bingham, who comes to the Senate with the
prestige Of a hard worker and a man o.
clear views.

The Parsons Plan.

The Parsons plan for the improvement of
the mall and the connection of Rock Creek
and Potomac Parks grows in attractiveness
as it is studied. Its full publication In yes
terday's Star enabled the reader to appre-
ciate what high standard of beauty Mr..
Parsons has set for the city. 1t is none
too high. 1t Is the ideal toward which the
capital makers should be forever striving.
The plan commends Itself it is observed, to
the hearty approval of all three officers
through whose hands it has passed, Secre-
tary Root Gen. Wilson and Col. Bingham
The Secretary's Endorsement is a pointed
recommendation for favorable considera-
ton and action. This should go far toward
persuading Congress, always somewhat
slow in such enterprises to take up the
scheme at the earliest practicable moment
and consider ways and means for its eXecu-
ton.
1t ought to be regarded as determined
policy to rescue the northern abutments OF
the mall from their present slovenly. dis
reputable condition. Mr.. Parsons plan &C
Complishes this end 1t goes further, as it
should, and provides for enlargement of
the park toward the south, thereby giving
space for broad treatment strictly in &C
cord with the spirit OF the capital and
with its possibilities and necessities The
project Of altering the surface of the park
to offer the aspect of undisturbed ma
ture is commendable. Mr.. Parsons has
scientifically studied the requirements of
city in the matter of breathing spaces and
natural adornments. His work in New York
At Central Park speaks eloquently for his
taste and skill 1t is fortunate that the
tentative project for this great and i'm
portant local betterrnent should have been
entrusted to such competent hands.
Congress can at this session at least ac-
compish the very desirable end Of determ-
lining upon the principle of utilizing for
public building sites all the area lying be-
Already it has secured statistics from the
Commissioners showing the cost of a gen.
eral condemnation Of this space AS the
demand for more public buildings gathers In
force the reasons for entering at once upon
this broad enterprise accumulate. Each
time single square Is taken from the
general area for building purposes the
value of the residue Is raised The ques-
ton Immediately occurs whether it is not
government to buy all the land now. while
i. is at comparatively low stage OF value,
even though ii should not utilize all Of IT
for some years to come. 1t will certainly
thus reap the benefit of its own enterprise,
instead of leaving it to private owners to
secure the advantages of increased prices
caused by pecemeal public works.

lngratItude.

There is probably no human
failing that casts so many
shadows over life as ingratitude.
1t is sin which stings sharply.
wounds deeply and causes a
sorrow only born of ingratitude.
In every sphere and walk of life
the Migrate is met with, always
cold, selfish, yea inhuman. And
no class or profession is better
acquainted with this undesira
bic character than the news
paper editor or reportorial pro-
fession. The Fayetteville Jour
nal we'll says.
Editors are said to be cynical.
Is it any wonder? What other
profession meets with such con-
stant and universal ingratitnde?
Through the life Of what other
man does this black sin so per
sistently drag its Shiny form
No other avocation is so full of
unselfishness, helps SO many
people, builds so many fortunes,
makes so many regulations.
No other is SO given to express
sions Of kindness, sympathy and
benevolence. The editor has a
word of encouragement for every
work of enterprise and philan-
throphy, and words of approval
for every deserving public act,
sending sunshine and happiness
into thousands of lives. That
newspaper has never been print
ed which has not something in
it to help some one. Scientists,
scholars, devines, politicians,
IrddeSmen, STateSmen, Oy the
million, owe their fame and pros
perity to the editor. Nor does
he help only those Whoom the
world calls great. He is a friend
to the triendless and a constant
benefactor to all classes. How
few manifest any appreciation
for what he has done for them?
His benevolenc is accepted as a
matter of course. How many
repay him with the basest in
gratitude. Is it any wonder
that he is full of cynicism and
even of bitterness when he thus
continually encounters the cold
ness, the meanness, the emit
ness, of human nature.-Silver

alton that "under no CirCum-

but he knew nothing whatever
of tecraft. " AS an American,
patriot and a seaman he occu-
pies the topmostrund of the lad

in that enviable position and es-
chewed politics altogether. His
motives are impugned already.

the tool of intriguing politicians.

The Denver Stockman COM
ments thus on the policy adopted
by some of Arizona s cattle rails
ers: Stockmen in southeastern
Arizona have evolved a new idea
in open range cattle growing
which will mark an advance in
this branch of the cattle indus
try. They have dubbed to-
gether and made up a purse to
buy 200 high-grade bulls out of
hereford or Durham cows
These bulls will be turned on
the range, controlled by about
fifty stockmen. Such a plan is
a most creditable one and will
bring but one result-a first class
lot of cattle, and at the same
time each individual rangeman
will secure the full benefit of
his investment, and not be i'm
posing on his neighbor for bull
service. These stockmen are
using the advertising colums OF
the Stockmen to make their
wants known. Their notice will
be found on the first page.
