The Mall and Public Buildings.

The projected Mail boulevard vista con-
unues to attract the attention OF members
of Congress who are considering the de-
velopment demands Of the capital Here
and there a disposition exists to proceed
with the emplacement of public buildings
on the basis of that recommendation of the
Senate park commission which contem-
plates the establishment of a series of
structures along the northern edge of the
Mall facing inward Indeed the two items
go together. The boulevard vista project is
excused by It's advocates chiefly on the
ground that II gives access to these build
ings. while conversely the buildings are
urged for these sites on the score that they
will appropriately fringe the vista. And in
point of fact both the vista and the en-
placer,ent of public buildings within the
Mall are highly Objectionable from every
artistic development Of the capitals great
est park.
The proper place for the public buildings
Of the future is within the great triangle
lying just north OF The Mall The proper
treatment of the Mall itself lies along the
lines OF its present aspect. 1t should be
considered as q city Substitute for a stretch
of wooded, road broken country. That was
the inspiration of the Downing plans
which have yielded such beautiful results
In the Smithsopian section and. but for the
interference of the railroad at 9Th street
would doubtless have continued their at
tractiveness to the eastern edge of the great
reservation.
The Mall-avenae triangle is desirable as
the place for the future constructions Of
the government for several reasons 1t is
conven'ent of access. Buildings placed
there will have relationship to each other
and to the two focal groups of buildings al
ready in existence. that on Capitol Hill and
that centered around the White House.
The utilization of this space in full. with an
appropriate park treatment between build
ings win eliminate ore OF the most objec-
tionable features Of the c.tys present

Yesterdav,s ELECTION in Cuba.

1t is in order again to congratulate the
good people of Cuba They held their
congressional elections yesterday-"the
first ever conducted entirely under Cuban
auspices"-and everything passed of quiet
ly and satisfactorily. No violence Is re-
ported from any quarter. The vote was not
heavy, but hustling after the American
fashion marked the proceedings here and
there. We may all easily picture to our
selves that scene where carriages were
used in getting the infirm or the Indifferent
to the polls. The sides of the houses were
of course swathed with cotton posters.
Smith foreveri' was the legend-or Jones
or Brown-and the drivers f1ourished their
whips with energy. Those who were riding
felt their Importance. Those along the
way saw that the candidates were very
much alive, and they were all the more
particular about casting their own ballots
There is a good deal in a good start. and
the Cubans have made good one. Their
friends are greatly encouraged. and their
enemies as greatly confounded. .Predic-
tions were numerous that they could not
stand alone. Some of those who rejoiced
in their emancipation from Spain shared
in the uneasness. The time fixed for chaos
to come again varied from twenty-four
hours to thirty days after the hauling down
of the Stars and Stripes. 1t was clear as
daylight to some people that the with
drawal Of American authority would be un-
fortunate for the real interests of the
island.
One swallow. we are assured, does not
make a summer. One fair and free cleo
tion does not guarantee the Cubans against
election abuses and polling place turbu-
lence. They may come. and when they
come they may try the institutions of Cuba
sorely. We have them in the United States.
and they are ugly things to deal with.
Unfortunately. they at times accompany,
even in a republic. strenuous contest for
power. But one fair and orderly election
shows that such an election can be held,
and is an Incentive to all men who value
free government and good government to
participate in public affairs and help keep
the sources of power pure and wholesome
What was done in Cuba yesterday toward
recording III an honest and orderly way
the wishes of the people respecting the
complexion Of their congress can be done
again, and as long as that spirit prevails
all will be well with our island neighbor.

New York Indorses Roosevelt.

1t took the New York republican state
committee just eight minutes on Saturday
to dispose of a roorback which had had
run of at least six months. After fixing
the day for holding the state convention.
when delegat es-at-large to the Chicago con-
vention will be chosen, the committee
unanimously adopted the following resolu-
ton:
''The republican state committee of New
York state takes this occasion to declare
its entire loyalty to President Theodore
Roosevelt. .As the representatives OF his
party in his native state we are proud OF
his distinguished services to his country.
We admire his alert Americanism and his
devotion to the highest Ideals of govern
ment. His character. his fidelity to the
progressive principles of republicanism.
and his sngleness of purpose in admins
tering the affairs of government In the
interests of the entire nation have COM
mended him to all good citizens without
regard to party We pledge to him our
earnest support for denomination and look
with confidence to the verdict Of the people
on election day.
For months. whenever any friend of the
President. discussing the coming presi-
Dental campaign. has mentioned his pop
ulsrity in the west he has been told that
that was fatally offset by his lack of
strength at home. What did 1t matter
about the west when the Presidents own
people were against him. and would prob
ably not instruct for him? Look then, at
Ohio. where Mr.. Hanna would oppose In
structions. Look also at Indiana, where
the Fairbanks Influences would defeat in
structions. Look at the south. where
Hanna sentiment everywhere prevailed,
and would assert itself at Chicago. The
west would count for but little when the
roundup came. She would get her rope
outside of her own reservation. Western
hurrah. 1t was confidently asserted, could
not make the nomination.
What does the record of today show? The
New York state convention will speak April
Il as the state committee has just spoken.
and the President could not ask for
heartier expression of support. Mr.. Han
mas parting injunction to Gov. Herrick waa
in the interest of sending Roosevelt dele
gates to Chicago. Not only will Indiana
Instruct for the President, but as matters
are shaping themselves Mr.. Fairbanks may
be his running-mate In the south even the
Lily Whites areeable to see the futility of
opposition to- the inevitable. The south has
nothing to offer the republicans at the polls.
and. recognizing this. has decided not to
attempt a silly and bumptious role at the
national convention.
The Jig Is up with Wall street and its
little anti-Rooseveft propaganda. MIR.
Roosevelt will be nominated by acclama-
ton. or by vote so closely approaching
unanimity as to set the seal of discredit
and absurdity IN any feeble pipe Of objec-
ton that may be sounded at Chicago.

New Tailor-
Made Suits,

The Tailor-made Suit, the ideal
garment for women, will doubtless
reach the zenith of popularity this
season.
We are now showing an unusually
large and choice collection of Tailor
made Suits. The styles are more
elaborate, more dressy this season,
and many new effects and smart
shapes are evident.
The new materials, which are
more fancy than usual, tend strong
ly to light effects and they are very
attractive. The trimmings, which
consist of braids, silks and silk or
naments, either match or blend ar
tistically in combination The skirts
are radically different in shape and
those that just escape the ground
predominant.
We believe our present collection
OF High-class Tailor-made Suits is
second to none in the country-and
the vast array of styles and materials
renders it easy to make selection
to suit the individual taste.
The prices range from
$500 to S08.OO.

He played all the tips on the races
That any one offered to him;
He indulged in the liquid that braces
But leaves the eye moistened and dim.
He harked to the men who are telling
How stocks are quite certain to go;
He cheerily mortgaged his dwelling,
And when he was deepest in woe
He vowed that the fate unpropitious
Conspired 'gainst his wisdom and pluck
And henceforth he'd be superstitious
And admit the existence of 'Iuck."
