Philadelphia. Window Gardens.

Philadelphia Inquirer.
 There is a little bit of Paris along West Walnut Street. that is really worth seeing-the window and balcony gardens, we mean. The City Parks As soCiation is to be commended for it's thoughtfulness in agitatIng the idea, and congratulated upon the success of it. Walnut Street, west of Fifteenth is beginning to glow in its richness of flower coloring. That the beautifi- cation of the avenue will become quite general cannot be doubted.
 Window boxes are very old institu- tions, and yet in Philadelphia 1t is only in comparatively few instances that they are found. The proposition to en- courage them. when 1t came before the Association. met with ready response. West Walnut Street is a central local ity. and the fact that several house. owners had long taken pride in mak- ing a bright exhibition outside their windows led the Association managers to turn their attention first of all in that direction. Their appeGAE to the owners have been exceedingly satisfy ing. The pretty boxes have multiplied and surely 1t will not be long before most of the houses will bear these dec orations, which not only add to the at- tractiveness of tho residences them selves. but give pleasure to all who pass along the street. It would not be at all surprising if window and balcony boxes should become the fad on Walnut Street, and when that becomes the case we may expect the fad to spread to numerous Streets.
 It Is such an inexpensive way to aid in beautifying the city that 1t would seem as if most house owners would be glad to add their mite. Indeed, 1t is so inexpensive that as a matter of fact many of the small two story houses which the electric cars reach, but which the wealthy downtowners rarely if ever see, have developed very handsome displays. showing that under modest roofs there is a love for the beautiful that makes itself manifest in a way that if generally adopted. would turn Philadelphia into a garden spot.
 And why not make it such?
 An ivy on a hideous end wall win dow box or two planted with flowers, a tree wherever possible-why, the whole appearance of the city would be changed.

 Republican.

Birmingham, June 27.-(Special J. Chairman J. O. Thompson, of the State Republican Committee, Collector of h. ternal Revenues for the Government in Alabama, and one of tho two referees of the President in appointments fin this State. announced today that the Republicans will for the last two months of the campaign wage some what of campaign in the interest of the Republican ticket in the South and in Alabama Hon. Charles Littleheld of Maine, has been invited to deliver addresses in this State, and at tho Chicago convention he assured MT. Thompson that he would be here. In- vitations will be extended to Senator Beveridge. of Indiana. and Senator Cannon, of Illinois, besides other Unit ed States Senators and Congressman to come to this State, and the pros- poets are that several will be here.
 MT. Thompson, when asked about Booker T. Washington being the ar bitter of appointments to be made by ana Scott being the referees, said he did not care much to discuss the state- r,,crts made. He said: "nr. Wash- iEgton Is an educator and not poli- tician. He takes no stock in the de- tail of politics but if called upon for advice will give 1t right. All matters of a political nature in Alabama will be referred to Scott and Thompson.
 He stated that there was no con temptation of the changes rumored all last week. The party Is working to- gether for the tickets now in this State he said In accordance with tho law under the constitution the Repub lican party must adopt an emblem and a motto for the ticket to be voted in November Mir. Thompson states that the picture of the Vulcan" statue at the st. Louis Fair set up by Birming- ahm has been suggested and will like ly be adopted as the emblem, with ''Progress and Prosperity the motto. MT. Thompson says that he would not be surprised to see Alabama swing around into the Republican column.
 As to himself he said that he would be content to collect the revenues in Alabama for some years instead of hunting another position. He stated that Judge Kyle received the endorse ment of the Republicans of Alabama for the Judgeship to which he was ap~ pointed today. lnasmuch as the South will be greatly interested in tne Panama Canal zone, the appointment of Judge Kyle was thought to be wise Judge Kyle lived in Tuskegee at one time.
