Congress, in Washington, seems to
have made up it's mind that having
provided for the fact that we must
take care of the Philippines and of
Cuba there is not to be any army
with which to take care of it, and
that the armed resistance is to be
made by proclamation. Well, 1T is a
little soul-harrowing to have TO deal
with cattle who take that view of
the responsibility of the nation. =

THE EASTERN PARKWAY

Inc litigation of a few DAYS ago conrerninq
inc eastern Parkway in Brooklyn calls re-
heWed attention TO one OF the best planned and
worst treated of all our urban thOroughfares
For many years that Parkway has had n poten
.iai anu eApectaht existence. 1t has never been
brought anywhere near completion. # has heon
and is to-day abominably misused, and It is
not and never has been possible for ANYBODY
10 make anything like satisfactory use OF #
Even such improvements" as are from time
to time made upon it seem TO be under n
ban OF evil advice. so that instead of max
ing 1t better they make it actually worse than
before.
The litigation referred 10 was intended 10 &C.
cure the extension Of another trolley line across
me Parkway. Such extension should probably
De made. But the demand for 1t should have
been coupled with stipulation that the cross
ing should not be at level grade but that the
tracks should be depressed and sent through n
tunnel underneath the Parkway. Similarly the
various trolley lines that now cross the Park
way should he compelled to pass under it, as.
for example. the line in Church-ave now passes
under the Ocean Parkway. The rule should be
liked that no railroad Of any kind. electric or
steam. shall cross one OF those much frequented
parkways at level grade. That rule would be
particularly easy to comply with on the Eastern
Parkway. the lay OF the land" facilitating II
TO an exceptional degree
As for other features Of the Parkway needing
prompt and radical reformation, they are so
obvious as scarcely TO require mention The

miners 10 use. Consequently all the heavy traf-

traffic is supposed 10 be confined 10 them but
OF course IL IS not. Instead, IL uses the cen

ment is consequently much OF the time in the
condition of a corduroy road after an earth
quake
There has recently been erected large monu-
ment right I'm the centre OF the roadway NJ the
crossing Of Bedford-ave. 1t IS Il monStrous and
dangerous obstruction TO traffic at the most
crowded point Of the whole thoroughfare. The
prOpriety OF putting it there at all is gravely TO
ne questioned. But if it is to be there, both
the Parkway and Bedfordave. should be so
wldened at their intersection as TO form q spa
clous plaza about it, that people can drive
past IL in any direction in safety-something
which they cannot do now. In its present con
dition the Eastern Parkway is. as it has been
for years, n disgrace to the city. Completed
and maintained according 10 rational plans, it
would be one of the finest thoroughfares in the
world.
