The Capitals Shade Trees.

If Washington is to maintain its reputa-
ton as a city OF great attractiveness. 1t
must pay more attention to It's shade trees.
They are now one of the most conspicuous
features of the capital They delight the
eye of the visitor at first glance. They form
the dominant note In the entire street
scheme. According to the off1clal report
of the superintendent Of parking, there are
81 243 shade trees on the streets OF the city,
about as many as in Paris. with which
Washington is most frequently compared
in point of civic beauty. Yet Paris SPENDS
annually 100000 exclusively for the care
and preservation of these trees, while
Washington spends for the same purpose
only about $1,000 The meager allowance
for preservation, trimming. doctoring and
protecting is poor economy. The trees that
were blown down during the storms of the
past few months were virtually sacrificed
to the parsimony of Congress in this re-
spect. Had the appropriation for their care
been sufficiently large they would doubtless
have been kept in most cases In such
state of soundness that they would with
stand the stress of weather.
Every tree blown down by the wind or
diseased by insects through lack of atten-
ton must be replaced at a cost In both
initial outlay and in use for several years
While the saphng Is attaining a shade-giv-
ing growth it is OF no immediate value to
the city. Far better Is 1t to keep the old
stock in prime condition and reduce to a
minimum the necessity Of filling gaps.
The average citizen probably does not
realize the number of the shade trees. and
does not appreciate the amount of labor
necessary to give each careful inspec-
ton and sufficient degree of protection.
Ninety thousand trees constitute a heavy
responsibility upon the superintendent OF
parking, and he should have the means to
discharge his trust effectively. No more
worthy item of estimate increase Is likely
to come before the Commissioners than this.
which strikes at the root of the scheme for
the development of Washington as the
Paris of America" They should give 1t
their warmest Endorsement and their most
vigorous support iii Congress- with the as
sistance of every public spirited citizen.

Long-Distance Electric Railroading

The country will watch with exceeding in
terest the development of Joseph Ramsey's
projected enterprise for an airline railroad
between New York and Chicago on an cleo
trio basis. The great majority Of the trunk
lines between these two points, and. in fact
all, save the Pacific roads beyond the Mis-
sissippi. are the result OF small beginnings
gradually expanded and linked together
The present high standards of roadbed and
equipment have come as a matter of i'm
provement. probably representing a much
greater expenditure in the aggregate per
mile than IL the lines had been initially con-
structed on the present plane. With the ex-
ception of a few bits of trackage already
in existence. Mr.. Ramsey proposes to build
his line as an original enterprise, taking
a course not heretofore utilized by the rail-
road builders. 1t is announced that this
road will be low-grade. involving a mini
mum of curves and climbs and taking ad-
vantage of mountain crossings previously
neglected by the engineers.
One of the most interesting features Of

Texas.

One Is inclined to smile at the energy OF
the Texas republicans. They are power
less as against the democrats. having no
more show than a SNOWFALL would have In
a certain warm country. But In a row
among themselves they display an agrees
siveness of the first order. Two state tick
cts are now In the field. each claiming to
be the simon pure republican article. The
democrats have just made their nomina-
lions. 1t would be incorrect to describe
them as ready for the fray, for there will
be no fray. They will simply await election
day. and then take everything In sight. If
the Texas republicans are simply preparing
for the next national convention they would
do well to reflect on the extreme unlfkeli-
hood Of nomination by that body through
the instrumentality of southern delegates.

The WAY OF A WOMAN.

The world is full Of heroines
Whose brav'ry none can doubt;
In circuses they face the lions.
At home put thieves to rout-
Rut when the storm has passed away.
The trouble disappears,
why Is II that they always say:
she then burst forth In tears!
A sudden panic thrills the school,
The children rush to death;
The gentle teacher, calm and cool,
Controls them with her breath.
But when the horrid fear Ia quelled.
The tumult once more sleeps.
Why is Ii, by some force impelled,
She sits right down and weeps.
The fire is burning In the mill.
The ferror-stricken run
To dash pell-mell across the sill
And perish every one.
A I~oman leaps before their path;
They stop, In ordered streams
They file TO safety from deaths wrath.
While she sits down and screams.
I guess, from Helen. fair. of Troy,
Onto Joan of Arc,
Twas ever woman's way Of JOY
To move In mysteries dark.
No doubt, when Mollie Pitcher. bold,
In battles blood was painted,
She fought like AmazoDs OF old
And went right homu and tainted!

The Monroe Doctrine.

The Paris Temps. in discussing Secretary
Roots speeches In South America. says:
Latin America feels the need Of guar
antees against the United States as well as
against Europe. The Monroe Doctrine pro-
tects the republics against Europe, but 1t
leaves them defenseless against the United
States"
What guarantees" does Latin America
need against US? We have never attempt
ed anything to their injury. never given
them the slightest reason to fear US. And.
as a matter OF fact, they never have
feared US. The only suggestions to our
discredit have come from European sources
Here and there some Latin-American news
paper has echoed the European snarl. but
the representative sentiment of those coun-
tries has never been prejudicial to the
United States. Mr.. Roots speeches are in
line with the deliverances Of many Ameri-
can statesmen. and are Strengthening and
not originating bonds between our southern
neighbors and ourselves. The Secretary Is
an able advocate. but not pioneer.

Higgins and Odell.

Former Governor Odell of New York Is
quoted as saying on the subject OF the re-
publican situation In that state:
TT Is the custom of the republican party
to refuse a renominetion to Its governors;
There has been only one exceptioh. anu

correctness Of the rule which denies re-
nomination to governor p! oon thn. .

garded and discarded as a weakness The

and vice versa. The energy OF today's &C.
nunciation may be- and often Il. the key to
tomorrow's praise. You may never be Ger
tain Of anything but that everything Ii
uncertain.
Take this case of Gov. Higgins. He has
by general consent given the state good
administration. Democratic newspapers
have testified to the fact as freely as the
newspapers of the governors own party.
His personal character Is above reproach.
He has long been a figure In the politics OF
the state He Is anxious to succeed himself
in office But his party Is warned not to
put him up. Mr.. Odell does not threaten
the knife at the polls. but there is sus-
picion that he has his blade in order and
will use 1t II his wishes about the nomi-
nation are disregarded. He is not. as the
man he fights. above reproach- Some
severe charges are made against him. and
both as man and politician he has many
enemies.
The question IS therefore. shall Higgins
or Odell triumph? Shall the man who by
general consent has carried himself we'll in
office. throwing his influence to good legis-
lation and particularly at the latest session
of the law-making body. be renominated
and an appeal made for Endorsement on the

Public Ownership and Operation.

We are not to lack for information about
the public ownership and operation of pub
lie utilities so far as the record abroad
goes. Investigation is following investiga-
ton by Americans on the spot and reports
will shortly be forthcoming. The committee
appointed by the Civic Federation Is busy
with the subject. Mr.. Bryan is giving
little time to it. and 1t now appears that
Mayor Mcclellan Of New York while on
his vacation in Europe has been looking
into the matter. Let US have all the light
possible.
Mayor Mcclellan Is quoted as not being
favorably impressed with what he has seen
and heard. The policy has not been sue
cessful over there and he doubts IL we could
transplant and apply It to advantage over
here. An opinion so pronounced. and SO at
variance with some current notions. Is very
Interesting. and calls for details. We shall
probably get them when the mayor returns
1t will be recalled that the Glasgow ex-
pert. Mr.. Dalrymple. who visited Chicago
at Mayor Dunne's invitation to give an
opinion as to the single question OF nunici-
pal ownership and operation OF street rail-
ways in that city expressed himself I'M
favorably. He found such differences be-
tween Chicago and Glasgow In municipai

ton could not, as he thought. be repeated
by the former The friends of municipal
ownership and operation, however, with
Mayor Dunno at their head. were not con-
WINGED and they still insist that success Is
possible there.
1t Is a very broad and important propo-
sition as applied to the numerous pubic
utilities In this country. with our many
great cities our representative city. state
and national governments. and the chang
ing conditions of our rapid and constant
growth. We do many things weli-better
than they have ever been done elsewhere
But the spirit of progress and observation
Is upon US. and when we see what looks
like a good thing we want 1t.
But as all change Is not progress. we
should be certain of any new ground be-
fore we take it. Our city governments are
full Of defects. our state governments just
now are under fire, and the national gov
eminent is exercising greatly augmented
power The institutions of America. how
ever are as Americans view them, still
the best in existence. and the products OF
individual initiative. Any radical departure
from that line therefore should be most
carefully calculated. and executed with the
EXTREMIST caution.
