kansas. 1t Ia true, the Berry people COM
plain OF some unfairnsss on the part Of the
Davis people. but 1t 10 rarely the case that
election results go altogether unchaiiensed-
And SO 1t 10 that the majority OF the Ar
kansas democrats have spoken Tor Gov.
Davis, and Of the Tennessee democrats
for ex-Goy. Taylor. The majority rule. or
should rule. These two men when they
reach the Senate will represent the con-
stituencies which have chosen them. Ana
IL they suit Arkansas and Tennessee, the
country at large need not object
Enemies of the primary plan appear to
assume that If the matter had been LETT
to the old plan both Mr.. Berry and MI.
Carmack would have been reelected. But
that Is not safe assumption. There was
opposition to both men, and this would
have found expression before the leg1sia-
lures as Ii did before the people At both
Little Rock and Nashville a warm battle
would have been waged, probably dead
lock produced, and all other interests sub
ordinated to the senatorship matter. And
even then Gov Davis and ex-Gov. Taylor
might have won, or dark horses OF no
more attractive character forced to the
front
But, anyhow. Arkansas and Tennessee
have spoken. II the men they have selected
do not measure up to standards elsewhere
they undoubtedly do to the standards that
now prevail where they live. and that IL
the point and the whole of the case.

Speaking of the success In. Arkansas Of
Gov Davis over Senator Berry. and in
Tennessee of ex-Goy. Taylor over Senator
Carmack, the New York Evening Post
says:
1T must be confessed that In these its
latest fruits. the direct primary Eas not

But 1t cannot be said that these results
were not obtained by approved American
methods which are applied without eriti-
cism 10 other very high Offices The can

Park Donation.

Mfr John B. Henderson has set praise
worthy example before the citizens of the
District by his action in Internationally
donating a tract of land for use as a pub
lie park The capital will develop the more
rapidly TO its full stature as a great federal
city through such pubiic-spirited deeds
This example Is the more valuable now that
Congress shows tendency to locate more
public buildings upon the lands reserved
for park purposes. The citizens of sew
eral different parts of the District are
asking for appropriations for the creation
of new parks, The necessity of plenty OF
open land for breathing purposes has been
fully recognized by the community Ex-
Senator Henderson 8 donation should not
lessen the pressure upon Congress for such
appropriations as may be needed to sup
ply the needs OF the nslghborhoods which
are now without adequate park facilities.
but at the same time 1T displays a spirit
which is TO be warmly commended

Spelling Reform Progress.

Spelling reform is making headway In
New York city. where FIVE of the nine
superintendents have already adopted GER
tain OF the approved phonetic words for
use IN their own correspondence. At
recent meeting of the superintendents ar
guments were delivered by Prof Brander
Matthews and Col. Charles E. Sprague on
behalf of the lately organized society for
the prosecution Of spelling reform. They
especially urged an agreement upon the
simple forms of the words that are now
varieusiy spelled by the different dietion-
aries. They recommended. for instance
that Comptroller be spelled controller,
although the former form Is axed by stat
ute In New York city: that .'rhyme' be
spelled rirne.'' and that such other forms
be adopted as program .'catalog..

Street Car Straps.

There will be keen public interest in the
result of Commissioner Biddle's letter to one
of the local traction companies asking 1t to
furnish him with an explanation as to the
absence of straps from some of its sub
urban cars The question was raised by an
INDIGNANT car rider, who complained that
the straps had been taken out of the cars
and that his request that they be restored
was politely refused by the officials of
the corporation. Now the Engineer Com
missioner adopts the role of the man from
Missouri. --- =
The absence of the straps from the cars
in question has been a source of much won-
derment and discomfort for several months.
Just why these first aids to the seatless
were eliminated from the equipment is a
mystery to the man in the aisle. He re-
members that somewhere, once upon time,
a traction magnate declared that the straps
in the cars were dividend makers and he Is
prone to wonder why the local line should
have eschewed so important a feature of Its
outfit.
The removal of the straps can logically be
interpreted as hint that aisle standees are
not welcome. Does this mean that passen-
gers are not to board cars on which there
are no vacant seats? Is 1t to be regarded
as an assurance that if the patrons of the
line will only be patient and wait long
enough they will find accommodations?
Does 1t mean that more cars will be sup
piled! These are some of the questions
which possibly the official reply to Commits
sioner Biddle's inquiry will answer Mean
while the spectacle Of cars that seat forty
people and carry one hundred without the
aid of straps may be hourly witnessed in
this District.

Mr.. Williams on the Navy.

Encouraged, It may be, by the success OF
Bob Taylor In Tt nnessee Mr.. Williams pre-
scented himself In the House yesterday In
the role of humorist and satirist. He Is not
to be congratulated on the performance. II
Is not his best role. and his subject WAS not
well chosen. Great ornaments may be an
evil. Some able and very earnest men think
they are, and hope for their disappearance
1t is to be doubted. however. If they can be
laughed out Of existence. But even II that
were possible 1t could only be accomplished
by real Cervantes. Stump wit is hardly
equal to the trick.
MIR. Williams erred in this matter because
he is a man of ability with serious side.
and. II fortune favors his party. very high
and responsible station is in store for him.
The naval problem IL a continuing problem,
and II Mr.. Williams occupies the Speakers
chair In the next House he will have to deal
with it In a way commensurate with Its
great Importance. It would pain HINT
would certainly pain his party-if COM
mittee named by him as Speaker were to
frolic with the subject after the fashion he
has set.
Equally regrettabde and out of place too
was the reference to the kaiser. The Ger
man emperor is fair game and good game
in an unofficial way. and for men In private
station. But the House as an official body
should not be entertained by q member as
piring to its highest ONCE at the expense Of
the ruler Of a government on terms Of
hearty friendship with this government.
And maybe the democratic party will not
relish that so much on the eve OF a cam
paign in which Mr. Williams IL to be Its
leading figure. 1t may not greatly matter
as to the President. who Is associated with
the kaiser In the rough pasquinade, for.
whether IT is right or wrong we are accus-
toned to dealing rather freely with our
own.
Is there a notice here to Captain Hobson?
May he expect after this speech any SYM
patty Or assistance from Mr. Williams In
his views about the navy7 Probably not:
and If Mr.. Cannon should again be the
Speaker he could do nothing better than be-
stow such recognition on the young Ala
bamian as would bring him into active OPP
position to Mr.. Williams on this very ques-
ton. What would be the result of an en-
gagement between 'Skeered o Nothfn'
