Thomas C. Plat.

There is at least one thing highly cred
table in the career of Thomas c. Plat
He is a voter, and he always votes No
off years with him. His voting place is
upstate, and it requires two railroad
journeys. Mr.. Plat lives in the city,
and for several years has been "shaky
on lis pins" But he never fails to make
the TWO trips. He goes up TO register,
and later to vote. He mas just registered
and two weeks hence you Will hear of
MS taking the train to vote. And yet
there are thousands of able bodied men
in New York who live close by their
registering and polling places and neglect
10 exercise their suffrage. They are either
too busy, or they forget it, or something
or other. The old boss votes and never
surrenders. That is worthy of praise and
imitation, even if it does appear to stand
alone on the merit side of the Platt ac-
count. 1t helps explain, too, the sena-
tors success in politics. There has never
been an off year with him.

officials into closer communication with

charge is made-often with reverence and
sympathy the spirit of democracy
has not sufficiently penetrated religious
organizations and activities; that the
humber classes feel chilled. and have
become Indifferent. because of the dis
lance that appears to them between their
spiritual guides and themselves. Hence
the growth all over Europe Of what is
called Christian democracy. and which in
many centers is encouraged by church
men and scholars of high repute. The
slogan is Get nearer to the people if

There is a large measure of praise to he
passed around among the men who have
stood up I'm defense Of the memorial trees
Of the Botanic Garden against the at
tempted onslaught Of the tree butchers.
Among the first men Of national stature
to hear the appeal of the people of Wash
ington and to raise hand against the
vandals was Speaker Joseph G. Cannon OF
Illinois Mr.. Cannon was quick to take
up the cudgels for the preservation of
the trees. Directly after his attention W is
called by The Star to the proposed van
dalism Mr. Cannon teegraphed the act
ing secretary of war, suggesting that Gen
Oliver advise the Grant memorial COM
mission to suspend work on the COnstruc-
ton of the foundation until the President
returns to Washington or until the mat
ter can he submitted to Congress"
Another man entitled to credit for his
activity in staying the execution of the
trees Is Gen. Robert Shaw Oliver, acting
secretary of war. 1t was he who set the
wires tiuglinS with the news and got
VOID through to the President in the
canebrakes of what was going forward
in the matter of tree murder in Washing
ton. 1t was Gen. Oliver who sent this
Great objection made by press and in

Speaker Cannon suggests postponement
until Congress can review the matter.
Contracts let pre- paration of site is begun:
postponement involves possible action for
damages. Under statute law you and
Grenville Dodge appear to be only persons
having authority. Dodge unwilling to take
action alone. Will you authorize me to
act for you in Case?'
The message brought this response from
Secretary Taft:
First l have heard of such difficulty;
authorize Dodge to act after conference
with President
A strong voice of warning to the tree
butchers was that of Justice John NJ.
Harlan of the United States Supreme
Court. 1t was a protest that was heard
all over the country. He said he would
call the attention of the President to the
case.
The appeal to the courts for protection
for the trees made by Mr.. Conrad H.
Syme served a vitality important part in
staying the ak at a time of great danger,
and the protests of the citizens assoca-
tons and the general outbreak of indig-
nation expressed through letters to and
interviews in The Star and other local
papers made such d showing of aroused
public sentiment that destructive activity
against the trees became almost i'm
possible.

to hold hands off until he can pass upon

within the past year there has been a de-

when bright minds turned toward "a gov
eminent job" is now a thing of the past,
and in some instances the government is
forced to advertise to have positions filled
which in former years were eagerly
sought. 1t Is true that there is always d
good list of el!gib!es on hand who have
passed examinations. but many of these
decline appointments because of openings
in business life that assure them of better

A Novel Antitrust Scheme.
From the Baltimore News.


Washington IS going to try a novel
scheme for preventing the crush on street
cars during the rush hours, morning and
afternoon Beginning next Monday an
army of men and women will strap on
roller skates and glide more or less grace
fully to their places Of business. The
scheme is so simple that it Is strange no.
body ever thought Of it demonstrating
down To work. We mean. OF course Wash
ington has heard of men having skate
on" before going home but few people
ever try it both going and coming The
only difficulty We see in the plan is get
ting up the hills; indeed. coastng down
them is sometimes accompanied by the
danger Of a skater getting under full
Roadway and being unable to stop until
he bumps into somethng-whch has its
disadvantages. Still. the exercise is fine
for the constitution. 1t is sad to realize
that, even ii Washington finds its novel
experiment furnishes solution of the
street car problem Baltimore cannot hope
to profit by it. Skating on Baltimore s
streets would be n very arduOus, not 10
say hazardous undertaking.

Who knows just why his friends succeed
And knows just why they fall:
Who knows why Brown divorced his wife
And JUST what caused the blow:
He always seems to know 50 much
That really isn't SO.
He knows who slugged Bill Patterson,
He knows the age CT Ann;
He knows how much his neighbor earns,
And tells Ii where he can;
He knows what caused the Frisco quake,
Why sirships Will not go;
It's wonderful how much he knows
That really isn't so.
Hes always busy night and day
Distributing the news:
No matter what you re talking Of.
This man you cannot lose.
He knows 1t all, without doubt
And this he'll plainly show;
1t is remarkable the things
He knows that are not so.
