Rock Creek Park.

Congratulations are due to the members
of the Rock Creek Park board of control,
who have Just compiled a comprehensive
report Of the history of that reservation,
upon their lear-sghted view of park re-
quirements and standards. They contrib
ute Valuahly to the present discussion of
the question OF park treatment in their
remarks upon the relative merits of nat
ural and artificial scenery. Their rejec-
ton of the "tailormade park" idea be-
speaks their keen appreciation Of the
truth that nature when unrestrained and
unregulated is more attractive than any
thing man can devise or fashion.
Rock Creek Park is a place of excep-
tionaI attractiveness, one of the finest
natural parks in the world, simply because
those who have had to do with its creation
and development have interfered in the
least possible degree with the scenery as
it existed when they took it into their
custody The ma sSes of trees, the irregu-
larities of the soil. the outcroppings of the
rocks may have sOrey offended the Su-
perOr taste of the landscape artists of
great fame. Possibly those eminent ex-
pertS in the correction of nature would
have terraccd the hills. walled the banks
Of the creek, rearrdnged the boulders.
clipped the underbrush into geometriC de-
signs and blaZed vistas through the reser-
ration To smite the eye with architectural
creations. Perhaps this is the artistic
method But it is safe to say that SO per
cent of those who walk or drive through
Rock Creek Park enjoy their experience
the more for the manner in which the
board of control has scrupulousIy adhered
to the policy of leaving things as they
We're, and providing merely enough roads
and paths to give access to all parts of It
This report of the seventeen years of
work by the board of control should be
carefully read by all citizens, as a guide
to method of park treatment which
should obtain in the handling of all pub
lie reservations

political trials we're necessary. And they
were forthcoming In all three trials the
rulings OF the bench were against the de-
fense. and democratic sheriffs succeeded
in filling the jury box with twelve men
Of that party. There was a feeble effort
made to show that on one of the juries
a republican served. but the republicans
Of the state repudiated the juror so de-
scribed.
The Judge sitting in the present trial
is a democrat designated by Gov. Beck

Of the inquest. The vicinage which sup
Piled the other iuries must supply this

the prisoner-of a procedure conforming
to fairness and justice. Passions that rose
from the tragedy have cooled, In the
campaign which closed a week ago ap-
peais for votes were again made from
the stump in Mr.. Goebel's memory, but
this time they failed. Assassination was,
Of course. not condoned. but the people,
thousands of democrats participating, re-

the subject. The Iegatees of Goebelism

Uncle Joe for the presidency. Was not
that the thing to do? Mr.. Tillman, who
does not love Mr. Roosevelt, might
have expressed suspicion of the latter's
thIrd-term declaration, as many demo-
Gratis are doing. But he counted Mr..
Roosevelt out, and picked Mr.. Cannon.
How much of a prophet Mr.. Tillman

would have conveyed more comfort to

Mr. Bryan of the most eXtravagantly
