Odell and Hughes,

The scheme of ex-Gov Odell to regain
prestige by booming Gov. Hughes for Pres
ident is cheekily characteristic and char
acteristically cheeky. OF course he Is not
for Hughes, any man Of the Hughes
stripe He does not flourish with such
men In office. They are not of his kind
or amenable to his influence. 1t will be
strange If this man ever RECEIVERS his grip
on his party, and certainly 1t will be a
blue day for the party If he should. The
bosssm of his kind has been thoroughly
exposed and most emphatically repudiated,
and If the republicans of New York should
return to 1t so soon after. it would in effect
be a surrender of every advantage they
have enjoyed since turning over the new
leaf Odel bearing Hughes copies the
Greeks bearing gifts. But he will not get

The reason is plain. Proper attention has
not been given them. 1t Is the same In
many Of the small parks. Grass seed.

good condition. There has been neglect.

Motor Statistics.

out the horse as mans chief means of short

compiled by a Frenchman indicate. In the
nine years that have elapsed since the ex-
pertinent of seif-propelled road vehicles

sold for a round billion dollars. Until a
year ago France, which was the pioneer In
the automobile movement, led the world

Big Stakes in a Big Game.

just as an instance of the costliness of
life in some of the crowded spots it may
be mentioned that according to the news
reports a certain financial magnate oc-
casioually very much in the public eye
has just leased a suite of apartments in
New York hotel overlooking Central
Park for which he is to pay $4,000 a
year That figures up to a little more
than Sl2G a day which this plutocrat will
pay for mere shelter and the Incidental
service OF hotel life. 1t will not include
his food and extras, which. on the same
scale, are likely to more than double the
bill.
The other day Washingtonian re-
turned from the same city and reported
that he had been the guest Of man
who had many kinds of money and who
entertained party of friends one after
noon by hiring a big touring car that
cost $3.50 for the first hour and Sc for
each subsequent hour. 1T was in use nine
hours.
The man who is paying $4,000 a year
Tor his rooms and the man who pays over
$50 for days motor car service are
spending for style. The former would
be quite as comfortable in a suite of
rooms that cost one-tenth as much as
he now pays. and the latter would be
almost as well served by So hack But
neither would be satisfied. The man in
the hotel would not get the park view
and the elegance of surroundings and
the prestige, and the motor rider would
not get the fattering appearance of pros
perity and sense Of luxury derived from
seat In a smart automobile
Both OF these men are contributing to
the immense current of coin that GIBBS and

'here Is one which invites all classes of

The Architects and Washington.

Washington Is peculiarly adapted to the
purpose of a convention Of architects such
as that which has just assembled. 1t Is .
city Of rich opportunities for profitabl"
study. city of inspiration. and. furthe~
more. city OF assured artistic development.
1t is the ideal meeting place of men who
IRE at work evolving high standard of
American structural art, and 1t always ex-
tends a special welcome to the organizations
of this character which select 1t for their
annual gatherings.
The members of the Architectural League
IF America find here the foundations of a
magnificent city. already highly developed.
but By no means brought to it's full posi-
bilities The ground plan was laid down by
President Washington on a scale which dis
closed the great breadth of his mind and
the remarkable sense Of national advance
ment which he possessed. Neglected for
many years. with only minimum Of con-
struction to care for the government 3
needs. Washington has begun to grow into
it's full stature only within the past two or
three decades.
Every citizen from the states who visits
the capital may become Il missionary in
the field of national endeavor for the has
tening of Washington's full evolution as the
ideal federal city Especially are the archi-
tects who come here capable of doing effect
i've work in this field. With high appre-
citation of the city's possibilities and of the
plans partly executed and those awaiting
legislative action, they can do much toward
aroUsinS the sentiment of the country at
large in favor of an early finishing of the
long-neglected work
One of the most serious drawbacks to the
evolution of the capital heretofore has been
the disposition of Congress to provide :or
the government building needs only as
they became urgent. The result has been
that there are today many problems 20
solve which, under different and more
forehanded system of provision, would have
been avoided. This has been the most
expensive and the least satisfactory method
but there are today no insuperable OBJ
staCles to the working out of the Greater
Washington plans to their utmost limits.
There is already In evidence throughout
the United States a healthy public senti-
ment in favor of the ideal Washington. The
people have read widely concerning what
Europe has done in this direction. and the
national pride Is aroused in behalf of the
advancement of the District from its pres
ent unfinished state to 4 condition of at
Effectiveness which will rival the best that
the old world affords. Every tourist who
comes here leaves with the distinct impress
sion that Congress has been remiss in its
duty. and the architects. with their tech
meal sense of artistic possibilities, can go
far toward giving this sentiment point and
producing results. They can. in particu-
lar, seek to crystalline the demand already
in evidence in many quarters that the ma
tional legislature formally adopt the Senate
park commissions plans and thus put an
end to future shiftings and delays in the
emplacement of buildings and the develop
ment OF the public reservations on broad
and comprehensive scale.

nomination. and in way Is committed to
his leadership
Here is what Mr.. Bryan has to say about
that good southern man." not referring
specifically to any one of the half dozen
men who have been mentioned:
''If the most ayailab BILE man is a southern
man let candidate be from the SOUTH
The same Is true of the north, the east.
the west. The real democrat from any
section will poll more votes in any Other
section than one whose democracy Is certi-
fed to by Wall street, whose inquiries have
so aroused the public that even many re-
publicans trying to get away from It's
influence"
This presents the difficulty. Some OF the
highest tributes to Mr.. Culberson In the
effort to score against Mr.. Bryan have
come from Wall street sources-sources so
close to Pierpont Morgan a upon the bare
reading to suggest his influence That fact
Of course discounted them They were far
less ro-Culberson than anti-Bryan MI
Culberson was used simply a. stick to
beat Mr. Bryan with.
No southern man who has been men
toned" for the presidency has for q mo-
ment himself been misled by the compll-

affairs, and know what the game of poll
tics is Neither Judge Gray. nor Mr.
Daniel, nor Mr.. Culberson. nor Gov. War
field has given his so-called boom mo-
ment's thought. All of them see the play.
Not one of them Is. or could be made. a
Wall street man. But for anti-Bryan pur-
poses. Morgan men are praising Mr.. Gull
berson. and Ryan men are praislng Mr.
Daniel. And so 1t goes.
If Mr.. Bryan can be defeated for the
nomina tion-the chances seem very slight
1t should be. and probably will be, by an
eastern man. And of course that means
another alliance with Wall street. But.
for that matter. and for all that Mr.. Bryan
says. the only man the democracy has
elected President since Buchanan's day
was nominated and his campaigns financed,
by Wall street.

The question is one of time. and. according
to American calculations of no long time

A story from Mobile however carries the
threat of another revolution. and this time
under American auspices. 1t is stated that
"a number of prominent men have just re-
turned from trip to the island" and one
OF them. unnamed is quoted follows:
"To voice the general feeling of think
ing people in Cuba. the question of Cuba S
annexation to the United States is simply a
question of the withdrawal of American
troops from the island. AS soon this is
done there Will be another revolution. That
the United States VIII he compelled to take
permanent possession of Cuba is as certain
as that there will he a revolution as soon
the troops are withdrawn.
And this revolution will more than likely

there Is one thing the liberal party of Cuba

or if revolution very short-lived one if
money is not found to support 1t.
Here, then. is very simple proposition.
II we may believe these prominent Ameri-
cans lately returned from a visit to Cuba
the contest taking shape in the island IS not
between the United States and Cuba but
between the United States and certain
American citizens who have decided that
this governments policy with regard TO
the island shall not be successful. They
are preparing to invoke force to defeat 1t.
Holding that property would not be safe in
Cuba without American protection. they
are ready to finance an organization for an
attack upon property as soon the Stars

Uncle Sam To return.
Great scheme. And by the way. who
