neglects the simplest safeguards Of
health, and who suffers when there
is no need of suffering-it is this
man, and his name is legion, who is
to be pitied.
Weston was broth of a boy forty
years ago; so, doubtless, was many
another who saw him make his first
trip; but how many of those could
keep up with him for a single day
now? Indeed, how many men proud
of their rudy cheeks and supple
muscles could keep up with. him
shoulder to shoulder on a seventy
seven-mile jaunt such as he took
the other day? Not many, we ven
ture to say.
1t is an old story that we take
too much for granted We assume
that a robust constitution is good
for century without repairs, but
suddenly there's a snap, and the
beautiful machine is a wreck. Eter-
nal vigilance is the price of the rare
strength that Weston shows.

The Campaign of the Hats.

Mere Mes are naturally interested
IN ladies' hats. The subject is large.
Viewed from any angle it interests
the architect, the engineer, the do
nestle economist. 0s icte it has
been taking on the piquant interest
OF an afterthought that Outweighs
the original proposition, of struc-
ture that-unlike some of our more
lasting piles of brick and mortar
grows more and more interesting
the further one gets from the front.
This year there is a battle-Toyal
amongst them. The hats are divid-
ing into camps. They have their
banners and their corps names, and
though today the sBirmishers inter
mingle freely, some day soon the so
cial bugle viii blow and there will
be casting into outer darkness with
weeping and wailing and crashing
Of teeth.
First comes the Corps Militaire.
Its insignia is a fiuttering POM
pom. This body is strong in ammu-
milton, strategic resource, and or
ganization, weakened, however, by
Overcaution in examining applicants
for enlistment. Next there is the
Corps Bourgeois, with helmets round
and ample, sometimes straight as
the moral law, sometimes daintily
dropping like inverted dishpans.
This is the infantry, with the nu-
mericaI strength that comes from
easy recruiting. Finally there is
the Corps Flute Ruffe-these are
the outriders, the guerriIlas, and
the sign Of their company is an old
fashioned freman's helmet without
the helm.
Armies are most picturesque be
fore their buckles lose their luster
in the dust of long campaigns. The
time to inspect these troops is now,
not when the battle is over and the
pompoms or the dishpans OF the
flutes las the case may be- wave
triumphant but tattered. Walk the
streets and behold Then, when
you have seen them once, indulge the
weakness Of your heart and turn
your attention, as Of old, to the
stern but fair countenances under
meath.

WEDNESDAY. NOVEMBER 10. 1907
The Vacant JudgeShip.

a vacancy has arisen IN the Dis
trict Court of Appeals. In the till-
ing of it two things are required;
That because at present only one
judge is sitting the appointment
shall be made without delay;
That the appointment shall be
made from among lawyers of appro-
pirate attachments who have at this
writing intimate knowledge of Dis
trict law.
When the last appointment was
made to this bench, the local bar
sacrificed its influence by dividing
its support. 1t will do well now to
profit by that experience, to meet
quickly, and to determine, without
regard for geographical associa-
tions, what one of it's members,
whether practicing or already on
the District bench, promises the
most valuable service if appointed.
If it pursues that course the Bar
Association viii find its influence
vastly greater than last time. But
if its members separate into parties
or choose according to any standard
save fitness, they must not be sur
prised when their opinion fails to
carry conviction.
The Washington times., 1907-11-13
The Third-Term Movement.

a vast amount Of nonsense is
spoken and written these times on
the proposal of another term for
President Roosevelt. The Republi-
cans who don't want the foremost
Republican nominated again urge
with tears in their eyes and quavers
in their voices that were the Presi-
dent to accept another nomination
he would thereby commit a breach
of faith with the nation, pointing
with wise wags Of the head to his
statement on the night Of election
day, 1904.
1t need not be pointed out that
the tears of these people are Of the
crocodile sort, as the quaVers in
their voices are strictly muscular
rather than emotional in origin.
The President made that statement
after the election returns were on
his desk. He knew lie was elected
by a vastly greater vote than any
other President ever received. He
knew that not one vote of the nil
lions was brought to him by reason
Of any suspicion that he was a one
term candidate only. He had never
intimated, and nobody had init
mated for him, during the cam
paign that he would make such a
statement. The vast majority of
the country was prepared to accept
the overwhelming vote of three
years ago this month as APPROX
mate assurance that there would be
eight years more of Roosevelt.
If the President had declared dur
ing his campaign that he would not
again be a candidate; if he could be
suspected of influencing a single
vote in that fashion-then he would
be in good faith estopped from now
becoming a candidate. But there is
no possible reason why tie Presi-

GOODWIN DELIGHTFUL
IN AMERICAN CITIZEN

An impersonatiOn characterized by
greater variety and more delicate hunor
than his Jim Radnor IN In MIzzoura. ."
was Nat Goodwin's BeresfOrd Cruger In
An American Citizen" at the Columbia
Theater last night.
Mr.. GOodwiu's Interpretation OF the IN
tensely patriotic American who is forced
to renounce MS country In order to Sc
cure a fortune which he needs in order
70 make restitution for funds which a
member Of his law firm has stolen from
two women, IS full OF delightful satire
and genuine humor.
Many Of the lines seem so much a part
OF Mr.. GOodwin's conception OF the
character that one IS led 70 believe That
he had as much TO do with the conStruc-
ton Of the play as Madeline Lusette
Ryley. the accredited playwright.
Mr.. GOOdwiz's supporting company
was seen TO better advantage last night
than or the previous evening Miss
Rene Kelley was an attractive and con-
vincing Georgia Chaplin. an American
girl, and Miss Oza Waldrop was again
seen TO advantage as Mercury, an office
boy. Her opportunities were not as
great, however, as IN the role OF LIZ
beth Vernon In the Thomas play.
Miss Goodrich was seen as Beatrice
Carew, CrUger's cousin and wife. She
sustained the role cleVerly throughout
the early part OF the performance, but
her Interpretation Of the last act lacked
feeling. Miss Goodrich wore some stTik-
ingly handsome gowns.

dent may not, under pressure OF
public demand, change his mind
There is no reason whatever why
the country should be deprived OF
his services for another four years
If it wants them, as it does.
More and more plainly it appears
every day that the country is impa-
tient of every suggestion aside from
the President. 1t wants him be-
cause it is confident that his work
is not nearly done, and that no
body else can do it so well as he.
The President cannot honorably re-
fuse the call to further service OF
the country that has so greatly hon
ored him.
AS between the charge Of broken
faith which favorite-son boomers
are ready to bring if he permits
himself again to be nominated, and
the charge of deserving the stand
ard in the midst of the battle, which
the millions may bring If he de-
clines longer to lead, the President
ca IKE no mistake. He does not
need to be q candidate for the no.ni-
nation. It may safely be assumed
that he viii not be. The people who
are demanding his services viii do
all that is necessary.

Not Many WeStonS.

OF the two purposes the pedes-
trian Weston has in mind-to equal
the record he made forty years ago
when he first walked from Portland
TO Chicago and to demonstrate the
advantages Of a temperate life-the
second win appeal to many who care
little or nothing about the first.
The spectacle of a man nearly
seventy years old Flooding day after
day in all sorts of weather over all
sorts Of roads without showing any
more signs Of fatigue than the ordi-
nary man would show after a smart
walk up and down the Avenue, is
nothing less than a lesson in the
fine art of arriving at old age in
good trim. At the bottom of it all
lies the fact that walking is still the
best all-around exercise. 1t is
equally good for the heart, the mind,
the appetite; and when these>parts
of a mans makeup are in proper
shape the remaining parts viii take
care Of themselves.
The man who boasts Of his health
fulness is prone to waste sympathy
on feeble brethren; and yet in most
cases they are as well off, if not bet
ter, than he is, for the reason that
they have learned the lesson Of TAX
ing proper care of themselves. 1t is

A Sound Decision.

In fulfIlment Of the plans Of the
Park Commission and of an act OF
Congress, the advisory committee
of the Grant Memorial Commission
has decided to locate that monu-
ment on the Botanic Garden site.
This in spite Of the following
A hue and cry in behalf Of three
or four trees of mighty doubtful
historical interest.
The assumption that those trees
could not be transplanted.
a determination to sacrifice the
plans of the Park Commission
rather than see the Botanic Garden
thrown open to the public
a campaign of persistent misrep-
resentation as to the plans Of the
Park Commission-such as advano-
ing the estimated cost of executing
those plans from 5000, 1000, 900 to
500, OOO, 900, to 81 900, 10000. in easy
steps, and proclaiming that the
plans would make the Mall an
asphalt driveway, thus lessening its
value as a park, and creating the
impression that they would stay the
improvement of the south side Of
Pennsylvania avenue until after ex-
tensive work in the Mall, when the
improvement Of that thorOughfare
was one of the chief essentials Of
the Park Commission plans.
The fomenting of opposition to
those plans in every open quarter
which will, in unfortunate prObabiR
ity, add enormously to the difficulty
of developing them.
Among engineers, architects, and
landscape gardeners the decision Of
the advisory committee occasions
no surprise. But TO citizens who
have only that appreciation of these
plans which comes from approach
ing them without technical nowl-
edge but with unbiased minds this
determination has the character of
a distinct relief.
The Grant Memorial is to be one
of the foci of an ordered and vastly
improved Mall 1t takes its place,
according to the plans Of the col
mission, between the Capitol and
the Washington Monument, in a Po-
sition hardly less conspicuous than
either. 1t is the center of a new
and noble plaza to take the place of
the present tumble about the Peace
Monument. To sacrifice all this for
the sake of keeping three or four
trees where they are and cOntinu-
ing the limited blessings of the
Botanic Garden would have been,
especially to do so in view of the
intemperance and bitter PERSONAL
ties with which the plans of the
Park commission have been fought,
would have been not only more than
costly step backward-it would
have been almost wanton.
