Seth Low.

Former Mayor Seth Low of New York
approves of what Chairman Parsons has
done In the way Of fusion. and so writes
him. The letter Is u brave act. Many
republicans oppose the fusion, and say so.
O:h.rs disapprove Of It, but keep silence.
Mr. Low need not have spoken except In
obedience 10 his duty to his opinion and
TO d fellow republican Under the harrow.
He is not actively In politics. and de-
Everance from him was not expected.
But after a careful examination of the
situation he found himself in agreement
with what Mr.. Parsons had done. and SO
gives 10 the arrangement the weight of
his name. In his successful race for
mayor he himself profted by fusion. At
that time Tammany was the enemy of
good government; and Mr.. Low thinks
that the organization never changes its
stripes and should always be fought for
the control of the town.

Canal Zone Sanitation.

When the United States government be-
gan the campaign for taking over the
work Of digging a canal through the
Isthmus of Panama. one OF the favorite
arguments advanced by those opposed to
the union of the oceans was that the
climatic conditions on the isthmus would
never permit the completion of the project.
Statistics were adduced to demonstrate
the excessive mortality among the French
engineers and the laborers of all nation
aiities engaged on the work. These fig-
ures undoubtedly caused many Americans
to question whether the task could ever
be accomplished. But those who knew the
situation and who took full account OF
the possibilities Of sanitary science per.
sisted In their assurance that no insuper.

Trees Ruthlessly Destroyed.
From the Washington Post.

Although the threatened destruction Of
| the historic trees in the Botanic Garden
| aroused protest SO vigorous as to reach
| the President, and 80 result in at least
| temporarily averting the purposed vandal-
| ism, there is another group of trees Of per-
! haps not equal historic, but of even great
| er scenic value, which has fallen unno-
| ticed before the ak of the yandal architect
The destruction of fine old trees, live oaks
| considerably more than half century
old. which has taken place at Washing
| ton Barracks. in violation of the wishes
of the officers in charge of the post and
| at the dictation of a firm of architects, is
an act, of vandalism which, although
| hitherto unnoticed, should excite as great
| Indignation as the purposed telling of the
Crttenden oak.
! For reasons not altogether clear. pos
sibly with the purpose of creating vista
of which the War College should occupy
| the center. more than half hundred fine
live oaks have been felled at the barracks.
and. had 1t not been for the protest Of the
engineer corps. many buildings in actual
use would a-so have been RACED. There
was not the slightest necessity for the de-
/, struction of most of the trees which have
I been felled. They contributed much to the
beauty and not a little to the comfort Of
the post. But the architects decreed from
| their New York office that these fine old
natural sentinels. whose grateful shade
had sheltered weary soldiers since long
before the civil war, must go; and go
| they did.
Practically all that was historic at
Washington Barracks has been destroyed,
and much that is useful. Much more
would have been obliterated but for the
protest of the Engineer Corps. Apparent
ly it is the purpose Of the architects to
convert this ancient post into q war COL
lege. and nothing else. without regard for
| the statute by which Congress made it an
engineer post for all time, unless it should
repeal its legislation.
While the President Is looking into the
merits of the Botanic Garden and Grant

also to investigate the work of the archi-
tects at Washington Barracks. We be-
lieve he would find much to condemn, and
we predict that If he will consult Gen.
Mackenzie or other staff officers of the
corps he will find that they have been,
and are still. making valiant fight in
which they deserve the assistance of his
strong right arm,

CONGRESS and the Currency.

| The suggestion of an extra session OF
Congress is of the panic panicky. Regu-
| lar meeting day is only four weeks away
! and it will be possible If the currency
problem is decided to be pressing for Con
| gress to get to work Immediately on it,
| The Senate, of course, stands already or
ganized, and Inc House could be set in
| motion in a week. Mr.. Cannon will be the
| Speaker without contest in his party. and
he has mad a list of House members for
a full year. If he cared to do SO, he could
name the committees two days after Or
| ganization day. This Is a sufficient an
swer to the extra session talk.
But when Congress does meet what
should be done? There is the rub 1t is
safe assertion that more remedies exist
for our present financial troubles than
remedies in a swamp country for chills
and fevers. Everybody busy with the sub
Jet has remedy. Every man of prom
inence in the banking or commercial
world whose name is known a hundred
miles from home has thought the matter
out for himself and is prepared with sug-
gestions as to what Congress should do.
And members of the House themselves
are full of matter. The situation is a
babel of ideas, all stated in one tongue.
New York, as usual, leads. And natu-
rally. Finance Is the great study there.
and many of the local bankers and cor
porauon magnates have a world vide
reputation Their views at this time are
valuable. And yet It is a fact that New
York on this subject is always distrusted
by the south and west where feeling
,rerails that what is sought of Congress
by New York is first of all for New York 8
benefit. One hears 1t asserted now that
this is gamblers furry, and that what
New York seeks is legislation to lift gam
blers out of pit that they themselves in
recklessness have dgged.
OF course, New York resents this. The
situation, as she insists. speaks for Itself.
Her argument is that what Injuries her in
such matters Injuries the whole country,
as her financial lines lead in all directions.
Touch them adversely, and the tingle Is
felt in the remotest sections of the United
States. and even farther.
Still the fact remains; and when Con-
cress takes up the subject, what is most
favored by New York Is certain to be the
most rigidly examined The cry for years
has been, Beware of New York bearing
currency suggestions and that nothing
has been done for years, when something
was desired, has been due to this distrust

Women and the Temperance Caus,

In the news from Birmingham Ala, the
other day the public got an idea of the
forces behind the temperance movement
which Is now sweeping over the south.
The issue was wet or dry in the county
in which Birmingham is situated, and
the drys won by a majority of 1000. al
though the city itself gave majority for
the vets. 1t was an important victory.
and growing out of it are many predic-
lions that the state of Alabama will soon
follow Georgia into the prohibition col
umn
The most striking feature of the cam
paign was the part played by women.
They turned out in force, headed by the
leaders in the religious work and in the
society of the city. brought the children
with them, and on election day drummed
for votes with all the fervor of their
natures. Without the ballot themselves,
they labored with those who held it and
besought that it be thrown in the interest
of public order and the family life. They
paraded the streets with dignity and I'M
ashamed under transparencies which
stated their case in the breeziest of col
loauialisms and the frankest of terms.
Bread or Booze?' Home or Help
Wife or Whisky There was no minc-
ing of words, or shrinking of conduct
All was spoken and done with the direct
ness which the cause seemed to justify.
This is the more remarkable for the
fact that in the south women hitherto
have taken no public part in the settle
ment of public questions. They have OPP
posed female suffrage, and left everything
to the men. The Pauline doctrine of
silence for women in churches. and for
that matter everywhere in public, has
obtained. Only of very recent years have
