Concerts in the Parks.

There will be no dearth of music in
Washington this summer. About one
hundred band concerts will be given by
the three government organizations III
he various public reservations in differ
emf parts OF the city. Thanks to the
wise policy adopted by the authorities,
the original limits of the public music
program have been widely extended. un-
III il IS now possible for Washingtonians
living In al. sections Of the District to
enjoy these open air programs. The ben
eft derived by the city-bound people
from this series of concerts is not easily
TO be estimated. They are not only given
grea: pleasure by the music itself, but
they are drawn by it into the parks away
from the hot pavenents and brought into
refreshing contact with nature.
These hundred concerts will make far
more endurable than otherwise the So
journ in town forced upon the workers
who are not blessed with the means and
the opportunity to get away.
In a far-reaching way the park music
has a beneficent influence II softens the
asperities aroused by the trying weather
1t mellows the disposition OF all hearers
Music IS emotional sentimental. perhaps
impractical in the judgment Of the
money-srubbing world. But 1t is never
theless c!vilizing factor. and with
out it life would be serious grind To
thousands II is inspirational. productive
OF the highest thinking. To others 1t is
merely soothing and pleasing concord
Rarely is a person to be found to whom

some measure appeal

The riches Of this character may be
embarrassing. Only artists are employed
to entertain guests at these places. If
visitor calls at Taft headquarters he will
be assured that all is over but the shout

there the same person moves to the places
where the other booms are housed he will
be warned against the Taft figures and
advised to prepare himself for something
very different. Thus. for days. an arrest

The hope. shared by many OF the repub-
lican leaders. is that however these con-
tests may be decided the result may not
shape the conventions action either as TO
the candidates or the platform. A plat
form should be written and candidates
placed upon 1t In consonance with party
sentiment In sections where a real party
exists, and where consequently votes are
to be sought. Any other action would be
foolish. and II might prove disastrous. To
permit delegates. even when regularly
chosen. representing only phantom con-
stituencies to control the convention with
q balance of power would completely dis
credit the body.

are too great to be ignored in a fair count.
There are 1.a4s ballot boxes McClei
lan's recorded majority was 3.474 A gain
of two votes per box would wipe this ma
jority out and give Hearst a margin of
422. Yesterday Hearst gained twenty
seven from two boxes. At this rate his
majority would be g. 23s. Probably these
were exceptional cases. and it is hardly to
be believed that the frauds. or. to use
more gentle word, the mistakes, were
committed on the same scale throughout
the city. 1t may be that the Hearst at
torneys have chosen for the first opening
the boxes from districts in which the
signs of fraud were most conspicuous.
Should the recount. which has been
scandalously delayed by the adoption of
obstructive tactics by the short -sighted
defendant mayor. disclose a majority for
Hearst very embarrassing situation will
have been developed. The final custer
of the sitting mayor will in that case
probably be resisted, but 1t is difficult

lost the greatest chance of his political
career when he denied Hearst's allega-
lions against the official canvass and OBJ
structed his efforts to obi ain a recount.
Had he consented to the reopening of
the -oAes under conditions guaranteeing
an absolutely fair count. he would per-
haps have greatly offended the practical
politicians of Tammany. but he would
have won the everlasting admiration Of
all fairminded citizens. If his election
was verified he would have gained greatly
in prestige and deprived his opponent of
his heaviest ammunition. If the recount
had been unfavorab BILE he would. in re-
linauishing the Office. have placed himself
in line for political promotion and with

Floats out on the night; through the

Comes the lonely note Of the whippoor-

Singing. with scant but honest skill,
A fare-thee-weil to the day that's gene.
And a hope for the day that's yet to

The sky is pierced by a million stars:
In the fields the shadows smooth out the
scars
That the plowman made; and the insect
crowd
Raises chorus shrill and loud.
A fare-thee-well to the day that's gone.
And a hope for the day that's yet to
dawn.
All, this is tho hour OF tho day that g

The hour that Is neither toll nor rest.

The Naval Tests.

Critics of american naval armor will
have little Is say in the face of the
Florida experiment tried yesterday In
Hampton roads. A twelve-inch shot was
sent smashing against the turret of the
monitor, but without destroying it. or in
Aicting sufficient damage to have dis
abled the turret or injured the crew II
the blow had been delivered in battle.
This test proves that a highly explosive
shell will not singly render the main bat
terry of a warship useless. Probably the
shot in yesterdays experiment was de-
livered with a maximum of force. being
placed with accuracy and striking the
turret in the most favorable point for
disablement of it's mechanism. OF course
If the shot had struck one of the dummy
guns of the turret it would have put it
out of commission. No gun can be made
capable Of withstanding the direct blow of
a large shot. The projecting muzzle.
however. is a small mark in naval gun
merry and the chances of striking 1t are
slender.
The other phase of the test was de-
signed to prove the efficiency of the newly
designed fire control skeleton mast.
Five shots were fired in all. A four-inch
projectile cut one of the rods. A second
of the same caliber cut several others.
but no effect was produced on the sta
bility of the structure. Then twelve-inch
shots were sent through It, and at the
close Of the test an examination proved
that the mast was as stanch as ever
1t Is possible that as a result of this
experiment the naval vessel Of the future
will present a materially different APP
pearance from the present type of float
Ing, fort. The newly designed mast. look
ing like skeleton shot tower. dominates
the ships upper works in a manner un-
like anything ever known In the range of
naval architecture. The oldstyle mast,
with network of halyards. has been al
ready superseded by the thicker steel
post. which is merely used for observation
and secondary battery work. Now all
pretense of holding to the naval tradi-
lions may be abandoned and the new
mast adopted solely with view to its
capacity for being punctured without
damage.
Yesterdays tests were demonstrative
of the defensive superiority of an armored
ship. 1t is now incumbent upon the gun
and projectile makers to find means to
smash armored turrets and to destroy
skeleton masts. This has been the his
tory of naval progress. and 1t is to be
expected that another cycle Of resistance
and successful attack will be completed.

Secretary Taft and the Canal.

secretary Id1C ana tuo Cd00A.
From the Troy Times.
Secretary Taft. while ready to testify
to the energy and thoroughness with
which the canal force is pushing thing.
declined to make any estimate as to the
time yet to elapse before the great enter
prise shall be completed Were 1t merely
a matter OF digging the ditch, a date
might be fixed approximately. But many
other things are to be taken into account,
among them being the construction Of the
locks and the great Gatun dam. which Is
to form an immense lake or reservoir to
be part of the canal system. These are
engineering undertakings. and 1t would be
rash TO set a time limit upon them. All
that can be positively assured Is that
they will be pushed as rapidly as safety
and the character OF the undertaking will
permit In this the Secretary is likely
to have the country with him also. An
unprejudiced and impartial witness on
this point Is The Washington Star, which.
like other reputable newspapers OF I'M
biased judgment. is of the opinion that
1t is better to go safely than too swiftly.
The American government Is making
been the case before. and is meeting the
engineering problems with calm conf
dence. The canal Is going to be built.
That IL a certainty. But the American
people, much as they desire expedition in
the matter do not want celebrity at the ex-
pense Of safety. Secretary Taft's report
shows that the canal work Is being prose-
cuted in this praiseworthy spirit.

The War Department.

Should the President find it necessary to
name a new Secretary of War soon some
excellent material will be available. The
Office within the past decade has been
one of much Importance. and two men
of the first class have in that time made
regulations In 1t. Mr.. Root, trained for
the bar brought to the post what proved
to be exceptional talents for its work.
while Judge Taft. another lawyer. has
mastered its duties completely. The de-
partment was probably never in better
shape than now, SO far as executive power
is concerned.
So fit are things, indeed. that between
July and next March there will be little
more thar routine In the office. Matters
on the Canal Zone are progressing. The
Cuban elections approach. but should not
prove disturbing beyond the ability of
so capable man as Gov. Magoon to
manage. Quiet prevails in the Philippines.
and the American organization in the
archipelago is altogether assuring. So
that If Judge Taft is to be called to the
leadership of his party in the presidential
campaign his retirement from his present
ofiico should cause the President no en-
barrassment. Good men are numerous.
In connection with the mention of Gen.
Luke Wright for the place is heard that
old shopworn suggestion about winning
southern electoral votes for the republican
national ticket by the calling Of a south
ern man OF former democratic alignments
to the cabinet of a republican President.
1t Is easy to remember what was pre-
dicted when Mr.. Hayes thirty years ago
made David NJ. Key of Tennessee Post
master General. That appointment was
TO break the solid south by bringing at
least the state OF Tennessee permanently
into the republican camp. AS we all
know 1t had no such effect. AS political
move 1t was fiat failure. and Mr. Key
was soon transferred to the federal bench.
He was a worthy and competent man.
but there was no response In Tennessee
or elsewhere in the south to his elevation
70 the cabinet.
Nor will there be If Gen. Wright sue
ceeds Judge Taft as Secretary of War. A
competent man. who did good work in
the Philippines. Gen. Wright has claims to
respectful attention but he possesses no
political influence whatever. He has
never been a political leader at home. and
was criticised for accepting office abroad
At the hands of republican President
Would he escape criticism from the same
quarter as Secretary Of War in NJ.

Slandering the Buttercup.

fowerpickers against the buttercup on
account Of risk of disease from Its per
fume have appeared in the newspapers OF
different parts OF the country. An in
quiry among Boston physicians gives
reason to believe little ground exists for
this alarm. 1t would not be marvellous,
however. II few persons had been az
fected by such a thing. so often is one
mans meat the next mans poison.
Cheese and strawberries. for example. and
even potatoes affect unfavorably an oc-

of forty-five degrees was sufficient to
make the subject faint.
