Washington's Water Front.

Commissioner Mcfarland expresses the
hope that Congress at the next session
will act favorably upon the recommended
tons of the Commissioners for the i'm
provemeht of the local water front He
notes the fact that Congress in its recent
fiscal enactments for the District has
limited its enterprises to a total for
which the District could be expected
to pay on cash basis. Had the plan of
providing for these large expenditures on
long term basis so as to spread the re-
funding out over a considerable period OF
years been adopted there would have been
NJ such difficulty and Washington might
have progressed uniformly and speedily
in its development toward the ideal of q
federal capital.
1t is quite characteristic OF the treatment
of Washington by Congress during these
last few years of practical capital making
that so important a matter as the river
front should have been postponed and
treated as negligible. In other respects as
well the city's welfare has been regarded
from a topsy-turvy point Of view. For in
stance. in the vital matter. of fire protec-
ton the fact has been repeatedly called to
the attention of Congress that by the ex-
penditure of only three-quarters of q mil
lion dollars the business section could be
put into a state of virtual immunity from
large confiagration by the installation OF
q high pressure service. Yet because Of

The Star for twenty years in a respon-
siblc position capably, zealously and
loyalty His devotion to his work was
exceptional. He did his best at all times

which covered many years. he identified
himself with movements which made for
the development of the capital, and he
acted the part Of the progressive citizen
IN all ways open to him. His generous
disposition and his readiness to take part
in any activity which contributed to the
welfare Of Washington brought him in
touch with a wide range of interests and
now that he has answered the final sum-

The New PartY's Nomination.

The ticket of the Independence party
will set no body of running water af1re
Mr. Hisgen is an oil dealer of Massachu-
sets. locally popular because OF sue
cessful local tilt against the Rockefeller
monopoly. His experience In politics Is
limited and devoid OF success. His race
for governor of Massachusetts, in which
he ran ahead of the democratic candl-
date affords no basis for this years cal
culations. The Bay state democracy,
never strong. was in collapse that year,
and a snail might have distanced 1t over
the course. Outside of Massachusetts
Mr. Hisgen is little known. and can not
be introduced in time for any effect ON
the general situation in November.
Mr.. Graves is a tuneful entertainer with
tongue and pen. but has no influence In
the political world. He lost his individ-
uality even as an entertainer, when ne
left Georgia for New York. where for
some months he has been employed on
Mr.. Hearst's newspaper. His nomination
will not add half a dozen votes to the
ticket Tom Watson is seeking joint
debate with Mr.. Bryan. One should be
arranged between him and Mr.. Graves
If Georgian met Georgian, then would
come the tug of words.
The new party's platform is bid for all
who feel themselves weary and heavy
laden. Labor is fitted with an injunc-
ton plank which Mr.. Gompers himself
might have constructed. Populists are
approached on the subject of the initiative
and referendum and a government cur
rency. while the proposition to put up
the bars against all Asiatics is intended
70 tickle the whole Pacific coast. The
indictment of plutocract is much stronger
than that drawn at Denver. in that 1t
alleges that both of the old parties are
in plutocratic tolls.
By its failure to nominate Mr.. Hearst
the new party missed its chance In a
truly national sense. We shall probably
see it's efforts addressed largely, If not
exclusively. to New York. Indiana ana
California where Mr.. Hearst has or
ganizations; and whatever 1t may be
able to do in those states will be at the
expense of Mr.. Bryan. A few thousand
votes drawn from the democrats In lndi-
ana would put democratic success there
wholly out of the question. But. all things
considered Mr.. Bryan should be drawing
a freer breath today than yesterday.
Hearst would have troubled him. Hisgen
threatens little.

The Venezuelan Problem.
rom the PHILADELPHIA Ledger.

if the government of the Netherlands
should find 1t necessary to make naval
demonstration against Venezuela, no men,
ace to the Monroe doctrine or to any in
terests of the United States would be
thereby involved. This government has
troubles enough of its. own with Castro,
and since it is generally agreed that
Castro is in need of q "thrashinG," It
might as well be administered by Queen
Wihelmina as by anybody else. This in
ternational duty is not one that any Of
the powers concerned is anxious to under
take. The United States would not re-
gard with Indifference the effort of any
European power to acquire territory on
the American continent. to subjugate or
Cypress the people of any of the South
American states. or to impose upon them
a monarchical form of government. This
is the substance of the Monroe doctrine.
It brought us quickly to the protection of
Venezuela when Great Britain appeared
to be encroaching upon Venezuelan terri
tory. 1t does not require us to protect
Venezuela in every conceivable dispute
with a foreign nation. least OF all when
we have ourselves a dispute OF the same
class on hand which has thus far defied
peaceful adjustment.

Suffrage and Political Advice.

Taking for text The Stars advice to
Chairman Hitchcock not to underrate his
enemy. the Charleston News and Courier
In fit of impoliteness. says:
But what we would like to know is
why The Washington Star should take
any part in this contest or any other con-
test for the presidency. II is published
in the District Of Columbia: 1t cannot
vote, and it has no right to advise, and
particularly when its advice on political
questions is so often intensely partisan
and unjustif1ed by its position and situa-
ton
There is limited suffrage in South
Carolina, and the News and Courier has
a vote, but why on that account should
it take any part in the present presi-
Dental contest? Is 1t not barred, indeed.
by the laughable plight in which it finds
itself?
against Mr.. Bryan's candidacy for a third
nomination. He was described as "a
cheap and selfish man, who had twice
led his party to defeat and II again
nominated would again lead it to defeat
But. notwithstanding. the democracy Of
South Carolina instructed for Mr. Bryan,
and at Denver the Neoraskan swept all
before him. The south in particular rail-
lied to him with enthusiasm.
The News and Courier Is now eating
its leek. But with a poorly simulated
gusto. Do the republicans want a de-
predatory appralsement Of Mr.. Bryan?
Let them turn to the pre-convention files
of the News and Courier. Do they want
democratic authority for the statement
that Mr. Bryan cannot be elected? Let
them consult the News and Courier. Do
they want democratic authority for the
statement that he ought not to be elected 2
They can find it in the News and Courier.
1t has loaded as many shells for Chair
man Hitchcock as any republican news
paper in the land He may not care to
use them. but, for whatever they may be
worth. they are at hand ready for use.
Maybe if the News and Courier adopted
less bumptious tone. and treated those
differing with 1t with fair measure Of
courtesy. it would count for something
in the political equation at home. Ger
tainly 1t would be more highly respected
by those who live at distance.

the absurd policy of forcing the District
to pay as 1t goes for all its large pernha-
nent works Congress has been unwilling
to authorize this expenditure.
Some short sighted economists have
averred that there was no occasion for
improving the local water front fnasmuch
as there was little or no shipping at this
port. Regardless of the higher considera-
tions of capital making which should de-
mand the improvement of the river front
as scrupulously as the development of the
park system, it is only just to note that
possibly II the water front facilities had
been properly provided the shipping
would have been increased. Certainly
there has been no incentive to river users
in the condition of the wharf line.
The total available water frontage Of
the District is eighteen miles, remarka-
BILE stretch which might easily be made
into a feature of rare attractiveness, not
to say Of immense practical value. This
neglect for long period was excused on
the ground of the doubtful title, but this
doubt was removed long ago, and it was
then the duty of Congress promptly to
take up this matter for consideration with
view Of making Washington's water
front a model for all American cities. A
visit to the wharves today is discouraging
to the loyal Washingtonian. He sees
there q huddle of rickety sheds and rot
ten wharves with few intersections of
cheap. wooden constructions of a tempo
rary character. Had Congress viewed
this matter broadly 1t would have appro-
pr1ated liberal sum for the development
of the river frontage and allowed the Dis
trict. as far as it was accountable finan-
cially, to carry its burden over a long
period Of years. and meanwhile giving the
capital city a respectable, prosperous ap-
pearance.

The Value of a Platform.

Replying to Tom Watson's latest ar
raignment of the democracy. Mr.. Waiter
son. in a long editorial. says:
tom talks of platforms. Springs to
catch woodcock.' as our estimable old
friend. Polonius. observes. When has
any party lived up to its platform? Did
Cleveland live up to that Of 1892? Re-
up to that of 1852? Remember the repeal
of the Missouri compromise. Platforms
are like advertisements intended to ex-
plot merchandise. They are like patent
medicines warrapted to cure all diStem-
pers.' One might as welt
"'Hope constancy in wind. or corn in chat,
Believe a woman, or an epitaph'
as rely Upon the best or fear the worst,
platform that was ever constructed.
I'm this campaign the two platforms
monize conflicting elements and catch
votes. Neither is worth the paper it is
written on"
This Is perilously near treason. Mr..
Bryan declares the Denver platform
an almost perfect deliverance. and be-
lieves that on the strength of 1t he will be
elected President. He is now preparing
an Interpretation Of it intended to thrill
the country. and to convince voters that it
contains the only hope of the: country's
salvation. He will pledge himself to adj
here. If elected. to every promise it con-
tains. Trust me. trust my platform. And
yet Mr.. Watterson says it is not worth
the paper IT is written on.
Mr.. Watterson's history is all right
There have been some notable repudia-
tons of platforms. Mr.. watterson cites
two. There are others, and the list. with
Its suggestions. Is disquieting. Elections
have often h,y fol-
Power has been obtained by combinations
and by promises which carried within
themselves the seeds OF destruction We
are only fifteen years distant from
campaign which Mr.. Bryan who partici-
acterized as bunko game
But have we learned nothing since? Did
not the campaign of 1892 teach the whole
country lesson? After denouncing a
bunko game. and describing the leader of
it as bunko steerer. is 1t fair to assume
that Mr.. Bryan himself is now engaged in
something Of the same sort? He is ap-
pealing to the farmers. to wage-earners.
and to business men for votes, and to all
he points to the platform upon which he
stands as the authority for his appeal
He claims to speak by the card. But If
'i'o SoAN nos aio soAuo' IL IL IL dS worthless
as Mr.. Watterson says. then what?
After the lesson we have all had. 1t is
most essential that both parties this year
give evidence of respect for platform
promises. Both platforms are excellent
pieces of writing. and speak clearly on all
the questions they embrace. Judge Taft
stands squarely upon the one. and Mr.
Bryan as squarely upon the other, and
one or the other man is going to be the
next President Of the United States.

Bryan Needs Landslide.

1t is stated that while the democratic
campaign chairman will be an fastener
the real fight of that party for the presi-
dency will be confined largely to Ohio, In
diana and Illinois. They are as likely
states for the democrats as any in the
central west. yet some idea can be had
of the odds to be overcome when 1t is
stated that If all three went for Bryan
and Kern. and the rest of the country
voted as in 1904, the democrats would be
beaten In the electoral college by 271 to
800 But with New York added the demo-
Gratis would win. pa to 232. 1t will take
a veritable landslide to land Bryan in
the White House.

Fairgrounds.
From the Richmond Times ptspa tch.

The west and east alike have found
out that the playground is even more
valuable for making good citizens than
for making healthy bodies, and it il be-
cause Fairgrounds make good citizens
that they are receiving such loyal sup
port. In Richmond there are at present
four Fairgrounds In active operation, at
Springfield. Central. Leigh and Randolph
schools. Helpful az these spaces are, it
is yet to be heard that the city of Rich
mond has taken charge of the movement
and provided the grounds with proper
equipment. The experience Of other cities,
as well as the advantages of the play
grounds themselves, should continually
spur Richmond to lettering conditions In
this important field.
