late that modern life in large cities, such
as New York. is a totally different state
Of existence from that of olden times,
when the home was the social center
Nowadays. it Is averred, the hotel Is the
focus of social life, and the home Is rele-
gated to an obscure position in the COM

abundant evidence of this phenomenon
They are crowded with patrons. not mere

tate naturally to the gay scenes Of the

Two More Elder Citizens Gone.

Within a week after holding their me-
mortal services for the twenty-four who
passed away during the year, the men,
bers of the Oldest Inhabitants Associa-
ton are called upon to attend the obse-
a vice president and one of the charter
members. and the other their president.
Charles B. Church and John E. Libbey
were among the most useful of the elder
citizens during the years of their activ-
1ty. They were of the city-building type,
sturdy in their belief in the possibilities
OF Washington, tireless In their contri-
buttons to its many forms of industrial
activity. and faithful In cherishing the
local sentiments and traditions that dis
tinguish the District from other COM
munities. These men were for years en-
gagged in similar lines Of business and
their success was marked. It was the
success Of honest endeavor, persistent
faith and broad view. Mr. Libbey was
a native of Washington and never lived
elsewhere. Mr.. Church was a native of
Maryland and came to Washington at
the age Of fourteen. Their interest in the
Oldest Inhabitants Association was char
acteristic of their attachment to the city,
and might well serve as an inspiration
to other citizens who have acquired the
right to join thus in perpetuating the
beet memories of the past and helping in
the uplift of today. even as their honora-

ulatc in every breast the desire to bear

impress everybody with his sincerity.
His stoutest opponent could fnd nothing

Such course. however. does not make
for supreme leadership in a body like
the House Of Representatives. 1t cuts no
path to the speakership. or to floor au-
thority. But 1t gives the right sort Of
man a place all his own, and a personal
satisfaction which high preferment does
not always afford. His reward is in obey

things seeing them stamped upon the
results.

Summer Weather, Parks and Health
Yesterday brought to Washington the
first real touch of summer. The great
congestion from an early hour Of the street
cars and the parks demonstrated how
universally the visitation was felt. Tens
of thousands Of people Jared forth to the
suburban and rural regions to get their
first communion with nature. The zoolog-
ical garden was thronged all day. All the
city reservations were peopled. Washing
ton, in it's character as park city. was
in its best form.
Those who have ever doubted the wis
dom and economy Of providing large open
spaces within a city for the recreation
and refreshment Of the people are likely
to be persuaded Of their mistake when
ever the heat drives men, women and
children out Of doors into the wooded
and turfed areas. In summer the parks
unQuestionably save lives. At all times,
in all seasons, they keep the air pure
and give DEMONSTRATING quality to 1t.
This. fundamental fact should be kept
clearly in view in the planning and de-
velopment of a city. In the case Of Wash
ington there has been chiefly in the past
necessity of strict vigilance on the part
of the far-seeing citizens to prevent the
closing Of the open spaces, through their
utilization as building sites. If the econ
omists in Congress had had their way at
all times there would today be few parks.
Fortunately, the grand plan Of the cap
ital has appealed sufficiently to the pride
Of the American people at large to pre-
vent the adoption Of such a foolish policy
of money-saving.
One Of the chief objections to the treat
ment of the Mall proposed by the Senate Q
park commission of a few years ago 10
that it contemplates the use Of spaces
within the present boundaries of that
park for public building sites. Incidental
ly, it is proposed to Offset this diminution
of park area by the addition of the lands
within the two triangles formed by the
Mall and Pennsylvania and Maryland
avenues. 1t is firmly believed by most
Washingtonians that far better plan
is to take the northern triangle, If not
the southern as well. and to utilize 1t as
the most convenient possible site for fu-
ture public buildings. while leaving the
Mall space intact. Such a plan would
be infinitely better, as far as the preserva-
ton Of the city's health and attractive
ness is concerned, than the immediate
use Of the Mall area for building pur-
poses, with the acquisition Of the north
ern triangle left to some future period Of
congressional generosity.
The passage of the Hepburn bill by the
House, now that it has been approved
by the Senate. will prevent any further
spoliation of the grand park In the heart
of the city that has contributed 50 richly
to the health and the beauty of the cap
ital 1t will provide the ground necessary
for the public buildings for all time and
solve the problem of preserving to Penn
sylvania avenue its prestige as the great
national thoroughfare.

Help the Philippines.

Commenting on the recently approved
bill for the indefinite suspension Of the
coastwise law in its application to the
Philippine trade. Representative Jones OF
Virginia said: If we compel all the COM
United States to be carried In American
bottoms we shall effectually destroy the
little commerce we now have with those
islands This is In general the argument
that led to the approval OF the bill. It is
a pity that a similar selfish interest does
not entice the country into the justice and
the wisdom of establishing free trade be-
tween the United States and the Philip
pine Islands. Our present straddle; be-
tween our duty and the unfounded alarm
Of few special interests Is not to our
