A Smolderinr Genius.

Grafton from the prison for the GRIM
inally insane In New York state, have
prepared for him at the Pittsburg home
a we'll furnished library and arranged
for his assumption of literary work upon
his restoration to liberty. 1t appears that
Thaw has during the months of his incar-
ceration dabbled with pen and ink and
produced an essay on political economy
which, upon submission to the editor OF
a leading publication" ELECTED high
praise and the promise OF printing as soon
as the author has left the prison doors
This encourages the young man himself
and his admiring relatives regard him al
q literary genius.
Well why should not Harry Thaw make
good as a writer of books? He has ha6
what few writer's possess-an intense per.
sonal experience. He has taken life, has

fed in his own person the eccentricities
Of the American system of criminal juris-
prudence and has run the gamut of the

spark of the divine fire within his breast

should have breathed it into fame

should take first rank as a work or pop

Well managed. the Thaw literary bureau
should make fortune not only for the
precocious author himself. but for his
publisher. Jnduestionably the privilege
of printing his works would bring large
bonus if auctioned. 1t is possible that the
gains from such an enterprise would re-
pay his devoted family all its expenditures
for the saving of this valuable life and
the restoration of so useful member OF
society to the ordinary walks of life. Just
one little preliminary remains to be ar
ranged Judge Mills promises to announce
next Thursday whether Thaw's literary
work is to be done in that luxurious
Pittsburg library or at Matteawan. His
decision will be awaited with the keenest
interest by an expectant world of readers.

The Future and Harmony.

President Taft is called the harmoniZer
and has something to show for the title
The solid south has not dissolved under
his influence nor did he succeed in
healing all republican differences on the
tariff But there is friendly personal feel
ing in the south toward him, while the re-
publcans who have refused his tariff
leadership express a high opinion OF his
sincerity Senator Bristow declares with
some fervor that he loves him.
This is valuable party asset. The man
in the White House is always a powerful
individual, and where he is also man
of charm his opportunities for party
service are very great. Where the wielder
of the veto and the dispenser of patronage
invites confidence, and listens with pa
thence and good feeling to those who call.
harmony should be the rule.
1t is held by some that had the Presi-
dent entered the tariff contest earlier he
might have achieved more: might have
effected a compromise strong enough to
poll the full republican vote in both
houses This is to be doubted. The sit
uation was unusual, and above even his
powers thoroughly to control. East and
west were far apart on the question of
revision-so far apart, indeed, that secur-
ing a bill. even with a special tax APP
pealing to the west, seemed for season
a little doubtful The President as a
harmonizer entered the game at the
proper time. and did valuable service.
The republicans are to be congratu-
lated on the fact that the White House
is still open to all the party leaders.
All are as welcome as though no tarlH
difficulties had existed. House regu-
lars and House insurgents, Senate reg
ulars and Senate insurgents, will con-
tinue their visits to the President, and
by him be we'll received. He denounced
nobody while the battle was on, and was
denounced by nobody. He conferred with
everybody seeking conference. and ex-
pressed himself frankly. BY nobody was
he misauoted or misunderstood. On no.
body did he seek to fix bad faith.
The President, then, is still his party's
leader. esteemed by both factions and
consulted by both. Two factions I'M
doubtedly exist and they must be
brought together if next winters legis-
lation is to amount to anything and
next wears elections are to be won. Can
the President bring them together" IL
not nobody can hope to. And we may
all be certain that he will try, with all
his power.

Lincoln Pennies.

Lincoln pennies are In demand just now.
not because there is any question of
their permanence, but because they are
new We are rather an impatient peo-
pie. and when novelty comes In sight
We all want an immediate look at 1T.
This was the case with the aeroplane.
The immense crowds at Fort Myer dur
ing and preceding the final Wright tests
were the result OF the tendency of the
public to want to be first on the ground
when the achievement was complete.
The new coins themselves are so diff
ferent from all that have preceded them
from the American minis that they are
in themselves an object of curiosity.
Heretofore the United States has been
impartially impersonal in the adornment
of its tokens of currency. 1t has chosen
the head of an categorical figure repre-
senting by a stretch of the imagination
and through the license allowed to art
an American Indian. No ethnologist has
ever detected the faintest resemblance of
this sculptured head to the aboriginal
dweller on this continent, but the lack
of likeness has not lessened the regard
of the people for any of the bits OF
metal bearing the guarantee of value.
Now Abraham Lincoln has been given
place on the least of the coins, an
honor which is eminently deserved and
appropriate to the observance of his cen
eenary. The question arises whether
other American patriots who have passed
away will not be nominated for similar
distinction. George Washington. whose
head has been on the postage stamps for
many years, may be thus mentioned
And there Alexander Hamilton
whose financial genius greatly aided the
government in its early years of strug-
gle. and whose name is inseparably as
ISOLATED with the Treasury.
II the Lincoln cent Is a precedent the
American coinage may acquire a his
torical value which heretofore has been
lacking. Stamps are stuck on letters and
Cancelled and then destroyed Only a
few are preserved. and those are mu.
tilated with the blackening of the official
marks. Coins have powers of endurance
which are appreciated by Psychologists
and ii may be that for the sake of the
diggers in the ruins of this civiiza tior
who may be imagined as seeking fol-
light upon this era. centuries upon cen.
turtles hence, the United States should
proceed to immortalize the features OF
the men who made and those who saved
and then again those who developed this
nation. by means OF the small change
struck from time TO time at the mints.

Openinp Up Rock Creek Park.

The Stars suggestion that, without
waiting for the extension Of the street
car lines to the borders of Rock Creek
Park. vehicles should be installed In
regular service for inter-park service, to
give people access conveniently to all
parts of the great reserve. has brought
results promptly. The Commissioners
have been asked to issue permit to
local company to run line OF motor
buses through the park along established
routes at low rate of fare, which Will
enable thousands of people to see the
glories of the place and allow family
parties to reach their favorite picnic

upon properly drawn conditions regulat-
ing the schedules and the character of
the service When this is done the pub
lie will have an opportunity to enjoy the
park in all it's attractiveness.
1t is in order in this connection to re-
peat a suggestion which The Star has
advanced from time to time in the past.
Rock Creek Park is not an easy place
through which to find ones way. Only
those who have explored Its roads and
paths and found it's short cuts and dis
proceed with confidence. The roads in
tersect and the paths cross in bewil
dering manner that is not unpleasant to
one who fares forth without a desire
to reach particular goal and with no
compulsion of time. But now and then
the paths are no-thoroughfares, and here
and there the roads cross the stream by
means of fords which the pedestrian can
not use The stranger and even the occa-
sional visitor is likely to become confused
and sometimes distress is caused by the
inability to find the way through or out
of the park readily.
1t would greatly add to the convenience
OF all visitors to the park il at the in
tersections of the roads and paths at all
points where travel flows maps were
erected under cover showing clearly the
general features of the reserve and all
the lines OF progress, roads and paths
alike. If then the place of each map
station were marked by a colored dot or
star 1t would be simple for the traveller,
afoot or in a, vehicle, to locate himself
and to know the route necessary to take
him to any desired point, whether in the
park or out OF it. These maps would
cost but trif1e, and, if properly pro-
tected from the weather by substantial
standards and strong glass plates would
be virtually permanent. They would ma
terially aid in opening up the park to
all classes of visitors and insure every
one easy progress.

The Debate Reporters.

From the Chicago Post.
There is general inclination to believe
that the employees of the House and Sen
ate in Washington are not worked to the
point where their health is in danger OF
breaking under the strain The general
belief, we'll founded or not, should make
exception in the case Of the official ste
nographers whose duty it is to report the
debates. These faithful Workmen have
set down and turned into copy for the
printers 3,776.0OO words since the discus
sion of the Payne tariff bill began.
The work of the debate reporters is one
that allows no tagging of mind or hand
They must take every speech with all its
rankings and intersections and with al
it's interruptions. The task of the officia
stenographer is the most trying one that
the government sets, and, moreover, the
lawmakers appreciate the fact. The pay
is good and it Is every cent earned. There
may be some loa ferS In Washington. but
the debate reporters have no fellowship
with them.
