cattle needed long horns for the pro-

the cattle do not need horns. Among
the hornless breeds are the Galloway,

POpulnr.zing Rock Creek Park.

Citizens Of Brlghtwood. who have been
earnest and steadfast champions Of the
opening up Of Rock Creek Park to the
general public. are naturally much elated
over the widespread interest now awak-
ened on the subject.
Attention is called to the fact that the
Brightwood Citizens Association. Louis
P. Shoemaker president. on October 6.
1908, passed a strong resolution, and later
presented It 70 the Commissioners, urg-
ing that the roads in the park be widened
ond the reservation be made accessible
10 the public by means OF street railway
facilities. Whether this received the Off
eial attention It deserved We are not in
formed. but It is pleasing 70 us now. as II
is 10 the people OF Brightwood. TO know
that the Commissioners are taking active
steps TO bring about the opening up OF
the park. such as the whole public wants.
Certainly. the roadways ought to be
widened. for there is more or less danger

the narrow highways But II everything
cannot be done at once. primary consld-
Grafton should be given 10 the people as a
whole who are denied the use OF the park,
rather than 10 the fortunate possessors OF
carriages and automobiles, who are the
exclusive benehciaries OF It under existing
conditions. The power rests with Con-
gress. however. not with the Commits
sioners; and there is hopeful Sign Of
favorable action at the coming session IN

themselves in support OF the paramount
proposition to open up the park
Undoubtedly there would be opposition.

trate the whole OF the park with a line
following the course Of Rock Creek: but
It ought 10 be feasible 10 plan the con-
struction Of a railway skirting the park
and entering at certain points that would
not mar the beauties Of the park IN the
least. but make it readily accessible 10
the city generally. As for the sugges-
ton that such a line could not be main
tained proitably, we do not accept II for

reation resort. The Capital will be sin
gularly blessed when the magnificent
reservation comes into its own by becom-
ing the peoples own. And by reading
the comments IN The Washington Herald
to-day II will be found that Senators
and other public men take precisely this
view OF the case. All of which augurs

The Ordinary Man.

somewhat difficult.

PENNSYLVANIA Transrressnrs.

The notorious scandal Of graft sur
rounding the erection and adornment OF
the State capitol at Harrisburg may soon
reach its punitive conclusion. Unless
the Supreme Court intervenes, the former
auditor general and the superintendent Of
public buildings will be obliged 10 under
&C their sentences OF Imprisonment for
ten years and a fine Of $500 each. In the
disposition OF these Pennsylvania prosecu-
tions death has played a conspicuous part.
The chief contractor for decoration died
last May, and the death Of the State
treasurer, who paid out most of the
money. soon followed The grave also
intervened between the law and the con-
