Fright" Horns On Automobiles.

Opposition is developing in some
cities to the unusual noise-making de-
vices employed on some automobiles.
IT. probably happens that these freak
horns defeat their purpose Of warning
pedestrians by alarming them. Many
persons when frightened cannot move
quickly, and in a good many instances
cannot move at all.
The ordinary automobile horn may be
startling enough when blown by an i'm
patient and inconsiderate driver. But
the horn whose note is an imitation OF
the screech of ferocious beast or any
other atrocious noise should be out
lawed in a city's streets.

set forth In a letter written by the super

Spencer Mussey. The kindergarten super
intendent wanted contributions of cast
of clothing from school children. The
board Of education suggested that the As

A republic for Spain? Under whose
leadership? Is there a man within the
realm qualified for that Office, and whose
election to it would command the conf
dence Of the outside world? There Is a
republican party in Spain. and among Its
members are some able men, but when
that is conceded we are yet long way
from material strong enough to launch
and support q republican form of govern
ment. We may all wish for Spain far
better conditions than now exist without
shutting our eyes to the fact that they
are not easily produced, and are not to
be expected by the way Of anarchy.
France resorted to anarchy, and drew
Napoleon for prize. It was not until
nearly q hundred years later that she
enjoyed a government worthy OF the
name republic. and from which began to
benefit in happiness and prosperity for
the masses.

would read any OF them. AS q rule men
and women will not even read the In
scriptions on the impressive and beautiful
monuments that abound in Washington.
The historic marker Is a good thing
within limit and under proper restraint.
Washington should have a system Of at
tractive and permanent markers on MIS-
toric buildings sites of historic buildings
and on spots where history has been
made. The location Of the markers should
be under the direction OF q competent
board. broad enough to be in sympath
with all forms of history. Some men lean
altogether to war heroes and some to
peace heroes. Some men have their pet
periods Of history With some men all HIS
tory was made in the earlier colonial
period. with others in the revolutionary
period. with others in the civil war Pc
Rod and other men have their visions
contracted by other periods.
The work of marking points Of historic
interest in the District Of Columbia prob
ably will soon be taken up. Usually with
some great celebration impe nding a COM
mittee on the marking Of historic points
has been appointed and temporary mark
ers put in place. In preparation for the
inauguration of Taft and Sherman a
marking committee was named. The Of
ficers were William P. Van Wickle. chair
man; William V. Cox. vice chairman; DR..
Marcus Benjamin. historian: Edward T.
Bates, secretary, and A. F. Bauer, CORE
spending secretary. The membership of
ninety-three men represented all the in
terests and activities Of Our civic life.
The work of this committee was we'll
done. A vast amount Of data relating to
historic locations in Washington and the
surrounding country was collected. sifted.
condensed and applied. After the inausu-
ration Commissioner Mcfarland in a
conference with the chairman, vice
chairman and historian Of the committee
urged that permanent organization be
effected. The Commissioner suggested
that these gentlemen submit to the Com
missioners list of citizens who could
render valuable service on a permanent
board of memorial markers. and that
such a board would be created. There
the matter stands. 1t is but one step to
the creation of such body Of local his
torians. and the plan should be carried
into execution.

New Postage Stamps.

The Post ONCE Department is doing the
handsome thing for stamp collectors. 1t
has been generous in the issue of new
varieties Of postage stamps. mostly Of a
commemorative kind, and thousands of
albums have been enriched. Without
thinking very far back into the past there
have been the jamestown exposition
stamps. the Lincoln centenary, Yukon
exposition and the Hudson Fulton stamps.
With such a line Of precedents 1t is likely
that many more commemorative stamps
will be issued.
1t might be Of interest If it could be de-

quantities are absorbed without thought

President Diaz.

President Diaz is accredited with hav-
ing made Mexico. He has been some
time on the job. but, when he began.
things were in very unpromising con-
dition. strong man was needed and
the people soon discovered that in him
they had a master state builder. He
showed both grasp and firmness. and un-
der his hand progress began. Order sue
ceeded disorder. Laws were enforced
Public credit was established. At home
and abroad the name of Mexico was adj
vanced i'm estimation. 1t stands now
very high wherever known.
In America We have been following the
career Of this extraordinary man with the
closest attention and the liveliest appre-
citation. So great has been American
trust in him. indeed. American capital in
large volume has sought and found in
vestment in Mexico. and is an important
factor in the present development of the
country American visitors have in
creased year by year, until many OF our
travelled people know Mexico almost as
well as they do the familiar sections OF
their own land. They are well received.
well entertained. and tell upon their re-
turn of the beautiful cities and growing
towns of which Mexico now boasts Many
progressive Americans have settled across
the border and feel at home.
The question is often asked. what Of the
future? Is order so well established, con-
tinued progress SO well assured, that the
passing of President Diaz will bring no
reaction? He is surrounded by strong
men, though none appears to equal him.
Soldier and statesman are well united
in him, and show in all that he has
achieved. He is an old man, approach
ing eighty, and, although still vigorous.
lie cannot be expected to hold the reins
much longer. When he lays them down
and leaves the box. then what about the
coach?
Though President Diaz has overshadow-
ed all Of his countrymen, it is not 10 be
supposed that he is essential to the Sc
curity Of his work Men have grown UP
in his shadow and developed under the
inspiration Of his example who have In
them the capacity for big things. and
when the hour strikes one of them will

may not measure up to the full Diaz
standard. but Is it necessary that he
should? Diaz for his day, and the
will descend to his successor, and it will
be for the latter to build still higher
upon that solid foundation.
America honors President Diaz, and
President Taft, in taking his hand today

pose, is manifesting his own as we'll as

Riparian Rights on the Anacostia

The District Commissioners have an
nounced their determination to urge on
Congress at its next session the reclama-
ton Of the Anacostia marshes. The de-
mand for this Improvement has become
clamorous in the eastern section Of the
city and the eastern suburbs
Another encouraging feature of the rec
lamAtion fight. the Commissioners point
out, Is that they will be able to give to
Congress the information demanded by
that body concerning land titles along the
shores of the Anacostia river. A special
examination of the titles is being made
by Hugh 7. Taggart, and his report, 1t

Let US know the circumstances under

thoughts into measure. He developed no
striking talent in that line, but showed
that he could turn the trick.
Mr.. Lincoln tried his hand more than
once, and did not fail completely. He
was a man of feeling and Imagination,
and tender themes appealed to him. As
prose poet he stands at the head Of all
our public men, including Webster.
In England Addison was poet. as well
as statesman and essayist Charles James
Fox and, little later. George Canning

verses. D'Israeli in his youth, set on fire
