Buy the Lands Now.

\ resolution adopted last night at a
Joint meeting of the Randle Highlands
and Twining City citizens associations
expresses local need and general opinion
as to the way that need should be met
The resolution follows:
/. Resolved That the honorable Commits
Sioners be requested TO recommend to
Congress the establishment Of chain of
parks, natural or otherwise, about the
city of Washington, and that such action
he taken speedily before all the available
park sites are stripped of their natural
beauty through their subdivision and the
erection of buildings thereon
Greater Washington has leaped the
boundaries of older Washington. 1t has
jumped rivers and ridges. The settled
area is several times wider and longer
than the early city fathers contemplated.
This great new city that Is building
around the older city is without adequate
park space. Big sections are without
any park space.
Natural parks are being biotted out by
new streets and new houses. The value
cf the land in the hills about and the
plateaus above Washington is triffns
when compared with what that land must
eventually be worth.
Sooner or later park tracts in the newer
sections will have 10 be bought. Cities
are not now content to get along with
out public parks. The sooner these need
ed and eligible park lands are bought the
less they will cost Postpone the pur-
chase and soldly built areas will have

treasure.
Buy the lands now and the present
generation, as we'll as future generations,
will have the benefit of them at a trivial
cost. Postpone the purchase of these
lands and the present generation will be
denied the use Of them, and posterity
10 enjoy them must pay high for that
privilege.
If tire plan of making the American
capital the model and beauty city of the
world is to be persevered in parks must

ing save for very short distances-men
and women without muscles. utterly de-
peraient upon artificial means OF locomo-
ton. Some Darwin of remote future
may trace out the causes of physical
changes in terms Of street cars.
If the daily walk to or from work Is
too great a task for the car slave, an oc-
casional country stroll is worth while. in
spiring and helpful The exercise will do
much to keep the body from becoming
altogether fiabby and inefficient. But
there is greater result than the physical
in the presentation OF new points of view,
the painting of new pictures upon the
retina, the stimulation Of new currents of
thought. 1t is peculiar fact that the
average mind is more receptive dur
ing the process of walking than at any
other time. A person of ordinary mental
capacity taking five-mile tramp into the
country will inevitably gain some new
concept of life. and perhaps will be ad-
mitted to a glimpse of real nature. not zoo
park nature. but the life of the creatures
in their native state. Perhaps he will
acquire a previously unimagined sense Of
what a tree means in the general scheme
of things, how 1t befriends man, how it
aids the animals and the birds.
Some men may persuade themselves that
they do not want to know about such
matters. They are content with the facts
they gain within urban bounds. They are
satisfied to read about the creatures of
wood and field, and the plants and trees,
if there is anything especially interesting
to learn. They have not yet known the
Joy of discovery. They do not understand
the zest with which even the commonest
fact of outdoor life appeals to the one
who learns it for himself. There is tale
of business man who. dragged unwill
ingly into the country for picnic, was
suddenly missed and was. after an anX-
ious search, found prone on the ground
by a slack water pond intently watching
some tadpOles disporting in the water. He
had learned that life in shallow pool is
relatively as complex and diverse as in a
great city, and he became at once an en-
thusiastic student of nature. to the in
finite Improvement of his health and the
consequent advantaga Of his business at
fairs.
But the walk is the thing. the swinging
progress along roads and paths. across
fields. through woods. over rocks, bring
ing the body into full play and starting
sluggish blood to full circulation The
vapors of ill temper dissipate. The worries
of intricate affairs are smoothed away.
Philosophy assumes command and orders
a better adjustment than before. Good
appetite is stimulated and sound sleep
comes at night. The man who uses his
legs intelligently takes short cut toward
health.

Mr.. Roosevelt in French Ewes,

The French correspondents sent to
cover" Mr.. Roosevelt's arrival at Naples
and brief ssojourn there and In the vi
cinity are letting themselves go about
the man and his country and the power
of the presidency of the United States.
Some are making wonderful discoveries.
Some are charging upon things very
familiar here at home. Others are
dressing UP things unfamiliar to them
with mild satire. All are entertaining
their readers.
We may believe that Mr.. Roosevelt
had job on his hands with those gen.
tlemen. The Partisan journalist Of the
high class excels in imagination and de-
scription. He Is pre-eminentiy a phrase
maker. He packs good deal into small
space. He reveIs in the unusual. and

but an opportunity to exercise his best
power upon it. Such a man as Mr..
Roosevelt comes his way but once in a
lifetime; and having but a glance at
him and word with him the man from
Paris must let his rare talents and large
experience do the rest.

that Mr.. Roosevelt in some of his char
acteristics suggests the German en-
peror and what we have from Naples
shows that the French correspondents
carried with them their ideas of the
kaiser. upon whom they have for years
been exercising themselves. Volubility
of utterance, ceaseless animation. and a
frank disposition to talk about himself
called up the familiar picture. Here was
the American kaiser.

upon the power of the President of the
United States, described as greater than
that of any potentate In Europe. This is
something which because of our familiar

home here. We bestow upon our chief
executive very great poWcT, anu see

institutions.

His program comprehended big things.
and the interests of eighty millions of
capable people were in his hands. In
a moment he was cut down by a mis-
creant, and in a few days the whole of
the tremendous power in his hands

the Constitution to receive it.

Flower Beds.

From the Baltimore American.
Everywhere nature is showing signs of
the revival that has been going on an
nually from the beginning of time. The
trees are ready to burst in bloom. The
early blossoms have appeared. the blue
bird and the robin are heard in the fields
and on the lawns. The real estate man is
calculating sales by the score and the
suburbanite is laying Off his flower beds.
But aside from the signs of spring in
the country and on tine citys outer rim,
there are unmistakable signs of the adj
vent of the scft months of listless effort
and dangerous enjoyment in the activi-
ties of the men, women and children in
the back yard gardens of the city. Never
has there been so much attention given
the subject of identifying these places as
today. All periodicals contain hints and
observations on garden methods and
plants. so that the dissemination of fiori-
cultural knowledge is widespread.
