SPECULATION AS TO AN APPEAL

Since the filing of the report of the
commission which has been ascertain
ing for condemnation purposes the
value of the land in the five squares
between Pennsylvania avenue and the
Mall, 14th and 18th streets. there has
been much speculation as to when the
government will begin to take posses
sion of the property in question.
A second question, raised because 81
dissatisfaction with the awards on the
part of some of the property owners.
is as to what can be accomplished py
an appeal to the higher courts and
whether one appeal will hold up the
taking of possession of the property
not involved in the appeal
Prominent attorneys of the city sail
this morning that they believed that as
soon as the Supreme Court of the Dis
trict has confirmed the award and the
President of the United States has
caused the amounts to be paid to the
respective owners or into the United
States Treasury, in case the owners
are unable or neglect to receive pay

of the government in Immediately taking
possession Of the property. Even though
appeals are taken in some cases, it is
also believed by prominent attorneys the
government could pay for and take DOS
session Of the other parcels not concerned
in the appeals.
Under the laws governing the proceed
ings by which the government is con-
demning the land in question. many law
yers declare there are serious doubts as
to whether any appeal can be taken from
the award of the commission after its
confirmation by the District Supreme
Court. The laws themselves make no pro-
vision for appeals; and the only ground
Tor believing that an appeal may be taken
is found in the act creating the Court of
Appeals, which Is very general.
The law providing for the condemnation
of the five squares between Pennsylvania
avenue, the Mall, 14th and 10Th streets
says:
THAT the Secretary of the Treasury be.

lfR. JEROMEs CANDIDACY.

Mr.. Jeromes decision 10 seek reelection rs an
independent, nominated by petition is, we think,
not only logical but polite His candidacy, in
order TO be effective. must appeal 10 the infiu-
ences which elected him in 1901 and 1905. In
both those campaigns he represented the cause
Of independence in politics. Of good administra-
ton divorced from the control of party Organiza-
tons Although a Democrat, he ran against the
nominee of the Democratic party and owed his
election to Republican and Independent votes.
In his last campaign he severed all relations
with political organizations as such He an
nounced that he would owe his election directly
10 the people, and not at all TO the party man
ayers. and he reentered office entirely free from
partisan obligations. Believing. as he does,
that he has satisfied the constituency which hon
Ored him, il is only natural and proper that he
should seek a reimbursement after the same
fashion. He therefore intends TO give the voters
a chance TO say what they think of his record,
irrespective of the disposition toward him OF
those who control party nominations.
Mr.. Jerome's peculiar strength as a vote getter
has lain in the appeal which he has made TO
those who dislike machine rule it has too
often been manifested in city politics. He has
bitterly attacked the leaders of both parties and
has assailed most violently the political auto
Gratis who in his time have guided the destinies
of that most undemocratic eXemplfcatiOn Of
rule from the top, by the top and Tor the TOP
which passes for local Democracy. In view of
those assaults it would have been illogical and
unbecoming on Mr.. Jerome's part to seem now to
seek a nomination from the machines which he
condemned Consistency compelled him TO hold
that he had a better warrant for his candidacy
than their approval and that they should come TO
him. instead of his going 10 them, if there was
any question Of placing his name on a regular
party ticket.
The District Attorney says that he will gladly
accept support from any quarter, it being under
stood that such support does not impose on him
any political or partisan obligations. No one
can quarrel with that attitude. We think that
the voters will re-elect reject him on his own
record. He will be his own issue. II is better
therefore, that he should enter the field as dis
tinctly independent candidate, going his own
way and pooling interests with no other candi-
dates. If he is able TO evoke the fervOr and
create the popular ferment which characterized
his two earlier candidates., which we seriously
Goubt, it will be because he stands alone and
argues his own case unfettered by any partisan
affiliations or alliances.

BROOKLYN'S DAY COMING.

We are glad TO see that The Brooklyn Eagle"
has taken Controller Metz in hand for the pur-
pose of showing that his pessimistic views OF
growth and progress across the bridge are due
10 a faulty arithmetical method. Mr. Metz
seems 10 be afraid that Brooklyn Will grow so
big that subway extensions there will become
unavoidable. He therefore takes his pencil in
hand 10 prove in "Pearson's Magazine" that
Brooklyn in 1920 will still be tagging behind
Manhattan in population. The Controller calcu-
lates that eleven years from now Manhattan
will have 100000 inhabitants and Brooklyn
only 2.350OO0 The Eagle" says tnat Mr.
Metz's calculation is based on the misleading
assumption that the rate of increase in Man
haitian from 1900 TO 1920 will be the samesas
from 1850 10 1900. Ii is not likely TO be- since
the growth of Manhattan has been checked be-
cause its relatively small area has been built
up and because high rents in this borough are
forcing people across the Harlem the East
River and the Hudson. BrOOkyns rate of
growth is now much in excess of Manhattan's
and we ore inclined TO side with The Eagle" in
its contention that Mr.. Metz's totals should be
transposed, giving Brooklyn the greater popu-
latiOn in 1920.
Yet If that contention is 10 be conceded, what
is 10 become of our contemporaries favorite az
gument that Brooklyn must preserve its Eau

the domination" of Manhattan? Power goes
with population, and the bigger borough cannot
well be terrorized and oppressed by the smaller

THE NEW BALKAN STATTS

Turkeys recognition Of the royal title OF
Ferdinand Of Bulgaria probably removes the
last obstacle TO universal acquiescence in his
new status king instead of prince. That
Turkey agrees to call him King of the Bulgars
instead of King Of Bulgaria however is some
what surprising. To call him king instead OF
prince means little. but 10 call him King of the
Bugars means much which nav soon be of
serious import 10 the Turkish Empire For that
title is 10 be interpreted signifying that he
is AT least dc jure sovereign of all the Rulgars
wherever they may be found. in Macedonia as
wei in Bulgaria itself, which NAV result
in renewal Of and persistence in the attempts
OF years past to arouse Instruction in Mace
donna for the purpose of securing annexation to
Bulgaria. The question, What's in a name?"
may in this case be answered in a manner both
awkward and expensive for the Ottoman En-
pire.
Ii is Interesting TO observe that Simultaneous
ly with the recognition Of Ferdinand as King
the Austro- Hungarian sovereign has elevated
Baron Aehrenthal 10 the dignity of hereditary
count, as measure Of reward, of course for
his services in annexing Bosnia and Here
