MASSACHUSETTS WARNS THE
REPUBLICAN PARTY.

Up IN Massachusetts, Governor Draper
Is reelected on the Republican ticket
by a majority reduced TO a mere
shadow Of what it was a year ago. Only
by great exeTtions at the last moment
On the part of himself and the Re
publican State committee was he saved
from defeat. Senator Henry Cabot
Lodge, the scholar of the Senate, who
usually resides in a stratum elevated
above the roll and mol Of everyday
politics, was compelled to take off his
coat and 90 to work. Had a stronger
man headed the Democratic ticket that
man would have been elected.
Without question the Iebuke given
the Republicans in Massachusetts, is
because the people there are dissatisfied
with the Republican party's treatment
of the tariff issue. They believe the
party is controlled by interests which
should not be allowed to control it.
1t does not appear the labor question
cut a large figure so far as votes are
concerned.
Diapers reduced majority was due
mainly to the feeling of the people OF
Massachusetts, that tariff duties have
been left inordinately high in behalf
Of few favored interests.
The effects of the revolt of Eugene
n. Foss on the outcome are clearly dis.
cernible. Mr.. Foss, however. was in
second place on the ticket, and was not
in the best position TO achieve the re-
suits he aimed at. 1t is intimated that
next year be will be.
For the most part, the elections Tues.
day were not of deep national sig
nifcanee, but the one in Massachusetts
was Of nationwide Importance. The
results there do not need Interpretation
to the man who studies the facts with
his eyes open. But viii the Republican
party leaders look at them in that
fashion? VIII the leaders in Rouse ans
Senate at last perceive that the tim,
has come when they must reckon witt
public sentiment and quit jammin;
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1909-11-04

legislation through in utter disregard
OF the peoples wishes? It is much to
be doubted whether they viii permit
themselves to be taught a lesson de-
spite the clearness of the one presented
by the Massachusetts results. The out
come IN Massachusetts, is a clear index
to popular sentiment on the tariff in
many States, and the House and Senate
organization leaders viii find that in
surgency the coming winter viii be
greatly strengthened by it.

THE ''SO-LIKE.NATURE"MO
MENT IN OUR PARKS.

Baron and Baroness ShibUsawa were
delighted with Rock Creek Park. It
was so like nature" to their eyes. And
through the long drive with which
their visit to Washington began they
nodded and smiled and clapped their
hands as they noted the winding creek
in its beautiful valley, the varieOlored
hillsides, the fords through which their
automobile splashed.
Their pleasure tells the story of
A american progress in the making Of
,arks. The day of formal circles, dia-
monds, crescents, outlined in begonias
of different colors is passed. To people
not so busy with the making of money
it would never have come. The thirty
five other cities which have entertained
the japanese party had each one its
parks, and, while none of them can offer
the natural loneliness of Rock Creek
valley, probably not one has not re-
sponded in some measure to the move
ment away from unnatural stiffness
and toward natural freedom of design
Bat this is a tendency which cannot
be developed reclIlessly. Gardening is
yet the most uncertain of the arts.
The japanese themselves make beauty
by defining every unusual tendency of
their trees-these are dwarfed, these
trained to grow like umbrellas, these
to shoot out at angles. VIII the
adapted architecture Of Greece re
flected in our public buildings find a
proper setting in such gardening
Hardly.
The problem is not new. The nobility
of Italy, the Popes, the Louis wrought
out of Roman geometry of design not
only gardens of marked intrinsic beauty
but settings for the architecture Of
Italy and France which added beauty to
the great public structures of those
countries. England has likewise made
parks of wonderful natural beauty
without either the miniatming of ia
pan OF the wildness of the mountain
side. And the writings of Maynard, of
Repton, of Jaeger, all point the way to
a development of our Washington parks
which ain make of them true frames
for ON new Government buildings and
appropriate vestibules to the splendid
naturalness of our outlying parks.
We must guard against the topiarian
trimming of our shrubs and trees into
the shapes of peaeocks, balls of grad
uated size, and animals. We must steer
wide of that pseudo adornment which
now marks the typical railway station.
But must be equally watchful not
to let love of nature on a broad scale
lead as into a scheme of gardening in
the limited space Of city parks which
viii fail to re-enforce the beauty of our
buildings.

DEFEAT or TAMMANY
CRUSHING ONE.

The more fully the returns from the
New York election are analysed the
palmer it becomes that Tammany has
been struck the worst blow in years. It
is not to be expected that it means the
death of Tammany. Through the
power of greed for plumber Tammany
has lived on more than century, and
it will continue to live. But it viii
not be easy for it TO regain the grip
it once held On the city of New York.
It Is possible Leader Murphy viii be
thrown out, a new leader chosen, and
efforts made to effect a better organ
ization. When the next election comes
along Tammany win come up smiling
and in good fighting trim.
The opponents of Tammany and the
supposed earnest adherents of the cause
of good municipal government have
elected the board Of estimate and other
important officers for four years. This
is a long enough term to produce re
suits, and results viii be expected. It
depends, not so much on Tammany, as
on these newly elected officers on the
Republican, Fusion ticket, whether New
York is held for any length of time
out of the grip of the tiger. If it de-
velops that in trying to get away
from Tammany the people of New
York have merely walked into the EN-
brace of another set of corrupt CT plant
masters, themselves the tools of great
corporate interests which want to
fatten on the billion dollar budget the
city viii spend in the next four years
and on the highly valuable franchises
the city win grant, then Tammany
may be expected to regain its ascen-
daney at the first opportunity.
Judge Gaynor, ike the other officials
who have been elected, has a great
opportunity. If he proves what he pro-
fessed, that he is not in the power of
Tammany, and is his own master, it
viii mean much TO New York, and there
is no telling how far he viii yet 60
politically. Judge Gaynor has the
capacity to give New York a good ed-
ministration. But he cannot do it if
he is to be at the beck and call Of
Murphy.
New York has repudiated Tammany
and repudiated it hard. It now remains
to be seen whether the officials who
have been elected live up to the stan
dard expected of them OF permit them
selves to sink back to the Tammany
level. The real results Of the New York
election cannot be told until many
months have elapsed.

Homemade Pocket Lamp.

A simple and safe pocket lamp that
will last for about six months without
extra expense can be made at home
for few cents.
Have your druggist take a strong
vial of clear glass or pill bottle with
screw or cork top and put into it a
piece of phosphorus about the size of
pea and fill the bottle one-third full
Of pure olive Oil that has been heated
for fifteen minutes, but not boiled
Cork tightly, and the result will be a
luminous light in the upper portion of
the bottle If the light becomes dim,
uncork and recork again. The lamp
will retain it's brilliancy for about six
months. This makes a perfectly safe
lamp to carry. These lamps are used
by watchmen of powder magazines.
Care should be exercised in handling
the phosphorus, as it is very poison
