METAPHOR|cAL FIGHT ! BETWEEN SENATOR'S
They Talked But Would Not Get

Washington, Feb. 9.-An amusing encounter between Senator Smith of Michigan and Senator Lodge of Mas sachusetts marked the debate on the Canadian boundary waterways treaty in the executive session of the senate today. MT. Lodge asserted that the foreign affairs committee received from the state department the infor- nation which he believed answered Smiths objections. .ye .-,4.
 Smith declared that the treaty had not been prepared by former Secre- tary Root, but was the work of Chanler Anderson, a New York law yer who had been engaged by the state department on various occa- sions in connection with treaties af- fecting the relations of this country and Canada. Smith intimated that Anderson was too close to the inter ests that control the power rights of Niagara Falls and that. the whole treaty was prepared for the purpose of quieting titles of New York cor porations to these rights.
 MT. Lodge then intiInated that the Michigan senator was not fully ac- quainted with the treaty. This arous- ed Smith. who told Lodge that he did not like his looks or his man. ners. ...-..

The Washington correspondent
Tor the Omaha World Herald says:
Perhaps the least desirable watch
OF the capitol police during the
closing days of the session is that
OF guarding the mace in the house
when a recess is taken over night.
The mace, Familiarity known as the
buzzard, is the American eagle in
silver on the top of a rod, and it is
always raised at the speakers right
hand when the house is in session.
When the house goes into commit.
tee OF the whole the mace is lower
ed. AS time becomes precious to.
ward the end of each session the
house saves time by recessing until
IL or perhaps 10 the next morning
instead of adjourning, in which
case they would not meet until 70.
An hour or two for work is thus
gained, besides doing away with
the reading of the journal each day
and other routine business and
thereby saving more time. The
legislation enacted at such sessions
is dated as of the day the house last
met after an adjournment and all

sition, or all the legislation of the
legislative day in progress is void.
A guard is then sent to keep watch
over the 'buzzard,' lest he fly away
with the work that congress has
done. Of course, if the guard re-
moves the bird from his perch and
puts him to roost in the cloak room,
while he himself takes a nap
there, the legislation still stands,
provided he's at his post in the
morning and nobody finds it out.
The Office of the sergeant. at arms
admits that this has probably been
done, though of course they know
nothing of it, and it would cause
an awful bother if they should"

cratic brethren in any party in
which they happened to be found.
On many economic doctrines Dem
ocrats and Republicans must al
ways differ; but decent Republi-
cans and decent Democrats ought
to agree on the issue between car
ism and popular rule. And the
time is fast coming when decent
men in the two parties will unite
for the common good.
But the members of this roll of
dishonored Democrats belong to the
type of politician that must be re-
morselessly driven from public life
in both parties il progress is not to
stop. That with another election
they will be defeated in such num-
bers as to give control to men
grounded in that honor that keeps
faith 10 people and platform, all
the signs of the time indicate.
When the coalition of Democrats
and insurgents mustered a major
ity, and voted down the motion to
readopt the old rules, the market
for watered securities broke in
Wall Street, and the tickers went
mad in printing off the fall in
stocks. Those tickers were heard
in Washington. The men who
have capitalized Uncle Joe and
what he stands for in blue.sky Sc
curities scurried for cover at the
danger of real popular rule in con-
gress. In the fusillade of the stock
market tickers, Cannon called on
his fellows in the democratic ranks,
and they came. And they would
have come just the same if Bryan
had been president and their action
had wrecked his administration
as it would.
We extend our congratulations to
Mr.. Bryan. He escaped-by very
comfortable margin, it is true-be-
ing shot in the back by his own
men.-La Follette's Magazine.

half the cost of It's purchase and pay
half the cost of its maintenance. They
are entitled to its full use. It really needs
to be advertised, for the vast majority
of our citizens do not know how at
tractive 1t is, and most of them do not
know how accessible it is at the present
time. 1t should be made more accessible,
however and that is the object the Com
missioners have had in view for some
time in considering plans for the extern
sion of street railways, SO as to get peo-
pie who have not carriages or automo-
bileS nearer to the park.
AT several points it is not far from
existing trolley lines. For example, at
the terminus of the 14th street line eX-
tended, which practically skirts the park
there is only short level stretch of
about two blocks before you are in the
park at one Of its most beautiful points.
A spur from the 18th street terminus to
the park is one of the propositions, and
the one which the Commissioners have al
ready approved in principle. the details
being now worked out for them.
Another proposition is to carry line
from Park road down that road to the
Rock creek level and then across the
creek and up the hill and along the west
ern border of the park, but outside of the
park itself. Another is to have spurs
coming over from the Connecticut avenue
line. l think the park is too small to
have street railway lines running any
distance through it, but l favor generally
the propositions for getting up to it's
borders and running along its borders.

sions, which will require congressional

action, much greater use can be made
take the trouble to find the nearest ways
convenient to their homes. Even if 1t
takes a little walking, that will in itself
be good thing.
The Rock Creek board OF control. made
up of the Commissioners and the chief of
engineers of the army, has constantly en-
deavOred to make the attractions of the
park known and make the people who
come there welcomed, and will do every
thing In its power to popularize the park.
Picnics. camps, games of any suitable
kind In appropriate places, have always
been encouraged and always will be. AS
I have often said, l hope our citizens will
more and more use Rock Creek Park,
and | shall do my best to help them to
do SO. That portion north of Military
road is ideal for camps and picnics be-
cause it is less visited by vehicles-auto-
mobiles are forbidden there. The whole
park is Open however, from morning to
morning, and there are no signs to keep
off the grass At the next session of
Congress the Commissioners will bring
forward the propositions upon which they
agree for the extension of railway lines
and other improvements which will make
the park more accessible and more en-
joyable."
There Is no pleasanter place near Wash
ingtOn than Rock Creek Park. Filled with
large shade trees, possessing hundreds of
those fascinating by-paths that wend
their way tortuously in and out through
fields and glades, and with the tiny creek

Everything should be done that can
be done to aid in this Rock Creek Park
boom. The park should be opened wide
to all those who wish to use it, and
they should not be hampered by the
numerous keep off -the-grass" cast-irOn
rules and restrictions prevalent in other
places. 1t should be Il municipal play
ground All should be allowed to have
their pleasure as they see fit to take
it"
The Commissioners have wondered
since the agitation for more acces-
sib1e park began why the camper and
calmness and quietude should have
searched the country wide for his four
leaf clover when it lay at his own back
door. There are no more restrictions
on campers today than there were
twenty years ago. There was no more
reason then why man should not take
his tent into the open fields pitch it
and remain in quiet contemplation OF
the beautiful panorama spread out be-
fore him than there is now.
The Commissioners are heartily in
favor OF the use of portion of the big
reservation as a sort of general camp
ing ground. They believe that, in addi-
ton to depicting the over-filled sections
of the southwest. it would aid in the
upbuilding, physically and morally, OF
men, even as the children's Fairgrounds
are upbuilding the youngsters born OF
poor parents.
Many years ago, when the park was
first thrown open to the general public,
