1t is a capital thought that the national
government should establish and conduct
an experimental forest in the vicinity of
the national city. The Star Saturday
gave publicity to a plan conceived by a
Baltimorean looking to the creation of a
national forest north from the District
line to the Patuxent river near Laurel
and east to Annapolis. OSe section of the
forest would stretch In an easterly d.
rection from Bowie to near the head of
navigation on the Patuxent. Another for
est area. which would be considered as a
part of the proposed national forest.
would follow the valley Of the Potomac
from the District line westward to a
point above Great Falls to be determined
at some other time. The main forest
tract eastward of the District would in
clude about 100000 acres, and the author
of the plan has computed that the acqui-
sition of this land would cost the govern
ment In the neighborhood of 900, 600.
The secondary tract bordering the Poto-
mac west of Washington would include
about 10000 acres.
1t Is pointed out that this land is nat
ural forest land and that much of 1t is
now covered with woods, notwithstanding
that the merchantable timber has mostly
been cut away. The territory is well
watered by the Potomac, Anacostia and
Patuxent and large number of small
streams. Being borderland between north
and south. there is in this territory a
larger variety of the forms of tree life
than may be found farther north or
south.
The Department of Agriculture main
tains experiment gardens in the neigh
borhood of Washington; the forestry
service is established in Washington and
splendid public forest on inexpensive
lands near Washington, and lands that
are not now generally given over to till
age, would be an object lesson to the
country. A national forest so close to
Washington would probably aid material
ly in building up sentiment approving the
demonstration of certain lands, not only
for the beauty Of the forest and the con-
servation of timber, but for the protec-
ton Of watercourses and salutary in
f1uence on agriculture.

Care Of Inebriates.

Another citizens association has record
ed its sentiment as favoring an inebriate
hospital. At the last meeting of the North
Capitol and lexington Citizens Associa-
ton resolutions were adopted setting
forth that there is no hospital, home or
other institution in the District of Co
lumbia where inebriates or victims of the
drug habit can be treated. nor is there
any place other than the workhouse where
they can be lawfully committed to pre-
vent their access to either Intoxicating
liquors or injurious drugs"
The campaign for an institution Of the
kind mentioned has been a long one. and
so far unsuccessful, but an earnest cam
paign with a praiseworthy aim will finally
succeed. Local sentiment is practically
unanimous on this point.
The major and superintendent Of the
metropolitan police department in his late
report urged: 1.-THE establishment Of al
inebriate hospital where habitual cases
might be treated and said THE depart
ment is of the opinion that if ward could
be maintained in connection with all sta
ton houses where restraint could be had
and medical attention afforded, 1t would
be a decided advance in the care of those
taken up IN a helpless condition from
overindulgence in stimuants"
Medical opinion favors special treatment
for inebriates Though the habitua
drunkard becomes such Willingly, vet in
time he becomes partially irresponsible,
and is danger to the community. Just
provision should be made in the District
for this class OF unfortunates or de.
fectives.

foe of the painted harlot of protection. :
He would il he could reduce the tariff to
a strictly revenue basis. and write q

But even so ardent a champion of a

many years the national policy and so
much business being now socketed In It,

correcting the evil. He would not try to
build perfect tariff bill in day. lie
realizes that time is required for such a
tremendous job.
The democracy's failure with tariff re
vision in 1894 is usually ascribed to the
Senate. Popular opinion is founded on
a story that the House did its work
thoroughly and consistently. and had the
Senate accepted the Wilson bill as in
dorsed by the House all would have been
well. Tie measure would have met all
requirements. and the democracys hold
on national power been strengthened and
continued.
Mr.. Watterson has never subscribed TO
that absurd proposition. Little as he
liked the Senate'S work, as directed by
Mr.. German. he liked the Houses work.
as directed by Mr.. Wilson. quite as lit
tie, and said so at the time. Both
House and Senate. In his opinion. gave
away the tariff case, and nullified the
democratic victory of 1892.
We should hear from Mr.. Watterson
in the very near future. The democratic
leaders of the House are his friends. and
one of them-Mr. Underwood-grew up
under the drippings of the Wattersonian
sanctuary. AS a native of Louisville. and
reared in the town. the chairman of ways
and means probably took his first les
sons in politics from the columns of the
Courier-Journal Before leaving for Eu-
rope last winter, Mr.. Watterson dis
cussed the tariff with Mr.. Clark and his
friends. and now that he is back, and the

to be in order.

by expediency and ambition. In other
words. their charge is that he is playing
a game: that. believing Organism still
strong in the democratic party. he is
yielding to 1t In the hope OF reward at
the next national convention.
1t may be So AS a politician Gov
Wilson must be human. and very hu-
man. The educator can afford more
obstinacy of opinion than the political
leader. As the head Of Princeton Uni
versity the educator in this case had
only his classes and his standing
among educators to consider AS a
presidential candidate the political
leader in this case must consider dele
gates. and who control them. and how
they may be secured. Political leaders
all do II. They accommodate themselves
to emergencies
Many instances may be cited where
candidates have stood upon platforms
of which they did not wholly approve.
In several cases platforms known to be
desired have been rejected and other
platforms substituted without causing
any change in the plans OF candidates.
Only In two cases in recent years have
efforts been made to tinker the plat
form after adoption. and both failed.

Gov. Wilson Playing the Game.

Some of the democratic admirers of
Gov. Wilson are not pleased with his
conversion TO the initiative. referen-
dunn, and recall. Before entering poll
tics he regarded those propositions
with extreme disfavor. and held them
up to ridicule. Since entering politics.
and particularly since his success in
that field has brought the White House
into his ken, he has reversed that opin-
ion. He is now as much an advocate
as formerly he was an opponent Of
those populistic gratis on democracy
AS young ladies say about a matri-
monial proposition, this is sudden.

pact with Canada. The farmers sooth-

An Invisible Uniform.

Probability OF much night fighting
In future wars gives added value to
the new gray uniform of the German
soldiers" says the Army and Navy
Journal. while this attire proved its
superior invisibility at the recent ma
neuvers during the daytime. it was in
the night fighting that its effectiveness
was best demonstrated In daylight
men engaged in patrol duty and secur-
ity service were unseen by the en-
envy, but those in dark blue in the hos
tile forces at once drew their fire.
Numerous fights took place at night
with, searchlights. and then 1t was
found that the gray was universally
appreciated. Troops wearing the old
uniform were clearly visible on the
ground, even when lying down, while
those in gray were extremely difficult
to discover. even when in close order.
1t is obvious that any color harmonic
ing with the paleness of artificial night
light will be more effective as a shield
from detection. 1t has been estimated
that If one of the contestants at Port
Arthur during the Manchurian war
had had the German type of gray
uniform it would have had a decided
advantage over its adversary In the
