Mr.. Bryan on Platform.

Mr.. Bryan's reception at Albany Tues
day was exceedingly cordial, and he was
evidently moved by it. His mind wen,
slipping back to the time when his pres
ence there was most unwelcome. and
when David b. Hill was moved to say
that while he. Hill. was still democrat
he was very still. So were many others
This must have been recalled by Mr.
Bryan. and doubtless inspired his remark
that 1t is pleasant for me to talk down

of the peace
The honors paid the visitor were all he
could have desired. He addressed the leg
islature. and had the closest attention
He was introduced to an enormous crowd
at night meeting by Gov. Dix. who
hailed him as a prophet and assured him
of a place among the greatest men of his
time. And he was the governors guest
over night at the official mansion. Look

Growth of the Fruit Business.

For years the advice has been freely
given to American people to eat more
fruit. The advice has been taken, and
Americans are eating more fruit. The
census of fruit trees for 1910 shows the
increase in the orchard industry to be
stupendous. From the home orchard of a
few apple, pear and peach trees. with
occasional plum and cherry trees, the
orchard has grown to be one of the big
commercial propositions Of the country.
Hundreds of millions of trees have come
into bearing in the last decade.
The figures of the International trade
in fruits show a large development Of
the fruit business. In 1901 the United
States exported fruits to value of $S.-
279,21s, and in 1910 to a value of $685.
023. $50. about $50 per cent increase. Fruit
and nut imports in 1901 were s2O,OOOOOo
and in 1910. s44.OOOOOO. The increase In
bananas was from s6,s47. 900 to So, 433 900.
Men can remember when fresh fruits,
cality. were rare. Malaga grapes and
Italian lemons were either for the rich,
the extravagant or for sick people. Now
fresh fruit comes across the continent by
hundreds of trainloads. Ship cargoes of
oranges come in from distant parts of
the earth, and midwinter peaches, pears
and plums come to Washington from
South Africa and reach the table In lus-
cious condition. The fruit season is con-
tinuous, and the season for each species
of fruit is heightened from a few weeks
to nearly the whole year.
The success of the grove and orchard
industry in the north and the new west
has stimulated fruit growing at our very
doors. Systematic fruit culture is being
entered into on a large scale in Mary
land, and the apple yield of Virginia in
1910 was 569, ,466 barrels, against 379, GA
barrels in 1909. due both to increased
crops Of old and the coming into bearing
Of new orchards. Throughout the south
ern Appalachian region new orchards OF
apple, peach and pear trees are being
set out In Pennsylvania, for the en-
couragement of fruit growing, the state
department of agriculture has established
25O model orchards. and each summer
holds a number Of public Institutional
meetings in these orchards.

on the 1896 picture, and then on this.
The contrast could not be sharper.
In his remarks to the legislature, Mr..
Bryan was very pointed and earnest on
the subject of the binding character Of a
party platform. His opinion is that un-
less a candidate repudiates or qualities
his party's deliverance during his cam
paign he must obey it If elected to Office.
If reputation takes place after election
the official is guilty of a wrong. Mr..
Bryan. who knows how to be emphatic,
likens such man to one who has OBJ
tanned something under false pretenses,
and refers to folks in the penitentiary.
The immediate inspiration of these OBJ
servations was the condition of certain
measures before the New York legisla-
ture bearing the Endorsement of the
Rochester convention. Mr.. Bryan thus
urged action on the income tax, direct
primaries and popular election of SEN
ators. which for one reason or another
are still hanging in the balance. AS
those measures were indorsed at Roe'h-
ester they should be written upon the
books by the legislature elected partly
on the strength of them.
But maybe Mr.. Bryan intended his re-
Albany. They certainly apply here. His
party In Congress is revising the tariff.
and its guide, according. to him. IS the
Denver platform. That is the democ-
racy's latest national deliverance, and 1T
did not fail. SO far as the party is con-
cerned, when his candidacy for the pres
idency failed. 1t survived, and Is today
the only chart the democrats in Con-
gress have.
But may they be expected to use 1t now
after setting it aside two years ago?
When the republicans were revising the
Dingley law there were democratic SEN
ators and representatives who voted for
protective duties which the Denver plat
form had expressly prescribed. They
gave as their reason the interests of their
constituents, and the demands of their
constituents. democrats as well as repub-
licans. Have they changed since? When
those same items come up again shall We
not see them voting the same way again.
and justnying themselves in the same
way? Pointed and emphatic as is this
Albany speech. will it have any effect
here?

In the Parks.

The beauty and comfort Of the parks
are being enjoyed by a large number of
people. These are summer resorts-bits
OF woodland illuminated with flowers and
merry with splashing, spraying fountains
which all Washingtonians may enjoy
without divorcing themselves from bed
and board Of home. The parks are lovely
acres Of the country through which city
folk may stroll and in which city children
may play without the Inconvenience of
long travel and heavy expense.
At this period of the year the parks
are strikingly beautiful. The flower beds
have had or are having their spring plant
ing, and many of the circles are set with
oiossoming begonias-which some old
timers call wax geranium-in pink, whit.
and red. The true geraniums have been
transpianted from the prOpagating gar
dens in the Monument grounds, and their
white. red, pink and salmon blossoms
contribute to tue color scheme. Around
the borders have been planted the coIeus
with Its red, wine, purple, green and yell
low foliage. and the crotons have also
been set out-those weird troplc ionast
plants with leaves striped and mottled in
strange markings with yellow, reds.
green's, black and bronze that sometimes
suggest a serpent and other times a
clown.
Saliva is planted, but this is not to
blaze quite yet. Only the red saliva,
which ordinary folk call scarlet sage, is
set out in the parks. not only because
of its brilhancy but because of its greater
hardness. IL being a more vigorous plant
than the purple or the white SALIVA. The
cannas are in their places and are making
ready to burst out with their big blossoms
in all the shades of red and yellow.

Merger.

The Board of Trade will say tonight
whether IT thinks that in the public
interest IT should cease to exist The
merger OF two corporations into one
means that each of the old organiza-
tions shall die. The vital questions
before the board will be: "Does the
Board of Trade deserve to die?" and
shall the Board OF Trade commit sui
cider"
This suicide and new birth through
merger are earnestly urged on grounds
of public policy. II Is contended that
there should be no duplication of effort
and that 1t is better to have one strong,
united organization to represent the COM
munity than two comparatively weak
ones.
Those who oppose the merger contend
that duplication OF effort is to be wisely
avoided by the pursuit OF different lines
of work In the different organizations, as,
for instance. commercial in the Chamber
and strictly local In the sectional citizens
associations; and that unity and harmony
are not necessarily accomplished by
thrusting two cats together into a single
bag.

of the Washington Board of Trade. while
fighting for barbor improvements. public
wharves, deeper channels and the i'm
provement for navigation of the Anacostia
river above the navy yard bridge, pre-
pared a statement showing that the re-
cepts and shipments by water into and
out of Washington in the year named
aggregated S7S.S23 tons. The number of
steamers drawing from five to fifteen
feet arriving and departing was 1850;
number Of vessels drawing from ten TO
twenty-one feet. 300; vessels drawing four
to ten feet, 1,1JO. and barges and scows.
400. The main articles of traffic were
coal, cement, coke. fertilizer, brick, ice.
laths, lumber. naphtha. oil and gasoline,
oysters. sand and gravel, shingles. stone.
wood. paving blocks. piles, brick clay and
railroad ties.
The commerce of Washington harbor
has no doubt grown considerably since

amounts now to a million tons a year.

Walsh and Morse.

The Presidents decision in the pardon
cases of Walsh and Morse is most COM
mendabIe, and will work for public good
Strong pressure was resisted. and
righteous verdicts will stand.
In these two cases every note of SYM
pathy was sounded by the champions OF
the condemned. Both are old men. Mr..
Walsh being past the three score and
ten mark. Both for many years lived
clean lives of much usefulness. Both
made many friends. Both figured in the
charities of the day. Naturally, when the
evil they had done overlook them and
fate demanded a settlement. the good
they had done was cited and emphasized
IN the pleas for mercy.
In the case of Mr.. Morse an excellent
woman and devoted wife attracted wide
attention by her industry in her huS-
bands behalf. Mr.. Walsh's family were
not lacking in devotion to him, but Mrs.
Morse Iabored with a zeal that knew
neither rest nor limit. She not only quick
ened interest In localities already familiar
with the subject. but created an interest

whom everybody felt respectful and sin

Pardon at any time. In either case,
would have been against public interest.
but might have wrought especial injury
TO the public at this time. AS high jinks
in the banking world as were cut by
either Morse or Walsh have but recently
been exposed In New York: and business
circles there and elsewhere are still ring
ing with the revelations. Indictments
have been found Investigations are still
in progress. The authorities, II possible
are going to the root Of the troubles. and
if they reach It. men hitherto Of good

caifber under just conviction for similar
offenses would have discouraged the
prosecution in these later cases The law
none too strong-should be enforced.
Oh1cials-operating at times under
many difficulties-should be encouraged
and upheld. The banker owes a strict
accounting for his actions Usually he
enjoys and deserves much confidence. His
opportunities for good are many. Like
wise his opportunities for evil. His legfti-
mate successes bring him generous re-
wards both In money and respect. and he
