light Of joy shines in his eyes and
happy smiles wreath his face as he
homeward wends his way bearing
rake. hoe, spade. package Of seed,
sprinklers and a reel Of garden hose!
Perhaps he will come to Office tomor-
row with a sun-burned neck, aching
back and blistered hands. but what
matter trifies such as these? Is he
not back to the land? Is not the little
garden patch Of more Importance to
him than a one-hundred- acre farm?
Cannot he talk as wisely of intensive
farming, plant value of fertilizers. crop
rotation, proper phases Of the moon In
which to sow. etc. as the best of them?
Does he not know as much about these
things as some farmers who till broad
acres just to pay the interest on the
mortgage? Sometimes he does.

No Foolproof Gun.

Pulls Trigger in Fun, Shoots Brother
Dead was headline over a telegram
in The Star day or two ago. A sister
trifling with an "unloaded' revolver play
fully pointed the weapon, squeezed the
trigger and killed her brother. 1t was
an old story. Few editions Of news
paper come from the press without an
account of some tragedy due either to
the ''unloaded' pistol or to the 'toted'
pistol.
One is often inclined to think that an
undue proportion of American citizens
are rash or lawless. They take reckless
liberties with weapons and carry them
about when there is no need of them
and when it Is against the law.
The pistol-toting practice will probably
finally be suppressed. but the playing
with firearms by careless persons pre-
sents a problem difficult Of correction.
No gun that will fire a cartridge can be
made foolproof.

Suburban Grade Crossings.

AS a result of inquiry by Captain Mark
Brooke, assistant engineer commissioner
of the District OF Columbia, and by the
superintendent OF county reads, which in
Quiry was based on representations of
the Northeastern Suburban Citizens As
ISOLATION, efforts will be made to install
a system OF warning signals at certain
important grade crossings Of the Wash
ington. Baltimore and Annapolis railway
and Of the Chesapeake Beach railway in
the District. Investigation proves, Capt.
Brooke has reported that there is no reg
nlation requiring electric lines to install
signals at crossings. but the frequency
Of the service and the high speed Of the
cars give rise to dangerous conditions.
and 1t Is believed. therefore, that the
commissioners are justified in requesting
the installation Of safety devices at these
points.
The Chesapeake Beach line is still a
steam road. but there is frequent talk
of electrifying it. Part of its line runs
through the eastern end of the District
as does the Annapolis electric line. and
the section east of Benning is RAPIDLY
taking on population. 1t is plausible that
many railroad crossings in that neighbor
hood are dangerous, and any protection
that can be given by danger signals al
such crossings as 5Oth. sd, 9th. 18Th ant
6lst streets should be promptly installed
The railroads named have done impor-
tant service in encouraging settlement,
and generally aiding the upbuilding OF
that neighborhood, and there can be No
doubt that they will do their duty in civ
Ing all possible protection at those busy
grade crossings.

Odd Fellows Celebration.

The Odd Fellows approach the cen
tenary of the foundation of their order in
the United States. Older in Europe than
in the new world, the order has become
venerable here. Though it has grown old
its vigor has grown with its years. and
even though 1t nears its hundredth
birthday it continues young and ener-
getie. Dry rot has not attacked 1t and
1t performs its good works as enthusi-
astically as in the times of its youth.
The Odd Fellows are celebrating the
ninety-second anniversary of the founda-
ton of the order in this country. The
first lodge was instituted in Baltimore,
and few years later the District of
Columbia. never tagging behind in works
that help humanity and make men bet
ter. had the honor in 1897 of becoming
the home of Central Lodge, No. 1.
The celebration in progress il an event
of deep interest to large part of Wash
ington's people, and most of those who
are not Odd Fellows wish the order we'll.
There is occasion for just feeling OF
pride I'm membership in a society that
was one of the pioneers in fraternalism.

Good Luck to the Gardener!

The true and loyal suburbanite is
busy with his garden. May his seeds
sprout and may the flea beetles, striped
beetles. black beetles and cut worms
spare the tender plants! And may the
artichokes. the broccoli, the Swiss
chard, the endive, the okra and plain
beets and beans. carrots and cabbage,
peas, pumpkins and tomatoes develop
till they bear resemblance to the oft
times illusory pictures and promises In
the seed catalogue! May the gardener
sleep blissfully and have rosy dreams.
and may he not have to spend too
much money for Bordeaux mixture,
arsenate Of lead. paris green hellebore
and kerosene emulsion!
The suburban gardener. especially in
early spring. is full Of hope. expecta-
ton and enthusiasm. May the soil be
kind to him, may perdition catch the
bugs and may heaven save him from
the neighbors' chickens! See how the

In the second place, In speaking Of
Mr.. Martin Mr.. Bryan employs the Ian
guage Of extssvagance. The Virginia
senator does aot deserve the characteri-
zation Mr.. 6ryan applies to him. He
and his colleague, the late Mr. Daniel.
took about the same view of the tariff
question when the Payne revision was
shaping: and nobody ever described Mr..
Daniel as reactionary. or a tool Of
the interests. They voted together for
the welfare of Virginia, as they under
stood it. And, for that matter, other
democratic senators were at the same
time looking out for their people. regard
less of what the Denver platform may or
may not have promised.
And Mr.. Bryan overlooks another i'm
portant point. The contest for leader
ship was between Mr.. Martin and Mr..
Shively. How did it come about that Mr..
Bryan took the side of the Indianian?
Was he not aware of what Mr.. Kern
had publicly charged about Mr.. Shively's
election to the Senate? The charge was
that the brewers and distillers of In
diana had thrown their full strength to
Mr.. Shively as against him, Mr.. Kern,
and thereby decided the senatorial con-
test between them. stir was created
by the charge that shook the Hoosier
state to the center, and threatened for
a time to- take the form of a legislative
investigation.
Now, 1t is conceded that Mr. Shively
Is an able man, with qualities of lead
ership and personal character of the
highest. But suppose he had been chosen
leader OF the Senate minority, and Mr..
kern's charge revived, as it would have
been. Suppose. for partisan purposes,
Mr.. Shively's success had been interpreted
to the country as proof that the
brewers and distillers had scored in the
Senate, as, according to Mr. Kern. they
scored in the Indiana legislature two
years ago. How would Mr. Bryan have
met that, with his record in Nebraska
governor because Of the activity of the
brewers and distillers in bringing about
the nomination, and his ringing declara-
ton that those interests must he driven
out of politics?
Mr.. Bryan-apparently without know
ing twas lucky in the selection of Mr.
Martin, who may differ with him about
certain tariff fixtures, but is accounted a
good democrat both at home and here,
and should prove equal to the task that
good democrats have assigned to him.

Mr.. Hearst and Tammany.

The New York American expresses the
opinion that '"Tammany Hall grows

is not this a mistaken Judgment? Tam

ent in offices. II lost heavily in the city
campaign OF 1909. but il recouped some

Some excellent patronage was secured
then. and from that the organization will
profit
1t failed to land Mr.. Sheehan in the
senatorship, but it secured Mr. OGor-
man. a former sachem. And that is
much. Mr.. OGorman during his service
on the bench was not, of course po-
litical quantity, but now that he has re-
entered politics there is every reason for
expecting to see him again an influence
in Tammany. And why should he not be
power in and for the organization?
AS his election to the Senate showed, he
has great personal popularity; and that,
added to the prestige of his new office,
should count for a great deal in any
political cause in New York he may
espouse.
The American also says: 1.-The differ
ence between Boss Croker and Boss Muir
ply is the difference between a buffalo
bull and a billy goat
Is not this also a mistaken appraise-
ment? When did Mr.. Croker ever cut
the figure Mr.. Murphy has recently been
cutting? When did Mr.. Croker sit in
hotel room and dictate whole state
ticket, and afterward elect it? When
did he offer candidate for the United
States Senate. and hold a legislature in
deadlock for two months in an effort to
elect him? And when did he land a
former Tammany sachem in the most au-
gust legislative assembly in the world, as
senators consider the Senate:
Mr.. Croker has been prominent at DEM
ocratic national conventions, but so has
Mr.. Murphy. and So will Mr. Murphy
be again next year. He is counting on
playing a part in choosing the democ-
racy's next standard bearer: and we
shall see both the Harmon men and the
Wilson men making eyes at him in a
short time. Mr.. Bryan could work very
well with him-indeed, has done so sew
eral times. On his way home from Den
yer three years ago. Mr.. Murphy stopped
ut Lincoln and congratulated the nomi-
nee.
No. Tammany Is not in decline, nor Is
Mr.. Murphy in eclipse. Both are doing
very well. The organization-full Of old
sports-leads a gamblers existence. Now
1t Is flush, and living high. Now it is
strapped. and hungry. But, flush or
strapped, 1t Is always ready for game.
Wait and see how Tammany will show
up next year; how 1t will pledge itself
to the nominee, whether 1t has helped Sc
lect him or not; how it works for him
in the campaign and at the polls after
Its well known fashion. And wait and
see what strange bedfellows next years
politics may make. For at present it
seems not unlikely that Francis Lynde

Public School Penmanship.

A member Of the North Capitol and
lexington Citizens Association has criti-
cised the penmanship of the pupils of the
public schools Of the District Of Column
bia. The critic said that examination
papers coming from pupils Of the schools
here examined for the government serv-
ice are "bunglesome In the extreme"
1t Is desirable to write q clear and leg
ible hand. Young people ought. if pos
sible, to cultivate 1t. II the public school
pupils write any worse hands than their
elders as rule do, they ought, indeed, to
be censured. But do they? The aver
age man is not a penman. II he learned

not in such demand as formerly. Men no
longer boast of their handwriting. To tell
man that he writes illegibly is not now
SO much Of a rebuke; it partakes rather
Of the nature Of a compliment. The pas

ton, the popularity Of speed. have work.
ed against a mans handwriting. In fact,
most men are expected to use a type
writer in their personal or business cor
respondence. and many men dictate their
letters. The latter plan is thought to
give an air Of greater prosperity and Of
time more occupied than a hand-written
letter.
Nearly everybody applying for cleri-
cal position is expected to be able to
operate the typewriter, and penmanship is
an accomplishment of declining i'm
portance. Men do not now write verses
in autograph albums and sign their names
with lavish fourishes; that Is, generally
they do not. Still, it ought to be as easy
to learn to write legible hand as to
write scrawling, irregular, nOn-readable
hand that SO many persons nowadays in
flict on others. II the boys and girls
have not learned to write an easily read
