Welcome, the Daughters!

once again the Daughters Of the Amer
Jean Revolution gather in the city of
Washington, the official home of this i'm
pressive organization of patriotic wom-
en-. Their work is important They
are eveW day teaching the lesson of pa
triotism and inspiring the men Of today
by holding up as models the patriots Of
the past. They aim to keep the revolu-
tionary period. with it's sacrifices, its
heroism, its victories and its defeats,
fresh in the memory of Americans. They
would keep that heroic age from becom-
ing SO remote that its example would
have little effect on latter-day men and
women. They would preserve IT as
q living age, in which the partici-
pants were men and not mere statues.
They would persuade men to think
OF the past that they might the bet
ter approach the problems Of the pres
ant. They would save the names of
thousands of true and humble patriots
from being lost in the glare that history
spreads around the names of a few IL
1ustrious men. They have marked thou
sands OF place. associated with the early
history OF this nation, and in this alone
have done the country great good. The
landmarks Of the revolution should not
be obnterated and forgotten.
These ladies have their internal poll
dcs, but there Is nothing extraordinary
In this fact. They are the mothers, sis
tiers and wives Of men. and 1t would be
extraordinary II they did not have some
politics. The zeal Of these ladies in the
matter OF the choice Of officers and the
determination OF policies argues we'll for
the healthfulness. spirit and vigor Of the
society. Zealousness Is more productive
Of good accomplishment than Is indiffer-
ence. Indifference Is a symptom OF dry
rot. q disease as fatal to women as to
men.
Washington. named for the grand
figure OF the revolutionary and early re-
publican eras, welcomes the d. A. r.
and wishes them well In all things.

Piney Branch.

One Of the picturesque features of the
north part of the District will pass away
II Piney branch is converted into a
sewer. II this be necessary there will
be many friends Of this pretty stream
who will mourn its taking of. If the
sewer department could find way to
obviate the obliteration Of Piney branch
it would no doubt do SO. but cities will
grow. sewers are necessary and the coun-
try Is forced farther and farther back
Piney branch rises near Takoma, trickles
southwark till east of Brightwood, where
1t bends to the southwest. East of 14th
street 1t comes down a narrow valley,
the south and east banks of which are
grown with oak with an underground of
mountain laurel At the 14th street
fill begins a big cement tunnel destined
to become a sewer. The valley is mar
row and steep from the 14th street fill
to the 10th street bridge. Westward of
10th street Piney branch, reinforced by
several brooks that fall into it from the
north, runs through one OF the prettiest
wales in the District. There is small
timber interviewer with brambles and
vines, and along the north bank dilap-
idated rail fence adds its rustic charm to
the picture. A little farther on the
stream enters a deep glen. and here 1t
begins to sing and gurgle over rocks on
its way to Rock creek.
The Mount Pleasant Citizens Associa-
ton is deeply interested in the preserva-
ton Of this stream and the natural
beauty along its course, and 1t would be
an achievement If some compromise be-
tween the sewer department and Piney
branch could be reached.

Mr.. Taft and denomination

Now and then a report is spread that
the Presidents opponents in his own party
are lining up Now one man is men
| toned for leader, and now another. Now
| the activity is In one section Of the coun-
try, and now in another. Now the report
is of a hopeful nature, and now not so
hopeful.
Much Of this talk is for sounding pur
poses. Its authors take note OF the talk
it produces. They are not SO much giving
light as seeking it. They know far less
about the lining up against the President
If there is any-than the lining up for
him. 1t is the latter question they are
most concerned about. They are curious
about the Presidents. strength. where it
is greatest, upon what principally founded.
and what his friends are doing to foster
and increase it..
Let speculation thrive. There is moth
ing better. If so good, at this stage Of the
game. 1t is true we are more than a year
away from nomination day, and much
may happen before then. This session OF
Congress may make the country ring
with politics. and cause shifts on both
sides of the line. II not this. then the
next session may produce such a result.
Counting chicks with the eggs in their
present condition may not prove more
than mere entertainment. But as the
public Graves entertainment, the presi-
Dental race should yield its share.
The Presidents friends seem to be keep
ing their own counsel. II alarmed they
do not show it. II they are hot on the
chase for delegates 1t is not apparent. II
waiting for orders, they are not proclaim
ing the fact. When they discuss the sub
ject 1t is In a tone OF confidence. They
seem to be convinced that the President
will be renominated, and are preparing
for the strenuous campaign they concede
will be necessary for his reelection.
AS for the President himself. he is
showing no concern about anything but
the questions of the hour. Evidently he
Is disposed to let next year take care Of
itself. Whether he is to be President for
a second term Is for the future to decide.
But that he is now President is fact be-
yond doubt, and he is meeting in a way
| that seems best to him the obligations
that rest upon him.
This is wisdom, and probably the best
politics. The President will be judged on
his record. both as respects denomination,
and. II renominated, reelection. What
better could he do, therefore, than make
the record as strong as possible from his
point Of view? He could not hope to
make port on such a craft as the Wabble,
! even If he had the taste for such a COM
| mand.
