Save the Children's Park.

The public-spirited men who are making
efforts TO save the tree-grown grounds at
lith street and Columbia road from being
sold To be built on. and to preserve this
natural park tract for all the people OF
the city and fon those that are to come.
deserve to be supported They are
prompted by motives which must receive
the appreciation of all citizens who
have given any thought. to the sub
ject.
The tract is one of tho most htIy
situated for playground park. The
city has built up and is building up
closely around this oak shaded open
piece of land. 1t occupies the highest
site in the section. The trees that
grow there are big and venerable. They
were growing there before the city of
Washington was planned. The place
has been IN use as recreation grounds
and in fair weather an average Of
eight hundred children daily frolic
there. Mount Pleasant SO recently a
suburban village. has been built up
SO quickly that the park idea has been
somewhat overlooked except by per-
sons who try to see a little way into
the future. The Mount Pleasant Sec

capital. and they are becoming larger
and more populous than the original
Washington. will develop without parks
and out of harmony with the general
capital plan Of the city's founders.
There is no opposition to the rescue
Of this particular Mount Pleasant tract
from being built over. Everybody In
that section favors its preservation
Influential men In the Senate and
House approve. There Is in course OF
formation a syndicate of public-spirited
men who aim to buy this tract, or al
least to hold 1t under option for as
long "a term as possible. with the hope
that ultimately 1t will be taken by the
government for the public good. There
is no thought and no possibility Of any
profit excepting that which would come
To the whole city from the possession
of IL beautiful park and playground fol

RECIPROCITY.

President Taft is convinced that. the
farmers would favor reciprocity If they

doesn't propose to take vacation until
they do.

The eagerness of the United States Sen

the DAYS spent in futile efforts to elect

It may be a mere coincidence. but the
opposition to reciprocity in our immediate

fined to those who put in the rest OF their
time knocking the home team.

The farmer who thinks that he will be
injured by Canadian reciprocity should

An Optimist at Seventy-Eight.

Mr. Justice Harlan. visiting in Albany
on his way to his summer home in Can
ada, received some very gratifying public
attention. He was invited to address
both houses Of the legislature. and did
so. His tone was thoroughly optimistic.
He congratulated the people of New
York upon the part they had played in
the affairs Of the country, and expressed
the opinion that the country was on the
up grade. He had faith In the people,
and did not doubt their ability to solve
all the problems that might be presented
to them.
These sentiments come in time to 81
lence certain current comment on the
views Judge Harlan expressed In the
cases of the Standard Oil Company and
the tobacco trust In several quarters he
has been classed as pessimist almost In
despair as to the future Hence his diff
ferences with his associates on the Su-
preme bench. Hence his refusal to d.
vide trusts into two classes and his In
sistence that all trusts are tagged as bad
by the Sherman act.
OF course Judge Harlan Is not In de-
spair. either as to the immediate or the
remote future. He has not only been
student of our institutions, but an inter-
prefer of them from the highest judicial
bench under the government For pc
riod approaching thirty-fve years he has
worn the black silk gown in this town,
and observed things both judicial and
legislative.
Before ascending to the bench he had
been for a long time prominent parti-
cipator in political affairs. Had he lived
in a state of close party divisions he
might have run great political career.
Instead of the courtroom, the Senate
chamber might have been the scene OF
his labors Or even the White House IT
self might have received him. He was
an orator of power, and q man of much
personal popularity, and had he been the
favorite son of a debatable state-of New
York or Indiana in the late seventies or
early eighties-he would have stood an
excellent chance for his party's supreme
honor.
And before becoming an influential poll
tician. Judge Harlan was a capable SOL
dier. He served in the war for the
Union, and in a section where, because of
local divisions-blood brothers often op-
posing each other In battle-service was
particularly trying.
Why, then, should a man who, at the
beginning of his career. saw as soldier
his country come safely through four
years of the fercest civil war. as polit-
ical leader saw important issue after is
sue settled at the ballot box, and as
judge has seen at close range many great
issues thrashed out in Congress, and the
court of which he is member grow In
usefulness and public respect all the
time-why should he despair in the face
of anything that confronts the American
people today?
So far from despairing. he is confident
in the highest degree. At seventy-eight
he has as much faith as when he was
young man, and views the struggle with
composure. If he were thirty-eight or
forty-eight he might figure in calculations
outside of the judicial field Some OF his
recent deliverances have brought him
muC h praise

Banishing the Billboard.

While the billboard and the poster are
being brought under control in many cit
les there are some which seem to fear
that they are coming under control of
the billboard. The billboard Is not so
much of a nuisance as 1t once was, but
it is still a nuisance. The character OF
the advertising matter has been elevated
somewhat. especially in the drawing. col
oring and the lettering, but as an aid to
civic beauty or to natural scenery the
billboard Is a failure. 1t Is believed that

city's growth lies in its building records.
In 1905 the building permits aggregated
$9A. .so4; in 1907 they were $l.2lO. ESQ; in
1908 they had reached 81 ,402.174 in 1909
the total showed $780,, ,254; in 1910 the
aggregate was over 81 200 ,OOO and 1911
will beat the increase Of 1910 over 1909.
The record Of bank deposits Is equally re-
markable. AS the Clearing House Asso-
citation has been in existence only three
years, there Is no record Of clearings
prior to that date. The present clearings
are over $59o3,O0O per month. December
l. 1904, there were six banks in Sacra-
mento, with deposits Of q little over $11,-
OO.OOO. There are now nine banks. with
deposits of something like SIS. .OoO,OOO
Anotner important factor in the awak-
ening OF Sacramento was the coming Of
namely. the Western Pacific The advent
OF this system was hailed with great re-
1oicing for the reason that II gave them
competition in transportation. The serv-
Ice provided by the Southern Pacific was
the best that a single railroad system
could provide Under the conditions. but
the business had grown beyond the ca
pacity Of single system, and there was
need OF new line. So anxious were the
citizens to secure this second transconti-
mental system that they presented it with
a right of way through the heart of it's
residential section. There is hope that
within the next two or three years two
additional transcontinental lines will tap
the CITY,.
James J. Hill is extending his new Ore
gon line down the Deschutes river to
San Francisco by way of Sacramento,
and the management of the Santa Fe is
looking with longing at the traction line
now connecting Sacramento with Stock
ton.
''These are big things to happen to
formerly sleepy capital city within the
space Of two years, and were sufficient
to arouse it from its Rip Van Wrinkle
slumber. Sacramento, however is rising
nobly to the task before 1t, which Is the
task of preparing to be the distributing
center for an agricultural empire. One
link in the chain of preparation was an
appropriation by Sacramento county of
$S25,OOO for the building of good roads.
One result of this Is shown by the fact
that In the county are now 1O4 miles OF
macadam roads which cannot be equaled
anywhere else in this or any other coun-
try. They cost the county an average Of
about $500 per mile, and would have
cost great deal more had it not been
for the material aid given by the South
ern Pacific. They radiate from Sacra-
mento and furnish several of the finest
automobile trips to be had anywhere in
the state. Within a few months another
macadam road Of forty miles will have
been completed. when it will be possible
