Mr.. Asquith Howled Down

British politics Is seething. For the
first time in its history, the announce
mept runs. the house of commons yester.
dag refused to hear the prime minister.
and the speaker, to put an end to uncon-
trollabIe disorder, was obliged to end the
session.
The scene, to use the old phrase beg
CARED description. The mob spirit tackled
the spirit for debate, and prevailed.
Howls usurped the place of reason A
patrician of the patricians led the one
side, and member of the plain people,
anxious to get at him. was restrained
only by friendly force. That no blood
was shed was little short of miraculous.
A story like this from the French or
the Italian chamber occasions no sur.
prise. The southern temperament is
warm. Politics in those countries be-
comes at times a sort of war. Men not
only lash each other in debate. but go out
later and renew their contentious with
sword or pistol. The tongue, 1t Ia true,
Is their most dangerous weapon. but they
use all three, and thereby add to the
variety and excitement Of political life.
But here In merry England they are
beginning TO rsise this same sort OF
merry hades. II Is the old home OF mod

pride has attached to parliamentary law
and procedure Hitherto they have or
dered such things best in England The
world has been adjured to copy the Eng
lisl form; and that form has had wide
influence We ourselves have reproduced
many of its best features
There is a growing strenuosity in our
own legislative arena. So far neither the
Senate nor the House has ever resolved
itself into q condition where adjournment
was necessary to avoid a riot. few
years ago there was fist fight in the
Senate, and twenty years ago Speaker
Reed was threatened with personal Nio-
lence in the House. But in both instances
order was quickly restored, and business
proceeded In the House the mace still
goes"
Still there is complaint in both houses
of deterioration of good manners. Mem
bers are too free with the rules and with
one another in debate. In the Senate Mr..
Bacon quite recently made some very
pointed remarks on the subject. and
turn to a strict observance of what is
necessary to insure not only full but
polite discussion
Mr.. Asquith's proposition is of pro-
found moment and of nature to stir the
British public to the center. But-and
particularly on that account-he is en-
titled to hearing. mob whether oper-
ating with lungs, or a rope, or torch,
or a gun, settles nothing, but, as a rule,

Lower Rock Creek Park.

Although there is no hope OF con-
current action OF both houses at this
session on the measure, the prompt
passage by the Senate of the Wetmore
bill for the acquisition of the lower
Rock Creek valley by the government
as an addition 10 Rock Creek Park Is
TO be urged by all friends of the
District in Congress. 1t is deplorable
that this move was not made years
ago The lower valley should have
been acquired for park purposes at the
same time with the upper portion.
At the time, however. that the Rock
Creek Park was created there was no
comprehensive park development plan
In view This beautiful valley was
selected as a park site because of its
obvious advantages and attractions in
that regard and not with its relation
to the already existing parks of the
District in view. Yet a slight study of
the situation leads inevitably to the
conclusion that nature designed the
use of the entire valley as public
recreation space, while the later work
of man in the creation of a park out
of the former flats of the Potomac
directly suggests the union of these
two tracts.
Congress has had this question of
the treatment of the lower Rock Creek
valley before it for a long time, but
without any defined policy regarding
the proper mode of procedure There
have been two views with relation to
this space. to develop it as a park. as
now contemplated by the Wetmore
bill, or as an alternative to permit the
ravine to be filled and brought up to
level thus reducing Rock creek to
the low estate of mere sewer along
the lower portion of its course to the
Potomac. Fortunately, there seems
TO be no present inclination toward the
latter mode. and the Wetmore bill.
with its approval by the Senate COM
mttee. may be regarded as pointing
the way to congressional action along
This line of park creation rather than
park destruction.

QUESTION of strip of land between

Rock Creek valley parks will give a
continuous space unapproached for
scenic beauty in any city. The cost
of effecting this result will he slight
compared with the great advantages to
BE- gained. Delay will only add TO the
ultimate burden of expense. 1t would

versation, or occupied with their own

plies Those approached turned him
away with anything or nothing, simply
to get rid Of him. They resented sort
of impertinence.
II was in the campaign OF 1904 that the
straw vote was made to perform real
wonders. Judge Parker's strength in
New York was variously estimated by
his friends and supporters. Some saw
him winning with ease. Others had
their doubts. And so the straw vote was
appea led to.
In Brooklyn one canvasser could find
nobody but Parkerites. The woods were
full of them. and all were enthusiastic.
The democratic candidate was making a
runaway race His majority In New
York state might reach hundred thou
sand: and with such strength at home.
what strength might he not be accredited
with elsewhere?
As Brooklyn is a city Of churches, and
not Of jokers. this canvasser's perform
ance has never been understood. Opin-
ion is still divided as to whether he was
a joker himself, or simply an enthusiast
magnifying matters in dead earnest in
the hope of serving his favorite candi-
date At any rate, as the result showed.
he did not get within gunshot Of the
situation.
1t is not difficult to believe that. as
matters stand today, Mr.. Taft has long
lead for the republican nomination. That
is but to credit his party with good judg-
ment and respect for precedent. To turn
him down would be to confess failure and
invite defeat at the polls. But the demo-
cratic situation is Of another order alto
gether. Men on that side are appearing
and disappearing. Eight months ago
John A. Dix was prominently in the pic
ture. Where is he today? Who may say
what changes the next eight months may
bring about?

Platforms and Candidates.

Mr. Bryan is we'll employed in keeping
the Denver platform before his party. and
in giving notice that next year again 1t
must go on record on all important issues.
He has a word of rebuke and warning
for the man who steers by the old jest
that "a platform is thing to get in on
He holds it to be binding, and that
therefore it should be prepared with great
care.
The Kentucky democrats have just con-
fessed to the necessity of a party de-
liverance in their state campaign. Fear
ing that the machine politicians might
control a convention, as In the case
when William Goebel was nominated for
governor, they ordered a primary cleo
ton for the placing OF a state ticket in
the field and for expressing a preference
for successor to Mr.. Paynter in the
Senate. Only a small vote responded,
and the integrity Of even that is ques-
toned. But there were no formal pro-
tests against the returns, and the action
taken stands.
No sooner was the primary over than
agitation began for platform. For
what would the party battle in the cam
paign? What were its principles? What
did it propose for the public welfare If
intrusted with power? An expression was
imperative because the republicans. who
were to act by state convention, would
make one on their side.
A platform Is to be constructed and
by a state convention. The agency
which was rejected in the nomination of
candidates is to be employed in the
framing Of an appeal to the voters.
Will the machine politicians dominate
this platform convention? They are very
much interested in one question-the
liquor question. Something must be said
about that. The republicans have spoken.
both through their platform and their
nominee for governor. Judge O'Rear is
liquor law, and his party is pledged to
ii through his influence. What say the
democrats?
MIR. ALrCreary in his campaign for the
democratic nomination for governor did
not commit himself on this point, but
steered around it with the skill and vigt-
lance of an old navigator familiar with
dangers and Instructions. He declared
for better roads, better schools better
tax regulations. and all the other things
which make differences among intelli-
gent people impossible. But not a word
escaped him about the liquor trafYic. His
silence on that subject was not only
profound, but suggestive.
Has he policy. And will he bring
it to the cofivention's attention and in
sist upon its adoption. as Judge O'Rear
did on the other side Of the fence? Or
will he leave the matter entirely to the
convention, and accept whatever deliv-
erance for against the liquor traffic
that body may formulate? One thing is
certain: he will not retire from the race
whatever the convention may do
