An Easter Prayer.

~ HOU who didst roam by Galilee
Art risen that all men may see

Forgive. We pray, and spare the rod.
And lift US upward from the sod.
Whereof by storms OF error cast,
PROSTATE we MOURN FOR SORROWS past.
oh, lift us up and hold US fast.
We a not know, We cannot sec
The anguish borne for us by Thee.
But help us know that we are free.
Roll from each heart Its stone away
That presses heavily to-day,

equipment for alarm boxes had been sent to the Capitol fifteen years
ago, but that it had been very carefully stored in an out Of the way
place and forgotten. That beats the Albany record.
\ list of the various Congressional committees Of inquiry, Of IN
vestigation, of examination, of supervision, Of reform, of economy,
service, sanitation and general review and regulation, appointed
during that time, if properly made out with names of members and
a statement Of objects and powers, would fill a large book. But never
once was any interest shown in the question of protection from fire.
This is the more strange because the viglantes Of the House and
OF the Senate have been noted for the minuteness Of their researches
and Of their discoveries. What quantities of information, what quail
tiles of eoquence, have been given immortality in the Congressional
Record on the subject OF bath tubs, penknives, flowers, gloves and
lemonade-yet not a word said about fire or fire alarms for fifteen
years! An opportunity was lost by this strange neglect, but it may
come again.

ping of the North German Lloyd during his twenty-six years of ser
vice with it.
In 1880 the registered tonnage Of the line was SO, 4s4 tons. In
1907 it had grown to more than $4,000. From 1880 to 1890 the ships
Of the company carried in round numbers s5l 900 passengers. Since
that time they have carried over seven million passengers.
This is but a sample of the growth of a single company measured
By the service of a single life. 1t goes far, however, to ilumne the
whole pathway of recent progress. Civilization has changed more
rapidly than the passing of life. But the light of this record casts
no beam upon the future. No man can foretell the steamship devel-
opmcnt of the coming years any more than he can fix limitations to
the dirigibe and the aeropane.

The new departure is thus advocated with a double hope. The
hrst will doubtless be realized. The second is apt TO be a dissolving
view.
When the new rule is put into effect Senatorial contests will be
shifted from Legislators acting under the responsibilities OF oath
and office either TO irresponsible delegates in nominating conven-
ions, or else to the even less responsible voters of the primaries.
And the big interests will have a quiet but none the lees persuasive
cay so in either the convention or the primary.
There is but one sure way for people to control their polhics-
that is for them 10 attend to public affairs with the same zeal they
attend to private business. Those who believe the Indifferent honest
are going to defeat permanently the schemes Of demagogy and pu-
tocracy by a simple change in the forms and methods of voting are
going to find themselves soon clamoring for new changes Or a return

SURVEYOR URGES
THE PURCHASE OF
NEW PARK LANDS
Recommends Acquisition Of
Fort Davis And Fort
Dupont.

Recommendations for the acquisition
of Fort Davis and Fort Dupont fol
park purposes are contained in the
annual report submitted to the Com
missioners today. The purchase of this
property, together with the Kringle
Ford Valley in the northwest, and
Mount Hamilton in the northeast, will
add greatly to the Identification Of the
park system In these sections. All OF
the projects, 1t is understood, are
ffavorably regarded by the Commits
sioners, and, If possible, will be included
in the estimates for the next fiscal year.
Fort Davis and Fort Dupont were
established for the protection of WASH
ington during the civil war. Fort
Davis lies at the intersection of Penn
sylvania avenue and Bowen road, and
Fort Dupont at the intersection of the
Bowen and Ridge roads, southeast. 1t
Is planned to connect the properties by
a boulevard 150 feet wide. The total
reservation would amount to about Al
acres.
Bills are being prepared in the office
Of the surveyor for the condemnation Of
roads in the Barry subdivision, located
between Anacostia and the grounds Of
the Government Hospital for the In
sane. These roads are now owned by
abutting property owners, and the Dis
trfct therefore, has declined to i'm
prove them by sewer or water.
Recommendation is made that Spring
road be condemned from Georgia
avenue to Rock Creek Park, and laid
out in accordance with the highway
plan. There is no part of the District
developing more rapidly than this sec
ton, and the street, 1t is said, should
be acquired before improvements are
constructH within its lines. 1t is
recommended that Fifth street be con-
demned from Mcmillan Park to Park
road.
The extension of the highway from
Monroe street to the District line, on
the east side of the Anacostia river,
and from the northeast boundary of
west side of the river also is recon-
mended.
