Maryland.

In politics there is something i'm a name
Mr.. Germans success in Maryland last
week is proof. Not without ability, and
to be praised for his interest in public
affairs, he yet owes his early prom-
nence to the fact that he is his fathers son.
He has gathered fruits from his fathers
paintings. Many men worked for him in
his contest with Mr.. Lee for remember
ing the days of the elder Germans SUI
premacy, and for believing that under
the son the good old times would come
back again. Like father. like SON.
The elder Germans power was conferred
in Baltimore. He played the city against
the state. and long continued to control
the state. In a pinch. he always turned
to the Raisin machine. which he con
trolied. and but seldom in vain. BY one
means or another democratic votes were
piled high in Ba fillmore, and success Sc
cured. Outside of New York city there
was no local machine in the country
quite smooth and effective as the Cor
man-Rasin machine of the Maryland
metropolis.
The younger Germans strength appears
in the same quarter. He easily distanced
his opponent in Baltimore last week, and
poled large vote. Mr.. Raisin is dead
but his successor plays to the German

Things Left Undone.

The adjournment of Congress without
acting upon the question of site for the
Lincoln memorial leaves that project In
a state of suspension for perhaps another
year. 1t is. indeed. as we'll that the
matter went over to the next session. for
when the fine arts commission and the
monument commission had reached their
decisions, the former advisory and the
latter definitive, there was no time left
for a careful consideration by the House
and Senate of the relative merits of the
various plans advocated. This is not a
question to be rushed through after the
fashion of a conference report in the last
hours Of Congress. The Lincoln me-
mortal will stand for all time as part of
the permanent equipment OF the capital
and it's character and its location should
be even more carefully considered than
the designing and emplacement of a
large public building.
AT the same time it is to be regretted
at the extra session through the submits
sion of the issue to Congress in good
season The commission method Of
handling a matter Of this sort is some
what cumbersome. particularly when the
can i'll spare the time from their regular
duties for such questions. The Lincoln
monument commission, having referred
the question of a site to the fine arts
commission, was compelled to wait on
that body for a report, which was not
received until the middle of the summer.
Perhaps if it had considered the ques-
ton itself 1t would have reached the con-
clus;on in time for Congress to act be-
fore adjournment without unduly rush
ing the matter.
The adjournment of Congress left I'M
settled still another question of i'm
portance in the same direction, the en-
placement of one Of the three buildings
originally intended for location upon the
five-square site at the western end of the
Mall-Avenue triangle. The commission in
charge of this building project recon-
mended that one Of these structures be
located upon the Mall in line with the
National Museum building further east
ward. Against this encroachment upon
the park space and departure from the
supposedly adopted plan of setting all
future public buildings within the great
triangle there was decided protest.
Fortunately it was necessary to obtain
additional legislation, inasmuch as Con-
gress has specifically directed the three
buildings to be grouped within the five
square site for the purchase of which it
had made an appropriation. At the next
session this question will recur, and 1t is
to be hoped that it will be settled prop
erly. without the diminution OF the park
space and without a departure from a
consistent building emplacement plan,
which will give the capital the benefit of
artistic grouping without congestion

Of years. Father Flynn died at the
seminary on Friday afternoon of last

death was not unexpected.
Monsignor Flynn was born in

religious life. His early education
was received at st. Johns parochial
school. Later he entered the
Xaverian Brotherhood and for a
number Of years taught at the old
st. Xavier's Institute as Brother
Dennis. Many of the leading busi-
ness men in Louisville were instruct
ed by him. He left the Brothers to
study for the priesthood and was
ordained in 1888. His first charge
was at st. Mary's church, Whining
ton, Del, where he was assistant
priest. Later he was made pastor of
st. Patrick's church, Wilmington.
In 1889 he was made a member
of the faculty of Mount st. Mary's
College and later was made it's Pres
ldent. Last October he was raised
to the dignity of Monsignor by Pope
Plus X. at the request of Cardinal
Gibbons.
The funeral took place on Tues
day, when Cardinal Gibbons cele-
brated mass in the seminary chapel.
Father Flynn visited Louisville
upon numerous occasions since his

In all the churches Sunday prayers
for the repose of his soul followed
