Just before the king entered the
abbey one OF the guardsman's horses

Punishment for Car Rowdies.

They have a new law i'll New York
which allows magistrates to use their
own discretion in sentencing to the
workhouse the rowdies who sometimes
infest trolley cars.
1t was framed especially to deal with
rowdyism on the street cars, and stwO
men were recently sentenced under it to
three years each in the reformatory
This is a good law. Better still, it is
enforced
There is no greater nuisance in the
world than the rowdy on the trolley car.
Intoxicated. noisy, quarrelsome, dis
turber of the peace, he makes every
passenger in the car uncomfortable and
he deserves to be severely dealt with
We have no law in Washington de-
signed to punish rowdies specifically,
but none the less when they come before
the Police Court they ought to get the
limit which existing statutes will allow.

Dishonest Dressmakers.

There are dressmakers in New York
who are said to be dishonest. 1t is toe
bad
Through a conspiracy with Partisan
manufacturers and by means OF false
invoices they seem to have been able
to import valuable gowns at a reduced
rate of duty The scheme worked beau
tifully until the customs officers dis
covered its operation. Now the un-
feeling minions OF the law have seized
a lot of gowns and have put the Partisan
manufacturers or the black list.
If the story be true. it is no wonder
that the dressmakers in New York have
become immensely rich. They saved
money on the duty. in the first place,
and then they charged enormously for
the gowns when they sold them to
American purchasers There was profit
at both ends of the line
Let us. however, withhold judgment
so far as the dressmakers are concerned.
The feminine instinct does not naturally
run to theft Wicked Parisians without
conscience and a tariff which has no
consideration for a handsome gown
must be to blame
Dressn,akers dishonest: Never!

The Lincoln Memorial.

We give space this morning to the ex-
preston of the Century Magazine re-
garding the location of the Lincoln me-
mortal The utterance is entitled to con-
sideration because the magazine has al
ways occupied a high position as an
exponent OF the ideal. and because its i'll
fiuence in the world of art has been at
tanned through long years of intelligent
devotion to artistic matters. Its view is
that the opinion Of the eminent artists,
sculptors, and architects who have given
careful study to the subject of the To-
cation of the memorial should be re-
sPected This Judgment is that the trib-
ute should be erected on the plane of
the axis of the Capitol and Monument.
west of the latter. and on the banks of
the Potomac The late John Hays
choice was for this location. believing
that the memorial would be all the more
impressive if it stood serenely alone
Two facts are emphasized by this dis
cussIon OF the subject. The first is that
the national character of the memorial
is, fully appreciated and that the entire
country is practically asked to give con-
sideration TO the question of site The
second is that the erection of the memo
rial will add immeasurably to the glory
OF the National Capital. The people of
Washington. knowing that whatever is
done will be done rightly, both as to
the character of the memorial and its
site. feel : natural sense of pleasure in
the fact that in this city is to be erected

and enduring name

A FESTIVAL OF EMPIRE IN LONDON

world will be erected in the center OF the
Crystal Palace terrace, namely, a statue
of the King, sixty feet high, dominating,
as ii were, his majesty's empire in min
iature."
London will be the holiday city of the
the world this year, and II is safe to
affirm that millions of visitors will find
their way to the Crystal Palace to wit
ness the wonders of this great festival
of empire.
The flower of the season is not, after
all. to be either the rose or the sweet
pea. but the pink carnation. the Queen
having decided that the bouquet which
the Gardeners Company will present at
her coronation shall consist of the last
named flowers.
The selection will be popular both with
horticulturists and the public. for pink
has been the fashionable carnation hue
for many years past. All carnations. in
deed, descend from the ancient pink" {"
native of Southern Europe. which the
Romans are said TO have grown. It was a
favorite in the sixteenth century gardens,
but the pink held in the fingers of a
Flemish citizen. in one of the most famous
portraits by Van Dyke. shows that IL was
even then no newly discovered bloom.
All the old northern painters loved
the pink, as witness the old cut pinks
painted in tall Venice glass by Hol-
beip in one of his masterpieces. France
cultivated the pink at least one hundred
and fifty years ago. but its advent in
England dates as recently as 1856. the
year of the Crimean peace, when the
carnatton tree first was brought across
the channel. Such Is the history of the
divine flower" as II is called. before II
reached its present twentieth century
perfection.
The Gardeners Company. which is to
make this interesting presentation. Is a
very old city guild. 1t was Incorporated
In the city in 1905. though free garden
ers had previously existed for some CEN
turtles, and as far back as 1916 were al
lotted market places in London
Although possessed of limited funds.
the Gardeners Company has done much
by awarding scholarships to promote 1.-The
trade. craft, or mystery of gardening"
Recently the company obtained the curl
Gus privilege of presenting annually to-
the lord mayor of London "a basket con-
tanning specimens of flowers, vegetables.
and herbs grown in the six-mile radius"
