NIX. KOENIPS ELECTION

The election of Mr.. Samuel :. NoenlS
ms president Of the Republican County
Committee is victory for the progress
sive element which has been in control
OF the Republican organization here for
several years. II will give satisfaction
20 all those who have applauded the
efforts of Mr.. Herbert Parsons and his
successor. Mr.. Lloyd c. GriscOm, TO
raise the character of the local organ
5zation and cut it free from relations
with 1ammany Hall. Mr.. Koenig has
throughout been a supporter and useful
aid of Mr. Parsons. lie stood with
the progressive element when II won its
victory at the Saratoga convention. He
has been an unusually successful dis
frict leader and is well qualified by his
experience for the post 10 which he has
been chosen. His popularity is al
rested 10y the large vote lie received
last fall as Il candidate for Secretary
Of State, when, in spite of the over
whelming Democratic victory, he was
defeated by only Il small plurality.
The success OF Mr. Koenig and his
organization for the progressive ele-
ment is a subject for eongratulation in
view of the reaction that has taken
place in the state. With the tide
against them elsewhere they had more
than usually difficult contest on their
hands. but particularly in view Of the
efforts Of the "old guard 10 split the
progressive element by naming as its
candidate man who had all along been
regarded as a progressive. The appear

with the element against which he has
been "insurging" i'm the Senate was one
OF the surprises OF the contest. IT was
Senator NewcOmb who told the Repub-
licans Of his district In a speech a day
Or two after election that the party was
defeated for The reason that two hun

"their own party because its leaders in

THE LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT

Mr. Samuel Parsons, the landscape
architect of the Park Department, has
had the hearing on which The Tribune
insisted, and upon the findings OF the
Commissioner of Accounts, unless Mr..
Parsons Is able successfully to combat
them, the Park Board will be justified In
dismissing him. Corruption is not al
leged, but such an alliance as that as
serted 10 exist between the landscape
architect and men who sold soil TO the
Park Department is improper, and In
spite Of his long service and the public
confidence which he has enjoyed Mr.. Par
sonss usefulness in his office Is gravely
impaired unless he can nullify the ac-
cuSatiOn.
Park Commissioner Slower may prove
to the public that he did not take action
against Mr. Parsons solely 10 get rid of
an obstacle TO his innovations by secur-
ing in his place, II he has to go, the
ablest and most eminent landscape archf-
tect available man whose professional
standing and personal character are n
guarantee that he will be no mere figure
head, but such q protector Of the parks
as the charter meant 10 secure when It
gave to the landscape architect authority
TO veto the plans Of commissioners.

FOR An APRIL INAUGURATION.

Washington dispatches report that an
amendment TO the Constitution changing
the date of the Presidential Inauguration
and of the beginning Of the terms of
Senator's and Representatives In Con-
gress will be submitted to the state legis-
latures before the extra session ends. 1t
IS said that Representative Henry, of
Texas, whose resolution proposing SINH
lar amendment was defeated in the
House Of Representatives in 1910 by a
single Vote, has secured assurances OF
support from two-thirds of the members
OF both houses and that he will soon
ask the lower branch to act on new
resolution which he has prepared Mr..
Henry is now chairman of the Committee
on Rules and will undoubtedly be able
to secure prompt consideration Of his
measure.
The Tribune has heartily favored
remedying the defects of our political
calendar 1t regrets that inaugurations
have had to take place Oh March 4, a
most unreasonable date for ceremony
in connection with which certain
amount Of outdoor display is appropriate
and has become customary. The install
latiOn Of a President is the one great &C.
casion on our political calendar lend
ing itself to show and ceremonial. 1t
! would be more agreeable all around to
| have the display attendant upon an in
aUguration occur at time Of the year
when the capital is at its best, the beauty
| of the city and the mildness of its spring
airs adding TO the attractiveness of the
/ spectacle, instead Of at season which
SO often subjects those who participate
| in or witness the function TO the rlgors
ana dangers Of weather bureau flare
backs which are likely to cover Wash

( But there is more substantial reason
/ for pushing the inauguration date for
| ward from March TO the last Thursday
! in April. The short session of Congress
| now ends by limitation OH March H. and
/ experience has shown that the business
% that session cannot be properly trans
acted in the brief time allotted to it. At
the session Of 19l0-'11 the machinery Of
legislation broke down completely, and
for the last three weeks of the Congress
the Senate was at the mercy of hand
/ ful Of fiibusters. Conditions are certain
10 become worse as the volume of bust
ness Increases, and the short session Will
| have 10 be extended If 1t is to escape
classification as practically useless ap
( pendiX 10 The long session. An addition
of eight weeks would probably suffice to
make 1t genuine working session and
enable each Congress to finish its ap-
propriate tasks instead of dropping them
