TO PUSH PROPOSAL
FOR PARK SYSTEM
ON M'M|LLAN PLAN
Trade Board Committee
Plans to Raise 81, 900
Fund.

The special sommIttee appointed from
the Board Of Trade to push the develop
ment OF Washington according to the
plans of the Mcmillan Park Commits
sion. met in the Board OF Trade rooms
today at noon and authorized the Sec
retary to send q letef to all members
OF the Board urging that they contrIs
butte to $1,000 fund for carrying on the
work.
The committee strongly favors the
proposition that the Commissioners bc
authorized to purchase property as they
can most edvantageously with view
to carrying out the park system con-
tained in the Mcmillan plan. II 10 urged
by the Commissioners that whenever
Congress sets aside an appropriation
for certain piece Of ground. the price
OF this land at once advances. and that
II would be much more economical II
Congress would simply set aside cer-
tain appropriation each year for pur-
chase Of park property by the Commits
cioners during the year. This opinion Is
concurred In by the Board of Trade and
the special committee.
In order to carry out the proposed ex-
tensive campaign. the committee be.
lieves at least $500 and probably Sl,0OC
will be needed. Plans for raising this
money will be formulated at todays
meeting.

CATHOLIC SOCIETIES.

Are we having too many Catholic
societies? On the theory that we
can not have too much of good
thing It would seem not. And yet
they come and 90. Old ones pass
out and new ones beg for favors.
Unless there is a good reason for its
existence sooner or later the germ of
Aecay attacks every organization.
Either a society must offer some
khing better than has been before,
its management must be finan-
cihlly more in accord with the needs
and wants Of it's prospective mem
bers IL 1t hopes to maintain itself.
Each society has for its prime object
the attainment of some social, re-
hgious or beneficiary feature. 1t Is
not we'll to incorporate too many
objects in one organization. Those
succeed best which hold closely to
one object and exploit that. II a
society fails 1t is proof that It's day
OF usefulness is past. And the
moment it ceases to wax stronger,
= ust then retrogression has set in.
CHEESE remarks are suggested by the
ent activity In local societies

at 1912 will be a banner year for
of them, and in this respect we

EMIGRATION DECREASING.

The emigration from Germany,
like Ireland, into the United States
continues to decrease. In 1911 there
were only 226,500 from German
ports, as compard with 300,5S5 in
1910 These figures cover immigra-
ton through Germany as well as
from Germany, so that even they
must be cut down to reach the real
Germanic influx OF the year. The
German immigration has been Of in
calculable value to American prog
ress not only because of the Ger
manic virtues but also because the
German was by race, character and
history in sympathy with the ideals
of civil freedom upon which Ameri-
can institutions were founded. There
were never any truer Americans in
the deeper. ideal sense of the word
than the German revolutionists of
'48. And when they failed and had
to flee their own land they came
naturally to the American republic,
bringing priceless gift of courage
and high ideals Of citizenship. The
Germanic strain in the future
American will be one of its greatest
sources OF strength.

JUDGE dunno.

Both the strength of Judge
DUNES candidacy for Governor and
the Importance to the democratic
Democracy of Illinois of making IL
successful, are attested by the
hysterical opposition its announce
ment has called out from Hearst.
Whoever is any longer misled by
Hearst, sins against light. In the
politics of San Francisco, of New
York and of Chicago he has revealed
himself for what he is-a mere self
seeker, unprincipled, unattached,
and ready for any kind of political
adventure that promises spoils for
Hearst. The spoils Hearst seeks
now are delegates to the Democratic
national convention, where he cal
culates to figure as dark horse.
Part of his plan is to push into the
background, with his buccaneering
newspapers, every strong candidate
for President, and into the fore
ground temporarily the weaker ones.
Hence his slambang opposition to
Gov. Wilson; hence also his fatal
friendliness to Speaker Clark, with
Mayor Harrison held in reserve in
case Clark grows strong. At the APP
preaching Democratic primaries any
vote against Dunno, from whatever
motive, will turn out to be a vote
for Hearst. The democratic Demo-
Gratis of Chicago understand this. If
those in the rest of the State do not,
they woyld.uae we'll to inform them
selves le they vote.
