Why have all the large mer.
chants in Hayti quit advertising:
Surely the saloons cannot be de
pended upon to bring all the
business to town. If it paid to
advertise while the town was
dry and nobody came to town,
how much more would it pay
now? The newspaper is making
a living. of course, but our buSi.
ness was much better while the
town was dry, yet we put up a
hard fight to get the saloons
back and in doing so injured our
business in many ways. We arc
not blaming the saloons. but
those who expect the saloons tC
do everything keep the tow
up, furnish the revenue. bring
the business, etc, and leave
them nothing to do but sit dow
and rake in the Sheckles, while
the poor old newspaper tina
shouldered the load and put W
the fight is cast aside. neglected
and left to utter disregard. One
experience like this will doubt
less prove enough for us, ant
hereafter we may be expected tt
look at our side of buSincS,

Underwood in Georgia.

Have care. Woodrow wilson, that
you do not offend your Southern Sup
porters by the covert attacks OF your
press bureau on Oscar Underwood, AT
least, the Savannah News delivers an
impressive warning. The South, par
ticularly Georgia, is partial to both
of these candidates for the Democratic
nomination, it declares, and notice is
served that the distinguished governor
of New Jersey. III his candidatory zeal,
must not oyerreach himself in his fight
On Underwood. To call the House floor
leader a minion of Wall street is an
insult to Alabama, whose intense loyalty
TO its 'favorite son" threatens to become
one OF the pivotal factors in the coming
Baltimore convention.
The latest story going the rounds in
the South IS that Bryan will bolt the
ticket if Underwood is nominated. The
Wilson workers are given the credit OF
having distributed this insidious rumor,
which has merely had the effect OF solid
flying the Underwood movement in Ala
bama and Georgia. 1t is now clear that
Wilson will have to fight for the South
crn delegates which were at first as
surned TO be the backbone of his con-
vention. strength.

Baseball a Pivot.

More than one philosopher has seer
in the Americans intense and passion
ate devotion to baseball the concrete ex-
preston of Aedominant national char.
acteristic II Is the quintessence Of
swift nervous energy. and the fortune:
of the game are determined in brilliant
flashes of mental and muscular inspira-
ton. There is no place for the plodder
the merely steady, reliable man, in it
The critical error, the decisive play, is a
matter of fraction of second And in
that lies the revelation of one phase oi
the American temperament.
No other nation possesses sport
which is so purely and completely ma
tional as baseball is to the United States
From Bangor to San Diego. from San
Antonio TO Duluth, baseball holds sway
through FIVE months of the year, with
absolutely no rival Neither the close
knitted peoples of Europe nor the vast
hordes OF the Orient have such a bond
of sportSmanship. Even in so small and
heterogeneous population as that of
the British Isles, the Scot of Perth
shire differs radically in his sporting
tendencies from the cockney of London
or the yeoman of Dartmoor But baseball
appeals to the American metropolitan
and the American farmer with unchang-
ing appeal: it has been so for a gen.
Grafton and it will remain so.
A third essential element of baseball
the all-important part in the game taken
by the umpire-rcveals the inherent
conservatism of the American character.
Shout and clamor as We may against
this mightiest of arbitefs, the bleachers
know him for what he is, and would
sooner see the heavens fall than have
their faith in him broken down. Base
ball without the umpire, and without
an efficient umpire, would be unthink-
able. There is no recall from his de-
cisions should there be, the entire fabric
OF the game would tumble to the ground.
The opening OF the baseball season
is to the secular world what Easter is
10 the religious" says the St Louis Re
public. Several millions of people are
going to think more about batting and
fielding averages duSing the next six
months than about tariffs, trusts, third
terms. or nominees. They will do more
figuring on percentages than. they ever
did on tax schedules or the ratio of
representation"
Perhaps baseball will be the antidote
for political malaria "Similia similibus
curantur,' is the Latin way of it. Who
would not rather have the baseball
mania than the political fever.

ON DIR. MARY WALKER.
Good Word Is said for the Eccen-
tricity Of Famous Woman.


From the New York Times.
For many years DR.. Mary Walker has
been a familiar figure. considerably more
pathetic than amusing. though amusing
not little. and IL Is well to remember
that there has always been about her
something more than eccentricity-that
she had been characterized by sturdy
independence. OF which her wearing of
the garments she liked best, regardless
OF criticism or derision. was only one,
and not the most important manifesto
ton
She has been a woman with ideas,
slightly disordcred. Il is true, but her
own and harmful To none. An oid-time
suffragist. she has not been in harmony
Of opinion with the later advocates OF
the suffrage cause The variance seems
to have been as TO methods rather than
as 10 object however. and there Is a GER
tain plausibility in her contention that
the fundamental law was not SO much
interpreters and executors OF that law
the men, in other words. II is at least
as plausible as some other contentious
on the same subject made by wCmen
who do not wear trousers and frock
coats.
Few people have ridiculed DR. Mary
10 her face, and not infrequently legisla-
tors who We're derisive in their treatment
of less grotesIue eNpouents of feminism
were both gentle and respectful TO her
Just why Il would be hard to say. Per-
haps il was because she had a sort of
dignity. and because about her essential
goodness there has never been any
question.

encouraged. or, we are inclined to say.
tolerated in and about the city: BUSH
ness. whether mercantile or financial, is
doing almost incaleulable good 70 the
city proper Under It's benign influence
land values in F and c streets. in H and
around Fifteenth streets, property prices
are soaring far beyond the most san
guine hopes of the earlier builders of
the city. Predictions made of old by
the Willards and the Eyanses, who had
abiding faith in the 'city's business fu-
|ture. have been more than realized.
Along such lines of development as
these very clearly lies the work of our
trade bodies. 1t would appear to be a
special function of the Chamber of
Commerce TO work this out And the
starting point of it all lies in the funda-
mental fact that commercial and indus
trial interests are already more strongly
intrenched within the limits of the Dis
trict of Columbia than many of IFS citi-
zens realize, A census statement that
there are nine States or Territories in
the United States whose manufactured
output in 1910 was less than that Of the
little sixty-five square miles of area in
the District of Columbia viii doubtless
come as a surprise 10 some VINO enter
tain an unduly slight regard for the
commercial and industrial importance of
the city.

Closets are small compartments built
in houses for the purpose OF eoncealing
clothes, shoes, skeletons, naughty child
ren and bad housekeeping.
/ Closets are not Important TO men. be-
cause they are not allowed to use them.
But they mean everything to women.
A home may have poor furnace, a
leaky roof and a rheumatic system OF
plumbing, but II il has two large closets
| in each room, woman will rent il with
a cry of Joy, and will live happily in 1t
until she can find some house which IS
nine blocks from the street car, but has
one more closet and window in II at
that.
Closets are very useful, because they
keep rooms so clean and orderly, and
closet doors are useful because they can
be shut and locked. thus keeping reck-
| less husbands from wandering into the
closets and getting lost. Husbands are
the greatest drawbacks to closets any
way. A husband is brewer trying to
creak into a beautiful large closet and
hang a pair OF pants in IT, Marriages
would be happier II husbands were more
considerate in this regard. Only the other
day in Seattle a man who had always
been considered kind and noble broke
into a beautiful closet and misplaced
eleven skirts. nine waists. four hat boxes,
eighteen pairs Of shoes. sealskin coat.
three muffs. feather boa. and an opera
cape while trying To find vest; and the
vest wasn't there either. His wife had
given il to the Salvation Army long
ago. good many closets are supposed
20 contain skeletons, but this is a minor
affiictiOn besides a husband. skeleton
doesn't root around in a closet and turn
it inside out trying to find its shoes.
Closets have been getting larger dur
ing the past few years. mainly because
of the great growth in the size OF hats

Mr.. Macveagh Speaks Truly

Secretary Macyeagh, III his address
before the Board of Trade, touched with
accuracy and force upon condition
which exists in Washington and which
has hitherto been emphasized in The
Washington Herald Mr.. MacVcagh
notes the development of the parking
system along contracted lines, so that
many sections of the District are being
neglected
With all the foresight shown by
TEnfant in planning the National Capt.
tai, he was guilty of one great oversight
The design of the city should have been
carried upon paper to the entire extent
OF the ten miles square. and then the fu-
ture would have been secure. As it is,
the original city remains to-day as ii
was laid out more than century ago,
with all its parks and reservations. Out
side of the old boundaries there has de-
yeloped city which seems TO bear no
relation whatever to TEnfant's design.
4
to system and the park idea has been to-
tally ignored. There is not reservation
north of Thomas Circle on Fourteenth
street. and Logan Circle on Thirteenth
street, although there is large popula-
ton north of Florida avenue. The
northeastern section of the city is al
most wholly without parking spaces,
while it IS only lately that Georgetown
has been provided with public ground.
1t Is very proper. Of course, that there
should be development of the Mall, and
perhaps it may be necessary to add to
the already extensive area covered by
the Rock Creek and Geological parks. 1t
would seem, however, as Secretary Mac
Neagh wisely suggests. as if these prof.
ects might wait while something is done
for the people who live in sections of the
District which have been ignored. These
citizens and taxpayers are certainly en-
titled TO consideration.

Printing of New. plays a siEainesn'
Literary Deyelopment.

AtAFElEf btfrAoEs--%tst-
Firm the Christian seieDcs Monitor.
Few changes in the book publishing
business during the last decade have
been as significant as the readiness OF
even the most conservative arins to
print new plays, either prior TO or
Immediately after their first rendering on
the stage. Run over the list Of new
books this spring issued IN London. New

To a resident Of Paris or Berlin the fact
would occasion no surprise. To an
American II denotes radical change In
the purchasing public. .eIse. there would
be no supply from the publishers.
The causes Of the change Of attitude
of the American dealer are attributable
to the diminished hostility Of the church
TO the stage as such. to the increasing
attention given to the drama, whether
viewed as art or literaturcs by universe
ties and colleges, TO the swift spread Of
societies like the American Drama
League and to the emergence of group
OF native playwrights with high ideals
and ever increasing technical skill, The
consequence has been that playwright.
stage manager and players have all come
10 see the desirability Of aiding In every
way the new medium for providing
audiences that shall be intelligent as. well
as pleasure seeking So far from the
printed play proving a dangerous com
petitor for the actual play, 1t Is quite
the reverse.
The obvious advantages of the new
departure, 10 tine playwright are both
pecuniary and technical. He has n new
source of revenue. and he has TO be more
careful as to his craftsmanship. To the
playgoer, both for anticipatory and rem
iniscent purposes, the text Of play read
at leisure is educational and may be in
spring. Even where material differ
ences exist between the published and
the acted version. as often is the case,
the record of the play as IT. first came
from the author is useful IL only to
register the changes that sometimes are
made In catering TO sordid managerial
ideal or a depraved popular taste.

Vaughn Moody and Josephine p. Pea

thing more in mind than writing ''closet

ment OF English at Harvard, nationally
and internationally considered. becomes
that of dramatic literature; when Yale
University furnishes both composer and
librettist of the prize American opera,
and when the American Drama League
in less than three years can marshal
more than 5o.O00 affiliated members. II
means that new epoch for the dramatic
form OF literature has opened in a land
where for generations the stage was
under ban.' American publishers, being
shrewd, note such facts, and SO to-day
the best plays OF native and European
playwrights are on the market instanter.

Industrial Washington.

A glance at the books of the collector
of taxes will show the surprisingly large
proportion of the city's share of support
that IS borne by the business and COM
Inercial interests of the city. We are
aware of well-defned prejudice against
business and manufactures in the Dis
trict that exists as sort OF fetch in the
minds of many 1t has come as sort
of inheritance, and with a few it
amounts almost to prejudice against
anything in the way of commercial and
industrial development This sentiment
to certain extent exists in the minds
of the city fathers in Congress.
Despite all this and apart from the
industries established by the government,
the District of Columbia manufactured
about S35,oooooo worth Of goods in 1910,
according to official census reports. The
printing and publishing industry was the
largest contributor to the private COM
mercial industries BY far the largest
individual sums of taxes come to the
city from commercial and industrial
sources. Even city licenses give us one
tenth Of the share Of the District, and
that is not, by any means, the largest
single contribution from business and
trade
Whence. then, one may well ask, docs
this prejudice arise? What foundation is
there for it: Why cannot industries be
