Won Bernstorff on Washington

Ambassador Won Bernstorffs address
before the Board of Trade last night gave
the members of that organization a clear
concept of the handling of municipal
problems in his own country. His de-
scription of German municipal conditions
involved the relation of much of direct
interest here, where a model city is be-
ing evolved through the combined efforts
of local taxpayers and national legisla-
ture. There is much for Americans to
learn in German city management. and
if the practical illustrations which the
ambassador gave to the Board of Trade
last night of the satisfactory handling of
municipal questions could be quickly
worked into results here Washington
would make a very material advance to-
ward the attainment Of the ideal. At
the same time it is gratifying and re-
assuring to learn from Count Won
Bernstorff that he regards Washington
as one of the most beautiful cities in the
world Such praise from one who has
Travelled SO widely is to be accepted as a
sincere and encouraging compliment

the more popular and effective a. q
lecturer because of his experience in
Congress and as mayor Of New York.
He may not have politics distinctly for
topic in any Of his lectures, but, to
employ a homely phrase, he may easily
"slosh around" and give his classes
something extra in the way Of illustra-
ton drawn from political affairs as he
has known them as an actor in them.
Young men, and particularly those
with the bar or politics in view, would
enjoy and profit by such a treat.
And at Harvard. whatever duties Mr..
Bacon may take; UP. he will be the
more interesting to the students be-
cause of the time he has spent and the
lessons learned rubbing shoulders with
men Of influence in matters relating to
the running of government.
But will these men stick to their new
tasks? II Gov. Wilson fails to score
at Baltimore. and the democracy under
another leadership loses in November,
will he care longer for politics with
nothing in sight for himself? He has
no fortune, and his income in such
circumstances would be larger from
HIS old than his new field.
In the case Of Mr. Mcclellan, il the
democracy wins in November there
will be much desirable patronage
brought under the knife, and il a
tempting slice were offered the for
mer congressman and mayor of New
York. would he decline it, and remain
with his pupils at Princeton?

the Cleveland Plain Dealer.

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
There is general agreement that pres
ent arrangements for the protection of
government records are utterly made
Quate. Enormous pecuniary loss might
be occasioned by fire. dampness and other
causes are constant deteriorating influ-
ences. while the acknowledged inconven-
fence Of present arrangements means great
loss Of time and efficiency to those depart
ments having frequently to consult the
records. The manuscript materials in
Washington for historical and research
work. except those in the Congress. onal
Library. are exposed in most cases to the
same perils which surround Official pa
pers Students who desire to consult these
original sources Of information are prac-
ticaily barred from doing so Thus the
records of the nations early wars Of her
triumphs on sea and land. of her diplo-
matte negotiations In three centuries are
often closed against inspection OF those
who could make the highest use of them.
The destruction Of such treasures as these
would meanaa loss incalculable. Little
argument issAeeded to show the wasteful
folly of long delaying action which will
make any such loss impossible. It Is q
matter in which the public should inter-
est itself.

A recreation building for the young peo-
pie at lexington is proposed by the
Brotherhood of the Presbyterian Church
of that section as a neighborhood institu-
ton. This is in line with the modern con-
cept Of child-caring. 1t is recognized that
home influences must be carried beyond
the dwelling itself and that the commu-
nifty must furnish some form of whole
some diversion. The public Fairgrounds
are Invaluable for the younger children in
the mild season Of the year, but in win
ter there Is no place save the streets for
the young folks who are not entertained
at home, and after dark many of the
forms of diversion open are decidedly I'M
desirable. This lexington experiment
should enlist the hearty support of every
parent within the proposed range of the
recreation building.

But, for better or for worse, whether he
is as radical in acts in office as in words

state but section The whole south was
proud of them, and profited by their pres
ence and activities in the chamber. And
Mr.. Williams, now in service, and who
will be Mr. vardamans colleague, is
worthy of the states reputation in the
Senate, and will be spur to the junior
senator to do his best.
Mr.. Vardaman is product of the pri-
mary; and it is best so. Had there been
no canvass of claims before the people.
but an old-fashioned contest before the
legislature with half a dozen entries and
a deadlock, the election of Mr.. Vardaman
might have been characterized as a tri-
umph of radicalsm under cover, and in
that way an injustice to the state. But.
as the contest was waged. every voter had
opportunity to know what the candidates
represented; and Mr.. Vardaman was cho-
sen in the open light of day, with all of
his merits and imperfections on his head.
The people knew what they were doing,
and the sort of man they We're calling to
high duties.
The new leader is in the prime of life,
familiar with politics and with Office, a
good speaker, and on the national stage
may he expected to exert his best powers
for attra citing attention.

that there Is no obligation on the part Of
the United States to pay one-half Of
the funded debt of the District and that
what has been paid from federal funds
on this account during thirty-three years
should be refunded. Reviewing all the
circumstances Of the creation OF the debt.

is no equitable foundation for the suspen-
sion of federal payments. 1t is a
treasure house of facts and arguments
and states the case for the District in a
most convincing manner.

The Calvert Street Bridge.

The circumstances regarding the CAL
vert Street bridge render it imperative
that the District bill should be amended
before final passage to carry an appro-
priation, not merely for further patchwork
on that structure. but for the immediate
beginning on new bridge capable of car
rying the load of traffic which flows
across Rock creek at that point The
Commissioners have been recently ad-
vised by an engineer that the only way
in which this bridge can be made APP
proximately safe is to reduce the cover
hang which carries the footway and
part of the roadway so as to lessen
the vibrations. To do this will involve
a reduction of the space for vehicles to
such an extent that it will be impossible
for a carriage, wagon or motor car to
pass or be passed by a street car run
ming in the same direction. This change
will involve serious congestion on the
bridge, causing all traffic at times to go
in slow procession, thereby not only MAX
ing for delay, but occasionally bringing
very heavy loads to bear upon the bridge
members. This is entirely apart from
the question of accidents, which in such
conditions would almost certainly occur.
To spend 5000 on such a work and not
to provide at once for a new bridge would
be no solution of this problem. There
should be no unsafe bridges in the Dis
trict of Columbia, and to maintain this
structure in it's present condition or to
tinker it up to give 1t the appearance of
strength or to effect temporary modifi-
cation without moving promptly to get a

Missouri will decide between her IA
yorite sons. and they have agreed TO
abide by the decision. II Folk, Folk IL is:
If Clark, Clark it is.
Can there he serious question as TO the
result? Is not the case so plain that he
who runs may read?
Suppose Missouri picks Folk. Will that
make him real quantity in the Balti-
more equation? Worthy as is his rec
ord, II is only local. and now somewhat
remote. Several years have passed since
he cleaned up ST. Louis, and other rec
ords of larger caliber by other men OF
national consequence have been made
since then Gov. Folk, in this day OF
rush and up-to-datedness, is very much Of
a back number. He requires identified
tion at the paying teller's window. He
cannot become by a mere home indorse-
ment a competitor of such men as Har-
mon. Wilson. Underwood and Bryan for
the Baltimore nomination.
But suppose Missouri picks Clark. Then
she gets definitely and undoubtedly into
the game. The Speaker is in all this
business most decidedly up-to-date. He
is national quantity of the first order
He is as much in the public eye as any
OF his rivals. You can put your finger
west. There is Clark BOOM and it is
booming loudly.
Just at this time. too. the Clark men
are greatly encouraged. Suppose this
furry about Gov. Wilson swells into a
fury. Suppose the New Jersey candidate
loses ground the result of the present
effort to show that his boom is of trust
origin, and that in an ungrateful way he
is trying to clear himself of the incum-
brance. Who should benefit? Who SO
much as Mr.. Clark? His boom has no
undesirable connections of any kind. He
has steered consistent course from the
beginning of his national career, and
stands today for the things that have
grown logically out Of the past. IL Gov
Wilson loses, Mr.. Clark should win, In
whatever issues from the Wilson-Harvey
episode.
Mr.. Clark's case is even stronger than
this. That he is sincere IN the declaration
that IL defeated at home he will with
draw from the presidential contest can
not be doubted. for he is a sincere man.
But suppose his supporters elsewhere de-
cline to accept an adverse Missouri yer-
dict. Suppose they take the position that
Missouri cannot show them, but that
they will SHOW her, and do so by BOOM
ing Mr.. Clark more loudly than ever. He
could not prevent that IL he would, and
would ii be human nature for him to try
to do so? And how should Missouri feel
il after offering to the party an impossi-
bility in the person Of Mr.. Folk the party
in national convention offers her the can
didste in the person Of Mr.. Clark? Would
the word cheap be strong enough to
describe the feeling?
What Missouri will vote upon at Jop-
lin relates to whether or not she will re-
main in the presidential running. II she
votes for Folk she takes herself out Of
1t. though she may not take Mr.. Clark
out. II she votes for Clark. for the first
time in her history she will stand q
chance to secure a presidential nomina-
tion for one of her sons.
