Washington National Park.
From the Baltimore American.

4
The suggestion made by Ambassador
Bryce in his address before the American
Civic Association concerning the reserva-
ton of national park in the area that
lies between Washington and Baltimore
should and doubtless will, have the effect
of reviving congressional interest in this
proposition This scheme was first def
nitely outlined by citizen of Baltimore.
The practicability of the plan is beyond
question. The thing can be done If only
Congress decides that it shall be done
The nation has already invested a good
deal of money in national parks, and in
carrying out the provisions of bill
passed during the last session, will insert
great deal more in the proposed chain
of Appalachian parks. But none Of the
big parks which the government has al
ready established or which are in con-
temptation under the provisions of the
Appalachian bill will be more admirably
placed than the suggested reservation be-
tween Baltimore and the National Capt.
tai. The land area that would be includ-
ed in such a park, once acquired. could
This suggested reservation would be a
forest forty miles long and averaging
from five to ten miles in width. If the
length of this reservation should be forty
miles. and the average width ten miles,
the forest would include 400 square miles,
or 256,OOO acres. At $40 per acre the cost
would be $1O,24O. 600 to the government.
The scheme is noble one and it ought
to be realized. Congress has always ex-
pended money lavishly in embellishing the
nations capital, and upon many schemes
possessing nothing like the Importance
which pertains to Mr.. Bryce's suggestion.

But will there be time? The tarin

AS there is no limit to the subjects the
special session may consider, there will
likewise be none as to the session 8

If he needs it. i
1t does not seem likely that more than
tariff revision will be attempted at the
special session. The tariff Is beloved of
political orators. 1t is a temptation to
both, the prepared and the unprepared.
All alike tackle it with gusto Hence,
when the Payne law is put on the chop
ping block next spring, either for trim
ming or destruction, the air will be full
of cleavers, and every wielder will want a
chance to display his skill.

to revise his suggestions about. a large

Legislation at the Special Session.

Senator O'Gorman thinks other matters
besides the tariff should be taken up at
the extra session of Congress. He men
tions the trusts and the currency, and
says the country wants prompt action on
both problems.
So 1t does. But Mr.. OGorman fails to
consider how difficult those problems are,
and how many opinions exist as to what
should be done. The currency problem in
particular has developed more different
opinions than any other of recent years.
Not only are leading bankers and finan-
ciers divided on it, but lesser business
lights are giving light at cross purposes.
As to the politicians. they are more at
sea as TO the currency than as to either
the tariff or the trusts.
Though Mr.. Wilson may mention only
the tariff in his message. Congress will
not be restricted to that subject. It may
in its discretion take up any or all mat
ters that figured in the recent campaign.

Mr.. Taft and Congress.

At the coming session Congress may
transact only the routine business. There
Ia a good deal of that. and the session is
limited to three months. The supply bills
carry large amounts Of money, cover
many different subjects, and provoke
much debate. And the government must
have it's rations.
This leads to the report that no re-
sponse will be made by Congress to any
recommendations the President may
make in his annual or in special mes
saces touching matters outside the
routine. They, it is stated, will be re-
ferred and pigeon holed. for two reasons:
u lack of time. and (2J the meaning of
the recent election.
The argument on the second head is
that the President and his party have
been served with notice to retire. Their
course has been condemned, and the
course Of their designated successors
outlined; and as Mr.. Wilson is to take
office in March. and will call the new
Congress together in April, the delay
about business outside the routine will
be short and inconsequential Hence the
proposition to pass up all but routine
business to the new order of things, be-
ginning March f.
At the same time the Presidents duty
Is very plain. His responsibilities run
with his term, and that does not expire
until his successor qualities. The mes
sage he Will send in next month therefore
should contain, as doubtless 1t will. his
views about such questions as he thinks
the present Congress should handle.
The case may be stated even more
strongly. If the present Congress were
republican in both branches. 1t would be

President to legislate outside the routine

as Presidents for four, and its power
and responsibility continue to the last
day.
II the Presidents last message should
prove to be no more. it will answer the
end of comparison or contrast with his
successors first. What he may say on
such subjects are now before the
country Will precede by only a few months
Mr.. Wilson's recommendations, or fail
ure to recommend. and in that way we
snail get line at once on a portion of
the program of the new administration
1t is not for the President to INQUIRE
what his opponents in this Congress are
likely to do, or threatening not to do. They
will be responsible for their course. az
ne will be for his. If they decide to
ignore his recommendations, and aug
ment by that much Mr.. Wilson's oppor-
tunity, they viii be within their province
though If by such course they DELAY

not be serving the best interests of their

The Boy Scouts.
rom the Chicago Post.

tue SnlcasO fost
The American Federation of Labor has
Withdrawn its formidable disapproval of
the Boy Scout movement. This means
that the federation is convinced that the
Boy Scouts. as organized and directed in
this country, are not militaristic. 1t is
true that foolish leaders here and there
have started out to drill the boys and to
instill militaristc point of view, but the
great mass of directors seem to have
been far more interested in giving the
boys a knowledge of woodcraft and the
technique of camping than they have
been in the manual of arms And the re-
peated statements of those most respon-
sible for the movement that they were
trying to give American boys good bodies,
trained intelligence, self-reliant wills
and an appreciation of our vanishing
frontier has at last carried the weight II
should have.
Now the socialists revise their hasty
condemnation of the Boy Scouts, the
working class youngsters may begin to
reap the advantages which the movement
has to offer them.

Col. Harvey and Mr.. Wilson.

In speaking of Col. George Harveys
discovery of Woodrow Wilson as a. presi-
Dental quantity and praising the colo
nels acumen, Life. the weekly New
York publication, says: Among all the
advertised democratic politicians there
was none that looked available: none that
seemed able to avoid destruction at the
hands of Bryan, and still carry the state
of New York. 9 81
Col. Harvey is undoubtedly good poll
tician. In the matter of Mr.. Wilson he
saw some things very clearly. Other
things he did not see at all. nor did any
body else, and those were the things that
in the end counted.
Observe At the time Col. Harvey
picked him, Mr.. Wilson was strongly
anti-Bryan. He wanted Mr.. Bryan
knocked into cooked hat He considered
that essential to the welfare of the dem
ocratic party. Mr.. Wilson, like Col. Har-
vey. had been a supporter of Mr.. Cleve-
land. 1t was the general opinion that
nothing resembling Bryanism could carry.
New York at any time.
The republican party was united, and
in its best fighting form. It had carried
every national election by enormous ma
jorities since 1892.
But before Mr.. Wilson was accepted by
the democratic party as it's leader he had
gone over bag and baggage to Bryanism.
and had hailed Mr.. Bryan as the greatest
democrat of his generation. Otherwise,
he could not have been nominated at
Baltimore If he had then been as
strongly anti-Bryan as when Col. Har-
vey first presented him for consideration.
he would not have had any chance at all
at the Baltimore convention. Mr.. Clark
would have had a walk-away for the
Then the republican situation had

They were surprises which fate had in
store for everybody. And they deter
mined the result at the polls. AS q. con-
vert to Bryanism. Mr.. Wilson with Mr..
Bryan's aid carried nearly all of the old
Bryan territory. while the republican di-
visions gave Mr.. Wilson states which
no democratic candidate for President
had ever carried before. AS for New
York, If Mr.. Taft had polled his party's
full strength there as against a candidacy
standing for Bryanism. Mr. Wilson would

Who depart from day to day.

Also with a sigh.

TO CURE COLDS
Don't Neglect a Cold, Stop it in the
Sneezing Stage, Use Ely's Cream
Balm.

A cold generally attacks the weak
est part, affecting the eyes and ears
in some and producing nasal catarrh
and throat troubles in others. A cold
is due to an inflammation of the
membrane lining the air passages,
and may be- promptly cured with a
little Ely's Cream Balm, which i'm
mediately relieves the Inflammation
and all the distressing symptoms,
such as sneeZing, coughing, running
at the nose and eyes, hoarseness, sore
throat, fever and headache. One rea-
son why this pure. antiseptic Balm
acts so quickly is because it is ap-
piled directly to the tender, sore sur
face.
Even in severe, chronic cases of
catarrh Ely's Cream Balm never fails
to quickly and effectually check the
poisonous discharge which clogs the
head and throat, causing the disgust
ing hawking, splitting and blowing of
! the nose. This remedy not only
drives out the rotteneness, but heals
and strengthens the weakened and
diseased membranes, thus ending ca
tarrh for all time.
Catarrh is a filthy, disgusting dis
ease. Don't put up with it another
day. Get a so cent bottle of Ely's
Cream Balm from your druggist to-
