At . meeting Of the Washington Florist

for the best ornamentation of school
gardens In order to stimulate interest in
the competition between the schools.
This is another move in the direction of
the proper development Of the gardening
spirit on the part of the children Of
Washington. For some years they have
been under instruction In the matter Of

A War Without q Name.
From the New York Evening Mail.

From the New York Evening Mail
1t is becoming hard to know what to
call the war that was fought in this
country in the years 1876. Time and
usage have invalidated several of the ac-
copied designations. Once it was called
the Rebellion" That really described it,
but the use Of the word rebellion implies
rebels, and we are trying, very properly,
to forget there were any whom even
their antagonists called rebels. Besides
many people who now love the Union
quite as well as any one, take the view
that the resistance to the federal au-
thority In 1916 was not q rebellion at
all. There Is no reason why title should
be used that is unpleasant to them. Once
the term 1.-The late unpleasantness" served
to describe the conflict, humorously and
without sectional animus. But 1t Ii not
"late'' any more. 1t is q long time ago.
And the phrase lacks dignity. 'The
Civil War" is the accepted title now. It
is an accurate description, but there have
been other civil wars. and ''the civil
war" in enduring history. means that
one that was fought in England long
ago. Besides. ours was q very uncivil
war. Alexander H. Stephens called 1t
1.-The war between the states" and Presi-
dent Taft proposes to adopt that desigua-
ton. But this name is open to the OBJ
lection that 1t Is ungrammaucal BE-
tween" means in relation to two things
only Between the states simply means
between two states.

Kentucky and the Presidency.

Mr.. Clark, who since the assembling OF
Congress had declined many invitations
to speak. made an exception In the case
Of his native state. When the members
Of the Kentucky legislature signified a de-
sire to hear him. very properly he ac-
cepted. He visited Frankfort Saturday,
was most cordially greeted, discussed ma
tional issues and the record of the present
House. and heartened his fellow demo-
Gratis with predictions Of success In No
yember.
For whom will Kentucky plump at
Baltimore? She has yet to say. No
eayorite residential son IL mentioned
Mr.. Clark and Mr.. Underwood were
born in the state. and remained until
reaching manhood. This gives both a
hold upon good feeling and state pride
there. But, so far. sentiment has not
set strongly in favor of either man for the
Baltimore nomination.
Gov. Harmon lives just across the Ohio
river In Ohio. and Gov. Marshall just
ACROSS the same stream In Indiana. Both
are known and respected In Kentucky.

Mr.. Watterson Is still in Florida in

borhood-and listening to the notes OF the

on in that locality. Whatever may be-
tide the Wilson boom. he is coming back.
and has formally served notice on his
enemies to that effect.
Shall we see Mr. wattersoa take up
where he left on? When he departed
from this town in January his contention
was that Gov. Wilson had not dealt
frankly with the public respecting the
so-called Observation-Disclosures Ryan cpl
sode. Something more-something very
mportant-remained to be said. and Mr..
Watterson dared Gov. Wilson to say IT.
So Tar. Gov. Wilson has taken the dare
He has not responded to Mr. Watterson's
pointed and interesting invitation. He
has talked about many things. but not
again about the authority Mr.. Watterson
claimed to have In what he did to promote
the Wilson presidential candidacy.
This Information Is still in Mr.. Waiter
sons hands. Is 1t of a character to be
used without Gov. Wilson's authoriza-
ton? It must be interesting. and it may
be important. When Mr.. Watterson re-
turns home, and shakes or the languor
Of his southern sojourn. and gets into
his energetic Kentucky stride. shall we
see the Blue Grass democracy sit UP
and take notice, and express itself as to
what should be done in Baltimore? Why

A Fourteen-Foot Ballot.

The arguments for the short ballot
will be greatly strengthened by the voters
in the New York primaries to be held the
18th Of this month. In some of the dis
tricts In the city the ballots which will be
placed in the hands Of the voters will be
of gigantic proportions. In the twenty
third congressional district the paper on
which the citizen is to mark his pref
erences for the various candidates will be
fourteen feet long. OF course such a bal
lot is preposterous. No man can intelli-
gently handle 1t In the time that is usually
occupied by the average voter in the poll
ing place. The citizen must have his mind
made up in advance precisely what names
to check or he will be hopelessly confused
when confronted by the columns of type
many feet in length from which he must
make his selections. The object of the
primary law IL to permit a free choice OF
candidates on the part of the people, but
n fourteen-foot ballot is surely not an aid
to such q selection.

Do Not Give Up the Treaties.
rom the New York Time

We trust that the arbitration treaties
will not be given up without grave con-
sideration. and only IL 1t shall appear that
better agreements can be ratified later.
II It be found that the governments OF
Great Britain and OF France do not care
to accept the treaties in the form In which
they are left by the action OF the Senate
that would. of course, be decisive for the
present, but when the actual provisions of
the amended treaties, together with the
terms of the Senates resolution Of ratifl-
cation, are carefully studied these govern
ments will find them we'll worth saving.
In that view our own government may
very properly concur.

The Public Utilities Bill.

Senator Gallinger's assurance that the
public utilities bill will not remain in
definitely in committee, to which it was
returned Saturday from the Senate. is
to be accepted as an indication that a
serious effort Will be made to put 1t In
such shape that when 1t is reported back
1t will command a majority, and will be
passed without further delay. 1t will
probably be easier to modify It to this
end in committee than in the open Senate.
While the measure loses it's status as the
unfinished business by its recommittal 1t
may regain this position later upon Its
second reporting.
Some form Of public utilities bill that
properly safeguards the financial interests
Of the District and at the same time in
sures the organization of an effective
agency for regulating the corporations that
serve the people should be enacted without
fail at this session. The houses of Con-
gress owe 1t to themselves TO provide this
method OF adjudicating the innumerable
issues which arise between the community
and the public service companies, and
which are now made the subjects of leg
islative proposals consuming the time of
tho committees and the chambers them
selves.
The differences that have arisen regard
Ing the details Of the proposed system
are surely susceptible Of settlement. 1t Is
to be assumed that all of those who seek
the amendment Of the bill are earnestly
DESTROYS Of its passage. In that event
q compromise of the differences Is not
beyond easy reach, but too much time
should not be taken. Not many more
weeks will remain Of the session IL the
present plans of those In charge Of the
legislative program are carried into effect
The appropriation bills are coming on
apace. and In q short time the Senate
will be thoroughly occupied with such
pressing business that 1t viii be difficult
to obtain q hearing for local measures.
The bill is, to he sure. in the most capable
hands, and the District will take comfort
In the fact. This measure Is the most
important item OF proposed local legisla-
ton at the present session. and its final
enactment is urgently required to aid the
District In securing a modal system of
public utilities.

MI. Roosevelt and the Stump.

Mr.. Roosevelt thinks 1t may become
necessary for him to take the stump.
Amend, by striking out may" and sub
stituting will.
The compelling roar which was to FOL
low Mr.. Roosevelt's reply to the gov
errors has not materialized. Men have
not left the Taft camp by the hundred
thousands and Joined the supporters OF
the former President. Everybody has
read the letter. Everybody understands
the lay of the land. The road to the
Roosevelt camp is plainly marked. but so
far 1t Is not choked with host hurrying
for political salvation. In many places
II Is as empty and as quiet as q country
lane.
An explanation offered is that the road
would be choked If tho people were free
to move as they desire. But, it Is COM
planned, they are not. They are restrained
by the Vaccinations OF the rascally poll
ticians. All sorts Of obstacles are being
put in their way. Remove these; give the
people a chance to show what their feel
ings are and where their hearts are. and
the result at Chicago will be determined
before the convention meets. Mr.. Roose-
Welt will be first, and Mr.. Taft nowhere.
Mr.. Roosevelt himself has accepted this
view of the matter. Whether his friends
had difficulty In persuading him Is a ques-
ton. Probably not. He believes in him.
self, and the large measure OF success he
has achieved In politics warrants that.
Moreover, we are all apt to believe what
we want to believe. and Mr.. Roosevelt
wants to believe that he is absolutely
necessary to his party and the country
at this time.
But what q spectacle that will be II
Mr.. Roosevelt arms himself and goes
forth to clear the road Of these 0bstruc-
tons. Think of him, big stick in hand.

ever he sees one! Think OF the zeet with
which he will enter upon the task!
For. be 1t remembered. Mr.. Roosevelt
IL q politician himself. familiar with the
trade. and mighty handy with his tools.
His work il known from ocean to ocean
He has frequently been acclaimed the
smartest man in the business.
Only four years ago-at about this
time-Mr. Roosevelt was under the very
charges he and his friends arc now bring
ing against others. 1t was asserted that.
with the aid of oficeholders and office
seekers, he was holding the road against
free movement Of the people; that, II
permitted to follow their own inclinations.
the people would reject Mr.. Roosevelt's
program.
What explanation will MI. Roosevelt

point? He is now in the full tide OF ex-
planning. and while he has his hand In
