ingtonians Are on View at
the Corooran.

The twenty-frst annual exhibition Of
the Society Of Washington Artists opened

lery last night before q distinguished
gathering invited 10 the reception and
private view. It was the most repre-
| sentative assemblage OF the art elements
Of the city seen this season.
The exhibit this season contains no
one predominating feature. and no one
artist has succeeded IN pushing his fel-
lows into the background. There Is a
democracy of talent on view. Richard
N. Brooke, president Of the society. has
contributed five canvases which were
painted last summer on the Massachu-
sets coast. The paintings show the
Gloucester harbor, the Cape Ann shore.
and other picturesque spots In this ter
ritory. Miss Bertha E. Perrie also cons
tributes canvases of the same bleak

coran school. Il distinguished with three
excellent landscapes. all In his we'll
known style. His work shows clarity OF
style combined with genuine feeling for
the broader aspects Of nature. Three
paintings Of widely diversified style are
contributed by Lucien W. Powell The
first il a picture Of the Grand Canyon OF
Arizona, second OF a marriage fete AZ
Venice. and the third Is Athens seen
across the plain. They demonstrate the
catholicity of taste and perception pos
sessed by the artist.
The vice president OF the society,
William P. Silva. has painted some de-
lightfuI Southern landscapes in q SYM
pathetic manner. and James Henry
Moser. whose reputation as q water
colorist exceeds that as an oil painter,

scapes, which have won immediate pop
ularity.
Max weyrs delightful landscapes are
again in evidence, one OF the Potomac
marshes being particularly satisfactory.
La Grand Johnston's work again wins
favor. Mrs. Bush Brown is represented

the Hebrew congregations of Washing
ton, beginning Tomorrow evening, when

COLLEGE WOMEN
PLAN LONG JAUNT
Will Take Moonlight Walk Through
Chevy Chase and Rock
Creek Park.

A cross-country walk which a group
OF college women are planning leads to
the impression that the backbone OF win
ter is at last broken. The witching
moonlight among the sycamores and
NAPLES has been invoked by the pedes-
TRANS. Half-past o'clock Is the time
and the Loop is the place. The party.
consisting of one or more sections OF
the College Women's Club. will proceed
to Chevy Chase Circle. then walk down
Patterson street to Broad Branch road,
thence TO Rock Creek Park and Pierce's
mill.
Though the time planned is April ], It
f. no April fool affair. Other walks will
follow later. Country excursions Of this
character by moonlight are a distinct
innovation among Washington women.
The last of the seasons afternoon teas
held under the auspices OF the society
was given last week. with Mrs. Willis
Rice's section as hostesses. The club
will give a banquet within the next few
weeks. at which a number Of prominent
society women, including Mrs. Champ
Clark, Mrs. Robert NJ. La Toilette, and
Mrs. E. Dana Durand, will speak.

Flooded Roads

When all is said and done the legis- lative work that really counts is that dealing with the homely subjects con- nected with everyday affairs. At the present session much has been heard about the recall of federal judges, the abolition of the commerce court and other matters about which the legis- lature can do absolutely nothing. And now that the lawmakers have relieved their minds on those subjects it is a good time to get to work on matters that come within their province.
 And in this connection it is proper to say that a bill just introduced by Senator Wood of this county, is one of the most useful measures that has yet come before the legislature. This is the bill designed to prevent the flooding of roads.
 This bill is rather modest in it's scope. it is true: but at the same time it is designed to prevent q vast amount of annoyance It is designed to contribute to the convenience of q large number of people. There should be no question but it's objects should be carried out
 No person who has occasion to drive over the roads in the vicinity of Phoenix but can testify to the incon- venience that comes from flooded highways. And no one but knows this is a condition that can be reme- died with small difficulty.
 It is simply question of provid- ing adequate ditches for the waste water There will be some labor in volved in the construction of these ditches; also. there will probably be some expense But flooded roads are an expense to the public all the time. And they ought not be permitted.
 It is understood the present law is entirely inadequate, so it is time a new one should be enacted. If the legislature will, without unnecessary delay, enact measure that will meet the demands of the occasion it will be entitled to d vote of thanks on the part of the public.

Speaker CIark's Triumph

Indications are that Speaker Champ Clark won even d more decided :. ic- tory in the Illinois primary than did the man who got the majority repnb- lican vote.
 While President Taft was defeated by about 10000 for the republican nomination in Illinois, Mir. Clark seems to have outdistanced Governor Wilson by about 10000
 These results put new life into both the republican and democratic races, and insure greater interest in the contests from this time on. There mad been q temporary Hull, but the Illinois results came as startling surprise. and will lend renewed inter est to the supporters of all the prom inent candidates
 Every day from now on will height en the interest in the results of the Baltimore and Chicago conventions.

The Return of Wu

The official confirmation of the ru-
 mors that Wu Ting fang is to return
 to Washington for the third time as the representative of his country will
 he gladly received. With perhaps the single exception of Ambassador Bryce. no diplomat from abroad in recent years has so won place in the inter
 est and esteem of the American peo-
 pie as Minister Wu. During his serV-
 ice from 1897 to 1902 he mingled so
 freely with the public and was so ire
 quently in evidence. either by pun
 gent after dinner talks, gleams of eH-
 quisite wit or a seemingly unsuitable capacity as questioner, that we came to regard him as a sort of na-
 tionai institution. one of ourselves,
 or. as one eulogist put it. ''a sood
 American" This reputation was en-
 hanced by his service a few years
 later and it was with genuine regret that Americans learned of his rec@ll N ltn the utNtloplllelI ol tlle ' -ll- nese revolution everybody watched
 curiously for the reappearance of Wu
 and the part he would play. It is not too much to say that his dec'ara-
 ton for the republic was the first thing that led many Americans to consider the revolution seriously. They had faith in Wu's ability to gauge conditions. His subsequent part in representing the embryo re- public in it's foreign relations was un- doubtedly of great service, and in the negotiations between the revolution ists and Premier Yuan he was an adroit factor His return to Wash 1 fngton may therefore be taken IS q personal compliment to Americals : He could probably have had high
 honors at home. but he preferred tt
 redeem his promise to come Da K He has been a distinguished col 1 tributor to the gaiety of the nation and d consistent promoter of soot feeling and mutual interest betw.cr his countrymen and our own.

Another Vindicatlon

Perhaps Senator LOrimer may eX- plain the overwhelming repudiation of his ambition to be state leader of the Illinois republication to the enforced engagement of his democratic friends in their own primaries It will be re- called that it was their assistance that gave him his scat in the senate, an assistance which he attributed to their personal sense of obligation 10 himself rather than to hope for rar- ticipation in legislative jackpots or recent primary, torn betwixt love and duty. they were compelled in self preservation to confine their activities to the democratic side, where the fight between the Harrison Hearst and Roger Sullivan factions was as en- crossing as the combat on the repub- lican side between the Lorimer crowd and its opponents. The result was the general rejection of Lorimer's clam to control of the republican state or Ganization, a rejection 50 complete that but one congressional district was recorded for him.
 It may be unfair to compare the verdict of his fellow republicans of Illinois with the vindication given to him by his colleagues in the senate.
