The Capitol Station Plaza.

The House yesterday refused to repeal
the law which provides for the acquisi-
ton Of the land lying between the Capt.
tol and the Union Station plaza, to in
crease the park setting Of the federal
statehouse. This Is gratifying. though IT
was TO have been expected that no such
backward step would be taken. 1t Is OBJ
vious TO any one who examines the
ground In that locality that exceptional
opportunity is offered there for a bit of
park creation work certain to add greatly
to the effectiveness and impressiveness
of the capital. AS The Star pointed out
several years ago. as soon as the Union
station site was selected, IL would be q
serious misfortune II the government did
not take this land and thereby link the
monumental terminal building with its
noble group at the crest Of the hill con-
stituting the legislative center Of the
country The proceedings along this line
have been Ieisurely. but have given as
surance of satisfactory developments, and
Congress now stands committed to the
policy of gradually acquiring all this land.
II is hardly TO be expected that the
House would reverse this policy upon SO
casual demand as that which it was
called upon TO vote down Friday.
No broad. consistent treatment Of this
area can DE undertaken until all Is secured
fact that should have induced Congress
20 start the process of acquisition on the
basis OF one transaction instead Of sew
eral. However. the present outlook for
changing the policy Is not bright, and
the hope Is 70 be entertained that the
government will continue TO appropriate
and that the condemnation proceedings
will be pressed without delay. and that
each parcel as it is bought will be pre-
pared as far as possible for the ultimate
park treatment that will make of the
northern fronting Of the Capitol the most
impressive stretch OF park area in this
hemisphere.

Still, now that Judge Parker was aspir-
ing to leadership himself. Mr.. Bryan OBJ
jected. He did SO because he had reason
to believe that Wall street was supporting
the Parker boom: and anybody that Wall
street favored Mr.. Bryan most distinctly
did not favor But Wall street proved too
much for Mr.. Bryan at st. Louis, and the
telegram sent by Judge Parker to the con-
vention interpreting the money plank OF
the platform was accepted by great
many Bryanites as proof of the correct
ness of Mr.. Bryan's appraisement OF
matters.
After his defeat for President, Judge
Parker opened q law Office in New YORK
city. and accepted fees. of course. as
they came along. The term is used-par-
ticularly in politics-a little loosely. but in
popular parlance he became a corporation
lawyer Corporations need the best legal
advice obtainable. have the price, and so
able and eminent a practitioner as Judge
Parker could not escape some service 1or
them.
More than ever then. Judge Parker. IL
stands to reason, must be objectionable
to Mr.. Bryan. He stands now more than
ever for things and influences against
which Mr.. Bryan has been battling for
sixteen years. He had not been wall
street Judge. but Wall street favored him
for President. So in 1904, on that ground.
Mr.. Bryan planted himself in opposition.
The ground being broader at this time,
Mr.. Bryan's opposition Is the stouter.
The two men really are very far apart.
No keynote speech that would voice the
real views of Judge Parker would chord
with any platform that Mr.. Bryan would
write. In Mr. Bryan's opinion. Judge
Parker is a reactionary. In Judge Par
ker's opinion. Mr.. Bryan is a radical
more populist than democrat And yet.

to stamp it out should be continuously
persistent. It is a pernicious and cor
roding practice. that injuriously affects
a great number Of people. 1t may be true
that IL the small bettor cannot place his
money on horse races through the me-
dunn of handbooks he will manage to bet
on some other proposition. But this does
not justify laxity in enforcing the law.
AS matter of fact, the gambling habit
has grown largely because of this spirit
of easy tolerance that has prevailed here
tofore on the part Of communities A
very great saving of money has been eff
fected for Washington during the past
few years by the crusade against hand
book gambling. which was started through
the discovery that an official in District
government employ had been led into en-
bezzlement by his losses at the race
tracks.

these cases have lately been thus disposed

Second and Last Call to Dinner.

And go Mr.. Roosevelt wants 10 De
called again The first call has been
defeated by the rascally politicians. On
the second trial he wants the people to
speak so loudly and emphatically their
wishes Will be obeyed.
Very well. This will give opportunity
for fun investigation and expose Of the
first call. Who organized It? For what
real purpose or purposes? Who financed
tho undertaking? What sums were neces-
sary. and who subscribed them? Who
disbursed the money? Where did the coin
prove to be most popular and effective?
How much of the call was spontaneous.
and how much labor1ously manufactured?
Then another line Of inquiry should be
pursued. Why were not these sinews OF
war available for Mr.. La Toilette? He
was fighting Mr.. Taft long before Mr..
Roosevelt SHE'D hts hat into tho ring He
began when the administration was still
young. And. once in action, he never let
up All through the debate in Congress
on the Payne bill, and after. he was the
leader OF the anti-Taft movement. Why
did not George W. Perkins and the other
angels ever bright and fair proffer their
assistance to the Wisconsin senator?
Why did not Ormsby McEarg put his
talents for promoting contests at the
service of the man who, while Mr.. Roose-
welt was soliciting support for his state
ticket in New York two years ago by in
dorsing Mr.. Taft and his work. was hold
ing the President up to distrust and
scorn?
Was IL because tho trusts felt they
could not do business with Mr.. La Fol-
lette? Did they fear that II he reached
the White House there would be no DIFF
ference so far as they were concerned be-
tween him and Mr.. Taft? And did they
feel that with Mr.. Roosevelt again on
deck they could do business? Were
they encouraged by tho admission Mr..
Roosevelt had made in an emergency to
q famous man Of the money world that
he. Roosevelt, was practical man?
Really there are interesting features
about this first call. which has failed.
which stir curiosity1whtch mako q Mis-
sourian Of every man. We all want to be
shown. Nothing Is palmer today than
that this first call was largely bunco. A
so-called uprising Of tho people against
the bosses and tho 'tnterestS' was en-
gfneered by bosses and interests them
selves. Behind the Roosevelt mask stood
many OF the very agencies that were be-
ing tnveighed against. Soak EN-. Teddy
was an ADMIRATION which tdclled the
worst of the bosses and the most power
full and predatory Of the interests nearly
to death. They bent. and Rugged them
selves and one another, In the mirth pro-
voked.

Bryan and Parker.

OF course Mr.. Bryan objects TO Judge
Parker for keynoter at Baltimore. Why
not? What has happened since 1904 to
change Mr.. Bryans opinion as to what
Judge Parker stands for? On the other

The Thaw Scandal.
From tie New York Times

There seems to be no chance Of his
release. The question is. How long can
the efforts to release him be permitted
to receive tho attention Of the courts
to the neglect or delay Of other bust
ness OF more importance? For how
many years are We to have the Thaw
case periodically reopened, in futile
hearings, and the revolving facts spread
before the people? Clearly such hearings
cannot be held In secrecy. The public
has a right to know everything that is
done to set this dangerous man free, and
all that is done to keep him in durance
Meanwhile, quite apart from the testi-
mony, the moral influence Of such pro-
ceedings on the community is very bad.
The power Of money thus to misuse the
machinery Of justice is discreditable to
the state.
