The Boy Scouts.

A word of praise for the Boy Scouts
who did duty yesterday and the day
before along the line of march, They
did good work, and best of all they did
it cheerfully and eagerly. They were
ION the job" from early hours and they
served as assistant policemen. as mes
sengers. and even, in some instances, as
nurses for children whose mothers were
caught in the crowd and jostled. They
were polite attentive and in multi
tude of ways helpful to everybody.
They gave information intelligently
and when occasion arose lent hand on
the ropes or in the removal of Obstruc
tions. II their services during the two
days could be measured in total it
would be found that they reached a
point OF magnitude and real value. But
best of all was the spirit in which these
boys discharged their responsibilities.
They regarded themselves as hOnored
by their assignments, however humble
they were, and showed themselves
capable of prompt and unquestioning
obedience. The Boy Scout movement
stands for discipline, and to the extent
to which this is effective it is a benefi-
cent wholesome influence in any COM
munity. The boys who were on duty
Monday and Tuesday wearing the
brown uniforms of this organization
proved that il is worthy of the hearth
est support of all Washingtonians.

which states the value OF the coin is

such possibility suggests itself now in
the case of the Indian and buffalo"

less like coin than a medal. But as
long as it is worth five cents, according
to the government stamp, it will pass
for that amount whatever may be the
artistic consideration involved.

A Custom Restored.

Comparisons, sometimes REGARDED as
odious, are occasionally instructive and
justified. For instance. what more eff
fective contrast than that between the
ex-presidential departure from Washing
ton March 4. 1909 and that of March A.
1918? The one was a hurried scramble
out of town. without regard for prece-
dent. The other was dignified, courte-
Gus. with consideration for the tradi-
tions and for the American love of
Gameness. Four years ago there was
no partisan difference between the in
coming and the outgoing Presidents to
warrant failure on the latter's part to
shrink from association with the former
after the actual oath taking This year
the two who rode up Pennsylvania avenue
together after the ceremony at the Capt.
tol were antagonists in the late cam
paign, the success of the one meaning
the defeat of the other. Yet they rode
as friends. and the presence in the car
riage of the former President in no de-
gree detracted from the triumph of the
new one, nor did the association lessen
public regard for the old one, but rather
increased il. 1t is a happy restoration
or an honored custom that Mr.. Taft has
effected by his manly acceptance of the
situation in broad spirit.

Changed and Changing Washington.

Those who are coming To Washington
for the first Inauguration ceremonies they
have witnessed since those OF President
Cleveland in 1893 are finding a vastly
changed city, widely extended In all di-
rections in it's suburban growth, better
equipped as to its public buildings and
particularly its business establishments.
with a rich enlargement of its array of
impressive private dwellings. In some
aspects, however, 1t Is unchanged. Its
lamentable aspects are in some cases still
in evidence, as a result of congressional
inaction upon propositions designed for
the Improvement of the capital. The
area OF public reservations has been ex-
tended through the partial completion of
Potomac Park. Rock Creek Park has
been brought into use. There still re-
mains to be effected the union of Rock
Creek and Potomac parks through the
acquisition of a comparatively small strip
of land, provision for which is made by
the Senate amendment to- an appropria-
ton bill now pending. One of the most
notable additions to the city's outfit in
these twenty years is the Union station,

Seeing Washington.

Those who came 10 Washington to see
the inaugural parade and are not in "a
hurry to return home now have an op-
portunity to get acquainted with WASH

more to see than a mere procession of

in truth almost waste OF time and
money to come here simply for the few
hours OF the inaugural ceremonies. A
visit to Washington ought to last at least
three days, and for anything like a sur

The Cabinet.

It would not be correct 20 say that Mr.
BRYAN is the cabinet and the cabinet Mr..
Bryan but il is correct TO say that In
the award of the portfolio of the State
Department Mr. Wilson has signified
more fully than i'm all the other awards
the meaning of the new order of things.
Mr. Rrvan's name not only leads all the
rest but gives to them their value in the
equation.
The country was expecting some names
new to national life: and this time the
expected has happened. Only the names
of BRYAN. Lane. Burleson. Redfield and
Wilson arc associated with our recent ma
tional history The others are not un-
known for local achievements, but real
national opportunities come to them now
for the first time.
There was opposition 10 the selection OF
Mr.. Bryan. but. fortunately for him, it
was keyed 50 mistakenly it strengthened
him. if he ever needed strengthening. 1t
put Mr.. Wilson on his mettle, both as
man and as party leader. 1t sought to
make him both a coward and an migrate.
IL would have had him confess fear of
the man who had converted him to his
present line of thought. and turn his back
upon MS greatest DeUeidCtoI
Mr.. Wilson refused to play the role. He
knew his obligations to Mr.. Bryan, and
decided to acknowledge them in the most
signal way in his power. Had lie done
less he would have made false step
on the very threshold. and might have
stumbled all along his journey
Has he taken a risk? Only such as all
men take who choose advisers. He has
taken no greater risk than John Quincy
Adams did in 1875. when he called Henry
clay to the State Department. The argu-
ment against Mr.. Clay was in line eX-
actly with the argument employed against
Mr.. Bryan. Mr. Adams was warned
against Mr.. Clay, on the score that a
brilliant orator and agitator was not a
fit man to handle the delicate business
Of diplomacy. But Mr. Clay disappointed
his enemies. and succeeded In his Office.
Mr.. Bryan may do the same. AT any
rate. We shall probably see him little
sobered by his task, Mr.. Clay was. and
cutting OUT some of the more militant
processes which have marked his career
as political pathfinder
Predictions of trouble between Mr. Will
son and Mr.. Bryan are freely made. They
ere too mettled. we are told. to work
well i'm harness together. But, mettled
as they are. they should see the necessity
Of cooperation, and what would inevita-
bly, follow kick over the traces; and
probably they will see it, These very
predictions-issuing in some cases from
fcrvent wishes-may help TO keep them
together.
And so the start is made. 1t was
Bryansm that won in November, and
surely nothing could be more appropriate
or logical than that the author should
figure prominently i'm the application of it
10 the affairs of the government.
