For Park Expansion.
Senator MARITIME promised that he
would do all in his power to bring about
the connection of Rocn Greek Park and
Potomac Park. and also that he would
work in the interests of the proposed Nc
Clellan Park, for which he has introduced
a bill
Senator Pomerene promised TO give his
support to measures in the interest OF in
creased parks for the District. as did
Representative Murray. Senator Ponce
rene said i'm part:
II do not believe that the public gem
orally appreciates the vaiue of a park
system. ! do not think that there is any
thing quite so valuable in the mainte-
nance OF good oder and good citizenship
as splendid parks I'm our centers Of popu-
lation.
About the city of Washington you
have splendid opportunities. Nature has
done much for your city. IL you viii re-
tain the beauties which have been given
you, you will be serving yourselves and
posterity.
How are We to do this? BY purchase?
Yes. perhaps BY condemnation? III we
must. Bear i'm mind that these parks at
one time were al. public domain.
Now this land is i'm part. in fact. most OF
ii, private domain. But If We cannot get
ii by purchase. let us exercise the right
of eminent domain, that We may re-
tain some of these beauty spots for the
benefit of all our country. And to that
end 1 pledge myself TO any reasonable

Philadelphia said that the present con-
dition of Pennsylvania avenue is dis

Washington of a great commercial mu-

Ought to Buy Property.

Whether this is as much development
as ought to be 1 am not prepared to say,
but certainly If we accomplish that We
are making progress. We ought to buy
all the property we can in the neighbor-
hood of Rock Creek Park. 1t grows
more valuable each year. If We do not
buy it row it is going to cost us double
when We do buy 1T.
I'm connection with this. We ought to
go ahead and construct the new buildings
projected. Why should we delay? We
are paying rent now. The State. War and
Navy building is not much more than big
enough for the War Department There
ought to be State Department building
and there ought to be Navy Depart
ment building. although l believe that un-
der the present plan the Navy Depart
ment and the War Department are to be
confined TO the present building, and that
We are to have three separate buildings,
the Department of Justice, the Depart
ment of Commerce and Labor and the
State Department. We have had beauti-
full plans made for them. All that we need
now is congressional authority to extend
the sites out to the line of the National
Museum in the Mall. when we shall have
room for those three buildings.
Questions Asked.
''Why should we not go ahead and build
them? Can anybody tell? Is il likely
that We shall be able to build them any
cheaper in the future? Will not it add
to the beauty of the city to have them?
When those improvements are made, will
not every man who looks at them feel
prouder on account Of them? Why
Should we give that benefit to our grand

Before large audience of Washington
business men and leaders of the CONNER
cial world from all parts of the country.

Unjust to People.
The President declared that it was I'M
just to the people of the District. and
also to the people OF the country. whose

Union Label Is Adopted
By Co m Flake Company

Battle Creek, MTch., Dec. AT a
conference of the LIS sales agents of
the Kellogg Toasted Corn Flake COM
pany, Battle Creek, Mich, represent
ing every section of the United States,
Monday, it was unanimously voted that
the union label should appear on every
package of the food made by the con-
Germ.
The question was discussed al
length by the agents and al the close
of the discussion. and following the
vote the management announced that
lit had decided some time ago to man
ufacture its own cartoons and that
each will bear the union label and be
made by union labor.
The company is one Of the largest
cereal concerns in the country and
the action is significant, ais more than
sc, 900, 900 of packages are distributed
annually.
The action in thus indorsing the
union label is especially interesting in
view of the extreme antagonism which
exists against organized labor by the
Post company, which Is also located
in Battle Creek. f.
Union Halter Post has made strenu-
GUS Advertising campaigns against or
gained labor through editorials in the
capitalist press throughout the coun,
try. He has on one occasion endeav-
ored to institute an oranization of his
own among his employees, which lasted
| but short time. =,
The action of the Kellogg company
will undoubtedly put a crimp in Posts
business, as organized labor will come
to the aid of the union concern and
epatronize union-made products.
Post has made every endeavor to
make Battle Creek an open town, but
this move on the part of the Kellogg
conSern will kill Posts hobby.
