gle structures as in other cities. Thus
there is really only one yard from
street to street. and it should be treated
singly and not as a group of detached
elements. On the individual basis of
yard planting a spotted effect is pro-
duced, in which. however we'll arranged
single yard may be. 1T loses its eff
fectiveness through conflicts with neigh
bors and lack of any harmony of de-
sign. With the entire lawn space from
one end of row to another treated as a
single garden in every street Washington
will become the most beautiful city in
the world In practically all parts of the
city the blocks lend themselves to this
treatment. and it is to be hoped that these
pioneers of Lamont street between 18th
and 18th will be followed in their good
work by others
Cooperative planting of this kind can
be made economical as well as effective
With probably less expenditure of
money than under the individual system
of treatment the block system of city
gardening can be carried TO much high
er state of attractiveness. This is we'll
worth efforts al organization on the part
of all the people of Washington.

Around the Corner.

Just around the corner there is music
soft and sweet;
The sunbeams holiday go dancing
down the street.
You see path where blossoms bend to
greet you on your way
Through the misty lanes of April to the
splendors of the May
Though the sullen shadows linger you
can sing a little song
While you're trudging on your journey,
which will not be very long;
Just around the corner skies are smilins
warm and blue
The corner of Contentment street and
Lazy avenue.
There the butterflies are neighbors and the
honeybees are friends,
And the wind is signing comfort where
the weeping willow bends.
The clumsy tortoise plods along, mol
cares where he may roam,
And when he's scared or weary shuts his
shell and calls it home.
The grasses wave in pillows like the flow
ing of the sea.
And the birds are busy nesting, way uI
yonder in the tree;
They are just around the corner, 'mongst
the perfumes and the dew.
The corner of Contentment street and
Lazy avenue.

Campaign for Fewer Accidents
,om the Chicago Record Herald

From the Chicago Record Herald.
A bulletin that has just been issued by
one of the railroads running out of Chi
cago calls attention to the Importance OF
the safety first plan which employees
are urged to adopt in connection with
their daily duties. 1t is pointed out that
of the $4,000 men who are killed in indus
trial accidents in the United States every
year few are directors or officers. The
workmen are the victims in almost all
cases, and it is contended that most OF
these accidents are due to carelesSness or
to bad judgment. A fewer accidents"
campaign is being waged in many parts
of the country and there is a probability
that it will become nationwide. 1t is
proposed to have the Boy Scouts enlist
i'm the work of teaching people how to
avoid danger on railroads In shops and
in other places where cafelessness and
the disposition to take chances so often
prove to be disastrous. Motion pictures
also are likely to be used in illustrating
the folly of indulging in needless hazards.
and lecturers may be called upon to give
| to young people the instructions they too
often fail to receive at home regarding
| the danger of jumping upon moving cars.
walking upon railroad tracks and engag-
| ing in other foolish ventures. Systematic
efforts to educate people out Of the habit
! Of carelessness at work or play, or in
| their daily habits, cannot be undertaken
| too early or pursued too earnestly.

Scholarly and Capable Presidents.

Speaking al Jefferson day banquet in
this town Monday night, Senator Williams
said
most capable President that has stepped
into the White House since Thomas JEFF
ferson stepped out.
High praise Too high? Probably
Mn Wilson is a scholarly man. He has
passed his days in an atmosphere of
scholarship He has read widely. and
written number of books. AS an essay
list and historian he ranks well. His
public addresses show a familiarity with
great topics and the public performances
of great men who have dealt with them.
But Madison was a scholarly man, and
wonder at college. He went through
Princeton with flying coors, and re
manned a year for the purpose of study
ing Hebrew. And what writer he
was. :
Monroe was scholarly man-one of the
intellectual giants of his day. He knew
the pick of the scholarly world al home,
and in both England and France where
he saw service in diplomatic capacity.
John Quincy Adams possessed scholar
ship of very high order Busy as he
was with everyday politics. he never lost
his interest in books the classics pre-
ferred
Garfield was so popular and effective as
an orator and so successful in politics,
his scholarship does not figure in the
general appraisement of him. But he had
scholarship. and delighted in the society
of scholars. He wrote no books. probably
for want of time. But. as Ii Hung Chang
nfJ ;hro, h.
many books lin his head
Mr.. Wilson's capacity for the duties he
has undertaken cannot be stated now
The proof of the pudding is in the eating.
The country is just sitting down to the
table with Mr.. Wilson the principal
dish. There have been some capable
Presidents since Jefferson. Madison.
Monroe, Adams. Jackson, Lincoln and
Mckinley have undisputed places on the
list Jackson and Lincoln performed
great services. and rose to great heights
If Mr.. Wilson surpasses them he will
have to hump himself.
1t is of interest to remember that no
one of the three men who figure most
eminently in White House history was
scholar. No one was college bred. Wash
ington had only scant schooling, and
Jackson and Lincoln next to none at ALL
OF the three only Lincoln wrote correctly
and he not only correctly but sublmely.
At Gettysburg he spoke in the company
of Edward Everett the most accom-
plished scholar in American politics of
that day. and topped him completely.
But Washington and Jackson and Lin
coin were great executives. and two Of
them appeared after Jefferson stepped
out of the White House.

The Thirteenth Massachusetts,.

Mr. Wilson was justified last night in
leaving his box at the play long enough
to telegraph congra tulations to the demo-
crat who had won the race Yesterday in
the thirteenth Massachusetts congress
sional district In the circumstances it
was notable victory.
Normally. the district is heavily re-
publican John W. Weeks for repre-
sentative in the Sixty-first Congress had
nearly ten thousand votes the best of the
poll. The republicans then We're united.
Last November. with the republicans d.
neutrality-suspicious. and bull moosers at
daggers drawn-Mr. Weeks still had
twenty odd hundred the best of the poll
But Yesterday a democrat had forty
one hundred the best of the poll, after a
stirring canvass in which Mr.. Weeks.
now a senator. participated. The repub-
leans had good candidate, and eXerted
themselves in his behalf.
All three parties poIled less votes yes
terday than N 1912. the republicans by
1.09o. the democrats by $50 and the pro-
gressives by la, The republican loss
was plainly the result of "stay-at-
home" disposition rather than CONVEX
sion 10 another side If it had been
only m the same proportion as the demo-
cratic shrinkage Mr.. Weeks successor
would have been republican.
The Underwood tariff bill was discussed
in all of its phases. 1t is an interesting
measure in Massachusetts, where manu-
featuring plants are numerous. Capital in
enormous sums is invested. and labor in
very large numbers is employed And
the Underwood revision cuts Bay state
productions heavily.
Still. the republicans and the bull
moosers continued their cut-throat strife.
Again they divided at the polls and the
democratic candidate walked through to
victory. Both proclaimed themselves for
protection. and. lad they united. pro-
tection;st would lave been elected Their
combined vote was some fifteen hundred
greater than that of the democrat.
While this sort of thing keeps up the
democrats will be entitled to congratula-
tons. They have only to sit tight. and
let the opposition fight one another. This
democratic representative from a repub-
lican district will not be weakened in his
Office because he failed to poll a ma
jority of the districts votes. Mr.. Will
son is "a minority President. but is ex-
ercising Very considerable influence
How long will this sort of thing keep
up? Who may say? The leading bull
moosers are together In New York for
two-day session. planning to extend
their work and strengthen themselves
where already strong. George w. Per-
kins. the archangej ever bright and fair,
is present. The declaration is that the
bull moosers have just begun to fight. If
such is the case, and they prefer demo-
crat to republican in office. and con-
tinue to assist the democrats, another
democratic House. unless the coming
tariff revision produces a widespread re-
volt against the party in power, would
appear to be likely.
Taken altogether, it is a mixed state
of affairs. well calculated to give both
politicians and business men pause. 4
seer only can read the riddle; and seers
are scarce and silent these days.

Child Killing in the Streets.

The necessity of such a campaign of
warning and education i'm the dangers of
street use as The Star has been recently
conducting is tragically shown by the
killing yesterday of a child on 9TH sire ct
near l, as a result, evidently. of her fail
ure to heed the conditions before leaving
the curb. AS far as the facts are known
the little one ran across the street with
ing. and was struck and instantly killed.
Apparently no blame is to be attached to
the motorman. and this tragedy is to be
recorded as another of the unavoidable
accidents which are so shockingly numer-
Gus of record.
In this case the victim was not old
enough to reason out the dangers of
street use. 1t is for the instruction of lit
tie children largely that The Star has
been and is now pleading. and this sacri-
flee of life should be widely noted as
warning of what may happen any time
on any street in Washington on which
street cars are operated
Children are given to quick, darling
movements at play. and 1t is virtually i'm
possible at times for drivers, motorists
and chauffeurs to avoid them. They are
a constant menace to the lives of others,
for there are numerous recorded in
stances of motor cars being wrecked and
their passengers severely hurt in efforts
to avoid striking children who unexpe
edly appeared in the way. 1t is the i'm
perative duty of parents to warn and as
far as possible to keep children out of the
streets There are few cases in which
children need to get beyond the curb. OF
course, they are tempted upon the pave
ments by the broader spaces of the as
phait for their games. and occasionally
they are sent on errands into dangerous
conditions. Motormen and chauffeurs and
drivers must be especially careful to be
on the watch for children, and when any
of them appear ahead they should be

The Block System in City Gardens

If present plans are carried into effect
on one block at least in this city val
liable experiment will be tried this spring
in cooperative planting and yard i'm
provement Sixteen residents of Lamont
street have dubbed together to treat
their premises according to a definite
plan and have applied to the officers of
the Peoples Gardens Association for ad-
vice as TO the shrubs and flowers appro-
pirate for such a treatment. 1t is their
design to assemble vines, roses, IRIS
chry santhemums and evergreens to gain
the best possible effect when the block
is viewed as whole.
This is the ideal way TO make Wash
inston a garden city. Much better eff
fects can be obtained by treating blocks
as units. 1t. of course. requires Coop
Grafton, but no one can doubt the ad-
vantage of such system when the re-
suits show in lines of color and masses
OF foliage governed by the principle of
harmony that should obtain in any sys-
tenn Of planting, whether in a single piece
of property or group of properties
The householders in this block are to
be commended for their enterprise and
interest in this matter of making WASH
ington an attractive city. They received
their inspiration largely through the eff
forts of the Peoples Gardens Association.
A lantern slide lecture was delivered to
illustrate the general principles OF front
yard planting and later one of the officers
OF the association gave advice upon the
specific scheme of treating the varied
eoiors of house walls so as to give the
maximum of decorative effect. Now the
work is TO begin. and II will be well

Broad Men Make Cities.

From the Philadelphia Ledger
Every community has it's timid citi-
zens who hold up their hands when
any project larger than two by two is
placed before them. They are used TO
the old ways. Taxes are too high 1t
will never do to attempt so much.
They've been able to get along with
things as they are. and why should
they bother about new troubles?
1t happens that just now every city
has before it great programs Some
times we think our architects and our
experts on parks and planning are our
most unselfish and most progressive
benefactors. They give of their time
and genius with a generosity that is
munificent and seldom is there posi-
bility of personal reward. They see
with clear and noble vision. and they
want their cities to grow up to their
dreams. So in their public spirit they
make the pictures of what can be and
what should be.
These visions are always big. The
two by two minds cannot appreciate
them. for their eyes glued to the
tax rate. But it is bigness of plan
that leads to bigness in achievement.
and thus a city becomes great There
should be no fear of bigness in Phila-
delphia.
