Changing Worlds Climates.

The plan for the construction of n ietty
which would separate the gulf stream
from the Labrador current and build I'D
above the Grand Bank peninsula of
land extending 100 miles into the ocean
and tapering from about forty miles in
width at the shore end to three miles
at its easterly extremity, and covering
an area of more than 600 miles is one
of the magnificent ideas of the times. It
may be great romance, a splendid bit
of imagination, or it. may be a possible
engineering problem. 1t is dangerous in
the twentieth century To say that any
thing is impossible
The Grand Bank, a circular marine
plateau about 3oo miles in diameter, with
about 80 feet of water over it. rises
from great ocean depths. The gulf stream
flowing northeast and the Labrador cur
rent flowing southwest meet there 1t

gulf stream could carry its full flow of
warmth to northern Europe there would
be little ice and snow i'll that region. and
if the Labrador current could carry its

Improve the Suburbs.

VI this season interest is already turn

bearing on suburban life. with pictures of
suburban homes and suggestions on sub
urban gardening and gardens An in

to be seeking and making homes for
themselves where at moderate cost they
NAV have bit of land for lawn or roses
or for trees-a little private park where
the breezes are freer and the sunshine

Business and business prospects and
erowing population make city land val

The environments of Washington are
very beautiful. Hills and vast stretches

except where the broad. historic river
flows away 10 the southwark. Along the
D-NS mat rise abruptly from the river

the rich alluvial lands along the river
southwark are thousands of prospects of
rare breadth and beauty. North of the
city the country rises in picturesque
ridges and drops into broad and quiet
valleys The city is girdled by suburbs.
and the settlements of men who spend
their earning hours in office and work
shop in the city reach away for con-
siderable distance.
The suburban area OF Washington is
large and lovely. Many of the suburbs

might be and as they ought to be. and

fed The correction of this rests with

The Case of Miss Houghton.

The proposition advanced in the House
of Representatives to increase from $4,000
to $1,000 the payment to Miss Alice V.
Houghton. the census Office employee who
was painfully and permanently injured
while at her work, deserves favorable
consideration. When the matter was
brought to the attention of the Senate
that body very promptly appropriated
S., 600 for the relief of the young woman
and a number of senators expressed the
belief that the amount should be larger.
The House will probably allow the in
crease contemplated in the proposal or
Representative Cantrll. Miss Houghton
was injured in a government workshop
while in the performance of her duties.
The doctrine of liability of employers
holds good against the government as
against private employers, and indeed In
the matter of injury to employees the
government should set good example
for promptness and generosity.

THE Wilson Men. ="

AS pie day" approaches the Wilson men
are organizing. Not those who became
Wilson men after the Baltimore conven-
ton. But the real article. The men who
were early vocal in praises of Mr.. Wilson;
who withstood the shock of the Watterson-
Harvey assault; who remained firm dur
ing the period when Mr.. Clark was max
ing such extraordinary progress 1t looked
as if nothing could stop him.
1t appears that in number of states
where Clark. or Harmon or Underwood
sentiment prevailed there were Wilson
men who could not be lured from their
favorite. Many of the usual arts were
tried, but all failed. The Wilsonites re-
jected all overtures. Their hearts contin-
ued to beat for Wilson against all sugges-
tons that if Wilson lost it might be awk-
ward for them If the democratic nominee
won at the polls.
But Mr.. Wilson won, both at the con-
vention and at the polls. and now these
original and faithful followers want their
record remembered. They think they
should be permitted to present their own
applications. for office. and not be re-
quired to ask for recognition through the
medium of men who fought Mr.. Wilson
vention period. AS they view the matter.
they should have the preference, the right
of way, in their respective states.
1t is not a new proposition. Other
Presidents have encountered it and some
been much embarrassed by it. Gen. Har-
risOn in 1889 was greatly embarrassed by
it, and part of the unpopularity he suf-
fered from in his race for reelection was
traceable to his distribution of patronage
in states where his friends had been in
the minority in the republican divisions
over the question of the candidate in
1883. Some of those friends complained
that he had sighted them in favor of
those they had antagoniZed in his behalf ;
that he had seemed more anxious to pla-
cate enemies than reward and hold
friends. Not all the complaints were just,
but all had more or less effect on Gen.
Harrison's second candidacy, which
failed.
How will Mr.. Wilson act? In a state
where prior to the Baltimore convention
the party organization was anti-Wilson,
and that organization now recommends
as against Wilson man a man of its
own, which man will he take? The one
who fought for, or the one who fought
against him at a time when his fortunes
were in the balance? In other words
Will the organization or the individual
! triumph? VIII Mr. Wilson incur the criti-
cism that Gen. Harrison did. and appear
/ to placate his enemies rather than reward
and hold his friends?

scheme. County historians have been
relatively few in those counties bordering
the Potomac river Church historians who
have attacked the problem of church and
parish history have been embarrassed by
lack of records.
This deficiency of early records results
from a number of causes. Probably the
most important of these is that the early
settlers in the Potomac valley were not
a writing people and certainly not a book
ish people. y large number of the early
immigrants were English of education and
culture, Irish of culture and faction and
Scotch of trade and commercial tend
encies. The English ard irish were
strong on field sports and in developing
their estates. bat We're not strong on writ
ing. The Scotch were at first Intent on
trading, and then with their English and
Irish cousins took to raising crops or
conducting business in the Potomac val
ley settlements. 1t was new world. and
these men were busy making history and
not in recording it.
The destruction of such records as were
left by these early people has been great
and deplorablc. The people did not think
i'm very numerous instances of the inter-
est which these records would be to peo-
pie who would come after them two or
three centuries. With these pioneers the
present was pressing. the future was too
remote to be thought of and the past was
too recent to be impressive. Houses were
generally of wood. and family records

Churches and colIrt bO,lSeS if their walls

standing. Fire has at one time an

ords have gone with them. Even when
the churches were of brick the rectOrs
houses, in which the parish records were
kept, perhaps would be of wood, and in
time these burned down. During the CEN

but 1t seems to be more a European and
South American question than one d.
rectly concerning the United States. The
climate of the United States Is reason
ably satisfactory except on inauguration
day, and it is not believed that any dam
of the sea or shifting of ocean currents
would be influential enough to make the
weather in Washington reliable on the
4th of March.
To have the government regulate the
Labrador current so that the gulf stream
may flow uncooled to Europe is to ex-
tend greatly the theory of government
control. The gulf stream. where it be-
comes chilled by the Labrador current.
has passed beyond the jurisdiction of even
the House of Representatives. II it
should flow on unmolested by the Labra-
dor current it might change conditions
in Europe. Palms might spring up along
the coast OF Norway, orange blossoms
might watt their fragrance DER Spitzber-
gen or Franz Josef Land. and Nova
Zembla might raise tabasco, revolutions
and bananas Successful candidates
might go to Iceland instead of to Ber-
muda, but this slight change of climate
would concern Europe instead of the
United States. And if the Labrador cur
rent should be forced down to the tropics
would not the natives there have to throw
away their palm-leaf fans and put on
ear muffs, and might not cocoanut groves
be buried in snowbanks?
Once there was a proposition to turn
the Japan current. into the Arctic ocean

coast of northern Africa and let the deep

fell through.
