from a point not far above the Aqueduct
bridge to an uncertain distance west.
Here and there these river camps have
become permanent Neutrality-suspicious.
where people dwell while all the twelve
months pass In summer these camps,
many of which are considerable colonies
of people, slowed away among the trees
and rocks. by the side of the rushing
water. are gay pictures. This camp life
has become feature of the Washington
summer and is becoming more conspic-
uous feature with each succeeding sum
mer. There are not many "ashingto-
mans who at one time or another have
not visited friends at these camps. and
the freedom, health and economy OF the
camp scheme make converts every year.
Most of these campers cannot afford ex-
tended vacations at a boarding place in
the mountains or at the seaside. They
cannot spend the spring, summer and
autumn months away from work So,
when the sun gets high and the flowers
bloom and the fish bite they pitch their
tents or open up their rustic homes in
these upstream camps, using the trolley
to and from their daily labor. The wife
and children live close to nature. 1t is
an idea that has great promise in It. If
one be not too full of pride and can be
happy in a humble cot there are few
city people who cannot afford a summer
home in the country. Up to the present
1t is the rocky. foaming reaches of the
Potomac that have made the strongest
appeal to summer campers. but the plan
would work as well among the hills, with
their woods and rills far back from the
river

Mr.. Wilson and Pennsylvania.

Will Mr.. Wilson speak for Mr.. Palmer
In Pennsylvania next fall? Mr.. Roose-
welt will speak for Mr.. Pinchot, and un-
doubtedly If any republican leader stood
out coucededly as that party's candidate
for President in 1916 he would speak for
MFR. Penrose. '-r
Mr.. Palmer is Wilson man through
and through. He was a Wilson boomer
at Baltimore. and later figured in the
speculation about the. cabinet For a
time he was the favorite guess for
Attorney General.
On the tariff question last year he sup
ported the Wilson program, though in
doing so he was challenging a policy that
had made Pennsylvania great, and was
still strong with the voters there. He
voted against protection in every sched-
ule of the Underwood bill raising the is
sue.
He stood with Mr.. Wilson on currency
revision. and the repeal of the canal
tolls exemption law. He sided with Mr..
Wilson as against both Mr.. Underwood
and the Baltimore platform on tolls.
He will follow Mr.. Wilson on the trust
question. soon to come to a vote in the
House. and on all other matters that
may occupy attention before adjourn
ment. In a word, Mr.. Palmer recog-
nizes Mr.. Wilson as the leader Of the
democratic party, and AZ such follows
him. He has not as yet opposed him in
anything.
For this reason Mr.. Wilson is greatly
interested in Mr.. Palmer's success. He
wants him in the Senate. feeling assured
that in Senator Palmer he would have
the same loyal friend he has found in
Representative Palmer.
On the stump in Pennsylvania Mr.. Will
son would be striking figure, challeng-
ing the opposition all along the line. He
would give to the Palmer candidacy a
distinction 1t could not otherwise hope
for. Great crowds would hear him, and
maybe an enormous turnout at the polls
of all parties be promoted. He would
help stir the state to the center.
1t is hardly likely that Mr.. Palmer
would have entered the race except for
the continuation Of the bull moose move
ment. His hope is that in the way Mr..
Wilson became President he may be-
come senator-marching through divid
ed opposition to the office.
Mr.. Palmer as senator through the
active aid thus of his chief would be a
tail feather in Mr.. Wilson's cap. To
have gone in person into the greatest
stronghold of protection, and have car
ried 1t against protection in favor Of
candidate who had had the courage of
free trade views in votes in the House
for bill designed to discredit and
weaken protection. would be something
for Mr.. Wilson to remember with I'M
mixed satisfaction. Will the plunger
plunge in Pennsylvania?

federal bank in every community to loan
the money on real estate and chattel

act Of Congress to issue legal tender

them from the United States Treasury.

such loans without interest in twenty-five

Congress to issue legal tender money to

and telephones at their physical values
and operate them at cost.
Coxey in His Own Story of the Com
monweaI,' says of the first march to
Washington: ''On arrival at Washington
Mr. Coxey called upon the Vice President
and Speaker of the House and requested
permission to hold a meeting on the Capt.
toll steps, which request, while not grant

Nav /, at ~ M, the commonweal reached
the Capitol, being greeted on the line OF
march and at the Capitol by the largest
concourse of people ever assembled there.
Police interference prevented the army
from reaching the Capitol steps. but by
a strategic movement Mr. CoAey reached
the steps only to be confronted by
lieutenant of police. who forbade him 10

Almost June.

"'Tis almost Junev' the robin sings.
The wildwood flower its perfume filings
Across the path where snowdrifts lay
In times not yet SO far away.
The humming insect lightly flies
Where waters shine like ripping skies
And nature sings the lazy tune
In accents soft, "'Tis almost june
Though Maytime is a season rare
And misty Aprlrs days are fair,
From time to time through them will fall
An echo of rude Marchs call.
But as the softer skies disclose
The salutation of the rose
At midday and beneath the moon
The chorus sounds, TITS almost June!'

Passing Of Old Houses.
From the Boston Transcript.

From the BOstOn IfAnscrlpt.
Riders and walkers through the New
England countryside and villages learn
to look for the venerable houses, many
Of them centenarians twice over, which
not only distinguish this region. but fit
into its landscapes with q suitability
which newer buildings somehow lack. AS
this interest grows, the observer begins
to notice that they are all too rapidly
disappearing to give place to modern
houses which are certainly no improve
ment in workmanship and architectural
design, and not necessarily superior in
comfort and convenience if the old houses
are properly handled. In losing these
ancient buildings we are losing not only
parcels Of history; We are losing quite
as much a dignified and fitting style of
domestic architecture which is all the
more effective by being severely plain.

Coxey-Twenty Years After.
ON the PhiladeIuhia Inuuirer

Barnum's assertion that the American
people love to be humbugged may have
basis of truth, but it does not always
hold good. The proof that the multitude
cannot always be hoodwinked is furnish
ed in the utter lack of interest taken in
the advent of General Jacob Coxey
and his army into the city of Wash
ington. 1t goes to prove that agitators,
like pugilists, find it mighty hard to
come back"

SEEING OUR SHIPS

John Bull has been getting hysterical neutral ships and contraband In his recent interference with flying the American flag he have lost his head completely
 First the British government seized the Robert Dollar at Rio de Janeiro. It owned by San Francisco citizen and has flown the British ag but under the law had registered as American After protest and ex- planation the vessel set free.
 Next the Brndna, oil ship bound from New York Egypt just outside New York harbor and lowed to Halifax a prize of The Brindnla had been owned by the DeutschAmerican Petroleum com pany, had just registered under the American flag Her have stated that the. German company is really subsidiary of the Standard oil company, and there has been change of ownership and evasion As regards the to have been consigned in good faith to Egypt another neutral country and oil had not been classed as contraband anyhow.
 Next the British warships seized the D. Rocker feler Copennagen. an American built ship which, according to department has al- ways been Amercanowned and Americanregstered. Not content with that Great Britain seized the Paturias another Standard oil steamer bound New York to Denmark with cargo of Illuminating oil This vessel like the first two had changed from foreign to American registry without change ownership having been act uay American all the time.
 While England is busy deciding what to do about our governments protest against such highhanded action, these thoughts naturally occur to me;
 Of 74 foreignbult ships flying the American flag, 62 until recently registered British Is it Brit aims loss of ships and her fear of American rivalry the that make her bold with merchant marine?
 Whatever the reason, Great Britain is absurdly small and silly about h Just she might well reconclel herself to the fact that going have merchant fleet worthy of the United States whether she objects not And she might well remember that in her predicament our friendship is worth great deal to her than anything she possibly gain by a petty and irritating policy.
