THE SPEAKER'SPROPHESY

Speaker Clark is likely right in
his observation that he would have
been the nominee of the Democratic
party in 1912 if there had been a
Presidential primary. He has reit-
Grated that belief a number of times
in public way.
Looking forward to 1916, he
prophesies about the Republican
nomination rather more pointedly
than about the Democratic. He an
nounces, rather than guesses, that
Senator Borah will be the Republican
candidate in 1916.
The Speaker evidently expects to
see amalgamation achieved. Borah
is Of the liberal Republican wing,
and his position, undoubtedly one of
great political advantage, is sTch
that it is difficult to believe he would
be the nominee except at the end of
a contest in which the various ele-
ments would have pretty well come
together once more

situation gave birth to. The State
could do this, the State could not do
that. But the State did do exactly
what it should. Confronted with an
amendment to the Federal Constitu-
ton, and given the choice between
observing the spirit of this and
avoiding it by sticking to technicai-
ties in the State law, it chose to con-
form with the Constitution. There
is not a doubt but that the election
law was strained to fit that course;
how justly, the collapse Of the at
tack on Senator Lees title to his
seat fully demonstrates.
1t is worth remembering that it
was a Republican governor who is
sued the writ of election that
strained the law; that his act re-
suited in the placing of a Democrat
ir Republicans seat, and that even
when the writ was issued there was
not a shadow of possibility that it
would have any other result. The
State, and Governor GoldsDorough
at the head of it, acted squarely and
above board. AS the outcome, the
honor of initiating the direct Sena-
torial election system falls to Mary
land.

Mr.. WILSON'S PLAN OF
CANAL TOLLS. g.

President Wilson might succeed in
settling the dispute over the Panama
canal tolls where others have failed.
The very impressive opinions
against the exemption clause for
coastwise shipping did not make
beadway with either Congress or the
American people so long as they
confined themselves to the argu-
ment that the United States Gov
crnment, because of treaty obliga-
tions, did not have the right to de-
cree that our coastwise shipping
need not pay the canal tolls.
The present Congress and the one
before it would not admit the claim
that this Government lacked the
right to do what it had done or that
any other authority could possess
the legal power to undo what this
Government had done. And the ex-
emption of coastwise shipping would
not actually give unequal treatment
to foreign bottoms in the same traf-
fic as American bottoms.
Foreign bottoms are not now in
the coastwise trade. They are held
out of it by our discriminating ship
ping laws already in existence. Put
ting a canal toll on our coastwise
shipping wouldn't let foreign bot
toms into the coastwise traffic. Each
would be just where it had been be-
fore. That's pretty equal treatment.
On the other hand, American bot
toms in general traffic couldn't be
exempted from the tolls without get
ting an advantage over foreign bot
toms. That would be unequal treat
nent. 1t was in respect of that
very thing that the treaty compact
guaranteed that there should not be
unequal treatment.
With American bottoms paying
exactly the same tolls as. foreign
bottoms, as they would do when in
exactly the same business that for
eign bottoms were in, they would all
be receiving exactly equal treat
ment.
That argument seems to be max
ing headway with Congress, the
American people acquiescing; and it
is not unlikely that President VIII
sor may get the exemption clause
suspended-merely to help out with
the revenues-on that basis of the
Governments needing the money.
President Wilson continues TO
show that he is a very skillful man.

situations.

Great Strides Made in
Playground Movement

NEW YORK, Jan. 3O-The Playground
and Recreation Association OF America
has just completed its annual stock
taking. Six hundred and forty-two cities
report themselves in various stages OF
activity. OF these, 342 have regular paid
play leaders in their Fairgrounds and
recreation centers, twenty-five have vol
unteer leaders, and fifty-nine no play
leaders One hundred and forty-hine
school Fairgrounds, often supervised by
public school teachers at recess or after
school are reported. In addition, thirty
one other cities are working to establish
play centers.
The Playground and Recreation Asso-
citation of America stands for play lead
ershin in playground and recreation cen
ters. Therefore the S42 cities reporting
regular paid leadership are the primary
interest in the association year book.
These S42 cities report 6,31S workers and
2.4O2 centers: 3lS of the Si2 report an
average daily attendance of 454, ,34S dur
ing July and August. One hundred and
fifty-two cities maintained SO evening
school centers. The activities include
not only games and athletics. but gar
dening, woodwork. arts and crafts,
singing, skating, dramatics, folk dane
ing, story telling, pageants, swimming,
everything that will bring jay
and happy self-eNpression.

THE HAYES ANALYSIS.

Congressman Hayes has placed
the people of Washington under OBJ
legation to him by reason of the ex-
cellent statement which he made of
the case for the Capital City, in the
House on yesterday. Mr.. Hayes
pledged his own California people to
a policy of fair treatment and iiber-
ality toward the National City. He
declares that though separated by
the breadth of a continent, they
none the less take a true national
pride in making the Capital worthy
the nation, and are willing to pay
their share.
Undoubtedly what Mr.. Hayes says
for California is true, and just as
certainly it is true for the rest of the
nation. There is a very real and uni
versal pride in Washington; pride in
what it is so far as it has been
made what it should be, and am
bition to make it yet better, more
beautiful, more creditable.
Getting down to specific things,
Mr.. Hayes pointed out that $4,000
people contribute to raise the
S5,I70,000 of taxes raised in Wash
ington, which he regards as the
demonstration that this is a demo-
cratic community, economically; a
community of many modest owners
of property, and not one dominated
by limited number of vast holdings.
In that conclusion Mr.. Hayes is cor
rect, and the point he makes has
need to be better understood because
there has been too much misrepre-
sentation on this point.
Washington would not be here but
for the Federal Government. Its
relations to the Federal Government
impose many disadvantages. For
instance, it has not the opportunity
to become commercially important in
relation to tributary territory, as
it would have if it were the metrop-
oils and center of a great State. 1t
is confined to its own little area,
which it has already overgrown and
cutgrown. These are very simple
facts about the Washington situa-
tion, but they are highly important.
