Influence of Hague Convention.

The A. B. C. mediation plan is in con-
for1nity with The Hague convention
adopted in 1899. Article 8 Of that con-
vention provides that Independently OF

submission to mediation by the belliger-
ents) 1.-The signatory powers recommend
that one or more powers strangers to
the dispute should, on their own initia-
tive and as far as circumstances may
allow offer their good offices or media

strangers to the dispute have the right
to offer good offices or mediation even
during the course of hostilities. The ex-
ercise of this right can never be regard
ed by one or the other of the parties in
conflict as an unfriendly act" concur
rent resolution was introduced in the
House of Representatives by Mr.. Town

The Keep Clean Campaign.

The campaign for cleanliness and
health should not lag because of an i'm
pending campaign which makes strong
er grip upon the emotions and the in
terest. Spring is advancing, and though
heat waves have not yet touched the
city the sun will soon shine ardently and
insect life will take on activity and
vigor. And the insect which threatens
the greatest danger is the fly. The clean
up campaign followed by the keep-clean
campaign ought to prevent millions of
flies. and to prevent millions of flies is

steamed down the river as far as Potomac
creek or Aqua creek, there connecting
with stage coaches which made tho tram
sit of the Northern Neck, that long
stretch of land 1utting down to tho Chesa-
peake between the rivers Potomac and
Rappahonnock.
The announcement in 1915 that tho
steamboat Washington would make daily
trips to Alexandria and Fredericksburg
did not seem to present a startling or ex-
traordinary fact and the presumption
would be that the service was not new
and that this boat or another was on
the river before 1915. The Washing
ton papers of 1914 were nearly all
taken up with the subject Of the Brit
ish invasion, the capture Of Washing
ton and the military inquiry follow
ing that disaster. and 1t might seem
that perhaps they overlooked the advent
of a regular steamboat on the Po-
tomac.
However, historical research has not
been pressed very far in this matter
and deeper and more careful examina-
ton of ancient chronicles might pro-
duce Interesting results. The wash
ington appears to have been the only
years 1915 to 1891. but In the latter
year another steamboat. the Potomac,
came upon the river running between
Washington and Norfolk. leaving
Washington every Thursday morning
at o'clock, landing passengers at
convenient places on the Potomac and
at Old Point Comfort, and arriving at
Norfolk on Friday morning in time for
the southern stages and tho steam
boat for Richmond and Petersburg" The

this boat was 91l Tho steamboat Sur

making two round trips daily at rs
cents per passage between Smallwood's
wharf in the Eastern branch, near tho
navy yard. and Alexandria, and max
ing calls at the Potomac bridge.
Earlier than 1915 one finds frequent
reference to sailing packets engaged
in making regular trips between
Georgetown and Washington. Wash
ington and Alexandria, Washington
and Norfolk and Washington. Alex
andria, Annapolis and Baltimore. Tho
schooners Kitty and Dolphin sailed
once every three weeks from Motley
Young's wharf for Annapolis and Bal
timore in 1901 and the sloop George
was making regular sailings between
Alexandria and Norfolk. Washington
is very close upon the hundredth an
niversary Of the Potomac steamboat
1t may be this year or the next, and
there is q chance that the anniversary
has slipped by unnoted and un-

The Senate and Agitators.

The latest talk in New York is of Mr..
Roosevelt for the Senate. Mr.. Whitman
FOR governor and Mr.. Roosevelt for sena-
tor through a union Of republicans and
hull moosers for that express purpose.
OF all the suggestions for the former
President. that is the least happy. He
would not enjoy service in the Senate.
nor be at his best there. 1t is body Of
conventions, long established and rigidly
adhered to. 1t deliberates. A senator
must listen. whether enlightenment comes
from what he hears or not. He cannot
have all the talk to himself. no matter
how well he talks. And he cannot force
action.
Such an environment would fret man
of Mr. Roosevelt's push and impatience,
He would want Ia close every debate, and
then call for vote.
1t has been tIirty-odd years since Mr..
Roosevelt was a member of legislative
body. He went almost straight from col
lege to the New York assembly. But he
had only term or two, and they were
not brilliant.
Since then the man has been formed in
executive office: and in every office of that
kind he has held he has dominated the
situation. AS civil service commissioner
he was almost the whole board; as police
commissioner in New York he completely
filed the police stage: as assistant secre-
tary of the navy he overshadowed his
chief: as Governor of New York he ran
things while as President of the United
States he impressed his will affairs
deeply.
Such an experience does not lead natu-
rally to the Senate. A senator is one of
many, and must, to succeed. have pa
tience conciliation and the gift for 81
lence on occasions.
Now and then somebody suggests Mr..
Bryan for the Senate. At present those
who want him to retire from the cabinet
think he would do better in the Senate.
He would be as uncomfortable there as
Mr.. Roosevelt He would be a better lis
tener than Mr.. Roosevelt, but being also
a better talker and one of the best of
takers. he would want the attention and
the acau:escence there he commands on
the stump or in the lecture field. and.
failing to secure them. would soon tire of
his Office.
1 he SENATE IL not tiie place ioi tiie dei-
tator. Rather is it the place where the
agitation of the stump. the press and the
lecture platform is weighed land either
rejected or put into workable shape. OF
agitators we have had few in all our his
tory to compare with Mr.. Roosevelt and
Mr.. Bryan: and their equals are not in
action today. OF senators-good sorters
and weighers of agitation-we have al
ways had and have today, large sup
ply.

Centenary of Potomac Steamboats,.

Washington is close upon the centenary
Of steam navigation on the Potomac
river. though it is not clear that the date
Of the appearance of the merchant steam
boat on the home river has been estab-

means of the old files of newspapers to
reach back to that remote time found
the first public reference to a Potomac
river steamboat in 1915. The name Of that
quaint craft appropriately enough was the

Spring Gardening.

One Of the popular books of the day IS
the seed catalogue, its pages loaded with
pictures of sumptuous vegetables and
radiant flowers. Artists have perhaps
idealized the sweet peas. magnitied the
marisolds. overdrawn the onions and ex-
asserated the cabbage, but they are pic
lures which whet the taste for gardening
and stimulate the hopes of gardeners
Alas MANY of these hopes Will perish,
many of those flowers will never bloom
and many Of those cabbages Will never
come TO head. 1t is always far easier to
,rou, flowers and vegetables in ones
fancy or in a seed catalogue than in the
cold obdurate and often unsympathetic
earth. Woo a garden with hoe ana
caress il with rake, put in stout strokes
backed by enthusiasm and fond desire
and even then the yield may fail to come
up to the pictures in the seed catalogue.
Gardening has its trials and its disap-
pointments. There may be too much rain
or too little. Insects are active in their
devotion to plants. and they show con-
dener finds it difficult to discourage. The
hours and overtime has no terrors for
him. Disease may break out among
plants even in what seems to be the most
sanitary garden. Weeds have habit
of mocking the most earnest purposes of
those persons who would destroy them
Kill a weed. and two may replace it.
Weeds need no loving care to flourish, and
they thrive on opposition. Every gardener
knows the grim determination of the
weed. Then, too, the seed may be con-
trary and may grow up to be something
different from their labels. Onion seed
may come up as lettuce, and perhaps mas
turtiums may turn out as turnips. But
in spite of the risks of gardening many
persons will plant and the hope of their
friends is that they will reap.
