The President and the Stump.

The question of the Presidents part
in the coming campaign hobs up from
time to time. Will he stand on the
record. and let his heutenants speak
for him on the stump? Or VIII he de-
eide TO take the stump and speak 1of
himself?
There would be no improperly IN a
stumping tour by him. An occupant OF
the White House is not barred from
communing with his fellow citizens In
that fashion. If he prefers that man
uer of communication. the whole couti-
try is before him where to choose. A
welcome awaits him wherever engage
mentS are made.
Enormous crowds also are guaranteed.
The people flock to see and hear the
thief magistrate. He possesses 1or
them an interest greater than attaches
10 any other public servant. He stands
It the top 1t is not necessary for the
voter to have helped put him in office
10 show this interest. There may be
in a sea of faces upturned before a
President delivering a political speech
rs many foes as friends. But all alike
give ear to what he says.
II Mr. Wilson takes the stump it will
I've construed as a confession of anxiety.
When the reserves are brought up the
battle is hot and the result in doubt
II he does not take the stump, his
Iieutenants representing him there will
have need of good deal of intimate
information, as he will be the supreme
target of the opposition.
The republicans in referring to Mr..
Wilson paraphrase the famous saying
IF the French king: THE democratic
party? 1t is he"' AS they contend, Mr..
Wilson has absorbed Congress, the
democratic state organizations, and is
now the whole thing in commission.
They credit him with the tariff law,
the currency law, what is coming in
the way of antitrust legislation, and
with the administra TONS foreign po,icy.
No democratic leader since Jackson s
day has exercised a party influence so
compelling.
When the congressional campaigns
open, every big piece of the republican
artillery will be trained on democratic
Headquarters; and the replies from
there to be effective must be well
aimed. This may bring Mr.. Wilson as
cummander-in-chief into action on the
firing line.
As a candidate, Mr. Wilson appeared
on the stump. Not an orator in the
sense that Mr.. Bryan is-rather a
speaker, with more finish than fire
he yet holds an audience well in hand,
and argues his points earnestly. Should
he present his case this year by word
of mouth, he will be his partys top
liner in the campaigns. A difficulty may
arise about an itinerary. 1t will be
impossible for him to appear in every
state where the local leaders Will want
TO see him.

Money and Politics.

Money talks. Talks in politics. Is talk
ing just now in New York.
For more than n year the republican
state committee had been carrying a debt
Of some foKty-ive thousand dollars.
Things had not been going well with the
party, and collections had been poor.
Men-even good partisans-are slow about
subscriptions when prospects are dark.
Lately. as prospects had frightened, the
committee thought it a good time to lift
the debt and made an appeal to that end
The responses We're immediate and graft
fling. The debt was lifted, and the com.
mittee begins this years work with a
clean slate.
What this money says. therefore, is
that the New York republicans have
hopes. They believe the cards are coming
their way. Democratic troubles at AL
bany and in New York city are such as
10 inspire confidence in the bosom of the
opposition.
Campaign expenses, city, state and ma.
tional, skre heavy. How much heavier

Equipped by Experience.

A Texan so bold
Toward the border. we're told,
These words would deiantly toss:
You who yearn for the fray,
Do not further delay:
Come across! Come across! Come across"
The Texan at last
To the northward was passed
To collect the poor taxpayers dross.
And with voice clear and strong
Still he warbled that song,
Come across! Come across! Come across!'

Caring for
Children S Feet

It is most important to childs
welfare that it should have the
right kind Of shoes.
Just any kind will not DOLL
fitting ones are likely to leave
troubles that will cause much suf-
fering in after life.
Many able shoemakers have
spent years in studying the needs
OF children's feet. They have
designed shoes on correct lines,
have made them of right leath-
ers, and have built them with
honest workmanship.
1t is not our purpose to sing the
praises Of any one make or kind.
The right shoes are not hard
to find. Every good storekeeper
knows them and carries them.
First choose your dealer with
care-you will find the advertise
ments of the better ones in this
newspaper from day to day.
Sometimes they specialize on a
particular kind or make of shoes.
At all times they are willing to
aid the anxious seeker for foot
comfort with friendly and re-
liable advice.
First be sure of the deaier-and
an excellent introduction to the
right one will be his advertise
ment in this newspaper.

Breaking Ground for High School.

After years Of hopeful waiting the work
on the new Central High School building
was begun today. Ground was broken.
There was. Of course. more symbolism
than real work in this act, but it marks
the beginning of building OF great
promise to this and future generations.
Auspiciously begun, the work should pro-
coed with vigor, and soon q landmark
Of education in the District will stand
above where that spadeful of earth was
turned today.

A Merited Rank for Goethals

From the New ] Ork IrIbune
That is a logical proposal that an addi-
tional major generalship in the army
shall be created for Col. Goethals to be
held by him alone. If he does not enter
the service of this city, and to lapse on
his death or retirement. There have
been similar creations In recognition of
great services in war. There may well
be one in recognition of no less distin-
guished services in peace.

BRIGHTEN UP DAY
COMES ON THURSDAY
Time 20 Remove Garbage Piles, RUB
bIsh and Ashes, Comes This
Week.

The Brighten Up day crusade Will
come to an end on Thursday night.
Friday the general chairman. William
Ballinger, and his assistants will
make an inspection trip OF the city
and announce ths winners. Every
ward is expected to be banner ward
this year, Chairman Ballinger says.
The first block to report in the
movement this year reported yester-
day. It was block 113 In the sixth
ward. John Ferris Is the lieutenant
in the ward. He reported over the
phone to Manager O. B. Towne that
his block was the first to cleanup.
The sixth ward was considered the
banner ward last year, and It is evil
dent that 1t is making start to keep
up its former reputation.
The object Of the Brighten Up cru
SADIE is to secure clean alleys. Rub
Ish which is combustible can best
be taken care Of in that manner. Ma
nure and garbage piles should be
hauled away to suitable places and
the city dumping ground is the place
for ashes and tin cans and the like.
One reason for placing Brighten UP
crusade day late in the month was
in the hopes that furnaces might bs
put in the discard along with the
woolens. and that the ashes in the eel
lar might be all hauled away.

tory suits Him.

Actual building operations are
chedulea to begin in Home Park ad-
dition within the next two weeks. or
as soon as the grading work is done
there, according to A. L. Ackerly OF
Leon who is behind the prof set, and
who was in the city yesterday after
noon. Mr.. Ackerly said that he ex-
pected to have plans and specidca'
lions ready within the next fortnight.
1t is improbable that actual build
ing can commence until the grading
work Is completed. because OF the I'M
certainty Of placing houses until the
grades have been established. How
ever, the cooperation OF the commits
sioners and especially o: Commission
er Schmidt in furthering this work Is
proving OF assistance to Mr.. Ackerly
and is appreciated by him.
The Home Park will be an impos-
ing addition when complete. Mr.. Ack-
erly very modestly admits that the
addition will be one TO be proud or
When he was asked yesterday II the
new addition was going to have all
the artistic entrance gates and the
like that go with new additions. he
only smiled.
The laying OF sidewalks and gut
tiers, and the installation of water and
gas mains and sewer connections VIII
probably follow the grading and the
start on the erection OF houses will
be made about the same time. The
grading work will be an important
feature. as the establishment Of grades
will mean the establishment of lines
for walks, cutters and houses.
Mr. Ack9rly Is pleased at the result
of the school bond election, as the
erection OF a school In the seventh
| ward was one OF the essential fea
lures to his Improvement plan. Wher
he first proposed his plan for this
| improvement, the lack Of schools II
the vicinity was the biggest draw
back. with the SUCCESS of the bont
issue, this obstacle has been over
come.
| The preliminary specifications arr
expected within the week, and grad
ing will begin about the sams time
| it is understood. Mr. Ackerly seems
quite enthusiastic over the prospects
