complimentary to his party, for he
said:

not fixed during the campaign, and it

COL. HARVEY DISCUSSES WILL
SON AND HIS POLICIES

There was recently published in the
Congressional Record a remarkable
f'defense'' of the administration, in
the form of a speech by Col George
Harvey, editor of the North American
Review, delivered before the Mer-
chants club of Boston. 1t will be re-
called that Colonel Harvey originally
discovered Woodrow Wilson as a
presidential candidate, and was his
chief supporter. He therefore spoke
with some knowledge. In discussing
the foreign policy of the administra-
ton the editor said:
"Of sour own foreign policies under
this administration we may say with
out undue Boosting, that they are
such as they are. Our attitude tow
ards Mexico has not, of course, been
to the liking of everybody in the
United States, or to anybody appar-
emily, in Mexico, except our amiable
allies, Mr.. Villa and Mr.. Carranza.''
Discussing the Vera Cruz incident,
Colonel Harvey's satire runs riot:
ITO salute or not to salute? That
is the question to whose solution IS
being brought to bear all of the un-
suspected resources of our diplomacy.
As true Americans, devoted to the
cause of peace and forbearanee, let us
hope and pray that the Mexican gov
eminent will not only accede to our
gentle suggestion, but, what is more
to the point, that it may be able to
find somewhere in the vicinity OF
Tampico a cannon that can be fired
twenty one times without exploding.
Else how can we anticipate that our
secretary of state will ever be able to
place upon his brow the laureis of a
world pacifcator, and clasp to his
bosom the Nobel prize of $4,000, the
equivalent of $4,000 full paid sub
scriptions to the Commonerf And 1T

Pneumonia Cure

The world reads with skepticism pub
lished reports of the discovery of cures
for dread diseases, yet within a few
years the problems of malaria and yell
low fever have been mastered. prevent
i've measures against typhoid have been
found effective and antitoxins and Sc
runs which reduce mortality in other
diseases have been discovered. The num-
Der of cures for cancer and tubercu-
losis which have disappointed hopes
have been so numerous that suspicion
attaches to all new announcements of
cures. However, the announcement of a
remedy for pneumonia comes with what
must be the seal of authority from the
Rockefeller Institute for Medical Re
search. A statement has been sent out
that at that institute a specific serum
has been discovered for the treatment of
lobar pneumonia, that the institute is
prepared to treat patients suffering from
the disease in an acute form and that
results of experiments indicate the eff
cheney of the discovery in lowering NOR
tally from this disease. This probably
marks another long stride toward the
conquest of germ disease.

Welcoming Migrant Birds.

Ornithologists and other naturalists
whose fancy turns to birds are in the
fields and woods today, and many men
and women with opera glasses. bird
books and Audubon slips are pursuing
an interesting and bloodless hunt in
the Virginia woods between the Aque-
duct and Chain bridges. in the Difficult
run neighborhood, around Great Falls,
in the region adjacent to Dyke, in the
thickets. marshlands and sandy bot
toms of Foxs ferry. and along the

places all dear and familiar to persons
who start out early to give their an
nual greeting to the migrant birds OF
spring In the environs of Washington
the resident birds have been somewhat
more numerous this winter than in sew
eral years. The cardinal has been con-
sptcuous, the notes of the Carolina
wren and the song sparrow have been
heard, the chickadee. titmouse, cedar
bird, the red crossbill. the white
breasted nuthatch. the b1uebird and
the goldfinch have been here all winter.
for these birds together with the COM
mon crow. the fish crow. the bluejay.
the bob white. the owls and hawks are
classified as permanent residents. Red
polls and pine siskins have been down
from the north and the slate-colored
junco has spent a happy and prosperous
winter.
The grackles have come, focks of
red-winged blackbirds have been re-
ported. the robins are arriving. and the
bird people may today register on their
slips many migrant sparrows, purple
martins. which are usually the earliest
OF the swallows to come north war
blers. especially myrtle and pine war
blers, phoebes orioles. vireos, oven
birds, tanagers and thrush. Perhaps 1t
is little early to expect scarlet and
summer tanagers. or even the thrush
unless he be the hermit thrush. but the
friends of the birds are afield today.
and there is always competition among
them to be the first to observe the ar
rival of migrant species.

brought up in the House was passed OF
| a rising vote by a majority of nine. but a
roll call being demanded the bill was de-

This bridge question has been before
Congress repeatedly since the first ses-
sion of the Forty-ninth Congress QSS5).
| when the Secretary of War was direct
ed by resolution OF the Senate to Tex
anime and report upon the expediency OF
constructing government bridge with
suitable draw and approaches from a
point at or near the foot of New York
or New Hampshire avenue, on the public
grounds across the Potomac river and

would. in fact, bring them to our very

On October O. 1902, during the thirty
sixth national encampment of the Grand
Army of the Republic, the Stonecutters'
Union of Washington presented a seven
ton block of stone as the corner stone OF
the memorial bridge. That stone was
dedicated with impressive ceremonies.

Platforms.

Sreakinc of platforms. And who is
not speaking, of them today? What a
theme, How pat, How very much to
the point, All other themes for the
moment yield TO that.
At g. national convention the platform
committee has been one of great honor.
Men of distinction have sought assign
rnent to it. Service on it has been
distinction in itself. To have helped for
rnulate a party creed for a presidential
contest has been something to remem-
her and refer to.
Is q change at hand? VIII 1915 pre-
sent the spectacle of men avoiding
such an assignment? Shall we see the
great phraserakers prefer to be vice
presidents of the convention rather
than platform builders? Has the work
become risky. and even ridiculous?
If so. what will become of the spell
binders? To what will they cling?
What swear by? Upon what base
their promises of happiness and pros
perity for all2
The platform has been boon to the
orators. They have treated il as a sort
of gospel. When they have scared it
has been on platform wings. AS the
late Representative Cushman said of
Gen. Grosvenors speeches. they have
been able to prove. or disprove, any
thing by it, With a good platform,
neatly phrased. they have felt them
selves invincible, and set pegs for tall
talking.
But now there is Ievity in the land
on this subject All parties are taking
a fling at the Baltimore platform. Some
of those elected to office on it make a
little merry at it's expense AS for the
republicans. bull moosers. prohibition
lists and socialists. they are in a gale
OF amusement
And yet that platform was con-
structed by very able and earnest men.
Mr.. Bryan presided. Senator O'Gorman
sat neat Both were dead in earnest
Both were in agreement not only as to
what policies but what candidate
should be presented. Mr.. O'Gorman
was a Wilson man. While the iniu-
ence of the New York delegation was
operating for Clark. his personal pref
erence was for the Jerseyman.
Today these men are in opposite
camps. While Air. Bryan is support
ing the President against the plat
form. MIR. O'Gorman is supporting the
platform against the President. While
Mr.. Bryan is repudiating. Mr.. O'Gorman
is acknowledging and expressing pride
in. their joint work at Baltimore.
Tim Campbell thought the Constitu-
tion should not come between friends.
Other views are prevailing about the
Baltimore platform That has come
between friends. and is separating
them widely. Is it to prove to be the
last deliverance of its kind? Will it
he possible after this to refer to plat
form without raising suspicious, and
provoking maybe loud outlaws? For
all we know. las misleading as the
Baltimore platform may become
standard comparison
