Col Harris plans for the development
of lower Potomac Park, known as the
peninsula" as explained Friday tp the
Board of Trade committee on parks and
reservations. are designed to add that
large area Of reclaimed river land to the
system of pleasure-giving public reserva-
tons. No practical move has been made
until now to put that tract OF land at
the disposal of the people. Only recent
" a single roadway has been opened
along the western edge. and at this time
the peninsula stands a virtual waste
awaiting use. ~.
The project in contemplation embraces
many features that if developed will add
greatly to the pleasure of the people and
give the park a real value as recrea-
ton place as well as a scene OF beauty.
Provision is made for sports of all kinds.
for picnics, for drives and walks. If the
plan is carried into effect Potomac Park
will become one of the most attractive
public reservations in the world, and at
a small expense in comparison with the
benefits derived by the public. 1t Is I'M
derstood that the project las been favor
ably considered in Congress, and it is to
be hoped that no delay will be suffered
by the House and Senate in it's adoption
and early execution.

crat, now a republican, and now bun
mooser-he had enemies in all camps
Bourke Cochran would make brilliant
campaign. but of course losing one. He,
like Mr.. Straus, has a variegated political
record. He left the democrats for the re-
publicans in 1895 on the silver issue, re-
turned to the democrats while Mr.. Bryan
was still advocating free silver. and then
became bull mooser under the tnf1u-
ence of Mr.. Roosevelt. He is out of the
question.
With Mr. Roosevelt out Of the calcula-
ton by his personal command. and his
principal neutenants barred for the rea-
son given. why a bull moose nomination?
What would it avail the party to appeal
to the state under an obscure leadership
and poll only an Insignificant vote? If 1t
polled just enough votes to defeat the
republicans. it would add to the difficult
ties. already numerous enough. about the
campaign of 1916. And if it failed to
defeat the republicans, its plight would
be even worse.
It will thus be seen that Mr.. Roosevelt
has a hard nut to crack. He is by no
means quit Of responsibility by refusing
to run himself. He must say il a race
Is to be run, and by whom. The whole
proposition is up to him.
In other states bull moosers have their
eyes on New York. which, as the resi-
dence of Mr.. Roosevelt, is considered a
sort Of party headquarters. What is
done. or omitted, there under the chiefs
eye and direction is noted far and near.

wood and canvas, which was finally
buried with significant rites. Banners
were carried appealing to the people OF
Paterson to join the crusade of BOOM
ers.
Such a movement is always q good
thing in any community, whatever the
special conditions. In every town there
are some people who take delight In
running down the community, scoring
the local administration, criticising the
citizens and denouncing the state OF
mind of the people generally. These
knockers usually have more effect
than twice as many boomers. for they
do not confine their objurgations to their
own urban circle, but are particularly
loud in their denunciations when away
from home.
But little can be done for Paterson
until 1t sets its house in order with
regard to the industrial relations that
nave for some years been in sad state
provocative of great disorder. Just at
this time commission is sitting to
investigate the activities Of the T. W. w.
and the attitude of officials and manu-
1acturers toward that organization. Per-
haps a way will be found to adjust
relations and bring peace to Paterson.

PSYCHOLOGICAL SUGGESTIONS.
,rom the Detroit Free Press.

From the Detroit Free Press.
The President declares that there is a
combination Of business interests to pre-
vent legislation. The business men, how
ever, insist that the combination is purely
psychological.
From the Omaha World Herald.
The President Is PSYCHOLOGISTS enough

Geological depression"
From the Sioux City Tribune.
Mark Hanna called it lack of conf

Geological depression" There isn't any
difference; each referred to state OF
mind.
From the Des Moines Capital.
President Wilson should be enough of a
philosopher to know that "a psychological
business depression" may be as burden
some to the masses as any other kind.
From the New York World.
With the republican party trying to
make a campaign issue out OF psyche
logical depression, it is really a matter
for public regret that the colonel has
lost his voice.
From the New York Tribune.
Prexy Wilson. being an enthusiastic

From the New York American.
The psychological character of that
business depression appears to have
helped it to get into general circulation.

Mr.. Roosevelt's Responsibility.

Mr. Roosevelt puts an end to all talk
about running him for Governor of New
York. He refuses to consider the sug-
gestion further. The bull moosers have
it straight new that their candidate he
cannot be. Does this mean also that there
will be no bull moose candidate for that
officer
II one is chosen Mr.. Roosevelt will name
him. His voice is potent in bull moose
circles. What he says goes
George w. Perkins would not answer
the purpose. He ii interested vt one
question in politics-the q-,...on-
and moreover is not. strictly speaking. a
politician. He possesses no strength that
would tell in a candidacy for elective Of
fice. Rather would the strength he does
possess tell against him as a candidate.
As a trust masnate he would be cut by
some of the bull moosers themselves
Oscar Stratus does not want to try for
governor again. His failure two years
ago when bull moosery was new and
showing the attractions OF novelty was
pronounced. He developed no capacity
for the stump. AS ons who had gone

Mr.. Underwood and Adjournment.

Mr.. Underwood favors an early ad-
tournament of Congress, and has so in
formed the President. His views should
be well weighed at the White House.
The proposition relates to business
and Mr.. Underwood understands that
subject. He has given time and study to
it. During his long service in the House
he has addressed himself solely to mat
tiers having to do with business policies.
He is not spellbinder There is no
hurrah in his composition. His recent
success at home was tribute to a Sc
rious-minded man at a serious time in
public affairs. The people of Alabama
decided that as business questions were
now uppermost in Congress 1t would be
best for them and for the country to
keep him in congressional commission.
So they arranged for his transfer from
the House to the Senate. They would
willingly have returned him to the
House. but as he desired seat in the
Senate and one was to be filled they as
signed him to 1t.
When tariff revision was in hand Mr.
Underwood differed with the President
about certain features Of it. While in
favor OF a downward revision, he yet
saw the necessity of raising revenue
enough for the support of the govern
ment on liberal lines, and planned ac-
cordingly.
But the President had a rod In pickle
for both sugar and wool, and insisted on
free-listing both. wool Immediately, and
sugar at the end of three years. From
the revenue point Of view his policy was
mistake: and the fact is now widely
recognized. The new law as fashioned
in part by the President Is not strong
on the revenue side. A deficit is threat
ened.
Though yielding his views on the tar
III matter, Mr.. Underwood was obdurate
on canal tolls. and refused to follow the
lead. He spoke and voted
against repeal and took ground in favor
Of full American control at Panama. His
speech on the subject was as direct as
that of Mr.. Clark. which followed.
On this question of adjournment. Mr.
Underwood advises from a knowledge Of
both business and politics. Business is
tired and wants a rest, while politicians,
who cannot AFFORD a rest, want to trans
fer their activity from legislative halls
to the stump. And Mr.. Underwood
wants the next Congress to he demo-
cratic.
The Presidents political experience is
small as compared with Mr.. Under
woods, and in business he has had no
experience at all. So this conference
between them takes on considerable in
terest because of that fact. 1t is the
veteran advising the new recruit on the
eve of a campaign fraught with the ut
most importance to the cause and all
concerned.

How softly fall the memory lights
On pictures of the past,
AS still and sultry grow the nights
That shade the glare at last.
When like furnace breath SO hot
The breezes ebb and flow,
You think about the cherished spot
Where once you shoveled snow
The eager tingle Of the blast
No more seems harsh and rude.

Seems gentle and subdued.

That faced US months ago.
And now how lovely seems the spot
Where once we shoveled snow.
