Patent Office Dangers.

1t is not to be expected that the
United States government will al
ways escape as lightly in the matter
of its patent Office as it did Wednes-
day morning, when FIRE was discov-
cred in the basement of that build
ing and the flames were extinguished
quickly after destroying about $500
worth of property. 1t is well known
that conditions there invite a whole
sale fire, and that records of meas
ureless value, involving countless mil
lions of property rights, are exposed
to destruction. Repeatedly this lam
entable state of affairs has been
urged upon the attention of Con-
gress, without action in remedy of
the evil. Already fire has swept the
Patent Office on two occasions with
serious results, the last time in 1877,
when the establishment was we'll
nigh wiped completely out of exist
ence, and the utmost confusion in the
records of the government was
caused. Since then some improve
ments have been made, but they are
only makeshifts, and the fire menace
is even greater than ever, owing to
the enormous increase in the Office
business and the accumulation of
priceless papers. 1t is far better that
warning be taken of $500 fire than
that action be delayed until the great
disaster, of which every official is
frankly afraid. 1t is not impossible
at the present session to provide for
the immediate preparation of plans
for the construction of modern
hreproof building for the patent of
fee.

Research.

What constitutes Society,"" in
quired the Man from Mars;
"Is it gathering of wealth and in
tellectua1 stars?"
'Ho! hop replied the rustic youth
who wore a grin serene.
"Society's our Mayday dance upon
the village green"
"Not so," the housemaid gayiy said.
THAT isn't it at all"
To find society, you should attend the
coachman's ball.
The serious woman said, IF for So
ciety you search
You'll find the very best there is by
coming to my church"
The studious one remarked, "The
very highest social force
You may discover if you will attend
our lecture course"
And some said that society was
made for games of chance,
And others mentioned art and brains
and beauty and the dance,
The Man from Mars looked puzzled
and remarked, "It seems to me
Society is all mankind, including
even me;
And each of us looks just beyond his
own familiar sphere;
The impulse is what made me leave
my home and come down here.

old environment. And he is still a
young man.
Principal point of all is he has the
full confidence of Mr.. Roosevelt,
who has praised his bull moose
leadership in the House, and given
him not only clean but compliment
tary bill of health. Mr.. Murdock
holds on to the faith. Last fall he
staked his all, and lost. He stood
for senator as the bull moose can
didate, only to see his state swing
back to her old allegiance and elect
a republican to that Office. So Mr..
Roosevelt loves him for the enemies
he has made and the sacrifices he has
offered
Little note had been taken of the
fact that a vacancy existed in the
place that has now been offered to
Mr.. Murdock. Former Senator
Dixon, it seems, retired in December.
He managed the Roosevelt cam
paign three years ago, and did it
well after the Roosevelt fashion.
He made the campaign fit the can
d1date. There was something doing
every minute. Nothing was hid un-
der bushel. Everything was set on
a high hill, and displayed for all It
was worth. But he had his labor for
his pains. His candidate was beaten.
and he himself had to give way in
the following March to a democrat
in the Senate. Since then he has not
appeared in the picture.
Mr.. Murdock's task, if he accents.

reviver. There is little left Of bull

IN spots, and is languishing there. 1t
is but poorly in his own state of
Kansas. AS 1916 draws near, and the
great national prize looms on the
horizon, a yearning for victory is
coming over many who helped bring
on defeat in 1912. Once bitten,
twice shy. Why do it again? Why
fire in the air, when an old familiar
target is in sight, and there is re-
ward for good craftsmanship?
This announcement is a reminder
that preparations for next year are
in progress, and an assurance that
the surviving bull mooscrs are medi-
tating some sort of national cam
paign.

The Parkway Connection.

The sundry civil appropriation bill,
as it passed the Senate, contains a
provision which would permit needed
changes in the plans for the connect
ing parkway between Rock Creek
and Potomac Parks, and the pro-
vision is identical with the Sauls-
bury resolution, which had already
been favorably reported from the
committee on public buildings and
grounds. This item in the bill, like
Senator Saulsbury's resolution, is
framed with the aim of expediting
the connecting parkway. 1t would
empower the commission which was
created by the act of March 4,
1913, for the purpose OF acquir-
ing land needed for the park
way "to amend the map on file in
the Office of the Engineer Commits
sioner of the District of Columbia,
dated May II, 1911, as to exclude
lands not needed and to include lands
needed for the execution of a plan
Tor the said parkway approved by
the commission of fine arts" II
would empower the commission "to
settle and compromise all questions
and controversies between the
United States and adverse claim
ants OF titles to lands within
or adjacent to the area desired for
said parkway. subject to the approval
OF the Attorney General of the

There is probably no warrant for
the story that the democratic SER

any time. but especially poor on the
eve of presidential campaign. Not

When Mr. Clark openly resisted
the Presidents retreat on the Pan
ANA canal tolls matter it was pre-
dicted that his act would cost him
the Speakcrship if his party carried
the next House But it did not. He
was renonlinated to the office by ac-
clamation. Moreover. since then the
President has conferred with him
more frequently than he did before.
1t was the Speaker who. while not
subscribing to the principle involved,
put the ship bill through caucus at
the Presidents request.

. Mr.. kitchin was chosen without
trouble. "Disciplining" him did not
materialize. He was as conspicu-
ously the man for floor leader as Mr..
Clark for Speaker.
OF the senators under discussion,
one-Mr. Bankhead-is a veteran
legislator. He saw long service in
the House before reaching the SEN
ate, and is now in his second term
as senator. Mr.. Clark will enter on

Senate side, but on the House side

Hitchcock, Mr.. O'Gorman and Mr..
Vardaman are all in their first term.
but all have served in the chamber
so as to become prominent there.
These men, it is to be assumed, did
not take position on so important
a matter as the ship purchase bill
without reflection. They knew the
influence that was behind the meas
ure, and that the New Leadership
was involved. Still, having decided
to oppose the President, they with
stood all overtures and all threats
to bring them into line and surren-
der their judgment to his. They have
not been, because they could not be,
read out of their party, and while
they remain in it the chances are
they will be treated in their sena-
torial work with the proper consid-

Senate is an important step toward
consolidating or connecting in one
system the major park areas OF
Washington, plan of national city
Improvement which The Star has
urged since the spring of 1888. The
parkway link has been conspicuously
in the public mind since about 1900.
Rock Creek Park had been estab-
lished under the act of September Fl,
1890, but its development SO as to be
accessible and useful to the people
had proceeded slowly. Potomac
Park was taking on form. In 1909
the Board of Trade reported that the
time had come "for the adoption of
some uniform plan for acquiring, de-
veloping. caring for and systemati-
cally improving the parks of the Dis
trict of Columbia" and the report
shows that in that year Senator
James Mcmillan, chairman of the
committee for the District of Column
bia, had in preparation bill for the
creation of park commission whose
duty it shall be to look into the
wants Of the entire District in the
matter of the location of new parks
as we'll as the improvement OF those
already existing"
Late in 1900 plans for the treat
ment of that part of Washington ly-
ing south of Pennsylvania ave-
nue. and north of B street, and
for the parking of the lower part of
Rock creek valley. were prepared
under the direction of Gen. John NJ.
Wilson. chief of engineers, U. 5. A.,
pursuant to an act of Congress ap-
proved June E. 1000. These plans
were transmitted to the Speaker of

The public building bill OF March
4. 1913, provided for the expenditure
of SI,3oo.ooo for the acquisition of the
parkway lands, and to take charge of
the purchase or condemnation of the
property commission was named
consisting of the Secretaries of the
Treasury, of War and of Agricul-
turc. In May, 1914, the commission
realized that the parkway could
not be established under the law as
it stood. The plans could not be car
ried out for the sum contemplated
because of the great value of certain
private industrial properties which,
though desirable for inclusion in the
plan, were not essential to the park
way. Secretary McAdoo, in letter
to Congress, proposed an amendment
to the law which would allow the
commission discretion in acquiring
land, and The Star on May % urged
that if the commission could not
carry out the law as originally
framed the modifying amendment
proposed by Secretary McAdoo
should be enacted at once, and the
connecting parkway constructed
without further delay
The parkway plan for uniting Po-
tomac and Rock Creek Parks has
proceeded haltingly, and the pend
ing legislation aims to bring into be-
ing this great capital Improvement.
