A great deal of newspaper space is being
wasted by denals Of the assertion that foreign
governments have protested to the State Depart
ment against the enactment OF the ship purchase
bill. OF course foreign government has pro-
tested. Under the authority granted by the bill
the government might purchase the German mcr-
chant ships interned here, but foreign govern
ment would place it's l the absurd position OF
protesting against measure pending in Congress
merely because it gives this government the au-
tlority to commit unneutral act There can be
no doubt, however, that the administration, in
Guiding President Wilson and Secretary Bryan,
fully of the fact that the govern
ments OF Great Britain, France and Russia would
regard the purchase by this government of the
useless ships OF their enemies as unneutral 1t is
we'll known at the White House and the State De-
partment that the purchase of the German ships
means the purchase of endless negotiation, litiga
ton, or a serious international quarrel 1t is in
credible that such purchase is any longer contem-
plated.

The statement that the number OF depositors
in United States postal savings banks has in
creased more than 100000 since the European war
began, and deposits have increased $I57so,ooo
during the six months from July to January I
last, opens up quite a field for speculation. For
forty-three months postal savings accumulated
at the rate of about 100000 month. When the
European conflict broke out Withdrawals fell off
and thousands of new depositors appeared Hence
the August figures showed net gain in deposits
of $4,000, ,ooo-four times the average gain. Sep
tember and October rolled up more than $35oo,ooo
each, and while November and December felt the
usual holiday drains these months showed more
than twice the normal receipts about 100000
each. 1t is reasonable to infer that prior to the
war most of this large increase in deposits here
was being intrusted to the European banks. 1t
is not unlikely that some of it may be sent
here from the warning countries for safe keeping.
Such large increase in deposits here of money
that in normal times apparently is placed in Eu-
ropean banks is not easily reeoncilable with the
popular idea of the extent of distress resulting

Developments OF the past few days have been
interpreted as indications that serious campaign
is about to be undertaken in behalf of the renomi,
nation OF President Wilson. 1t is probable that
too much significance has been given to Chairman
McCombs' visit to the White House, and TO the
announcement that the President will make
speeches on journey to the San Francisco
Exposition anl back. No doubts that Presi-
dent Wilson will be candidate for reelection,
but a year and half before the nomination is to
be made no necessity is apparent for exerting
efforts in his behalf is anything likely to be
gained. Nothing approaching serious opposition
TO Mr.. Wilson's candidacy is visible, and if the
nomination were to be made now he would be
chosen by acclamation, as he deserves to be. In
all probability this will be the situation at con-
vention time in 1910 but whatever the conditions
may be Il, that time they cannot be affected by
anything done to further Mr.. Wilson's candidacy
now Quite likely the plans on foot and the Pres-
dents spccchuaking are intended more for the
purpose OF exploiting the achievements OF the
Democratic party, which would seem to be good
politics.

A Restful Exposition.

would have been easy to spoil the effect by incon-
gruities of design or of coloring. Allen was par
ticularly successful in utilizing the natural beauty
of the Mesa and of the outlook and in hiding
from view by of shrubbery any disturbing
elements. In wandering the grounds one
constantly met long and beautiful vistas, stretch
ing across canyons and across the bay to the
distant mountains.

After seeing the exposition grounds in San Fran
cisco with their amazing profusion of sculpture
l wondered why sculpture had been almost wholly
ignored here. Save for the figures used in the
architecture, for the most part celebrating the
Spanish padres and soldiers, with a figure here
and there of maiden a child, there was vir-
tually sculpture For economy it had been
decided to place reliance the charm of the
buildings and the landscape. 1t seemed to me
that the decision was wise. AS the exposition
stood it had satisfying completeness.

In the Botanical Building there was evidently
no effort to make great display 1t would have
been altogether too costly. The director of works
had been content to fill the place with those
large tropical plants common to Southern Cali
fornia and with many kinds of water plants Now
the display was not so luxuriant it would be
in few months, when those plants had time to
reach full growth. Some of them would tower to
the open roof and beyond. Here one had idea
of what the stranger, visiting Southern California
for the first time expected Southern California to
be, reproduction of the tropics.

was curious to hear how the trees and the
Towering plants and shrubs had been brought to
their rich growth so early. Then l learned that
they had been developing for many months in the
nurseries close to the exposition grounds. Allen
and his emssares had fairly secured California
in search of just what they wanted and they want
ed everything that would suggest tropical growth
and would provide color. The great palms they
used so profusely required searching, they
grew in abundance in San Diego and all about.
The eucalyptus, that much misunderstood and
maligned tree, found doing valiant work on the
grounds, in the way of ornament, sometimes
leaning against white building sometimes stand
ing in rows and in clusters. Now l could under
stand why it had become popular with the
Italians and why it had made its way into other
countries of Southern Europe OF all California
trees, it was one of the most decorative. The
acacias, too, were used with lovely effect And in
the masses of shrubbery would find the giant
bamboo towering and the One whole grove
was given to the pepper trees celebrating
their Southern California character.
The restfulness of the exposition as a whole
was enhanced by the many hooks and corners
and patios where one could sit and enjoy the
views. If one tired OF Spanish architecture, with
its frosted ornamentation and its vine-clad per-
golas, one could look across quiet green lawns or
into deep canyon, rank with underground where
the rich orange-colored Gamma bloomed. There
was particularly lovely plaza, facing the Bo-
tanical Building with its roof of lath. In the dis
tance stood vine-covered arcade, giving glimpses
of the sea and the Coronado Islands And, if one
chose, one could leave the buildings altogether
and wander out along the hillside, where paths
ran through the thick underground and pretty
little vine-clad pergolas with white posts stood
out from the greenness.
