Mr.. Borah's idea that. briEh: as the

Mr.. Borah's idea that, briGh: as the
republican prospects now are, the
party has no "cinch" on next year,
but must offer the country, in its
platform as in its candidate, clear
expression of its purposes for the
future. 1t must show its true colors.
and sail only under them.
In the speeches Mr.. Borah IS to
make, therefore, we should find sug-
gestions as TO what that platform
should contain. He is familiar with
all existing issues between the two
parties. He is likewise familiar with
all the circumstances that led up to
the split in his own party. He was
at Chicago in 1912, and participated
in the republican national conven-
ton, but did not bolt. His sympa
thies were with the so-called pro-
gressives, but he did not become a
bull mooser.
Here, then, is man entitled to a
hearing as to what remains OF the
causes that split his party, and what
is necessary to bring the two fac
tons entirely together again. The
theme is of interest, not only to the
two factions, but to the democrats as
we'll. For ii still divided next year,
either on old points or new. the re-
publicans will probably again lose;
if united. they are likely to win.
Mr.. Borah is probably not assum-
ing to dictate its platform to his
party. He has had for SO young a
man large experience in politics.
and knows the give and take OF the
game. His desire seems TO be only
to speak out, and in time, on matters
he thinks vital both as to success
next year. and success later ii sue
cess is achieved then. He sees. as
Others do. that if republican fol-
lows Mr.. Wilson as President he will
have his hands full OF the most diff
cult business.
The party must write the platform,
and will do 50. and this time must
do 50 with extreme care and indis-
putable sincerity. So much deserved
condemnation has been visited on the
democracy because OF its reputation
of the Baltimore platform, the re-
publicans could not afford, even if
disposed. TO take any chances next
year with shifty and sounding de-
liverance.

The D. A. R. Congress.

Today in annual session assemblies
in this city the congress Of the
Daughters OF the American Revolu-
ton, and Washington extends its
usual hearty welcome to the national
body, which has grown so remark
ably from the small beginnings here
years ago. The D. A. r. has become
one of the important factors in ma
tional life. 1t is not only keeping
alive the memory of the sacrifices of
those who laid the foundations of the
republic in the war against England,
but it is carrying. into practical eff
feet tic ideals OF American civiliza-
,ron. In many ways it IS quicken
ing the life of the people and hold
ug them true to the highest concept
Of responsibility to the state.
This organization has prospered
exceedingly because II is founded
upon sound principle, and its
growth is most gratifying to the peo-
pie OF Washington, who have always
frlt the keenest interest in it because
Of its origin here. 1t has created for
itself home of exceptional attract
iveness which fits into the scheme
Of Washington's physical equipment
Its annual meetings are always en-
Evening and interesting.

The Call to Action.

The call "Clean up-paint up" is
more than mere phrase. 1t is a
summons to action that will be heed
ed by the citizens of Washington
generally. This is confidently be-
lieyed because of the almost univer-
sal response heretofore whenever the
citizens have been urged to improve
the appearance of the capital by rid
ding it of refuse. Two weeks are al
lotted to the cleanup work, which
has wider scope this year than
usual. Householders are expected
not only to make their premises neat
and wholesome, but to make them
more attractive than heretofore by
the use of paint. Judging from the
activities of the painters thus far this
spring, the admonition has been OBJ
served in exceptional degree in ad-
vance Of the formal fortnight of mu-
nicipal housekeeping.
Everybody can do something these
two weeks to make Washington more
attractive. just at this time there is
the best opportunity to make show
ing for improvement. Lawns can be
cultivated. vines trimmed. flower beds
treated. borders made more neat and
exact. In the next two weeks Wash
ington will have put on its full foil
age OF spring. and the best work can
be done now to bring the city to its
highest state OF attractivcness BY
putting out OF sight and DESTROYING
every scrap OF refuse. # the city is
given thorough cleaning IRON end
to end during these fourteen days il
will be far healthier than ever be-
fore through the material reduction
Of the fly pest with its consequent
carriage OF disease

Sunday Motor Accidents.

Yesterday was fair and fine
throughout the east, and as a CON
sequence motorists went forth in all
directions for pleasure riding. Hun
dreds OF thousands Of people were
thus carried about on long and short
runs, and in the main they enjoyed
themselves greatly. But certain
part of them went too fast for real
pleasure or for safety, and while the
percentage of casualties was perhaps
not great. the days list OF mishaps
was nevertheless shockingly long.
Here are some OF the accidents: At
Lake Hopatcong, \. J., car going
at good speed struck soft spot in
the road and turned turtle, killing
two people; at Patchogue~ L. l., a
touring car carrying three men
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1915-04-19

crashed into cottage, and wrecked
it, causing serious bruises to occu-
pants of both cottage and car; at
Egg Harbor. N. J., man was killed
in the overturn of a touring car
while the driver was trying to over
take another machine: two women
were badly cut in a collision between
two motors. Motor cycles figured i'll
several accidents, and deaths will
probably result later from some OF
them. All these casualties may be
classed as preventable. They are due
usually to overreliance upon ma
chinery that has its absolute limita-
tons, and that is in turn dependent
upon road conditions. Taking
chances of all kinds, the marvel is
that with the highways so full of high
powered cars there are not many
more overturns and collisions. and
yet every one that occurs may be at
tributed to some ones care1essness
or inattention or recklessness.

quiet all questions regarding Japan's
intentions there. The naval officer
declares after personal examina-

at Turtle bay is devoted exclusively
to the salvaging of the cruiser
Asama, grounded in December. The
sensational tales of elaborate prepa-
rations to establish naval base, of
mines planted at the entrance to the
harbor, of landing force of several
thousand marines, of large fleet and
Of work on a wireless station all pass

Nor be turned into mud by the

We won't have discussions that
bother the mind
While lengthy inquiries hold sway.
Well all be uplifted and highly re

And wholly contspted, some day.
Some day we won't fear for the crops
or the fruit,
Nor fret at taxation's demand;
We will not be reused by the can
mons salute,
Nor by thoughtless opinions off
hand.
Pragmatical prattlers no longer will
carp.
But when we get there, we are told,
Well be wearing halo and playing

Running conditions were ideal. There

marks around the track. j. VI. Burke
was allowed $50 yards from scratch,
d. J. Mahoney 100 yards, and j. W.
Ryan 10 yards. All four runners
started with the pistol. Taber soon

and Burke who carried the champion
through the last half mile. Taber over
took Burke about fifty yards from the
tape. He seemed scarcely blown at the
finish, and offered 10 run a half mile

If Frank W. Dyer, of Montclair. con-

he displayed o-day on the links of the

Although Dyer defeated Canaan by
5 and 8 margin, the Harvard player
might have carried the match much
farther had he been able to putt with
any degree of accuracy. Beginning
with the fifth, Canaan lost opportunity
to halve at six straight holes because
he missed short puts. Dyer went out
in 81 and turned for home up.
Coming back the Montclair golfer
played par golf, getting a SO for the in
ward 9. His 73 is the best by an ANA
