The Hotel Hole.

Reports that the Arlington Hotel
project is to be soon revived are cir
culating and cause qualification on
the part of those citizens who have
deplored the unsightly and possibly
unsafe condition at Vermont avenue
and II street. where, for many
months. great hole has remained
the sole token of an enterprise that,
first promising a noteworthy addition
to the city's equipment, failed
through lack of financial sup
port. Quite apart from the bust
ness considerations involved, the
utilization of the Arlington hole" in
some suitable manner is to be wei
coined, to cure an eyesore that has
not failed to give distinctly bad i'm
preston regarding Washington to
multitudes of people who have Wis
tied the capital during the past year
or so.

trees which shade the streets of
Washington, detracts in consider
able measure from the charm of the
city. Washington is famous for its
shade trees, carefully maintained at
the expense of the District govern
ment. The difficulties of securing a
permanent lawn about the base of
each tree are obvious, but not insur-
mountablc, provided all concerned
act with common purpose.
Upon the individual property
owner and the superintendent Of
trees and parking devolves the orig
inal effort of seeing that the needed
grass is planted. 1t is safe to assume
that evidence of an earnest desire on
the part of the general public will
meet with every possible assistance
and encouragement at the Office of
the superintendent. where SO much
has been done in the past to beau
tify the District. And once the grass
is planted, the insuring of the perma-
nenoy of the little lawns depends
entirely upon the care taken by the
casual pedestrian to confne his feet
to the sidewalks provided for his
benefit.
Thus, by cooperation. a needed
improvement can be accomplished,
by which Washington will take an
other step forward in its progress
toward becoming the most beautiful
city in the world.

Gov. Frank Black.

The name Of the late Frank Black
figures at Syracuse. He was a strong
man. of character and ability, elo-
quent and downright. He was
neither boss nor bossable. A good
party man. he yet showed indie
pendence Of party dictation when he
thought independence necessary to
the public welfare. As the phrase
is, he wore his own hat and nobody's
collar.
Elected Governor Of New York, he
was allowed but one term. He want
ed second. But Thomas c. Platt,
then the head of the republican or
Kanization in the state. and very
powerful, had other plans; and Gov.
Black was set aside. and practically
disappeared from politics. He would

White House. He died prematurely,
lamented 6y men of both parties.

W bA4Ci VI WV"
In casting about for successor to
Gov Black. Mr.. Platt-one of the
shrewdest of politicians-found his
man in Theodore Roosevelt, then
fresh from Cuba, where he had
achieved reputation as soldier. The
matter was in Mr.. Platt's hands. If
he said Roosevelt, the party would
echo the say.
There were some negotiations.
Mr.. Platt had heard that Mr.. Roose-
welt was impulsive, and not alto
gether sound on the goose" He
wanted to know about that. Inquiry
quoted his fears, and he accepted
Mr.. Roosevelt, elected him governor,
and was often in consultation with
him, by letter or otherwise, respect
ing legislation and the party's gem
eral welfare.
That was the beginning of Mr..
Roosevelt's real national consequence.
1t is to be doubted if had he not been
Governor of New York-a pivotal
state in the presidential equation
he would have been nominated for
Vice President in 1900. He would
have been a very attractive figure.
simply as the former colonel of the
Rough Riders. But it was the Rough
Rider reinforced by the successful
New York politician who carried the
day at Philadelphia. Otherwise, Mr..
Deliver of Iowa, or Gov. Black, had
he been reelected, would probably
have been chosen. Mr.. Roosevelt
was chosen, elected, and in line for
the White House when death struck
President Mckinley down at Buffalo.
Here, then. is the interesting spec
tacle of a man who accepted his
start in national life at the hands of
a boss-a boss no less because easy"
-conferring with that boss. first at
Albany and then here in Washing
ton, now fitting on the witness stand
in court against bosses and bossism
and urging their extinction. So runs
the world away.

If the Democrats Lose.

The republicans firmly believe
they arc scheduled to come back.
There are democrats examining that
belief with apprehension. They are
preparing for fight all along the
line. and realize that if they lose the
party will be left in bad plight
maybe unprccedentedly bad.
At the close of the civil war the
democracy looked moribund. The
overwhelming defeat of Mcclellan
the year before had left it almost
lifcless and hopeless. But by 1868 it
had rallied somewhat. although still
unable to elect its candidate for
President
Four years later it seemed to have
a chance through a republican di-
vision. But its nomination of Gree
ley was colossal blunder. and it
was again all but annihilated.
1t was not until 1885. twenty-four
years after the retirement OF Buchan-
an. that the democracy came back,
BY an eyelash fnish-and that dis
puted-Cleveland was declared the
winner over Blaine. He was de-
feated in 1888, but won handily in
1892.
At the close of Cleveland's second
term the democracy was again in a
sad way. East and west were at log
gerheads. Eastern democrats ac-
cused western democrats of being
under the thumb of the silver mining
power, while western democrats re-
torted with the charge that the east
ern democrats were under the thumb
of Wall street. Between 1897 and
IoI3-sixteen years-the republicans
controlled the presidency, and be-
tween 1897 and 1oI1-fourteen years
they controlled both houses of Con
gress.
Buchanan's failure cost the democ-
racy twenty-four years of power. and
C1eveland's sixteen. If Wilson fails.
what will be the cost?
The democracy is being held to-
gether now with difficulty. There
arc differences as to policies. and
some very sharp personal rivalries.
Capitalization, bordering closely, as
some charge, on state socialism, has
crept into the party of Jefferson.
The ship purchase bill was a stag
gerer to many old-time democrats.
north and south; and few southern
democrats organized its defeat. And
now comes prohibition, with the
President pointing one way and his
premier the other, and apparently no
middle ground for a meeting.
The democracy has shown remark
able recuperative power, and may
still possess it in abundance, but all
OF 1t will be necessary if the country
repudiates the Wilson administration
