East Potomac Park Drive.

A new driveway, and one afford
ing impressive views, has been open
ed to travel. In the news it is said
that "the new macadanized drive
way around the margin of the PENN
sula of Potomac Park east OF the
Pennsylvania railroad embankment
has just been completed and thrown
open to public use" The completion
OF the roadway along the Washing
ton channel side of East Potomac
Park was fastened by direction of
Col. Harris. engineer officer in charge
of public buildings and grounds, that
it might be ready for use during en-
campment week. With the opening
of this long piece of road persons i'll
motors and other vehicles may make
smooth and comfortable circuit of
Potomac Park and enjoy rare vistas
of river and hill. At the tip of the
peninsula one may look far down
the Potomac and in fair weather
make out the hills which mark the
site of Fort Washington, and where
the river bends to the westward and
passes from view. The steeples of
Alexandria are in the picture, and
one may also look across the East
ern branch and to the fine hills that
rise beyond that stream. Washing
ton harbor, its wharves and shipping
are spread before one who passes
over this new road.
The opening of new drive not
only unfolds new panorama, but
increases the effectiveness of the
older drives with which it is con-
nected. When Potomac Park is con-
nected with the Geological grounds
and Rock Creek Park it will not only
create new parkland in lower Rock
Creek valley. but immensely increase
the availability and value OF the older
parklands.

Eastern High School Case.

Another hitch occurs in the mat
ter of Washington's new Eastern
High School. The action of the Dis
trict Commissioners in directing the
corporation counsel to take the re-
quired measures for the dismissal of
the condemnation proceedings for
the acquisition OF the proposed site
between East Capitol and A, 18TH and
10Th streets northeast, will delay for
an indefinite time the consummation
of this important local project.
In rejecting the award of the con-
demnation commission the District
Commissioners hold that the award
was out of due proportion to the as
sessed valuation of the site. 1t ap-
pears from the statement of the Dis
trict Commissioners that the award
of condemnation was for sum near
ly three times the assessed value of
the land.
There will be large measure of
regret that the trouble has occurred,
because not only will it delay the
creation of the new school plant,
sadly needed for many years, but also
because it will reopen the whole con-
troversy as to the proper site. On
the other hand. the rejection of the
award and the proposed dismissal of
the condemnation proceedings will
be welcome news to a considerable
and influential part OF the people of
East Washington, who were never
reconciled to the site chosen. Their
preference is for that tract known
as reservation No. I3-the reserva-
ton on which stand the jail. the
smallpox hospital, the quarantine
buildings, the crematorium for the
incarceration of unclaimed human
bodies. numerous buildings of the
Washington Asylum Hospital, the
stables of the jail and hospital, the
disinfecting plant, and the grim and
tenantless structures which were

The Wanderlusters.

The Washington wanderlusters
have given another manifestation of
their public spirit and their spirit of
service by planning short walk for
Sunday for the purpose Of entertain
ing such OF the civil war veterans
and their relatives and friends as
wish to journey afoot with them.
The wanderlust movement has done
great deal of good in the encour-
agement it has given to walking and
to the study OF wild flowers, birds
and other nature subjects. The
crowd of wanderlusters which passes
through the country every Sunday
in fair weather or in rain, sleet or
snow does not express the whole
value of the movement. Thousands
of city people who generally got no
nearer the country than park, or
if they went to the country whirled
through in a trolley car or an auto
mobile, contracted the walking taste
and walking habit from the parent
crowd" OF wanderlusters, and then
have struck out for themselves across
the fields and through the woods.
There is no estimating the num-
Der OF Washington men and women
who have had their first taste OF ma
ture study on these community walks
and with their eyes or minds opened
to the wonders of the out-of-doors
have followed a course of study or
line of reading which has broad
ened their understanding.

The Next Democratic Platform.

Why speculate at this time, as some
are doing. about the next democratic
national platform? Who may say
what it should contain? Who may
say whether foreign or domestic
questions will be uppermost in the
public mind at that time? The de-
mocracy must. OF course, accommo-
date itself to the situation.
There is safety in the statement,
however. that the party learned
something at Baltimore it will not
soon forget. 1t did things there it
cannot afford to repeat. 1t took
chances which ii taken again might
prove disastrous.
AT Baltimore the platform was
overshadowed by personalities. There
was a ripping fight for the nominal
ton. AT the start it looked like
Clark. Then Wilson began to gain.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1915-09-25

Then came the threat of a deadlock
with talk about compromise man
Would he be Bryan. or Underwood,
or Marshall? But the sky cleared
and Clark and Wilson fought it out
The subordination OF the platform
occasioned shipshod work. The IN
strument as adopted carried cxtrava-
gances. absurdities and insincerities'
As result, when the Congress elect
ed to carry out the platform met the
party was thrown into confusion. 1t
discovered that the high cost of liv-
ing could not be reduced by legisla-
ton. 1t also discovered that re-
duction of three hundred million dol
lars a year in the appropriations
could not be made. No such waste
existed. 1t was asked by the Presi-
dent specifically to repudiate the
pledge as to the free passage of
American coastwise ships through
the Panama canal, And so on. In
the end the platform went to the
scrap-heap.
Next year the platform will be the
conventions leading consideration.
In effect, the ticket will already have
been nominated. The convention will
simply put its approval on what
party sentiment has agreed upon. In
all probability no other names but
those of Wilson and Marshall will
be presented. This will enable the
convention to act with soberness and
deliberation i'll the matter of issues ;
to listen when the platform is read,
and cut out both the hifalutin' and
the hapdoodle which too often do
duty in political campaigns.
The prize convention assignments
next year will, therefore, be those of
the platform makers. Upon how they
do their work. whether we'll or i'll,
much will depend when the cam
paign opens.

Some day-it won't be very long
Well sing the old Thanksgiving song,
And gather round the ample board
With joy and confidence restored.

Another bird will greet the eye.
The turkey, with complacent stride,
Draws near and fills our hearts with
pride.
The turkey does not gently COO.
Its tones of sentiment are few.
Though gorgeous plumage it may
claim,
Utility provides its fame.
A gentle quietude of mind
His visit always leaves behind.
Though of the dove we are bereft,
Thank heaven, we'll have the turkey
left.

successfully defended the sixteenth

rounds of blank cartridges and about
ten gallons OF honest sweat.
The occasion was the annual sham
battle OF the high school soldiers, but
the warm weather reduced the num-
Der of participants The Business
and Mckinley high school companies
formed the defending force, while
Central, Eastern, and Western men
made the attack. The former were

Orders had been given the boys not
to fire at range of less than 100
yards, for fear Of injury being done
by the wads. but n the iexcitement some
shots were fired at troops scarcely ten
yards away. but no damage resulted.
Lyin- behind fences, hillocks. and trees
the opposing forces blazed away. Their
movements were somewhat hampered
by gardens and chicken yards. which
even the exigencies Of the situation
would not allow them to invade.
