The National View

Borah Speaks out.-"We have
cringed and crawled, We have humili-
ated ourselves. debauched our gov
ernment, discredited union labor and
settled nothing" In these singing
words Senator Borah expressed the
opinion, shared but not voiced by a
large number OF his more umorous
colleagues, he entertalns regarding
the railway bill which President Will
son has just forced Congress 10 pass.
This will prove only the begin
ming and that no man can foresee
where the end will be is tho opinion
of many members of Congress. BY
a curious coincidence, three big New
York dailies announced the passage
of the railway wage bill with strik-
lngly similar headlines The World

and for two years the owners haze
struggled to regain possession, only
to be treated with as great contempt
as Carranza has always shown
President Wilson and his every rep
rtsentation. During the years. 1913
and 1914, this railroad earned an
annual profit OF $3.50. 900, not
large return on the Investment but
still something. Then Carran2a
seized 1t, and in 1915 it paid
deficit Of over $2S,000,0D0. The
state department has assured the
stockholders that the Carranza gov

"PitilcsS Publicity" President
Wilson is so angercd by the dis
closure of the facts regarding the
army in Mexico and especially Gen.
Funston's recommendation that
Pershings command be Withdrawn
that he has appointed a special in

correspondents are being grilled in

where they got the information The

into denying these reports which
were truc--and so some one must

To Reader of History. President
Wilson likes to refer to himself as
"a historian" and often uses the ex-
preston. From my reading of his
tory" A New York historian. whose
name Is unimportant, asserts that
either Mr.. Wilson's reading OF his
tory has been superficial. or that no
lacks the courage to govern his acts
according to history's hest prece-
dents, He cites n statement OF that
eminent Democratic Secretary of
state, Josiah Quincy. Quincy
wrote: But to my eye, the
path of our duty is as direct
as the Milky Way. 1t is the path of
active preparation. of dignifled ener-

war Is not to fear It, The idea that

war Is inculcated too studiously
among Us. Disgrace is worse.
Abandonment of essential rights is
worse!"
This same historian also calls Mr..
Wilson's attention to a message sent
by Secretary Blaine to our minister
at Mexico City. The minister, Mr..
Morgan, had reported to Washington
certain outrages perpetrated on
Americans in remote part Of MeXl-
co. He received from Mr.. Blaine this
cablegram: Read this to the min
lister Of foreign affairs. Outrages on
American citizens must stop, not next
week but now And II they do not,
the entire power of this government
will be brought to bear to stop them.

the large Sunday attendance, follow

most gratifying proof OF the po-
tential value OF this great plant col
lection to the public. In its present
location the garden is easy of &C
cess. but it should have more space.
Immediately to the west is section
of the Mall that is at present in a
low state of development. There is
space here for additional green
houses and for the planting of rare
trees and shrubs. which would make
this section OF the park an object of
interest to the people.
Whatever is done should be done
soon. for the garden is handicapped

The Botanic Garden.

In aninterview printed in The Star
yesterday Senator Williams OF Mis-
sissippi, chairman of the library COM
mittee, expressed the feeling that the
Botanic Garden should not be re-
moved from its present location. but
should be given additional facilities
in the Mall for its proper develop
ment. This question of the gardens
possible removal to another site has
been under consideration for some
years, and meanwhile its facilities
have been neglected. An carly de-
cision should be made as to the future
OF this most valuable and important
institution
Two sites have been proposed, Po-
tomac Park and Rock Creek Park.
in either OF which the garden would
undoubtedly find abundant room.
But neither Potomac Park nor Rock
Creek Park affords the same facility
of public access as the present situa-
ton. That this is factor to be consid-
cred is proved by the greatly increased
public attendance at the garden
since the experiment was tried OF
opening the gates on Sunday. This
innovation brought thousands OF peo-
pie into the garden who had never
before visited it.
The educational influence of the
garden is beyond easy reckoning, and

now. They do not want to repeat it
