intrinsically not worth the pains that
have been taken to bring him to win

it creates is ample compensation.
Washington's interest in the horse is
understandable. There are exceptional
opportunities here for the enjoyment of
the road behind we'll trained animals,
or on the back of smooth gated mounts.
The highways and the parks afford un-

Washington and the Horse.

Local lovers of the horse-and they
are legion despite the advance of the
automobile in popularity and use-re-
joice in the exceptionally attractive ex-
hibition which opens today in this city.
A horse show which is declared by those
competent to judge to be the best open
air exhibit Of the kind ever held in this
country begins this afternoon.
Predictions of the passing of the horse
have long since been proved false. This
noble creature is still the favorite of
man. No perfection Of the mechanical
devices for transportation can force his
elimination. He is first of all alive, and
he is intelligent. He does his work with
pride, and he responds to suggestion
promptly and eagerly. No one can fail
to gain new conception of the horse
upon witnessing for the first time the
performances in the ring at a show and
seeing the evident realization by the ami
mails that they are in competition for
honors.
A well bred and we'll trained horse is
worthy of all the affection that his mas
ter bestows upon him. He repays the

Ideal Washington Weather.

This is the kind of weather that makes
Washington in May famous. The clear
sky. the clean atmosphere. the fresh
green of the grass and the trees. the
bright blooms in the parks and gardens
are characteristic of the capital at this
season. Days like this are enjoyed by
the visitor to Washington to the full.
Sight seeing" is rare pleasure here
in such circumstances. A tour of the
District is at any time an occasion of
pleasure and profit, but when the
weather is of the present quality there
is no alloy to the joy of the tourist.
No other city in the country possesses
so many outdoor attractions or so many
reasons to make the visitor want to re
peat his trip. 1t is no wonder that thou
sands of those who come here during
the wear cherish desire some day to
live in Washington. Who can tell what
political ambitions are stirred by the
experience of round of the sights" of

Ba by Week.

| Washington begins observance of
''baby week" today. in an effort to pro-
mote public education in the matter of
the conservation of infant life. Moth
! ing is more important to any people
than the health of the little ones who
are soon to take their places in the
ranks of manhood and womanhood. OF
recent years this question of infant care
has received the most thoughtful atten-
| ton of scientists. Ailments that were
supposed to be inevitable have been
studied and means have been found to
| prevent them or to cure them when
| they develop. 1t is no longer regarded
as necessary that little children should
suffer from certain ills as a test of their
chances of life. Parental training has
been found to be necessary. with in
! struction in the matter of feeding and
! general care of the children, and many
| agencies are now at work doing this
| valuable work. societies of volunteers
and professionals. who are guiding the
, mothers of the land in the proper treat
ment of their offspring.
The old Spartan method of elimina-
tion has fortunately for the world long
since been discarded as inhumane and

garded as worthy of the best chance.
| not the poorest. and the world has great
iy benefited by the rearing of the chill
seemed to have destined to early death.
Common sense is the guiding prin-
ciple of infant care. Theories have been
tested and many have been abandoned,
after scientific inquiry, and now there
is no lack of knowledge as to the best
means of giving the child the best
chance for health. The government has
| taken a hand in the establishment of a
children's bureau, which is spreading
! information of value throughout the
land and establishing a uniform stand
| ard of infant treatment which cannot
| fail TO have a wholesome effect upon the
new generation.
Baby week. should become an annual
| institution, to arrest the thought of the
people yearly to this vitality important
matter. Better babies becomes the ma
tional slogan Washington has taken
heartily to the idea, and its prepara-
| tions for this week of instruction and
advancement have been such that great
| success must flow from the effort. A
strong generation will result il every
one pays attention to the valuable
truths that are disclosed in the course
of these seven days of exposition and

Two Republican Candidates.

Interviewed at Columbia, Mo-. last
evening, Mr.. Bryan said:
The political situation is somewhat
complicated by the fact that we do not
know how completely the republican
party will be reunited. Our success four
years ago was due to the division in the
party, and our chances this year will
he materially bettered if the republi
cans put up two candidates
Thankful for favor received. Mr..
Bryan expects. and in a way respectfully
solicits. another of the same kind.
There is an exhibition of frankness
as well as of gratitude here. Though
awarded the credit by his admirers Mr..
Bryan gives to the republicans the credit
for Mr. Wilson's election. He does not
hold that without republican help the
democrats could have won in 1912 1t
was the republican division that brought
the democracy in. Hence Mr.. Bryan's
hope that the division may show again.
Our chances this wear will be material
lv bettered if the republicans put up
two candidates"
There is no risk in saving that. if
allowed to name one of those candi-
dates, Mr. Bryan would name Mr. Roose-
welt. whom. partly for the purpose of
nagging the republicans, he still classi-
fes as republican. As four years ago
Mr.. Roosevelt demonstrated great power
as bolter. Mr. Bryan believes he could
repeat the performance.
Well. this is at once a tribute and
warning. If the republicans are wise
they will note and heed the warning
United, they will have a fine chance
to stand; divided, they will be certain
to fall again. Mr.. Roosevelt is the hope
and principal asset of the democratic
party.
With larger experience, and the con
sequent wider vision, Mr.. Bryan does
not go to the extreme of some of the
administrations supporters. He does
not see, as they profess to do, situa-
tion so strong for the democracy it can
rely for success in November solely
upon the record made in Office They
declare indifference as to what the re-
pubiicans may do. either as to candidate
or platform. He wants the party's
chances materially bettered,' and the
enemy to help.
The republicans have notice from all
sides. They are especially fortunate in
the notice frequently received from the
opposition. Democrats of the grade of
Mr.. Bryan do not give their address as
Easy street. They see a struggle ahead
calling for all the resources they can
command, and all the resources the re-
publicans fail to command. And if with
this abundant notice the republicans fail
at Chicago, they will deserve the failure
that will await them in the country at
large in November.

The American Bible Society.

America is now old enough to observe
centenaries of organizations. and they
are coming along with rapidity that is
wholesome proof of the success of move
ments for the public welfare. When q
society of people can be continued with
out a break for hundred years it is
undoubtedly serving a valuable end. This
is unmistakably the record Of the Ameri
can Bible Society, which is today be-
ginning a week of jubilee observances
with a pageant commemorative of the
completion Of 100 years of organiza
tion.
II is impossible to compute the value
TO humanity Of the work of this society
which has been carried on throughout
the world. In the face of great discour-
agements and against formidable OBJ
stacles, with a zeal springing from the
consciousness of right doing, this society
has sent the Scriptures broadcast. Many
millions Of copies of the Bible have been
distributed by It's means. Translations
into every known language and dialec,
have been effected. Missionaries in every
Seld have been supplied with this most
effective means of enlightenment.
The American Bible Society developed
from unsatisfactory conditions existing
in the new republic in the matter of tn,
supply of Scriptural text. A number Of
local societies had been organized as ,

An Analysis.

In the first nine-tenths of Germany's
note concerning submarine warfare it is
argued vigorously that the reasons stated
by the United States for the American
demand either do not exist or have no
merit, and the United States is accused
of unneutral discrimination in making it.
Next in a dozen lines, quoting the
new order to submarine commanders,
Germany complies with the American
demand
Finally Germany reserves the right, if
Great Britain continues to misbehave,
to cease to comply with the American
demand.
