be so much in favor of anybody as he
will be opposed to Mr.. Roosevelt. All
his ability will be exerted toward pre-
venting the nomination of the former
President by the republican conven-
ton.
New York will be very much in the
picture at Chicago. She will attend
for the purpose of securing the nomi-
nation for one of her own sons-she
has several she considers likely-or,
failing that, of saying whose son shall
receive it. And work of such impor-
lance at meeting of such conse-
quence should have the attention of
men thoroughly qualified to perform
it.
The republican convention is going
to be noteworthy, and all the notables
should be on hand. If not as dele
gates, let them attend as spectators,
and all who do attend, standpatters
and progressives alike, should have
square deal. In union alone is
strength; and the republicans are far
from union. Unless brought together
under forward-looking leader stand
ing on a forward-pointing platform
they will go into the campaign heavily
handicapped, and be threatened with
another defeat through internal dis
sensions.

The Chamber of Commerce.

President Moran, in his annual ad-
dress at the meeting of the Chamber
OF Commerce the other night, re-
viewed scope of activity in that or
ganization which comprises virtually
the community life of the District
during the past twelve months. The
Chamber of Commerce, comprised of
representatives of the business in
terests OF the city, is valuable factor
in Washington's development and the
presidential view OF its work is
compendium OF a most useful career.
One particular item of Mr.. Moran's
report is OF especial interest, that
which deals with the development of
the city's recreation facilities. A prof.
ect is in contemplation for the utili-
cation of lower Potomac Park for
this purpose, and stress was laid in
the report upon the urgency of early
action by Congress to effect this end.
II the plans now drawn are carried
into execution Washington will have
an equipment for public recreation
second to none in the world. The
Chamber OF Commerce, realizing that
the health of the city, no less than
its civic spirit, depends upon oppor-
tunities for public recreation, will
doubtless perform valuable service
during the present session in urging
the early approval and execution of
these plans.

Sumner I. Kimball.

Sumner l. Kimball's retirement
from active duty as superintendent
of the life-saving service closes a re-
markable career of usefulness and
public value. For hfty-four years he
has been identified with this branch
of the government. He has been
the main factor in the development
of AN institution which has to its
credit a wonderful record of human
ity. During the more than half CEN
fury of his Identification with the
life-saving work Mr.. Kimball has
witnessed the evolution of appliances
and methods far superior to those in
use when he started. And yet there
is no change in the elementary factor
of life-saving on our coasts. Human
courage is the basis of this endeavor,
and no matter what the devices and
the apparatus the quality of the men
in the lifeboats determines the meas
ure of success attending upon this
work.

The Department of Justice Building

Attorney General Gregory has stat
ed the housing needs OF the Depart
ment of Justice in his letter to Chair
man Clark OF the House public build
ings committee in terms that permit
of no question OF the urgency of this
matter. The department IS housed in
seven buildings. none of which is suit
ed to the use to which it is put, and
all of which are not only inconven-
lent, but insecure The health of the
clerks is in jeopardy and the public
records are subjected to a grave risk
In the matter of the library alone the
present equipment OF the department
is sufficient to arouse the corrective
interest of Congress Immediately.
This library, comprising $4,000 vol
ufnes. in daily use and of the most
vitality important service, is crowded
in rooms wholly unsuited to it and so
arranged by the use of makeshift
shelving that in places it is impossible,
for two persons to pass. These rooms
are i'll lighted and i'll ventilated The
building Inspector has made adverse
reports upon the conditions that pre-
vail in the various buildings of the
department and the makeshifts adopt
ed have barely enabled the govern
ment to comply with its own laws re-
specting the safeguarding of life and
property. So heavily weighted are
the floors in some of the rooms that
a disaster is not an inconceivable re-
suit of this procrastinatory, parsi-
monious policy of the government.
If at the present session provision is
not made for the prompt beginning OF
the work of building a suitable home
for the Department OF Justice Con-
gress will have dangerously failed in
the discharge of an imperative duty.

a bureau which has effected the saw
ing of thousands of lives, Mr.. Kimball
has believed always in the surfman
as the primary agent of salvation.
Perhaps to no other one is due so
distinctively the credit of the ulti-
mate achievement of making provi-
sion for these men after long period
of service in the surfboats and on the
patrol beats on the coast. He has
fought for retirement for the surfmen
in and out of season, and it is happy
reward for him that he should have
witnessed this accomplishment. so
long delayed. 1t is appropriate that
he, to whom so much honor and
credit are now due, should himself
enjoy the benefit of retirement from
active duty, and the hope is that he
will long enjoy his rest from the
burden of official responsibility, which
he has borne so ably during more
than fifty years.

The President and Preparedness.

The President is we'll advised in his
purpose to address the public on the
subject of preparedness. His address
to Congress, clear enough in its way,
did not convince that body, and did
not silence certain outside criticism
OF his attitude.
1t may not be known to the Presi-
dent, but it is fact, that in millen-
nialistic circles he stands accused of
playing politics with this subject. His
conversion is described as too sud-
den to have proceeded from fuller in
quiry and later conviction. For a
while a rnillennialist himself, and,
when one, describing preparedness
as academic he faced about and
called for an adequate national de-
Tense.
The opposition charges that this
shift OF foot grew out of the discov-
cry by the President of the need of
new issue for his second campaign.
Preparedness, he believed, was grow
ing in popular favor. He was looking
forward to denomination. and wanted
to make new appeal for support
Hence his adoption of what he had
previously rejected.
And so it is that the millennialists
and particularly those in the demo-
cratic party-question the serious
ness OF his present attitude. They
have persuaded themselves that he
is not dead in earnest; that he has
gone over to the other side without
taking sufficiently into account all
involved in the matter.
Here, then, is the Presidents task.
He should make it entirely plain that
he does mean what he says; that the
actual situation called for his change
of view, and that, having changed it,
he is behind his present view with
all the force and power of his Office
Nothing less will serve the cause to
which he is now committed.
There is a good deal to be done;
and the President is late in starting.
The other side has been active for
months. Ever since he left the cab
met Mr.. Bryan has been canvassing
against preparedness. He has made
as many speeches on that subject and
to as large audiences as he did on the
subject of silver in the same length of
time while he was specializing on
finance. He has sought thus to infu-
ence senators and representatives
through their constituents.
The danger in Congress is not so
much to the issue of preparedness
per Sc as to the issue in its relation
to revenue. To put this country into
the proper state of defense will cost
large sum of money; and the millen-
nialists just now are harping on the
subject of taxation, and trying to per-
suade the country that the burden is
too heavy to be shouldered. As a mis-
sionary the President has a wide field
and should go to it,

Looking Forward.

Some day when peace again prevails
we'll use the simple speech
That plain old English grammer put
securely in our reach,
And not be spelling out the towns
that show within one name
More letters than the number of in
habitants they claim.
Some day we'll brush away the
And not be tracing boundary lines
where tumult fills the air.
Some day we'll toss aside the dull
and heavy thinking cap
And look at pictures fine, instead of
studying map.
Some day we'll see the blossoms
spring where desolation reigns,
And hear the songs of happiness
where sullen grief complains.
The generous hand will be stretched
forth while hearts are beating
warm.
Some day we'll greet the rainbow and
forget the weary storm.

Barnes.

Mr.. Barnes as rover" at Chicago
free from the cares, restrictions and
responsibilities that attach to a dele
gate at national convention-will be
a very interesting figure. Interesting
ut all times, new interest will attach

He likes politics, and plays the
game according to Hoyle. He is will
ing to work for all he gets, and he
enjoys making the other fellow work
for all he gets. There is no time for
nodding or loahng when Mr.. Barnes
is sitting in" His qualities as poll
tician are pugnacity, staying power
and an inspiring unreasonableness.
just now Mr.. Barnes is very eager
and active man. His one-time friend,
but now-time enemy Theodore
Roosevelt-is maneuvering for a
presidential nomination; and this is a
challenge to the Albany leader. He
has accepted it, and is girding up.
Although he would find much to do
inside the convention, he will not lack
for employment outside. The town
will be full of people. Two conven-
tons will be going at once. Negotia-
tors will be travelling from one to the
other. Propositions for union will be
met with counter propositions.
To = veteran performer this will be
truly delightful. Mr.. Barnes will
revel in it. He may be relied upon to
know the meaning of every move
made by others, and to make some
meyes himself. He will probably not

More Mexican Horrors.

Additional reports come today of
further massacres in Mexico, attrib-
uted to Villa troops in the Chihuahua
district. 1t is stated that ten Ameri-
can men and two English women
have been slain, bringing the total of
thirty-one. This second outrage tends
to justify the early belief that the
killings are in pursuit of fixed pol
icy of slaughter by the Villistas, for
what purpose can only be surmised.
Recently Villa declared that he in
tended to kill all the Americans
whom he could reach and evidently
he is carrying out his threat system
atically.
Villas purpose is probably to cause
trouble for Carranza rather than to
wreak vengeance upon the Americans
for what he is said to regard as the
betrayal of his cause by this govern
ment's recognition of his rival To
the extent that he can rouse Ameri-
can anger against the Mexican gov
eminent he succeeds in his purpose,
even though he is primarily the OBJ
ject of hatred on this side of the
border. 1t is a suicidal game, what
ever happens to Carranza, and this
fact must be taken into consideration
in the shaping of this governments
policy in the present situation.

tinued. ''If we have Senators and Rep
