an imposition. It is, Of course, desir-
able that this force of men should be
neat, but surely white duck is not the
best sort of material for the costume for
men who are required to sweep and
scrape up the dirt of the streets. One
of the members Of the association sug-
gested that uniforms similar to those
worn by soldiers would be more appro-
pirate and would be just as neat. This
is worth considering. When hand street
cleaning was established some years
ago there was an idea that the white
garb of the men would symbolic the
effort to keep the thoroughfares in first
class order. The men were called white
wings in token of the example they
were supposed to set to the citizens.
The ideal of clean streets is surely we'll
enough established now to permit a
change to more practical costume, and
certainly one that will not be such a
serious burden upon the undergrad
workers.

The white Wings"

While subcommittee of the House
is hearing testimony on the inadequate
wages paid by the government to some
of it's minor employees a similar demon
stration is being made with reference
to the District pay roll. At a meeting
of the Central Citizens Association the
other night it was stated that one of the
white wings" or city street cleaners,
had complained that he received only
$l50 day and that out of this he is
compelled to furnish two clean suits of
white weekly. He must pass inspection,
and if his clothes are unduly soiled he
is subjected to penalty. Apart from
the question of pay, the requirement
that the street cleaner. constantly en-
gagged in the dirtiest kind of work, keep
his white uniform spotless appears as

Amending the Connecting Park Plan

A protest has been entered against a
change in the plan for the connection
of Rock Creek and Potomac parks, af-
feeling the situation in the neighbor-
hood of the Connecticut Avenue bridge
The original plan Of acquisition of land
was such as to insure an effective street
frontage upon the creek valley, afford
ing clear view from its banks of the
bridge, which is regarded as one of the
most impressive structures of it's Kind
in this country. 1t has been proposed
to reduce the area of land acquisitions
in such way as to shut off this view,
on the plea that as result of the de-
lay in the condemnation certain build
ing operations of no great value have
been undertaken upon the land in ques-
ton.
The original plan should be adhered
to in the execution of this work except
for the few changes contemplated by
the amendatory legislation. Some re-
adjustments are undoubtedly necessary
at the lower end, notably with refer
ence to the outlet of the canal and the
avoidance of certain difficulties of a
physical character, but as a whole the
connecting park plan ought to be put
through with the least possible delay.
Owners of land included in the pro-
posed park area cannot. of course, be
expected to abstain indefinitely from
building operations. but their activities
in this respect should not govern. As
matter of economy the projected park
area might be successfully reduced
from time to time during the waiting
period until only minimum remains
with as much reason and propriety as in
the present case.
To amend the original project because
of single building enterprise is vir-
tually to invite the owners of the land
contemplated for acquisition to go ahead
whenever they like to develop their
properties pending action by Congress
in making the necessary provision for
the final condemnation. The ultimate
success of the park development should
not be made thus to depend upon the
enterprise of individual owners and the
degree of promptness with which Con-
gress acts for the final acquisition.

The Evening Star Newspaper Company
Justice Hughes.

President Butler of Columbia Uni
versity on a recent journey west found
Justice Hughes in many calculations
about the presidency, but adds:
"Some important leaders of opinion
feel, however, that Justice Hughes own
instinct as to the Importance of his
work on the bench of the Supreme Court
and the imperative necessity of keeping
that court free from any suspicion of
political interest or expectation is
sound, and that it might be very en-
barrassins to Justice Hughes himself
and to the largest public interest to at
tempt to force the nomination upon INN
against his better Judgment and against
his wish.'
Justice Hughes has said nothing indl-
eating his judgment or wish respecting
the we'll known and growing feeling for
him as the best man for uniting the re-
publicans and the bull moosers for the
campaign against Mr.. Wilson. He has
simply, with frmness and all propriety,
forbidden the use of his name in prl-
maries where the issue is the designa-
ton of presidential candidate. He is
for the Chicago nomination.
As this feeling did not spring out OF
any known wish of Justice Hughes, and
has not been encouraged by him, his
Judgment about it is not so much to the
point-not so valuable, if one may say
so-as that of the men who entertain
it. He has been occupied with the duties
of his Office, which keep him out of
touch with everyday politics. He does
not know what is going on in political
circles, or what the different influences
operating there are producing in the
way Of opinion. That is wholly outside
Of his line of inquiry or observation.
But the men who have picked, and are
urging others to pick. Justice Hughes
for the republican leadership this year
are not only in touch with everyday
politics, but are trained appraisers of
political tendencies, situations and
emergencies. 1t is their business to
know what is going on, and to shape
public opinion as much as possible.
As for Justice Hughes wish, what
ever it may be, he could not If he
would oppose that to the wish of his
party in a supreme moment. If the re-
publican convention, after a canvass of
all the party's candidates for the nomi-
nation. decides with practical unanimity
and a display of enthusiasm that he is
the man to carry the banner he must
carry it. The call will be as imperative
ON him as a judge as it would be if he
were the Governor of New York, or a
member of the bar in private practice

execution to the controversy over the
site and the delays incidental to the
final decision to put the memorial in

mined upon by the Senate park commits

a half in which this question was in de-
bate in 1908, there stand the nearly
eight years of successive time extern

this work was definitely authorized.
When it is completed there should be a
special celebration to commemorate the

Unidentified Wreck Victims.

The Amherst, Ohio, wreck has its usual
list of unidentified dead and injured in
the early stages. In every major rail
road accident where people are killed
and badly hurt this difficulty in identi-
flying the victims occurs. 1t is re-
suit OF the lack of any form of regis
tration of passengers. 1t has been sug-
gested heretofore that in the case of ex-
press and through trains some record
should be kept by the conductor or train
auditor of the names of passengers so
that in the event of disaster it will be
possible quickly to determine the losses.
In the case of passenger ship this 10
ALWAYS DONE The number of persons
on the vessel is positively known and
the identity of each is established at
the beginning of the voyage. This list
is always kept at the port of departure.
In the case of train there may be some
difficulty in maintaining such lists owing
to the numerous stops and points OF en-
trance and exit It has frequently hap
pened that in large wrecks nobody has
known how many passengers were on
the trains involved. And so not even
by elimination can it be determined just
how many lost their lives. The rail-
road companies have stake IN this
matter, inasmuch as the establishment
of identity of survivors is often an i'm
portant factor in the matter Of damage
cases.

The Gary Dinner.

Results of the famous Gary dinner are
beginning to appear, and many of the
republican managers are making notes.
The Gary dinner, it will be remem-
beced, was attended by republicans,
democrats and bull moosers. The host
was a republican, the guest Of honor a
bull mooser. Mr.. Roosevelt, glancing
around the table, saw some men who
had never supported him; saw others
who had supported him until 1912; saw
still others who had supported him as a
bolter from the republican party.
1t was company of very rich men,
all. in one way or another, captains of
industry All had had experience in
politics. All were then very much in
terested in politics. All were on terms
of personal cordiality with Mr.. Roose-
welt.
Such function, necessarily, caused a
great deal of gossip; and the more
gossip because the news was not
heralded, but leaked out. A boom for
the guest of honor? So nearly every
body agreed Big business was thought
to have picked Mr.. Roosevelt as the man
who should lead against Mr.. Wilson.
1t was sensation for few days,
but gave place in this time of sensa-
tions to other things. But now that Mr..
Inc ha
Indies, and convention time draws
near. the famous dinner becomes famous
again.
One hears the matter stated in the
slang of the street. The dinner is
working" Big business is for Roose-
welt, first against the republican field
for the nomination, and then against
Mr.. Wilson for election. Its influences
are being cxerted for him wherever
there is an opening.
Take this feature of the ease in con-
nection with other features, and then
consider what Mr. Roosevelt's chances of
election would be as a candidate for
President He disclaims being republi-
can, and can only be nominated by the
republican convention by agencies rep
resenting hallabaloo as against ref1ec-
ton. He is pledged against third term
in the White House, and here he would
be seeking it, Wall street rallied to Judge
Parker in 1904. and proved milestone
around his neck. Is it in any better
favor with the country todayi Would
not its support tell against Mr.. Roose-
welt as it did against Judge Parker!
Big business is convert to the Roose-
welt cause. Just why, is question. At
one time, and for years, it regarded him
not only with disfavor, but aversion
Now it prefers him to everybody else
It seems to have contracted the just
now eminent habit Of changing its
mind.
