A Chance That Should Be Taken.

The Commissioners have urgently rec
commended and the House District COM
mittee is now considering an enactment
which will add to the city's parking sys-
TEN a tract of land that has for years
appealed to the public taste and desire
as an ideal reservation. This is the So
called Dean tract, at the corner OF Con-
necticut and Florida avenues. Its po-
sition on the southern slope of the ridge
that runs generally east and west across
the city just north of the old boundary,
coupled with the presence of noble
growth of trees, gives it peculiar value
for park purposes. The owners have of
fered it for this use at a price that
makes it one of the most attractive bar
gains city ever found in the way of
real estate. On the private market this
land, long held by the owning family
against urgent opportunities to sell for
building use, would bring much more
than the sum at which it is rendered to
the District. There can be no question
as to the public spirit of the offer, and
there should be no hesitation about ac-
cepting it for the preservation of
grove that cannot be matched in this
region and the addition to the city's
park spaces of an area that would be a
source of the greatest public enjoyment.
A few years ago a similar opportunity
was at hand when the Barber estate, at
the corner of 14th street and Florida
avenue, became available for direct pur-
chase for park purposes. In the alb
sence of official initiative the citizens
took up the matter and pressed it for
action, even going so far as to endeavor
to raise a fund by subscription to buy
the land and hold it for eventual pur-
chase at cost for this use. But the eff
fort failed, and now this attractive area,
with a remarkable grove of trees, has
passed into the realm of building lots,
and is lost forever as a possible park.
The Dean tract should not be per-
mitted thus to slip out of reach. Fail
ure to acquire the land now, in the ex-
ceptionally favorable circumstances,
would perhaps result in the early dis
posal of the area for improvement, es-
pecially as in the private market it will
bring much larger sum than that for
which it is offered. The city's park de-
velopment is far from complete with the
acquisition of the large areas Of Po-
tomac and Rock Creek parks. There
should be a series of small reservations,
chosen for their natural beauty and
their accessibility. Such a program
cannot wait indefinitely for adoption,
in whole or in detail. As the oppor-
tunity comes, as it is now at hand in
the case of the Dean tract, it should be
seized, to put into permanent use for
the people spaces that otherwise will
become soon incumbered with bricks
and stone.

Coddling Two Bosses.

Report has it that the democrats at
Syracuse decided, upon reflection, to be
tender toward Mr.. Roosevelt. His name
was stricken from the platform refer
ence to the panic of 1907. 1t was
thought best not to make any direct
issue with him at this time.
The argument employed was that as
Mr.. Roosevelt might again become a
democratic asset he should be treated
with that fact kept in view. As he had
elected Mr.. Wilson in 1912 he might de
eide to repeat the performance this
year The favor received and the favor
hoped for counseled prudence. Why
irritate a sensitive man unnecessarily?
Tammany was persuaded. Leader Muir
ply saw the point.
Mr.. Murphy probably saw the point
all the more readily because of some
treatment he himself is now booked for.
Tammany is no longer taboo in presi-
Dental circles. "Charley' will disap
pear from the printed page and Mis-
ter" Murphy take his place in all pub
locations friendly to the administration.
As he was of great service in 1912. even
greater service is expected of him this
year. He must hump himself in his
party's behalf.
An all-around remarkable situation
presents no more remarkable feature
than this. Mr.. Wilson's reelection de-
ponds in the largest measure upon these
two men. Mr.. Roosevelt and Mr.. Muir
ply hold the Presidents fortunes in
the hollow of their hands If the for
mer heads another Independent ticket
this year he will be of help to the St.
Louis ticket, even if he polls only a
fraction of the large vote he polled in
1912. If the latter works as hard this
year as four years ago he will do the
utmost that can be done for the ticket
In New York, a pivotal state.
On the other hand, if Mr.. Roosevelt,
leading the remnant of the bull moose
herd, returns to the republican party
and supports the party's ticket, he will
deal the President a severe blow. And
if Mr.. Murphy, for any reason, is luke
warm after his return from St. Louis,
the democratic managers, alarmed for
New York, will experience many I'M
happy moments.
In this connection it may be well to
note that the New York post office is
still in the scale. Two months ago a
change was expected, and seemed i'm
minent. Tammany was not asking the
plum for any of its leaders, but was
asking that the new man be not inim-
zeal to the organization. The Presi-
dent was reported to have conceded the
point and fixed upon an appointment
that Tammany would indorse. But
something happened, and the appoint
ment was not made. VIII Tammany's
handsome course at Syracuse shake the
tree, and bring the plum down safely
into Tammany's lap? Some folks are ex-
pecting such result, and maybe Tam
many is also.
