A Tactless Partisan.

The zeal of the friends of Justice
Brandeis to correct an impression which
may or may not have been caused by
his entirely proper and strictly cour-
teous call upon Justice Hughes the day
on which the latter was nominated for
the presidency is hardly to be com
mended, whatever the motive of the
statement just issued by Mr.. Norman
Hapgood. For in declaring that the
new jurist's call was simply perfume
tory and only by a coincidence chanced
to occur on the day of the nomination
Mr.. Hapgood goes to the point of vir-
tually quoting Justice Brandeis' opinions
on the merits of the two candidates
greatly, of course, to President Will
sons advantage. As a campaign docu-
mcnt this is but a sorry performance,
and has doubtless caused the justice and
the President serious distress of mind
The so-called Supreme Court issue was
promptly side-tracked by Mr.. Wilson,
ana most properly ana wlseiy. 10
have it thrust into the campaign by an
ill-advised partisan publicity promoter
in the form of virtual interview with
justice of the court, is not calculated
to cause the President to look with
favor upon volunteer assistants in the
promotion of his political fortunes. Only
embarrassment to Justice Brandeis and
annoyance to the President can possibly
come from this publication. The new
democratic chairman evidently has a
heavier job on his hands than was at
first indicated, for apparently one of
his tasks wi be to suppress Mr.. Nor
man Hapgood.

trict line. Most of the park traffic flows
northward along the Beech drive and
Kalmia road and returns by Georgia
avenue to Brightwood avenue, passing
back into the city by the Military road
or Colorado avenue. The Military road
however, does not reach the improved
portion of 18th street. If the stretch
provided for by the Martin amendment
is improved it will be possible to make
this return from the junction of the
Kalmia road and Georgia avenue by way
of Alaska avenue, which at present is q
nothoroughfare leading southwestward-
ly through improved andsrapidly devel-
oping territory. AS a matter of justice
to the property owners in that section
10th street should be carried through
to the District line. The cost of the
improvement would be more than met
by increased property valuations in that
section in two or three years. Mean
while the public will be very greatly ac-
commodated by increased means of ac-
cess to the northern portion of Rock
Creek Park and by the relief of upper
Georgia avenue from congestion
which is now dangerous. The adoption
of this amendment by the Senate and its
retention in the appropriation act will
be justified by every consideration of
public welfare

A Needed Street Extension

An amendment to the District bill Is
pending in the Senate which illustrates
in a peculiar way the somewhat hap
hazard manner in which local suburban
street extensions have been carried on
in the past. This amendment proposes
to grade and improve 18th street north.
west from Montague street to Alaska
avenue. For this work. including a via
duet over the Military road, $4,000 is
to be appropriated. This is not an Or
dinary street extension and does not
merely carry bit farther the great
highway that runs north from the
White House and eventually will reach
the District line. 1t is in a peculiar
way connecting link, and the neces-
sity for its provision arises from a sin.
gular lack of system in the matter of
suburban street and road improvements.
From the present terminal at 18th street
to the District line the necessary, lands
have been designated. The owners of
these lands have been waiting for long
time, upward of fifteen or eighteen
years, while the work of improvement
has progressed somewhat slowly from
the city end northward. If this com.
paratively short stretch of improve
ment proposed in Senator Martins
amendment is provided for, about q
mile in extent, it will be possible to re-
lieve greatly the traffic now centering
upon Georgia avenue between Bright
| wood and the. District line. The Beech
drive, folloying the windinss of Rock
creek to Ne northern boundary Of the
park. runs eastward TO Kalmia road,

Automobile touring covering every sec
ton of the country this year win show
an increase at least double that of last
year, which was record-breaker. Many
conditions contribute TO this situation
such as the large increase In ownership
and the impossibility of foreign touring,
although the fundamental factor lies In
the enormous increase Of road construc-
ton that is taking place in SO many
States that have heretofore neglected
their highways.
Up 70 last year tourfHS WAS tdESeiy
done by those who lived where finished
road areas were well defined and under
stood, but the longtime and excellent
work carried ON by the national touring
bureaus Of the American Automobile AS
sociation, both at Its Washington. and
at its New York City headquarters, came
to be fully appreciated as clearing houses
of touring data and knowledge. Auto
mobile owners in every section OF the
United States took advantage of this
condition and applied for information
that covered nearly every possible route
combination that could be imagined.
In these groups were many who made
their inquiry with curiosity as their in
centive, and when they found that route
combinations could be linked together
they turned from passive inauirers to
active tourists. In many instances their
experiences were 60 superior to anything
they had hoped for. and. In all instances
finding that automobile touring Is the
only way to both see and know their
country. they became fixed converts to
long-distance touring and spread the
propaganda.
While the touring bureaus Of the A. A.
A have long record of requests for
touring information. never In their years
of work has the volume reached any
thing like the proportions received this
spring One of the results of this entire
situation is that the A. A. A. is reissuine
all its road maps. bringing them up to
date for the touring season of 1916.

Galsworthy's Justice" is now revealed
to the New York stage by the accom-
plished successor to the estate theatric
Of the late Charles Frohman, John d.
Williams. In making the production.
Williams has stated. through the col
urnns Of the daily gaxettes. that he ap-
preciates his financial rewards Will be
microscopic-if indeed that; and that he
has been motivated by but one impulse.
the impulse, to wit. to provide himself
with a bit of personal qualification by
producing at least one respectable piece
OF dramatic writing amid the current
Broadway dosage Of rumble-bumble.
Says Williams. In part: Justice is
not play which can be counted upon to
Yield handsome returns to the box office.
II is downright earnest drama, so true
to the hard realities OF life that 1t forces
people to think of the difference between
law and Justice. Unless It were put
upon the stage by somebody who believes
in 1t for Its own sake as the kind of
play that gives the theater q more Inn
house Of mirth.' or unless 1t were done
as an opportunity for the display and
development of fine acting. Justice
would never get upon the American
stage. The three definite reasons that
have brought about the present produc-
tion of the play are: Justice is mod
ernized tragedy of extraordinary power,
composed with that impartiality of ex-
position and simplicity of style which
are among the. attributes of greatness.
Second, Justice provides series of
mastery dramatic mpersonations-the
confidential clerk, the pathetic victim, the
lawyer for the defense, the attorney for
the prosecution, the Judge who Is only
an instrument of remorseIess system
and the pathetically human woman
Third, Justice is a thoroughly human
work. written with sincerity and. re-
stralnt. and is the kind of play that is
good for the theater to do now and then,
since only In this way can the theater
ever induce the world 10 consider what
aiis it,
No Posturins.
There is no posturing In the pronuncia-
mento. The fellow Is perfectly sincere. A

ent season. he confesses that he has been
spectator at SO unremittlng a panorama
of theatrical trash that. for elf-preserva-
lion. IL nothing else. he has been forced
to put on a play himself that ,he might
be able to sit through with a measure
of comfortable satisfaction. But, being
from birth an honest fellow, Williams
has not sought arbitrarily to impose his
own standard of taste upon the Broad
way yokeiry And TO that end, he has so
warned away from the Gambler Theater.
