Rock Creek Park Roads.

Plans for rendering Rock Creek Park
more accessible to the public and for
permitting traffic across it by the short
est line, compatible with the preserva-
ton of its natural beauties, are, it is
announced, to be pressed for early ac-
ton. This is most desirable, as, in con-
sequence of the rapid development of
the suburban District, the park, especial
ly in the upper portion, presents seri-
Gus obstacle to communication. There
are wide stretches of the park that are
virtually inaccessible, some Of them to
be reached only by north and south
lines. It is important to throw the park
open to the fullest public use, SO long
as the landscape features are not marred.
Yet the park roads should not become
mere highways of through travel, and
this consideration is to be continually
borne in mind in the opening of new
roads. Furthermore, steps should be
taken as soon as practicable to bring
the park into closer touch with the peo-
pie by an extension Of street car lines
to its boundaries at various points.

race for mayor makes persuasive the
suggestion that he might repeat the show
Of strength in larger field. he, how
ever, discourages the talk. Asked about
the report that he would resign the
mayoralty and run for governor he re-
piled:
positively not. I intend to devote
all my time and energy to the duties
of mayor for the next four years. A
man holding such an Office who tries to
use it as a stepping-stone to reach
higher one is not going to make much
of a success of the one he Is holding.
Ny one purpose is to serve the people
and perform to the best of my ability
the duties imposed upon me by the
people at the last election"
Doubtless this is sincere, and the an
nouncement leaves its author in a good
position. But, if drafted by his party
to make the race, he could not refuse.
He will soon qualify as mayor, and
much depends on the developments OF
the next six or eight months He must
first satisfy Tammany in the coming
distribution of mayoralty patronage be-
fore Tamntany will "book" him for any
thing 'higher up"
4 Hearst boom has appeared, but
whether with the boomee's consent Is
not stated. Mr. Hearst supported Judge
HyIan for mayor, and is now on friend
ly terms with Tammany. He has not
offered for Office since 1906, when he
was defeated for governor by Charles
E. Hughes by small majority, his asso-
ciates on the ticket being elected. Mr..
Roosevelt was then President and Elihu
Root Secretary of State, and both threw
their influence into the scale against
Mr.. Hearst.

Distributing the Traffic.

The Star, the other day, noted the
fact that the congestion on the street
railway lines of Washington, due to In
adequacy of service in the rush hour
of the morning, is injurious to the in
terests of the government in causing
hardness among department workers.
This point has now been taken into
consideration by the railway war board
and by the Council of National Defense,
and plans are under consideration for a
shifting of the department hours In
such a way as to spread the movements
of the traffic over the longer period IN
the morning and evening.
This is not new suggestion. 1t was
urged some yeas ago as a means OF
curing the then bad conditions, which
are now rendered much worse by the
great increase in the local population.
In July, 1915, The Star proposed this
plan, which was widely discussed among
department chiefs and municipal and
traction officials. but the conclusion was
reached that its adoption was impracti-
cable.
The exigeney of war has made many
things possible that were before con-
sidered out of question. For the relief
of the traffic congestion there are only
two practicable measures, material in
crease in the car service or wider dis
tribution of the demand upon it. The
railroad corporations say they are now
virtually at the limit of their traekage
within the business section. The con-
straction of more tracks cannot be IN
dertaken without act of Congress. The
city cannot wait for legislation and con-
struetion for the relief that is impera-
lively required. The case then comes
squarely to the point of a distribution
of the load and what was deemed i'm
practicable two years and half ago
has become virtually a necessity.
1t is certainly feasible to start work
in certain of the departments at 8
o'clock, closing at $50, while others be-
gin at $3.50 and close at 4 and the re-
mainder retain the present hours. This
would add one hour to the hauling time
and with a judicious division of the
departments into groups would virtually
add 100 per cent to the capacity of the
traction lines. The matter IS wholly
within the province of the executive
chiefs. The plan might work some hard
ships. Some Of the clerks, perhaps liv-
ing in the distant suburbs, would be
seriously disconnected, but this is war
time and domestic Inconvenience is not
to be weighed against the public necessi-
ties

Times and the Man.

If Senator Borah, who announced
other plans some months ago, decides
to stand for another term and is elected,
his state, his party and the country
will profit. He has taken high rank,
and proved useful man, in Office.
There is probably not a better speaker
in the Senate, nor an ADLER lawyer. He
is in his physical prime Another term
would be his third. Starting thus with
an experience of twelve years as a ma
tional legislator, and with the prestige
his activities have brought him, he
would be assured of continued success
in field for which he has shown him
self excellently fitted.
We speak of born soldiers, born sail
ors, born lawyers, born fnanciers, born
orators, born poets. There are as we'll
born legislators-men who show stsong

native gifts for ppblic affairs, ard com
missioned in that line Of work distin-
guish themselves ut once. Mr.. Borah
is one Of these. His record in the Sen
ate proves him to be exceptionally quad
lied for that forum.
This il time Of times for assign
ing men according to their best gifts.
Every man should be placed where he
can do the most good. Blacksmiths
should not be set to tinkering watches,
nor watchmakers to forging horseshoes.
Hence the place for Mr.. Borah Is the
Senate, where he has shown himself
equal to all demands.
The next Congress should contain the
pick of the country for legislative sery-r
ices. If when it meets the war is still
in progress, world conditions will be
such that only men Of large ability and
long experience can meet the legisla-
tive requirements of the time. For the
longer the war lasts, the larger and more
prominent will be Americas part in it;
and Congress must provide for carrying
on that part
But even if the war by that time shall
have ended, the task for that Congress
will be of great size and difficulty. We
shall find ourselves on new course as
to many things. The old order will not
be restored. The new order forced by
the war will have to be developed on
the lines of its being, and only men of
large ability and long experience will be
competent for that.
The prospect is inviting, and especial
~ for men in their prime. There may
be larger money rewards and more per
sonal comfort in private life, but for
men who care for and are competent
for high legislative or executive life,
the immediate future beckons with
lure far out of the ordinary.

Our Thanksgiving.

nation paused for Thanksgiving in the
midst Of war. Not for more than a
century has it observed this ceremony
Of publicly expressing gratitude for the
blessings Of Providence while facing a
foreign foe. Thus the conditions are
altogether novel for the greater part
Of the American people. Yet there is
no diminution in the spirit of thankful
ness which pervades the national heart
today. We are thankful for our bless
ings, while deploring the circumstances
which have sent US into the most wicked
war in history, wicked because of the
purposes and performances of the enc
my, but imposing upon our people an
exalted duty and calling for the mani
festation of the highest devotion to the
noblest ideals of humanity.
We may be thankful today for our
opportunity to render service to man
kind while we are defending our lib
critics and our rights. We may be
thankful for the virtually unanimous
sentiment among our people that sends
US trebly armed into the conflict that
will cost US dearly in lives and treas
ure. We may be thankful for the fact
that despite our unreadiness for this re-
sponsibiity and service we have dis
played our ability to make ready, by,
swiftly moving with the writing of the
new laws, strange to the precedents of
American legislation, to the end of ere
ating an immense citizen Army. We
may be thankful that our men of mo-
ment in the world of affairs have has
tened to the aid of the government and
are rendering invaluable services for
the winning Of the war. We may be
thankful for the repeated responses of
the people to the call for help, financial
and material.
Problems beset us as people, food
problems, fuel problems, acute and dis
tressing for the present, but in the way
Of solution. There are questions of 10y
atty here and there, respecting small
percentage of our people, questions of
thoronghness and sincerity of patriotic
6eyotion to the American ideal of gov
ernment and humanity. But these are
manifestations of individual rather than
Saas detection. They are of moment
only for the passing hour and do not
z actually weaken the American purpose
Or lessen the strength of the nation or
affect the certainty of victory.
We may be thankful, too, for the fart
that thus far this great war, into which
Ne have been drawn by an irresistible
force, is being fought upon foreign soil
We have been spared the horrors of the
Devastation, the denominations of the
atrocities of the foe, who knows no
bounds of deeeney or responsibility
Yet this is but the least of our causes
Of gratitude on this day. Our thanks
are given chiefly for the fact that we
are privileged to participate in con-
Aict for the highest principles of hui
manity, that we are destined to be the
deciding factor in a struggle against
ruthless despotism that seeks world do
lninien. Our prayers for victory rise
.teaaY with confidence that it will come
to rs, because our motive in this great
adventure is pure.
