in the United States.
Meanwhile it is, Of course, an obvious
error to ignore entirely the two already
existing large parks which this link will
connect, and which make Warrington
distinctly q city in class by itself as
regards public recreation spaces. But
these two parks which the Baltimore
Sun inadvertently omitted to mention
in its reply. to its correspondent, with
their total area of 2,S01 acres, are not
all that Washington has Of public reser-
vations. Soldiers Homo Park comprises
about 600 acres and is in some respects
the most attractive Of all the preserved
spaces because of the great trees stand
ing within it. Then there are several
hundred of the small parks, squares, cir
cles and triangles, which add hundreds
of acres to the total of reserved land

A Public Art Judgment.

The plan to take a popular vote on
the paintings shown at the biennial ex-
hibition at the Corcoran Gallery of Art
is an admirable one, especially in view
of the fact that there has been much
public dissent from the prize awards
this year. 1t is unfortunate, however,
that this referendum should not have
been held from the first day of the pub
lie view, before there had been any chal-
lenging of the awards or discussion of
the schools of painting. In other words
the public should have had an oppor
tunity to express its opinion almost
simultaneously with the jury of award.
If the people are to be consulted in art
natters-and perhaps they should he to
n larger extent than they are at pres
cnt-the ideal way of securing the iudg-
ment would be to open the exhibit to
,ferendum vote before the announce
ment of the awards by the official jury.
There would then be no guiding of the
public mind toward certain pictures.
There are some who are prone to ep-
prove whatever has been pronounced
superior by an established jury. And
again there are some who ar" inclined
inStinctively to challenge jury's award.
But the majori of the people may be
trusted to express an Independent judg
ment regardless of awards or announce
ments or regulations of artists.
In the exhibit now on view there are
many paintings of the ultra modern
school of drawing and coloring which
have evoked the amusement of some be
holders and the amazement of others
That the awards should have included
some of these unusual paintings has
elected expressions of surprise. But
during all time human judgment in mat
ters of art has varied widely. A GER
tain school has come into being of late
including surprisingly many capable
painters who have avowedly and delib-
erately turned their backs on the 'hither-
to accepted rules of perspective and
color and produced results that in the
days of the masters would have started
riots. This is perhaps a reaction from
the realism that was a marked art mani
festation of many decades. But what
ever it is. evidently Judging from ex-
pressions to be heard at the Corcoran
gallery the average person of today, not
skilled in art or especially versed in
its history or its technique, refuses TO
accept these departures from the nor
NAL as worthy representations of mod
ern art and appeals from the decisions
which place the tokens of distinction
upon their frames.

An Irresistible Temptation.

A man there was who paused to groan
and make his family sad.
Much sympathy he'd often claim be-
cause his health was bad.
And everybody jumped around and tried
to hold his head,
And said, Don't go to work today, but
take rest instead"
He murmured, "Thanks," and seemed, in
spite of suffering more or less
To feel an unaccustomed glow of in
ward happiness.
He sighed, Though health is precious
and must be recovered quick.
It's great to see the way the folks take
notice when Pm sicki"
They fed him soup and marmalade and
piled the pillows round,
As they asked about his comfort with
solicitude profound.
He grinned till physician came and
gave him quite shock
By saying, "Man! You aren't sick n
Said he, 81 know it, doc.
But now each word addressed to me is
thoughtful, kind and sweet.
Nobody says, You're late againi' OF
Did you wipe your feetP
I'm overdue at work, I know. I hate to
play this trick.

The Flaw in the Alibi.

A jury has just convicted of first degree
murder man in New Hampshire whose
crime was planned with exceptional cum
ming, but with fatal oversight which
led to detection. According to the tes-
timony which the jury accepted, Small
killed his wife for the sake of insur-
ance, strangling and shooting her and
then binding her in a chair as though
setting fire train in the house and
leaving for Boston in a motor car. When
the fire developed and the cottage burn
ed, and the neighbors came and after
some difficulty put out the flames, Small
was in Boston. He had apparently
perfect alibi, especially as he had taken
the precaution to address his wife
through the front door as he was clos
ing If in affectionate terms of farewell.
But Small did not know, or forgot, that
there was water in the cellar, due to
seepage from the nearby lake. and that
this flood was increasing, so that when
the floor burned through and the par
tally consumed body went through into
the cellar, it and its bonds and wounds
were preserved and evidences of crime
were made plain. Had it not been for
the water in the cellar the murder would
probably never have been fastened on
the husband-in fact, murder might
ne4or have been suspected One of the
most convincing alibis ever devised was
destroyed by that accidental leak.

ton.
Any angle of the controversy that has
resulted is embarrassing to Gov. John
son. As a candidate, in the field
throughout the campaign, he should have
known the situation as respected both
tickets, the state and the national. If
he did not know it; if so extraordinary
a thing as his own success and Mr..
Hughes defeat was impending. without
sign to him, he was the victim of very
strange circumstance. If he did know
it, and yet took no steps to bring MIR.
Hughes chances up level with his own,
he has a settlement to make, not only
with republicans, but with those bull
moosers elsewhere who, under the
leadership of Mr.. Roosevelt, Mr.. Perkins
and Mr. Beveridge, recorded themselves
for Hughes and Fairbanks.
But 1920 is far, far away. Much of
the maneuvering now in progress with
that time in view will be barren. Both

sio without hesitation, the nonsensicaI
suggestion now and then heard that Mr..
Roosevelt did not desire Mr.. Hughes

slider that in New York, Mr.. Roosevelt's
state, which he canvassed for the re-
publican candidate, that candidate won
overwhe elmingly. The bull moosers, at
their leaders urge, returned to their
former party allegiance and helped swell
the Hughes vote. The result. in meas.

Washington's Large Parks.

Misinformation about Washington is
not uncommon, but it is surprising to
find lack of accuracy respecting one
of the most conspicuous features of the
capital in so close quarter as Balti-
more. If there is one thing for which
Washington is distinguished it is its
large parks, and yet in recent issue
of the Baltimore Sun is printed, in reply
to an inquirer, this statement: at
Washington has a number of s-call
reservations, squares and circles, but no
large parks. There is a movement now
on foot to provide one" This refers to
the project for what is known as the
continuing parkway.
1t should be known that this connect
ing parkway project is for the purpose
of joining Rock Creek and Geological
parks, the former with an area Of 1,606
acres and the latter with 1855 acres, or a
total of 1.772 acres altogether, with Po-
tomac Park and the Mall, the former
with 723 acres and the latter with BOG
acres, or total of / 1,O29 acres. The con-
Meeting parkway will comprise about 1852
acres, so that when the work is com
pleted it will result in a continuous
reservation Of 1858 acres, extending
from the northern boundary Of the city
to the river, and thence along the river
to the extreme point Of the reclaimed

The President and Revenue.

In The Stars news from the White
House yesterday appeared this para
graph:
THE President does not expect to go
before Congress to make another ad-
dress before March 4. and he has de-
cided ia make no recommendations to
that body as to the raising of revenue
to meet the big deficit of the next fiscal
year. As to an issue of bonds in the
fiscal year 1918. he will likewise make
no recommendations. believing that Con
gress and the Treasury do not need sug-
gestions He was unable to decide now
whether the failure TO pass revenue
bill at this session would compel him
to call an extra session and is not con
sidering the possibility of an extra ses-
sion"
BY sticking to this the President will
restore things to normal. 1t is the bust
ness Of Congress, not his business, to
shape revenue measures. AS Congress
holds the purse, it should fill the purse !;
and the purse just now needs filling. A
good deal more money should be put
into II.
The President is probably aware that
suggestions from him would he very
welcome. He has become quite the
crutch of Congress. L, has leaned upon
him so often. it '-stinctively turns to
hir. at any time of difficulty and weak
hess; and until now he has supported it
whenever requested. But if he has de-
cided that it must walk alone in this
worth while
The revenue situation may r.. de-
scribed as almost chaotic We have a
tariff law prepared for times which have
passed away. 1t is hardly necessary to
say that the law now on the books
would never have been placed there if
the present times could have been fore
cast. But the upheaval of every kind,
then on the eva of taking place, was
foreseen by nobody.
We are charged with outlays then un-
authorized and only the subject of vague
speculation. y larger army and
larger navy were advocated, but the
pressing necessity had not been borne
in on MS. The war has "put us WISE
10 our deficiencies in those fields, and
public sentiment now justifes liberal
appropriations.
Here. then, is a problem which cannot
be evaded, nor yet solved satisfactorily
in any hurried, slipshod fashion. It
ought to be solved understandingly, ac-
count being taken in raising the money
of all interests involved
What time may be required for This
measure-frst. for its preparation, and
then for its debate and passage-de-
pends. of course, upon the way in which
the work is performed. While the re-
sponsibility is with the majority, the
minority cannot be expected to accept
without inquiry or discussion whatever
may be set before it. 1t should exercise
Us right of inquiry and discussion,
even at the risk of taking time from
other questions which Congress is ex-
pected to dispose of before adjourn
