The Grant Memorial.

Nearly seventeen years ago Congress
authorized a memorial to Gen. Grant.
After long consideration an inappro-
pirate site was chosen, at the extreme
eastern end of the series of parks known
as the Mall on the edge of the Eetanic
Garden reservation. Protest was made
against this emplacement, but was over
ruled, and more than ten years ago work
was actually started on the preparation
of the site. For the greater part of
that time the pedestal of the memorial
has been standing, awaiting the signifi-
cant sculptures. The pedestal is now
weather stained and an object of curl
osity and puzzlement to the thousands
who notice it behind the tall fence sur
rounding the garden. From time to time
the sculptor has been granted extern
sions. The public has practically lost
hope of completion of this memorial
to the great civil war leader and twice
President OF the United States. Now
it is announced that off nothing hap
pens to prevent" the memorial will be
finished this year. The citizens, how
ever, will not at present make any def
mite arrangements for an unwilling cere-
mony. Not until the memorial is ac-
tually complete, in physical evidence,
will there be confidence that this tribute
by the nation to one of its most emf
nent men has been accomplished. The
present hope is that when the sculpture
that definitely expresses the memorial
to Grant is in place it will not contrast
too shockingly in its newness with the
time-worn base ON which it rests.

the country unprecedented his chill
dren to have better opportunities than
he had spjoyed. He dealt somewhat in
gensralities, but Joined an organization
which he thsaght would. If invested with
power, bring abeat the conditions he de-
sired.
This gives much interest to some re-
cent expressions of Mr.. Perkins about
present conditions in the country. and
for that matter in the world at large,
and which embody some suggestions
about what shnnld be done to meet them.
In an interview he says:
"In my judgment, the period that is
upon us offers large opportunities for
individual thought, initiative and ae-
ton. 1t calls for original thinking, for
constructive work, for constructive
craftsmanship. Men of sober minds,
clean. healthy bodies and staneh cour-
age will find myriad Of opportunities
to make distinctive places for them
selves in the great new period upon
which We are just entering and which
carries SO much promise for humanity.
The political party that fails to reeog-
nize all this will fail at the polls. 1t is
not enough in these days to appeal to
the people on the principles on which a
party WAS established half century
ago, or on what it accomplished for the
country twenty-five years ago. The peo-
pie arc ne longer interested in what
happened yesterday. Their whole inter
est is conferred on what is going to hap
pen tomorrow. A reconstruction period
is at hand. 1t is not simply local, nor
is 1t merely national; it is international.
worldwide. The mighty changes that
are taking place in Europe tell us this
with uEmistakable voices. The man of
the future must realize all this He
must be ready to adjust himself to the
new conditions that are crowding upon
u.s."
There are gencralities here; but one
can make out that in case the republican
party returns to power Mr.. Perkins will
expect a very progressive program at its
hands. And it is not likely that he will
be disappointed. So many old things
have passed, or are passing, away, and
so many new things are on the thresh-
old, that no matter which party wins
in 1920 progressive policies, or at least
policies designed for progress, will be
imperative.
But maybe Mr.. Perkins errs in his be-
lief that the past viii not be invoked in
that campaign. On the contrary, it will
be called as character witness by both
parties. As an earnest of what it
pledges itself to do with new conditions
the republican party will point to what
it did with old conditions, going as far
back as Lincoln; while the democratic
party will quote its achievements since
1913 in its appeals for continuation of
authority. The record is always in Or
der. When good, it is valuable asset !;
when bad, it is an inescapable liability.

School Children and Gardens.

this season they Will richly add to the
setty's vegetable supply. This is mat
lar that should appeal TO every adult,
and the movement now started for prae-
teal school gardening should have the
support Of all parents. There is no fund
1ew available for garden work ut the
schools, but the children can derive even
greater benefit from gardening at
hsms and on vacant lots If their efforts
ars directed. An organization is being
effected of all tbs forces contributing

With the cooperation Of teachers and
parents Washington will have an army

only viii the material results be valna-

serious losses in the home gardens las,

The Railroad Question in Conference

The railroad question now goes to con
ference. where two bills Will be consid
cred. The bill passed by the Senate pro
vides that government control and op
Grafton of railroads shall terminate in
eighteen months after the close of the
war, and that while the control con
tinues the rate-fxing power shall rest
in the Interstate Commerce Commission
The House bill fixes post war govern.
ment control at two years, and empowers
the President to fix rates.
A good deal, it was thought, was EN-
bodied in the proposition to limit the
period of government control. Both the
President and Secretary McAdoo OPP
posed q limit. But the attitude OF
neither was construed as an indorse'
ment of government ownership and op
Grafton. Secretary McAdoo expressly
disclaimed favoring such a policy.
But as government control for wal
purposes was being used by the propa
gandists of government ownership for
forwarding. their ends, those in oppo-
sition as well as those still undecided as
to the proposition of ownership united
and, as it were, left the matter to the
eountry for final decision.
The appeal to the country will be
prompt. In a measure, it will be made
in this years campaign for control of
the next Congress. And it is certain
to be made in full measure two year.
hence, when both Congress and the
presidency will he in contest.
The policy is of such great import.
the voters should declare about it spe-
eiGcally. The war justifes temporary
control and operation; but ownership
and operation is something very differ
ent. That, as many believe, would he q
'long step toward definite state socialism
and necessitate the taking Of other steps
in the same direction, until at no dis.
liant day we should reach that goal.
Il is for the people to say. They are
still the masters. That the var 10 fore.
ing some important changes in public
sAairs and viii force others cannot b.
depied. But how many Of these chsngei
shall be permanent is for frank discus
sisn.
As between postwar control Of eigA
teen months and two years is small
choice. The point at stake is fixing 8
limit to control As both House and
Senate are in agreement a. to that, ani
b. very emphatic expressions, it il tt
b assumed that the conference commit
tee whose report Is awaited with in
te1est, will retain the p-incip1e enun
eiated by both chambers.

The Stub-Terminal Problem.

In order to relieve congestion at. the
stub-end terminal OF the Washington
Railway and Electric line at 18th street
and New York avenue it is proposed to
construct . loop around the triangular
block between 18th and 18th and H
streets and New York avenue. This
would permit the handling Of the Bal
timore cars, which require q longer lay
over at the terminal than the city ears,
without interfering with the local traf-
fic. This would appear to be an excel
lent plan, affording mid-city terminal
and facilitating the ordinary service.
The stopping Of the Baltimore ears at
18th street would not to any appreciable
extent be discommoding to the public
using them. The present arrangement is
undeniaely awkward, slowing the city
service on the New York avenue line.
A stub-end terminal is unsuited to heavy
traffic conditions. Yet there are now
two such terminals in the most crowded
4bAftcIy tuAe al 1OtA StEcct anu view
York avenue and that at 18th and &
streets. The latter of these is one of
tbs busiest Of the local traction points,
and much delay results from the shift
ing of cars for reversal Of direction. If
. cure could DO found for this con-
dition the movement Of the cars on
the lines terminating at that place would
be facilitated. It is not, however, easy
to arrange a loop there owing to the
presence Of crowded trunk line and
three-way switch Immediately west and
/. north and south line to the east. Wash
ington is now suffering from the lack
Of foresight in original car-track en,-
placement. When the present routes
we're established the city was compare,
lively small Now it is imperative that
soma solution be found of these prob.
LENS. The 18th street loop may possibly
afford opportunity for further diver.
sions of cars from the congested sub.
terminals than merely those of the Bal
timpre line.

FARMERS ASKED TO sAvK AS
MUCH AS CITY FOLKS ARE
COMPELLED TO CON-
SERVE.

1.-THE scarcest food article in the
world today is butter.
Five dollars will not buy an extra
piece Of butter in Denver restaurants.
The half-ounce per person per Mea
serving of butter permitted in the res
taurants and hotels of Colorado is the
absolute limit That limit is set by
necessity. 1t may be further reduced.
In the homes. II greater butter and
other fat saving is not effected, there
will be nothing left for the Food Ad-
ministration to do but to introduce
some restricted rationing system.
Mr. Hoover's pledge of 10000
tons of meats and fats for Europe
must be met"
This is the concise statement of the
butter situation in Colorado issued by
Robert j. Grant, executive manager
of the state food administration.
That the food administration Is
strictly enforcing the existing regula-
tions on butter and cheese. is shown
by the records OF informal hearings
given Denver restaurant men last
week who violated these rulings.
Even II consumers butter cards
should be issued to curtail the state 8
consumption of butter. these cards
would not effect the use Of butter by
farmers who produce their own cream
cry products. The Food Administra-
tion therefore will make special ap-
peal to farmers to save voluntarily on
their own abundant tables, just as city
people are arbitrarily restricted In the
use Of butter and cheese.

HENS AND FARMERS TO
COLLABORATE ON
MIRACLE.
Can You make two eggs grow

Can you make two eggs grow
where only one grew before?
The u S. Food Administration
says the patriotic poultryman
will have to accomplish this
miracle and the food board isn't
nature faker either!
According to the Food Admin
istration the storage stocks Of
eggs are 81 per cent less than
year ago and are rapidly be-
ing consumed.
Bakers used to depend on
Chinese dried eggs for a large
proportion of their baking eggs.
The importation of this commod.
ity stopped last February and
evr since the bakers have had
to be supplied out of our ma
tional stock Of storage eggs.
Farmers are urged to meet the
egg shortage by an Increased
output of fresh eggs during the
winter months. Tho food board
suggests they consult with the
county agent state agricultural
college at Fort Collins, or the
u. 8. Department of Agriculture
for tips on how to increase egg
output
