Anti.Administration Elections.

| To the Editor Of The Star:
, I have been greatly amused since
the fall elections at the comments in
the press, ana by individuals, about
! the cause of the recent democratic
defeat in the House OF Representa-
tives. Many people do not know that
| it is the general rule for the party
! in power to lose the House in the mid
! die Of the presidential term. Many
| people would be surprised 10 know
/ that the republican party never car
| ried the House once when it was in
power. at the off year election. from
| 1872 to 1898.
| In 1872 L. S. Grant was reelected
President by an overwhelming vote,
/ but two years later the House of Rep
resentatves stood: Democrats. 1855: re.
i publicans, 107. In 1876 r. +. Hayes
| two years later the House stood:
! Democrats. 148: republicans, 129.
James 4. Garfield was elected in 1850.
! and two years later the House stood:
democratic majority Of "A. Grover
Cleveland was elected in 1854. and
two years afterward the democrats
carried the House by Is majority.
| In 1883 Benjamin Harrison was elect
ed President and in the election in
1890 there were 236 democrats and IS
republicans elected. or a democratic
majority of 14S. being the largest
ever known. Grover Cleveland was
elected the second time in 1892, and
| two years later the republicans car
! ried the House by n majority Of 81.
/ 1t will be seen that in these six Off
year elections the party in power was
sustained but once; that being in
the middle of the first term of Grover
Cleveland in 1886.
| 1t was only while the leadership Of
! W. j. Bryan divided the democratic
vote that the republicans carried the
off-year elections. They had a. ma
jority in 1898, 1902 and 1906. Bryan
was defeated for the third and last
, time in 1908 when William H. Taft
was elected, and two years later the
membership in the House stood:
Democratic. e2s; republican. 1852, be-
| isfrstior, of 66. The democrats also
carried the House in 1912, 1914 and
1916.
elected for the first time, the repub-
i lican vote was divided between Taft
and Roosevelt, so the democrats had
a majority of lat in the House. In
the middle Of Mr.. wilson's first term
| his party carried the House by 81,
against a united opposition. Many
republican papers pretended to be-
/ President, and discussed it from every
| angle to show that the adminfstra-
| ton had been defeated because its
majority had been reduced. while as a
matter of fact it was one Of the
| greatest victories ever won in an OF"
year election in all Of our history.

How the conversation Of the aver

ish ear is related in the following ar
ticle which appeared in the London
Daily Mail. 1t purports to he tho ex-

of his chivalrous attitude toward the

print columns about his alert. mill
tary bearing and the charm of his ma
tive slang This last Characteristic
draws forth the following letter on
''What Sammy Says" which is taken
from the London Daily Mail:

conversation. His experiences during
the war are. I suppose, much the same
as those of other men; his mode of re-

picturesque imagery with which he
adorns his speech may be an old story
in Gods country'-to me it IS thing
of wonder and a joy forever.

More Park Police Needed.

Col. Ridley, the engineer officer, in
charge of public buildings and
grounds, who prepared the estimates,
says that the increased use of the
parks due to war conditions requires
an increase in the park police force,
which is now inadequate for the
proper protection of these park areas.
The present rate OF pay, he says, is
too small to- secure the services OF
competent men, shown by the many
changes which have occurred in the
force during the past year.
Mount Vernon Park. in which the
Public Library is located, he says, has
now been brought to a high state OF

slant care and attention to. keep it SO.

buildings i'll West Seaton Park and
the use of East Seaton Park for the
storage of materials and the erection
of workshops, Col. Ridley says, have
ruined all the turf on these areas,
which are now covered with clay and
when dry the dust blows in the office
building. The park, he says. now
presents the appearance of an un-
slightly common, and to correct this
the bare area should be soiled and
seeded.
There is an enormous increase in
the number of people using the walk
around the Ellipse in going to and
from the new Office buildings west
of 18th street. That is making many
trespass lines. owing to the fact that
no suitable walks exist. These tres
passes give a very unsightly appear
ance to the park, Col. Ridley says,
and it is to provide walks to correct
that condition that the estimate of
$4,000 is submitted.
Rock Creek Park Estimates.
Col. Ridley explains that the esti-
mate of SCI 800 for the care and inn
provement of Rock Creek Park and
Piney Branch parkway is made neceS-
sary by recent legislation embracing
those parks in the general park sys

Potato Patriotism

UccrntIY the government, ~
mart of It's war and fo"d swing
campaign. has been using space
in the newspapers to request the
usr of more potatoes aud les at
some other food produces. I'M
mc,llatcIy after the publicity had
hcyun to draw attention and the
nuhIL, bcgnn willingly Ia comply
with the government request the
prlcc Of potatoes suddcnl, became
higher. Why
During the early months at the
winter when the order was given
that purv lIascrs should hu, GO
reals in equal amount to the guam
tlty uf rlouI, cereals suddenly hr-
came more expensive. And whN 70
lf7thcrc are more potatoes aud
more cereals available for use
aud the people Of the country are
patriotic enough tn u~c thrm as
the gov crnmcnt requested, WHY
should II he necessary lp increase
hut one answer. and Il H. mt-hN
poor one 90 make iu u patriotic
community, In Oklahoma cav
when the public began tn respond
10 the food administrator picI
that more potatoes be- cuu-umrl.
the price was gradually Increased
100 per cent, In Tulsa this vctk
- cents per peck or ~ cent, pcr

II l. u mighty fine thing thut
people are loyal enough to carr,
out the obligation placed upon
them despite the fine assessed.
hut what about the patriotism and
loyalty uf the dealer Who TAXI,
advantage Of the government
plea to collect his few dirty pcu-
nics?. l. this LOYALTY or doc II
result In IA hlndranrc to the uu-
GRAFTON Of the food administrator
office
Potatoes have not advanced In
price at MuSkogcc, why here
GrWCrNmcn and small dealers
claim that the supply houses nrc
responsible for the Increased price,
and probably this l. true. hut dat
fact does not change the nature
of the ullCn~C. II the supply
houses are responsible they should
have the attention of the food
authorities and " Their power l.
limited, action should h. taken by
officials who have the necessary
authority to correct the system.
Placing II penalty on patriotism
l. poor stuff at this time.
