Profitable Gardening.

Washington's record of 1900 home
gardens and 1920 school gardens dur
ing the past season, with q product
estimated at s., ,396, 500, is one Of which
the capital may well be proud. This
is the more gratifying because of the
increase in the number of gardens
the acreage and the average yield.
In 1917 the local home gardens pro-
duced an average Of $474 to the acre,
while this year it is estimated the
average was approximately 800 to
the acre. This increase in average
productivity is to be attributed to
experience and to systematic instruc-
ton. The money expended in show
ing the people how to till the soil
proved a most profitable investment.
With this marked increase in average
acreage yield as an incentive there is
reason to hope for the maintenance
of an organization throughout the
winter, amply supplied with funds to
insure . thorough eansasa;ns q The

would consult with the President a.
matters came up, and support such
measures as the President approved.
Here was a real howdydo. The an
nouncement was unique. Nothing like
it had ever been heard of in Michigan
before, or elsewhere. Michigan was
overwhelmingly republican. The
President was a democrat. Mr.. Ford
was without classification.
His candidacy, however, was not to
be despised. He was very rich man,
and public-spirited citizen. He was
large employer of labor, and had
the reputation of treating his en-
ployes well. Though in the race solely
at the Presidents suggestion, he was
eager to win, and it was assumed would
exert himself to that end. Like Mr..
Newberry, however, he left his cam
paign in the hands of his friends,
who failed to secure the republican
nomination for him, but did secure
that of the democracy. And on the
single nomination he was beaten.
Should Mr.. Newberry's credentials
be made the subject of an investiga-
ton, the whole case, of course, will be
opened, with Mr.. Ford and his friends
no less than Mr.. Newberry and his
friends brought into the imelght.

Dr. Naon,s RESIGNATION.

Ambassador Naon of Argentina, in
eontroverting the statement issued at
Buenos Aires regarding the attitude
Of the ambassador toward breach of
relations with Germany, leaves no
ground for doubt that had his advice
been followed Argentina now would be
occupying better position toward the
entente and particularly toward the
United States. Yet DR.. Naon did not
put his urgings that Argentina align
herself squarely against the central
powers upon the ground Of material
advantage. He recognized that right
eousness demanded a clear identifi-
cation Of his country with the powers
opposing Germany and her allies. Ar
gentina, however, was induced by an
element plainly subject to Teutonic in
fuences to maintain neutrality, and
those in authority at Buenos Aires re-
sisted even entrance upon an economic
alliance with the entente proposed by
DR.. Naon as compromise.
It is to be regretted that the gov
ernment at Buenos Aires has not fol
lowed the wise counsels Of the am
bassador at this capital. It is to be
also regretted that DR.. Naon, who has
been remarkably successful here dur
ing his years Of service, should find
t necessary to sever his connection.
But he will remain in Argentina an
influence for the maintenance of right
relations between the two republics,
and he cannot fail, especially in the
light of the wars outcome, to occupy
commanding position of influence
with his people upon his return.

The Newberry Case Goes Over.

The present Senate will not inves-
tigate the primary campaign expenses
of Mr.. Newberry of Michigan. Very
properly, the matter goes over to the
next Senate, if that body shall care to
take it up. The opportunity will come
when Mr.. Newberry presents his Gre
dentials as q member.
The case is so unusual, and contains
such interesting features, some action
on that account may be taken.
Mr.. Newberry's candidacy for the
republican nomination for senator sur
pr,sed nobody. He was one of his
patty's leaders in the state, and even
most favorably known in political cir
cIcs outside of the state. The sena-
tership was within range of his nat
ural aspirations. So when he an
nounced for the place his friends and
admirers got busy. He himself took
NO personal part in the conduct Of
the campaign, being absent the while
in New York attending to war duties.
Henry Ford's announcement, on the
other hand, surprised everybody. In
III first place, he was absolutely un-
] mn in political circles. In the sec
Oh place, he wanted to run as the

Holland and Hohenzollefn.

A dispatch from The Hague to Lon
don states that much hostility has de-
veloped against the former emperor
and his elder son on the part of the
people of western Germany, and the
statement is made that it is believed
they would not reach Berlin in safety
if they sought to return to the capital
That there is little chance Of such
return, however, as conditions prevail
at present, is indicated by statement
issued by the Dutch legation at Paris
to the effect that the government of
Holland is closely watching the former
emperor to prevent him from COM
mitting an abuse Of asylum. 1t is to
be inferred that this includes pro-
vision against his leaving for his for
mer realm for the purpose of seeking
a resumption of power. The legations
note states that since his internment
the former emperor has not left the
park of the castle in which he is domi-
ciled.
1t is certain that Holland will be
embarrassed by Hohenzollern's stay.
He cannot fail to prove a problem in
any turn of the ease, whether he re-
mains quietly in the seclusion of sane
tuary or attempts to move for. reac-
ton in Germany or is requisitioned
by the allies for some sort of punish
ment for his crimes. An intimation
is given in the Dutch legations note
that the grant of asylum to the ex-
kaiser is in accord with the tradi-
tion guaranteeing safety to fugitive
Isovereigns. There. have undoubtedly
been instances in the past Of royalty
seeking refuge in neutral lands. For
example, England at this time is shell
tering Manuel, former King Of Por:
tugal. But there is a difference be-
tween the case of Manuel and that
of Hohenzollern. The former was
guilty at worst of only extravaganza
of expenditure and inability to rule
his country. He committed no crime
against humanity, precipitated no
catastrophe. Only the Portuguese peo-
pie have at this time any grievance
against him, and that is slight. He
could probably return in perfect safe
v to his own land.
As long as Holland keeps Hohenzol-
lern under strict surveillance there
is no harm in his remaining there
awaiting decision by the allied powers
as to his ultimate disposition. That
he will be allowed to choose his future
course is not believed possible. That
some sort of penalty will be meted out
% him is taken for granted, whether
it be merely exile under guard, OF i'm
prisonment, or death.

Mr.. McAdoo's Resignation.

Secretary MeAdoo's resignation takes
the public completely by surprise.
There have been no preliminary re-
ports of his purpose to relinquish the
duties of either director of railroads
or Secretary of the Treasury. Usually
sseh moves are presaged by reports
and intima:iors. but in this case Mr..
MeAdco permitted no intimation of his
5ntsution to retire from Office to circu-
late,
The reasons which he gives in his
letter to the President, dated nine days
sgo. are to be accepted without search
for other motives. Simply stated, he
wishes to withdraw from public Office
after almost six years of hard work in
order to replenish his energy and then
to retrieve his personal fortune, both
of which have been impaired in the
course of his service. There can be no
issue on either score. Mr.. McAdoo has
devoted himself unremittingly and
conselentiously to work of the great
est magnitude, heavy enough in ordi-
nsry times. but rendered exceptionally
so by state of war in Europe and
during the last nineteen and a half
months by our participation in that
conflict. The position of Secretary of
the Treasury has been in itself an
onerous and responsible one during
these months, but to that duty, so ex-
acting and important, has been added
the newly created role of director of
railways, in itself calling for urfag-
ging attention to an enormous mass Of
detail.
Mr.. McAdoo chooses the present time
as appropriate for his retirement, mas
much as with the signing of the armis-
tiee peace is in sight and the problems
OF national finance will presumably
from new onward approach the nor
NAL. The railroad administration, how
ever, must continue for probably two
years longer unless the law is changed
Seldom has a man in public Office
worked harder than has the retiring
Secretary of the Treasury or been
faced with greater difficulties. He has
supervised the flotation of four great
national loans, totaling between $17,-
OO0,OOO,000 and $1s,oOo,OO0,oo and he
has in addition handled numerous
short-term issues. He has as Secretary
of the Treasury managed the country's
finances with unmistakable success.
His retirement now when matters are
approaching the stage of funding by
taxation alone is to be regretted, as
his six years of experience have ac-
quainted him exceptionally for the
possibly even more difficult work of
fiscal administration that is to come.
The country, however, cannot expect
Mr.. McAdoo to remain Indefinitely in
office at the sacrifice of health and for
tune. The Office, as he says, carries
but an inadequate compensation, and
its occupant must necessarily surren
der all opportunities for advancement
and profit This is serious misfor-
tune. The President in seeking Mr.
MeAdoo's successor must find a man
who can carry this burden on for at
least two and quarter years without
disturbance of the equilibrium that has
been maintained so successfully by the
retiring Secretary. Whether the new
head of the Treasury Department will
also be administrator of railroads re-
mains to be determined. The combina
tion of the two Offices is not requisite
and it may be inadvisable.
