1t is from the Commoner itself,
which is published here. that the
Straws are taken which shows the
way the wind is blowing. In the cur
rent issue one finds under the sigma :
ture of William Jennings Bryan the
following editorial about Hiram John-
son:
Senator johnson has come nearer
than any other associate of Mr
Roosevelt in maintaining a hold upon
the progressive sentiment of his
party. He surprised the Wall street
crowd by the following he developed
among the rank and file of that party.
If there had been a national primary
SO that all republicans could have ex-
pressed themselves through the ballot
he would have exerted much larger
influence in the republican convention.

On another page, but near enough
not to be overlooked, is reprinted
from the Sunset Magazine para
graph from an article under the sig
nature of Hiram johnson which says:
1T was refreshing to listen to Will

cratic national convention. There may
be little he said with which we agree,
but. at least. he had his say. He stood
before hostile convention. spoke his
heart. and while the delegates stoIidly

BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

LINCOLN. Neb., October 1.-Hiram
johnson and William Jennings Bryan
are exhibiting a species of political
affinity this year which is just COM
ing to the surface. 1t ought not to
go unchronicled because the entente
they are establishing may have an i'm
portant bearing on what happens to
the republican and democratic parties,
respectively, after the election is over
and the political truces under which
each of these two veterans is operat-
ing have come to an end.
Bryan likes johnson and johnson
likes Bryan. Politically they have as
much right to exchange views and
share their joys and sorrows over
two candidates, that is about all their
friendship signifies to date, accord
ing to those here who know that
Messrs. Johnson and Bryan have been
exchanging personal notes of late.
What they have said to each other
about the respective candidates of
their respective parties would prob
ably be interesting reading if it were
not intended for the privacy of their
friendship.
New Alignment Expected.
But when the election has been de-
cided. then a new alignment in pol
itics may be expected. Senator john
son will endeavor to lead the progress
sive wing of the republican party and
William jennings Bryan probably will
feel that if Cox is defeated the mantle
of leadership should go to the oldest

FOREIGN PURCHASE
Of SH|PYARDS TO
HIT j. s, RUMORED
Hog Island Plant May Be
''Scrapped" if Reported
Plans Carry.

The Hog Island shipyard near
Philadelphia may be purchased by
foreign interests, probably British or
German, and then scrapped to pre-
vent further expansion of the Ameri-
can merchant marine through. utiliza-
ton of Hog Island as shipyard or as
a terminal, it was learned today un-
officially. Such sale may be made to
bogus American representatives Of
British or German firms. it was said,
who will destroy Hog Island as ship
ping center for the United States
officials Of the Shipping Board today
declined to comment on the report. It
is known. however, that Mayor J,
Hampton Moore of Philadelphia Is in
terested in retention of the big ship
yard, and that any attempts of British
or German coalitions to obtain control
of the yard will be vigorously fought
by Philadelphia business men.
Plan Is Explained.
The plan, is was explained today by
a man in close touch with shipping
matters, contemplates one of two
things: Either the yard will be pur-
chased by foreign interests and
scrapped, or it will be turned into a
monster terminal to compete with
terminals for New York, whose har-
Dor IS alTedQy OSeTCTOWucu. SOHlIOi
in either event would be outside the
United States.
Bids for the shipyard, which has
been appraised at various sums from
$50, ,000, ,000s to $75,000.000, will be
opened October 30 at the Shipping
Board. The yard has been declared the
best equippe0 shipyard in the world.
1t was huiltfn 1918 as the largest
center for building of the marine fleet
designed to overcome losses sustained
by the allies through submarine war
fare.
Possession Still Held.
Possession of the Hog Island prop
erty will not pass from the United
States Shipping Board Emergency
Fleet Corporation until completion OF
the present shipbuilding program, about
February 1, 1921.
Bids must be accompanied by a
certified check for $1,000,000 to be
applied upon the purchase price to
be paid by the successful bidder, the
balance to be paid within five years
In announcing competitive bidding
for the yard, the board stated that bid
ders must be American or the corpora
tions they represent be American con-
trolled.

WOULD LEVY COST
OF BETTER PARKING
ON HOME OWNERS
Maj. Besson Makes Recon-
mendatiOns to D. c. Com
miSSi0nerS.

Levying of an assessment against
property owners for the upkeep of
tree box spaces. and also for the cut
ting of weeds on park space in front
of vacant ground. has been recon-
mended to the Commissioners by Mai.
f. S. Besson, assistant engineer COM
missioner.
Discussing his recommendation in
reference to the tree spaces, Maj.
Besson said today he did not believe
such an assessment would amount to
as much as dollar a year, and yet
would add greatly to the beauty of
the city.
Many an otherwise beautiful
street" said Maj. Besson in his recon-
mendation, lis marred in Washing
/ ton by dirty. washed-out and blow
grade tree spaces. Some citizens
make a real effort to maint ain these
spaces and their results are depreci-
ated by Indifferent neighbors. This
could be remedied If the District were
enabled to take care of such neglected
! tree spaces on the assessment system
Such is not a radical proposition. as
it is working successfully in other
cities. and inquiries from many Wash.
ingtonians indicate that Legislative
authority enabling the sodding OF
tree spaces on the assessment system
would be welcomed"
Needs Discussed.
Discussing weeds on vacant property.
! the major recommends:
at is generally accepted fact that
weed cutting is justified from a sanf-
tary and health standpoint. With it's
available funds the trees and park
ings division is able to make but
small progress in cutting weeds on
n = alnnR QiNa-
walks in front of open lots and vacant
houses. Expenditures for such pur-
pose are an indirect tax against citi-
| zens in general 1t would be more
just procedure, and weeds would be
effectively controlled, il abuttfng
property owners could be taxed d.
rectly for the work. 1t is therefore
recommended that legislative au-
ment for the cost of necessary weed

sioners that the office of public build
ings and grounds is desirous Of hay

II is recommended that a permanent
site for these purposes. and also for

asphalt plant stands in the line of the
