THE DoLDRUMs" AND POLITICS

longtime observers Of politics deplore the APP
parent lethargy OF the American people toward the
candidates for presidential nominations Despite the
hubbub that has been raised various quarters for
favorite asprants it is generally true that the average
man is sitting back and thinking. And inquiry may
reveal that this respect the present lack Of ex-
element differs from present eras of the dodrums
today the nation has its thinkng atop its
head The calm net Indifference it is the hesitation
that pretedes history making decision.
Before the summer Is over-unless the conven-
lions fall down woefully At Of defining isl
sues and ideals-we shall he RECALLED with wealth
the political enthusiasm that the elders Of today
regard as oldfashioned and healthfuI. Great ques-
lions call for solution and in such momentous days
there be lack OF great leaders for the times
such as breed sta1wart champions. No wonder
some wiseacres are limiting the possibility Of a
dark horse" electrifying the country. In veDy
real sense candidates frequently mentioned for

more playgrounds-andt there is room
for at least twice as many-a greater
number of children could be accom-.
modated. There should be one within
easy access for every child in Wash.

ground is often so far away from
home that children cannot go to ii
and the result is that many young.
sters play in the street, in constant
peril. The bare possibility of loss of
some Of the now equipped play
grounds, as set forth in The Star the
other day, has aroused the keenest
apprehension among the parents of
Washington. The play spaces are now
regarded as essentials of the muniei-
pal equipment, and there can be no
doubt of the force Of the appeal
which. will be heard in Congress for
putting this system on a permanent
basis and extending it as rapidly as
the public funds permit.

no more harmful agitation was ever

no more harmful agifati0n was ever
launched.
Coming westward from its present
seat in Russia, this malevolent infiu-
ence now seeks to undermine the
faith Of the American people in their
established system, to transform them
from peaceful citizens into revolu-
tionists, radicals, anarchists, murder.
ers and thieves. It needs but brief
thought to persuade the average in
teligent American that he is person
ally menaced by this attempt to over
throw the present institutions of So
ciety and the present economic struc-
ture.
The Attorney General simply asks
for thought on the question. For
through thought will come determi-
nation to resist in every possible way
the propaganda that is now 50 per-
niciously promoted. The government
will continue its fight to identify and
punish or deport those who are en-
gagged in the promotion of criminal
radicalism. But the people must help.
They must be quick to denounce the
whisperers of sedition and the agents
of revolt who now. openly and again
secretly keep at their work with per
sistence worthy of a good cause de-
spite the fact that they are hopelessly
in the minority in this land Though
they are in the minority these malevo-
lents may do much harm and must be
fought as vigorously and as eontinu-
ously as though they were actually a
formidable army Of invasion seeking
to conquer and destroy.

The National Enemy.

Attorney General Paln.s in a state
.cent issued to :nv people Of this
country calls upon them to unite in
an effort to resist and suppress rad.
iealism in all its forms. He virtually
recommends a New Year resolution
by all patriotic citizens to study and
understand the meaning of the red
movement in America. 1t requires
but brief study to know the menace.
Mr.. Palmer very clearly points out
that bolshevism and its kindred doc.
trines aim at the security, the well
fare, the prosperity and even the
lives Of practically all the people Of
this country. These pernicious the
ories of social organization seek the
destruction of everything that nor
NAL men and women hold dear. And
the pity is that this preachment is
eouched in terms of defamation for
n., rights. No more sinister
Se1n Try was ever proclaimed and

Elevator Safety.

A certificate of accidental death has
been issued in the case of Mrs. Dodge,
who was shockingly killed yesterday
in an elevator in an apartment house
in this city. In stepping into the
car she slipped and the conductor, a
young woman who had been en-
ployed in that service only three
days, reached to catch her and in some
manner not yet clearly explained the
car started at full speed upward, with
the result that the victims body was
caught in the opening and crushed.
This accident should cause a thor
ough inquiry into the experience and
capacity of persons employed in this
city in the management of elevators.
For the past two years or more ele-
vator service in Washington has been
intrusted in large degree to persons
who could have had but little expert
ence in the management Of these dan
gerous devices. Substitute operators
became almost the rule at the time
when men were joining the service
or were leaving that employment for
more remunerative positions. Nor
NAL conditions have not been restored
and it would seem from yesterdays
accident that there is urgent need of
q rigid investigation and the subjec-
ton Of all elevator conductors to thor
ough tests to determine their capa-
hilities, not only Of operating cars in
ordinary conditions, but in handling
their machines in emergencies.

Save the Fairgrounds!

, A systematic effort has been inaug-
urated by the parks committee of the
Board Of Trade to secure from Con.
gress at this session appropriations
to put the Districts Fairgrounds on a
permanent basis. This will appeal to
all the people in Washington and their
voices should be unanimously raised
in support Of this demand. For the
Fairgrounds are life-savers. They pro-
teet the children from accident by
giving them spaces in which to en-
gage in their games Of recreation and
exercise and, moreover, they teach
them better methods of play. They
are training grounds as well as play
grounds. Tho $4,000 children who on
an average visited these grounds daily
during the past year are better and

SHOOTING STARS.
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON.

Happy New Year.
Wish you Happy New Year! Haven't
time today
To start a conversation in the ordi-
nary way.
It isn't so exacting as an intellectual
game,
Wish you Happy New Year-and no
doubt you'll say the same.
Let the league of nations enjoy a
needed rest.
Let the various booms be for a little
while suppressed,
While we turn to hearty greetings in
the good, old-fashioned way.

Gems. Wood and PershiAg.

Gen. Woods hat, or cap-as you
please-is in the ring. By formal an.
nouncement, he is a candidate for the
republican nomination for President
The announcement was made at
Pierre, 8. D, yesterday, the last day
of grace in that state.
The generals home city is given as
Bourne, Mass. This probably does
not mean a candidacy based on the
fayorite son idea. Gov. Coolidge rep
resents the Bay state in the equation,
and If that state inst1ucts for the Chi
cago nomination it will be for him.
Such, at any rate, is the present belief
and prospect.
Gen Wood is a national figure and
quantity. He is q native Of New
Hampshire. He has resided in Massa-
ehusettx, az this declaration shows.
His present address is Chicago. BE
rose to notice IN the west His repn-
tation IS socketed in service al q sol
aieF. Years ago he was active In
Indian warfare. Later, he was in
commission in Cuba and the Philip
pzRes, and distinguiahed himself in
beth countries- Later still, and in
recent years, he has been a leader in
the movement for enlarging and
Strengthening the governments mill
ta1y machine-an upstanding cham
pion Of preparedness.
Thus considered, Gen. Wood as the
head of the republican national ticket
could carry either an eastern, west
ern or q middle state man for com
panion.
Very likely, this definite step in
the case of Gen. Wood will result in
something definite in the ease Of Gen.
Pershing. He, too, is national fig
ure and quantity. A native of Mis-
souri,, . resident for . time Of Ne
braska, a successful soldier in this
country, in Cuba, in the Philippines
and in France, he does not appear in
presidential speculation as a favorite
SON Of any state, although Nebraska
shows a willingness to stand for him
Either an eastern, q western, or mid.
die state man would answer as a
presidential candidate with him.
The relations between Gen. Wood
and Theodore Roosevelt were so ex-
ceedingly close and cordial, the Roose.
welt influence, which remains consid-
erable, is quoted as a Wood asset. II
is now being recalled, however, that
it was Mr.. Roosevelt who when Presi.
dent gave Gen., then Capt, Pershine
a rich reward for a performance in
the Philippines, and by that promo
tion started him on the upward path
he has since so successfully trod. And
when he returned from France one
of Gen. Pershing's first calls was on
Mrs. Roosevelt and her children al
Oyster Bay.
These two candidates. add much
to the interest Of the republican stu
alton; and if both continue and ap
pear at Chicago in June to be reck
Z; oned with there, they will add very
| much to the interest of the repub
lican national convention, which, or
every account, promises to be lively
