THE L-AUG
Always seeing the funny side.
That's the glorious way of him.
Rollin' his head, with his mouth
stretched wide,
As quick to laugh as a duck to swim;
Whatever you say or whatever you do,
He'll answer you back with chuckle
or two.
Laughing from mornin' tIll night, Il
seems,
Just chock fun of the gift O. fun.
An the angels send him their comic
dreams
Sos he can grin for 'em every one.
An his grandma says when he laughs
her down,
He's the disrespectfullest boy in town.

That Congress should, under these
conditions, delegate to the Secretary
of the Interior authority to make the
easements sought for Immediately ef-
fective and irrevocable cannot but
seem incredible. Yet, unsound though
the arguments in favor Of this spe-
cific project are, their unsoundness is
but a secondary reason why the bill
should be killed. The main feature
for Congress and the nation at large
to bear in mind is the matter Of dan
gerous precedent in permitting the in
cursion of any commercial interests
into the park at any time-however
plausible the arguments in favor Of
such concessions. Ninety-nine and
three-quarters per cent Of the area
of the United States is today primarily
devoted to economic use. The ma

Gated to the purpose of forever pre-

cent Of that area. Should the time
come when America shall have so
fully developed its other productive
resources that it truly can no longer
afford to maintain the parks intact,
then and not till then, should the
parks be abandoned as such and open
ed to commercial exploitation. That
period is happily still far removed, and
until it arrives the policy Of Congress
must be to take no chances-to adj

Safeguarding the Crowds.

Warning is being given, through
police channels, to crooks of all grades
and styles of work to keep away from
Washington during the next few
weeks, and especially during the in
Iauguration period. The District police
force will be on the watch for all those
who are known to be engaged in any
shifty kind Of business and will nab
them on arrival. They will be held
as suspicious characters" even If
they commit no breach Of the peace,
as a general precaution. It is be-
lieved that the warning that has been
given will suffice to discourage most
of these gentry from coming here.
A big crowd always attracts the
pickpockets, the swindlers, the con.
sorts, who prey upon the public. For
tunately many of these people are
identified by means Of police photo
graphs, obtained in the course Of
|round-ups and individual arrests. The
Washington headquarters. In close
touch with the police bureaus Of all
the cities. will have a fairly complete
collection Of these Identifying mate
rails, so that there is small chance of a
suspect getting through the lines, even
in the great crush that is likely to
occur a few weeks hence.
The public rarely learns of these
arrests ION suspicion" when a crowd
gathers and the police are on guard
to protect the community. The Off.
GERS. in plain clothes. are stationed at
the railroad terminal and at other
points Of ingress and scrutinize the
incoming passengers. With them
often stand representatives Of the Do
lice bureaus of other cities, more
familiar with the active groundwork
ers. A questionable character appears,
is quietly approached and invited to
go to headquarters. There he is ex.
amined. measured and, If identified
as one Of the known crooks, is held
in restraint until the opportunity for
active work has passed. Or he may be
shunted back to his own town with
warning net to return.
This protective police work is worth
much to the people who gather here.
1t probably saves many thousands Of
dollars and repays all the expense at.
tached to it, many fold.

crowds on the Chautauqua circuit. As
a politician he is still consulted about

Price Defation Inequalities.

Students of economic conditions are
"stumped' by the stage which has
been reached in the process OF bust
ness readjustment and price defiation.
Prices of many commodities have
receded to and even below pre-war
figures, yet the general price level in
this country remains about go per cent
above that of the early months OF
1914. Manifestly, this results in in
CAPABILITIES and injustices. and unless
there is speedy correction of the evil
it will operate to retard that restora-
ton to healthful basis which it has
been hoped would follow passing Of
the disorders of deflation.
Manufacturers and merchants have
sacrificed prospective profits, and in
many instances have endured serious
losses, in order to move stocks Of
goods. If manufacturers were able
to create new stocks and merchants
to replenish their shelves at the lower
levels which their sacrifices have Gre
ated, these sacrifices would soon be
forgotten and the country would be
on its way to sounder if less hectic
prosperity. But, unfortunately, in a
discouraging proportion Of cases they
are not able to do this. They find that
in many of the markets where they
must buy wartime price levels are
being maintained. and, with that dread
a child once burned is said to have of
the fire, they are holding back from
buying.
For the situation as it now exists
the economic doctors are not as eager
to prescribe as they were few
months ago. Their don't buy rem
edy has thrown the patient into the
expected fit, but apparently fits are
not so easily cured as they had
thought. As a matter Of fact, Amer
lea. in common with the rest Of the
world, is afflicted with an unprecedent-
ed malady, and about the most that
can be expected Of the doctors is that
they will provide palliatives for symp-
toms as they become aggravated. No
cure-all remedy has been or is likely
to be found. The healing will be slow
as the disease runs its course; but in
America, at least, the business body is
organically sound, and however great
the present distress there is no rea-
son to fear that recovery will not be
complete.

tics and Office. He has just retired
from political life after an experience
Of twenty-odd years, and has a com.

Well, maybe. And then maybe not,
The exclamation Is doubtless sincere,
The governor had a strenuous time
while conducting the peoples affairs
as their servant, and now he can
move a little leisurely in conducting
his own affairs as his own servant,
Busy as he may be in his new walk,
it will afford him by comparison a sort
Of rest.
But after he is rested; after he
turns as locker on to observe how
others are playing the political game,
and particularly after some of his old
comrades tell him that he ought ia
get back into it-then what? We
must wait for the answer.
While he played the game the GOV.
ernor played well in all the places he
| filled. He was very much praised
! while filing the governorship. He did
not have the chance that David r.
Hill did in the Office, but he probably
did better in it than any democrat who
has filled it since Hills day.
He is comparatively a young man
in the early forties. Democratic
leaders are scarce in New York TODAY
At one time they were numerous
Cleveland, Hill. Whitney, Manning
Lamont. Flower and several others
were men Of national consequence.
But "all are gone, the old familia,
faces" The new faces have not proved
SO attractive. Gov. Smith stands IN,

Of the leading state Of the Union
should play national part, whv
should he not shy his castor int

POLITICS AT HOME

A mayor is to be elected in Greater

nominate a candidate Of exceptional
strength. Should he be republican
appealing for straight party support:
or an Independent. capable of polling
a large Independent vote?
There is a division of opinion. Az
some Of the republicans ask. why not
a straight appeal with strict party
man? AS sentiment has shifted to the
republicans. why not recognize the
change frankly? What would be
gained by putting up an independent
Give the independents the right sort
Of republican to vote for, and they
will accept him.
On the other hand. there are repub

The plague Of the big town, they point
out, has been party government. Tam
many control has always signif1ed
ruthless party advantage. The demo
Gratis have divided the spoils among
themselves for personal and party
advantage, leaving the public welfare

Among the republicans suggested
for the nomination is Senator Calder,
