Land Of Skaters.

Holland Is a wonderful place for
skating, for, in winter especially, large
stretches of land are under water. and
these freeze over, as do many of the
almost countless canals which thread
their way about the country, from
place TO place, like the railways do in
other lands. One of the great ambi-
lions Of the Dutch skater is TO visit
seven towns in one day. and there is
one favorite round which. starting
from little town called LeepHarden,
it Is possible to travel over the ice In
circle and, after visiting six other
towns, find oneself near Leeuwarden
again. The distance which must be
covered TO complete the round is about
100 miles, and the burgomaster Of each
town, or some one who takes his place,
is ready to receive the skaters as they
pass through and certify that they
have fulfilled their task.-Christian

All of this goes to the point Of show

extravaganza Of continuing to house

should not be in the position Of pre-
ferred tenant, with power to name the
rent and to remain in possession
against the will Of the owner.
The government has the power to
commander any building that 1t oc-
cupies for public purposes by con.
demnation. 1t can in the present case
condemn the building and use it as its
own. In point Of fact. the continued
occupation Of this building at lower
rate than the own r charges is in ef-
feet condemnation without going
through the procedure prescribed by
law. The government surely should
not put itself in this attitude. The di.
rect correction Of such fault lies
through the provision Of adequate
government buildings under govern
ment ownership.

Oles Out of Office.

Ex-Mayor George L. Oles Of Youngs-
town. Ohio, just resigned in conse-
quence of attacks upon him and his ad-
ministration. is disillusioned man.
He ran for the Office last fall as an in
dependent. and was elected after a
sensational campaign, in which he
promised to do things for Youngstown
which it urgently needed done. The
people took him at his own valuation
and put the reins in his hands. Now
he throws them down disgusted, sick
at heart, sore, saying that he has had
only five expressions of thanks in six
stormy months and more kicks than q
man can conveniently count.
Oles and his friends say that he
gave Youngstown good government.
His enemies say that he was incom-
petent and even aver that he accepted
graft A petition for his removal had
been sent to the governor. Perhaps
Oles has quit while the quitting is
good. Perhaps he just naturally
thought that the game was not worth
the candle. AS a matter of fact, the
troubles Of office are so great that 1t
would seem to be hardly worth while
for any busy citizen to accept a
place. especially such a sure-f1re trou-
BILE place as mayor. A square man

for the annual maintenance OF the
District government, and also has
hxed the scale Of pay. Had the mat
ter been left to District initiative there
would undoubtedly have been a larger
and better paid force, insuring more
adequate inspection.
II in the judgment Of Congress
there 10 a liability for the dsathu and
the injuries inflicted in the collapse Of
the building, that liability should rest
upon the United States alone. In this
matter the inspection force Of the Dis
trict government is the agent Of the
government. The District Of Colum.
bia has no part in its organization,
save in the selection Of the individuals,
and in that selection it is hampered
by the scale Of pay adopted in the ap.
preparation bill.
But would it not be unwise, save as
an act Of charity-in which case the
federal money alone should be used
of those who suffered from the dis
safer, however urgently the survivors
and the families Of the dead may need
assistance? The building was a pri-
vate one, not like the old Ford
Theater on 10th street. the collapse Of
which caused the death Of about a
score and the injury of many others.
In that case there was a direct liability
on the part Of the government for the
failure of it's own property and the
fault Of its direct agents in the re.
modelling Of the building while occu-
pied for public service. If financial
responsibility for deaths or injuries
that are caused by the collapse Of pri-
vately owned buildings is to be as
sumed by the government or the Dis.
trict on the ground that inspection
was faulty, wide range Of liability
is opened.

Liability for Disaster.

The proposition that has been ad.
vanced in Congress to pass a bill ap-
propriating the sum Of $4,000, 1000 for
the relief Of sufferers from the Knick-
erbocker Theater disaster raises an
interesting question Of responsibility.
1t is urged by the proponent of the
measure that the burden of blame
rests upon the government and the
District for failure to conduct proper
inspection Of the building during its
construction. Apart from any other
consideration. 1t may be suggested
that 1t would be altogether unfair to
put upon the District any part of the
financial liability, even though it be
maintained that lack Of adequate in.
epection caused or permitted the col.
lapse of the building. For the Distric.

Politics at Home
The Color Line in Politics.

/. There is talk in Florida OF reor.
sanfzing the republican party Of the
state on a basis exclusively white.
The colored voter, or rather the col
ored man entitled under the federal
Constitution to vote, is to be ex-
ciuded,
An experiment of this kind was
tried in Virginia last year. The re-
publicans Of the Old Dominion made
an appeal for support for state ticket
which had been nominated by a con-
vention composed only of white men.
The experiment failed completely.
The colored contingent Of the party
resented the movement by putting q
state ticket of its own in the field,
while those democrats for whom the
white contingent was angling failed or
refused to bite. The democratic ticket
was elected by the largest ma ajority
ever recorded in a state contest.
The experiment In Florida will fall,
and deserve to fail. The colored man
was enfranchised by the republican
party, and, wherever permitted to
vote, has ever since supported repub-
lican candidates, state and national.
In some states he has been, and still
is. a material factor in republican cal
culations. He responds to party ap-
peals, and votes straight
That he is excluded from all politi-
cal activity in other states is no fault
Of his. He is the victim Of circum-
stances and prejudices over which he
has no control
Juggling in this fashion with the
suffrage will yield nothing to the re-
publicans who attempt it. If the south
ern states are to be converted to re-
publicanism it must be through ap-
peals based upon principles and poll
cies, and not upon appeals recognizing
prejudices which the democrats have
established and fostered and from
which derived a long list OF local bene-
fits. The Constitution forbids the
drawing of the color line at the
polls. and provides peralty wherc
the line is drawn.

An Unusual Boom.

The Ford boomers are not vocal
these days, but busy sounding senti-
ment in quiet way as to the
boomees chances.
Outsiders, however. are asking ques-
tions. Is Mr.. Ford a republican? If
so, what about Mr.. Harding? AS a
rule. republicans, whether for or
against the administration. or only
languidly observing the situation, are

ton.
II Mr.. Fords supporters have an in
dependent nomination in view, what
is the basis of their claim that Mr..
Ford as a candidate would run par
ticularly well in the south? The south
the lower south-is incontestably
democratic. She withstood even the
cyclone Of 1920. Is there the slightest
prospect of commotion more violent
than that in 1924? Is it possible to
conceive as matters stand of a presi-
dental candidate or platform other
than democratic with the ghost of a
show in the lower south two years
hence?
Mr. Ford's position in politics is
Unique. He had not been thought Of
as a potential political leader until
Woodrow Wilson. then President. sug-
gested him for the Senate. And Mr..
Wilson was a democrat. Mr.. Ford a
republican, and Michigan a republic
an state.
Still, the suggestion, odd as it was,
caught on, and some men, rated as
practical politicians, became Ford
boomers. They were republicans. and
realized that, elected to the Senate in
such circumstances, Mr.. Ford would
necessarily be Wilson man, and not
a representative Of republican policies.
Mr.. Ford, however. missed the Sen
ate, as he is likely to miss the presi-
dency His position, strong in the
business world, is too indefinite in the
political world to make his name one
of potency to conjure with there.
