Washington is first in a great many
things American besides American
Beauty roses and also first In great
many things of beauty besides beauty
roses. In the matter of flowers. as per-
haps in a few other matters, there are
some facts which all Washingtonians
the.American Beauty rose was bred in
Washington. 1t has become famous
ALI over the United States and perhaps
ITS fame extends to other countries.
Another fact is that the District Of Co.
ShuInbia grows roses, violets, orchids,
water lilies, carnations and no doubt
ether flowers for the flower markets Of
distant cities. Go into q New York
flower shop and the bunch Of brilliant.
fragrant roses you buy may have been

flowers and for its nurseries for trees.

'of.the old Saul Nursery may be seen
out the 7th street pike. or Georgia
avenue, in the Saurs Addition neigh
borhood and beyond. Many trees and
shrubs in Rock Creek Park between
Klngle Ford and Pierce Mill are
relics Of the Linnean Hill Nursery.
And there were other nurseries.
:. The growing Of violets, roses and
carnations was early undertaken
along the southerly side Of the East
eFn branch. There the early florists
found water protection from north
winds and also water protection
fru7n west winds, which had to sweep
across the broad Anacostia or across
the wide Potomac. They found valleys
and wales in, and south slopes on, the
great ridge which separates the val
leys;:o Of the Eastern branch and Oxon
.run. They found soil as favorable
sfm certain flowers as it is for many
szfo6d vegetables. The BIadensburg

flowers as are grown in the United
States, and they have contributed

Politics at Home
McAdoo and Bryan.

Mr.. McAdoo is SO interesting man
in the political equation his move
ments and deliverances always attract
attention.
When he transferred his residence
from New York to California opinion
was expressed in some quarters that
by the act he had taken himself out
Of all presidential calculations; that
he had ceased to be an eastern man,
and would be too new as western
man-as Californiap-to be accepted
rs a western aspirant for the demo
cratic nomination in 1924.
But this was not allowed by the
friends Of Mr.. McAdoo, who held that
being now q Californian in good faith
the former Secretary of the Treasury
would be well entitled to considers
ton at the next democratic national
convention as a son Of that state and
section.
Has not the Bryan senatorial candi-
dacy a bearing on this point? Mr..
Bryan as a Floridian is only about q
year old. And yet his friends in the
Peninsula state are pushing him for
the senatorship, and he announces
that If the people desire it he will
stand for the Office at the November
election. If Mr.. Bryan can acquire in
one year status as citizen sufficient
to enable him to stand for the Senate
from Florida. cannot Mr.. McAdoo &C.
quire in two years status as citizen
sufficient to enable him to stand for
the presidency from California?
A further word about Mr.. Bryan.
Whether he makes the grade in Florida
or not, by announcing his willingness
to enter the Senate has he not taken
himself out Of all calculations about
the presidency? AS rule. the way to
the White House, or even to presi-
Dental nomination, does not lead
through the Senate. 1t did in Mr..
Harding's case, but his case in so ex.
ceptional in every particular it could
be copied only with very great risk.
The presidential hoodoo Is still asso-
c!able with the Senate.

poration. who is chairman OF the

The Hague rules" Is a veritable
iss,n burning issue sue II shipping circles
THIS Is set OF rules adopted by
q meeting at The Hague. September :,
1921. These are rules to define the
risks to be assumed by the ocean
carriers under a bill OF ladine. They
recognise the received for shipment"
bill Of lading. There is an inter-
acceptance OF this rule. There are
those who claim that only received on
board" Is true bill Of ladine.
Also, with regard to ocean trans
portatton, the pilferass insurance
question will provoke cons,dera Bile
discussion. Piiferage has been 80
serious the last few years that some
of the big companies refuse to write
pilferase insurance, and q number of
important shippers have been trying
to get the ocsap carriers to assume
all responsibility for losses of this
sort, just rs some Of the railroads do
in this country. The carriers are
fighting this proposal to the bitter
end.
Another perennial subject that
blooms forth is "Education FOR for

through a period, OF this sort Of
education with the result that q

Senator Hitchcock.

Mr.. Hitchcock wants another term
in the Senate, and will have no oppo-
sition for tho democratic nomination.
The primary takes place July 1s. But
he will have.to put up q stiff fight for
election. The republicans Of Nebraska
are not, as in some states, in the
dumps. There are several aspirants
for their senatorial nomination, with
the prospects good for a foeman
worthy of Mr.. Hitchcock's steel.
In the election Of 1915 Mr.. Hitchcock
had twelve thousand votes the best Of
the poll. Nebraska that year gave her
support to Mr.. Wilson. In 1890 she
gave Mr.. Harding nearly a hundred
and thirty thousand majority.
If Mr.. Hitchcock is reelected in
November, and the result elsewhere in
the country heartens the democracy
for 1924, the Blackwater senator, it
is understood, will offer again for the
presidency and ask instructions from
home governing the states delegation
to the next democratic national con.
vention.
/. The case in his behalf is stated thus:
He will be the most prominent demo.
crat living between the Mississippi
river and the Pacific ocean. Champ
Clark is dead. Mr.. Bryan has moved
to Florida. Mr. McAdoo has just hung
out his shinsle in California, and by
1924 can hardly hope to be accounted
q son Of the west. This will leave Mr..
Hitchcock II he achieves another term
in the Senate the only man in that
part Of the country whose name can
be persuasively associated with the
democratic national leadership.
This. OF course, will enter into the
senatorial contest. Mr.. Hitchcock's
friends will point out that something
more than the senatorship is in the
scale; that by indorsing him this time
they may hope for renewal OF the
prominence Mr.. Bryan gave the state
when in 1895 he became the democ-
racy's national leader and remained SO
until 1912-sixteen years.

Imitation Stun.

Imitation Stun.
What makes this old world seem so
rough
Is only imitation stuff;
The imitation leadership
That leads US on q wild goose trip;
The imitation styles OF art
That make suggestiveness seem smart:
The imitation social pace;
The imitation pious grace
Such things az these sometimes appear
To get this old world going queer
But the old virtues still abide
OF simple faith and honest pride.
The hutterins OF a fieetinx TAD
Has often made the cynic sad.
This earth that spins the long years
through
Is still the world our srandsires knew
A world where happiness and fame
Go to the men who play the game
Prepared in honor to compete;
Generous to all, save to the cheat.
Though whins and fancies come and
go
The solid worth still rests below
The bubble Of the froth and fluff
That's only imitation stuff!

THE NOBEL PRIZE

THE NOBEL PRIZE
II would perhaps be wise for Nobel
prize winners Of certain countries to
cash In their awards and then hold the
sums for the days Of better exchange.
There is the case of Walter Nernst Of
Berlin, for instance. In accordance
with the will Of Alfred Nobel, the prize
money music be paid in Swedish
kroner says the Christian Science
Monitor. Consequently when Herr
Nernst cashed in his kroner, which In
normal times would have amounted TO-
10000 marks, he received 5,830,448
marks! Anatole France received 378,.
Ill francs. In Scandinavia the effects
were disturbing. The peace prize, for
instance, was divided between Brant.
Ing of Sweden, who received 60,798
Swedish kroner, and LANCE Of Norway,
who received l00,473 Norwegian
kroner. The Nobel committee, 1t 10
rumored, Is somewhat worried over
these, absurd defations and mutations
Of the prizes.
