For the last thirty years, every tree

Supt. Lanham Is going ahead and
will plant 1000 trees in Washington
this year, but he will do it with the
knowledge that other necessities of
the capitals tree system are being
neglected. For instance (and this is
not to alarm anybody unduly). Mr.
Lanham says there are several hun
dred trees in the capital today which
constitute actual menaces to lfo and
property. They should be cut down
and removed. But they must stand
until more funds are provided.
If all the trees In the capital grew
along one side of road, they would
stretch for 5S4 miles. This would
make a tree-lined avenue 2e2 miles
long. This avenue must not be
neglected. The trees. which in youth
sheltered our fathers, must be cared

Fairgrounds.

The public playground situation is
helped by the dedication to play pur-
poses of the large undeveloped space
adjacent to Union station. This is
legally part of the Capitol grounds.
and it was loaned by Elliott Woods,
architect of the Capitol. and its use
for playground purposes was approved
by Vice President Coolidge and
Speaker Gillett of the House.
The addition of these parcels of land
to the playground area will help to
tide over a condition in which there
was but poor prospect that city chill.
dren could play in safety and under
preper. supervision. The loan Of the
Tahd-is a happy expedient in an emer-
gssfeS 1t is a relief, but not a cure, Of
the playground shortage. The public
land eabout Union station, the main
gate of. the capital, is not the proper
place for children's public play
grounds, and this land must sooner or
later be brought into park state as a
part Of the Capitol grounds. But for
the favor received in the emergency
the. city offers it's thanks to Messrs.
Woods. Coolidge and Gillett.

Pennsylvania and the Senate.

The leading contest in the Pennsyl
vania republican primaries this year
will be over the seat in the Senate
now occupied by Mr.. Grow. For the
other nomination, Mr.. Pepper, it is
understood. will be unopposed.
The two Camerons were extremely
clever politicians, but silent men. The
son particularly had q gift for holding
his tongue most unusual in one SC
quick Of apprehension and so prompt
Of decision. During his service in the
Senate he probably occupied less time
in the discussions than any other
member Of the body.
And both Mr.. Quay and Mr.. Penrose
were of the Cameronian school. Both
were clever in management and able
in the power Of statement. but neither
availed himself often of his opportuni-
ties for addressing the Senate. Mr..
Quay was so Indifferent on the point
he rarely remained to listen to the ad.
dresses OF others.

He possessed ia;,re knowledge of the

made an address by him worth the
while OF both the Senate and the coun-
try. No speaker on either side Of the
chamber commanded closer attention
for his deliverances.
Evidently Pennsylvania likes the
change. Having in Mr.. Pepper another
lawyer of high grade with the gift of
expression. she purposes keeping him
where he can exercise his gift to, his
own and her best advantage. T''''

Friendship With Japan.

Cable dispatches from Japan tell of
widespread public qualification that the
United States Senate has ratified the
four-power treaty, and that ratifica-
ton seems assured for the other agree
ments growing out of the Washington
conference. 1t is reported also that
the Japanese government is preparing
treaty to the fullest extent, both as to
the letter and the spirit. Of the com.
pact; that the disposition. if anything.
is to go a little beyond strict require
ments rather than to stop short OF
them.
There does not seem to be in Japan
any inclination to question the entire
good faith of the United States and
the other governments which sat in
the Washington conference. 1t would
seem, then, that questioning in this
country Of Japan's good faith should
come 10 an end. Except possibly for
a number SO small as to be incon-
siderable. the people OF this country
want to be friends with the Japanese
people, just as they want to be friends
with peoples everywhere. But sus.
picion never yet has begotten friend
ship, and neither the Washington con-
ference treaties nor agreements of
any sort can make effectively for
friendship and enduring peace unless
they have back Of them good will
and a reasonable trust and confidence
in the fair intentions of the other
parties.
1t may be that Japan's course in
the past has been such as to have
warranted doubt as to the nature of
her purposes. but in the Washington
conference she was committed by her
representatives to a definite program
Of friendly conduct. not only toward
the United States but toward China
and other powers. That program calls
upon Japan to do certain specific acts
of restoration and otherwise. II these
obligations are lived up to there will
be no danger that Japan will endanger
the peace Of the world. Until she de.
faults in these obligations neither in
the United States nor elsewhere has
any one a right to call into question
her sincerity and traightforwardness.

there is anything which should be
written down as remarkable in the

Is their courage and persistence in
declining from year to year the offers
OF nobility perpetually thrust upon
them. Realizing that their private
estate as an ordinary citizen is an
aid to their political usefulness in
public life. they have until this year
held aloof from all distinguishing
marks or titles. Both have now ac-
cepted the Order of the Garter. Their
achievement in resisting so long is
really more of stunt than similar
modesty on the part Of Cedric

Service Above Self.

With the 1922 conference of the
eastern division of Rotarians in prog.
ress in the National Capital. Wash
ingtonians are afforded the well worth
while opportunity of considering the
significance Of an organization which,
still in its. youth. has already made a
marked impression upon the business
standards Of America and the world
at large. That opportunity should not
be neglected. For though the Ro-
tarians may we'll gain from their visit
to Washington an inspiration borne
of immediate contact with those gov
ernmental agencies essential to their
interests; though the imposing struc-
ture Of the government under which
they live and prosper may leave a
never-to-be-forgotten impression upon
their minds-it is possible that the Ma
tional Capital, considering the spirit
out of which the Rotary clubs have
come into being, will gain even more
than this from its distinguished
visitors.
of the Rotarians, the splendid prin-
ciple upon which the whole organiza-
tion has been erected cannot but carry
an impelling desire into the hearts Of
thoughtful men and women. That prin-
ciple, clearly defined as a cameo. is set
forth in the motto of Rotary: Service
Above Self" In the enunciation of
that guiding rule in their lives Rotary
has epitomized the basic need of civili-
zation.
Never before in the history of man.
kind has there been more urgent need
for the concrete exempliflcation of
that theory of life than exists today.
The world is crying for the service of
men and women who. dedicating them
selves to the great tasks of the hour
without thought of the temporal re-
turns to be gained for themselves in
the great adventure, will blaze the
way to the realization of our dreams
of better things. The service of those
who-lofty Of stature, clear of vision,
firm Of will. big of heart-will devote
their talents and their lives to the
splendid task of bettering the lot of
their fellows cannot be substituted for.
Such service ever has been, is today,
and ever will be essential to the world
as it presses forward under their
leadership.
Service above self, Those who will
truly build their lives about that prin-
ciple have every field Of human ac-
tivity calling to them.. They are need
ed in every business, every profession
known to man. From the mother dedi-
eating herself to guiding her children
along the paths which shall lead to
strong and useful maturity to the
statesman shaping the national and
international policies of a nation, we
cannot ask for more-we cannot ac-
cept less. For with it as the basis
upon which they build, the work Of
their hands and hearts will endure.
Without it. the structure will fall.
