Washington and Lower Maryland.

Upper Marlboro, Nd, will today be
the scene of great celebration, mark
ing the beginning Of construction Of
the $1,000,000 Baltimore-Southern
Maryland or Robert Grain highway.
There are to be parades and addresses,
symbolic exercises and general jollif1-
cation. Hundreds of Washingtonians
will be on hand to join with the citi-
gems of Anne Arundel, Prince Georges,
Charles, st. Marys and Calvert coun-
Hes in their rejoicing.
It is fitting that this should be so.
For Washington is bound to these five
counties Of the state, which is in a
way the mother Of the National Capt.
ta1, by strong bonds. Blood relation
ship, friendship. mutually Of many
interests form those bonds.
The fundamental basis for the cele-
oration will properly be the linking of
the five counties Of lower Maryland
with the great city Of Baltimore. Yet
that link may never be forged without
simultaneously making stronger the
bonds between those same counties
and Washington. which lies along the
way. And the National Capital would
have the citizens Of Maryland know
that, while hundreds of our citizens
will join in person in celebrating that
glad fact, thousands Of US will join
with them in spirit.

The Solemnity of Humor.

English science is agitating itself
over the extraordinary case Of . boy
OF fourteen who has never laughed
because, as he says. he has never seen
anything to laugh at.
1t may be that this strange child
has precociously learned the lesson of
the solemnity Of humor: that every
thing really amusing has its large
percentage Of tragedy. It. however.
remains for him to master the coTol-
larry which the French epigrammist
insisted upon when he wrote, II laugh
because 1t Is more dignified to laugh
than to weep" If science has set its
heart upon upsetting the gravity Of
this patient, 1t should look for some
means Of training him to the civilized
laughter which replaces the first care.
less exuberance OF pointless gaiety.
Many plans. earnest and facetious,
have been suggested. but perhaps the
best one is that the boy be brought to
this country. A lecture tour could
certainly be arranged for him. During
his visit he might be directed in his
study to some Of our most hilariously
amusing Northumberland per-
haps, and Mr.. Ford and the divorce
courts. We should prove irresistible.
Hope. however. must go no further.
1t is too much to expect that an Eng
lish visitor would overlearn the quite
easy lesson Of laughing at himself

The Ford Boom.

The democrats Of Michigan were
right in refusing at their state conven,
ton yesterday to indorse Henry Ford
for President. The reason given was
that such action would be premature,
and too far in advance Of the election y
They might have gone further and
asked for Mr.. Ford's credentials as a
democrat. Not all democrats are per
suaded that he is a member and speaks

Woodrow Wilson is credited with
turning Mr.. Ford's attention to poll.
tics. The two men had met and taken
a fancy" to each other, and, as the
story goes, Mr.. Wilson suggested to
Mr.. Ford that he try for the Senate,
and Mr.. Ford adopted the suggestion
When interrogated as to his course
in case of election, Mr.. Ford replied
that he would support the policies OF
Mr.. Wilson, who was then President
This was interpreted to mean that Mr.
Ford was simply a Wilson man. and
in Office would look to Mr.. Wilson for
guidance in all matters Of political mo-
ment.
Not all the members Of the Senate
holding commissions as democrats had
taken or were holding that position
Some were differing sharply with Mr.
Wilson, and voicing and voting their
own opinions.
Mr.. Ford's hat is in the ring, and il
it stays there his democracy may be
closely scrutinized. His strength at
homo rests upon his personal popu
larity and his extraordinary success
as a man Of business. But as an as
pirant for the democratic nomination
for President he will have to stack up
against men with long party records
and be able to read his title clear to
inclusion in such company.

seems to have become at this time the
monopolist Of candidates for the presi-
dency. Observe:
In the republican party Mr.. Harding
has the inside, the outside and all

In the democratic party are three

Casualties and Carelessness.

Last Wednesday four children were
hit by automobiles in this city. A
girl, aged thirteen, was struck while
crossing the street; one leg was broken
and she was badly bruised. A boy,
aged thirteen, was slightly hurt by a
motor, also while crossing the street.
A boy, aged seven. was hit while
coasting in a park and his leg was
broken. A boy, aged ten, was killed
by an automobile while running on an
errand for his mother. That was just
one days record Of street casualties.
In only one Of these four cases was
the child playing in the street. The
boy who was coasting in the park may
be so classed. The other children were
all hit while going about their ways.
probably as carefully as any child.
Probably the drivers OF all the ma
chimes consider that they were care.
full too. But there stands the record,
four children hit. with one dead. and it
is a record that motorists should take
into account as a warning against
driving through the streets Of the city
in way to imperil the lives Of the
youngsters.
The Thirteen Club has just recon-.
mended to the Commissioners the rop-
ing off Of unfreQuented streets in DIFF.
ferent parts of the city as skating
rinks for the children during certain
hours. The purpose is to provide
safety zones where the youngsters
can engage in the pleasurable pastime
Of roller skating without danger. If
something Of this sort Is not done the
roller.skating children will soon be
swarmirg in the streets and accidents
will occur in even greater numbers
than at present.
OF course. the streets are not play
grounds, properly speaking, and yet
they will always remain the play
grounds Of many thousands Of chill
dren for whom no other spaces are
provided. It is impossible to assure
security for the little folks unless the
drivers are careful.

The Near East Issue.

A marked stiffening of thes British
attitude in the near eastern situation
is reported from London, whence also
comes word Of a pronounced feeling
Of public pessimism and an outburst
Of criticism of the government. No
explanation is afforded Of the apparent.
ly greater determination Of the British
ministry to hold the positions now oc-
cupied in the neutral zones east Of the
straits. 1t is noteworthy, however,
that in one dispatch appears the state
ment that France is to be given the
choice at once of standing by the
British or of definitely aligning her
self with Turkey. which incidentally
means with Russia. 1t Is intimated
that London has some sort of an as
surance that the French government
will be forced by French public feel
ing to take the British side in this
crisis.
Kemal Pasha has definitely demand.
ed immediate cession Of CONSTANT.
nople and all Of eastern and western
Thrace, as the condition Of accepting
the allied note just presented by Bouil-
lon, the French envoy. He also de-
mands that the British withdraw at
once from all positions in the neutral
zone before the Turks will be removed
from the area Of dispute.
Truly the situation is preposterous.
The allies propose that the Turks are to
have Thrace, and Greece is now ad.
vancing to defend that region. Great
Britain holds position on the eastern
side of the straits which, while pre-
carious. is still a block to the advance
of Turkish troops across the Oar.
danelles to enter Thrace for the custer
of the Greeks. Kemal insists upon
withdrawal of these forces, and hints
that he will then withdraw his own.
But how will Greece be forced to sur.
render Thrace? Must the allies go to
war with Greece? Or must they let the
Turks cross the straits and renew the
fighting. this time in Europe? Thus
war would seem to be in prospect,
however the case may develop, unless
Greece abandons the Thracian cam
paign and England withdraws entirely
from the neutral zone. The Turks are
evidently not in a mood to compro.
mise. and the clouds of conflict grow
darker.

MARYLAND and Virginia.
All Other States,
Running a Double Gauntlet.


The declarations of leaders in House
hnd Senate in constituting the pro-
visions of the Districts new fiscal or
kanic act, coupled with repeal Of the
law limiting the amount of the Com
rnissioners' estimates. show clearly
that the spirit and intent of the fiscal
legislation of 1922 was to remove all
obstacles to the presentation to Con-
sress by the Commissioners in their
estimates of the legitimate needs of
the capital in complete fullness, and
to give to the Commissioners enlarged
power, prestige and legislative con-
eideration in respect to estimates, ap-
propriations and tax-rate fixing.
This alleged increase of considera-
Zion for the Commissioners, benefiting
the District, was partial Offset to the
raise Ct the Districts percentage of
contribution toward National Capital
maintenance from so to 60 per cent, to
the increase Of standard Of realty as
eessment from two-thirds to full valu-
elton, to the transfer wholly or in part
of certain municipal funds from the
category Of local revenue to that of
national revenue, and to the require
ment that the District should be put
upon a cash basis by 1927.
But the District does not, in fact.
enjoy this intended benefit. The Presi-
/ dent by CHASING the District municipal
appropriation with national depart

arbitrary percentage system OF cut.
ting down, as if it were a government
department, tends to defeat the pur-
pose of the law Of 1922 and to make
a mockery of the nominal increase OF
the power of the Commissioners.
The Commissioners estimates, in.
stead Of being freed from mandatory
limitation as to amount, are more re.
stricted than ever, and are compelled
to run a double gauntlet, the cuttings
and slashings Of the budget bureau
being added to those Of Congress.
Either the President should direct
that discrimination be made by the
budget bureau between the capitals
municipal appropriations and those for
the nation: or Congress should treat
the estimates that come from the Com
missioners through the budget bureau
as genuine budget. suggesting wise
apportionment Of adequate appropria
tions among the most urgent Of mu
nicipal needs and not habitually and
almost automatically cut two or three
millions from the Commissioners esti
mates; or the budget bureau, whatever
general recommendations cutting total
figures Of estimates and appropriations
1t may make, should forward the Com.
missioners' thirty millions estimates
to Congress for thoughtful and un.
obstructed consideration by that body,
with each item there treated on its
merits.
The Commissioners ought not to be
forced, at the hearings before the ap
preparations committees, to champion
Inadequate estimates, which they have
not made, in form after mutilation
by the budget bureau which they can
neither explain nor defend.

Gov. Miller.

Gov. Miller's success in politics has
been extraordinary. In one term as
the head Of affairs at Albany he has
made himself an outstanding national
figure. He has given the greatest Of
the states a thoroughly businesslike
Of time drawn as much attention to
himself and received as much praise
as either Grover Cleveland or Charles
e. Hughes did in the same office.
What Of the future? Is he likely to
go higher? Shall we see him advance,
as Mr.. Cleveland did. and as Mr..
Hughes almost did, from governorship
to presidency? Is he destined to find
his way to the White House?
There is much speculation along this
line. Gov. Miller Is only flfty-six.
strongly set up physically, and in
robust health. An allowance of twenty
years more of public service seems
reasonable. 1t is suggested that 1928
should show him still in form and
capable OF big things.
There is nothing in the governors 8
attitude or performances indicating
that he himself is figuring in this way
or in any way on the future. He
seems to be serene on that point-to
be leaving the future to take care Of
itself. AS he has not been shaping his
course in office with view to renom-
ination, he Is not likely to shape his
course during a second term with a
view Of securing promotion.
1t is the best way. He serves him
self as we'll az his party best who
