Woodrow Wilson, Historian.
A New Haven. Conn, dispatch sa

New Haven. Conn, dispatch says:
While friends of Woodrow Wilson
were greeting him today in Washing
ton on his siXty-SiXth birthday as q
maker of history. his colleagues OF
the American Historical Association.
in session here. remembered him as i
teacher of history" and elected him
first vice president of the association.
Notice of his election was sent him
with greetings from the historians.
Mr. Wilson has likewise been a
writer of history. and as such holds a
distinguished place among American
historians.
Until recently there was a hope that
Mr.. Wilson would soon publish some
thing on the subject of the war. Amer
ica's part in it, and his direction of
that part. Ray Stannard Bakers book,
though prepared in consultation with
Mr.. Wilson and with all the Wilson
papers at the authors command. did
not satisfy the desire felt. 1t was dis
cursive and too documentary. Besides,
it lacked the charm OF MIR. Wilson s
literary style.
But if. as is generally supposed. Mr..
Wilson is going in for politics again.
and likely to undertake the shaping
of his party's course in 1924 and the
naming of its candidate for President,
he will have his hands full for at least
two years. The historian will have TO
give way for the politician. for poll
tics. like the law, is jealous mistress.
In time. however, Mr.. Wilson ought
to meet this popular wish and eXpecta-
ton. His health is improved. his com
fort provided for. an audience of
world wide proportions is his to COM
mand. and one or more volumes from
hinr on subject of so much general
interest and Importance would meet
with a reception which would be both
remunerative in financial way and
gratifying in a literary way.

ment hereafter.
Considerations Of economy should
not govern altogether in such q mat
ter. 1t is certain that the traffic over
the new bridge will grow. 1t is also
assured that improvements will de-
velop in Georgetown as a result of the
the correction of bad conditions.
Ample space should therefore be af-
forded at the bridge entrance, and the
question of moment now is whether
this can be most economically done at
present or hereafter.
A bridge entrance should be kept
free from congestion with minimum
Of risk to life and limb. 1t should be
possible to clear the bridge Of trafic
at any time by providing an adequate
approach. Inasmuch as the new
bridge will carry a street railway the
problem is to permit its use by the
cars without choking the approach.
Street railway construction is expen.
sive. and while Plan D involves addi-
tional tracks. it may be desirable to
call for them now rather than later.
The new bridge is distinct addi-
tion to Washington in point Of de.
sign and also as d public convenience.

conform in appearance and in degree
of utility with the structure itself.

A Public Building Program

A curnprehensive public building
program has been outlined in the an
nual report of the commission charged
with the matter of providing suitable
anG sufficient accommodations for the
transactions of the government bust
ness. AS beginning the commission
urges the immediate construction of
five buildings in this city. three to be
placed upon the "tive-square site at
the western end of the Mall-Avenue
triangle fronting on the Ellipse south
Of the White House. an archives build
ing upon a site already selected at
12th street and Ohio avenue and an
Office for the controller Of the eur
rency to be placed at 20th and &
streets, on land recently acquired.
Sites for all five of these buildings
are now in possession of the govern
ment, so that there need be no delay
in the matter Of selecting and secur-
ing emplacements. The total cost Of
the program as outlined by the COM
mission is estimated at between $685.
. 600. .O0n a.el $50. 100000. Congress will
doubtless be asked at this session to
make a beginning upon the construc-
tion by appropriating for the initial
costs Of all five of the structures.
The western squares Of the Mall
Avenue triangle have been owned by
the government for a number of years,
having been acquired by condemna-
tion and held under tenancy ever
since. At the time this purchase was
made it was contemplated that three
departmental buildings would be
placed there. But it was discovered
that suitable constructions could not
be had upon the space for three build
ings, and suggestion was made that
one Of them should be located upon
the Mall, to the south. Against this
plan objections were strenuously ad-
yanced. 90 that 1t was dropped Nov

probably did an injustice. 1t was
headed Watchdog Lets Thief Get

left his watchdog on guard and a

A dishonest dog is very rare. Prob
ably there never was a dog faithless

never has been bribed by the brightest

the dog in this case was deceived by
some one who spoke flatterins words
TO him and represented himself to be
a friend of the family. Ii that dog
could be understood he would furnish
the police a more valuable clew than
they usually get. but it is probable
that what the dog has to say about

If it should be proved that this dog
