for short time. and who highly en-.
Joy the rare plants and trees. Owing
to the uncertainty Of tenure In the
Mall space there has been little de-
velopment of the equipment, and the
marvel is thar the garden has been
maintained on so high a plane under
these handicaps.
Now that the joint committee on Ii
brary has by the resolution, just adept
ed gained jurisdiction over the reserva-
tions. it should proceed to. secure from
the two houses appropriations for the
early equipment Of the garden and the
treatment of this space as a botanical
park. There is no conflict between
this plan and that for the establish
ment of an arboretum at Mount Ham
i,ton. 1t is to be hoped that the latter
will be pressed to early conclusion.

Mexico and Foreign Capital.
From Mexico City,

From Mexico City,:
In an address last night to a group
of American and European business
men who were visiting him At Cha
declared that Mexico welcomed with
open arms all foreign capital and was
disposed to give all guarantees SO
long. as foreigners acted within the
law. -" .r.% r~'. -
There is probably nothing clearer
than that if Mexico is to go forward at
this, difficult and disturbed time, not
only In her affairs but in world af-
fairs, it must be with the aid of for
eign capital, and such capital in very
large sums. She needs it acutely in
her business; and it is = not lying
around loose. to be picked up by any
passerby. -
IT. is likewise clear, and a reason
able proposition, that foreign capital
invested in Mexico should obey the
laws of the land. cannot hope to
make its own laws as it goes along.
But it is also clear; and a reason
able proposition, that the laws; of
Mexico should be fair to all capital.
Otherwise. capital, which in Mexico
and Observation-Disclosures, indeed
is extremely sensitive, cannot perform
the services expected of it and which
i. is dcsirous of performing. z
On this point Mexico could well af.
ford to listen to suggestions, offered
respectfully and in a friendly spirit.
Those offered by Secretary Hughes are
so conceived. and have no other OBJ
ject than the promotion of Mexico's
welfare. Had they been examined in.
little broader spirit than President
obregon brought to bear on them their
value would have been promptly re-
vea!ed, apd their acceptance have
wrought many benefits all around.
And they are still open to acceptance.

A Quorum and the Tariff.

Complaining of empty seats, and
citing the fact that the republicans
have q majority of twenty-four in the
chamber, Mr., Harrison OF Mississippi
asked in the Senate yesterday: "ls it
not their business to keep majority
here so as to transact business?'
Is it? In the. circumstances should
mot the democrats be as faithful in
their attendance as the republicans
Should not the seats on both sides of
the chamber be filled while the; meas
ure now in hand remains under dis
cussion@ :.e..sas: - = .7..:. ~
That measure is the tariff. With re-
spect to it the republicans hold that
it is essential to revival Of business;
that until business knows. and has ex-
j. will continue uncertain as to it's
course. Should not this contention in
fluence every republican senator to
assist in every way toward: an early
disposition of the measure? 1t is long
overdue. --~e..
. The democrats take the other view.
They hold, that the measure lis a
menace to business: that its enactment
into law will inJufe business, and in
that way injures the country. Should
they not, therefore, follow every step
Of its progress through the Senate
closely, and give attention to what
ever is said ana done by it's friends in
its behalf? They will make their, con.
test for control of the next House 'on
it. and should know it and everything
relating to it by heart when they: take
the stump. 49,, -.
Empty seats are reproach to both
pafties, and they should cooperate to
put an end to the reproach: Roll calls
for developing a quorum take time,
and in q way waste time, and time
should not be wasted. - -

sArbntus.

Pending before the Massachusetts
legislature is q bill for, the protection
of the. mayfower. and it is reported
that the prospects Of that bill becom:
ing a law. are excellent. 1t provides
fines and other forms Of punishment
for those persons who gather may
flowers, remove or destroy the ,plahts
or offer the, flowers for sale on the
streets or In shops: Years ago Massa-
chusetts voted the, MAJ yflower its state
flower. and the need of protecting 1t
has been forced upon the better public
opinion by the rate at which the plant
is being destroyed by those numerous
flower lovers" who take pleasure in
plucking. breaking and uprooting wild
blooming things. ~
The, Massachusetts mayfaower is
our trailing arbutus. In New England
it is also called by that name,> though
more popularity spoken of as the may
fiower,"' yet the name ''mayfiower" is
also given to a number OF other small
flowers which bloom in May in New
England. = L.,
Arbutus is having hard shedding
with us. and unless it is given protec-
ton it will soon be extinct. Once very
common on our wooded and stony hill
sides, it has become quite rare. and
generally grows only in remote places
that are not easy Of access. There it
is hunted by those who sell it in the
streets. II -arbutus is to be saved in
this neighborhood it must be given
some such protection as that provided
in the bill before the Massachusetts,
legislature. < ... -

The New Botanic Garden.

Action by the House yesterday on a
Senate resolution insures- transfer to
the jurisdiction OF the library, commit.
tee OF Congress, for use in connection
with the Botanic Garden, of a large
tract of government land lying south
OF the Capitol. This closes a long con.
troversy over the development and
maintenance Of a. midcity public gar
den. For some years past discussion
has been continued over the treatment
OF the Botanic Garden. Many have
urged its abandonment from the
present site in order to clear the way
for memorials projected for the Mall
and the formal treatment of that
space. Some. have pressed for its in
corporation in the proposed arboretum
at Mount Hamilton, in the northeast
portion Of the District. Others have
contended for its maintenance in the
present situation, with enlargement Of
space. The plan finally agreed upon
is in the nature Of q compromise. It
keeps the garden within the city,, in
close proximity to, the Capitol, and it
affords space for expansion and for a
much more adequate equipment and
landscape treatment than has ever be-
fore been possible. 3f
Under this plan the. Botanic Garden
may be made into one Of the most at
trsetise Of all the government insti-
tutto1s in. wsshinsten. It IL already.
