Goldman Going to England.

When Emma Goldman became con-
wearily moved out of Russia, which
had received her with enthusiasm on
her deportation from the United
States, she sought refuge in Berlin.
There she found some congenial spir-
its. but, as a rule, the German radi-
calls were too busy with their own
affairs to be much interested in the
woes of Emma, and she has lived, it
is reported, rather a lonesome life
there. The government has not been
particularly pleased with her pres
ence. and on d number of occasions
hints have been given to her to the
effect that her absence would be
greatly appreciated. But the Berlin
authorities have never gone quite to
the point Of ordering her out of the
country. 1t would, perhaps, not be
polite to do so. Still, Emma has been
given quite definitely to understand
that she was outstaying her welcome,
and consequently she has not been
enjoying herself in Germany any
more than she did in Russia. Now
she is planning to go to London. She
has a number of friends there and
some relatives.
Under the new treaty regulations
for the admittance Of nationals of
both Russia and England into the two
countries Goldman can enter England.
So she is soon to move back along the
westward track. She has told her
London friends that she expects to
make her home with her relatives
until she has found the right place
for her services" Now London is
wondering just what she means by
that. Is she planning to occupy Il soap
box in Hyde Park, or mount the ped
estal of one of the lions Of the Nelson
statue in Trafalgar Square and preach
anarchism. which is her theme? The
London police are tolerant of the
.spielers" in those places, and usually
let them talk unstintedly. Emma is a
good talker. She makes a red-hot
speech, full of interesting matter. She
could easily hold an audience in one
of London's great gathering places.
But the Labor government, if it
should be in office when Emma gets
there and starts speaking, if she
speaks, may not care for such a dem
onstration. The Russian treaties are
rather sore spot just at present in
English politics. There are reports
now that Macdonald will soon quit
office and appeal to the country on
the issue of the negotiation of these
treaties. Emma Goldman might be a
serious factor of disadvantage if in
the midst of such d campaign she
We're to hold forth in the open even
in denunciation of sovietism, which
she regards as the foe of anarchism.

Farewell, Mars.

Mars still glows in the night sky,
but he is now only one star among
the millions, or one planet among
Mars as much as a few days ago. Not
everybody is more or less an astron-
omer today. So far us can be gathered
Mars sent no message to the earth.
If he sent one it passed over our
heads or under our feet. If it landed
on the earth we do not know it. Per.
haps when Mars comes again to his
nearest position to the earth, which
may be 100 or 200 years from now, we
may have better appliances for com.
municating with him or he may have

and at this place the planet Mars has
been ecilpsed by a sphere covered
with horsehide. New York was an i'm
portant part of the earth for four
games last week, but New York was
not so important as Washington. Not

the world are on Washington. Mars?
Why, Mars, we have almost forgot
thee. Our eyes are turned to some.
thing brighter than thee. and not so

of cat. She said: 1T is the cry of
a lost cat, a kitten. Stop To stop

was no chance to turn. The car made

the cat had been heard, and a woman n

"a ferguson was a good man. and

Further, the St. Paul Dispatch
holds. the party has chosen a woman
candidate for governor in a campaign
IN which her own qualifications to
hold office were a question of least
Importance" and cit is impossible to
regard the result as victory for
any one but Mr.. Ferguson" For, the
Brooklyn Daily Eagle contends, "all
the passions aroused were based
either on resentment of the wrong
done to Gov. Ferguson, impeached as
Walton was impeached by Klan in
f1uence. or on opposition to the Klan
as such" The Washington c. H.
Herald regards the nomination as
the entry of the squaw man into
politics through the primary election
door" believing he will WELD the
reins of government and considers his
"Vindication through the election of
his wife not q very valiant manner
of fighting, according to accepted
Standards
On the other hand this much is
sure. the Syracuse Herald insists,
"the nomination is a staggering blow
to the ku klux Klan." And the
defeat of "the klan's attempt to
annex the Texas governorship will
hearten the fighters against at
tempted klan dictation and domina-
tion in other States" the New Orleans
believes. Perhaps
one of the telling factors in Mrs.
Ferguson's victory, the Arkansas
Democrat suggests. lay in the value
of a slogan" by which her initials,
NJ. A. were coined into Ma and the
slogan Me for Ma became the bat
tie cry which appealed to the emo
tions of the voters
The question who will be gov
ernor-Mr. or Mrs. Ferguson" is also
discussed. Mrs. Ferguson. the New
York Times reminds us, expects as
she says to be guided by the counsel
of her experienced husband in the
administra tion of fiscal affairs, in the
reduction of taxes and in the man
agement of the penitentiary, but she
intends to be guided by her own
judgment in matters affecting edu-
cation and social affairs and par
ticularly the affairs of the home"

Save the Capitals
Streets and Trees
To the Editor OF The Star:

To the Editor OF The Star:
Keep on doing your utmost to save
Washington's fine old trees and con-
serve it's beauty effects. so that gen.
erations yet unborn shall bless you
when they read Your Fifty Years
Ago in The Star" and learn that
you raised your voice in defense of
these grand old emblems.
Let those who desire to sacrifice the
beauty of Washington betake them
selves to Pittsburgh for time, or
some other equally unprepossessing
town, until they can appreciate good
landscape art
How silly for any one to believe
that planting trees now on the site
of those destroyed will atone for the
present ruthless mutilation, when 1t
has taken fifty years to grow some
of these trees to their present size.
The picturesque effect of lower
Thirteenth street is ruined for years
to come, 1t is now nothing but a
blare. bleak prospect.
What we should do is to enchance,
not to demolish, the beautiful effects
for which Mai L'Enfant laid so splen-
did a foundation.
The lines of the young poet who
gave his life in the World War are
we'll worth remembering:
Poems are made by fools like me;
Only God can make a tree.
Washington streets are amply VIDE.
1t is sense less to run the uSgernaut
of the craze for speed 4 al human
convenience over everything that is
worth while in life Putting the
question of beauty aside. the right
of the pedestrian. the one does not
own a car. should not be wholly OBJ
scured. He has his claim to the
trees. g.
Washington belongs to this whole
country! Let the voice of the people
who are here from all the States in
the Union be heard in the city!
Give those who write you q chance

oS the vast Los Angeles district in the
House of RepreSe Sentatives, returned to
Washington this week from a Summer
In Europe. Capt Fredericks-his title
dates from the Spanish h-American war
tried the dangerous experiment of abb
senting himself from his constituency
during bitter primary fight for re-
nomination. He was opposed by a can
didate. who raised the issue Of Fred
ericks' failure to support the Swing
Johnson $200.000000 Colorado River
reclamation project in which Los
Angeles is interested. But the City OF
the Angels gave Fredericks a hand
some vote OF confidence. News Of his
denomination reached the congress-
man in midocean on August 2S.
Congress is going to be asked one of
these days to look thoroughly into the
question OF the upkeep Of the American
military cemeteries in France. They are
not exactly In rundown condition,
but Americans who have seen them this
Summer find them immensely less at
tractive than the beautiful cemeteries
in which Great Britain's 100000 dead
are buried. Although there are 1000
or 1000 Of these British graveyards,
each and every one of them is main
tained az carefully as the Arlington Ma
tloHal Cemetery, across the Potomac
from Washington. We have only a few
military cemeteries in France, and per-
ha2s not more than 10000 graves to
look after.
