BI PHILANDER JOHNSON
Drawing the Line

BE kind to animals we're told.
1t is precept fine.
Yet animals may grow 80 bold
You have to draw the line.
All cruelty we'd fain forsake.
Returning good for evil
But how. for instance. could you make
A pet Of bob weevil?
Be kind to animals 'Tis wisc
And yet we know of some.
The less they get to be in size.
The meaner they become.
They feel a natural urge intense
To make their own lives sweeter:
But who while in his proper sense
Gets chunmy with a skeeter?

Should the Statues of
Paris Be Labeled i?
To the Editor of The Star:

10 the Editor of The Star:
There is an interesting lot Of fus-
sing going on in Paris just now that
should give us present and past
citizens of Washington food for
thought.
In the council, the meetings of
learned societies and in the press Of
more fully label it's statues or not.
And 1T all was brought about by the
foolish and other queries made by
visitors to Paris upon whom varying
Impressions were made by the as
varying allegories represented. It's
quite difficult for many people to
make out, for instance. why a great
poet should be shown in modern tall
coat and all with an angel holding
his top hat over him Ia crown of
myrtle that unfortunately looks like
the inside Of haD and two nude
damsels squatted wraptly gazing at
his coattails.
The debate is to label or not to
label, but the consensus of opinion is
that further labelling is silly. A
statues first function is to COM
memorate some one or something, next
it must be beautiful and decorative
an embellishment to it's surroundings,
and last, but not least, it should tell
it's own story without maps and dia-
grams. Furthermore, the wise ones
aver, If a statue does not fulfill all
three Of these functions it merely clut-
ters the atmosphere and should go.
And, by jinks. the people in Paris
who are averring this are strong
enough and interested enough to
actually see to it that several dozen
grotesque and useless statues are put
into limbo.
We might prayerfully add the old
time exhortation, ''Washington pa
pers please copy for assuredly If
any city suffers from an oversupply
of perfectly silly and hideous statues,
chiefly men on horseback, planted at
random here and there. 1t is poor old
Washington. r. W. FITZPATRICK

Branch and a part Of the Patterson
tract will be taken over for use Of
the people for all time. Purchase Of
civil war fort sites. which have not
been built on or where the property
has not become costly, is on the pro-
gram, and there Is strong sentiment
toward improving the railroad ap-
proaches to the city.
That part of the plan for improving
Washington will surely call for time,
patience and money, for Washington
is shabby and unlovely along parts
of the railroads leading from the sub
urbs to Union station. Another plan
is to take over Analostan Island. The
island is a natural part Of the river
park system of Washington, and with
completion of Columbia Island will be
easy of access. There are a great
many things to do, and the park and
commission, with Wash
ington sentiment behind it, will pro-
ceed deliberately and systematically
to make Washington a better city, and
if possible to make it the best city.

Differs on Hessians.
Reader Takes Issue With Letter
on Troops.

To the Editor of The Star
/ noticed in a recent issue of The
Star a letter referring to the Hessian
troops in the American revolution.
should be greatly obliged to your
correspondent for reference to the
authorities for his statements, since
they differ markedly from those that
I have encountered in a somewhat ex-
tended survey Of the SUBJECT The
correspondence and the treaties them
selves, and the numerous diaries and
memoirs of members of these expedi-
tions. point to conclusions other than
those of your correspondent.
First, as to the raising of the troops
themselves Some of the men were
probably impressed for impressment
was a common method of recruiting
at that time in all countries; out it
seems to have been resorted to in this
case less than usual. The service ap-
pears to have been popular and volun-
teerS numerous.
Second. as to the morality or tho
transaction on the part of the Land
grave and the other petty German
soyereigns The idea of sending ones
own troops abroad as mercenaries i9
shocking now, but 1t was not then.
This expedition carried the custom to
femporarles were shocked by it. Be-
sides, German and English troops had
been fighting side by side all over
Europe for a century: Hessian troops
formed a very considerable part of
Marlboroughs armies; and it may be
noted that the King of England was
still a German prince.
1t is perfectly true, as your corre-
spondent says, that many OF the men
remained in America and became good
citizens. 1t is equally true. although
generally overlooked. that those who
returned home took with them the
military ideas picked up here, and
used them in reshaping the German
armies. just as the French officers
used them in forming the tactics Of
the French revolution. To mention
only one, familiar to all. Gueisenau
served as Lieutenant In America. and
applied what he learned here when
working with Scharnhorst in his re.
forms of the Prussian army.

The Faith of Young America.


Have faith in young America! The
spirit of true citizenship prevails in
the youth of the land. Last nights
demonstration at the finals of the ma
tional oratorical contest, held in this
Eity. amply proves that respect for
and understanding of the fundamental
law OF the United States prevails
throughout the millions Of the younger
citizens of the country
To those hundreds who We're pres
ent in the crowded hall and to that
great multitude who listened to the
broadcast proceedings of this conclud-
ing competition it was distinctly evil
dent that the younger generation is
sound in appreciation of and regard
for the Constitution. In the presence
Of the President of the United States
seven young students delivered their
orations, six Of them upon the general
theme of the Constitution and one
upon the part played by Alexander
Hamilton i'll the framing and adoption
OF the instrument. They displayed a
depth Of understanding that manifests
the thoroughness with which they,
and doubtless all those from whom
they won their honors in the grand
divisions of the country, have during
the recent months Of preparation and
elimination studied the fundamental
law.
Understanding is the firmest basis
for respect. The seven finalists in the
competition rendered analyses of the
Constitution which displayed a keen
appreciation of the value of the instru-
ment. Their presentations were in the
highest degree creditable to their in
telligent grasp of it's extraordinary
value. And it is to be borne in mind
that these seven orations have in the
course Of the competition been de-
livered in the hearing of an immense
number Of people. An estimate of the
audiences assembled in the course of
the various stages of the contest places
that number at approximately twelve
millions.
Last evening the chairman OF the
meeting, the president of the Ameri-
can Bar Association, stressed the need
today of sound citizenship. He said
that the schools of America must save
the country from the danger of de.
structive radicalism. At the conclu-
sion of the program he amended his
words. He said that in the light of
the demonstration just given he was
convinced that the schools of America
will save the country from this danger.
The President of the United States
contributed to the program last night
an address which served effectively to
pitch the key. Radicalism must be
fought, and it can best be fought by
the youth of the country. Certainly
the showing of these seven young
finalists in a countrywide competition
is an assurance of soundness of un-
derstanding and Of faith in and re-
spect for the great law which forms
the foundation of American institu-
tions.

West and south have been "dis-
franchised" for sixty years, as far
as the presidency and vice presidency
are concerned. Neither great party
has elevated to those offices since
| 1855 a man from farther west than
Illinois or from below Mason and
| Dixon's line. That is why insistent
voices will be raised at both Cleve-
land and New York for a squarer
| geographical deal than the trans
| mississippi country and Dixie are ac-
| customed to receive. Since the
foundation of the republic New York
and Ohio have had six Presidents
| each; Virginia, five; Massachusetts,
and Tennessee, three each; Illinois,
| two, and Louisiana, New Hampshire,
Pennsylvania, Indiana and New Jer-
sey, one President apiece. New York
has had most Vice Presidents-ten:
Massachusetts and Indiana have had
TOUR each; Virginia and Kentucky,
sylvania, Alabama, Maine, Tennes-
see. Illinois and New Jersey. one each.
New England has not had a presi-
dent since Franklin Pierce Of New
Hampshire, 1853-1S57). and MaSsa-
| chusetts has not been in the White
QS25-1S29). Andrew Johnson of Ten
nessee. was the last presidential
southerner IS65-1S6O.
It's something of myth that to be
| through ticket to political oblivion.
| Nine Of our Vice Presidents became
Presidents, either through succession
after death of the President, or sub
| seauently by election. They in
cluded John Adams, Thomas Jefferson,
Martin Van Buren,, John Tyler, MIL
| lard Fillmore, Andrew Johnson,
Chester A. Arthur, Theodore Roose-
Welt and Calvin Coolidge. Nine out
of thirty-not quite one out OF three
of our chief magistrates thus have
| managed to escape the tinx OF OBJ
scurity which is said to lurk In the
| vice presidency. That's q sporting
| chance that ought to beguile the
| coyest of politicians.
Fred w. Upham goes. but Roy O..
West comes; and thus the Republican
l. rational committee changes bring
| into juxtaposition names Of two west
ern men who grew UP together In
politics. Upham, native OF Wiscon-
sin and factor in G. o. P. affairs for
thirty five years, found himself in
| Chicago municipal politics in the
early nineties with West. who had
come up from the Illinois prair les.
| Upham was an alderman and West
was city attorney-both clean, ag-
gressive young reformers. When the
new Illinois tax law came into force
i in 1899 they we're elected members
of the Cook County board of review,
| with Upham chairman. Then rip
ened a friendship that has lasted till
| this day. When Damon Upham
stepped out from the G. o. z. treas
urership the other day 1t Is certain
he recommended that Pythias West
! be made secretary.
Secretary Hughes. who hopes to go
| to Europe with the American Bar
Association in July. is afraid he isn't
| going TO be able this time to indulge
in his hobby-mountain climbing in
! the Alps. Before he became a ma
/ tional figure Hughes annual vacation
was spent almost invariably in Swift
