May Day.

Since the human race was young
folk Of the northern cline have ex-
pressed joy in revels on May day.
Children of Washington are celebrat-
ing the day with grace and mirth re-
calling the very olden time. They
are dancing about May poles, and the
brows of many children are garlanded
with flowers. They will hang sheafs
Of blossoms on the White House
door. and in the Fairgrounds are ex-
erciseS commemorative Of the day.
Many fairies, elfins, sprites and other
members Of the mystic brood of dear
and charming little creatures have
reused from winter rest and are play
ing pranks in the woods and fields
and sky. No doubt they fit and carry
on. their merry games in park and
garden OF the town, as well as dis
tant dell where big trees and tiny
flowers grow. Most of us cannot see
thems because grown-ups have not
such keen eyes for fairies as little
children have. Our eyes get DINNER

Of their tribe half so quickly as can
a tot with f1axen curls or sable ring
let's. 1t is one of the gifts of youth
to know fairies and count them
friends.
The Romans named this month for
a goddess Of growth and increase, and
no doubt they borrowed her from the
Greeks, to whom, perhaps, she came
from a people more remote. Cen
turies have passed since May began
violets to bloom, yet she is still beau
tiful and young and comes to us as
fair and dainty as to the peoples of
long ago. Far back in the days Of
northern Europe our forebears went
into the woods on this day and
brought out Towering branches. They
also brought a pole, set it up and
danced about it. 1t became an insti-
tuition in England. Perhaps as young
people romped about it they pressed
each others hands, and perhaps kiss
was taken, or given. When sterner
morals swelled the breasts of many
English the May pole fell. Puritans
spotted it as device of the devil.
John Stubbs. a pious scribe, wrote in
1888 that the May pole was a
"stinckyng idol' round which people
"leape and daunce." In Restoration
days the May pole came back and
people leaped and danced about it.
Children are doing this in Washing
ton today and paying their devoir
to gentle, blooming May.

Betrayals of Trust.

A tragic scene was enacted yes
when Warren It. McCray, who had
just vacated office as governor OF the
state, received a sentence of ten
years imprisonment, with 4 fine Of
$4,000, for committing frauds and
misusing public funds. 1t is shock
ing to see a man thus fall in a high
position of honor and trust in conse-
Quence of his moral laxity. 1t is es-
executive Of state thus guilty Of
corruption.
But the conviction of Gov. McCray
brings definitely to mind the fact
that few men in American public
life are recreant to their trusts. The
standard of morality on the part Of
those chosen by the people for their
guidance and administration is high.
This case is a singular exception. 1t
therefore becomes the more conspic-
uous.
This country is blessed with free
dom from what is called crookedness
in Office. Within recent months much
has been heard about corruption and
betrayal of trust. A stranger to the
country surveying the scene lately
might conclude that these betrayals
Of public confidence are typical On
the contrary, they are rarely excep-
honal. The intensity Of public re-
sentiment and anger against them is
in itself a proof, if proof were needed,
that this is true; that men who take
office, save in the rarest instances,
are scrupulously faithful.

SHOOTING STARS.

Wildness Of the wilderness

Wildness of the Wilderness.
sA lodge in some vast wilderness
Is what the poet sighed for.
It disappoints him more or less,
The lodge that he applied for.
Although to rural haunts he's gone
To foil the gossip vandal,
His folks now turn the radio on
And still he gets the scandal.
Though he shuts OF with cunning care
The source Of information,
He knows the circumambient air
Is full Of sound vibration.
It's useless, any poet knows,
Of calm content to prattle. -.
He might as well get down to prose
And mingle in the battle.

To the Editor Of The Star:
Your editorial in last Sundays issue
on development of the Capital" was
very much to the point. No one ap-
preciates its truth more than the
writer, who is much interested in the
suburban development of Washing
ton, having invested his earnings
there. 1t is quite true that in the
present extension Of the city little or
no attention is being paid to parking
interests, and the eastern portion OF
the District of Columbia has hereto.

Congress No influential interests
were at work In its behalf, as else
where. and one would think, to SEQ
what has not been done there, that no
one lived in that section who was
worthy of consideration at the hands
Of the government, and dollars have
been spent there while millions were
poured out in other sections for
street extension, etc.
And yet that section of the District
looking toward Baltimore and Chesa-
peake Bay is bound to grow in i'm
portance. A parking system to e1
tend from Baltimore to Washington
has been advocated and worked fo1
by prominent people in the MARYLAND
metropolis for some years, and yet
nothing has been done to meet them

tract on which it is located. a Wash

offered to sell the land to the gov

tension of the street system would

Republican leaders at the national
convention in Cleveland are likely to
have a chance to show whether
they're superstitious or not. The best
estimate is that the conventions busi-
ness will be finished just in time to
adjourn on Friday, June IS. The
thirteen" jinx has as many devotees
among politicians as among lesser
mortals. They may consider it an
ominous thing to end the Coolidge
love feast on Lake Erie on such a day
and date. The tentative time card
for the G. o. p. conclave calls for
temporary organization on Tuesday,
June 10; permanent organization on
Wednesday, June IL; adoption of
platform and nomination OF Calvin
Coolidge for President on Thursday,
June IL, and nomination OF Vice
President and adjournment on Friday
June 13. Jointly to soothe the su-
perstitious and the Clevelanders, the
agony may be prolonged until noon
of Saturday, June IA.
Herbert Hoover has a new right
hand man, and a plutocratic one, be-
sides. He is a newspaper man, sud
denly turned government official
Harold Phelps Stokes. Until recently
Stokes was Washington correspond
ent of the New York Evening Post
as well as one of its stockholders.
Stokes had a splendid active-service
record in France during the world
war as an officer in PerShing's army.
He succeeds, as Hoover'S assistant,
Christian a Herter, who has ac-
quired part ownership and become
tint editor of the independent at
Boston. Mr.. Stokes has long ranked
as Washingtons one millionaire"
working newspaper man. When not
grinding out Informative political
dispatches he managed his apartment
houses and other lucrative invest
ments. For many years an admirer
of Hoover and Hoover methods,
Stokes will contribute real affection,
as we'll as exceptional ability, to the
post he is about to occupy.
President Coolidge has been enter
tanning at the White House a Cali
fornian who does not see red (or

He is Alfred Holman, editor of the
San Francisco Argonaut. Holman's
position on exclusion is tersely stat
ed-the end which Congress seeks is
right, but the wav in which 1t is

manners. He recommends to nerV-
