however, is credited to the Senator
by the Lincoln Star. with the CON
clusion: THE truth is that Oscar
Underwood is out of sympathy with
the disgusting political conditions of
the day." On the other hand, the
Charleston Post makes the sugges-
ton: Perhaps Jeffersonian Democ-
racy is no longer feasible. However,
the point is that Senator Underwood s
political holdings are not those of his
constituency and his retirement is
logical-and regrettable."

Calling attention to the fact that
Senator Underwood is one of the eX-
tremely few Democrats quoted in sup
port of the Dawes plan for revision of
Senate rules, the Butte Post suggests:
1T may be that last years experience
in connection with presidential poll
tics prompted the Alabama Senator to
consider plans for return to private
life He disappointed progressive
Democrats, but he has always been
open and aboveboard, honest and
direct according to the Raleigh
News and Observer. His coming re
tirement probably will not be greatly
regretted by the more progressive
element of the party states the Bris-
tol Herald Courier.
Nothing more discouraging to the
future of the Democratic party in the
South has occurred in recent years
than Senator Underwood's retire
ment," in the judgment Of the Balti-
more Sun. He will retire with the
best wishes of all Democrats who set
any store by faithful and valuable
service to the party and to the
Nation" is the estimate Of the Ashe-
vile Times. 1.-THE Nation needs the
service of Oscar Underwood; never has
it been in sorer need of men OF his
type adds the Oklahoma City Daily
Oklamohan. HE will retire, we i'm
agine, much for the same reasons that

The Parking Problem.

The city attorney Of Chicago has
just ruled in favor Of the legality of
the erection of a 40-story structure
that is planned as a combination Of
office building and parking garage for
automobiles. Twenty-three Of the
forty floors are to be devoted to motor
car space. It Is estimated that it will
afford accommodations for 572 ma
chimes.
This building, If erected, will not in
itself solve Chicago's vexing parking
problem, for there are thousands of
motor cars now in the streets of that
city requiring some space while not
in use. To meet the needs Of the situa-
ton at least fifty such structures are
essential.
Every large city has the same prob
lem Of what to do with the motor cars
that are used for morning and after
noon transportation. Not one in this
country has fully solved it. Some
cities prohibit street parking save for
very brief periods to permit short
visits to stores and office buildings
Some forbid any parking Of machines
whatsoever, save when they are in the
custody of chauffeurs. Others allow
parking within certain prescribed
spaces and for limited periods. Some
make no restrictions whatever. leaving
the streets to be packed with cars,
with greatly reduced traffic spaces.
Washington, with very slight pri-
vate accommodations for parked cars,
is trying to solve the problem by re-
strictions as to space and time. 1t is
not getting very far toward solution,
because Of the fact that the congestion
is the result Of long-continued prac-
tice. Motor car owners have come to
regard the use Of, the street for park.

SHOOTING STARS.
By PHILANDER JOHNSON.
Silly Season.

Silly Season.
1t is now the silly season
When we wander from the ways
That pertained to rhyme or reason
In the cool, contented days.
Soon my ticket I'll be showing
With q sense Of harmless glee.
On my way I shall be going
Down to Dayton, Tenn.
To the organ I shall listen
With its old familiar grind
And perhaps a tear will glisten
AS it brings the past to mind;
But the sadness soon will vanish
From the silly Summer scheme.
Serious business we will Danish.
Monkey business reigns supreme.

Marcus Aurelius says:

In the above paragraphs the Ro

in modern education, the principle OF
allowing the child to work out it's own

He continues with memorable words

He tells us to reverence that which

Make Motorists Respect
White Hating Marks
To the Editor OF The Star:

To the Editor or The Star:
I observed the other afternoon that
the traffic officer at Pennsylvania ave
nue. and Fourteenth street was penaliz-
ing drivers of automobiles who over
ran the white line for the protection
of pedestrians by requiring them to
make q right turn, though they de-
sired to go straight ahead. Would it
not be well for all crossing officers to
do that? 1t appears to be a just
punishment and a sharp reminder.
Impatience is responsible for many of
the accidents, perhaps for most of
them. Drivers of cars just cannot
wait. They must run over the white
line at crossings; they must race to
pass street cars; they must dart in
ahead of approaching street cars, etc.
There is a cure for every one of these
evils. The officer at Pennsylvania
avenue and Fourteenth street appears
to have found a remedy for one of
them. j. p. HORNADAR.

One Of the penalties every city has
to face when 1t grows rapidly in popu-

meeting the requirements of traffic

the old-time self-important policeman
become equally obsolete. A courteous
