THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL.

"Peeping Toms" are not esteemed
members of society, yet there is meth
cd in their madness.
a famous college professor once
told his class that the way TO look at
a garden was not TO gaze over the
fence, but to stoop down and look
through crack in the wall
Such confinement of the vision
seems to augment the beauties, much
as a landscape takes on a different as
pect from being reflected in a small
mirror.
Who has not, as a child. spent fas-
cinated minutes peering into a pocket
looking glass" about the size of a
silver dollar?
Recall how old, familiar scenes took
on new appearances; how the back
yard became, for the nonce, an almost
unfamiliar place; how the garbage
can, there by the gate, cleaned like
sterling silver, how the barn became
fairy palace, how honest old Tige.
scratching tieas, seemed a monster
from some imagiSt'S s dream
Such was the work of the mirror:
and today each one of us can get the
same results in the daily walks of
life If we will let our imaginations
take the place of the physical bit of
glass and quicksilver and keep our
eyes open.
Glimpses into gardens, as one rides
to and from work, give one wonder
full views. such as the professor pre-
ferred. Instead of kneeling down to
look through hole in the wall we get
the same result by the rapidity of our
motion
No sooner do we catch sight of the
gardens, to the rear of homes. than we
are Whlsked away. so that our total
impression amounts TO no more than

There is a small bridge in northwest
Washington, crossed daily by thou
sands of people.
Yet how few have ever seen a small
garden nesting TO the west Of the
last house in the row.
The garden is on the vacant lot next
door. The term vacant lot" is a mis-
nomer now, however, for the ground
is far from vacant
Those living in the house have
transformed the lot into a fairyland
of flowers, close hedged by various
towering bushes and leafy plants, so
that perhaps it is no especial wonder
that most passers-by fail TO note it.
The most fascinating glimpses of
flowers and graveled paths are to be
caught by those able to see
Right here it may be said that the
ability to see is not altogether a mat

more to it than that,

The La Toilette Candidacy

Robert NJ. La Toilette, jr., has cast
his hat in the ring. He will make the
race for the senatorial seat held for
so many years by his father The
announcement from Madison was ex-
pected. The friends of the senior
La Toilette doubtless will rally to
the support of the son.
The indications are that La Fol-
lette will be elected Senator; that the
La Toilette organization is so strong
ly intrenched that the so-called
"stalwart" Republicans will be un-
able to prevent his nomination on the
Republican ticket and his subsequent
election.
The Republican organization in
Wisconsin has been strongly con-
trolled by the La Toilette people. In
deed, young Bob" La Toilette has
been and is chairman of the Repub-
hcan State central committee. A La
Toilette follower was the last mem
mittee from Wisconsin. He resigned
during the campaign of 1924 to sup
port the La Follette-W Wheeler inde-
pendent Progressive ticket and there
by effectually checked the substitu-
tion of a stalwart or regular Repub-
lican as a national committeeman
from Wisconsin. In Wisconsin, when
such a vacancy in the national COM
mfttee occurs voluntarily, the State
central committee names the Repub-
lican national committeeman. The
committee was and continues TO be
strongly La Toilette.
Young Bob" took prominent
part in the Progressive campaign
last year. 1t was expected that. had
he lived, Senator La Toilette would
cast in his lot with the new liberal
party, which it is planned to organ
ize nationally. The Senator had cut
himself off from the regular Repub-
lican organization and his dream
was of party which would unite all
the liberals of the country and bring
about a new alignment between the
progresSives and the conservatives.
The son acted as his fathers lieu
tenant and official observer at the
meeting in Chicago last Winter, when
it was determined to go ahead with
a new party organization.
On the brink of his own entry into
national politics, Mr.. La Toilette
must decide whether he is to run as
a Republican or as a progressive on
an independent ticket. The formal
statement of his candidacy, which he
has promised, doubtless will clear up
this question. 1t is expected, too,
that he will seek the Republican
nomination. In the first place, the
new liberal party has not yet been
organized, and the committee which
is to make all plans for organization
so far has done nothing but an
nounce that the movement will go
forward. 1t is still nebulous. In the
second place, the Republican organ
ization in Wisconsin is the La Fol-
lette organization. 1t is thing apart
from the Republican national organ
ization, and has been for some time.
Republican" is merely the title by
which the organization is known.
From the practical political stand
point, La Toilette must seek the Re
publican nomination if for no other
reason.
After his election young La Fol-
lette, If successful, will face the
crucial test both of his own leader
ship in the State and of the progress
sive Republican organization which
was built up by his father. If he
fails of election, the La Toilette
machine may be regarded as a thing
of the past.

Bryan's Monument.
To the Rdi1or Of The starr

To the Editor Of The Starr
Something has been said of great
monument to Bryan at Arlington.
Let the monument be one of moderate
cost and simple design. in keeping
with the Commoner's own life and
character, impressive as they were
from their sublime simplicity. But let
a memorial to Bryan the patriot, the
Christian, the opponent of war and
bloodshed-a pioneer in this regard, as
in others-be erected by purely volun-
tary subscriptions from his myriad
disciples and admirers; some suitable
peace foundation-say at Washington
the general plan and salient details
to be decided on after conference
among those closest to him in personal
and idealistic sympathy while he was
yet in the flesh.

Department of Commerce and by Con
gress. Makers of sets are working to
give receivers closer adjustments, so
that they will be able to tune out a
station not wanted. though it's wave
length is very close to that of the
station desired. Perhaps with adjust
ment refined to the highest degree the
air will not seem to be so cluttered.
There are other things to be con-
sidered. The breaking in of code from
commercial and Government wireless
stations and interference by certain
types of receiving sets will be taken
under consideration.
Static and distortion in long distance
receiving remain the serious handi-
caps of radio, and the experiments
by the General Electric station at
Schenectady in broadcasting on so
kilowatts are being watched with in
terest. On the nights that WGY
broadcast at midnight on super
power the static was unusually an
noying. On tube sets in and around
Washington the superpower matter
came in with great strength but
there have been differing reports from
listeners. Some reported that the
superpower broadcasting overcame
static, and others reported that the
reception. though very strong, was
still confused with air noise. Radio
engineers know their problems and
are at work. and it is fair predic-
tion that they will overcome static,
that very thin differences in wave
lengths will be taken care of by re-
ceiving sets, that unnecessary inter
ference will be provided against and
that airways between sending stations
and receiving sets will be kept clear.

united with the Christian Union

She came with her husband to this

the ranch adjoining town which she
still possessed at her death. As hardy

occaioned in new country and
fought on until their hopes Of a home
were realized.
