The Ground Hog.
The ground hog wakens in his lair
And stirs himself anew.
Prepared to give accustomed care
To February Two
We've watched his ways since early
youth
And tried his mood to guess.
He doesn't always tell the truth.
But cheers us none the less.
That men are children larger grown
We've often heard it said,
And simple pastimes are our own
Despite life's doubt and dread
Though all relentless grows the game
And fierce the worlds unrest.
Well find occasion. just the same.

Gilbert NJ. Hitchcock.

An American citizen of the very
best type went to his rest early this
morning when Gilbert M. Hitchcock
former Senator from Nebraska, died
at his Washington home. The doubt
ful gift of superlative celebrity never
was his lot; showmanship was not
among his talents. but it is of indi-
viduals of his caliber that the ele-
mental foundations of a great Nation
have been built. He was innately,
fundamentally, essentially American
In him were mixed in the proper
proportions the sanity and the ideal
ism. the caution and the liberalism
which are necessary in the character
Of a good representative of the people
of the Republic. He could act and
speak for the masses because he was
Of them, and his mind and heart
reflected their worthiest aspirations.
Appropriately enough. he had the
advantage of excellent training for
his work in the upper branch of the
National Legislature. His father had
preceded him in the Senate. and he
himself had served two terms in the
House. Thus he could claim to be
adequately prepared for his major
task, the craftsmanship of the For
sign Relations Committee during the
second administration of President
Wilson. No more difficult assignment

into direct connection with the rail-
road lines to the east and the Post
Once to the south. It Is further pro-
posed to clear away the structures on
the triangular space south Of the pres
ent main building and to transform
this area into . park.
This project deserves prompt con-
sderation and decision. With all the
additions that have been made the
printing establishment is congested
and its work is impeded. There Is q
heavier demand upon it now than
ever before, the new deal" activities
OF the Government adding greatly to
the burden resting upon it.
1t Is hardly conceivable that there
will be another blockade in respect
to the choice Of site like that which
set back the necessary work of ex-
pansion forty years ago. The selec-
tion of sites for Government struc-
lures Is more expeditions than In the
days when the so-called Malone lot
figured conspicuously in the news of
the efforts to expand the great print

sistently done now than then. Utility
and harmony rather than the influ-
ence of individuals are first consid-
cred, and the expectation that large
addition to the establishment that is
already the greatest printing establish
ment in the world will soon be eff.
fected is justified. When that work

Suburban Boomerang.

From the Des Moines Tribune
Immediately after the war many an
American city experienced a suburban
boom.
The average family was receiving
relatively good wages-good enough to
get out of the congested areas in the
heart of the city. and yet requiring an
inexpensive plot.
This encouraged the appearance of
neighborhood units far beyond the
populated area, on the fringe of the
city limits, leaving a ring Of relatively
vacant land in between.
This boom. as Prof. Van Cleef of
Ohio State University points out in
the American City Magazine, has now
turned into a boomerang.
For the city was called upon to ex-
tend water, gas, electric light, paved
streets, street lighting. fire protection.
sewers, and so on. through the holes
in the city pattern" to the new neigh
borhood communities.
The whole urban population has
since been forced to pay not only the
original costs on this construction,
which for great distances was unpro-
iuCtive, but also IN many instances
continuing interest on bonds issued
for the extensions
In a city such as Des Moines, where
literally hundreds of acres within the
corporate limits are only sparsely in
habited, if at all. this fundamentally
extravagant concept as Prof Van
Cleef calls It, is especially noticeable.
Indeed. it is only year or so since
the municipal waterworks, for exam
pie, adopted a determined policy
against the extension Of water service
into areas that could not guarantee
revenue sufficient to amortize the
necessary bonds.
There have been, of course, ec0nom-
ically justifiable suburban develop
ments. But on the whole they were
artificial.
The mass of citizens has now
learned that it is entirely warranted
in refusing to jeopardize its welfare
by endowing every mushroom neigh
borhood In the outskirts Of the city
with every conceivable municipal
~ervice.
