Blossom Time.

Weather permitting, washington
will next Sunday present to the world.
as far as it may come here for the
occasion, a display that is not to be
euualed anywhere else in America.
This is the annual display of cherry
blossoms around the Tidal Basin in
Potomac Park. Ofhcial announcement
has been made to this effect, based
upon the present condition OF the
buds, which are already beginning to
show a faint trace of color. Unless
there is a premature burst of warmth
or a belated touch of Winter, by the
end of this week the trees around the
basin will be in nearly full glory,
with the maximum of the display in
the northerly group two or three days
later. A letter received at The Star
Office today from resident OF New
Jersey asks for information about
the blossoms, an index of the interest
that is felt on the part of multi
tude of people who have never before
seen the trees in bloom, but wish to
do so this year, or who, having seen
them before, want to repeat that ex-
perience. Indeed it is fitting time
to visit the Capital, for it presents a
most attractive aspect when these
Jewels of nature are in view.

tion-the Revolution was not q ris-
ing Of the populace.
But In the fields Of art and science
the eternal principle Of personality
versus mass mediocrity is even more
strikingly illustrated. Blind Homer
was permitted to starve, Pericles was
deprived of his command and pun
ished with a fine, Phidias was i'm
prisoned, Socrates was legally mur-
dered, Plato was sold as a slave,
Demosthenes was driven to self-de-
struction-all because of the stolid
degradation of the Greek race whose
glory later ages-not their own
esteemed them to be.
And what explanation save that OF
rare personal genius can be found for
Michelangelo and Raphael, Dante and
Shakespeare, Beethoven and Wagner,
Calico and Newton, Darwin and Hulk
ley. Goethe and Carlyle, Emerson and
Whitman, Fulton and Morse, Edison
and Marconi? Which of the achieve
ments of these masters Of fate can
be attributed to democracy? What
help had Columbus from the people OF
Spain? What recognition had Spinoza
from the multitudes? What reward
had Simon Bolivar from the millions
he set free?
DR.. Merriam, of course may be cor
rect in his belief in the justice OF the
appropriation Of the few by the many.
But socialism, even in the form OF
national planning, surely contains
within itself a hideous contradiction
the doctrine whereby the individual, to
whom society owes so much, is pun
ished for his variation from the COM
mon average of his contemporaries.
And that difficulty cannot be laughed
away. 1t is basic, and eventually 1t
will have to be faced.

entered it to uncover the intrigue on
behalf of France.
The moral in all this strange med
lev Of circumstances is that espionage
seems to be accepted in Old World
affairs as a natural and normal ac-
companiment of international rela-
tions and to be practiced on the
theory that what is sauce for the
goose is sauce for the gander. In the
language of the old saw, "every-
body's doing it." The result is that
there is probably no vital military
secret" anywhere that some power
genuinely anxious to know about 1t
does not ultimately learn; and doubt
less governments, general STATS and
intelligence services habitually balm
what serves them as conSciences on
these occasions with the reflection
that the other fellow is zealously
engaged in the same stealthy activ-
tiles as they themselves. AS long as
the peril of war hangs over hapless
humanity, espionage is destined to
flourish and remain lucrative occu-
patton for those who care to incur its
incalculable risks, including the Su-
preme danger Of a firing squad or, as
in Hitler's Reich, the headsman's ak

Natural Alcohol i'm Body
An Immaterial Quantity

To the Editor Of The Star:
The value of blood tests by police
surgeons in determining intoxication
Of those suspected Of driving while
under the influence of alcohol is dis
counted by Mr.. Edward Wolesensty
in The Evening Star of March ~. Mr..
Wolesensty says that alcohol is al
ways present in the blood and tissues,
that, in fact, there are several times
fifteen one hundredths Of per cent OF
alcohol concentration in the blood, a
concentration which the "drys" al
lege indicates an intoxicated condi-
ton.
know of no truly scientific opinion
anywhere in the world which supports
this gentleman's assertion. 1t is the
general opinion of medical men that
two-tenths Of l per cent Of alcohol in
the blood is almost invariably at
tended by clumsy and boisterous be-
havior, while three-tenths of per
cent of alcohol concentration causes
serious drunkenness. I cite Alcohol
and Man" by Haven Emerson.
The following quotation Is from
What About Alcohol" by Dr. Emil
Bogen and L. W. s. Hisey: 1T is
sometimes said that alcohol Is formed
naturally in the body. The amount
which is claimed to be found, how
ever, is so very small that it amounts
to less than one drop Of alcohol in the
entire body and it cannot be found by
most tests for alcohol. Such traces
cannot be compared with the amount
of alcohol present as result Of drink
ing alcoholic liquors"

The man who says for us what we

hero, Is he not?
1t is true the world over, and you
see it everywhere.
Men rise to leadership by daring TO
express their honest convictions.
Each such hero makes all and sun
dry aware how prevalent the opposite
is, the Grass bowling Of the knee. the
timidity, the fraidy-c -cstness Of modern
adults.
Universal education has done its
work only too well.
Supposed to make man thinker,
education's chief fruit has been spine
lessness, masked under the holy name
Of tolerance.
Men under civilization no longer
dare to call their souls their own.
First they must apologize to you
for claiming soul.
Or they do little probing to find
out whether you think you have one.
Ask them what they think OF Huey

he is q clown" or "mountebank:"
But don't mistake that for down.
right opinion. 1t is merely the popu-
lar and orthodox belief in their circle,
and they think you share 1t.
The truth seems to be that Sena-
tor Long Is a mighty smart man.
Huey is an optimist.
He feels sure that the country will
come out all right in the Long run.

The longer a man lives the surer
he is to feel that expression of opin-

Opinions that are not truly Of for
and by ones self, are not worth the
holding.
Their expression is juvenile stun
and every one Of us can remember
standing until long after midnight
on the court house square arguing
what was called socialism.
The result made no difference. the
performance was only trial flight,
testing Of the ability to roll words
one after the other.
Such are the debates 50 popular in
schoL' days.
Adolescents barely out Of short
trousers argue about the most tre-
mendous questions, settle affairs OF
state. national and international.
While the audience of more or less
biased persons listens to these young
people give the pro and con of 1t.
every one present would swear that
no more could be said.
What may be said in addition Is
simply what always Is said when
human beings come to hold genuine
opinions Of their own at last.
Then they seek expression for
themselves, not for the opinions.
All too many Of us, alas, never
reach that state.

mouthpiece Of the company.
He does what the company says.
Trafiic managers decide that the
vehicle must not let OF passengers

carry them around the corner, about
half a block down the street.
Instead of drawing up to the curb,

order to make the short left turn.
The passenger who might get of at
once. and be saved crossing any street,
must cross two entire streets in order
to get back to where he might have
been placed.

The final cooperation is all right;

What is wrong Is not protesting the

Everybody ought to protest what

How silly.
If everybody was not so leaning

differences are the spice Of life, and
that every one OF us may learn a
great deal that way.
There need be no heat, anger, ire,
or choler, just because another states
a belief with which we do not agree.
It Is possible for men to converse
together, and state fair, honest opin-
ions. without going into a rage Just
because they do not agree.

Of offending others.

What can 1t be but fear?
It is such q nasty, corroding emo
ton.
There Is some point to fear, when it
is motivated by the glands OF internal

mate safety.
This fear Of offending some one
or other, this perpetual feeling out"
the mind Of another, in order to agree
with most or all OF what he says. is
not the same sort Of thing at all.
1t Is a craven reflection Of the real
thing. the true animal fear which
makes the hair stand on end.
1t is not good. from any standpoint,

Why is humanity today so afraid

The Program.

President Roosevelt, before leaving
here yesterday on his vacation. out
lined to the Democratic leader Of the
Senate his ideas of legislation that
must be passed before the present
session of Congress ends. Five meas
ures, four of which at least are
extremely controversial, are pre-
sented as essential" There are still
other measures which the President
would like to see enacted, but which
may be allowed to go over until next
Winter if the Congress cannot get
time to pass them now. The five bills
on the program for immediate passage
are the economic security bill, the
bill to regulate utility holding COM
panies, the bill to reorganize the Fed
eral Reserve banking system, the bill
to extend the N. r. A. for another
two years and the bill to increase the
capital of the Home Owners Loan
Corporation by s1,75o,Ooo,ooo. The
work relief bill, which is expected
soon to 60 to conference, is apparently
regarded as an accomplished act.
The essential program Of legislation
advanced by the President, although it
omits the ship subsidy bill, the bill
imposing regulations upon war profits,
amendments to the A. A. A., the Mead
air mail bill, not to mention the
Wagner labor relations bill, contains
plenty of controversial matters to keep
the Congress busy for some time to
come. And in addition to the ad-
ministration's program Congress is
likely to give attention to some mea-
sures of its own, among them the SOL
diers' bonus bill, the Black 30-hour
work week bill and the bill for the re-
peal of the pink slip publicity clause
of the income tax law.
When the work relief bill, the first
big measure of the Presidents pro-
gram, becomes law Congress will
have been in session for three months.
The stubbornness with which that
measure was resisted in the Senate
indicates rather clearly that Congress
has lost its appetite for grants OF
power to the Chief Executive. There
is no longer that eagerness to swallow
bills served up to it hot off the New
Deal griddle. The economic security
bill, instead of being rushed through
the House Ways and Means Commit
tee and to the House, has been taken
apart and rewritten. 1t has yet to
reach the House. The bill extending
the N. r. A. is going through a long
process before it can reach the Sen
ate. a process involving an investiga-
ton of the operation of the whole sys-
tenn by the Senate Finance Commit
tee. The banking bill, its critics say,
makes for political control Of all
money and credit and business. An
army of opponents has arisen to at
tack the bill for the regulation-and
possible elimination-of utility hold
ing companies.
This legislative program put for
ward by the President is Of tremen-
dous Importance to the whole Ameri-
can people. 1t is quite proper that
Congress should give ample time and
consideration to each of these meas
ures. nl-considered, hurried legisla-
ton can do incalculable harm, and
repentance would be too late.

A. A. A., Foreign Competition
Blamed for Break i'm Cotton

"the relatively small quantity Of cot
ton that is being sold brings a price
of around IL cents per pound, and the
panicky conditions among the buyers
and sellers of cotton futures contracts
have not spread to the ranks Of the
growers"
"A sudden sharpening Of concern
over the consequences of foreign com
petition is one of the reasons assigned
for the break which has now sent
prices we'll below II cents a pound"
states the New York Times Other
explanations given are the decline of
the English pound and the circula-
tion Of rllmorS (Soon denied that the
Government intended either to in
crease the amount of cotton grown
this year or to revise the basis Of its
loans" Of these explanations the
former seems most important to the
New York Herald Tribune, which
holds that ION one point of great
Importance to the country the experts
appear to be in full accord-that the
artificial raising of prices in this
country is placing a premium on the
production of cotton in other coun-
tries
With this conclusion the st. Joseph
News, the New London Day, the Syra-
cuse Herald and the Indianapolis
News agree. while the Portland (Me.)
Press Herald calls attention to the
fact that Russia will in 1885 produce
three times as much cotton as she
did before the World War and thst
India, Brazil and Egypt have gone
into the cotton raising business with
remarkable success"
In this connection the Charleston
IS. c. Evening Post reports that
American capitalists and technicians
in the cotton industry are concen-
trating in force in Brazil to develop
cotton growing and manufacturing in
this new field, which has grown
rapidly as a rival to the Southern
States since the rigorous restrictions
of the Bankhead law have almost
destroyed the world market for Ameri-
can cotton"

MARYLAND and Virginia,
Another Inquiry Needed.


II the House committee or anybody
else can show that policeman warned
q gambling establishment of an i'm
pending raid, and can name the
policeman, the police force should be
rid of a worthless officer in short
order.
In the face of denials and contra
dictory, cloudy testimony, there is
doubt whether such guilt can be
pinned on anybody. But it is eratify-
ing to note that Maj. Brown, superin-
tendent Of police, and the Commis
sioners are not waiting for any such
revelations from the committee and
have proceeded to their own investi-
CATION into what seems to be re-
markable state of affairs in the fifth
precinct.
According to the testimony, a raid
was conducted against suspected
gambling establishment on February
20. The raid was unsuccessful, be-
cause no evidence of gambling was
found. But about month later
the committee investigating police af-
fairs is informed that there was sus-
picion of a rip-off at the time of
the raid, and the captain of the pre-
cinct tells the committee that if there
was a tip-off it must have come
from the precinct detective because
he, the captain, and the precinct de-
tective were the only ones who knew
about the planned raid. 1t also de-
velops that the precinct captain had
been informed by citizen, and had
transmitted such stories to his men,
that policemen in the fifth precinct
were suspected of taking graft.
Why was such information permitted
10 remain uninvestigated? Why did it
require the Investigations by special
committee of the House to reveal these
stories? Why did the precinct captain
not himself move, Immediately and
with the backing of his superiors in
the department. to sift these rumors
thoroughly and thereby remove all
taint of suspicion from everybody con-
cerned? Can there be any morale, or
police discipline, or effective law en-
forcement in a precinct where the
captain admits that there is suspicion
of a leak, and of worse? A police in
spector admits he had heard rumors
about the Fifth precinct. His reason
for not taking immediate action is
that he did not want to interfere with
the House committees own investi-
cation.
Who is running the Metropolitan
Police Department? Is it the special
committee of the House, individual
members of the House, or the consti-
tuted officials of the Police Depart
ment?
Regardless of the ability of the
House committee to reveal facts relat-
ing to guilt or guilty knowledge,
enough has been shown to demon
strate the need of an immediate and
thorough inquiry by the Commission
ers and police officers into conditions
in the fifth precinct.
