Monarchy for Greece.

With the reported resignation of
President Alexander Zaimis, the long
simmering Royalist movement in Greece
has apparently reached a triumphant
climax. The republic, after a fevered
existence of ten years, is on the verge
of collapse. On its ruins the monarchy
is about to rise again, with restoration
of former King George II to the throne
from which he was ignominiously BAN
ished in 1929 on the eve of the nations
decision by plebiscite to set up a repub-
lican government in its stead.
Present-hour events we're precipitated
by -militarist pressure long
exerted and which President Zaimis and
Premier Tsaldaris finally found it i'm
possible to resist. The measure of the
premier'S conversion" to the RoyaliSt
cause was conveyed in a public state
ment in which he declared that he con-
siders democratic royalty as the natural
regime for Greece" and then called
upon the people to vote for it in a ma
tional referendum. With Tsaldaris
bowing TO the inevitable, Gen. Kondylis,
the spearhead of the monarchist cam
paign, predicts that George will be re-
established on his ancestral throne "by
q crushing majority"
Unless the army and the Royalists,

flushed with victory. set up some form
of dictatorship, Greece now seems headed
for a constitutional monarchy and that
form of government which prevails in
Western European democracies with
Parliaments as checks on the royal
authority. From his various points OF
exile in Great Britain and elsewhere IN
Europe George has repeatedly ssid that
he would return to Athens as King only
in response to the popular will expressed
through an honest vote.
Following the complete failure OF the
short-lived Venezelist rebellion last April,
the eventual victory of the Greek Royal
lists became only matter OF time. The
government promised that as soon as
conditions became sufficiently calm it
was prepared to hold referendum on
restoration Of the monarchy. The
grand old man of the HelleneS, Scenting
the doom of the republic, for the crea-
ton of which he was SO pre-eminently
responsible, had essayed one last her.
culean effort to save it and restore his once
omnipotent political authority, but the
army and navy revolt, which Venizelos
inStigated, was promptly suppressed, and
the patriot whom Woodrow Wilson at
Paris described as "the greatest states
man in Europe" was driven from his
native Crete into humiliating baniSh-
ment in France. From that vantage
point he is now condemned to survey
the final wreck of his plans and dreams
as his people prepare to revert to
royalty.
Since the World War thrones have
been consistently at discount, except
those which dictators bestride. The rule
has been for monachies to give way to
republics. BY resumption of "the King
business" Greece has set new fashion.

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL.

Fall planting, SO widely advocated, has
one thing against it-one simply is not
in the gardening mood.
Perhaps the average amateur horti-
culturist is not enough of an enthusiast,
after all, to stand the strain too many
months at stretch
There is no doubt that the heat Of
Summer willis more than collars.
BY the time Autumn is here a great
deal of the zest of the gardening year
has evaporated.
The gardening year, the outdoor gar
dening year, is over.
Hence it is but natural for many to
feel that they are done with the sport,
occupation, avocation, what you will,
until Spring.
This is a natural thought. and. all in
all, good one.
The great American fault is over
doing. AS a nation, we run everything
into the ground with the exception OF
the automobile, which we generally run
into the telephone pole.
Gardening, as practised by the city or
suburban gardener, is protected by great
Nature herself from the national vice.
Annual enthusiasm seems to run out
with the annual flowers.
The basic love remains, but an honest
desire has come for rest for freedom
from garden thought, even.
Let it be so.
Yet for him or her who simply will not
give over, in a gardening sense. a great
deal remains that may be done from
now on.
Those who are in the business OF SELL
ing plant materials urge Fall planting.
partly for a selfish reason of their own
that it keeps them busy at time which
would otherwise be dull.
Also. in urging Autumn garden work.
they no doubt are right, which is more
to the point of the average gardener.
Granting that one overcomes the nat
ural urge for inertia, which comes to
many after the garden Summer. there Is
much work that can and some that must
be done before Christmas.
Narcissus and iris, for instance, are
best planted during September.
Tulips and many other Spring flower
ing bulbs go into the ground best in
October. or even November, SO long as
it is before severe frost.
September is an ideal time for setting
out peonies. In putting the roots into
the ground, remember that too-deep
planting is the greatest single reason for
peonieS failing to bloom.
Shallow planting, not more than 2
inches deep is best for peonies.
Iris rhiZomes should be planted shall
low, likewise.
A Nationwide movement toward Fall
planting of roses goes ahead unchecked.
They should not be put into the
ground until dormant, however, which
means not until October or November.
Many persons especially dislike moving
roses at this time of year. They seem
to feel that a great deal of the pleasure
goes out of rose growing so.
Surely there is something in their
attitude.
Who that has planted his first rose
bushes in some lovely Spring, unwrap-
ping the plants, putting them into the
still-cold soil, watching the first leaves
unfold, tending them as if they were
fragile. will ever admit that Fall plant
ing can give like thrill?
The great wait between planting in
Fall and the first blooms in June is

Capital should be protected against
misuse by professional advocates of
alien concepts of government. And
they are so safeguarded by act Of Con-
gresS. For that reason, II for no other,
the rider" was unnecessary, and Mr..
Prettyman in his report reminded the
board of the efficiency Of the existing
statute. The objective most to be de-
sired is the sane and sensible philosophy
of untrammeled instruction. An arbi-
trary prohibition against all mention
of Communism and it's doctrines would
but serve to defeat the ends which the
sponsors of the rider" appear to have
had in mind 1t undoubtedly would
prompt curiosity, stimulate inquiry,
among the pupils of the schools. Thus
it would provide an opportunity for prop
aganda clandestinely circulated from
outside.
A word might be added for the youth
of the city. Those who know the boys
and girls Of Washington best have faith
in them. They are not so gullible as
some faint-hearted skeptics might sup
pose. On the contrary, they are just
about as level-headed as their elders.
Communism has no appeal to them.
They believe in private property, de-
mocracy and orderly progress and have
no patience with common ownership.
class dictatorship and revolutionary
methods. Mr.. Prettyman does not say
that he has consulted any of the young
sters but it may be that he did. If so,
he can be confident that they will be
able to take care Of themselves in the
event of any attempt to deliver them
over to Lenin and TrotSky, to Mussolini
and Hitler. Nor are the teachers them
selves the fanatic radicals that some
would have. us believe.

almost too much for the rose enthusi-
asst, at least of the amateur variety.
He will admit that the all-planted
bushes get great start in the Spring.
but he believes that Spring-planted ones
soon overcome the handicap.
At any rate, he prefers Spring for
rose planting, and who can blame him?
r
Newcomers to the home garden game,
of whom there are several thousands
every year in every great city, some Of
them in Autumn, must particularly keep
IN mind the fact that If they would
have tulips in their yard next Spring
they must plant the bulbs now.
AS late as October, or even November,
will do for the planting of the tulip,
narcissus, grape hyacinth, crocus. hya-
cinth, and all the other bright flowers
called Dutch bulbs" but beloved the
world around.
Planting depths for all of these are
easily learned and should be adhered
to in all cases. Bulbs of the tiny grape
hyacinth will throw up leaves if planted
now. and those already in the ground
from last season will do the same. They
are making new bulbs for next year.
Tulip breeding, long an art, has been
rejuvenated in recent years. Many new
sorts are coming on the market and
many older types temporarily are in
eclipse.
One should be careful, in ordering
tulips. to know exactly what one is
getting. Careful check should be kept
on colors, SO that if bulbs ordered and
planted this Fall do not bloom true next
Spring one may buy from a different
tulip house next time. There is nothing
In gardening more disappointing than
getting tulips which do not bloom as
one anticipated.
In case we do not have a severe Fall,
and hard freezes do not come until later
in December. that month may be util-
lied in putting tulip bulbs into the
ground. 1t is not the best month, by
any means. but it will do, in a pinch, if
the ground is workable.

Experts advise the planting of wild
flowers, evergreens, many lilies and grass
in the Autumn, as well as the horticul-
tural materials already named.
Lawn making at this season, for real
success, depends upon these things: An
early start, good seed and fair amount
of warmth. with adequate rains.
Hence the last week in August, and
the first two in September are perhaps
the best for beginning a new lawn. or re-
making an old one, although the excep-
tionally long rains of last week were a
little more than new grass would have
desired.
Care must be taken. in planting Wild
flowers. to get them deep enough. Dog
toothed violets. for instance, ought to
go about inches deep not just / or 2
inches. as one might think from their
size. Failure of much material of this
sort to bloom in the Spring often is
due to too shallow planting, rather
than the reverse.
A few of the lily bulbs are not avail
able until cold weather sets in. These
should be planted as soon as received
from shippers.
AS for evergreens, If planted in the
Fall they should be given a copious
watering at the time of setting out and
the earth kept moist around their roots
and as far down as possible for at least
three weeks. II also is highly impor-
tant, in such cases. to make sure that
they go into the Winter well wetted
down.

Casual Comment.
King Solomon's proverbs I read long ago.
His wit is as sharp as a tooth,
And often, in accents respectful and slow,
I'd whisper, "Well, amt it the truth"
The Greeks and the Romans with many

Have dazzled my studious youth:
With reverence oft on some page would
gaze
And murmur, well, amt 1t the truth!"
At expressions of wisdom we oft get

We quickly forget them, in sooth.

Instructed Delegations ,

Postmaster General James A. Farley.
chairman of the Democratic National
Committee, expects every State and Ter
ritorial delegation to the Democratic
National Convention next year to be
INSTRUCTED" for President Roosevelt. He
does not exclude Louisiana or Georgia.
Had Senator Huey P. Long lived, the
Louisiana delegates would have voted
for Long or for whomever Long des-
ignated. They would not have voted
for Roosevelt-unless Long had reversed
himself. But there remains Georgia,
where Governor Talmadge, as bitter
against the Roosevelt New Deal in his
way as was Huey Long, succeeded In
being reelected last year. Talmadge
has been mentioned as possible leader
of Southern anti-Roosevelt and anti
New Deal sentiment next year.
Chairman Farley, however, has no
fears. He foresees unanimous renom-
ination for President Roosevelt. This
may well happen, although there are
many within the ranks of the Demo-
cratic party who strongly oppose much
of the New Deal. Two factors, in all
probability. will override and prevent any
great opposition to RooSevelt'S renom-
ination-unless it be found in Georgia.
The first is the tremendous Democratic
organization, aided and abetted by q
powerful governmental bureaucracy. The
second is a willingness on the part OF
conservative Democrats to maintain
party regularity for the benefits which
may accrue to themselves. They must
swim with the New Deal or sink with
out it; hang together or hang separately
Mr. Farley has done more than any
other man to build up this NATIONWIDE
Democratic organization that seems
ready to function one hundred per cent
for the President. Farley began this
work of organization when Roosevelt
was Governor of New York. 1t is not
at all strange, therefore, that Mr.. Farley
is to be retained as the generalissimo
paign. On the other hand, his resigna-
ton from his cabinet post to give 1ull
time to running the national campaign
is to be expected. This may take place
at the time, or shortly before, the Demo-
cratic National Committee meets in the
early Winter to select the time ana
place for the party's national convention.
Thus will the proprieties be observed in
separating the cabinet Job and the purely
political job of national chairman. Fur
thermore, the demands of such ardent
nolitical purists as Senator George w.
Norris of Nebraska, one OF the original
Roosevelt men, will have finally been
met when Farley gives up one OF these
two offices.
Report has it that Frank G. Walker
of New York, former treasurer OF the
Democratic National Committee and
now director of the National Emergency
Council, is being groomed to succeed
Mr.. Farley as Postmaster General. MI.
Farley may decide he has had enough
of cabinet life when he steps out Of
ofice. But If President Roosevelt Is re-
elected, there is nothing to prevent his
restoring Mr. Farley to his cabinet as
a reward for his services. In the mean
time, it will be Mr.. Farley's particular
lob to see that the Democratic organi-
zation functions smoothly and that all
delegates to the national convention are
instructed for Roosevelt.

Time for a Showdown.

The fundamental difference OF opln-
ion on work relief between Secretary
Ickes and Harry Hopkins seems to be
this:
Secretary Ickes apparently still be-
lieves there should be something to show
for the expenditure of work-relief money.
besides the fact that so many men were
employed for such-and-such time.
He has insisted that projects financed
through P. w. A. be necessary and
socially desirable. He has made local
communities share in the undertaking
by borrowing part of the cost. He has
carefully audited expenditures. If
healthy proportion of the cost goes into
purchase of materials, even that spreads
employment by increasing work 1or the
material-supply industries.
Mr.. Hopkins, on the other hand, has
made putting men to work his all-em-
bracing objective. He wants to get all
the employables of the relief rolls by
November by putting them on w. P. A.
him fiddle and let him fiddle at
wage not exceeding $700 a year. If a
writer lacks a job, get him type
writer and paper and let him write.
If a man cannot fiddle, write, paint
murals of farmers gathering in the
sheaves, make a survey or dig ditch,
think up some other boondoggling job
and let him boondoggle, without spend
ing too much on materials. Only take
him off the rolls of the F. E. R. A. and
put him on the rolls of the w. P. A. by
November l!
When the President by cost-per-man
limitations tacitly favored boondoggllng
as against what used to be known as
pump-priming Mr.. Hopkins got the
upper hand in the spending Of the work
relief money. He was backed by other
practical-minded and far-seeing gentle
men who realized the political advan-
tages of distributing Uncle Sans bill
lions on the basis of unemployed popu-
lation rather than desirability of perma-
nent Improvements and the willingness
of local communities to shell out part
of the cost He has assumed greater
authority, with presumably adequate
backing, while Mr.. Ickes has been showed
farther and farther into a dark corner.
While Mr.. Ickes and Mr.. Hopkins
vigorously deny the existence of any rift
between them, such denials sound like
nonsense in view of Mr.. 1ckes manifest
resentment over the fact that Mr..
Hopkins has vetoed some 1903 OF
P. w. A. projects and in view of Mr..
Hopkins sly digs at the relatively small
number of men employed on P. w. A.
projects as against those working on w.
P A projects. Mr.. Ickes is to see the
President and he will doubtless ask for
q shoWdown-definite and flnal-on the
question of who is who in work relief.
Certainly it is time for showdown,
not SO much on the relatively unim-
portant matter of authority between Mr..
Hopkins and Mr.. Ickes, but. on where
the Hopkins program is leading. There
are now some 26,648 administrative OFF,
cials on the w. P. A. pay roll alone.
Fifty thousand jobholders are reported
as working on plans to put men to work.
If there is some genius who can show
that such a set-up is not leading merely
to the pouring out of other billions for
the maintenance of another fast-grow-
ing bureaucracy for the creation of work
relief after the current billions of work.
relief funds are spent, he should do it.
