Mrs. Strong's Gift.

1t was symbolically appropriate that
Mrs. Henry Alvah Strong's latest gift
to Washington should be announced
at Easter. The residential hall for
girls which she is to erect for the
Young Women's Christian Association
will be an institution of service, and
the annual commemoration of the
resurrection of the Savior of man
kind was a fitting occasion for the
release of news of a presentation
dedicated to that great ideal.
Practically, the establishment which
Mrs. Strong is endowing will meet a
definite need, and her philanthropy
therefore has a tangible pragmatic
significance. But of equal Importance
is the beautiful spirit of her motive.
Thousands of people who never will
cross the threshold, never partake of
the hospitality offered within the
buildings walls, will appreciate the
impulse of fellow-feeling which
prompted the sponsor. Altruism in
recent years has been increasingly
impersonal in character, and it is
good that one generous soul should
wish to reanhrm the basic value Of

The Case of Judge Cobb.

Published news stories some months
ago of the possibility that Judge Cobb
of the Municipal Court would not be
reappointed, and partisan appointee
would be chosen to take his place.
resulted in one of the most unusual
demonstrations in favor of Judge Cobb
that Washington-used to the vicissi-
tudes of politics-had witnessed IN
many a day. Men of both parties,
in and out Of the legal profession,
we're quick to protest that, regardless
of politics or anything else. Judge
Cobb deserved retention in position
that he had filled with ability and
integrity and to the great satisfaction
of the bar and of the bench.
These protests, which were given
added weight by the Endorsements of
Judge Cobb by the Bar Association
of the District, the Barristers' Club,
the Women's Bar Association, the
Portia Club and the Washington Bar
Association, were apparently effective
for the time being. The appointment
this week of a successor to Judge
Cobb has been the occasion not only
for surprise, but Of keen disappoint-
ment, over the fact that local senti-
ment, adequately and vigorously ex-
pressed, has been utterly ignored, and
that politics and politics alone has
had its way.
Judge Cobb has been good Judge.
He has won the respect of this COM
munity. That should entitle him to
a continued opportunity to serve.
The single mark against him is that
he was appointed as a Republican,
though he has never been active in
politics and has never voted in q
presidential election. And that OBJ
lection does not hold water with
those who believe in keeping politics
out of the judiciary and who wish
to see merit recognized.

attend, and the importance Of ade-
quate planning for their accommoda-
ton and entertainment cannot be ex-
aggerated.
The Federal City Is becoming in
creasingly popular as an assembly
point for national business, profess
sional and cultural organizations. It
is natural that such q development
should occur, and it goes without say
ing that it is welcomed. But q definite
obligation is implied in the circunl-
stances. 1t would be grossly unman-
nerly to invite large numbers of visitors
and then fail to provide accommoda-
tions and service for them. Each guest
has right to expect his share Of hos
pitality, and 1t follows that it Is civic
duty on the part of each resident to
recognize his responsibility as host.
Nor can the obligation be avoided.
It happens that the Capital is enter
ing a period of unprecedented expan-
sion. The recovery program Of the
Roosevelt administration connotes a
vast increase in the permanent or
semi-permanent population Of the Dis
trict of Columbia, and the question
Of where these newcomers are to live
is one which will have to be answered.
But it also should be remembered
that the occasional visitor has claims
of his own. He simply cannot be al
lowed to return home in critical
frame of mind. While he is in Wash
ington he must be made as comfort
able and happy as possible. Otherwise
his trip is a failure and his memory
of it unpleasant.
The hotels, restaurants. theaters,
stores, transportation systems, even the
Government itself, should cooperate
in the interest Of the pilgrims. And
the time is now-before the conven-
ton rush begins.

Increase in Price of Silver
Topic of Newspaper Debate

psychological effect Of playing with
white metal. Silver, to the average
American, is almost synonymous with
imitation, and this belief is backed by
a long national experience"
A different point Of view is held by
the Mason City Qowa) Globe Gazette,
because of the fact that "the doses Of
imitation we have had in this country
have not had the reaction usual In
Europe. because the American people
still believe a dollar Is dollar" This
paper also remarks: "Only an eco
nomic philosopher could really tell
whether the American people, In this
matter. are exceedingly dumb or ex-
ceedingly wise One thing Is Ger
tain-we don't scare very easily"
The step taken by the President
will. in the opinion of the Pueblo
(Colorado) Star Journal, stimulate
the production of new silver in every
silver producing State" Nobody dis
agrees with this conclusion, but the
Providence journal observes: 1T has
been demonstrated repeatedly that Just
as imitation feeds on imitation, 50 sill
yer concessions thrive on silver con-
ceSsions. The appetite of the silverites
for governmental action grows more
voracious as each new offering Is cast
before them"

of her benevolences is legion, and in

Critics Of the age, 1t seems, are not
sufficiently aware Of the influence OF

supposed that vast fortunes have been
Systematically anti-social in effect.
Yet the contrary happens to be the
truth. To illustrate the point 1t is
necessary to cite only the contribu-
tions which Mrs. Russell Sage, Mrs.

The Marital Status Law.

While much interesting and intelli-
gent criticism of the so-called marital
status law is being presented in the
course of hearings on the Celler bill
to repeal that law, the greatest weak
ness in the law and the most sus-
ceptible to attack is its departure
from sound, merit system principles.
As an employer. the National Gov
ernment should be interested in one
thing and one thing alone-the selec-
tion of the most capable employees.
And when the Government begins to
inquire into party Affiliations, place
Of residence and whether ones wife
or husband also Is in Government
employ the merit system is weak
ened. As a practical matter. the
marital status law may be applied
to rid the Government of a skilled
and valued employe, while permitting
. less skilled employe to remain. And
until the Federal service is conducted
Is . relief project and Federal en-
ployment is dispensed on the ground
of need of the employe such dis
elimination against married employees
is wastefM of the taxpayers money
and indefensible as an efficient per-
sonnel policy.
Once there is the conception of
Federal service as the opportunity for
q career, but available only to citizens
who IN competitive examination can
demonstrate their right to enter and
to remain in Federal employment,
then the so-called marital status law
will be viewed in its true and ridic-
ulous light and promptly repealed.
Kidding the statute books of this odd
incubus at this time might serve to
hasten that desirable conception.

The Rockville Death Trap.

Responsibility for the grade cross
ing disaster at Rockville, in which
fourteen school children were killed
recently, has been placed upon the
driver OF the bus that was struck
by . speeding train. He has been
held for the grand jury and if in
dicted will be tried for criminal neg
ligence. This action absolves the rail-
road company from blame. 1t ac-
cepts as sufficient under the law as
1t stands the safeguards adopted by
the railroad and serves as warning
to all users of the highway that they
must exercise the fullest degree of
caution and care in approaching and
crossing tracks at grade. 1t does not.
however, make the crossing safe. For
no rules that are merely fortified
by penalties for non on-observance can
possibly make grade crossing safe.
In the course of the hearing which
led to the courts action in holding
the driver to be responsible it was
developed that in the county of his
residence and usual service regula-
ton requires the drivers of all school
buses to halt their vehicles before
crossing railroad tracks at grade, and
% Nf hn h11c n oh
serve the conditions and listen for
warning whistles or bells. The driver
admitted that he had never heard
of the rule and that he had not OBJ
served it at any point on the way
down from Williamsport to College
Park, nor, as the disaster proved, on
the way back to the point of the
accident. Thus 1t is evident that
mere rules are not to be considered
Is safeguards.
There Is only one way to make
grade crossings safe, and that is to
abolish them. For as long as 1t IS
possible for vehicles tc reach the
line Of q railroad there will be lapses
Of memory, faults of operation, haste
and the taking of chances. In this
case the crossing that cost fourteen
lives is marked for early elimination,
in tardy recognition of the peril that
is inescapable at every point where
highway and railroad coincide. Mean
while every possible precaution should
be taken at that point and every
where throughout the State of Mary
land, where numerous such crossings
present constant peril, to lessen the
chances of impetuous, needless driv-
ing leading to tragedy. Positive dan
ger signals and warnings, day and
night. with constant twenty-four hour
watching service, should be required.
The railroads must bear their share
of the cost of safeguarding their own
rights of way against trespass pend
ing the total elimination Of all cross
tngs at grade.

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL.

Spring still inspires, II not to poetry,
then to writing on gardens.
THAT meager assemblage of curl
osities, that poor apology for Nature
and art, which call my front yard. :"
Thoreau said.
1t is fashionable to agree with
Thoreau, but we cannot do 1t in this
case.
The home garden. whether in front
or back yard, is not an apology, In
any sense.
It is Nature, and it may be art.
Only he sees it as an apology" or
imitation who insists on measuring
all things by the wild woods.
~
Even those who hewed out clearings
In the forests, in order to build their
homes, speedily realized that the for
est, as such, was not exactly home.
Something was needed between Ma
ture and man, something which today
we call the garden.
Nature "in the raw" Is not what we
want Immediately surrounding the
home.
Though q house may be built In
entirely natural surroundings, as we
say, still there Is call to create a
lawn, to arrange flowers and shrubs
in the somewhat artificial yet entirely
natural manner.
This clearing may be large or small,
but it is always there.
1t is the buffer between us and the
mysterious forces of Nature.
The soul of man demands it.
* y X
It will never do, then, to speak OF
garden specimens as "meager" OF
"curiosities." for they need not be the
one. and seldom are the other.
Thoreau specialized in forests.
Nothing smaller than Gods first
temples would do for him.
In this he was less than his master,
Emerson, who valued Nature in any
form-and wherever found.
Pioneers placed lilacs in their door
wards, planted few wildings by the
steps. trained some vines over sucn
portico as they had.
y X y
Nature is everywhere.
A small bush is as much Nature. ir
one sense. as the greatest forest.
A flower is flower. wherever found
It is because this is true, that al
of us respond to the first caresses Of
Springtime.
| Fortunately We do not have to &c
to the woods to realize that some
thing has happened to the air, the
earth, the water.
All around us, changes are taking
place, as surely as in the depths o.
| the grandeSt forests.
No jungle can show the process o1
leafing out any better than yondeI
lilac, growing but few feet from ar
asphalt walk
Leaves on this lilac mean a great
deal more, indeed. for the shrub has
more to contend with, greater handi-
| caps to overcome.
Hence flowers in the home garden
really deserve our applause more than
those in the wild, in one sense.
Despite the aid they get from the
gardener, they must in some ways
miss their really natural environ
mentS,
