Blossom Time.

Dull and unresponsive, indeed, must
be the individual who does not appre-
ciate blossom time. The majority of
folk, it may be supposed, are keen about
Spring and especially about the miracle
OF nature which, by processes of sun
and rain, recostumes growing things.
Thousands Of people testify to their
enthusiasm by coming to Washington
to see the Japanese cherry trees. But
even after those have faded there still
is much that is beautiful to see in the
gardens, fields and woodlands, in the
parks and along the streets and road
ways of the District of Columbia and
adjacent Maryland and Virginia. Just
now the lure of the. .out-of doors is all
but irresistible.
But 1t may be wondered if men and
women are sufficiently conscious of the
fact that human forethought, nurture
and care are represented in the spectacle
OF Spring. Perhaps it is not generally
realized that nature alone never could
have achieved the results which the
passing throng so much enjoys and yet
so much takes for granted. Considera-
tion, however, prompts recognition of the
truth that every orchard, every Towering
shrub, every cultivated plant has been
an object of human care. OF course,
jungle may produce orchids, wilder
ness be sprinkled over with violets. It
must be conceded that floral anarchy
has power of attraction. For civilized
loveliness, however, an orderly, delib-
crate and purposeful philosophy of
tillage is necessary: the science and the
art of horticulture are wanted.
In other words, beauty is not in
variably an accident. II communities

Venezuela's New Deal.

There must be millions of people in
Russia. Italy, Germany and other coun-
tries ruled by autocrats who will envy
what is about to take place In Venezuela.
That Latin American land of fabulous oil
deposits is by way of liquidating die
tatorship. For more than quarter OF a
century preceding his disappearance from
the scene last December, the late Gen.
Juan Vicente Gomez reigned at Caracas
with the untrammeled power of a despot.
1t was benevolent autocracy over which
Gomez presided, measured in material
terms, for under it Venezuela attained
economic affluence which was the envy
of her sister states throughout South
America. Her national debt was the
smallest on the continent and her bal
ance of trade, thanks to oil exports,
was almost steadily favorable. Yet while
commerce f1ourished, civil liberty with
cred, and prisons and jails crammed with
political offenders against the Gomez
tyranny were enduring and depressing
symbols that behind the veneer OF ma
tional welfare dictatorship in its cruelest
form held sway.
Venezuela hopes henceforth to have
done with all that. A new deal comes
into effect this week with the inaugura-
ton of Gen. Eleazar Lopez as President.
He was conStitutionally elected by Con-
gress on April 25, the vote OF 1872 to
only one in opposition testifying to
unanimity of support not common IN
Latin America politics. 1t Is true that
the incoming executive rose from the
rank of an humble army officer to
generals grade under Gomez, but Gen.
Lopez assumes Office under definite
pledge to guide the country from die
tatorship to democracy. AS he takes the
helm with a reputation for firm-handed-
ness and with the reputed solid support
of the army, Venezuelans have high
hopes that the process of transition will
take a normal course and lead to stability
under popular government.
The President-elect became provisional
President Immediately after GomezS
death. The vigor with which he sup
pressed sanguinary rioting, evoked by
liberation of political prisoners and re-
moval of officials appointed by the de-
parted dictator, suggests that in Gen.
Lopez Venezuelans have found forcetul
ruler. AS he owes his election to an
unpopular Congress whose members
were originally put in office by Gomez,
time doubtless will be needed to show
whether with his accession to the presiS
dency all traces of the old regime have
vanished and national tranquility is
assured.

capital outlays, for 1924, however,
amounted to $25,77s,654 as against the
total of the current year bill of
Sal ,224 1908. In brief, that explains why
school building and other capital expen-
ditures have fallen so far behind. The
size of the District bill has almost
doubled since 1922. Yet capital outlays,
in the past three years, are below the
capital expenditures for the three years
preceding 1924. Maintenance and oper-
ating expenses have accounted for the
great increase in the bill. The proper
tion between maintenance and improve
ment, which should have been main
tanned, has been lost.
A school building program is necessary.
Other delayed improvements are neces-
sary. But all improvement programs in
the District depend on an equitable sys-
tenn of financing Capital needs.

are to have gardens worth admiration,
they must plan and labor to that end.
And the planning must be intelligent
and the laboring consistent. To illus
trate the point. familiar story may be
repeated: An American visiting an Eng
lish country house expressed wish to
possess an equally fine lawn. How do
you do it," he asked of his hosts gar
dener. The answer was: "Well, sir;
we plant it and NOW it and roll it for
q hundred years. That's ALL"
But a century is little enough in the
experience Of the children of earth. #
each succeeding generation does its
share, America the Beautiful one day
may be more beautiful still, incredible as
that may seem.

Leagues and Leagues.

The Good Neighbor League" has, it
appears. the blessing of President Roose-
welt and of the Democratic high COM
mand. This new league, which is de-
clared to be non-partiSan," has been
organized at least in part by DR.. Stanley
High. who was recently engaged in
organization work for the Democratic
National Committee. 1t may be pre-
sumed, therefore, that the Good Neigh
Dor League, in this year 1886, is just
about as non-partisan as the American
Liberty League. And just as the Amer
ican Liberty League was erected to fight
the Roosevelt New Deal-which that
league holds to be unconstitutional in the
main-so the Good Neighbor League has
been organized to promote the interests
of the New Deal.
President Roosevelt, it is said, has
Endorsed the principles of the Good
Neighbor League. DR. High, discussing
the new league, is quoted as saying:
"The good neighbor recognizes that
human values come before property
values; that the long time prosperity OF
property requires the we'll being of the
people; that the American answer to
the revolutionist is the removal of those
injustices which make revolution" 1t
looks as though the good neighbor,
under this Interpretation, might be quite
ready to make free with property values
provided they belonged to some one
else. That, indeed seems to be quite
human trait, though whether it is an
admirable trait is another matter The
mention of longtime prosperity of
property sounds bit involved. The
well being of the people depends to
very great extent upon property and its
safeguards OF course, the doctors
comment upon how to keep America free
from revolution is entirely trite.
If being good neighbor means taking,
through the strong arm of government,
property from one man and giving it to
another, it is about time the people under
stood it, If men and women who work
and are industrious and thrifty are to
be compelled by the government to re-
linquish their property, so that it may
be given to others who have less indus
try less thrift, and less ability, it looks
rs though premium will be placed
upon lack of industry and thrift.
A great deal of poppycock has been
said and written about human values and
property values. They are, as a matter
of fact, indistinguishable. An effort has
been made to make a catch word of
human values" for the sake of politics
And unfortunately an effort has been
made to make it appear that men who
have property necessarily have noregard
for human values.
The assertion that the Good Neighbor
League is non-partisan organization
can scarcely be established 1t un-
doubtedly will be found fighting just
as hard for the reelection of the New
Deal President as the American Liberty
League will be found fighting to prevent
his reelection. 1t is just another polit-
zeal group.

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL.

We found an old copy of Leaves of
Grass" on a bookstall recently. 1t was
published by Thayer and Eldridge at
Boston in 1850, "Year IS Of the States"
the page states.
Facing the title page was a sheet Of
tissue, but there was no frontispiece for
it to protect. 1t was only while holding
the book at an angle that one could see
the faint impress which the steel engrav-
ing left on the tissue of the Good Gray
Poet"
There he was, faint, but undeniable.
whiskers and all. Some one who loved
his poems in the long ago, had removed
that plate, carefully, neatly, without de-
facing the volume in any way.
We should have known better, of
course, but it being April, and Spring in
the air, we looked for the famous burial
hymn of President Lincoln, When Lilacs
Last in the Door-Yard Bloomd." For
some reason, Whitman never liked "ed.O
1t wasn't there, of course, for the good
and simple reason, as Penrod said, that
it hadn't been written when this edition
came from the press.
Lincoln had not been aSsaSSinated.
Whitman loved lilacs. but he hadn't had
any occasion to twine them with words

itual uplifts.

One bush stood then, as it stands now:

The Other Fellow.


The other fellow is the chap
Who fills our hearts with woe;
We execute a moral map
And show him where to 60.
We tell him what he ought to eat
And what he ought to drink;
And, just to make the scheme complete,
We tell him what to think.
The other fellow does the same.
We scarcely realize
That each of us some one will name
AS careless or unwise.
Himself each citizen neglects,
And does the best he can
To bear up with his own defects
And curb his fellow man.
Jud Tunkins says the most fun about
going fishing is talking about it in a
way that makes people who have to
stay home and work jealous.
A man who never changes his mind
may have the courage of his convictions,
but as a rule he doesn't care to undergo
the mental exertion of forming new
opinions.
