He is called a wizard at home, and he will be at liberty to bring his wizardry with him. There is a liking in this country for a wizard with words, and the conference will be a fine field for the display of such a talent. If possible, Mr. George should look in on us next month, and stay as long as business at home will permit. —————————— Parks. The District Commissioners have re- turned to the Senate District com- mittee, with a favorable report, the pending bill to extend the park system e |of the District by the purchase of The Lincoln Statue. The old city hall statue of Abraham Lincoln has been taken down, but the opposition to its taking off will not down. The old marble efigy which Lot Flannery chiseled by direction of the Lincoln National Monument As- sociztion, formed under authority of the coun bexed up in a gover or junk yard. but the old statue canmnot posed of. The statue will come back. There are many who feel that it should be restored to its original site. But in any event it is going to be placed ‘where men may see it—the first Lin- coln monument set up anywhere in the world after the assassination of the great civil war President, and set up by the first Lincoln memorial as- sociation. The present proposal is to re-erect this historic Lincoln monument at Fort Stevens. Col. Sherrill, in charge of public buildings and grounds, and custodian of the statue, is quoted as saying that he believes no more ap- propriate site could be selected for it, and that he will ask Congress to au- thorize its removal to Fort Stevens. Representative King of Illinois, who has fought hayd to restore the statue to its original site in front of the present courthouse, is unwilling that any other site should be considered. Congress ought at once to re-erect the statue ecither on the original site or at Fort Stevens. The statue should not fall between two stools or two sites. Lincoln's statue should be res- cued at once from its present dis- honoring location. be Useful Letter Carriers. Postmaster Chance’s discove! and 100 vacant hoéuses for rent in the District illustrates the use to which an already efficient force of men may put. The survey was carried on by the letter carriers of the Washington city post office, and was completed overnight. Penetrating as they do to every corner of the District, it is to be presumed that the carriers missed scarcely a vacant house. Even if there is no sign on the building the carrier knows whether any" one lives in it or not, because he knows if he delivers mail to it or not. Everybody gets mail. Also he is likely to know if the house is for sale or rent, sign or no sign. As interesting as the findings of the postmaster are in themselves, the use of the carriers for such a purpose is a novelty. In the past the mailmen have alded largely in liberty bond and other drives. Perhaps in the future, under the direction of forward-looking post- masters, the carriers may render still greater public service, along with their regular work. The post office is an agency that comes into the most in- timate contact with the daily life of the people. Perhaps its functions have beet too narrowly limited to the mere handling of mail and related businesses. The tendency in government offices has been to broader and broader assump- tions of duty. In the Post Office De- partment the Postmaster General has _indicated his desire to give more and more service to the American peo- ple through the post offices. A Sea of Hats. The tops of heads have a new|turn i significance when several thousand of | The elms, beeches, lindens, birches, may not fling out their yellow ban- them are gathered close together, each head crowned by a new fall hat. This interesting ocean may be observed at full tide any afternoon 'these days on the 11th street side of the Star build- ing, where the electric scoreboard shows, play by play, the progress of the world series base ball games. Practically every head is covered with a new hat, in nearly every case made of felt, and generally brown or dark green in color. There are plenty of caps, but these are far outnumbered by the felts. Where the white straw once sat supreme old Sir Dignity has taken up his throne. Mankind is very aull, very conservative, if the top of his head can be taken as a guide. But it cannot. It is what is inside that counts. —_———— The willingness of President Hard- ing to receive advice is only surpassed by the willingness of a few of those who opposed him politically to give it.

This action on the part of the Commis- sioners was expected. The addition of these wooded ureas to the park system of the capital has been commended, recommended and re-recommended almost time out of mind; at any rate, ever since the agitation began which resulted in taking over a large part the valley of Rock creek and the oals and marshes into Potomac Piney branch and the Klingle Road run e naturally a part of Rock Creek Park, and furnish two natural avenues of approach to the park, one from the east, the other from the west, and are themselves of scenic beauty of the same character as Rock creek. Patterson tract has many fea- tures to commend it—its loftiness, its woods, the prospect that may be had from it, the steadiness with which Luilt-up sections are pressing around it and the additional fact that the northeast part of the District has Leen neglected in the matter of pro- viding parks. Taking over land for the permanent use, entertainment and instruction of the people ought to bé looked at with a view to the present and the future. Time will come when the government and citizens of Washington will regret that the whole line of heights which bound the north side of the city and the Eastern branch highlands, which overlook the city and its rivers, were rot reserved as public parks. The Regular - Session. Leader Mondell of the House wants the business for which the special se sion of Congress was called cleaned up e He advises pletely. The regular session will have act. An excellent suggestion. It should session will have a crowded card of its own, and the measures will be such as to consume much time in debate. Even the routine will have to be han- dled with more than ordinary care.

And then we may expect a game of politics played from start to finish. scribed as a huge stake. For that the next presidential campaign, and the control of the body will afford an for presidential party maneuvering. Mr. Mondell suggests June 1 as closing day for the regular session.

The Central stadium, on the other hand, would afford seats to all, an ideal place for hearing the music and ample parking facilities nearby for those who might come in motor cars. It is a suggestion which those in charge of the public concerts next summer might consider carefully. ———————— Another thing Furopeans find it difficult. to understand is the manner in which Americans can forget their troubles for awhile and concentrate on a base ball game.
