P A R K IN G A U T O M O B IL E S Naturally the National City is ex­ pected to set the pace in many re­ spects, and one of the new schemes is the parking of automobiles in the busy business district. Where to place automobiles in the business district is a problem confronting all large cities, and just now Washing­ ton is trying a new plan in the wide streets of the city which is fortun­ ately designated as a park for auto­ mobiles. The space Las been mark­ ed by white lines painted on the asphalt, and the new parking area is expected to be of much conven­ ience to autoists in the downtown business section.

Davis, and one might have supposed these would answer, but was not to be so— since there were other angles and other interests of the government, and therefore more lawyers were added. All these government lawyers are watching each other— and that is the reason the politicians arebegining to croak "Remember the Ballinger case!” Just as though anyone would ever forget the Ballinger case, since it, doubtless more than anything else, tna.ked the hegining of the end ior one William Howard Taft and bis party, CO U N SE L FOR T H E D E F E N SE Against all these goverment law­ yers stand Joseph Weldon Baily. As a lawyer people have heard lit­ tle of Joseph Welden in recent years but when we mention "Senator Bally," then it is very different. Oh, yes, Baily is still alive, thank you— and he still growls angrily at at the Democratic party.even though that organization furnished him bis honors down in Texas. Baily was tarred by the Standard Oil stick, and th Higgs National is also some­ times spoken of as part cf the "Standard Oil crowd,” so why shouldn’t they be companionable? Thus far Baily has been fighting like a politician, but maybe he wiH find the lawyers’ angle by the time he gets into court Anyhow there is a pretty lively prospect that a big part of the national banks of the country will side with the Riggs; and since bankers are im­ portant in many ways to political parties, it will be a safe investment ol time for newspaper readers to follow the development of the Washington bank case. T H E R E P U B L IC A N H O PE S The war has made an artificial tariff wall that has given Amer­ ican manufacturers « free hand in supplying the markets of our coun­ try. The Republican leaders are all chuckling over "what is going to happen when peace is declared, and Germany begins to ship its dye­ stuff and other commodities.” If Republican expect »tions are realized the Underwood tariff will be a reg­ ular double-barreled weapon aimed straight at Democracy. Therefore the Republicans are building their hopes on the tariff for 1916.
