Naturally the National City is ex

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

is expected to be of much conven

Against all these goverment law

As a lawyer people have heard lit

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

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

parties, it will be a safe investment
ol time for newspaper readers to
follow the development of the
Washington bank case.

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.
