WHY NOT?

Protests have been made against the
establishment of a garbage plant at the
foot of Twenty third street because it
would result in procession of garba ge
carts past the White House, the War De-
partment and through a fine residence
portion of the city at all hours of the day.
The Times fails to see any force in this
argument. Garbage must be got rid of,
and somebody's nostrils must of necessity
be offended, and the olfactories OF poll
ticians who have become office holders are
not likely to be more sensitive than those
OF citizens in other business. The white
House would probably contribute as much
garbage to the carts as any other house
of its size in the city, and it must all
be removed.
No protest, however, has been heard
from Mr.. Oeveland against the PROPOSE
tioD, and he is doubtless too democratic to
claim for his own seDsibilities an immuni-
'ty which should not be claimed for Others
Doubtless the persons who protest are
speaking from their own fears, and not
on account of any solicitation they feel
for the comfort of the occupants of the
White House, the War Department and the

ELEcTRoLYsIs NOW.

The cunning corporations who find 1t
cheaper to string their electric wires over
head than underfoot, may not have 4 hand
in conjuring the bugaboo of electrolysis but
it looks very much as though they are the
deus ex machina-
Electrolysis is not a new bug or parasite.
but is q term used to describe the chemical
operation of electricity upon subtcrra-
mean iron pipes, such az are used for the
water and gas system. Underground cleo
trio wires are said to throw off such a
quantity of the fluid that the pipes of the
city are being rapidly eaten up.
This is doubtless one of the reasons why
electric companies refuse to place their
wires underground Their interest in pre-
serving the water pipes may be expected to
be given great impetus By the discovery.
In their anxiety they will have the synIpa
thy OF the gas company, which will not
want to even run the risk of having its
pipes injured, as it might be too poor to
replace them.
The companies employing electric wires
will probably be asked to make some ex-
plantations to Congress of their avoidance
of the law, and electrolysis may be ex-
pectcd TO be learpe,ily discussed.

EXTENSION SPECULATION,

If any one wants to reach conclusion
as to what will happen if millions are ap-
propriated for street extension, it is but
necessary to take the trouble to look back
over the phenomena of the city's develop
mcnt.
1t can easily be discovered that in what
ever locality influential real estate specu-
lators secured vacant lands there the peo-
pies money was first poured out like water
for Improvements, while other areas, long
built up, the houses and lots to a great cx-
tent owned by the persons occupying them,
were left untouched by the payer or even
the layer of pipes for water service.
Large sections OF the city have been ruined
by this deliberate discrimination, while
others have been beautified and the specu.
lators enriched.
If this is history, what will the near fut-
ure be il millions be voted for extension?
Almost every acre of land for miles around
the city, in both Maryland and Virginia,
has fallen into the hands of ''syndicates."
The small holder has disappeared, as the
small producer of all kinds has been swai-

capital. Three or four OF these '.syndi-
Gates control the most available regions

has started the movement for extension,
