against the bioomer costume of some of the
lady bicycle riders. great many people in
this well-informed country would never
have been aware of the existence Of West
port. which is, 1t appears, little town in
Missouri The absurdity of any such ordi-
nance as that which the Westport council
Is said to contemplate has been apparent to
rational beings for many years, yet every
little while some djminutive community
bobs up it's Unbalanced head and attracts
momentary attention to itself by an absurd
effort at restrictive legislation. 1t would be
interesting to study the characters of the
men who make or support such PROPOSE
tions. The possibilities favor their being
guilty of offenses much more serious than
that compitted by woman who elects to
wear a costume which, If decently made.
Is in every respect preferable to the street
costume ordinarily worn by American wo-
mankind. 1t is quite likely that some of
the most fanatical of the anti-bloomer
members of Westports council go out be-
tween the acts at theaters, to the great dis
comfiture Of all the people who may happen
to be between them and the aisle; or that
they occupy more room than they are en-
titled to in the street car, or stand on the
rear platform and blow smoke in the faces
of ladies who pass in and out of the We
hicle. The bloomerites might be tempted
to undertake petty retaliatory legislation.

The possibility of the establishment of

true that the tipping custom has estab-

Atlantic; in some places 1t is SO prevalent
as to give those who have Travelled abroad
the impression that they are anywhere but
at home. The system that has made tip
ping a possibility and that encourages its
existence is without the support of a single
rational argument. 1t may be urged that

pie who toll In other Industries hut those

Things have now come, even in the United

refrains from giving tips receives scant
attention and no courtesy, while the lavish

For this the immediate beneficiariesEthosa

A portrait of Queen Victoria, which, it is
said. cost S11 1000, was sold at auction in
New York a few days ago, and was
knocked down for the pitiful sum of $3.50.
The picture probably cost nothing near the
amount named, but the fact that there
were only two bidders for 1t indicates a
surprising want of patriotism in the bosom
of English residents in this country
and an equally surprising lack of toadyism
on the part of the Anglomaniacs of our own
population. Mrs. Victim is a nice enough
old lady, as queens go, but her ministers
have been doing such things and saying
such things lately that she is likely to lose
some of her popularity on this side of the
Atlantic. This circumstance may indeed
have had something to do with the slump in
the picture market.

Some of the enthusiasts as to municipal
reform (and there are few subjects on
which TO be more properly enthusiastic) are
apparently looking forward to great and
benefcent changes in the government of
New York as consequences naturally to fol-
low upon the appointment of Theodore
Roosevelt as a member of the board of
police commissioners. That Mr.. Roosevelt is
a conyicting and converting power is well
known and it is quite reasonable to believe
ant position Mayor Strong has taken into
his official family one who can hardly fail
to improve considerably conditions that
have been disgraceful alike to the city of
New York and the country generally but
it may easily be that those who are merely
theoretical reformers are in danger of ex-
pecting too much as the result of his ap
pointment. In such city as New York
so long governed by rings and combines
anything like general and instantaneous
good ,havior would be hardly less than
miraculous. 1t is in the police department
that Mr.. Roosevelt refining influence will
mainly be felt and it is reasonable to sup
pose that with sympathetic associates he
will not find it difficult to give New York
city a better police force than any 1t has
ever had. but the friends of reform should
not fall into the error of crediting Mr..
Roosevelt with omnipotence. He Is strong
mentally, morally and physically; his fear
lessness is everywhere conceded; but after
all he is only one man and should not be
called upon to succeed where even a COM
bination of ten thousand good men might
easily fail.

Both the city of Washington and the
state of Virginia have suffered much be-
cause Of the vicious influences that have
been centralized in and issued from the
river-bank settlements closely adjacent to
the national capital, but up to this time
the crusade against the evil has not re-
suited In betterment Of the dangerous con-
ditions existing just across the Potomac.

it is safe to aver. be no problem TO solve,
but as Alexandria county is part of the
proud state of ViIginia-'the mother Of
neutrality-suspicious. Of remedial meas
ures must be made by the Virginia authori-
ties. The governor is fully aware Of the
evil which is being wrought. but makes it
plain that repressive action cannot be taken
until the county officials declare themselves
county officials are evidently not over
anxious to disturb what may possibly be a
narrowly-profitable state of affairs, so be-
tween the two stUUfs law has fallen to
Ge ground.
The evil conditions characteriZing Jack
son City, Rosslyn and the outlay tracks,
ard the damage resulting therefrom to the
reputation of Virginia, the comfort and
the financial interests of residents and
property owners in Alexandria county, and
the moral welfare of the capital have been
vividly and repeatedly described, and a
thoroughly informed and enthusiastic pub
lie sentiment is enlisted in this crusade.
No more words of denunciation are neces-
sary; the time has come for action.
What are the practical steps by which
this nuisance can be abated? The method
most quickly available and most effective,
if successful, is for citizens of Alexandria
county-only a few are needed-to bring
county officials. alleged 20 be recreant be-
fore the county court. under statutory
proceedings resembling an impeachment
If only a fraction of what citizens say
privately can be established by evidence
the problem of getting rid of reform-ob-
structing officials would be easily and
speedily solved. If citizens are afraid to
take this bold and open and possibly
somewhat dangerous course they can
quietly accomplish the same result at the
county elections, which occur next month.
Either at the polls or through the county
court Alexandria county should provide
itself with officials who will crush this
evil, or confess their lack of power and
appeal to Governor OFerrall for the as
sstance of the state.
There exists here a natural tendency to
trans-Potomac growth. Many a Washing
tonian in search of site for suburban
home looks with favor toward the at
tractive Virginia shore. but turns away in
disgust when he notes the character of
many of those who would be his neighbors
through failure to enforce the law. All
the immediate remedies are in the hands
of the people of Alexandria county.
