that the United States and British Column

there must be some fire. but if there is any
fire concealed by the filibusters who in

apparently make any attempt to cover up
their tracks, either here or in other lands
then great many people will really be

No matter how the election in New York
city turns out this fall, no one will be
likely to assert that the election officers
were incompetent men or men bent upon
depriving any honest voter of his right of
suffrage. Election officers in New York
are appointed by the board of police COM
missioners, and every intelligent reader of
the newspapers knows what a conscien-
tious body OF officials compose that board
Hitherto it has been the custom for the
political bosses to select plant agents, who
would disregard the law and the equities

instructions given them by the BOSSES

nominating of one-half of the election of
fcers and the other half will be nominated

lions; but the man who is nominated will
not necessarily be appointed President

With the long end of the lever in their
hands and with the laws immovable full

trict Commissioners neither take action as
to the removal of the Illegally tanned
trolley poles on New York avenue nor an
nounce to the public their reasons for de-
laying 20 do the duty required of them by
their respective oaths of office? If the Com
missioners have received satisfactory and
binding assurances of the lexington COM
pany's intention to speedily substitute a
modern underground motor for the obstruc-
tive and dangerous poles and wires they
should take the people into their confidence
and let them know upon what terms an
armistice has been negotiated.

If the Equity Court refuses the applica-
ton for an injunction TO restrain the Com
missioners from filing and recording the
map of the first street-extension section 1t
Is hoped that the Commissioners will not
treat their victory in the same way that
they treated the courts decision refusing
to enjoin them from cutting down the Eek
ington trolley poles. Otherwise the map
will be withheld from filing as the conse-
quence Of decision that nobody can pre-
vent 1t from being filed. But perhaps the
Commissioners really want to file the
street-extension map. In which case they
might not view refusal to enjoin them as
equivalent to an injunc ton.

Health Officer Woodward did precisely
what he was expected to do when he re-
ported adversely on the proposition to place
a number of public school children in the
basement rooms of buildings that are al
ready overcrowded II is undoubtedly true
that school accommoda tons are insufficient
in more than one section of the District
but the deficiencies will not be so great
when the new buildings already provided
for, but as yet necessarily unbuiit, are
ready for occupancy. Meanwhile num-
Der of children must either be provided with
educational facilities in basement rooms, or
go without the learning they need, but In
asmuch as their physical health is of SUI
preme Importance 1t is believed by several
members of the school board who have
given the matter consideration that the
youngsters had better tramp to some dis
tant building or even remain out of school
until the requisite rooms and equipment
have been provided. AS stated in yester-
days Star, the school board has never had
the natter brought to Its attention as a
body and there is every reason for believ-
ing that the board would, had it been fully
aware of what was intended, have rendered
1t unnecessary for the health officer to
make any inspection and report.

Shall we render verdict of Served them
right" In the case of Christian mission
aries murdered in China? Is it necessary
for one who prefers domestic to foreign
missions to so condemn the latter as to
find the missionaries deserving of capital
punishment? Most people will admit that
domestic missions should not be neglected
in order to cultivate foreign missions. But
those who do most to relieve physical and
moral distress at home the most apt to
be blessed with that unselfish and abound
ing beneficence which extends interest
sympathy and relief beyond the narrow
domestic circle to the needy outside, even
to the people of other lands. 1t is too often
the case that the selfish man evades his
duties to those not in his immediate circle
on the plea that he has enough of that
sort of thing to do in that circle, and, hav-
ing thus begun to contract his sympathies,
ends by combining his interest to that por-
ton of the human race which is bounded
by his own skin. Missions like charity,
begin at home, but should not end there.

Major Davis. the engineer officer in charge
OF the Improvement of the Potomac river,
reports progress with the survey, plan and
estimate OF cost of bridge across the
Eastern Branch from the foot of South
Capitol street; a bridge which will doubt
l'ss, in view of the fact that Congress ap-
pria ted S3;aD for the preliminaries become
useful reality In the near future In con-
junction with work that bridge there
Should be government undertaking of an
Improvement of much greater value to the
general public than even the proposed
bridge; the dredging out of the channel of
the Eastern Branch and the transformation
of the Eastern Branch flats into a great
area of parking such as will soon he he
tween the Washington and Georgetown
channels of the Potomac. Years ago, be-
fore the dredges had ever touched the Kid
well Bottoms. there undoubtedly
great deal of maiariai disease which had it's
origin in the conditions prevalent between
the north and south banks of the river.
Careful expenditure of a sufficient sum of
money has hanished malaria from the city's
main waterfront and similar procedure on
the Maryland side would drive from the Dis
trict of Columbia the last semblance of
cause for maariai trouble of any sort.
From the swamps of the Eastern Branch
tIeFe continually arise, from the uecOnl-
posing vegetable matter, morbific eXhaia-
tons of the most active sort, contributing
largely to the death rate and acting
tinuous deterrents in the important matter
of the city's growth in the eastward direc-
tiCn. In view of the insignificant current
IN the Eastern Branch. it IS believed that
the marshes there could be reclaimed with
much smaller expenditure of cash than
has been necessary to raise the Potomac
fats to their present satisfactory level. In
Holland-whose people know more about
retaining land than any other under the
sun-there is frequently employed an econ
omical method by the operation of which
the Eastern Branch sediment could be pre-
vented from going downstream and be used
to build up d solid founda ton for the soil
which should be where the extremely I'm
healthy marshes now are. When Congress
assemblies there should be persistent cam
paign by the people of Washington in be-
half of the Improvement of the Eastern
Branch flats. Residents of East Washing
ton will of course take the lead but locality
should have nothing to do with the activity
or inactivity of any Washtngtonian; the bet
terment which will surely be demanded will
affect the entire District of Columbia.
