With all due respect to Col. John Tracey
and his experience in the management
OF charitable and rerormatory inst itu-
tionS, The Times is of the opinion that
his objections to the bill introduced by
Representative Curtis of New York for
the erection of reformatory and house
of detention for women and girls are not
well taken. So far from its being n
superfluous Institution. as Col. Tracey
contends, it is one for which there has
been great need in the District for many
years. There is not one of all the places
mentioned by the superintendent of chari-
ties that partakes of the character of
the one proposed in the Curtis bill.
If the projected institution were simply
to be a reformatory, there might, per-
haps. be force in some of Col. Tracey's
objections, though even on this point il
may be contended that the reformatorics
in the District, especially those for women
and girls. do not come up to the standard
of the best regulated institutions of a
similar class elsewhere. That feature
of the Curtis bill, however, which most

and the full penalty of the law is visited
upon the offender.
The ministers of the Gospel can do a
great missionary work in this matter. In
addition to expressing their abhorrence let
them thunder from their pulpits against
the outrage upon the people of the Dis
trict, perpetrated by allowing the Divis-
ion to exist unmolested. Let them arouse
their congregations to a realization of
the fact that such a plague spot blackens
what should be one of the most frequented
sections of the city; that their wives and
daughters must blush at It's proximity
every time they pass along Pennsylvania
avenue; that it bars free access to two
public parks and departments of the gov
ernment, and lies in the way, from the
leading hotels of the city, of the intend-
ing visitors to the Smithsonian Institution
and the National Museum.
Abolish the Division and the license
question will take care of itself.
The morning times., 1896-01-29

A paper signed by 4 large number Of
well-known clergymen has been sent TO
the excise board, in which these reverend
gentlemen express their "abhorrence at
the existence of the Division and ap-
p.aud the board for holding up the
applications for liquor licenses in that
delectable neighborhood.
The ministers are half right and half
wrong. They are right in expressing
their adherence that the Division should
be permitted by the authorities to exist;
they are wrong in commencing the refusal
cf liquor licenses there.
Undoubtedly they have overlooked the
fact that in every one of the dens Of in
fanny in that quarter liquor is sold night
and day, week days and Sundays, without
let or hindrance, without any license, or
even an application for it. The police
know this to be fact, just as.well as they
know that the houses are there, and they are
fully cognizant of their character. Yet
no attempt has ever been made to bring
any one of the proprietors of these speak
easies to the police court and fine them
for their unlawful traffic. If In some

commends the proposed establishment is
that which provides that it shall serve as
a place of detention for women and girls
awaiting trial.
In this il would take the place of the
Jail or the station-house cell, and would
exercise its most philanthropic function.
1t would serve to keep the woman or the
girl who is merely charged with crime
separated from those convicted of it.
They would be spared the contamination
OF the society of hardened criminals, and
in the hands of such Officers as ought to
be selected for a place like that, might
be restrained from further transgressions
Moreover, it is an act of simplest justice
not to deal with one whom the law pre-
sumes to be innocent until proven guilty
as harshly or subject her to the same
treatment as the one whose guilt has been
judicially established.
A house of detention is much needed
in the District If the Curtis bill be
shorn of all other features. it should be
permitted to retain this one and become
law.

When wealth is gone. you'll quickly find
That love will soon decay
That all the treasures of your mind
Were but heap of clay;
And eyes that once beamed bright for you,
And lips that met your own,
Have vanished like the morning dew,
And pleasures that are flown.
But. never mind move on your way,
And let the ingrates fly;
You'll turn the tables some fine day
And see the dastards die;
And by their bier you'll pass alongs

Mcmillan takes exception to the ordinance
promulgated by the Commissioners, that
carriages and carts driving along Pennsyl-
vania avenue must come to full stops at
Seventh and Ninth streets, and then go n t
a walk across the tracks. The order is
most unreasonable and liable TO work harm
rather than good. If horses were brought
to a standstill at either crossing they would
be much more apt TO get restive or trouble
some with cable or electric trains rushing
by them than if they We're to cross the
tracks at the usual gait.

questionably is to prevent accidents, but in
their almost constitutional eagerness to
inconvenience the public rather than the
corporations, they have laid an injunction
