Whenever a genuine effort is made to oD-
tain site upon which to erect govern
ment printing-office building in place of
the Observation-Disclosures structure now in
use there straightway appears the Malone
lot to obstruct progress and defeat action.
This has been SO from the time when con-
gressional attention was first directed to-
ward the absolute necessity of providing a
substitute for the cid building. Suitable
property has often been placed at the dis
posal of Congress, and efforts have been
made 10 purchase, but up to this date all
negotiations have come to naught because
the obstructive few who had the Malone
interests-and maybe their own-in charge,
were powerful enough TO prevent action
that would upset somebody's plans to sell
to the government something the govern
ment does not want. The Star has no rec
ommendation whatever to make to the
location of the new printing-oftice building
let 1t be put anywhere except upon a
parking-reservaticn-bu it believes that
Chairman Milliken of the House Committee
on Public Buildings and Grounds Is right
In opposing the attempt of the Malone lot
people to thwart any action that does not
provide for the purchase Of their property.
Those concerned in the disposition Of that
serve. the slightest consideration, for in
directly they have compelled thousands OF
men and women to labor day and night in
trembling shell that Congress itself would
not occupy for an hour. 1t was supposed
that with the death of the Virginia poll
tcian who was nominally the owner of the
troublesome property there would come
the possibility of site-selection, but the
controversy which took place in the House
Committee on Public Buildings and Grounds
yesterday shows that the Malone lot is still
perniciously-a active an obstruction to the
speedy building of new governm IN. print
ing-ofice.

As body of show-soldiers the District
National Guard is a complete failure, and
In the decorative category may not be men
toned on the same day as other brigades
which make brave showing on spectacular
occasions. But when there is soldierly bust
ness to be done the local organization
which. by the way. is the only real Nation
al Guard in the country-can acauit itself in
manner second to none. The rapid assem-
bly, of the Fourth Battalion yesterday even
ing should interest even the non-mlitary
public. for 1t was proof of ability to assem-
BILE in very short period and be ready for
any service that might lawfully be required
of it. The system is common to the whole
brigade and If operated would probably re-
suit in as good a general record as was
made last night by OF battalion. The
National Guard Is our reserve police force
1t may never be called upon in real earnest,
but it Is soltdly-satisfying to know that if II
ever should be needed it can be in readiness
at an hours notice.

Occasionally they do things better in New
York than in Washington. For instance,
they discourage bicyclists who attempt to
"scorch' through the streets on Manhat-
tan Island. We may have an ample suf-
ficiency of police regulations here. but they
do not seem to be effective. somehow or
other. The Star has suggested the equip
ment of at least two or three policemen
so that they may be able to intercept or
overtake the thoughtless youngsters vino
are forever terrifying pedestrians by riding
as rapidly as possible along our tempt
inglysmooth thoroughfares. In New York
and even in staid. slow Philadelphia
they have bicycle policemen. and those Of
f1cers have rendered the general public
which term includes all sensible bicycle
riders-remarkably good service. The ne
cessity for active repressive influence as
to "scorching' is much greater in this
city than 1t is either in New York or Phila-
delphia. Are the authorities waiting for
some fatal collision before they act in this
matter?

How to Obtain Pure water.

Every consumer of water wants pure
water. Fifty years ago there was much
more Of pure water than there now Is, for
then there were fewer people to assist in
the work of contaminatio AS the popula-
tion increases and as the heretofore waste
places ere settled upon there is steady
increase in the volume Of drainage which,
to greater or lesser degree. affects the
water-supply Of every community Wash
angton's water-supply bids fair to be at
least sufficient In quantity within a year
or two but there Is not yet any definite
movement toward betterment of its quail
ity. 1t should not be imagined. though,
that the Potomac Is dangerously polluted,
for 1t is much cleaner than many other
streams which millions Of people are prac-
tically compelled to use. But the Potomac
product has In It more Of impurity when
ie reaches the consumer than It ought to

The Wooden Roof ON the POst-Omce.
There Is no rational excuse to be offered
for the use Of inflammable material In the
construction of the city post-ohice building
Years ago, when structural iron Work was
unthought Of, there was no question as to
the advisability of using lumber wherever
it was needed and when buildings were de-
stroyed by fire, as was frequently the case,
they were rebuilt in the same old way be-
cause no better way had presented ITSELF
But that day is no more. Inventive man
has made plain the fact that iron IS Tar
superior to lumber in very many respects,
while slate and terra Gotta and wire have
superseded the shingles and laths that
were always SO conspicuously dangerous
when fire threatened. Of this modern and
altogether better condition of affairs the
supervising architect of the treasury does
not seem to be aware. or if he is aware Of
it there is no testimony to that effect i'll
the roof OF what will some day be one Of
the largest Of the department buildings.
Tatil the roof was reached there was no
evidence that the architect intended max
ing the stru-:u-e ether than fire-proof; in
fact 1t has always been understood and
frequently announced that the building
would be a model affair in which ample
space. air. light and security would COM
bine to form an ideal whole. 1t Is there
fore difficult to comprehend the plan which
provides for the Use of wood in place of
nom combustible material, especially when
1t Is apparent that the lumber is in place
where confiagration IS moro probable than
in any other part Of the building. 1t may
be that the supervising architect has not
given this matter his personal attention; if
that be 50 he would do well to change the
specifications as rapidly as possible so as to
remove what will surely be a menace to
life and property. At q cost of many thou
sands Of dollars to the government-about
sixty thousand. 1t Is sa:d-the post-office
plans were changed so as to have the walls
of dressed granite instead of the rough
stone first decided upon. If it be possible
to make changes for the financial better
ment Of the contractor-as in that case
why may there not be amendment looking
to the complete elimination Of all irham-
mable material from the work of construc-
ton? When the building Is complete it
will be occupied by large number of gov
ernment employees and will be much re-
sorted to by the general public; valuable
records will also be stored there. To omit
anything essential to safety is inexcusable.
To deliberately invite conflagration with all
the horrible possibilities attendant thereon
Is criminal.

His Little Joke,

nose and pointed whiskers was wiping the
perspiration from his brow, while one, con-
siderably younger. tried to button the COL
iai which had slipped up over his ear.
Its only just joke" said the man with
the chin whiskers. soothingly. "You see, me
