Reassurinr Annoyances

w ofA is now IN progress at many of the
street railway intersections in the heart of
the city. interfering somewhat with ordi-
nary traffic and presenting an unsightly
spectacle to the eyes of visitors. Yet this
work ought to be gratifying to the resi-
dents OF Washington a promise of the
perfection of an enterprise in street rail-
reading scarcely without parallel in this
country and certain to rebound to the in
finite advantage of the capital when fully
completed and followed by operation. This
work, which consists of the uniting of the
various branches of the lines composing the
syndicate" system, is a type of Washing
tons recent development into great com
nlunity. 1t signifies that the Washington
of today has expanded far beyond its former
bounds and is still progressing toward the
stage of an Ideally comfortable residence
city. For when this series of switch-laying
jobs is done the city will be provided with
perfectly elastic transportation system,
capable of furnishing the residents of both
urban and suburban sections with a maxi
mum of facility at a minimum of fare and
inconvenience. The method of transferring
passengers bound to or from the OUTLYING
portions of the District is cumbersome at
best. Even with frequent headway conges-
tion is certain to occur at the junction
points. Under the old regime, with the SUBJ
urban roads barely existing on insufficient
income, and maintaining a separate organi-
zation from the city trunk lines, any other
plan was impracticable, although Congress
at one time sought to compel the city lines
to receive the cars of the suburban roads
over their tracks. This scheme was unsatis-
factory for many reasons. At all events, 1t
failed to materialize, and there was but
slight relief from the old process until the
organization of the present consolidation of
various lines into one system, which per-
mttted the most intimate trackage arrange
ments. The effect of the present plan is to
allow the suburban resident to ride con-
tinuously to his home from the center of
the city without the annoying necessity of
transfer This opportunity is certain to
develop the suburban residence feature of
Washington life already so far advanced
along conservative, permanent lines. Any
thing that tends to prevent city congestion
is desirable. Washington should never be
permitted TO overgrow itself within its own
bounds. Nothing should ever be allowed to
develop here suggestive in the least of the
closely crowded districts Of so many other
cities. where vice and crime revel in propor-
ton to the density of tine population Thus
the ease of access to the outlying sections
Of the capital afforded by cheap, comfort
able street railway transportation is a di-
rect item in favor Of the development of
the ideal community, well spread out and
yet at no point beyond easy reach. In this
movement both of the great transporta ton
companies deserve the highest praise. The

The Introduction of the doG-muzZling

dogs for six months. This was done. There
was Immediately a great oUtcry by the
owners of dogs. and the Commissioners
were assailed both as to the necessity Of
the order and the legality of the proceed

upon the former.

The country will probably go slow in
forming Judgment as to the charge just
now brought against General Funston that
he has violated the laws by hanging two
Filipino insurgents without trial. There
have been great many yarns about the
American soldiers and officers in the Philip
pines. particularly about Funston. discred-
liable to them at first glance. but later sim
mering down to nothing. This story may
prove upon inquiry TO be true. General
Funston may later be brought to book
about It. But meanwhile it may be we'll to
ask whether, if the story is indeed true. it
reflects seriously upon the Kansas man.

ing themselves nuisance generally to both
the soldiers and the natives The adminls-
trati0n has seriously considered the advis-
ability of issuing proclamations declaring
these people TO be outlaws. subject to the
death penalty if caught with arms in their
hands. There is ample precedent for such
a move. 1t is urged by many as the most
assured method of crushing the insurrectlon
and bringing peace to Luzon. But naturally
the government hesitates 10 adopt so ex-
tIeme d method of pacification pending the
establishment of civil organization.
The dispatch containing the Funston
story states that the American soldiers have
been greatly incensed of late by the mutiIa-
tion Of the bodies of those who have been
killed by the insurgents. and are ready for

deprecated and all suggestions of cruel
practices Will be relentlessly suppressed.

Memorial Bridge and Avenue Sites.

1t is to be hoped that the Memorial bridge
project will be considered by Congress
arart from any thought of the construction
of an avenue of approach to the Washing
ton end The two schemes, this now in
hand and that recently proposed in con-
nection with the capital centennial, of
great street cut through the Mall. are en-
tirely separate. The former has been under
consideration for several years. Its princi-
pie is virtually established The only ques-
ticns remaining relate to the character of
the design and the cost of the work The
Centennial avenue project is new, unstudied,
unindorsed by the community and open to
very serious objections. There will be
plenty of time to think about providing
avenues of approach to the bridge while
that structure is under way. 1t will doubt
less consume several seasons In the COM
pletion. and while the work is in progress
the issue over the Mall drive can be venti-
lated and adjusted.
But meanwhile there Is every reason why
the capital builders should go ahead with
the plan to provide land now for the erec-
ton OF future public buildings. A few
weeks ago this matter was uppermost in
the local mind and material headway
seemed to have been made toward persuad-
ing Congress of the advisability. from many
points of view, of Immediately proceeding
to acquire all the land lying south of Penn
sylvania avenue as far as the Mall for this
purpose. The Centennial avenue project
seemed to check the propaganda somewhat.

1t would be unfortunate If all the force of
opinion already concentrated in behalf of
the avenue site enterprise were to be
allowed to dissipate itself between ses-
sions. 1t would be in line with practical
achievements If Congress were to provide
before adjournment for joint commission
to sit If possible during recess and study
this site question thoroughly. going into
the details of prices and the probable cost
of grand scheme of public construction
calculated to provide for the needs Of the
government for virtually all time to come.
Such commission, clothed with power to
report and inspired with desire 10 achieve
something tangible, could doubtless secure
legislation next winter. What seems to be
needed just now is a definite initiative.
The Memorial bridge plans may perhaps
call attention to the matter Of beautifying
the capital sufficiently to supply this initia-
tive at once

The latest name mentioned in connection
with the democratic nomination for the vice
presidency is that of Ex-Governor Pattlson
of Pennsylvania. His is the sixth name now
under consideration. SUizer. Williams, Bel
mont. Shivcly. Daniel. and Pattison Eacn
is favurably regarded by his admirers. and
pressed for consideration with more or less
edrneStne<S.
The. list. it will be observed, strengthens
as it lcugthens. Mr.. Pattison has much to
recommend him in the way Of experience
and personal deserts. He knows public men
and public policies He is a man of clean
life and high social position. He commands
the confidence of the business world at
home. But he is not in sympathy with Mr.
Bryan He is both sound money man and
an expansinnist. His state is republican by
a quarter of a million majority and upward
Would his nomination be wise, strong and
attractive as he is as an individual?
When Mr.. SewaH removed himself from
the calculation he advised against taking
any eastern man. He thought it useless for
the democracy to attempt to carry any east
eru state. But this view is combated by
those who seem anxious about the party's
campaign fund. Will the east put up unless
she has personal representative on the
ticket? If Mr.. Bryan's running mate is a
man on Mt. Bryan own OIuer-tTueIl, tA-
treme. and wholly out of touch with the
business views and interests of the east
can enough money be raised to make
vigorous fight Is ii not necessary to con-
slider the east with regard to this very prac-
tical matter?
But the answer to this is. can the east
be expected or induced to put up for any
ticket headed by Mr. Bryan, and nominated
ON a platform dictated by him and his
friends? What will it matter about the
VICE presidency? If the ticket is success
full Mr.. Bryan will be at the head of af-
fairs, with the power to choose his cabinet,
dispense the enormous patronage of his Of
flee, and influence Congress as to legisla-
ton. The Vice President might be friendly
to the east, but what would that signify?
What power would he have beyond his vote
i'll the Senate in the case Of tie?
II the democracy chooses its vice presi-
dental candidate with the view of having
him pass the hat around during the cam
paign il will make a mistake. Those who
are unwilling TO aid Mr.. Bryan will not con-
tribute at all. If ever he goes into the
White House he will direct his adminiStra-
tfpn, beyond the shadow of a doubt. He
will probably consult the Vice President
about the Thanksgiving proclamations. as
MIR. Buchanan is said to have done. but
about nothing else.

premises. They are not required to go be-
hind the scientific reports made to them.
The belief in the prevalence of rabies In
and about the District was based upon ex-
cellent authority. There rs but little Gues-
ton as to the fact that such a disease as
rabies exists, or that 1t is communicable by
the bite of an infected animal. The muZ-
ziing of dogs certainly prevents them from
biting. Now here Is the rub: The muzzled
dog is rule the well-behaved dog,
carefully reared and closely watched. being
of value to the owner for sentimental or
sporting reasons: this dog is defenseless
against an unmuzzled dog. and thus is un-
able to prevent itself from being bitten
should rabd animal attack it. So that
muzzling dogs does not prevent the commu-
nication Of the disease from the infected
unmuzzled dogs running at large. But by
means of the order it has been possible for
the health authorities to capture and kill
a very large number of stray dogs, which,
not being worth special keeping, have been
allowed to run unmuzzled. and thus the
chance of the spread of the disease
through the tramp element of local
nine society has been steadily and greatly
reduced.
1t would seem that any agency which
leads to the elimination of two or thI ee
thousand worthless ours from the streets
and fields of the District would be vel
coined by the lovers of the dog, well as
by those other citizens who contrive to be
happy without canine companionship. The
hardships alleged to be inflicted upon the
sensitive dog nature by the muzzle is prob
ably somewhat exaggerated 1t is assuredly
far less definitive than the agony of mind
which would be suffered by the entire COM
it,-Sf
to have developed here in the absence of
preventive measure. Whatever the Senate
may do in this connection, it is clear that
the Commissioners have but executed the
law. If the law is too harsh for the dogs
1t should be amended. to relieve the author
tiles from the necessity of ordering muzzles
upon reliable scientific reports
