MAY REMOVE THE FENCING.
Plans to Abolish the PicketinG
Around Ihe White House.

The injury by the FIRE Of last Friday
night to one of the huge stone pillars
forming part of the fencing about the
White House Grounds has prompted Colo
uel Bingham, Superintendent Of Pub
lie Grounds to consider plans for repairs
which eliminate the pillars.
1t is exepcted that plans for the re-
pairs will contemplate something far
more artistic than the present fence
Comment has had it that the White
House Grounds would not suffer artist
callv If the fencing was altogether re
moved Some objection TO this may be
found, however. in the fact that the fenc-
ing allows the guarding Of the gates
against the entrance of undesired or un-
invited visitors on special occasions, when
the President wishes 10 cut himself off
from all but the favored few who have
cards of admission.

In the midst of the most complete and
beautiful millinery display ever seen at
the big store Of 5. kann, Sons e Co.
there stands a statue. all of gold OF

The crowds Of feminine shoppers who were
attracted yesterday by the spring open

We shall not be surprised il they utter vgor-
Gus protest or even invoke the restraint of the
law, against this scheme for progressively
transforming the tunnel into an open cut.
What is wanted is not any such halfway
measures of doubtful or than doubtful
utility. but a radical of the evils of the
tunnel The tunnel should he kept a tunnel.
but should be properly ventilated and lighted
and freed from the products of combustion, so
that ii will he healthful and comfortable to ride
through and will not be nuisance TO those who
live the street over il. Perhaps it would
take some time to effect such radical reforms.
But there can he no question that ii would be
far better to endure present conditions for a
few months or year longer, and then have the
proper and permanent changes made, than TO
have some halfway and ineffective work done at
once and then have the real abatement of the
nuisance indefinitely postponed.
