The Local Mosquito Pest.

Ever since active work was begun in
Cuba and In some parts of the United
States for the eradication of mosquitoes in
nlalaria-ridden sections by the use OF oil
some Washingtonians have wondered why
II would not be conductive to the local
health TO treat the waters of the Ana
costa IN this manner. There is no doubt
that malaria exists in large measure In
those portions OF the city exposed to the
influence of the fats OF the Eastern branch.
Reports from the governmental institu-
tions on its banks annually show the sick
rate TO be high from this cause. The muni-
cipal sanitary reports coincide in the dem
onstration. So clearly is the truth estab
lished that Congress accompanies postpone
ment of the appropriation of money for the
reclamation of these flats session after ses-
sion with apologies and promises of per-
formance another year. There is probably
not a member Of Congress who does not
personally realize the risk which Is thus
annually being run not only by the COM
munity at large, but by every occupant
OF the Capitol In consequence OF this shame
full neglect.
OH spread over the fats would undoubt-
edly be Of benefit to the residents of the
eastern section OF the city, IL there is any
thing In the generally accepted theory that
mosquitoes spread the disease and that
the insects are destroyed by this agent
But there is unfortunately no means at
hand for the experiment. In New York Dr.
Doty of the health organization Is spread
ing kerosene over the pools and larral
breeding places of Staten Island, confident
of wholesome result. Were there a fund
locally available for such an enterprise

When Harry Miner, once beloved of lower
and eastern New York. came to Congress
he undertook to live up to the supposed
congressional standard. He employed a
valet. The word reached the East Side and
shocked the faithful. Harry was getting
too uppish to tie his own shoes and to put
on his own coat. He lost prestige and was
not returned to his seat. His fate has
been a warning TO those Tammany men
who have of late been emulating the full
dress example set by some OF the higher
leaders Martin Engle. for instance is
bent upon going to Newport for the sea-
son. His trunks are laden with lurid gar
ments He with dazzle the swells, as well
as the popuiace. He will cause the tide to
check it's flow. He will send thrills of
envy down the spine Of Bath House John
of Chicago, when that worthy reads of the
sensation caused by the Engle waistcoats
and blazers and socks. But there will be
no valet for Engle. He will take care Of
his own wardrobe. He will tie his own
knots and button his own buttons. He
will not ALLEVIATE the affections OF the great
unwashed of the East Side. Thus the
Tammany doctrine Of dress is promulgated.

Holding Sheriffs to Account.

From an outside viewpoint. the best
thing yet done by the Alabama convention
the adoption the other day of an
amendment to the state constitution en-
pGwering the governor to remove a sheriff
who fails to do his duty in defending a
prisoner against mob violence. And maybe
the best speech made in support of the
proposition was that by Ex-Governor Jones,
who treated the whole question of lynch
ing in most able and aggressive manner.
Extracts from this speech appear in an
other column of today's Star.
This amendment is pitched in the right
key, and Ii ought to accomplish good re-
suits. There is little doubt that in many
instances sheriffs have surrendered their
prisoners through fear of impairing their
chances of reelection. They would not en-
danger their popularity by taking the side
of the weak against the strong. Dependent
upon public favor for place, they had come
TO look with Indifference on the under dog.
Surrounded by their neighbors, whose
votes they would presently again be So
Hciting. they were easily induced to ne
glect their plain duty. And thus cleo
tioneering, taking the place Of conscience
In the adage, made towards of them.
The right thing therefore. was to re-
move this temptation. After the new con-
stitution goes into effect. no Alabama
sheriff will find 1t to his official advantage
to abandon, or lightly guard, his prisoner.
His office will be In peril then on the
other side of the question. He must do
his full duty by his prisoner, or forfeit
his office And 1t will be strange indeed,
If, with his interest and his pride both
sustaining him, he does not show himself
enough in earnest to make the work of
mobs dangerous and exceedingly difficult.
Still another point gained Is that
sheriffs constituents and neighbors will
be likely to think twice before attempting
lence when they know that their success
will mean his disgrace and downfall. No
sham battles will avail anything for him.
The law will require him to resist to the
utmost, and If he does, some Of them ere
certain to pay the penalty. If he does not,
he himself will pay the penalty at the
hands of the governor of the state.
AS Governor Jones forcibly points out
lynching is both great and growing
evil; and not only is the law violated. but
the youth Of the land are being brought
up IN contempt of the law. Lynching In
some states occurs so frequently 1t has al
most become a form of public entertain
ment, and all ages and classes are familiar
with. and growing callous to, the horrible
details

there would be reason to ask that 1t be
applied in those places where the disease
is known to be most frequent.
Pending the grant of an oil fund by
Congress, and the appropriation of money
for the Improvement of the river, hope Is
sustained by such announcements as that
which was yesterday reprinted in The Star
from the London News, In the course OF an
interview with a member of the Senate 8
park commission. Especial mention was
made of desire to create In the Ana
costa region a sort of Thames valley"
for the pleasure of the people. The es-
thetic features of this scheme, while allur-
ing and long dreamed of by optimistic
Washingtonians, are of less immediate in
terest to the community than the prospect
which it opens that the branch will for
ever cease to menace the public nealth
With the stream confined within compare
lively narrow banks, and thus given a
steady current, and with the wide stretches
of marsh land filled and improved, there
would be no chance for the mosquito 10
breed. Hundreds of acres which today ar
ford choice incubation grounds for the pest
would be eliminated, with a corresponding
decrease in the local supply of the insects.
Then with James creek canal and some
other menaces removed, there would De
little or no reason for the capital to fear
malaria poisoning. which has for years been
the bane of existence for thousands of the
population.
The Thames valley idea is much more
striking and permanently important tnan
the oil process, but while awaiting the de-
velopment of this grand enterprise few
barrels of the insecticide would be CRATE
fully appreciated by pestered public.

Senator Jones of Arkansas has broken his
unprecedented silence of three days by tell
ing the world what Is to happen. He says
the next President will be a democrat.
Senator Jones has had long experience In
preparing political forecasts and everybody
perhaps has an accurate estimate of these
prophecies. He has. as already indicated,
made prophecies before. 1t Is said by his
friends that his vigor is so great, his
health SO sound and his hope so strong
that he intends 20 continue his prophecies
until he gets one right. With the senator
prediction is passion il not an exact SCI
ence He says that some day 1t may be
said of him that he gave to the world ad-
vance information of a political result

The establishment Of a Photographic plant
at police headquarters is marked i'm
provement over the old method Of having
the portraits of prisoners taken at the gal
ieries The process Of carrying notorious
lawbreakers through the streets and posing
them at the galleries was unwholesome
even when expeditiously conducted. There
Is always desire on the part of the crowd
to look at prisoner, Of high or low degree,
and the old method fed a morbid public
curiosity. 1t is to be remembered, too, that
photographs are taken for the "rogues
gallery" before the courts have pronounced
upon the guilt of the accused, and that In
many cases the suspicion Of crime is un-
justified. Police methods are being con-
stantly improved and 1t is gratifying to find
Washington keeping pace in this respect
