The commissioners should rise in their
might and remove these pestholes by
condemnation proceedings. 1 call upon
the splendid coIOred women of the Dis
trict to take this work in hand even more
energetically than theX have done in the
past, and spread among these backward
elements the beneficent influence of the
social settlement idea so admirably eX-
empIified by Hull House. Chicago, and
on d more modern scale by our own
..Neighborhood House in South Wash
ington. The start among US on NJ street,
soutflwe west, is a step in the right direc-
ton, and should be sustained by those
of means and influence. Who will be the
Jane Adams of the District of Column
bia? She should by all means come from
the race which more strongly than any
other needs the love, sympathy and sub
stantiaI aid that the Lady of Hull
House gives in such generous measure
to the unfortunates within her reach.

Next to the aforesaid species of the
genus homo suppose we place the tat
tier This pestiferOus character comes
in both genders-male and female, and it
is only a matter of taste or experience
which may be denominated the greater
evil. Their mischievous repetition of the
most casual conversation carries evil
where no evil is intended. They leer sig
nificantIy when describing to the hus-
band some trivial action OF the wife. or
act as if more and worse could be told
when they sneak around and pour insid-
ious poison into the ears of the gullible
and confiding wife Though particeps
criminis in some clandestine affair, the
tattler gives the secret away, but places
himself in the attitude of being the vir-
tuous one OF the party, deploring the dis
graceful lapse of his comrades, either as
To loose morals or inebriety. The tat
tiers sphere of influence is wide and his
results are deep and far reaching because
of the universal tendency TO believe the
unfavorabIe side of a story. the scaven-
the fact that this unspeakable Ieper is
always sure of his statements. while the
friend who ought to rally bravely TO the
defense is doubtful of his ground and
shrinks like craven before the simoom
of an adverse plblic sentiment. During
1903 let honest men and women refrain
from entering the ranks of the tattlers,
and refuse countenance to the pesky lot

Let us revert to the devil and his
works so to speak, for a moment. With
no intention of opening our new chapter
with maledictions or being mean, the big
gest devil modern mankind is called upon
10 face is the chronic 'knocker' in
dfviduaI who has no kind word for any
body, whose gangrened soul looks out
upon the world through darkened glasses
and who gIoats with ghOulish glee over
the downfall of his brother. He sneers
at the purity of womanhood; he denounces
the high-purpOsed minister as cOnsum-
mate hypocrite; he rails at society be-
cause il bars him; he discredits every
form of Negro enterprise from the bank
TO the paripatetic hucl1ster; he says there
is nothing in Negro newspapers and has
no confidence in race leaders; he pronoun-
ces educational systems monumental fail
ures and political parties the breeding
centre of fakirs. In a wrod the knock
err is out of joint with the times, and he
miligates against the happiness of his
contemporaries by being constantly and
forever in evidence. He is at the altar
rail taking communion, at the banquet ta-
BILE, at the bar, in the school house, in the

editorial chair, in the conference, on the
cars. in the family circle, and even in the
chamber of death, when the last sad Of

the ''knocker' does not fail to obtrude
itself. Cannot something be done during
the year of grace 1903 to cut the claws
of this monster?

President Roosevelt's message gave
forcible and proper jab at the alley
houses of Washington. They are dis
grace to the official headquarters of a
wealthy government like ours. They are
a shameful monument to the selfishness
and cupidity of set OF property-owners
who can realize larger profits from eX-
orbitant rents for tUmble-dOwn shanties
and rookeries off from the main high
ways. than from the costlier modern fat.
These houses. hidden back in noisome al
Ieys. crowded with human beings of ev-
cry age and condition, are unsanitary
and are a standing menace to the health,
moral and physical, OF the entire city.
They breed both disease and vice. The
mortality among children is something
awful and the demoralizing habits OF life
among the adults are calculated TO dis
hearten the most optimistic missionary.
Mr.. Weller. secretary of the Associated
Charities of the District, is doing
