dangerous to the health and the morals Of
the lower classes and menace more or less
directly to the more prosperous members Of
the community. And the particular kind of
slum life which plaques Washington Is es-
pecially dangerous and obnoxious because
Of the character of the Inhabitants Of the
hooks and crannies. These people require
the most careful and thoughtful treatment.
Their education and uplift must be guarded
at every step to prevent pauperization. This
is no mere phrase invented to shelter the
charity worker from annoyance. 1t is real
peril. calculated to undo much of the good
work of painstaking conscientious charity
endeavor.
The Associated Charities and the Citizens
Relief Association have done great good
work in carrying bounty to the poor, In
succoring the sick, in clothing the ragged,
in retaining the children from vicious sur
roundings. in finding employment for the
idle, In encouraging the dispirited, In sooth-
ing the helpless. in infusing new spirit into
the demoralized. Year by year they have
enlarged their scope. the relief association
serving mainly as the fiscal and collecting
body and the Associated Charities as the in
vestigating agency, in accordance with
whose reports distribution Is made. Their
occasional appeals for aid have been
promptly and generously met as rule by
the community. But there is always need OF
assistance. in money and goods and in per-
sonal endeavor. There is room for helpers
Of all grades of activity. from the we'll
trained professional to the kindly volunteer
System has taken the place OF laxity and
every penny is well spent.
This latest report of the joint bodies
should serve two ends. to arouse the citizens
of the District to full appreciation Of the
vitality important work in progress. and to
awaken Congress to a realization OF the
necessity of enacting laws to complete the
work Of publication in the slums. Mr.. Ri1s'
remarks. based upon his experience else
where and his personal Investigations here,
have given particular point just at present
to this subject. Now the convincing force of
the report in hand should go far to COM
plete the process Of conviction and to start
in motion a great force for reform.

The Senate Passes the Treaty.

The lawyer and his client looked at each
other through the bars of the jail. The
lawyer was fluent. downright, and exceed
ingly confident. The client was detected

Mr.. Bailey argued for the better part of
two days that there was no law to sus-
tain the Cuban treaty. He is a bright man
probably the ablest of ali the young men
from the south in congressional life. His
friends have high hopes of him. He did his
best with the topic in hand But the Senate
differed with him very radically on the sub
jeot of the treaty. Fifty-seven senators
found abundant law to support the instru-
ment. while only eighteen appeared to sup
port Mr.. Baileys contention But one re-
publican voted with the Texan, with nine
democrats. Mr.. German among the number,
voting against him and for the treaty.
So. at last, we have the measure the
spirit of which has stood approved by pub
lie sentiment in the United States for sew
eral years. It is in ne wise political and
on that account the vote by which 1t has
become a law will add to its success. With
success it Is certain to meet. Conditions
both in Cuba and the United States are
such that the freer trade between the two
countries provided for by this treaty will
rebound to the benefit of both. Dollars will
grow into hundreds. hundreds into thou
sands and thousands into hundred thou
sands in a very few years. The harvest is
ripe, and Inducements are abundant for
reaping 1t. And, not unlikely. the section
which opposed the measure so stubbornly,
the SOUTH will in time come to share more
literally in the fruits of 1t than any other
section Of the country. ,
Cuba now has government of her own,
an invaluable market for her two leading
products. order and industry well estab-
lished within her borders. and what more
Is necessary for her rapid advancement
among the nations? Her future is in her
own hands, and the men on deck are
measuring up to the requirements Of their
high places There Is no room for uneasi-
ness as to any foreign foe. The United
States stands guard on that score, and is
fully able to render all the help that may
ever be necessary. II therefore the Cubans
do not enjoy this Christmas they will ad-
vertise themselves as a hard people to
please.

MI. Loomts on Panama,
From the New York Tribune

from the New York Tribune.
The address of Mr.. Loomis. assistant sec
rotary of state. in this city on Tuesday
evening contained q luminous and con-
vincing presentation of the Panama case,
from the point Of view OF those members of
the Washington government who are best
informed upon the subject-men, we may
add. whose Information is probably su-
perior even to that Of those who. afar from
Panama and entirely outside the domain Of
official knowledge. are evolving from their
inner consciousness a superheated anti
administration propaganda. The lawless
antics of some of the South American states
have long been an International scandal.
The forbearance of the United States has
been far greater. we believe. than any other
strong power would have exercised. It Is
high time for those states to realize that re-
sponsibility and authority are not perma-
nentiy to be divorced. If the United States
Is to extend Its protection against alien ag-
gression to those states. 1t Is at least en-
titled to more decent treatment than at
tempted holding up and having its treat
les contemptuously burked by the very
people at whose urgent solicitation they
were made, + Frs

New York.

Senator McCarren. the new democratic
boss OF Brooklyn In succession to Hugh
Mclaughlin. whose development of con-
science In the recent campaign cost him his
place. has just returned home after a visit
to Washington, during which he discussed
the coming presidential campaign with a
number OF leading men Of his party in ma
tonsl life. Asked about his trip and the
nature Of the sentiment he had discovered
here. Mr.. McCarren said: ~ noticed the
first question on the lips of western and
southern democrats was, What does New
York want?" He does not state what re-
ply he made but we may be sure that he
has been urging his friends at home since
to get together. and holding out to them
the prospect of New York control of the
next democratic national convention.
What does New York want? The candi-
date2 Why not? Why, with Judge Parker
David B. Hill. William c. Whitney. William
r. Hearst and George B. Mcclellan all
available. should not the democracy of the
Empire State supply the party with its
next leader? These are all men of national
reputation. all of them know the state
thoroughly, and why should not choice
from among them. Judiciously made. solve
the problem with which the party is wres-
thing?
And what does New York want In the
way of a platform? II she is to have the
candidate she must fit him with a deliver
ance suited to the home market. No hodge
podge affair Will do for any section of the
east next year. Organism has made the
democrats Of the east exceedingly choice az
10 terms and particular as to policies. The
financial plank. It is safe to say, will have
TO be fashioned with due regard to the gold
standard. The tariff plank will admit Of a
degree of fine work" New York demo-
Gratis have never been very loud In the cry
Tor free trade. nor very aggressive for pro-
lection So that such compromise as the
two factions Of the party might after con-
suitation agree upon should serve very we'll
for New York
But how about the trusts? They will he
the hardest nut to crack. The trust mag
mates are opposed to Mr. Roosevelt. and are
reported as declaring a purpose to help de-
feat him at the polls. The democrats can
not afford to coddle the trusts But how
much OF denunciation-on paper. and not
to go any further-will the trust maenates
stand? What sort of trust plank will at
the same time satisfy public sentiment and
men OF the Morgan Rockefeller STAMP?
II Is to be seen. therefore that a good
deal goes with that simple question. what
does New York want? For one thing
What is New York prepared to do to sat
isfy those who are asking the question. and
MI them with the hope of success?

Washington,s Death Rate,

Most timely and proper is Mr.. A. r. Spot
ford's letter to The Star today. correcting
a statement which appeared In the news
columns of yesterdays issue to the effect
that "of the forty largest cities In the
United States this city has the largest
death rate" Mr.. Spofford shows by a table
that not even Is the death rate among the
negroes of Washington higher than that
among the corresponding residents of all
other large cities. For instance the NOR
tality among the colored people OF New
York Is 32.5 and In Boston 9l.8 as against
31.2 In this city. On the other hand, the
mortality among the white people Is 10.
whereas the rates for the same class In
New York. Philadelphia. Boston, Balti-
more and Pittsburg are higher.
The annual death rate OF this city, how

ever. Is too large, even though 1t Is not 80
high I'm the scale as the statement to which
Mr. Spofford takes warrantable exception
would indicate. With the broad streets and
the excellent sewer and water supply sys-
TENS. the numerous shade trees. the good
pavements. the extensive park area, and
the other facilities for cleanly living, the
capitals health should be superior and the
morbidity and mortality rates lower. From
year to year efforts are made to realize this
IDEAL. and just now the attempt to secure
helpful laws from Congress to reinforce
the hands Of the Commissioners has re-
ceived new impetus
