about our BUSINESS over sidewalks
covered with snow and slop and ice.
While city officials wrangle over the
question of who shall do the work,
or impassiOned advocates of a clean
city undertake to convince Congress
that we need money to remove the
snow. The cleaning of the side
walks is a sort of Ginx's Baby; we
all like clean streets but it is hard
TO find the person who will see that
they are clean.
Superintendent Stutler says the
duty of removing snow and ice from
sidewalks neglected by the owners
belongs to the Engineer Department;
Colonel Biddle says it is the job Of
the Street Cleaning Department. If

viii allow workers from the associa-
ton 10 use the buildings at army
posts, but subject to the control OF
commanding officers. The officers
have full authority TO regulate the
work Of the association. With all re-
spect to the association, this seems
to US TO be a wise provision. The
conditions of army life are peculiar,
and the men from West Point under
stand them best If they are not
competent to look after the best in
terests Of their men they are not fit
TO be army officers. Their authority
should not be superseded or supple
mented by. civilian organizations
There can be no objection to such
an organization doing what it can
to increase the comfort and promote
the religious development of the en-
listed men, but there is a very seri-
Gus objection TO its assuming author
ity over them. The chaplain of the
regiment, who is put in his place ex-
pressly to look after the spiritual
welfare of the men, is subject to mil
itary regulations, and there is no
possible reason for a civilian organ
ization assuming authority, and Sc
curing privileges, which the chaplain
has not
