of conduct in a recent letter to the

he says:

BCyS and the Needle.

imperative as lessons in matters OF
arithmetic and letters, once regarded
as essential
The boys OF Wabash are not
pleased In their expressions Of dis
pleasure. so be these fall short OF
riot, they VIII have a fun measure Of
sympathy from every person who re-
members the time when he was a
boy and from others who like a man
ly lad and dislike the Juvenile male
type best described as a sissy"
Tastes and circumstances create a
distinct line between the employment
suited TO boys and that TO which girls
are drawn. IL is well, for instance.

A New York paper sent to it's bu-

Connecticut"
Perhaps the correspondent honored
with this important commission did
his best, but he was only human.
Possibly the obduracy Of the depart
menU was due TO the fact that the
Secretary was away and the Acting
Secretary did not wish 10 incur re-
spOnsibility in a matter so delicate.
IL may even be the fact that no bomb
was in the place indicated, had ever
been there, OF been suspected Of being
there, was not without It's influence
The desired statement was withheld
What a blow 10 journalism!
Think of the JOY there would have
been in picturing the Connecticut as
j. would have looked in mid-air with
hole in its huh big enough for the
passage OF an elevated train. Think
of the pages Of type, each head letter
six inches high. and most OF them
red. there might have been. and then
measure the disappointment of the
editorial council as il clenched its
teeth and through them Kissed,
"Foued!"
The incident is significant. 1t shows
the process of making news. II shows
also the value OF this news when
made. 1t reveals at a glance why
there is always pretext for circus
poster announcements and impossible
pictures, and ornate but stupid fc-
ton.
Such methods have no bearing upon
the methods employed by a newspa-
per They are the methods of an
aTOciOus preteuse. that has the same
relation 20 legitimate journalism as
the plant of a cOunterfeiter has TO the
mint Yet it is a circumstance not
lacking in interest TO the student Of
human nature that there are people
who accept the deliberately fraudu-
lent as genuine, and fancy a sheet
that makes news is the product OF
normal conditions rather than the in
strument Of degeneracy for appealing

Lowering the PuQiIist.

Between the actor and the pugilist
who goes through some OF the mo-
tons OF being an actor there is war.
and no wonder.
In the recently expressed opinion of
q manager of pugilisrs. the fighter is
subjected 20 a balefuI influence when
he goes upon the stage. The actor
regarding the very presence OF the
pugilist on the stage an ahrout, nat
uralIy reseuts this addition Of insult
The pugilisJ could do the public no
greater favor than 10 disappear, since
he WON'T hght honestly. He is not
wanted on the stage, and the fact
that he is there hampers the benign
scheme of elevaung it, There is no
power that could hoist to Ioftier plane
any stage numbered with the person
ality of a pug.
That pugiism is losing its pOpulari-
~ is an excellent sign Of the times
In professional pugiIsm there is no
element OF good The training under
gone is detrimental and the whole
atmosphere in which the fighter
moves is bad and harmful There are
hundreds OF men whose calling is that

are only a remove from Migrants. and
their Affiliations are with that part OF
the sporting world that merges into
crime. When they are NOT ia actual
training they are under the eye OF the
police. Some fighters of a better
grade escape the 0dium OF vagrsncy.
They start saloons or 90 on the stage.

Do Something OF Keep Still

A few days ago The Times suggest
ed to the several citizens associations
OF the District OF Columbia that they
occupy themselves more with the af-
fairs of the whole District and less
with those of their own separate sub
divisions exclusively. The news of
yesterday disclosed a fine opportunity
for just that kind of activity. where
the strength of the whole member
snip may be used with advantage not
only for the Improvement of each
subdivision, but for the relief of the
entire community. The reference is
10 the situation revealed by the fol-
lowing paragraphs:
'Tle Commissioners have no authority TO cor
rect the conditions of which Doe complains-'
This IS the pointed and final reply which En-
.Eiueer Commission BiddIe makes today 10 q
communication recently received from Alexander
GuiEsHuI.l. OF Nineteenth and r Streets north
west, complaining against the alleged lack of
aecomH.cdaucns on the ears Of the Brighrwu9d
Railway Company.
The District Commissioners are not
10 blame that the control Of the street
cars rests in the management of the
roads instead of in the District gov
eminent, where it belongs. They did
their part last year and the year be-
fore when they submitted TO Congress
a law providing for a reasonable SUI
perVisiou OF the local street car sys-
tens and urged the two District com
mittees TO indorse II. 1t was not their
fault the bin did not become law.
All that. however, is past The sit
uation as II Is today can De vastly i'm
proved, and most citizens viii see
that the responsibility for improving
il rests with these very citizens as
sociations. II they really desire a su-
pervision OF the street car systems
which viii relieve BrightwoOd and all
other subdivisions similarly located
they can obtain it, and they need not
sacrifice a single local" interest
They have only 10 unite in represent
ing TO Congress that such a law is
needed and submit reasonable proof
in support Of that representation. If
they do not adopt some such course
as this the city viii pay mighty little
attention TO their future memorials
on the subject sent impressively 10
the District Building and published
bTiedy-in the newspapers.
