Fresh Air for Cities.
From the Baltimore American.


From time to time physicians and other
students of sanitation have argued the
feasibility and the ACCESSIBILITY of pump
Ing fresh air from the country into the
cities to at least dilute the noxious vapors
that arise from unclean streets, Uttered
cellars and the many other sources OF
urban odors and poisons. No economist of
this school has yet devised a definite plan
but all argue forcefully for the broad prop
osition. and the matter has been once again
brought under discussion by eminent physi-
clans. Assuredly this would have to be a
matter of municipal ownership. If there Is
one thing more than another that citizens
of nearly all types will uncomplainingly
endure it is what is called bad air. The
city person becomes so accustomed to an
atmosphere heavily laden with a Thousand
deaths, according to analysis, that fresh air
and pure would be an almost unwarranted
innovation. If 1t were forced upon him
without cost he would probably accept 1t
without much complaint, but any fresh air
company which would expect to sell ozone
as the gas or electric company sells light or
heat or power, by measure, would soon
discover that most people look upon their
lungs as proof against the worst atmos-
phere.

Vardaman to the Fore.

Gov. Vardaman attempts to give the lie

a sectional twist. He says:

millions drained out of the south. They
are using this very money We contribute IN
strengthening the clutches which they hold
on the republican party and in maintaining
their commercial supremacy of the east.

Not unlikely. the governor of Mississippi
has in mind life insurance companies or

are members of the democratic party. and

south. Then there could be no danger Of

II would be democratic politics.
The purely partisan criticism of Mr.. Nc
Call does not. 1t should be remembered. APP
ply solely to him. His view of the situa-
ton in 1896 was the view taken by Mr..
Cleveland. then President; by many Of Mr..
Cleveland's friends In high Office and by a
number of editors of influential democratic
newspapers.
OF Mr.. Cleveland it was said: Here is a
man elected 10 the highest office under the
government by democratic votes, and yet
he is throwing the weight of his great place
into the scale against the party which has
honored him. He is acting against the In
terests and the protests of the organization
whose national leader he has been for
twelve years.

bart, or. what was the same thing, of Pal

whose name they have invoked for years.
Is this not sort of betrayal of trust? Is
it not plain that they are lingering the gold

poses?

The Beef Packers Confession

There are two ways of looking at yester-
days spectacle In Chicago of the beef pack
ers standing before the bar. pleading guilty
OF violating the anti-rebate law and paying
fines aggregating $4,000. One Is that the
government having so good a case against
these men that they were forced by their
fears 10 confess. should have pressed its ad-
vantage and proceeded to trial thus ex-
posing the details and perhaps leading to
more severe punishment. The other is
that all the good to come from this pros
ecution has been derived by the public con-
fession of the law-breakers and that the
vindication Of the governments position is
worth far more than the additional penal
ties that might have been imposed
In any case. the fact remains that the
government has demonstrated that It has
u law that can be enforced against this Of
Tense. That demonstration is of infinite
value to the country at large. 1t serves
notice upon the railroad patrons that they
run a grave risk If they step over the
line. Ii Furthermore proves that the fed
eral administration Is in earnest in its in
tention 10 press It's charges.
AS for the question of Imprisonment
there is this to be remembered: One of the
defendants is old. feeble man. II one
of the four had been sent to prison all

of the threat of death. But that Is no rea-

Government Paw DAVIS.

The decision of the controller of the
treasury announced today, to the effect
that the government has no legal right to
pay Its employees on the 18th and the 3oth
or 3lst of each month will have serious
erect for time upon the business inter-
ests of this city. 1t is difficult to conceive
ruling by public official that would so
materially affect the trade conditions at
the capital The decision virtually means
that the fiscal periods heretofore ending
on the 18th and the Both or 31st must be
amended to close on the I'd and the 18th of
the month.
The controller rules that it is Illegal to
anticipate the completion of the period of
service of a government employee in max
ing up the pay rolls and certifying them to
the treasury officials in the drawing of war
rants. Not until the services have been
actually rendered can the disbursing Of
f1cers OF the departments and bureaus ap-
ply for their funds. The point Is raised
that If a clerk should die or should be DIS
missed or should resign between the certih-
cation and the payment he--or his heirs
might get one or two days pay not justly
due.
There is a very small chance of such a
happening, and in it's event there Is an
the separated" clerk or the heirs of de-
ceased employe. Technically. the ruling is
logical Practically it works great hard
ship and insures no distinct advantage to
the government. 1t will necessitate read
justment Of many financial relations For
large numbers of Washingtonians 1--we on
small margins and the lapse Of two days
must at the outset of the new system put
them to unusual straits. 1t will require a
long time to become accustomed to the new
habit of disbursements the I'd and the
18th. and there Is grave danger that many
of the government workers, unable to tide
themselves over rent day. may fall into the
hands of usurers, and very tenacious hands
they are indeed.
1t Is difficult to- imagine why this point
has been raised after many years of
harmless following of the old custom. 1t
may be doubted whether the government
has lost a thousand dollars in the form of
services certified and paid for and not rem
dered through some accident occurring be-
tween the drawing of the pay roll and the
disbursement of the money. If there were
a danger of heavy losses, if they were any
grave issue of legality if the long estab-
lshed practice were not followed in the
average business establishment, there might
be some good ground for requiring a
change But in view of the lack of prac-
teal benefit and the certainty of serious
disturbances of the city's monetary inter-
ests 1t is puZzling to know why this eX-
ceedingly small gnat of government book
keeping has caused strain in the official
outlet.
