notion Is gaining ground slowly that Wash
ingtons growth Is chiefly outward and not
upward, and that In order to foster and ac-
commodate this growth there must be more
and safer means of access between all
parts.
1t Is the hope of those now working for
the actual realization of the capital ideal
to facilitate the suburban development in
all directions. Those who look ahead can
foresee the day when the District Is one
continuous city. and they hope to prevent
the creation Of conditions meanwhile which
will initiate against public health and
comfort. They do not want to see dense
congestion within small area and slight

the average of density maintained through
out the District in proportion CONDUCIVE

The Question of Quarantine.

Real war between Mississippi and Louis
lana over quarantine regulations "ouio
make stirring struggle and present some
interesting points for the CONSTITUTIONS
lawyers. But maybe matters will not go
that far The climate of that section Is
warm. the present situation Is warmer. ana
parties to the controversy are the warmese
ever Gov Vardaman's normal tempera-
ture is 40 in his shirt sleeves. and GOV.
Blanchard Is full of ginger. Things. there-
fore. naturally boil but are hardly likely
to boil over We should all grieve TO see
bullets pillng their victims higher than lhe
pile produced by the fever.
There are several reasons why national
control of quarantine questions should De
absolute For one thing 1t would eliminate
local politics and the temptation to play
politics entirely from the equation we
NAV believe that in any circumstances Gov.
Vardaman and Gov. Blanchard would meet
the existing situation with energy and de-
ciston. Each Is holding a commission from
his people, and his peoples interests are
high in his mind The one for Mississippi
and the other for Louisiana wants all that
may be obtained through his influence.
But it so happens that Gov. Vardaman Is
an avowed candidate for the Senate. and
Gov R!anchards name has been men
toned in connection with the succession to
Senator McEne-y The record of each In
his present office will strongly influence the
campaign for the higher place. Here. there
fore, is chance for gliding the record
with a strong assertion of state pride and
power Gov. Vardaman wants the people
Of Mississippi to take notice that he Is
on deck. and that while he Is there Louis
lana shall not impose on them, while
Gov Blanchard Is equally anxious that
the people of Louisiana shall observe how
promptly he called down the erratic and
theatrical official who holds forth at Jack
son.
Doubtless both men mean we'll. But both
are local officials, and the present is not
local question. The health Of a wide SEQ
ton is at stake. and far more than local
business interests are involved. National
control would be supported by the amplest
means and be in the hands OF eminently
capable men, many of whom would be OF
southern birth and residence.

German proposition that the Baltic be de-

Russia, 1t Is said. the projected demonstra-

development. 1t hints at Russian feeling
