CITY OF sQUAL0R.
Washington City Has Many Dark and
Dismal Places.

Washington, March ashin9ton
is like the mans house which was de-
scribed as having Queen Anne front
and Mary Ann back. Washington is
strong on asphalt paving and it is per-
haps the best asphalt paving in the
world but the visitor who rolls down
Pennsylvania avenue on the top of a
"Seeing Washington" electric bus does
not see Washington as it is described
by committee of the charity organiza-
tion of New York, This committee,
which has recently been doing some
work in Washington, shows that there
are some defects in the national capital
There are, for example, neither compul-
sorry education nor child labor laws in
the city. There is nothing like adequate
housing laws, though in the heart of the
city is the greatest law factory il the
world and one which has unlimited pow
er over the city.
The people of Washington have no
vote, no voice in their government. The:
have a commission which is efficient in
administration and they get their laws
direct from congress, which takes con-
siderable Pride in the city but which
overlooks some points, according to the
charity organization. Charles +. Well
er. its secretary, and Janet Kemp, &
special agent, have spent the last ten
months living in and inspecting the al
leys ard tenements of Washington.
The city was laid out in broad blocks
which have been pierced by alleys and
passages leading to covered courts. The
finest residences are often backed up by
dilapidated shanties in which the color
ed people live without the barest de-
cencies of life.
The police census of 1905 shows 49,
600 people living in 2S6 of these alleys.
To better understand the conditions, the
agents lived in them, in white alleys and
in colored alleys, and their report on
the sanitary conditions ought to jar
congress out of its complacency.
What is asked is legislation which will
result in the opening up of these courts,
their clearing out and the letting OF
the sunshine in upon them. After that,
the city wants compulsory education and
congress to furnish an adequate supply
of school buildings. A juvenile court is
| also needed.

Mayor Jones IL Confronted With /,
Very Serious Problem.

Minneapolis, March Mayor d. P
Jones is now confronted by far more
serious reform question than the one in
volving the saloon and gambling lid
This time the hungry babies and
chronic dyspeptics are concerned and
will probably raise their voices agains!
the reform because the mayor has been
asked to put the lid on the Sunday milk
business
The strongest part OF the request is
that it comes from the wife of Col
den Valley dairyman, who derives good
profits from his Sunday trade, but who
is willing to relinquish his gains for
the sake of few hours of sweet sleep.
In the rather long letter which was re
ceiyed in the mayors office this morn
ing, and which is written in German
the woman tells of the troubles of the
dealer in harmless drinks. His honor

till noon Sunday if he sshooses, and then
after arising he can stroll about the
city with no thought of evening chores
and the milking grind. He has some
thing to live for and chance to live
right.
Is not the milkman as good and de-
serving as the bartender? asks the re-
former. There are no regular snoozing
hours for him and no strolls about towp
on Sunday evening. The milking and
chores must be done, for the mayor al
lows his people to drink milk seven days
in the week. A Sunday nap would be
better than the biggest excursion for the
milkman, says the writer, and the
mayor should see that he gets it.
IF you want the everlasting graft
tude of the milkman," she concludes,
'put the lid one the Sunday milk-can
and keep it there
The letter was unsigned and written
in a fine German hand. None of the en-
ployees in the mayors office could
translate it and it was TUNED over to
James Wirtensohn, clerk of the police
court, who returned a translation in
brief

WILL NOT CUT THEIR PAY.
Rural Route Carriers Stipend Will
Not BE Disturbed.

Washington, March 1.-The following
statement has been furnished the Asso-
ciated Press for transmission:
In the matter of rural carriers pay
it can be authoritatively stated that
there is no disposition on the part OF
the postoffice department to cut exist
ing rates. On the contrary, the depart
ment has strongly recommended the adj
visibility of congressional consideration
of the subject looking to more adequate
compensation.
In the recent readjustments to com
plete county service, the number OF
routes reduced in mileage have exceed
ed the number increased and many
routes worrying in length from twenty
to twenty-three miles, have been estab-
lished. the frightening of routes in
such. Instances not being practicable
These conditions have resulted in low
ering the average pay of the carrier
somewhat.
Until the carrier service is completed
throughout the country, the average OF
carriers salaries, based upon the presen,
legal allowances, will naturally
| fluctuate from time to time as routes
are increased or decreased in length. The
estimated amount necessary for pay OF
rural letter carriers for the fiscal yeal
ending June 80, 1907, is $22,7l3,S22.
