0ut-0f-D00r Needs.

Three local street needs are sug-
gested by the spring weather.
L. Out OF the 440 miles of streets
and country roads in the District.
232 miles are paved. Fully four
fifths of the 232 miles are paraIleled
by back yards. In Washington the
back yard is distinctly an undevel-
Oped, unlovely, and often an IN
healthful thing.
Incidental to the plan of the citi-
zens' committee to improve the
front yards, It viii profit the reader
of the newspapers to SOW grass seed

brighten the view out of his rear
windows with flowers So doing will
half solve the Districts present
problem of Fairgrounds.
,. While Congress has deliberated
over District needs, the city has
been growing in the Southeast,
Northeast, and the neighborbood of
North Capitol street extended as
few cities ever grow. The 12O miles
of gravel and macaddm streets in the
District lie for the most part in
Bloomingdale and the corresponding
sections Of the Capital.
These regions have every need for

Canadian railroad and many Ameri-
can roads are in the impotent posi-
tion of taking what they can get
from the Steel trust, and thanking
their stars for no matter how little.
Icidentally, there are two aspects
of this situation which merit partic-
ular attention from American citi-
zens.
The first is that this industry,

for railroad building, is still an lin

The second is that every rail

west that many, if not most, of
their accidents are due to imperfect
steel,

POrtSm0uth'S Opportunity.

Has it not occurred TO the good
people of the city of Portsmouth, n.
H., that fine opportunity for them
to show their appreciation of the lit
erary glory that Thomas Bailey Aid
rich has thrown over the town is
now at hand? If not, it may not be
amiss to suggest to them that moth
ing finer could be done in the way
of exhibiting their pride in the most
eminent literary man they have ever
produced than by purchasing and
maintaining forever, as a sort of
museum and shrine, the house in
which Thomas Bailey Aldrich was
born, in which he passed much of
his youth, and which is the central
point of his immortal classic, The
Story of Bad Boy"
The dwelling is reported to be
still in excellent repair, and it prob
ably could be purchased for a rea-
sonable sum, as it is in what is now
an questionable part of the city.
Properly cared for and fitted up in
the old-fashioned style, with the
furniture which originally. came
from it, and which the Aldrich fam
lily would surely be glad TO return
TO its old resting place, the house
would be a mecca for literary pill
grims from all over the world.
There are few spots about which
more lovingly entwine the affec-
ton Of today's older boys who, in
their youth, were enthralled by the
wonderful tale of a boy that the
master workman weaved about this
old mansion. As we have said,
POrtsmouth's opportunity is pres
ent, and it is very great. No one
knows how far in the future such
another viii come, for Aldriches
are not born every day.

Virtue by Legislation,

People who are afraid of too much
lawmaking are always saying that
virtue can't be legislated into people,
and that human nature can't be
changed by an enacting clause.
All true. But while virtue can't
exactly be legislated into people,
there is no doubt that a good deal
of cussedness can be legislated out
of them. Human nature can't be
changed, perhaps; but some of its
meanest manifestations can be pre-
vented.
Before people get frightened at
the specter OF too much legislation,
let them learn of the accounting
laws, the company laws, the corpor-
alton supervision, of other and older
countries. Less insUlarity, more
willingness TO learn from other ma
tons experience, more realization
that in these matters we are just
starting on a road that European
countries have been travelling for
decades, would be extremely sensi-
BE and helpful just now. Every
body knows that we are going to
travel over the road; why not look
Up the charts that other mariners
have made, and benefit by their ex-
perience?

meet for Repentance. "

The railroads have suddenly and
marvelously been converted to the
policy of Federal regulation-exclu-
sive Federal regulation, that is. 1t
is a short year since they could
prove by all the books that the
whole proposition of Federal regula-
ton was utterly unconstitutional.
Now they are just as determined to
prove, by the same authorities, that
State regulation is unconstitutional,
and that the Federal article is the
only thing that fills the require
ments.
When the devil was sick, the
devil a saint would be-" The rail
roads are suffering from Indigestion
of securities and yearn for a public
confidence tonic. So they are prom
Using to be good if they are allowed
to crawl in under the Federal wing.
But Will they do it? Are they
bringing forth fruits meet for re-
pentance?
Here is the employers liability
law, passed by the Federal Govern
ment. 1t is not a very good law Of
its kind; not half so good as they
have had for many years in every
enlightened country of Europe. Yet
it is the best that could be secured
after a fight of twenty-three years
with the railroads.
And the railroads are going to
prove it unconstitutional!
We are told that the Federal Gov
eminent should assume exclusive
regulation of railroads. The rail-
road lawyers all believe it now. They
say they do. If they mean it, why
not prove their faith by their
works? Why not withdraw their
fight against the employers Habil-
ity act? If they win in that fight,
they will have thrown a great OBJ
stacle in the way of exclusive regu-
lation by the Federal Government.
! for they will have established an
important precedent against Federal
right of regulation.
This case is to come before the
Supreme Court in a fow days. The
Government has interviewed, and will
present arguments in defense of the
constitutionality of the act. It is a
very small and very unimportant
incident to Federal regulation, com
paratively speaking. 1t is a bit of
unassailable public policy. 1t is es-
tablished in the judicial systems of
the whole civilized world, in the
laws and court decisions of nearly
all the States of the Union; yet here
is presented the marvellous spectacle
of the railroad lawyers crying at
the White House for Federal regu-
lation, and then huTrying down
Pennsylvania avenue to the Supreme
Court to argue against the uncon-
stitutionality of it! Where shall
they be believed-at the White
House or before the Supreme Court?
If they really believe Federal regu-
latiOn the only constitutional and
practical plan, let them prove it by
dropping their fight against this
good and useful law.
