The Tailors RebeI-GOOdl

The Merchant Tailors' National
Exchange is in deep water. 1t is
fioundering between the nearby
shores of American independence
and the distant haven Of tory Brit
ain. It is in session in New York,
according to the public prints, and
this difficulty has overwhelmed it as
a consequence of a proposed new
declaration of independence-to wit,
that American tailors will no longer
take their cuts and ships from their
English fellows.
Whichever side wins, the sartorial
rebels have the unqualified support
of these columns. They deserve TO
win. For the only thing the tailor
tories can say for themselves is
this:
English clothes have distinction
and individuality-they do not make
their wearers mere dummies for
the display of triumphs of the
tailor's art. Besides, we favor that
good, old British institutiOn-cuffs
on the pants"
Well, well! If that's all the craven
imitators can say for themselves,
they are hard put to it, indeed.
You bet English clothes have indi-
viduality. You can pick out their
wearer a block away No true
American runs any risk of being
put in that class unless he sews salt
bags to a gunny sack and wears the
product for a coat.
Aud what if the clothes are not
responsible for the dummy effect

to the community. AS to schools,
for example, it has cost US about
$50, 900 year for the rental of
poorly adapted buildings and half
day schools for about 1900 pupilS.
This IS matched by the situation n
the Police Department. Our day
pa,rol force is now actually less
than 125 men. 1t ought to be nearly
or quite twice that large. If the
District could control the exPendi-
ture of the money it pays as taxes,
200 policemen would be available for
day duty at the earliest moment it
coult be arranged.
But this jurisdiction is not one
where the payers of taxes control
their outlay. Our people must take
what they can get. They are help
less. That is why at this session
they are looking to Congress as sup
plants for two advantages which
their fellows of the worst graft
ridden cities of the Union possess in
greater abundance-school buildings
enough for their children, and po-
Iicemen enough for the protection
of their homes.

RObbing Peter to Pay Paul.

Congress has made the District
feel its heIpIessness in recent years
in many matters. Chiefly, it has
compelled us to sl1imp on our
schools, fire protection, and police
service in order to pay for our per-
manent improvements outright. It
seems to be hard to make District
Committeeman realize this. Our
citizens are not so much interested
in it, perhaps, as they would be if
the pressure were expressed in units
of pupil-room, fire engines, and po-
licemen on duty in streets now
passed over. But Congressman
ought to see the full Importance of
the figures in the case.
For the figures, even put roundIy,
are extremely significant. In the
past five years not less than $4,000
600 has been taken from the cur
rent revenues of the District to pay
for extraordinary undertakings
This is about half of the whole sum
spent on those enterprises, and it
represents the withdrawal in the
time indicated of about $4,000 600
from the public health service, the
fire department, the school system,
the police force, and the other
branches of the local government.
In every one of these directions
the effect has been a measurable loss
