Should Be No Slums.

There was much sound reasoning in the
ideas expressed by Gen. George NJ. Stern
berg in his recent address at the Y. NJ.
c. A. on the need of sanitary homes. The
work of the Presidents homes commits

There ought not TO be any slums, either
actual or relative, in the capital of the
United States. There will no doubt al
ways be sections of the city inhabited by
poor people, or by the poorer people, but
these sections ought to be. and with the
advance and enlightenment of opinion
surely will be. as sanitary as any other
section. There is no insurmountable rea-
son why a man earning the wage of a
day laborer should not enjoy as good air
and water and as much light as a man in
fairer circumstances. There is no reason
why the poor should generally live in
closer communion with noXlous germs
than the rich do.
Many of the poor are wise enough to in
sist on clean air. clean water and sunlight
for themselves and their families. They
know that these are essentials to health
and are to be had on demand. Many of
the poor seem either SO discouraged with
their lot or Indifferent to their condition
that they are neglectful of proper SANTA
ton. 1t should also be borne in mind
that rich men as we'll as poor men are too
often ignorant or neglectful of sanitation
The penalty for dirt is disease.
The poor ought not TO huddie in crowded
quarters or TO sleep in ill-ventilated or
unventiiated rooms. If any would do it,
they should be restrained for their good
and the public good. The poor man
usually wants to live close to his work. 1t
saves time and carfare. and many land
lords are careless of poor tenants. They

The Harper Case.

The publicity given by the White House
TO the Presidents request Of District At
terney Baker in the Harper case has
created the impression that the President
words were directed not so much at the
District attorney to insure vigorous prose-
cution in argument over the sentence, as
at the Police Court judge to influence his
judicial determination of the grade of
Mr.. Harpers offense. The President
action could not have been thus intended.

While he lives he will study and want
to play that game. He knows no other.
His legal requirements are slight, and
the law would not attract him. His gen
eral reading. as disclosed in his addresses
on non-political subjects. is superficial.

where will his party place him? Or
rather what place will he insist on oc-

BRYAN'S DAUGHTER
HEADS DELEGATION
Denver Democrats Send Mrs.
Leavitt to State Conven-

IN spite OF denials by her intimate
friends. there is every indication that
Mrs. Ruth Bryan Leavitt. daughter OF
William Jennings Bryan, has gone in

delegate-at-large 10 the Colorado Demo-
cratic convention to be held in GlenWOod
Springs, Col. June IS. Mrs. Leayitt has
not only been elected. but heads the
Denver county delegation.
A particularly interesting feature Of
Mrs Leavitt's election is the fact that
she was named by Denver county. which
indorsed the candidacy for the Presi-
deney OF her father, but did not Instruct
for him,
Mrs. Leavitt Is one Of the young, pro-
gressive set OF American women who
have learned 10 see the advantage 10 be
gained by a fair understanding Of pol
tiles. In England the women take pol
tiles with their tea. and 1t is probably
the example OF their English sisters
which has Influenced so many American
women 10 look into the graver questions
OF state. AT least once IN four years the
entire country is thrown into q political
upheaVal, and Mrs. LeaVitt has mani
festly come to the realization, like Mrs.
Clarence MaCkay and many other prom
inent women. that II is well 10 know

Mrs. Leavitt, of course, has a greater

Democratic nomination. Her mother is
a keen politician, and so the former
Ruth Bryan comes by IL naturally.
