OBJECTS TO CUTTING
TREES FROM STREET

To the Editor Of The washington Times:
With the Chamber of Commerce. the
Board Of Trade, the Citizens Associa-
tons, other civic bodies pursuing the
Identification Of Washington. the Capi-
tai Of the Nation-with all Of tkis-we
let some one or two or three, ~ some
other number OF persons pass an ordi-
nance TO vandalize the city
We proceed 10 detract from one Of
the most beautiful boulevards Of the
city by taking Up the trees that line
the parking OF Pennsylvania avenue,
east Of the Capitol.
These are decorations that absolutely
cannot be computed in dollars and cents
They could not be replaced n the pres
ent generation az the cost of = 800 co.
and 70 let some wise Interpretation OF
some official Of some department to al
low such thing as is being done ar the
present is something 7 cannot compre-
bend.
II Is almost impossible to conceive that
the citizens of this District would. under
ordinary conditions. for moment tole-
rate such a suggestion from a citizen
OF this nation, and more particularly %
sanction such a movement
/ do not think that the English Ian
guaEe contains sufficient adjecrives 10
describe man who would be guilty of
such vandalism. believe that II
would be a lasting monument 20 our
prosperity If We would at once obtain
"a restraining order, IL such a paper is
prOcurable. 10 prevent further depreda-
uOns along this line

PUBLICITY FOR CAMPAIGN
CONTRIBUTIONS.

Only eight months remain before the
Congressional election. and the cam
paign may now be regarded as under
way Many of the members find it diff
flcult TO keep one eve on legislation
and the other on their fences at home.
At this juncture Perry Belmont
comes forward with an urgent de-
mand that the party in power redeem
its pledges to enact a law providing
for publicity of campaign contribu-
tions. He points out that the President
earnestly advocated such a measure in
his message TO Congress last Deem
Der, and that the Mccall bill making
the necessary provisions has been in
Congress nearly q year. A similar
measure, after meeting the approval
of Democrats and Republicans, was
amended TO death in the previous Con-
gress by Mr. Crumpacker, who wanted
to incorporate with it a reduction of
representation in some of the States,
and Mr.. Belmont fears that a similar
fate will meet the bill now pending.
The wisdom of requiring Congress
sional campaign committees to make
statement of the amount of money
contributed to the campaign and the
nature and amount of the expenses in
CURED cannot be questioned by any
man who sincerely believes in the
purity of the ballot. Publicity of cam
paign contributions is one of the sane
and wholesome safeguards of the fran
chise.
The present Congress has much to
do if it is to redeem the party pledges.

TAKES MORE THAN CLOTHES
TO MAKE A LADY"

IF clothes do not make the man.
they make the woman. according to
Mrs. Alma Webster Powell; a wealthy
woman Of New York, who evidently
aspires to put into practical effect
some Of the doctrines Of Mr.. Thomas
Carlyle's friend, Prof. Teufelsdroeckh.
Dress the working girl up in fine
Clothes says she, and she looks as
well as the woman of society. Put
the -Four Hundred in working clothes
and see how common and ordinary
they look"
Mrs. Powell has made a practical
demonstration of her theory. She
dressed up several working girls and
took them 10 a fashionable ball. and
she announces that they could not be
told from the other guests. Whether
mistaking the working girls for the
other guests is a compliment TO the
working girls OF 10 the other guests
depends.
''-''NN ~" At''NF fieLA ttA.AAl cDNuL
the ingenious social experimentalist is
that. while Enthusiastically a true dis
ciple Of Mr.. Carlyle's Professor OF
Things in General, her method appears
70 be just the opposite. Mrs. Powell
proposed to show the equality Of So
ciety by putting on more clothes
that Is, if society women really do
put on more. which we admit has been
questioned in sundry places-while
Prof. Teufelsdroeckh proposed quite
another and-weH, without specifying.
a more shocking thing. He was talk
ing about men, though
Dukes, grandees, bishops, generals,
anointed presence itself, every
mothers son of them, stand straddling
there, not a shirt on them"
That was what Mr.. Carlyle's fic-
titious professor proposed, and he be
lieved that for the life Of you you
could not tell them apart.
Mrs. PowelPs experiment is interest
ing, Of course, as was TeufeIsdroeckh's
proposal. But both are based upon a
wrong theory, so far at least as this
generation is concerned. Social distinc-
lions have got quite beyond the point
Of clothes, and social excellence, as well
as real worth, has got quite beyond the
mere question of belonging to the
-Four Hundred the Smart Set,7 or
any other kind of set.

WHY HE WENT AWAY.

Smith left his old position
For his health.
Went on a foreign mission
For his health.
The bank is closed, they say,
And It's debts IL cannot pay:
But he only went away
For his health.
Jones left Us In a hurry
For his health
Poor man began TO wOrTy
For his health.
His wedding has been queered
With the widow, it IL feared
But OF course he disappeared
For his health
To Reno they have vanished
For their health.
To Chile they arc baniShed
For their health.
We hope they'll all ct well
And their ma aides q spell
In the land whore now they dwell
For their health.

INSURGENTS NEED EXPECT
NO ASSISTANCE.

ThssRepublican Congressional COM
mittee is ready for the campaign
Chairman Mckinley and his aides have
evolved their plans and submitted
them to the President, who has ap-
proved THEM.
Strict regularity IS to be the order
OF the day. The insurgents are 70 get
little aid and comfort Indeed. they
WIN meet with opposition from the
Republican side. The Congressional
committed disclaims any purpose to
fight insurgents at the polls, but the
fact remains that in one way and
another the insurgents are 70 be given

pected at any early date 20 make one
