AS far as ascertained. the attitude OF
the motion picture .theater proprietors
and managers Of this city regarding the
exhibition Of prize fight films Is in agree
ment with the decision Of the Commits
sioners to prevent the display Of these
dangerously demoraIizing reproductions
of the Reno man battle. They recognize
that the exhibition of these films would
be calculated to invoke race prejudices
to a serious degree. and. furthermore. to
lessen the public support OF their en-
tortainment places. But in a few in
stances a disposition to force the issue
and test the powers Of the Commission
ers In the premises has been manifested.
while the head Of the fight picture syndi-
cate has declared his purpose to force
the films into circulation, despite the
efforts of local authorities to prevent. 1t
is suggested that IL the law is enforced
throughout the District some of the local
managers may open pavilions for the dis
play of these pictures just beyond the
boundary of this Jurisdiction. In con-
nection with this proposal 1t Is inter-
esting to note that SO far as they have
expressed themselves the governors Of
Maryland and Virginia are in hearty ac-

permit their determination to prevent

in Maryland. having authority under the
general police powers OF the state to
prohibit them on the ground that their
display would constitute the maintaining
of q nuisance. Gov. Mann's position Is
not so clearly defined. He has stated
that he will request oficials Of every
city and town In Virginia to prohibit the
showing of the fight films, having ap-

executive to invoke the law against this

Blind Alleys and Their Cure.

Washineton's most serious problem to-
day is the treatment of its minor streets
and alleys where its poorer residents
dwell in comparative discomfort and
often to the physical peril of others. 1t
has a large alley population. comparable
with the tenement population of other
cities. These conditions have developed
steadily during years of neglect until
the crowded, insanitary byways are re-
garded as menace to the moral and
physical health of the community. Par
ticularly serious is the situation in the
blind alleys which occur In many
squares. These pockets are without out
let save at one point. sometimes two.
and are veritable hiding holes for filth
and disease. vice and crime.
1t has been suggested by an Official of
the District government that these alleys
be transformed into interior courts and
recreation spaces. To do this will, OF
course. call for new legislation and pos
sibly for considerable expenditures, but
no trouble and no expense can be regard
er as too great to rid the capital of an
evil condition which is unQuestionably
costing each year a large part of such an
investment The Commissioners should
regard this proposition as an urgent item
in the list of local improvements and
vigorously press it for action at the next
session of Congress.
Under the insanitary buildings law
some progress is being made in the d.
rection Of Kidding Washington Of rocker
les and shacks where physical and moral
evils exist. Some 100 houses have been
torn down since its enactment and as
many more have been repaired. In the
alleys which are now under consideration
the owners have in the main contrived
to keep their buildings within the limita-
lions of the law as to repairs and sani-
tary condition SO that they cannot be
reached under the statute which. lacking
repairs, enables the District to remove
them as menaces and which prohibits
their replacement. To effect their elm
ination it will be necessary to secure a
new statute.
The idea advanced by Mr.. Hayes. Sec
rotary of the board for the condemna-
tion of insanitary buildings, aims at two
results, first the removal of the foul con-
ditions which exist in these blind alleys
and second the utilization of the space
thus vacated for recreation purposes.
Under this plan Washington would gain
. number Of perfectly safe and sanitary
parks for playground uses. The ideal
recreation space 10 that which is imme-
diately available to the children of the
neighborhood. To what better use could
the back yards and interior spaces of the
squares Of this city be put than for the
safeguarding and wholesome relaxation.
and entertainment of the children? II
practical benefit for the people is to gov
ern In municipal works surely the utiliza-
ton Of these now misused or wasted
areas should be sought promptly for the
sake Of the physical and moral health of

Pensions for Ex.Presidents.
From the New York World.


Although hatly asserting that he wants
no pension. Mr.. Roosevelt says that the
fact Of his having been President is
costing him 5000 a year in postage and
telegraph tolls. AS he expressed 1t to q
correspondent Of the World, ''At present
this country penalties a man for having
been President" 1t Is easy to believe
that Mr.. Roosevelt's estimate OF the addi-
tional expense imposed upon him il con-
sentative. We like to talk about our
Presidents retiring to private life. but
they can never retire to private life.
They remain public personages that the
public holds at its beck and call. and
this status entails many expenditures
that have no relation to private life.
A President OF the United States should
not be turned loose to earn his living as
best he can and meet the additional ex-
penses imposed upon him by the fact of
his having held the highest elective ONCE
within the gift Of any nation. That is
why the World has long advocated q lib
eral pension for former Presidents. It
would cost the country very little money
out of annual appropriations Of billion
dollars.

Roosevelt and Poindexter.

Naturally, the statement that Mr.
Roosevelt had pledged his support to Mr..
Poindexter Of Washington in the latters
senatorial ambition attracted attention,
and, naturally. Mr.. Roosevelt imme-
diately took notice of it.
e Mr.. Roosevelt's interest and activity in
New York politics is perfectly proper
and praisewOrthy. He is a citizen of the
state. and sets a good example in his
course Good local government is as much
to him now as ever, and by reason of
his seven years in the White House his
advice is valuable. Moreover, his party
is in straits, and needs all the help OBJ
tainable. He is well engaged in doing
all in his power to unite the New York
factions and bring everybody to the
scratch in November.
Equally clear is 1t that Mr.. Roosevelt
is within his rights and the proprieties
when he expresses himself as to the
national policies which he supported while
in Office. and which are still in process
Of development. He wants them carried
to the full end aimed at. and when he
puts his shoulder to the wheel he de-
serves praise.
But the personal aspirations Of repub-
licans for leadership in other states than
his own are outside Mr.. Roosevelt's legit-
innate sphere of activity. He should
neither volunteer advice, nor give 1t In
reply to urgent solicitation. 1t is to be
doubted if such advice would benefit the
person receiving it. Constituencies are
jealous Of their privileges. They insist
upon making their own nominations for
Office without outside interference.
In Washington there are several can
didates for the seat in the Senate now
occupied by Mr.. Piles. All are republi-
cans in good standing. and it is for the
republicans of the state to make choice.
They are competent for the work, and
the man they commission will enter the
party caucus when he takes Office. 1t Is
not for Mr.. Roosevelt or another living
across the continent to step in and en-
deavor to influence sentiment in the
primaries in anybody's behalf.
After the nomination has been made
will be time enough for Mr.. Roosevelt to
speak IL he cares to speak. Take the
situation in Indiana. The republicans
there, uninfluenced by outside opinion or
pressure, nominated Mr.. Beveridge. and
he is their candidate for senator. Mr..
Roosevelt favors his election. and can
afford to say so. The choice 10 between
republican and a democrat, and Mr.
Roosevelt is a republican. He would
probably support Mr.. Beverage with his
preference even IL the latter were not his
warm personal friend. But in Washing
ton the case has not yet been made up.
