NeLOS From the Tripod

Much less is heard of malaria these
days than formerly. 1t appears to be
generally accepted theory that the
greater blame attaches to malaria
Bad water, rather than bad air, is the
true source of the many ills that were
once supposed to arise from this
source. The air is necessarily pure,
and pure alike everywhere in its nat
ural state. The air that blows over
pestilental swamp is originally as
that which circulates about an Az
pine peak. 1t is only when 1t be-

FOR A DRASTIC SNOW BILL.
Proposed Measure to Make Every.
body Clean Sidewalks.

The Commissioners have under consid-
Grafton bill which would make 1t inn
perative for everybody within the fire
limits of the District to clean the side
walks of ice and snow within the first
four hours of daylight after the cessation
Of the snowstorm. BY Everybody" is
meant every person, corporation. joint
stock company or Syndicate, and the
scope of the bill is such that every prop
erty owner would have to see that the
sidewalk i'm front Of hts property
whether it be vacant lot, house, apart
ment. theater OF anything at all, is
cleaned of Ice and snow
Not only would the private citizens of
the town have to get busy With the snow
shovel or ashes, but the United States
government and the District government
would be called upon to do their share in
front of their buildings within the same
time limit set for the property owner
The question of throwing sand and
ashes upon icy sidewalks would be settled
once and for all by the bill. for it pro-
vi1es that if the sleet and snow freezes
and hardens SO that it is almost impossi-
BILE to remove 1T the walking must be
made safe by the sprinkling of sand or
ashes. But as soon as a thaw sets In
the property owner must shovel off the
ice. Uncle Sam must do SO, the District
must do so and the citizen must do so.
Ten thousand dollars is mentioned as
sum sufficient for the superintendent of
public buildings and grounds and the
District to take care of their part of the
work. The property owner is warned that
he will have to abide by the law or pay
the District $3 and the cost of the work
of the white wing" man who comes
around and scrapes the snow and ice off
or sprinkles sand for him.
The only mention of tenants of houses
in the bill is in the form OF those in
control of building"
The corporation counsel will give an
opinion on the matter.

the government service. though his state
ment sharply criticised the course 1t has
pursued.
Defiance of special interests that would
profit by failure to conserve the natural
resources Of the country formed a key
note Of Mr.. Pinchot's statement. He de-
clared himself to be for the plain people
and for their welfare. Though out of the
public service, he declared that he would
continue to try to help government de-
signed for the general welfare. but that

1.-The Tawney amendment Ito the
sundry civil bilD was more than
a mistake-it was a deliberate be-
trayal Of the future. The dangers
which confront the conservation
movement today must be met by
positive action in Congress.
Unless Congress acts the water
powers will pass into the hands of
special interests without charge
and without limit of time.
1.-THE special interests must no
longer be allowed to take what
they choose out Of the great prop
erty of all the people.
1.-THE conservation of natural re-
sources and the conservation of
popular government are both at
stake. The one needs conservation
no less than the other.

The first great immediate danger is

CHAT ABOUT
STREET CARS
Council Has Failed so Far to
& Get Around to Railway Ex-
tension Proposition.
"NEAR CORNER" STOP IDEA
superintendent Huntoon Restores
Street Calling in General
Order.

The council failed to get around to
the street car proposition last evening
owing to the press of other important
business The committee in charge of
the contemplated extensions is anxious
to confer fully with President Porter
of the Tri-City Railway company, who
mas been east in consultation with the
directors of the corporation, before
bringing in report to the council
anyway. 1t is believed, however. that
the company will be found ready, as
1t has been in the past, to cooperate
fully in such improvements as may be
essential to public convenience.
The "Near Corner. Idea.
The suggestions advanced by some
of the aldermen of recommending the
stopping of cars on the near cor
ner," instead of crossing the inter
secting streets before stopping is ia
vored by those of the patrons of the
street car system who have given the
subject consideration. The plan, if
put into effect, would occasion some
confusion for a while. but eventually
it is believed it would prove a much
safer and altogether advantageous
plan than that now in vogue.
Good Order Restored.
The restoration of the order that
conductors call the streets, at least,
the majority of them. will meet with
popular approval. This will be the
practice hereafter, as General Super
lntendent Huntoon has posted a notice
to that effect and today informed The
Argus that he would be glad to have
patrons of the system inform him of
any neglect on the part of conductors
to comply with this requirement.
Neglect of Conductors Complained OF.
This rule is enforced in all cities,
particularly the larger ones, and at one
time was in general force on the tri-
city lines, but gradually it has gone
out of practice, until of late, but few
of the conductors have paid any at
tention to the old requirement During
the evenings when the car windows
are frosted the neglect has proven a
great Inconvenience to passengers.
Numerous complaints have been heard
on the subject, and instances cited.
