Our Filthy Streets.

Washington's street troubles in winter
are not confined to the problem of clear
ing off the snow. Between the meager
appropriation at the disposal of the Com
rnisSioners and the sun and the rain the
streets are ultimately freed of snow and
ice after a fashion. But there is unfor-
tunately a minimum of real cleaning dur
ing the months of December, January
and February. Under a ruling of the
Treasury Department not penny of the
ordinary street cleaning fund can be used
for the removal of snow. The Treasury
is exceedingly jealous of the Districts
prerogatives on this score, and probably
an eighth of an inch of snow or ice along
with the dirt during the winter months
somebody in the fiscal offices on 18th
street would ascertain the fact and hold
up the vouchers on the ground of lille
gality. The consequence is that the off,
Gals at the District building are excep-
tionally cautious about sending out the
cleaning machines and the white wings
as long as any coating of snow or ice re-
mains on the street surfaces.
As a matter Of fact. there is more
necessity for thorough street cleaning in
winter than in summer. There is as
much dirt to be removed, and there are
fewer rains to wash it into the cutters
and sewers. Dirt that is imprisoned by
falling snow and by ice is simply held
for later release. and is then blown about
as dust readily as I'm the warm sea-
son. This dust is more potentially dam
serous to health during the cold season
than during the warm. Unquestionably
the greater part of the pulmonary Attic
tions from which Washington suffers
every winter can be traced to the filthy
streets of this city.
The Commissioners. handicapped by the
Treasury decision, feel that they cannot
venture to do more than scrape UP the
siush that from time to time oOzes out
OF the ice packs and snow banks. Con-
sequently the streets in almost every part
of Washington today are in an unspeak-
ably vile state. 1t is impossible to cross
any thoroughfare without wading through
from half an inch to two inches and
more of sIush. which, accommodating on
the shoes, is tracked into the houses and
there breeds disease
1t would be interesting TO see wr6a the
Treasury would say If the Commissioners
were to interpret their powers and duties
with greater liberality toward the public
health and less consideration for the
strict letter of the law. Certainly in such
a situation as exists in this city today
they would be justified i'm regarding them
selves as confronted by a grave emer-
gency. warranting even lawless methods
10 save human life. AS a last resort
they might at least order out the fire
department and flush the streets instead
OF waiting for providential rain to
seour the thoroughfares of the germ ac-
cumulations of weeks.

Reformation.

Busy days are lOomin' up.
The air is CROWN warm:
There's always some excitement when
We start in for reform.
One man wants to regulate
Some other mans affairs;
That other man finds men in line
To add unto his cares.
And SO it goes, until, tbs said,
With grim, satiric boast,
THE person who first said reform
Must be reformed the most
And hopes which beamed SO brightly once
In troubled mists are lost,
For New Year resolutions seem
To get their wires crossed.

A New Central" Needed

About thirty years ago an appropriation
was secured for the construction of q
high school building in this city. The
structure was erected on y street near
ath and was regarded at the time as a
fine example of school architecture and as
being large enough TO stand for manv
years without extension or replacement.
IL was occupied for the first time i'm the
fall OF 1SS2. In five years it was crowded.
Shortly afterward began the process of
division and extension, which has re-
suited to date in the creation OF five dis
tinct high schools for white pupils I'm
this city. 1t was thought at one time
that as a result of the ographical and
technical divisions the original high
school, become the Central, would be
gradually eliminated from the system
On the contrary. it has Of late years
grown until it is now seriously congested

In this country there are difficulties In
the way Of applying the process gen
orally for identifications outside OF
criminal procedure, for there Is an
American prejudice against anything
suggestive of espionage and personal
surveillance. Still the necessity Tor
some method OF Individual registration
is recognized, and a sentiment is devel-
oping in favor of the adoption OF
general plan which Will give the au-
thorities information that may be OF
the most vital Importance. not merely
in the solution of crime mysteries, but
in protecting the individual from I'M
position and fraud. Honest men have
nothing to fear from having their
identifying features recorded officially,
and they may by such means be pro-
tected from the wiles and tricks OF
swindlers who seek to impersonate
others.

Buckeye Balloting.

Scene, a court of justice in Adams
county, Ohio. Dramatis persOnae, His
Honor on the bench, and John Smith
accused of selling his vote and running
a speakeasy. Time, any day, nearly
every day. now.
"Well, Jack, old man, how about this:
You know the charges. Guilty, or not
guilty?''
"Oh. well. What's the use? You under
stand. It's an old story in these parts.
We're all guilty. Put me down as one
who trades with his fellow-man. What's
the damage?"
Under the law-don't smile, Jack
you're liable to fine, q workhOuse SEN
tence and Acknowledgement for five
years.
Couldn't you make it little light, for
old acquaintance sake"
We'll, I'll tell you. I'll stick you for
the fine and the disfranchisement, and
suspend the wOrkhouse part. The fine is
small. and YOUR income for five years will
be reduced, but you'll not be Inundated
by having to wear the workhOuse stripes.
How does that strike you?"
IF you must do something, that, sup
pose, is fair"
TRY not to come again. Jack
I'll do my best, old man. But You
know our community
Good luck
Same to YOU.
Is 1t at all likely that the conditions as
to the suffrage unearthed in Adams
county are peculiar to that county? What
would warrant the belief that a plague
spot developed there, and is confined to
that small portion Of the state? And II
not proceedings begin there? Why, now
that beginning has been made and in
terest is up, should not an investigation
be instituted on a general scale:
Gov. Harmon does not feel called upon
to take any action. He thinks the local
authorities may be trusted to do all that
is necessary. And yet they might
be assisted in some way. The legisla-
ture will soon be In session, and nothing
is so important as pure ballot. Should
not the matter be brought up in that body
for remedy of some kind? Both parties
should assist. Both parties are involved
in Adams county.
Hitherto. in Ohio and elsewhere. the
most widely advertised skulduggery in
election affairs has been perpetrated In
cities. Can it be that the ringsters in
Cincinnati and Cleveland have been out
stripped by their country cousins? Have
the boys remote from vegetables and
society" from railroads and telephones
devised and executed schemes for traffick-
ing in votes superior in effectiveness to
those of the town boys?

Congressional Reapportionment.
From the Omaha Bee.


The insecurity of party lines today
should make less difficult the task of
congressional reappOrtIonment. A great
deal is being said about gerrymandering,
but as a matter of fact there is less to
fear from its possibilities than I'm former
years when partisanshp was recklessly
Inscriptions. The mere routine of re-
apportionment involves an immense
amount of work. so that the task could
not we'll be made easy, but it should be
much more simple now than heretofore.
So far as the matter of drawing lines
with reference to political complexion
goes, it cannot be done today with any
degree of certainty. Very few districts
may now be claimed as exclusive terri
tory by any party, except, of course, in
the south. where the democrats carry
nearly everything by default and tradi-
ton. For these reasons neither the dem
ocrats nor the republicans can lay much
stress on which shall direct the work Of
reapportiOnment 1t matters little whether
the republican ma ority in the present
House or the democratic i'm the next
has the directing control 1t is a case
where the best laid plans may gang
aglee."
