Lights in "Show Places"

II 10 difficult to comprehend the pre-
else meaning of Commissioner Judson's
comment on the question OF the proposed
transfer OF lights from the suburban
roads TO the urban alleys Of the District.
a quoted by The Star yesterday In the
following language:
eft does not seem fair that the Dis
trict of Columbia should light up coun-
try roads just because the roads happen
70 be In the District of Columbia. No
other city would do IL. The United States
PAYS for one-half OF those lights. They
ought to be placed where they show the
most IL the money TO be used In light
ing has 10 be distributed carefully and
think the lights In these outlying country
roads ought To be taken away and put
In the show places of the city. or where
they will do the most good. so that the
tinted States. which pays half, can see
that the District Is spending this money
TO the greatest advantage"
There are two propositions In this state
ment One Is that the country roads OF
the District should not be illuminated.
The present theory, which obtains at the
capital a. well as in the minds OF the
citizens generally. 10 that the city OF
washington and the District of Columbia
are practically co-existent. Long age
the strictly urban boundary was eiimi-
mated. and IL Is today impossible to draw
the line between the city and suburbs
While parts Of the District remain IN

habitation continues 90 rapidly that the
apparently isolated and unused part OF
today becomes Q well settled section OF

A Costly and Needless Strike.

people has just been settled In New York

country. The miseries attendant upon
this fight for better working conditions

should be no effort to demonstrate to

Southern Presidential Booms.

II seems likely that the south will ap'
near at the next democratic national con-
vention in better shape and with more
power TO make itself felt than on any
such occasion since the civil war. Texas
has declared for Mr.. Bailey for Presi-
dent, and Georgia for Hoke Smith. II
the democrats carry the next House and
Champ Clark becomes Speaker and Oscar
Underwood chairman OF ways and means.
why should not Missouri add the one and
Alabama the other to the list OF southern
presidential factors? And then Kentucky
holds a state election next year. Sup
pose a democrat OF ability and attract
iveness IS elected governor. May there
not be instructions a year later for him
for President?
For forty-odd years the south has ef-
faced itself from the presidential equa-
ton. II has had no candidate or its
own for the democratic nomination. but
been contented to accept at the hands OF
its northern allies such actien as seemed
best for those allies. II accepted even
Mr.. Greeley at their hands, and, first and
last. all sorts and conditions Of plat
forms.
Without organization or aggressiveness.
southern delegates to such conventions
have played not only an unimportant but
q humiliating part. Men Of the higher
quality have been forced to fall in be-
hind Tammanyites. while men Of lower
quality have wandered about aimlessly-
from ero-cer-ee to gro-cer-i-sampling
spirits. and wondering what would turn
UP.
or course no southern man will be NOM
mated for President In 1912 Neither

Kentuckian. II started, mean that the
