CAIROis RECENT DEAD.

sometimes for weeks, to the serious

ways.
Certain days ought to be fixed for

The removing OF garbage and trash
presents problems In many cities; but
In Cairo there seems to have been
little or no effort made to systematic
~-fhe work and to insist upon even
halfway service certainly there
nave been no attempts TO place any
restrictions upon people who have
little or no regard for appearances
from a public point of view.
Some time ago a movement was in
augrrated by the then chief OF police
to improve conditions in this respect.
1t was started on Railroad street and
II ended there. One of the lament
able weaknesses of the movement
was a refusal by the authorities to-
recognize any difference between n.e~-
chandlse and manure. The argument
was that II was as much violation
OF law to have merchandise on the
sidewalks Or in the streets, as 1t was
I'd have trash there. The argument
was technically correct, but it was
morally wrong. It should not require
& d man Of more than average inteIi-I
gence TO see that there is decided
difference in the effect upon the com
muhity for good or evil between the
presence of merchandise in the
streets and Of manure. Nor can the
plea ne admitted that the executive
Of a city can exercise no discretion
In the enforcement OF laws, for such
discretion is exercised almost con-
stantly, not infrequently for the pro-
tection vi that which is bad for the
city; and certainly it can be and
should be exercised, especially if not
exclusively, for the promotion of that
which is good for the city, including
n the protection OF legitimate business
within reasonable bounds. There was
partial cleaning up of Railroad
street at that time, although none OF
the men against whom warrants were
Issued were ever prosecuted but the
