NEW ALLEY ELIMINATION
PLAN ATTACKED.

B. Edward McCann, writing in The
Times Mail Bag" criticises the new
plan for the elimination of the alley
slums of Washington. He does not
object to the proposal that the net
damages from cutting minor streets
through the alley blocks be borne by
the District, but declares that "to
open the alleys into minor streets is
but adding to the nuisance, making
them an eyesore in addition to what
they are now, and making no improve
ment whatever"
Mr.. McCann's criticism won't stand
the test of history. A number of
minor streets have been created
through blocks containing alley slums,
and in every case almost immediate
improvement of housing conditions has
followed. The very fact that the
alley is thrown open to view from
the outside seems to work automatic
ally for the removal of Objectionable
buildings and the erection of habitable
houses.
The most striking case of this
character is found in Meal place, a
minor street running through the block
bounded by n and o and Fourth and
Fifth streets. This street was for
merly an interior alley, known as
Kings alley. Conditions in it were as
bad as in any alley slum in the city.
Today it is a respectable, healthful
residence street.
Mr.. McCann advocates the treat
ment of all alley slums by the
methods to be employed in Willow
Tree alley, where the District will
condemn the interior of the block and
convert it into a recreation park. This
would undoubtedly be desirable, but
any one who will investigate the plan
will recognize instantly that it could
never be put through Congress. 1t
will cost $4,000 to make Willow Tree
alley an interior park. An eXpendi-
ture of like sum in every alley block
in the city would probably be neces-
sary if they were all to be treated in
this manner. As there are about $50
such blocks in Washington, the total
cost of the undertaking would be
$ll, ,25O,OOO.
If it is difficult to induce Congress
even to give the District authority to
open minor streets and pay for them
itself, what chance would there be to
induce it to authorize an expenditure
of $ll ,250,OO0, either on the half and
half basis or wholly from District
revenues?

WHERE is THE OLD.FASHION-
ED AUCTIONEER?

After the season of exchanging fats
has flooded the market with golden
oak, winter draperies, and bric-a -brac,
the auction rooms take on an inter
esting activity. Thrift has an eye
to bargains, but the reminiscent mind
turns back and enquiries, What has
become of the old-fashioned auction
eer? He was a genius in his way,
and in every respect he was a law
unto himself. The facility with which
he repeated the high tide of QUOTA
tion-the mere physical nimbleness OF
tongue-was but the smallest of his
qualifications. He had about him a
native wit, spontaneity of thought,
which kept the bidders in a genial
mood, while he steadily maintained
the impression that every moment
was golden opportunity.
He could read human nature. With
one of those quick glances of the eye
he could hit upon the weaknesses of
every man and woman gathered in the
struggling, neck-craning circle. The
gift of blarney, too, was his. There
was none of that sarcasm and i'm
patience with which the matter of
fact auctioneer of today drops surly
remark that the man on the left
makes more noise and buys less than
any man in town. On the contrary
the old-fashioned auctioneer made sly
illusions to the effect that "this lovely
solid nickel plated clock, imported
from Connecticut-which will run
eight days without winding-Heaven
knows how long if you wind it's
cheap at half the price. What says the
lady with the pretty blue eyes-do
hear the half? Who'll give me the
seventy-fvef" And the lady with the
pretty blue eyes, after bidding against
herself for half an hour, goes away
with the timepiece which she cherishes
as an heirloom-about the only thing it
was good for. His piquant stories and
ready repartee made an auction as
good as play. The sign of the red
flag was more alluring than three
sheet poster. Yorick would have en-
We'd him.
Where has he gone! Has anyone
seen him of latef Some of his anxious
friends, who once were younger, would
bid thrice the market value on any
thing he might offer just to hear his
CHEEKY voice again.

PRESIDENTIAL PRIMARIES IN
The DISTRICT.

Everybody remembers the story of
the old lady, who, when she invited
her unexpected guests to sit down to
dinner, waved her hand toward the
viands spread before them and said:
"It's very good, what there is of it."
That was a long time ago, but the
story could very properly be given
local application today by citizens of
the District, whom Senator Joseph L.
Bristow of Kansas has invited to his
presidential primary dinner. His bill
giving Washingtonians direct prim-
ary on nominations of President and
Vice President and in election of ma
tional committeeman and delegates to
national conventions is Every good
what there is of it." 1t would require
considerable stretching of facts, how
ever, to interpret the measure as the
first step toward local self-govern-
ment. 1t has nothing whatever to dc
with the administration of the affairs
of the municipality.
The District of Columbia already
has representation in the national con,
ventions. The election of delegates
however, is purely an informal, un.
official proceeding. 1t is not regulated
by law. Senator Bristow's bill would
throw about this local election all the
protection and restriction that hedges
general elections and primary elec-
tions in the various States. 1t goes
one step further. 1t would give the
citizens opportunity to cast their bal
LOTS direct for the nomination of can
didates for President and Vice Presi-
dent. Provision is also made in the
bill for expressing second choice for
President and Vice President. Such
an election. would bind the delegates
to work for the nomination of the
candidates favored by the voters.
Although the citizens of the District
would have no chance to vote for
The Washington times., 1911-05-12

President and Vice President in the
general election following the national
conventions, they are entitled 10 every
necessary legal protection while par
ticipating in the business of nomi-
mating candidates. They are going to
participate anyway, as they have in
the past; the quadrennial election in
the District is fixed institution. The
Bristow bill merely recognizes and
legalizes its existence.
The establishment of legal, presi-
Dental primaries in Washington
would also exert a wholesome infiu-
ence in fastening the day when the
various States would enact legislation
giving the voters the right to express
themselves on candidates for nomi-
nation for President and Vice Presi-
dent.

remarks clearly shows that he is Re-

Yet, strangely enough, the Senator IN

therefore, have no chance Of re-elec-

The fact is that the Senator has two
bitter feelings, one or them against tne
Republican Senators who favor reci-
procity. To crafty that bitterness, he
predicts universal party ruin and his
own defeat. See what your accursed
reciprocity will do to the party! The
other bitterness is against reciprocity
itself. To crafty that bitterness he pro-
duces his misspelled letters as PROOF
Of the uprising of the people against
reciprocity. The two don't hitch.
Perhaps, after all, the Senator brought
out these misspelled letters to onset the
comments of the press on the fact tnst
