Reclamation of Waste Lots.

Reclamation of waste lands need not be
restricted to far-off regions. Reclama-
ton work may be done nearer home. At
recent meeting of the Washington So
ciety of Fine Arts Mr.. David Fairchild in-
dicated the way With proper effort wisely
directed any waste place in the city could
be transformed from an eyesore into a
beauty spot, giving pleasure not only to
those persons Immediately responsible for
its reclamation, but to everybody else.
The purpose Of the committee of which
Mr.. Fairchild Is the chairman is to en-
bellish the waste places, to investigate
complaints against ugly spots and con-
slider suggestions for the improvement of
vacant lots and the creation of small
park areas.
What is needed is more thorough
awakening of the interest Of the citizen
body in project that promises SO much
toward helping Washington in its city
beautiful campaign. A vacant lot or "a
front or back yard presents a more in
wiling spectacle If planted in grass or
shrubbery or flowers than if Uttered with
tin cans or heaped with rubbish.

Admiral Dewey's Denial.

emphatically repudiating the anti Japanese
sentiment put into his mouth by promi-
nent German in a communication from

Dix and Murphy.

John A. Dix probably laments in his
heart the visit that political ambition
paid him last year. He was then a
happy man, prosperous in business, re-
spected by all who knew him and free
from all care save that which neces-
sarily attaches to the activities of life
His word was unquestioned every
where. His associates were above re-
proach. He moved in the circles OF
business and society with the assurance
Of freedom from open criticism or SLY
suggestion. Dix and fix, though rhym-
ing then as now. never collided.
But into his Eden the politicians en-
tered, and tempted him. They needed
him. With their eyes on state control,
with all that implied In a great state.
they picked him, first for chairman of
the democratic state committee. and
then for the democratic nomination for
governor, and he yielded.
They were not OF his kind. Some
were shrewd fellows at the political
game. others INSCRIPTIONS fellows at
any game. But they united in the
overtures to Mr.. Dix, and in the excite
ment of the hour he made no distinc-
tions. He gave his hand to all alike,
and became their leader. They made
him Governor of New York.
Since then he has known no peace.
Everybody to whom he is under obli-
cations for his Office has been trying to
use him for some selfish end. He has
not been able to do much, but what
ever ne has done has brought COM
plant from some source. His word
has more than once been questioned.
His sagacity has been denied outright,
and almost brutally. Not a few of his
prominent supporters of last year tes-
tify now openly to regret that they
gave him their votes.
The latest complaint against Gov. Dix
is that he invited Charles F. Murphy
to attend a conference at Albany. and
be his guest over night at. the official
mansion. Receive such a man at his
table? Put him thus upon equality
with the best OF the commonwealth?
So far from being censurable, Is not
this about the best and bravest thing
Gov. Dix has done? Whatever others
may know, the governor knows his in
debtedness to Mr.. Murphy. It is to the
leader of Tammany Hall he owes every
thing pertaining to his rise in politics.
Last year while the battle was on he
was in frequent and most confidential
consultation with Mr.. Murphy. And he
did not seek him out by the back door,
or confer with him in back room lest
the public get wise" as to how cordial
his relations with the boss were.
Why, then, should Gov. Dix shun
Mr.. Murphy now, or in meeting him
insist that the back stairs be used
How much franker and squarer it is,
since the Murphy Of this year is the
Murphy of last year, for the governor
to continue his openness of greeting.
even though differing with the boss
about what is best for the party in the
matter of the senatorship! Gov. Dix
may not be a politician. or a leader. but
he is no sneak.

Children and Parents.

Citizens of the northeast section Of the
city on Capitol Hill have recently been
complaining to the Commissioners and
to the neighborhood citizens association
OF the disorderIy conduct Of children in
the streets In the evening. Unless the
children commit actual acts of depreda-
ton and trespass there Is no law to reach
them. The situation is difficult one.
and yet it Is not beyond solution. The
remedy lies not in the law, though a
statute might well be framed to meet the
case. 1t lies with the parents, who in
any situation. must be charged with tho
final responsibility for the conduct Of
their children in public and in private
The citizens associations OF the Dis
trict can do a good work in this connec-
ton by fostering among the people the
sense OF public duty which should inspire
every adult dweller in the capital The
citizens duty does not end with his pay
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1911-03-18

ment of taxes and observance of the
laws. In point Of fact 1t begins at home.
in the training of the children. In the
degree that the parent discharges his
obligations to the community and to his
offspring he is worthy of respect and
admiration. He may be upright in all
his relations with men, liberal con-
tributor to all charities, a vigorous par
taker in all civil activities. and yet il he
does not train his children properly he
fails in the most important work in
trusted to him in life
1t is not enough to punish children for
overrunning regulations, for overstaying
leave. for destroying the property Of
neighbors or fighting with other children.
That Is merely the negative aspect Of
parental care. Yet, unfortunately. It is
all that many parents undertake in the
way of training and discipline. 1t is
not common enough to see fathers and
mothers devote themselves to their chill
dren as not merely duty, but an oppor-
tunity for doing good. How many feel
it incumbent upon them to make home
interesting to the little ones? How many
take thought to provide wholesome en-
tertainment and recreation, not merely
one day of the week, but every day?
The presence of rowdy children in the
streets in the evening argues the absence
of attractions at home, the lack Of
parental influence sufficient to keep them
within bounds. 1t is desirable that the
youngsters should play and romp and
work off their superfuous energies and
exercise their bodies. No advocate of
practical parental reform thinks to make
the children mollycoddles by denying
them physical freedom. But the happy
medium between rigid restraint and IL
cense can be found by any person of
common sense who looks upon his child
as a charge and a. future representative
in the community, and who recognizes
that 1t is his duty not simply to feed and
clothe and shelter and in an elementary
manner to educate the youngster. but to
fnstill into his mind the principles of
right dealing with all others.
While Washington is waiting for a cur
few law why not try a little parental
reformation? The churches can profitably
discuss this question, which reaches into
every grade of society and affects old and
young alike. The civic organizations can

bears directly upon the moral health of
the community, far beyond the question
of the annoyances suffered by house
holders in this or in that part of the city.

Apprehensions.

A comet came some time ago.
We feared some deadly stroke
The days went safely by and, 10.
The comet is a joke.
The trusts we used to grimly vow
Disaster would provoke.
But those predictions strike us now
AS something of joke.
They used to say the railways would
Leave everybody broke.
But they are trying to be good.
Our fears are but a joke.
Each terror that looms up immense,
All wreathed in sulphurous smoke,
