SUGGESTS SAFEGUARDS
FOR POOLS AND ALLEYS

To the Editor Of THE TINES:
wish you would make some efforts
TO have a law passed that would re-
Quire autos and vehicles of all kinds to
go very slowly through alleys. On our
streets, which have sidewalks, they
are limited by law to a certain speed,
but this speed should be greatly re-
duced In entering alleys. The reason
is that there are no sidewalks in an
alley, only a narrow driveway through
which vehicles whiz while pedestrians
must shrink TO the wall for their lives.
This alley Is often the only place many
poor, 'colored children have to play,
some of them mere babies. and their
life Is in constant danger of being
crushed out. The speed limit in town
Is twelve miles an hour, in the country
1t Is twenty miles an hour. The cause
of the difference is that IN the country
there Is at least twenty times as much
room, hence little danger. In an alley,
which Is just wide enough for a We
hicle to pass, and which has no side
walk, there Is twenty times more dan
ger than, on the ordinary street. hence
the speed limit should be reduced to
at least three miles an hour, and warn
tngs such as are placed on bridges
here and in alleys in other cities, should
be used. The entrance to every alley
should have. a placard announcing that
every vehicle must 'go slowly" The
Commissioners should see that this i'm
portant charge for the protection of
the poor Is made.
1t seems TO me that useful sug-
gestion in view of the many sad drown
ing accidents of late would be that at
the bathing beach each pool be under
the eye of a separate attendant con-
stantly. A boy learning to swim might
hurt himself. and go down even in the
small poolRunnotioed,- as the water Is. 1T
least three feet deep. This is no criti-
cism of The guards fhere-I know by
personal observation that they are n
fine set of men, but in all things there
are points which an outsider may OBJ
serve that can be improved. When
there are diving contests in the biggest
pool the attention very naturally of the
guards Is directed there. hence If it
were arranged in turn that each guard
watch one pool for a certain length of
time, 1t would preclude the slightest
of any accident.

IMMIGRANTS LOSING
THEIR BUOYANT SPIRIT

To the Editor Of THE TIMES:
There are some 10000 Greeks now re-
siding in the United States. They con-
template building a Greek city on
Long Island, wherein will be erected
a Greek Church and a Greek college
at which the children will be taught
ancient literature, and where will be
nourished the Greek rational spirit and
characteristics.
Devotion to the mother country is the
underlying motive in this movement,
but there is grave doubt of the wisdom
and desirability of the scheme.
Careful observers have noticed a
change within the last few years over
the spirit of the immigrant. He now
finds the struggle for existence here
no less severe than it was in the old
country, and with the result that, in
stead of feeling under obligations to
his adopted country re has sense of
bitterness and disappointment. The
buoyant and sangulne spirit noticeable
among the same class of people few
years ago Is now rarely met with, and
enthusiasm for American institutions Is
found wanting. A sullen Indifference to
all political questions which have not
a direct relation to their pocketbook
seems rather to characterize them.
Now, 1t Is obvious that people who
are animated by this spirit will not
very soon become Americans. As a
matter of fact the indications are that
the native population no longer absorbs
ane assimilates the immigrant with the
same rapidity and ease as 1t did for
merly. 1t would, indeed, be wonderful
If the heterogeneous hordes from all
the corners of the earth could, without
disturbance. be absorbed and assimi-
lated into the body polite
But the tendency now Is to form
communities by themselves, to keep up
their own language, tradition. and Gus
toms, and to regard the nation with Ill
will and suspicion. They exert them
selves in keeping their nationality dis
tinct and preserve it from American
contamination.
But this Greek proposition Of isolation
goes much further than any hitherto
proposed. and the United States Govern
ment should oppose its carrying out.
There is no room in this country for
the establishment Of such clanish
as the proposed Long Island
scheme.
This country offers asylum, with the
privileges and benefits Of citizenship,

kind. Mr.. Stump. the inventor OF this
valuable article, is a well-known mining
man OF Colorado. who came to the Cap
ital last fall to establish his residence
here. his health compelling him to seek
lower altitude. The trunk bed is COW
cred by a protective patent, and is a
most unique compound of sanitary con-
struction, comfort, and convenience of
adjustment for use as either OF the ar
ticles mentioned
From all points OF view there is at
the present time a pressing need for a
combined trunk and bed, and nothing
can appeal more to the travelling public,
especially those acquainted with the un-
sanitary conditions encountered in NOV
ing from town TO town. In many States
there are no regulations governing
sleeping equipment for hostelries and
rooming houses; in others the laws are
not effectuated.
For the camper the trunk is an ideal
structure, but its mission, according to
the inventor, is for the congested cities,
because the article may be rolled out
on a porch, roof. or a yard in the
open air (rainproof canopy being at
tached), and after use It may be folded
and put away as an ordinary trunk.

will do more to eliminate the white

REGULATING THE HIGHWAYS
OF THE AIR.

Ever since aviation began to reach
high stage of development lawyers
have taken a keen interest in the in
evitable growth of body of law gov
erning the rights of property owners
against the airmen who choose to fly
over their property. 1t goes without
saying that the law has to adapt itself
to the increasing complexities of So
ciety, and that the rules which gov
erned the old order of things must be
strengthened or relaxed, as the case
may be, to meet the exigencies of new
conditions.
A firm of florists near Boston has
just asked for an injunction to prevent
contestants in the forthcoming aviation
meet at Waltham from flying over
their greenhouses. If this Is not the
first, it is at all events one of the
first cases of the kind which has come
up for adjudication and the outcome
will be watched with deep interest. To
our grandparents it would have seemed
a strange doctrine that the air did not
belong in common to all the people, but
it is so apparent that serious damage
may result from the "trespass" of
aviators in flying over property such
as greenhouses that some kind of re-
strictions will undoubtedly be the out
come of this or some future action. The
question of easements is an interesting
one in all its bearings, and it will be
especially so when the rights of airmen
and real estate owners come into con-
flict. The English law has held, for
instance, that there can be no ease
ment of a fine view. "For prospect,
which is a matter of delight and not
of necessity, no action lies for stop
page thereof" The question at issue
is of course in different category, but
the gradual growth of the legal princi
Piles which are to control the highways
of the air, and to define what are such
highways, will be of great interest to
lawyers and to students of our social
relations in general.

WELCOME TO WASHINGTON,
DIR. DAVIDSON.

In common with the people of Wash
ington we extend a hearty welcome t.
DR.. William NJ Davidson, the new
Superintendent of Public Schools. w
are glad to have him with us, and We
hope he will like US ard stay with vi
for many years. Information from the
West encourages the belief that we viii
like him and that he will discharge
with credit the big responsibility HI
will soon assume in the National Capt.
tai. DR.. Davidson has made a marked
success of his work as the head of the
Omaha public school system, and there
is every reason to believe he will dupli
cate the performance on a larger scale
in this city.
That Dr. Davidson wants to come
to Washington is pretty clearly demon,
strated by the fact that he will receive
here salary $1,000 year less than he
would nave received had he stayed in
Omaha. That his work in Omaha has
been a success, appreciated by the
people of that city, is also demonstrat,
ed. He has been receiving $1,000 a year
there When the Washington Board OF
Education invited him to come to this
city the Omaha board offered to in,
crease his salary to $4,000 if he would
remain. In spite of this inducement,
Dr. Davidson is coming.
Washingtonians will sincerely regret
the loss of Mr. A. T. Stuart's services
as superintendent, but regret will be
tempered with pleasure at the knowl-
edge that Mr.. Stuart is to remain in
the school organization, as superinten-
dent of intermediate instruction, a posi-
tion which he prefers to the general
superintendency. 1t was at Mr.
Stuart's request that he was relieved
of the responsibilities of the more ex-
acting position, and only at the earnest
and personal solicitation of the mem
bers of the board that he was induced
to accept his former place. Among the
school officials who have been urging
DR.. Davidson to come to Washington
none has been more active than. Mr..
Stuart, who will do all in his power
to assist the new superintendent in
familiarizing himself with local con-
ditions and making the beginning of his
administration as effective as possible.
There is much for the new superin-
tendent of schools to do, but DR..
Davidson is understood to be fully
qualified to do it.

JOHN BIGELOW, VETERAN OF
THE VETERANS.

James Madison was just entering oI
his second term as President wheI
John Bigelow was born in Ulstel
county, n. Y. Well-nigh ninety foul
years old, he occupied his place al
president of the trustees of the splen
did new public library of New York
city, when it was dedicated few day.
ago. Between those two wide removes
in time he has lived life of varied
remarkable, and continuous activities
No other man of our day can be com.
pared to him for extent of career OF
varied activities in civic interest. He
was one of the editors of the New
York Evening Post in ls49, and after.
ward became the biographer of Will
liam Cullen Bryant, with whom he was
long and intimately associated.
Consul at Paris for three years, he
became minister there in 1864, serving
for three years, and doing magnificent
service to his country in a period
when relations with France were most
difficult.
As he had been chosen by Lincoln
for a difficult post, so later Tilden,
though Democrat, found him exactly
the right man to conduct his investi-
cation of the canal affairs of New
York, which developed one of the most
important reform activities of the Til
den regime. He served one term as
secretary of state of New York.
1t is as writer and student that
John Bigelow has done the greatest
work. He has seen the institutions of
America develop almost from their be-
ginning; and his voluminous writings
on historical, economic, and social topics
tell of the ripe experience, as well as
general learning, which so long a life
of intimate touch with great affairs
has brought to him. A humanitarian
always, he found time from his cease
less work to serve in many positions
of trust and civic usefulness. The last
of his literary works-in all they COM
prise from twenty-five to thirty
volumes-is his "Recollections of An
Active Life" of which three volumes
have appeared and he is still at work
on others.
The grand old man of American let
ters, politics, and diplomacy, Mr..
Bigelow is entering into the valley of
the shadows. He has been in failing
health since his return, a few weeks
ago, from a trip to England in search
for certain literary materials. Millions
of friends and admirers all over the
country will hope that he may be
spared to finish his last work. When
he goes the last of a generations
leaders will go. There is no other
American to be compared to him for
length and intimacy of touch with
great affairs.
