WASH1NGTON.- Washington Is not
~ one grand succession of marble
structures and beautiful parks. There
are slums under the shadow of the
capitol that compare in squaIor with
the East side in New York. The capi-
tai slums have the advantage over
those in New York In being less ex.
tensive and in being composed of
small houses instead of lofty tene.

This district is within ten minutes
walk of the United States capitol and
has for one Of its boundaries the bo-
tan1cal gardens with their wealth of

low Tree alley, but 1t is no better and
no worse than the others. Possibly
the president mentioned only Willow
Tree alley because it was the only one
bearing a name that 1comports well

alley and Hell's Half Acre alley. These
names. with the exception of Willow
Tree alley, have the virtue of making
any other description unnecessary:
Why Willow Tree alley was so named
nobody remembers. There may have
been willow tree there once.

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 80, 1911.

One of the things that THE AP.
PEAL has always thought to be un-
wise was the manner in which rob-
berries, murders and other crimes are
mnute1y described in the daily press,
because of the power Of suggestion
that is so frequently engendered. AL
most as surely as some great crime is
perpetrated and minutely described in
the papers a duplicate of the same
is always sure to follow. For instance
the stealing Of the painting 'luona
Lisa in France few weeks ago ana
the great amount of newspaper pub
licity that was given it doubtless had
very much to do with suggesting the
stealing of the valuable painting from
a hotel in Minneapolis in much the
same manner. OF course we believe
in the freedom of the press but when
publications are more likely to do
harm than good it would better be
left unpublished. A few days ago two
boys aged Is undertook to lynch a
13-year old boy near Wilkes-Barre,
Pa, and but for the fact that their
victim, who had been bound hand ana
foot, was discovered in time to
be revived, would have succeeced.
Now, there is no doubt that they were
following suggestions which they had

the typhoid inoculation in wiping out
