RUFFIANISM ROUTED.

New Orleans Picayune: Recent exhi-
billions of how to punish hoodlums and
blackguards have caused quite stir in
ranks of the undesirables, and a few
more sentences like those pronounced
recently in our criminal courts will do
much to muzzle Our marauders and
teach our pimps and panders that they
must lie low if they want to save their
hides and remain where daylight can
bleach their b1ackened beings. There are
many 1echerous 1eeches awaiting justice,
and while some of them are fortified and
hee1ed with political influence, the slo-
gan has been sounded and the riot alarm
has been rung in, and they will be made
to feel that order has the floor and that
virtue has made up its mind to outstare
vice. Whipping women and throwing
carbolic acid must stop, and if the marI
hood of New Orleans is as chivalrous
as it is reported it will stop, and stop
for all time The cowardly brutes whose
deeds have brought the blush of shame
to many cheeks must be made to fear
the law and understand it.

The Russell Sage Foundation Homes
Company is building a model suburban
residence town within a quarter of an
hour of the heart OF New York. Forest
| Hills Gardens as the town has been al
ready named, was carefully laid out by
the landscape artist, Frederick Law
| Olm5tead GroSvenor Attlebury archi-
tect, has charge of the building plans
| An experienced business management
will conduct the enterprise at a fair
profit This is the first time that prop
osition of this kind has been tried in
America. England has her garden cities
and there are model towns in Germany,
| but we have yet to make the test to see
| if suburban development can not have a
district educational value, while it pays
reasonable dividends. Mrs. Sage and
those whom she has associated with her
in the foundation have been profoundly
| impressed with the need Of better and
more attractive housing facilities in the
| suburbs for persons of moderate means
|
| They have thought that these homes
could be supplied with yards, with &C
cessible play grounds and recreation ia
cilities at very little more cost than is
now paid for roof rooms in bare streets
without a strip of green in sight. In
| laying out Forest Hills Gardens Mr..
Olmstead bare in mind three important
principles in city planning; first that the
main thoroughfares should be direct,
ample and convenient; second that pure
| ly local streets should be planned and
| constructed to meet the purposes of
quiet attractive residence streets; third
that certain areas should be deliberately
set apart for the common use and enjoy
ment of residents. Accordingly the town
has two streets running straight through
it So feet wide and boulevard IFS feet
wide Local streets are not perfectly
straight for long stretches. A public
green has been formed at the point
where two main avenues divide.
Adjoining the railroad station and
forming the station square are three and
four story buildings. They win contain
stores, Offices, restaurants and in the up
per stories small MISUNDERSTANDING
apartments for both men and women.
The chief difference between the devel-
opnent here and any other land devel-
on-,,e,3t undertaken in America is that of
design and town planning. It is chiefly
in the quality of design that.a new dis
tinctive and it is hoped, educational
work is sought to be accomplished.
Study also has been given to the better
use of land from both its economic and
aesthetic view points. This is what the
Sage Foundation Homes Company
hopes to realize.
