curing cleaner and therefore healthier
CITY,.
Unquestionably the already low local
death rate can be still further reduced if
all classes of citizens in all parts Of the
District will cooperate diligently. Those
diseases that are the result of filthy en-
vironment, the accumulation of refuse
leading to the breeding of disease-bearfng
insects and neglect of the ordinary sani-
tary precautions can be extirpated by
combined effort. The city is. of course. at
all times subject to disease invasion from
beyond its boundaries due to violations
of the health laws by other communities
and people. Typhoid is brought here from
outside points where it has been con-
tracted. Despite the watchfulness of the
local authorities certain diseases are i'm
ported in the milk here consumed but
produced in the adjoining states. Pull
monary affections are contracted through
the thoughtlessness of those already suf-
fering from such diseases.
These are all preventable affections. and
it is possible constantly to lower the
rate of morbidity and mortality. Con-
slant agitation of the subject in the pub
lie prints serves an invaluable purpose to
this end. Work by organizations is ap-
preciably effective in many lines. The
endeavors of charity associations carry
on the process of education and con-
tribute valuably by relieving the distress
Of the poor. But yet much remains to
be done along constructive lines. Better
houses must be provided, especially for
the class that contributes most heavily
to the death rate. 1t does not serve to
destroy alley houses without replacing
them somewhere with well lighted and
ventilated, healthfully equipped dwellings
not too far distant from the employ
ment area. This is the greatest problem
that Washington now has to face. and
when its solution is practically approach
ed and vigorously sought the city's
health rate will rise even beyond the
high point which it has now reached.

Mr.. Wilson Seeking Light.

There need be nothing startling in the
announcement that Mr.. Wilson has in
vited Mr.. Bryan to meet him upon the
return from Bermuda. They have not
met since the election. 1t is true sue
cess at the polls was a certainty when
Mr.. Wilson visited Lincoln, but the two
men probably did not discuss arrange
ments for the coop before the chickens
were Matched And they probably did not
count on 80 large yield from the brood.
But the chicks came, and now they must
be well provided for.
1t is proper that Mr.. Wilson should
consult Mr.. Bryan. He not only owes
a good deal to him. but knows that the
Bryan following in the party is still
Very large. 1t could not be ignored
without shipwreck to the new admins
tration. Without it Mr.. Wilson could not
hope for either tariff or trust legislation
on the lines of Bryanism. And in hail
ing Mr.. Bryan as the greatest and most
constant democrat of his generation Mr.
Wilson committed himself definitely to
that ism.
We may hear the guess Immediately
that at this meeting Mr. Wilson will
offer MIR. Bryan a place in the cabinet,
But he may not. He may take a longer
time to consider the matter in the light
of the fact that Mr.. Bryan's name is
now under discussion for the Treasury
Department as we'll as for the State
Department Mr.. Hearst fresh from Eu-
rope-and the anti-Bryanites may think
too fresh-suggests Mr.. Bryan for the
financial adviser of the new administra-
ton.
Probably Nj Wilson is inaugurating
by this invitation a policy with regard to
the ascertainment of democratic senti-
ment as to both men and measures.
MIR. Bryan is simply summoned first
Other leaders are likely to follow Why
not all who are eminent in the party,
and informed as to the issues included
In the platform upon which the party re-
turns to power? Why not, in addition to
the Senate leaders and the House leaders,
men of the stamp of Mr.. Hearst, who,
though out of Office and seeking no office,
are Yet very influential in party matters?
Mr.. Wilson, while not stranger in
the circle of the democratic national
leaders. has no wide acquaintance there,
and will profit from wider. There are
several brands of democrats, and he
should know and confer with all. He
was himself once Of the anti-Bryan va
riety; and, although his conversion has
been complete, he probably knows his
old friends better than he yet does the
new. When the pilgrimages to Trenton or
Princeton, or TO both, begin, the pilgrims
will be objects of much attention, and
much interesting speculation will play
around the probable meaning of their
A4sits.

From the Boston Transcript.

From the Boston Transcript.
If the favorite recreation of President
Wilson is to be inferred from his present
purpose to recuperate from campaign ia
tigue by exercise on bike. We may wit
ness the spectacle of the chief executive
of the nation wheeling up 10th street
from the White House to get away from
the opportunities of office seekers and to
obtain a bit of fresh air in one of many
of Washington's suburbs. Mr.. Wilson will
take time that is eminently favorable
to freedom from criticism. He will come
into office when the public sentiment is
more than tolerant of President going
in for athletics That public sentiment
is by no means venerable. oEvery man
who has reached middle age can remem-
Der the time when he who was busily en-
ployed would not confess to hours devoted
to sport or pastimes. Serious men were
expected to be serious all day long. and
even to have some overtime work ahead
for their evenings.

Organizing the New Congress.

II OOeS not seem likely tndI the new
members of the next Congress in either
house will make themselves disagreeable
and threaten disorder on the subject of
committee assignments. Naturally, they
will desire and seek good places. AS do
all men worthy to be thought we'll of.
they think well of themselves. Probably.
too. the majority of these will be suit
ably recognized.
But leadership, and especially in legis-
lation. calls for experience and the old
members will. and should. profit by this.
Take the House. However conspicuous
his gifts, new member could with
benefit to the democracy OF the country
fill the speakership at this time. Mr..
Clark's long service in the House, and
his familiarity with the issues now
uppermost in the political equation.
make him invaluable in that office. He
not only represents, but understands. the
policies to which his party is committed.
As much may be said of Mr.. Under
wood in the place of floor leader His
qualifications are far superior to those of
any other democrat i'm the chamber for
the business that will be in hand. He
knows the ropes thoroughly, and has led.
No new man could show the way with
half his knowledge or confidence.
And this same thing apples to all the
principal chairmanships Seasoned men
are demanded by every consideration of
party and public safety
Take the Senate, and one finds like
situation. The important committees of
that body will not only have to pass upon
the work of the House. but cut out work
of their own. Experience as well as
ability will count for a great deal, and
old members of the majority will have
the call over the new. To put the new
over the old would be to go counter to
practice and long applied counsel
AS for the sectional question suggested,
1t has small IL any bearing on the real
matter. II in the allotments according
to rule the south gets a large share, it
will be because of her steady support of
democratic candidates and platforms. She
is always regular. Other sections pick
and choose. but she votes the label. AS
d result. the veteran democrats now in
Congress are southern men.
1t is to be considered, too, that, what
ever change may occur two years or four
years from now, there will be no change
in the south. If this Congress fails to
please. and the country turns to the re-
publican party again, no portion of the
republican majority will come from the
south. Republicans may succeed demo-
Gratis in north, east and west, but not in
the south. There the democracy will be.
as it now is impregnable. New men here
and there may be chosen, but in every
case a democrat will succeed a demo.

Sufragette Crime.
From the New York World.


If letters in street boxes in London had
been destroyed by a single suffragette
acting on her own account it would have
been a comparatively trivial matter. But
when in a score or more of places acids
and ink at a given hour are poured into
letter boxes it proves the existence OF an
organized criminal conspiracy One wom-
an fanatic might be crazy. But dozens OF
them acting in concert under a common
direction are not insane They are Grim
inals without the excuse of insanity. A
more foolish campaign the militant suf-
fragettes in England have never engineer
ed in all their career Of violence. The
government, against which their griev-
ance lies, Is not the real sufferer by the
destruction of mail-matter but thousands
Of persons, many of whom doubtless be-
lieve in the principle of equal suffrage.
Considering the care with which the at
fair was planned and executed. it reveals
an extraordinary stupidity of leadership.

Good Roads.
From the Springfield Republican.

The s5O.OOO.C0O bond issue for good
roads in New York state got by very
easily in the election, the majority of
some 10000 showing how popular the
project is. Bond issues for this purpose
have been made in more than one eastern
state in recent years, and the sentiment
in their favor is probably due to the auto
mobile more than to any other single
cause. Half century hence. the main
highways Of this country, from ocean to
ocean, will be something to be proud Of
And they will be valuable medium of
transportation.

STOCK MARKET REVIEW
Early Declines in Prices Fol-
lowed by Sharp ReCoverieS.

The most talked of topic in Wall
Street yesterday was the emphatic
statement of President-elect Wilson
that an extra session of Congress
would be called early TO consider a re-
vision Of the tariff. The first impress
sion created in the minds of traders
appeared to be one of doubt, and the
opening prices on the Stock Exchange
were dull and the tone was heavy.
Various conjectures were INDUCED IN
in the Street as regards the effect OF
the news on business, the possible eX-
tension of subjects to be considered at
the extra session in addition to the
tariff and what the stock market Woulc
do in the near future. After the open
ing stocks experienced a selling move
ment that sent prices down, and Tor
the first half hour there was scattered
liquidation. United States Steel sold
down TO a new low on the present de-
cline and some stop orders were closed
out. and for a while the sentiment was
bearish. although good buying was in
evidence at the lower figures of the
standard issues. Canadian Pacific.
which is an entirely distinct issue from
the other American railroad stocks
which might be affected by tariff re-
vision, held a strong tone, which con-
tiuued TO the close and gave it good
gain in the days transactions. In the
second hour, after losses ranging up TO
IL or more points, the bulls suddenly
gave the market a quick turn, and
some of the leading issues not only re-
covered their early losses but on the
DAYS trading displayed fractional
gains. There appeared TO be dispo-
ston on the part Of some of the big
traders to accumulate stocks that
looked technically strong. Union Pa
cifc was an exception to the ruling
weakness among the standard rails
and preserved a steady position during
the early selling and scored a good adj
vance over its closing price on Friday
Considering the fact that il was
short day and that Fridays market
was exceptionally duh. che volume of
trading was very impressive and ex-
hiDited an unexpected interest in the
market. The news Of the day from
trade channels was very promising,
