ONE THING THE PROGRESSINEs
WILL DO.

(From the New York Mail Prog)
1t is a good idea of Colonel Roosovet's
to make Washington a model city-instead
vf model of graft as 1t has certainly
been at times, under the old parties,
The capital of the nation is directly un-
der the authority of Congress. Congress
can make of it the norm of everything
that is desirable. 1t can render the capt.
tai city an example of social justice for
the country and for the world if it will
But Congress. controlled by the old in
terests, has heretofore been quite unwill-
ing to see an example of public welfare
set anywhere. The people may want these
things too much, if it has an object lesson
Of the sort.
At all events, Washington has too often
been a model of corruption. and evil, and
vice, instead Of an example % the good.
There are no sums worse than the slums
of Washington. Vast fortunes have been
made in real estate there by senators and
representatives through foreknowledge Of
the opening OF new avenues and the de-
velopment of sections, Vice has been
officially protected. The Progressive party
will end all this, and will make of WASH
ington a city set on a hill, giving light to-
the whole country.
