"ToWN BoOsTiNG."

The town boosting movemnet has be.
come SO general that one town gains
little more in this way from its sur
roundings than it loses to other com
petitors.
OF course this makes it doubly nee
essary to keep hustling for new bust
ness, if we would play the game and
keep up with our rivals,
But while we are soliciting new in
dustries to come here, while one town
is wearing booster buttons and an
ether is stamping its mail matter with
booster tags let us see to it that
we are not lacking in certain funda-
mental substantials Of community d.
velopment.
The NEST solid growth comes when
we can encourage cur own young and
ambitious men to start in business
and stay here instead of going away.
Every town has, and we have, such an
bilious and promising young men, OF
good business capacity.
The city that gets ahead is the city
where the men who have already Won
out are willing to help younger men
get foothold.
If just as soon as cur business men
are successful, they should settle down
idly to enjoy their money, Indifferent
to-. the advancement of the town, we
Should progress but slowly. But if
they will interest themselves in our
young men and newer enterprises serve
en- boards of directors, invest what
they can afford in home undertakings
give the benefit of their experience, nc
power on earth can stop this place
from growing very fast.
The returns from planting shade
trees and developing parks and keep
ing home grounds in fine order may
seem remote, and not of much assist
ance commercially. But in q place
where these things are carefully look
ed after, the town acquires wide rep
utation as residence town. Every
travelling man who comes here, every
visitor, scatters the report that this il
a mighty agreeble place to live in.
The returns from this source ma!
be slow, but they are very sure. An!
business man hesitating between tw'
places for a location always chooses
the attractive residence place. An,
there is constant tendency of people
to move in from the country to edu
cate children and enjoy town life, ant
they always pick attractive residenc,
places to move to.

The Alley Problem.

Sermons were preached yesterday in
many of the pulpits Of Washington on
the subject of the city slums and the
necessity OF active work to eradicate
them. Thus steadily is public attention
being conferred upon this unmistaka BILE
evil, which is today unquestionaby the
Districts greatest problem. 1t would
have been in the line of real progress If
every member of Congress could yester-
day have listened to such utterances to
get clearer view Of this situation. For
ultimately Congress must act by the en-
actment of legislation putting an end TO
conditions in the alleys and minor streets
that make for physical and moral I'M
wholesomeness. Yet, in a large degree
the solution Of this problem lies with the
people of Washington themselves, with
the owners OF property now covered by
alley tenements- This is a housing ques-
ton. There Is a demand for cheap dwell
ings and those who have limited means
will take such dwellings offered.
having regard chiefly to the rent, and
with little reference to sanitary and
moral conditions. IL better class of
houses were provided for the same rents
they would, of course, prefer them.
While few may live in these nolsome
alleys by choice preferring the close as
sociaton and seclusion from scrutiny
that the byways afford. practically all the
alley jewellers would like to live in clean
er, better surroundings. Where can they

they are rented, not by the denizens Of

ven!ent. cheap residences. In London

council of cleaning out some of the most

The Inauguration Ceremonies.

While il Is gratifying TO find President
to-be Wilson aligninS himself so unInis-
takably in favor Of q change OF the IN
augural date from March to the last
Thursday in April. IL is to he feared that
the suggestion OF public celebration on
the latter date following the taking OF
the oath at the time now appointed by
the Constitution, will not lead to prac-
tical results on the present occasion
The inaugural ceremonies as they have
been conducted for many years are all
intimately part of the administration
of the oath of office to the new execu-
tive The official proceedings ut the
Capitol. as far as the making of the
President Is concerned. are of course
simple and brief The oath Is admins
tered by the Chief Justice of the United
States and as soon as that is done the
formal part of the program IS ended.
Nothing that follows viii make Mr.. Will
son any more the President of the United
States than though the oath were adj
ministered to him in the privacy OF his
own home at Princeton before coming to
Washington. Custom virtually requires
the delivery of an inaugural address I'M
mediate.y following the taking of the
oath. but this Is an unofficial action. also
the great pubic demonstration in the
form Of a parade of military and civic
bodies escortinS tne new President to the
White House and later passing III review.
The other features OF inauguration day.
he rcccption-ball and exhibition OF fire
works are in the same way eXtraneous
manifestations of public rejoicing in
honor of the chief executive. While I'M
official and ia no sense a nece ssary part
come traditionaily identified with the
ceremonial.
If all Of the open air, unofficial, popular
demonst ratiOns were To be scheduled
apart from the taking OF the oath they
would lose their significance and their
effectiveness. 1t is extremely doubtful
whether any considerable number o. per
sons would come To Washington to par
ticipate III them. 1t. of course. would be
possible to plan and carry successfully
through SUCH a program, but il would not
be the inauguration of the President OF
the United States if separated by so much
as day from the taking of the oath at
the Capitol OF elsewhere. 1t is for that
reason that for years a constitutional
amendment changing the date OF the in
ausuration has been urged, TO give the
largest chance of element weather for
this great national ceremonial, which now
attracts the American people from all
the states by the tens OF thousands and
gives them an incentive and an Occa-
sion for visiting the National Capital at
the most significant time. 1t IS earnestly
10 DE hoped that no attempt will
he made this time or ct any time in the
future To separate the taking of the oath
from the popular ceremonies, unless II Is
assured in advance. by the adoption OF
the pending changc-of-date resolution.

capable Of staying put. and the question
would leap from all lips. What next?
For II Is to be remembered that Mr..
Wilson has hailed MT Bryan as his
leader. He once was lost in the dark
ness of Clevelandism: he now Is found
in the light of Organism. He was blind.
but now sees. He owes all by his
own admission. to MIR. Bryan. and nearly
everybody believes. that his nomination
and his election to the presidency are in
cluded in the Indebtedness.
This advice is based on the treatment
of Tanmany Hall by certain New York
democrats at the close Of every national
campaign They cooperate with Tam
many in a presidential contest, and then
turn SHARPLY, with the most sensitive
virtue. against Tammany in smaller mat
tiers.
But Mr. Wilson cannot reduce Mr..
Bryan to Tammany's level. He is neither
a CRATER nor highwayman. Mistaken
as he may Re. and as many men think
he is. on great national issues, he pos
sesses an intellectually and a personal
character tn which all pay reverence. Mr..
Wilson has sought his company and
protited by it. and would not he free now,
if ne were inclined, to turn his back upon
his creator
IL may be we'll TO remember. however,
that Mr. Bryan has signitied no desire
for a seat at the cabinet table, nor for
any sort of recognition at Mr. Wilson 5
hand. He may be as little inclined to
al cept office under Mr.. Wilson as his
enemies are that office be rendered him.
He is very popular, has a tidy bank roll.
