their work and to save rents and carfare
The former occupants Of the slums, for
whom these structures were designed,
simply went to other slums, to increase
the congestion there. 1t is, of course,
impossible to make person live in
certain place if he does not want to do
50. but ii is possible to give him first
chance at better habitation on terms
that will make him prefer it to his less
sanitary sium hovel that he has been Oc-
cupying. This is what the owners of alley
properties in the District of Columbia
should now he doing. and to the extent
that they are willing to forego a part of
the large revenue which these houses now
bring for the sake of making a better,
cleaner. healthier Washington. the alley
problem can be solved. without the aid or
stimulus or compulsion Of legislation.

The Tariff-Politics. and Revenue.

III mas not Deen acc -Qed as Yet Wnclner
democratic tariff revision shall be by the
schedule byschedule plan, or by a gen
eral plan. 1t has not been decided as
yet whether the work, after the form OF
operation has been agreed upon. shall be
prosecuted by cooperation between House
and Senate as the work proceeds, or after
the usual fashion. of the House going
first and the Senate taking up the subject
after the House is through.
But this much is already certain: The
bills which We're passed and vetoed by
Mr. Taft will not be sent to Mr.. Wilson.
He Endorsed them in his campaign
speeches, and as al democratic spell
binders were doing. censured Mr.. Taft
for his course, but he will not have OPP
Iortunity to set his own hand and seal
to them. His party friends in Congress
will See to that.
Why? Is not the question superfiuous?
The answer is. if answer Is needed that
the bills were not intended to become
laws. They We're tariff bills for politics
only. Their trainers and SPONSORS knew
that they would be vetoed. 1t was a
game. and Mr.. Underwood and his friends
were leading for voters.
The republicans did not Object. They
We're quite willing to SO before the coun-
try second time on the Payne law I'M
changed. At that time the peril from the
progressive bolt had not appeared. They
were counting on another tussle with the
democrats on the issue of protection fairly
and squarely presented, the Payne law
affordins the text.
But the bolt came. and il defeated them.
The election figures show nothing else.
OF course, the progresSives found fault
with the law. But the republicans in a
measure conceded that it was not perfect,
Taft had specified wool. and other sched-
ules would have been overhauled. But
proGressives and republicans alike We're
standing UP for protection, and as Mr..
Wilson was elected by a minority vote,
the policy of a tariff for revenue only
did not carry the country.
The political play then is. for the pres
ent, played out. Beginning March 4,
democratic control will be complete. In
the White House will sit man who,
if theoriSt on the tariff, must yet meet
condition. On CapitoI Hill will meet
body whose majority. though divided
on the subject. must get together and re-
wise the Payne law. Never mind if the
republicans in the House under Mr..
Mann's raspns leadership. and those in
the Senate under Mr.. Shoots. talk about
consistency. and mention the rarity of the
jewel in politics. Business is business,
and the democratic majority must do
business, even under CALLING ire of
"reminiscences and partisan playfulness.

The Red Cross Seal.
IN the Philadelphia Ledger.

The RED Cross stamp for the sea son
of 1912 is about to be placed on sale
throughout the country. and the esti-
mates of the demand for it run far into
the millions. This little emblem is now
universally recognized as one of the prac-
teal methods which have been adopted to
remind the thoushtless of the great bat
tie which is being waged by our modern
civilization upon the white plague" that
terrible preventable scourge which takes
greater annual toll of human life than
almost any other single cause which can
be mentioned The profit from the sale
of the stamps all goes to help the cru
SADIE for the abolition of tuberculosis, and
every person who buys and uses them at
this Christmas season helps thereby to
support one of the most beneficent ac-
tivities in which the world is today en-
gagged.

Every other nation except Great Britain

English is not a singing language was
