The Civic Christmas.

Plans for the civic Christmas celebra-
tion are working out in way TO
promise a most satisfactory community
observance. 1t is proposed to erect a
great tree on the eIlipse and to render
which will appropriately symbolic the
spirit of rejoicing attendant upon the
commemoration of the birth of Christ.
The hours selected tentatively, from 5
o'clock In the afternoon to $40. will
permit a large attendance without in
terfering with the home preparations
for Christmas. To the extent that the
space will permit practically all Wash
ington should attend, and those who
do will be given a new concept of the
real meaning of Christmas.
Washington succeeded in the COM
munity celebration of independence
day by giving a significant and beauti-
full pageant, and there is reason to be-
lieve that it can do as we'll at Christ
mastide. The committee in charge of
this undertaking is proceeding with en-
terprise and is enlisting the services of
those who have had experience in or
ganizing and managing folk festivals.
The small amount of money needed to
defray the Incidental expenses should
be easily raised by a general contribu-
tion. Ii is essential, however, to in
sure successful execution of the plans,
that this fund be provided early, so
that the committee can proceed with
confidence TO make the necessary ar
rangements for Christmas eve.

The Slum Politician.

From the Chicago Tribune.
The average alien in the United States
has poor opinion of American justice. of
our laws, and the courts that administer
these laws, according to a foreign jour
nalist who has made study of our i'm
migrant problems. Not only does the
immigrant believe, says he, that there is
one law for the poor and another for
the rich, he often is convinced that all
law Is against" the poor and that there
is no law for the rich. The immigrant,
says this writer. arrives at this con-
clusion not from reading the proceedings
in such cases as the slayer of Stanford
White. He gets his notion, or lack of
notion. OF American law and justice from
the cheap politician with whom he comes
in contact. This cheap politician repre-
sents to his foreign constituency that In
the United States the dollar is all pow
erful, and that with the aid of the dol
lar the politician can swing jA5tice one
way or the other. This foreign student
of our national affairs overlooks the fact
that many of the immigrants who have
such perverted opinion of American
law and justice come from countries
where bribery of officials is most brazen.
1t is more than likely, therefore, that their
cynical view of law and courts is a
heritage which their old world associa-
tions have left them. Nevertheless, what
he has to say about the slum politician
is extremely enlightening and well worth
bordering over.

Comparative Phone Rates.

Senator Norris expresses the belief
that the telephone rates charged in the
District Of Columbia are much in excess
of those prevalent in other cities. a fact
that is easily demonstrated if true The
public utilities commission of the District

Radio Wonders.

Tile marvels OF wireless telegraphy
never cease. Last night operators at the
Arlington station heard by means OF the
photographic currents the ticks of a clock
in Paris This comes close upon the
announcement that vocal sounds had
been transmitted by wireless from the
Irish coast To Nova Scotia, though the
sylables of speech were not distinguish
able. These concurrent achievements
suggest that the day is not far distant
when wireless telephony over the ocean

Atlantic cable had not been successfully
laid and operated. A cable had, it is
true. been dropped TO the ocean bed and
a few messages had been exchanged
when il failed. Since that time great
changes have occurred. The cable has
become ii commonplace and even the
wireless has been accepted as an every
day mode of transmission of intelligence.
Wireless telephony is a late development,
but enough has been accomplished to
demonstrate that il is a feasible means
further perfection of mechanism to make
II of practical use. The three great tow

Wilson and Roosevelt.

Former Gov Stubbs of Kansas declares
that Mr.. Roosevelt is the only man who
can defeat President Wilson for re-elec-
zion. IL is not always the early predicter
who catches the truth.
il may be that nobody will be able TO
defeat Mr. Wilson in 1916 Is il sup
posable that if things between now and
then 90 well for the democratic party,
and the country prospers, a change will
bt decreed? Why so? There are no moral
or sentimental questions now .agitating
the country Everything is business.
arff. trusts, currency. conservation, all
have tn do with very material affairs. If
when 1916 arrives Mr.. Wilson is the lead
er Of a party which during his time in
the White House has scored only sue
cesses he will look mighty good to voters
on the other hand. il the Underwood
tariff does not reduce the cost of living.
which was the great promise in its en-
actnent: if trusts are not properly shack
cled, but continue their predatory activi-
ties if currency reform fails to provide
the remedies desired: if conservation fails
To conserve; and if the general result is
confusion and depression. then Mr.. VIII
son as d candidate for reelection will be
an easy mark.
Mr. Wilson's status. therefore, cannot
bt fixed today He has just begun his
work: and some very difficult work lies
before him. The tariff did not tax him
severely He was operating with the aid
o. an old democratic cry. Swatting the
robber barons had been the party demand
for years. and Speaker Clark and Mr..
Underwood and Senator simmons. who
had uttered it o,.ener than Mr. Wilson,
Tent taIuable assistance.
But here is the currency, and presently
will follow the trusts and conservation,
demanding the full resources of Mr.. Will
son as party leader and constructive
statesman. How will he handle himself;
how handle these questions? Who may
say? The country is anxious. and some
prominent members OIL Mr.. Wilson's own
party share the feeling.
So that Gov. Stubbs may be in error as
10 both Mr. Wilson and Mr.. Roosevelt.
The former may not be the doughty
champion flushed with success and rein
forced by power now imagined: and, ii
he is not, SO doughty champion Mr.
Roosevelt Is described will not be neces-
sary TO insure the triumph of the oppo-
stion. y good sane and safe man on q
conservatively progressive platform VIII

The Stubbs position. however. is the
Roosevelt position Which is that in pro-
gressvism alone lies the hope OF the
country. and in Mr.. Roosevelt alone lies

Nor will the President be without ben
eft from the transfer of the business
from the committee room to the Senate
chamber. He. too, will be able to follow
the general debate from day to day, and
gather views hitherto unknown to him.
Not many senators have conferred with
him about the currency: but now he is

All. at any rate. who are in the habit
of speaking when topics of Importance
are under discussion.
Probably. too. the President is now in
more attentive mood than he was sew
eral months ago. He has been learning
something. both about the currency ques-
ton and about congressional procedure
He did not doubt then that currency re
form could be effected at the special ses-
sion. He was msled. as well by his
personal desires. as by the assurances of
visitors. who. wishing favors. sought to
make themselves agreeable by falling in
with the Presidents humor He knows
better today, and his experience should
not be without effect on his future
calculations There is a limit TO the
power of the executive when brought to
bear OH Congress.
The Senate may vote in January. and
the length of the conference between the
two houses will necessarily depend on
the sort of measure the Senate passes.
But if March l should prove the day for
the beginning of the new law. the delay
will cause no anxiety. The paramount
consideration is a good law.

The Alley Legislation.

BY holding back until the regular ses-
sion the bill which provides for the grad
ual elimination of Washingtons slum
alleys the Commissioners will have
further opportunity to consider the adj
visibility of including in it some provi-
sion for the construction of sanitary
homes for those who are now occupants
of alley dwellings, which will be destroyed
In the course of ten years under the oper-
ations of the proposed Law. The alley
problem will not be solved in Washington
until some mode of systematic construc-
ton is devised. There is no assurance
under the alley elimination bill now
drawn that homes for the poor who are
evicted in the course of the alley con-
demnationS will be provided on scale
meeting the local requirements and at
rentals within the reach of this class
of tenants. Nobody can be expected surely
to enter this field of restricted regu-
lated building enterprise of his own in
itiative unless some inducement is offered.
In order to prevent lapse back into the
present state of insantation and I'M
wholesome congestion after the alleys
have been eliminated and minor streets
substituted. some fixed standard of con-
struction and some supervision over rents
must be maintained by the municipal
government
1t has been proposed to amend the bill
as now drawn by adding a provision for
the encouragement of small-house build
ing in the minor streets created from the
condemned alleys by enabling the District
to finance properly organized building as
soeiations created for this purpose, under
suitable safeguards. The scheme has
been worked out to a practicable point
and offers reasonable basis OF sugges
ton for those who believe that the two
phases of the alley problem, destruction
and construction, should be pressed
member that serious difficulties lie in the
way of getting local legislation, and ii
we are to have here in the District u
system of small housings within the
reach of the poor and in strict conformity
with sanitary requirements 1T will be
necessary to go to Congress for law
reaching further than the mere wipins
out of the present slums and the substi
tuition OF minor streets in their stead. If
the provision of homes for the poor who
are now living in the alleys is not to be
ieit wholly to private enterprise with no
restrictions and safeguards as to rentals
and sanitary limitations, legislation must
be had and it will be undenIably easier
TO get it in conjunction with the eiimina-
ton bill, which now has so fair d chance
OF early passage.

Civic Bodies and Civic Welfare.
rom the New York Tribune

From fHc NV 1OFh ItlbuIc.
Every community, says a someW hat
acrid philosopher, is as well governed
as il deserves to be. The unfattering
epigram is provoked by, the notorious
neglect of many citizens TO take any in
telligent or active interest in politics
Perhaps of all important places New
York has been most the subject of that
indictment. 1t ia said that New Workers
will not take the trouble to improve their
government, because no matter how bad
that government may be they can still
make more money and get more fun out
of life here than they can anywhere
else in the world. The Indictment Il
exaggerated, no doubt. Yet it has a
sufficient basis of truth to make it de.
sirable to increase by all legitimate
means popular information on public
topics and popular appreciation of civic
interests.
