SATURDAY. NOVEMBER %, 1913.
Another Precedent Broken.

The democratic companionableness
of President Wilson, who strolls non
chalantly from the White House to a
so-cent seat in the pit of vaudeville
theater, stands out in sharp contrast
with his ending of the ancient cere-
monials through which the, Presidents,
as Mayors of Washington, have been
wont to greet their constituents of the
municipality. Mr. Wilson shocked the
people of the Capital by requesting that
the inaugural ball be omitted from the
program of his own Inauguration.
Now he has announced that the Gus
tom, as old as the present Capital itself,
of receiving the people OF the District
at the White House on New Years
Day will be omitted next year. and to
that announcement may be pertinently
appended INFORMATION tending to show
that President Wilson will not hold
a public reception on any other New
Years Day he may be in the White
House.
While there seems a contrast in Mr..
Wilson's daily conduct and his appar-
ent avoidance OF public demonstration
in his favor, there i no real opposi-
ton Mr.. Wilson. deprecating balls
and receptions, is not really rebufing
the efforts of his fellow-citizenS in the
Capital 10 be friendly, but decrying
modestly their endeavors to do him
honor. For all that he has broken two
old precedents. whereby residents OF
the District had been used to express
their good will toward their chief
ruler. he has not displayed any ''offish-
ness While he summed formal trib-
ute OF approval. he mingled with the
people on the street, at church, at the
baseball game. at the theater, at the
moving pictures. He has been truly
neighborly in his manner, and in his
attitude toward affairs of his present
home town" he has evinced truly
personal interest.
The people of the District should,
therefore. take no umbrage at the
Presidents announcement that another
old time of commingling between the
Chief Executive and the residents of
me Capital has been crossed off the
White House calendar. In the case
OF the next New Years Day recep-
ton, especially. there are mitigating
circumstances. Mr. Wilson, at whose
persistency the stanchest OF his col
leagues on the Hill have fretted, has
worked harder than any one else. He
has had no vacation. The Christmas
recess OF Congress will afford him his
only opportunity for rest. Everybody
will be glad to see him take it. If,
in the future, New Years Day con-
tinues to be dies non in popular So
ciety. the President can take the good
will of his people for granted. and the
people can do likewise as to the Presi-
dent.
The people who heard with disap-
pointment of the calling off of the in
augural ball are today only eight
months and eighteen days older, hard
ly any richer or poorer, wiser or more
foolish, than they were March T. They
may equally we'll survive the calling off
of the New Years Day reception.

give an illustration of how the alleys of
the city are treated and to what extent
they are cleaned. There is an alley in
square $50 Southwest, in rear of lots F.
G. H, and /. This alley is about 40 feet
long and 10 feet wide. In this alley there
is now and has been for more than two
years eight or ten carloads OF ashes,
dead rats. cats, hens, and other filth
piled up from one foot to sixteen inches
deep. Garbage for the past six weeks
has been thrown there and not collected.
The city has not cleaned this alley for
more than fve years. or since 1 gave

six years ago. When I owned the land

filthy condition. This is a fair sample of
the treatment received by the property
owners of Washington. At least. such
has been the case in the past. Having
no voice, no vote, with officials all ap-
pointed. all they are expected to do is to
pay all the taxes piled up against them,
no matter how wrong or unjust How
long will it last and when will IL end?
