Band Concert Season.

The cool old summertime brings a
plentitude and variety of good and i'll
to the people of Washington. In them
all there is one unmixed blessing-the
band concerts.
The announcement that the open
season on outdoor harmonies of wood
and brass and snare and drum is on
is annual. expected. logical. normal, and,
we may almost hope, inevitable Yet
the announcement, like other annual
and usual things, has its thrill, and the
stay-at-homes of the Capital derive a
most pleasurable start from the spoken
recognition that the heated term is
here to be heralded officially into the
calendar with what of bare. loot,
squeak, rub-a-dub, tick-nock-nock, and
pilliwink as the band leaders deem
eNpedient.
Only those whose nerves have been
stretched to the breaking point by the
long, depicting distress OF a real sum-
mer day can know the recreatIve de-
lights that the band concerts give.
Stretched on the cool grass of Ju-
dietary Square or the Smithsonian
grounds. or the smaller parks in the
city, humanity is relaxed under the spell
of almost positively lethean music
Laborers stiff with toll, clerks. and
stenographers and office women weak
ened with warmth and worry, mothers
vexed and children sickened with heat
and its oft-attendant disorders-aIl
these find in the band concerts the
hcalthful restorative that puts the days
troubles back into the past and bids
the cool night beckon refreshing sleep

The Alley Problem.

Once again the alley problem Is with
us. 1t recurs whenever the sympathy
OF influential people is aroused over
the fact that the poor are compelled to
live amid undesirable surroundings Il
is easy enough to excite cOmmiSeratiOn.
1t Is more difficult to provide a remedy.
Blind alleys ought not 70 exist. They
are the harboring places of disease
and crime Every alley ought to open
out upon some street and be we'll ven
tilated and lighted. The cost of this
work. however. should not be almost
wholly borne, as is now the law. by
the property owners in the immediate
vicinity. The burden should be dis
tributed throughout the entire commu-
nifty, paid out of the general revenues,
and not made a matter of contiguous
assessment. If the latter course be fol-
lowed il will result in practical con-
fscation of property The amount nee
essary to eliminate only Goat Alley and
Snow Court is $4,000. while it is es-
timsted that fully 100000 will be
required to bring about a complete
transformation of present conditions.
Another phase of the problem is the
inability of the poor alley residents to
pay any considerable sum for rent.
Men and women who earn from so
cents to $3.50 a day, and who have to
buy food out of their meager wage, do
not have much left to expend upon
housing comforts. If millionaire
philanthropist like George Peabody
should build hundreds of small houses
and let them to poverty-strickcn peo-
pie almost rent free-a very practical
form of benevolence. by the way-it
would be easy to place these people in
comfortable homes. The ordinary
property owner, however, naturally de-
sires enough revenue to yield him
return upon his investment after he
has paid taxes and insurance and ex-
pended money for repairs.
And what is to be done with the
residents of Goat Alley and Snow
Court after those localities have been
renovated? What became of the two
or three hundred occupants of Willow
Tree Alley after that delectable sec
ton had been transformed into a pub
lie reservation? Who knows whether
the condition of these poor people has
been injured or bettered by the change
which was forced upon them? All these
questions emphasize the complexity of
the alley problem. and make it evident
that there are practical considerations
which cannot be ignored. At the same
time, the efforts which have been in
augurated for the betterment of condi-
tons in the alleys meet with the fullest

High Cost of Living.

To the Editor: Respecting the query Of
Andrew jackson Curtis in yesterday S
Herald anent the tariff and the high cost
of living, l nave no authority to answer
on behalf of Mr.. Underwood. and only
butt in for the gentleman's information
that the word waste, with big w. eN-
presses about all that is necessary for
a general excuse. The tariff Is one spe-
cies of waste High cost of government
in its various ramifications has the
largest percentage. Fires, both careless
and intentional, with resulting high cost
of insurance to those who don't burn, and
other reasons which we can readily call
e, mind are responsible for the high cost
OF living.
/ doubt that Mr.. Underwood would
ascribe the high cost of living entirely
to the tariff, but that 1t Is responsible
for much OF it there can be no question,
as, for instance, take the single item OF
wool. and in the person Of Mr.. Carnegie
we have a shining example of the lop-
sidedness of tariff protection in iron.

Such possession would bring to the
possessor feeling of partnership, of
joint ownership, of proprietary right

THE OCEAN
by GEORGE FITCH,
Author of "At Good Old Siwnsh."

The ocean is a huge and highly sea-
soned body of water which surrounds the
land.
There is so much ocean that no matter
in what direction we travel We are bound
to run into it sooner or later. The ocean
is the one thing in the world that does
not have to be conserved or protected.
Men are using up the land. blasting down
the mountains, tampering with the riv-
ers, and stealing the forests. But the
ocean can take care of itself Man has
been fooling with the ocean for 5000
years but there is Just as much ocean
now as there was. and IT is in just as
good condition, though perhaps little
dirtier around the edges. II has been
pretty hard on man, however.
The ocean is very salty and contains
oysters, clans. and Holsters. Heated up
with a little pepper and butter. the ocean
would make pretty fair table d'hote soup.
There are really five oceans, but they
are all closely connected, like the COM
netting portions Of a busted trust A me-
dunn sized ocean is 5000 miles across and
wet all the way. 1t Is also FIVE miles
deep in places. Persons who cannot swim
are cautioned against wading out too far
in the ocean. Eventually the wader Is
almost certain to get beyond his depth.
The ocean is strongly impregnated with
whales, codnsh, lcepergs, craos, ana oth-
er foreign matter. and is very useful to
man. With the aid of a fish line and
plenty of bait, man can live for years
on what he pulls out OF the ocean. 1t
also serves mankind by dividing the Old
World from the New. Owing to the long
sea voyage involved. there has been very
little pickering between the two hemis-
pheres. II Europe had been divided into
two nations by oceans, instead of imag-
mary lines. the death rate in the last
Loo years would have been much lower.

Money and Peace.

The Mexican Congress has approved
a proposal to borrow SIooooo.ooo. The
dispatches do not state whether this
is gold or Mex" As usual. France
is about the only nation with the cash.
Like the good business men they are
the Paris bankers are driving a good
bargain. Mexico is a vastly rich coun-
tfy. but the disordered condition of the
republic requires that the loan will be
issued at 90, pay interest at g per cent.
and be secured by a lien on IS per
cent of the customs revenue.
The revoIutionists. led by Carranza,
have sought to prevent the consumma-
ton of this loan by giving notice that
if they come into control of the gov
eminent the obligations incurred by
Huerta will be ignored.
No doubt the prospective creditors,
who are said to include British bank
ing interests. have considered this. APP
parentlv they believe 100000 will
enable President Huerta to regain con
troll of the country. restore order. and
give the liberal resources of Mexico
an opportunity to pay off the war debt,
for it is nothing else.
While there appears TO burn in
Northern Mexico a faint flame of as
piration for democratic government. it
has been demonstrated that the great
majority OF the Mexican people have
no knowledge of or interest in the po-
litical problems of the republic. The
peon fights "a he WORKSHOP any one
who will pay him and treat him well.
A story is told OF major OF rurales
who, during the fighting between Diaz
and Madero in Mexico City. roamed
the street in his underclothes carrying
a Federal uniform under one arm and
a rebel uniform under the other. He
knew not which to don.
Once the 100000. or rather the
S9ooooooo. minus the usual commits
sions, is placed to Mexican credit, it
will be easier to estimate the chances
for survival of the Huerta govern

FIGHT BREWING OVER
SUCCESSOR TO BIXBY
Friends of Col. w. L. Sibert Want Him
Named Chief of the Army
Engineers.

warm fight was presaged yesterday
when Senators Johnston of Alabama and
Ransdell of Louisiana called at the
White House and urged the President to
appoint Lieut. Col. William L. Sibert as
successor to Gen. William II. Bixby,
Chief of Army Engineers. when the lat
ter retires on December Is.
The Senator's call yesterday brought
to light the fact that there is a good
deal of jealousy in the engineer corps
of the army over the proper place for
the credit for the construction of the
Panama Canal.
1t appears that the other engineers con-
slider that Col. Cocktails has taken too
much credit to himself for the engineer
ing feat, and that Col. Sibert is entitled
to fully as much praise as his chief.
The Louisiana and Alabama Senators
therefore asked the President to appoint
Col Sibert to succeed Gen. Bixby as a
slight reward for his services. The
President referred his callers to Secre-
tary Garrison.

Repisals.

Suggestions of boycott of American
produces by the Japanese as a reprisal
for the California alien-land legislation
have come from Tokyo. The theory
OF boycott is that the most vulner-
able spot OF an offending nation is its
pookctbook
But the boycott gun has a kick I;
suggests shearing off the nose to spite
the face.
We now import from Japan con-
modities that reached, in the year end
cd June 80, 1911, total value OF
S7S,527,496 Our exports to Japan
during the same period were worth
$36,72I,4oo, a heavy balance of trade
in Japan's favor.
The Japanese, like all other peoples.
buy from the United States the things
which. can be most cheaply purchased
here.
in the year mentioned Japan bought
STI .So4,449 worth of American raw
cotton. This was spun into cloth in
Japan and sold to the Chinese, who
formerly bought more American cot
ton goods than they now do. Japan
can buy cotton nowhere else so cheap.
So it is unlikely that there will be
any boycott against American cotton.
If not, nearly one-third of our exports
to Japan will escape reprisal The
next largest item of American export
is machinery and parts of machines,
Presumably these machines
are bought in the United States be-
cause they are cheaper or better. If a
japanese manufacturer already has
American machines he cannot obtain
duplicate or repair parts in any other
country. He may feel that California
is needless of japanese friendship, but
he is unlikely TO buy more costly ma
chinery or equipment elsewhere in a
spirit of revenge. The exports of
wheat -four to Japan are annually val
ued at about $4,000. And SO on
down the list.
A boycott by individuals involves
resolute readjustment of the individual
to his existing market. A boycott by
a government in the shape of tariff
reprisals is likely to prove boomerang
if its force is spent on the consumer.
The problem of increased cost of living
is quite as acute in Japan as here.
