CLEANING UP THE ALLEYS.

Tn the realization of the need of Washington. the officials of the Dis trict of Columbia are attempting the necessary thing first. the provision of the funds which will be required to accomplish the work as 1t should be done. and not leaving it to receive the chance attention of some person who may be interested in such a move ment. Every large city has alleys which are 8 detriment in their ap- pezrance and which arc usually un- sanitary places. Not only that but they are handy places for crime because of their situation and the effort which is being made to improve them in all these directions Is therefore one in which a wide cooperation should be- obtained The interest in it is man ifested by the people who are par ticipating and using their best in fuences for the accomplishment of the worthy purpose.
 Among the most unsightly and gloomy places which a city can be found to harbor are the alleys, both during the day and the night. The plan to widen them whenever possible clean them up and give them the proper lighting facilities, is one of the duties which every city owes to such sections. The prevention of crime and disease if secured through such meth ods, in combination with other work in this line, is cheaply obtained re- gardless of the outlay. Washington is setting an example which many others will doubtless follow.

CIVIL SERVICE COMMISSION.

When it comes to disturbing legis- lation or making changes to the det- riment of civil service it immediate ly calls forth much opposition and righteously so. for any disturbance of the merit system is to be deplored. President Wilson has seen cause for a change in the civil service commis- sion. Whether it will be a credit to the administration rests with the com mission.
 Under the belief that the presi- dent has no intention of dropping the barrier of civil service the New York Post says; He has more than once avowed his firm adherence to the prtn- ciples of the merit system, and cer- tainly has kept the spoilsmen at bay with remarkable f1rmness. Ask them if it is not so! His desire for new men on the commission may be due to his belief that it stands in need of invig- orating. Some rather sereve criticism of it as it has been constituted was recorded by President Taft's commit tee on efficiency and economy. Be this as it may. the new commissioners are certain to be kept under a jealous pub lie scrutiny. The very fact that they are not known will lead to a close watch being kept upon their attitude and their activities.",
 Whether it was the past criticism of the commission or not which actuated the president, it is certain that the new men must stand the severest test of the office and meet the approval of the people or it will operate to the discredit of the administration as well as themselves. Civil service must be maintained.
