Some houses cost less than their
size and appearance would seem to
indicate. This is true of the one
shown herewith The lower hall in
this house is big enough to be counted
as room. This makes eight rooms

wide by 36 feet 6 inches deep, not
counting porches. Although we have
SO much inside room. the house is not
expensive. 1t can be built for about
$4,000 under favorable conditions.

ing on its laurels. There is a looking
ahead that promises even more benehts
in 1oIA and that is the spirit which
should inspire all our civic organiza-
tions. The Board of Trade wants
thoroughly freproof public school
buildings: it wants more comfortable
houses for the poor, the better light

pensions for policemen and tremen,
more effective sanitary regulations and
a score of other needed Improvements.
In short, it wants everything better.
We can't reform everything in day

More Policemen.

The streets of Washington must be
made as safe after dark as in day
light. There have been too many at
tacks on women by rufians in the
year now nearing its close. Let us
see to it that there be no such shame
ful record in 1914
Whenever a cowardly attack is
made on a defenselcss woman there
is an outcry against the crime and
the criminal, various remedies are
suggested and as quickly forgotten I'M
til another case stirs the community
for a day or two. Sometimes tine
criminal is captured; more often not.
But no effective steps are ever taken
to put stop to a form of crime at
which every one revolts.
The most recent incident in Wash
ington inspired some members of Con-
gress to blame the Police Court Judge
for imposing too light sentence ON
the brute who was convicted. They
expressed themselves in favor of en-
acting more drastic law if necessary,
although under the present law a term
of imprisonment twice as long might
have been imposed. Certainly, year
in jail seems a not excessive penalty
for an attack on a woman in front of
her home. But the main thing is TO
catch every one of these criminals and
put them in prison. Make those who
are disposed to break the law under

crime so surely will they be arrested
and made to suffer.

Washington is a growing city, ex-

may be that a false economy has not
permitted the police force TO grow
with it. Before the regular session
of Congress begins the consideration
of District appropriations we would
recommend that Mai. Sylvester be pre-
pared with facts, figures, comparisons,
. and arguments on the police situation
here. Let him show why he needs
more men, and then let all our civic
organizations bring their united inhu-
ence to bear on the Commissioners and
Congress and demand action. The
Taxpayers of Washington pay for the
protection afforded by a well-policed

We have considerable hesitation in

which appears in another column this

spondent has apparently followed with
some interest our editorials on the
same subject, in which we have re-

belief with unabated strength. Our
correspondent in Philadelphia appar-
entity has access to many sources of in
formation that are denied to us here
in Washington, but in saying that we
have no desire TO cast doubt upon the
accuracy of his statements.
Our hesitation in printing this letter
arises from the question as to whether
it will not, on the whole, be harmful
rather than otherwise to a situation
which we are trying to the best of our
ability to assist. But our thought is
that if we should suppress this con-
tribution, even though it is dis
tinctly unfriendly in tone to the Presi-
dent, we shall then be guilty of the
wrong Attitude-that is, declining &c

this correspondent accuses Mr.. Wilson

fense from US.
