Clean Streetsk

One of the tasks which the cleanup
committee has assigned to itself is to
urge observance of the law against lit
tering the streets, and where this plan
falls short of results to urge enforce
ment Of the law. The committee believes
that too much litter. waste paper and
other refuse Is thrown into the streets,
and a casual inspection of some streets,
especially in the residence sections OF the
city, will show that this belief is founded
on fact This offensive practice is not
confined to the so-called poorer sections
of Washington. 1t Is no doubt true that
this reprehensible practice is not carried
SO far as in most other American cities,
but it is practice which should not be
INDUCED in at all. AS an evidence of the
extent of this careless and untidy habit
outside of Washington the following quo
tation from the Philadelphia Ledger is
Illuminating:
I'm the meantime, with the cleanup
idea in the air, 1t Is a pity that various
Authorities. including the police, cannot
make an object lesson now and then Of
offending citizens through the enforce
ment Of existing ordinances which relate
to the littering of the street and other like
nuiSances. AS 1t Is now, one can see well
dressed. intelligent-looking and apparent
~ respectable citizens going about the
town and not hesitating to toss mass of
newspapers or even a bundle Of trash into
the street and then walking off noncha-
lantly, often with a policeman looking
on
1t Is also to be seen from this that Phil
adelphia has the cleanup idea, and that
it may have cleanup Campaign in

a platform the financial plank OF which
bore the impress of John G. Carlisle,
then Secretary of the Treasury, and, as
such, Mr.. Cleveland's spokesman on
financial matters. Mr.. Carlisle had been
reckoned a silver man before entering
Mr. Cleveland's cabinet and Gen. Hardin
a fellow Kentuckian, had learned his Sill
yer lesson of him. 1t was easy, there
fore, for the silver men to induce Gen
Hardin to give silver 1nterpretatioi'

the democratic ticket and the success Oh
the republican ticket. for the first time
in the state since the organization OF
the republican party.
At St Louis in 1904 there was a sort
of juggle with the financial question, the
silver democrats unwilling to accept any

Mr.. Cleveland and the members of his

end of the four years, and never exerted
any influence on politics again. Gen

at that time seemed headed for the Sen

CAPTURE of Torreon.

The defeat of the Mexican federals at
Torreon and the capture of that place
extend and complete the control of
the constituencies over a large part
of northern and northwestern Mexico.
For months the constitutionalists have
planned for trial of strength with
the federals at this important city on
the north and south railroad line from
Juarez to Mexico City and the east and
west line from Matamoras and Monte
rey to Durango. Since the raising of
the American embargo on arms Villa
has publicly and noisily acc aimed his
intention of fighting there. That the
troops of Gen. Velasco were not strong
ly enough reinforced to withstand the
siege and assault argues weakness on
the part of the Huerta government.
Torreon is considerably more than one
third of the way from Chihuahua to
Mexico City, and if Huerta had simply
meant to lure Villa farther south for
the purpose of fighting a decisive bat
tie nearer the main federal base, per-
haps the resistance at Torreon would
not have been so earnest and long sus-
tanned. Various conclusions may be
drawn from the result at Torreon, but
the news indicates a substantial ad-
vance of the constitutionalists' cause.
The losses being reported show the
seriousness of the attack and the stur-
diness Of the resistance, and must raise
the general estimate of Villa as a
strategist, organizer and leader of
troops

Washington S Political Status.

The dlvorsIned lines OF thought concern
ing the political status of Washington
were intei estinsly and lnteihgently voiced
at the meeting of the Chamber os Com
merce last night. The advocates of a
larger participation by the community in
the local government and OF representa-
ton as an American ;lent III the national
government effectively presented their
cases. The fact was recognized by most
OF the speakers that the battle now in
progress for square deal for Washing
ton against the assaults upon national
participation under the half-and- half law
IN capital upbuiiding must be fought out
TO definite and decisive conclusion be-
fore the political claims of the Washing
tonian can be wisely and effectively
pressed upon Congress. While there is no
inconsistency between the half-and- half
provision and representation for Wash
ington in Congress and the electoral col
.ege. and greater consideration for the
opinions of the local community in the ad-
ninistration of It's municipal government
tbs assailants of Washington who threat
en- q Withdrawal of national participation
in capital upbuild!ng tender only a worth
less counterfeit of American rights In ex-
change, and insist that both cannot CO.
exist. The danger is recognized that the
pressing Of Washington's political claims
at this time may be used to the capitals
serious disadvantage by its enemies: and
apparently the discussion is postponed by
common consent.

The Old Building.

There's a squatty looking building that
was put up years ago,
They called 1t altitudinous and thought 1t

And this one seemed to dwindle. Its
admirers were but few.

wondering eye
On the squatty looking building that we
used to think was high.

fades in LIES events,
AS the theme Of song and story with a

q reminiscent sigh
1t is like the good old building that we
used to think was high.

Indirectly, by disappointing sentiment due

But the silver democrats we're won to his

all remember and it was freely asserted
after he had acted that If 1t had been
known before election day what policy
Mr.. Cleveland in office would pursue he
would have hsen defeated. The silver
men would not have aided in their own
destruction. Mr.. Bryan has described
that campaign as "a bunco game"

Many children would have been lonesome

second place if there are fairies they are
not good for children. Every child KNOWS

about whether a senator swears to, by,
under or at the Senate's rules, or sim

ton.
Seriously speaking. the matter under
discussion behind closed doors in the
Senate yesterday has aspects to which
the public has the right to many par
icfYt iS ba ind a
lie record. Much was known before any
senator, either for or against Mr.. Dan

therefore, has a public bearing: and II
senators choose later to repeat them
selves, on the stump or elsewhere, and
even ampIify their remarks. there will
lie no just criticism Of their course. And
that course will be as free to one side
as the other.
There is public business which always
has been and always will be transacted
in private. 1t has to do with treaties
and correspondence passing between the
State Department and our diplomatic
representatives. No senator would think
of divuiging any information OF that KIND
coming tY him either in his official ca
pacity or as an individual. There is not
q member OF the Senate who could not
be trusted to exercise excellent Judgment
In all such cases.
Likewise there is good reason for
secret conferences in party matters.
Blinds should be drawn and doors locked
when family differences are being ad-
jusIed.
All of this is plain enough. But secrecy
which denies the pubic what the pubic
has a right to know will always, in
this era OF publicity, in some way be, and
should be, defeated.
