people of its community and in the
welfare of the people of all other COM
munities. 1t gives its aid unsparingly to
uplift movements. The sum of the
good it has done and is doing in this
direction cannot be calculated.
Another opinion expressed at that
civic federation meeting was that the
high fence around back yards was an
insanitary menace The speaker said
that there VS. no other factor which
contributed SO much to the uncleanli-
ness of a city as the high back yard
fence. Argument has been exhausted
against these fences, but the backwa I'd
part of the community, by a. steady
presentation of the case, can finally be
made to see that the back yard should
not only be kept neat and clean but
that the fences should come down
Dividing the land at the rear of rows
of houses into little plots by means of

Coastal Canal System.

The action of the House of Represent
atives favoring the purchase of the Della
ware and Chesapeake canal taken during
consideration of the river and harbor bill
indicates the attitude of that branch of
Congress toward an Atlantic coastal
canal. 1t is a project that has long
been urged by shipping interests, and
the term shipping interests is meant
to include shippers as well as shlpown-
ers An inside route from New England
to Florida is a proposal that has long
engaged the attention of that part of
the American public which would natu-
rally be interested in such an enterprise.
Safety, convenience and economy are
the arguments set up in behalf of the
plan. Many of the links in this canal
chain have been in operation for many
wears, but the demands which would
be made upon this route if it were an
alI-way inside route would require that a
number of the old canals and the chan
nels through the Carolina sounds be
widened and deepened. Interest In the
Panama canal has served to divert at
tention from many canal plans within
the United States, and in this connection
it is worthy of notice that the Cape
Cod canal will be opened for traffic in
July. This is a short but important canal,
in that it will render unnecessary for a
large tonnage of coastwise shipping the
rounding of Cape Cod.

Board of Trade Meeting.

The wholesome effect of free and
fair exchange of opinions between
citizens of Washington and members of
their local legislature-the Congress of
me United States-was manifested at
he meeting of the Board of Trade last
night. The together spirit pro-
notes good feeling and good under
standing. The communion of citizens

tai and national Legislators who also
Incline that way is always pleasant
and usually productive of benefits to

persons charged with many fragrant vio-
lations of a law which was aimed direct
ly at them and their business-or rather
practices.
There has been talk of an agreement
between the corporation counsels office
and the loan sharks. and it is significant
that this proposed agreement is in the
public interest in that the loan sharks
have hesitated to sign it. There is dan
ger that such an agreement, especially
as to forfeiture of part of the principal,
would be violated, just as the law itself
had been violated. But of course the
officials of the municipality would be
watchful that any agreement made with
them was kept. Corporation Coun-
sci Syme is reported to have said yester-
day that they tthe loan sharks) have
been foolng long enough over these
cases and it looks as If it has all been
done for the purpose of delaying the
cases in court That is the view which
people in general take of this matter
There has also been good deal of talk
along the line that there is no DISPOSE
ton on the part of the law officers to
prosecute the loan sharks Although loan
sharks are past masters themselves in
the practices of persecution, there is no
wish on the part of ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
men to prosecute them, nor is there any
reason why clemency should be shown
this particular class of lawbreakers. The
law was aimed to protect very poor, or
very unhappy. or very shiftless. or very
uususpecting people from class OF
shrewd and constituencies money-lendlns
ghouls who have come to be described
in popular parlance as loan sharks.
According to Ge corporation counsels
office these men have scoffed at or 1S-
nored the law so that nearly LOCO cases
involving violation of that law are pend
ing against them, and this number OF
cases must be a small part of the actual
violations.

Making Homes Better.

A number of Interesting opinions
were expressed on the housing prob
lem during a meeting of the womans
section OF the National Civic Fedora
ton. One of the principal speakers
said that public interest was the great
est weapon for the accomplishment of
city cleaning and similar crusades.- and
that after experimentation with various
means of obtaining this publicity the
Woman's Civic Club of Baltimore had
abandoned the use of pamphlets and
such literature and had addressed
itself to the newspapers 1t had
found this the only effective means
of educating men and women on the
subjects of civic improvement. No OBJ
lection can be taken to this view

agent for the dissemination of opinion

The Great Question.

A war cloud lowered Ger the way.
The Dove of Peace was moulting
And from her perch from day to da,
Was showing signs of boiling
Occasionally men would pause
AS speeches shook the rafter:
They were in doubt of the applause
And also of the laughter.
And grim debate in stately halls
Rolled like the mighty thunder
Which as the storm about them falls
Makes brave men pause and wonder
Now groups of earnest men we see
Expounding solemn reason
And showing just which club will be
The champion bunch this season

Adjournment.

| There is worry about adjournment day.
Some weeks ago Mr.. Underwood express
| ed a hope for June IL. That seems TO
have gone glimmerins. A popular guess
| now is July H. with August Is not wholly
out of the question.
| The Panama tolls question is not alto
-ether responsible. That may delay mat
tiers somewhat, but other things are to
| be taken into account.
| Take the trust issue. At the start there
was expectation of an early, if not easy.
settlement of that Mr.. Wilson had
picked his leaders, and as they were emil
nent lawyers no serious trouble seemed
likely about putting measures into shape.
But that very thing has happened.
Measures have been prepared only to be
| rejected The eminent lawyers have dis
agreed. The President is somewhat at
sea. In neither House nor Senate has the
debate opened. In both when the debate
does open it is likely to be warm.
Take rural credits. Something entirely
new with u.s. and because of its great
Importance deserving of careful CONSIDER
alton. That should not be rushed.
Take the navy bill. Promise is of a
clash between the big and the little navy
men. Friends of IAN adequate navy will
press their case; and if resistance is
strong they will not stick at the matter
of time. They want at least one ship
more than their opponents, and are not
going to give up the ship.
The Panama tolls issue is sur
prise 1t did not enter into the first cal
culation about adjournment. 1t most
emphatically enters into the present cal
culation. Nobody may today forecast the
Senate's course as to the length of the
debate It may consume weeks in the
discussion; and if Johnny Bulls domestic
| troubles increase. the Senate in the end
may decide that this is not the best time
to yield to him.
| Then Mexico is to be remembered. No
body can read that future. If our COM
plcations continue to increase, our hand
may be forced in few months. and, If 1t
is, Congress may be detained on that &C
count 1t would not do for Congress to
adjourn soon after ordering intervention,
or war direct.
Senators and representatives with de-
sire to succeed themselves are anxious to
get away as soon as possible. The call
of home is loud in their ears. The other
fellows are hard at work, and it Is i'm
portant that they. too, get busy. But at
this distance they are at disadvantage.
Maneuvering their forces by wire or the
mails is far from being satisfactory.
1t would be better, however, for them
to remain here while real duty calls. than
clear the table hurriedly and scatter for
campaigning in their individual interests

The quietest part of the population OF

Ulster men are only little less calm

as in Ulster, the leaders are using all
their influence to prevent disorders, and

of things continues the greater the
chance for a peaceful settlement of the
main question in dispute. When one re-

that the fever raging in the commons
