Lincoln Highway.

A Lincoln national highway which
would not touch the National Capital
could not with propriety be called Lin
coin road. Most of the public service
which endeared Lincoln to posterity and
enshrined his name in history was per-
formed at Washington. He met his
martyrdom here. y Lincoln highway from
New York to San Francisco might be a
very good automobile road, but it would
not be worthy of it's name unless Wash
ington were on its course. The fact that
a spur of this proposed road may run
from Philadelphia to Gettysburg helps
the case somewhat, but seems to furnish
only the excuse that the advocates OF
the plan may cal the road a Lincoln high
way, thereby increasing interest in the
project and drawing to it support which
it perhaps would not command II 1t were
mobile road.
The claims of Washington to a place
on this proposed road are valid, and they
will be presented to the Lincoln highway
association, the headquarters of which
is at Detroit, by a committee appointed
by the District Commissioners, and which
committee includes representatives OF the
Washington Board of Trade. Chamber OF
Commerce and Retail Merchants Assoc
ciation The representations of this COM
mittee may save the highway association
from committing the mistake, which
would put ridicule upon the project. OF
promoting a Lincoln road which did not
lead to Washington.

Typhoid and Water.

Typhoid. though known to be preventa-
BILE and to be a dirt disease, continues
to exact a heavy toll of life. Some
American cities show an increase In the
number of typhoid cases per 100000 Of
inhabitants and many show a hopeful
decrease, in some cases approaching the
low typhoid rates of European cities
Wherever typhoid cases are traced to
their point OF origin the cause is found
in nearly all cases in sewage-polluted
drinking water, contaminated milk or
vegetables or that infection with germs
contained In human exereta has been
carried by insects. mainly flies, or by
hands. While many cities in recognition
of this fact are seeking to keep pure their
water supply or to purify 1t and to guard
against dangerous milk and green vege-
tables, typhoid continues to be the
sceurge Of the country districts where so
many people draw their drinking water
from infected wells and springs A high
percentage of typhoid cases which appear
in Washington have their origin outside
Of Washington and a large proportion OF
the cases are contracted during the sum-
mer or fall vacation spent in the coun-
try.
Very likely most of those originating
within Washington and Its suburban area
could be traced to well water or spring
water. for by no means are all premises
In the District yet connected with the
Potomac mains. And 1t Is curious with
what persistency some people will cling
to an old pump and write letters of
complaint to newspapers and District

Queens.

There was a touch of the best kind of
human nature in the action of the
President in his treatment of the nine
year-old boy who wanted to see the
chief magistrate and was carried to
the White House on a cot in an am
bulance. 1t was published at the time
that this interview, or this CALL was
arranged by Mrs. Wilson, who was
deeply moved by a letter she had re-
ceived from the boys mother, telling
of his condition and his desire to see
the President. 1t was a gracious
thing to do and probably will not
furnish a precedent to be abused by
mothers of sick children. Nearly CO.
incident with this happy, yet pathetic.
White House occurrence comes a bit of
news from England that queen Mary
again showed her solicitude for Grip
pied children by motoring to Croydon
yesterday and visiting st. Agnes Home
of the Church of England Waits and
Strays Society" There is something
of the queen in nearly every woman,
whether she wears a crown or not.

Anti-Dirt Campaign.

The cleanup forces are mastering for
the war on dirt. The campaign will Off
cially open April 13 and officially close
April IS, but there Is no objection on
the part of anybody to an unofficial
opening now and no objection to an anti
dirt campaign which will have no close.
The approaching campaign is not de-
signed to keep the city clean only be-
tween the dates of April 13 and April Is,
but to enthuse the citizens over the ben
efits of clean city from January / In
enc year to January L in the next. The
District Commissioners have issued a
proclamation that. realizing the bene-
fetal results to be derived from con-
certed and cooperative effort upon the
part of all civic organizations, individ-
ual citizens and the several departments
of our local government to make Wash
tngton a more sanitary and beautiful
city. and in recognition of and to pro-
mote the work of the clean city COM
mittee. the Commissioners do hereby
designate the week of April Is to Is.
1914. as city cleaning week" This proc
lamation puts an official stamp on the
cleanup movement and will aid the
cause with number of persons whose
consciences need to be officially pricked.
The public schools rally to the cleanup
cause The superintendent OF schools
has directed school principals to urge
the children to cooperate in the District
wide anti-dirt and pro-heaith crusade.
and the result will be that $1,000 school
children will be cleaners or clean-uppers
and will throw into the work all that en-
thusiasm which children show when they
take hold of a thing. The success of
the cleanup campaign seems assured.

Hope for Plaza Owners.

Light seems to be breaking for the
plaza property owners. The resolution
which would permit payment of the
plaza awards which are not disputed
was yesterday favorably reported to
the Senate by the Senate District COM
mittee. The author Of the resolution,
Senator Sherman of Illinois, will press
for earl: action on this matter by the
Senate, and it would seem that the out
come must be favorable to the prop
erty owners. Separation Of the awards
is the proper thing under the circum-
stances, and will relieve the plight of
the nearly 200 citizens whose homes
have been taken by the government,
and for which payment has long been
withheld.

Speaker Clark.

Sufficient unto the day is the issue
thereof. Mr.. Clark is the Speaker of the
present House. Whether he will be
Speaker of the next House depends, first.
on whether that House is democratic. and.
second. on whether he could be persuaded
to stand for the place on the conditions
inferable from the criticisms of his pres
ent democratic opponents.
The complexion of the next House is
problematical-has suddenly become very
much so. Until the President threw the
free tolls question into the arena. the
republican hope was not greater than
of being able to reduce the size of the
democratic majority. Now that hope has
mounted higher The republicans are
calculating on carrying the next House.
In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye,
the whole aspect of things has been
Changed.
But let another democratic House be
supposed. Would Mr.. Clark care to pre-
side over it merely as a lieutenant of
the President? Could he be induced to
take orders from the White House-to
do this, or not to do that: to make
rulings or reverse rulings. according to
influences outside the House? Who be-
Heves he could? And, for that matter,
what worthy of the speakership
would accept the Office even under sus-
picion of being manipulate by the Presi-
dent? For, under such circumstances,
what of respect would remain for such
body, or for such an official?
Mr.. Clark is standing upon two propo-
sitions. First, he occupies the speaker
ship on pledge against gag rule. Both
he and his party made the pledge. He
nSiS hot IL CHI ii
five democratic members of the House,
Including nearly all the real leaders, yes
terday supported his contention.
Second, this House is democratic on a
pledge that our coastwise shipping shall
pass free through the Panama canal.
AS member, Mr.. Clark insists en- keep
ing that pledge He can see only broken
faith with the American people and dis
aster for the democratic party in the
Presidents proposition for repeal. Hence
his stout objection.
This gives to Mr.. Clark's position a
strength it would not possess if he were
setting up his opinions against the Presi-
dents. But he is doing no such thing.
He is championing the partys opinions,
candidly and clearly expressed, and pub
icly professed by the President himself.
AS much as Mr. Clark, Mr.. Wilson is
pledged to liberal debate and free tolls,
and Mr.. Clark insists that the pledge is
binding on all.
No President has ever named a Speak
er of the House. No President has ever
controlled a Speaker. 1t will be a black
day for the country if this rule is broken.
The speakership. even as shorn of some
OF its former functions, is next in power
to the presidency; and the combined
power of the two places is far too great
to be committed to the hands of one
man. The mile and more between the
White House and the Capitol building
should continue to separate them.

officers when city authorities order the
condemnation and destruction Of that
pump. 1t is possible that here and
there case of typhoid il borne by the
public water supply. because the Potomac
river above Great Falls is known to be
polluted and some germs will pass
through the filtration process.
Sixty years ago the $4,000 Inhabitants
Of Washington were drawing their drink
ing water from wells and springs and
water-borne diseases were common, but
there was not clear understanding of
the nature Of the diseases. 1t was the
Thirty-second Congress which appropriat-
ed s.. 900 ito enable the President OF the
United States to cause to be made the
necessary surveys. projects and estimates
for determining the best means Of Afford
ing to the citizens of Washington and
Georgetown an unfaiiing and abundant
supply of good and wholesome water.
The surveys were made in the winter OF
1928. There were several propositions
one that Rock creek should furnish the
water; another that 1t should be pumped
from the river at Georgetown; another
that it should be taken from the river at
Little Falls and another-the big and cost
ly project-that it should be taken from
the river above Great alls and piped by
gravity to reservoirs. Gen. Montgomery
c. Meigs, then a lieutenant in the Engi-
neer Corps was the man most closely
identified with the surveys and reports
and it was due very largely to him that
the Great Falls project was adopted.
After six years of work on the aque-
duct that is in 1859. water from Little
Falls branch was turned into the con-
duit and small part of Washington sup
piled. The water came down through the
conduit from Great Falls in December.
1853. In the early eighties Washington
became conscious of the pollution of its
water by Little Falls branch, but it was
not until 1895 that this water was exclud-
ed from the Dalecarlia reservoir near
Chain bridge. During all the years there
had been considerable outbreaks of ty-
phoid fever in Washington among con-
sumers of Potomac water, and at length
came the building and opening of the
filtration plant. Typhoid has sharply de-
clined in the city of Washington. and
such cases as appear can usually be
traced to out-of- town infection.

The Sixth New Jersey.

The congressional race in the sixth New
Jersey district is on. A democratic, a re-
publican, bull moose and a socialist can
didate are in the field. But the contest Ia
between the two old parties. Either a
democrat or a republican will succeed
Mr. Bremner, who was a democrat.
The democratic nominee belongs in the
Hughes rather than in the Wilson camp.
Nevertheless. as the nominee he has the
sympathy and support of the President,
and if he wins. friends of the administra-
ton will claim a victory for it.
The tariff is much in evidence. AS the
district contains large manufacturing
plants, protection has many supporters
there. In times past, when that policy
was directly the issue. the republicans
carried the district. Naturally, therefore
they are holding up the Underwood Law
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1914-03-28

as a thing inimical to the district and
asking the people to vote against tex
press themselves in condemnation OF the
measure, and in favor Of return to the
policy of protection.
But now comes this issue of free canal
tolls, and that may complicate things
There are many foreign-born voters in
the district. and it remains to be seen how
the new issue will affect them.
Some men incline to the belief that only
Irish Americans are disgruntled by the
Presidents course, and they for the rea-
son that they think he has been forced
to his knees by Great Britain.
But there is another opinion. which is
that German Americans, Jewish Ameri-
cans and Italian Americans are as much
opposed as Irish Americans to any policy
tending to weaken American control of
the Panama canal. If this is true the
tariff will have to share the spotlight for
the remainder of the campaign-a matter
of about ten days-with the canal issue.
The friends of the administration are
much concerned. They realize that de-
feat might spell wide trouble for the
party. 1t would be interpreted as the
first sign Of change of public sentiment,
encouraging to the opposition everywhere,
and likely to bear fruit next November.
Mr.. Wilson is on trial, and New Jersey
is his state. He has been having his way
at home ever since he entered politics.
He was elected governor. He controlled
the legislature. He defeated James Smith,
jr., with Mr.. MARITIME for the Senate. He
secured Endorsement of his presidential
candidacy, and then the electoral vote of
the state in the campaign against the re-
publicans and the bull moosers. Natu-
rally, his friends do not want him checked
now. for, as they feel, if he should be, his
prestige, local and national, might be ma
terially impaired. For the same reason
the republicans are exceedingly busy
