The Housing Problem.

At special meeting Of the Woman's
Department of the National Civic Fed
Grafton held here the other day stress
was laid upon the need Of legislation
to put into execution the project for
alley housing improvement in Wash.
ington. This is one of the most urgent
necessities Of the capital today. The
condition Of the minor streets and alleys
of this city is reproach to the District
and the nation. A problem exists which
cannot be solved by the municipal gov
eminent. Certain regulations can be
made that even if strictly enforced will
only palliate the conditions and will not
effect q permanent cure. What is needed
is broad, constructive plan of rehabili-
tation, Of home building for the poor
on large scale. Private enterprise
cannot or will not supply the need. To
small extent something has been done
in this direction through philanthropy,
but the condition demands more thor
ough remedies.
Whether the city builds homes for the
poor, as London has done, or aids pri-
vate enterprise in this direction, is for
consideration. A prejudice exists in this
country, and especially here, against
municipal ownership experiments, but
after all the welfare Of the whole com.
munity is at stake in such degree that
1t may well be that the public funds
could be put to no better use thsn In

where q hearty reception. His theme
appealed to him and to the people. He
found, as others have, quicker responses
to remarks about the navy than about
the army. It is not necessary for
man to live on either tho Atlantic or
Pacific seaboard to appreciate the value
of an adequate navy when knowledge
is SO common about what n navy means
in this day of great sea ornaments.
We need adequate sea power. The
President thinks we are only fourth on
the water, and he would have us first.
Why should not we be frsts What
other nation has so much at risk from
sea approach What other nation would
lose so much in case its sea defenses
faileds
The only objection raised is the money
cost. We are told we could not afford
the outlay; that the building and sup
port of such navy as the President
advises would bankrupt the country.
Who with full knowledge of the coun-
try.s resources need fear that?
There is an effort afoot. to induce the
President to withdraw his recommen-
dation and make one on smaller scale.
Should he do that he would be accused
of another change Of mind-an accuse
ton heard so often now it is beginning
to annoy and injure him. Better stick
to the announcement made; which prob
ably he meant.

support Of . scheme Of housing that
will give to the present slum dwellers
decent habitations.
It is not enough to clean out the
alleys, to transform them into minor
streets or into recreation grounds, as
in the case Of one Of the most notorious
Of Washington's slums Of few years
ago. The people who now inhabit these
places must be provided for elsewhere,
not in similar conditions, but in better
houses, where they can live in cleanli-
ness, in health and in uplifting, whole
some environment.
This is constructive problem, not
merely one Of housekeeping. A year
and half ago beginning was made
toward legislation to work out a better
lment Of conditions, but It did not reach
conclusive ends, and now the situation
remains as bad as ever, or in view
Of the rapid increase of the population
Of Washington, is even worse.

The New Taxi Rates.

The taxicab rate reductions announced
by the Terminal Taxicab Company and
approved by the public utilities COM
mission are in the line Of reason. 1t
has been the public belief for long
time that the local taxi rates were too
high, that the local companies we're
making an excessive profit out of their
investment and that the utilities COM
mission should as quickly as possible or
der reduction that would give the peo-
pie the service they require for more
moderate charge. A physical valuation
of the companies properties has resulted
IN figures that justify this expectation.
The new rates proposed by the terminal
company and approved by the commits
sion are computed to yield approximate
~ 10 per cent upon the investment.
which is good return. 1t is announced
that the new rates will cut off about
$4,000 gross revenue, but the company
acknowledges that it expects its bust
ness to increase in consequence of the
reduction, and that there will conse-
quently be some lessening of this loss
as result. It naturally follows that
if the rates are made more reasonable
more people will use the taxicabs. The
charges should be so moderate that the
cabs are kept constantly in service.
Every hour of idleness means loss to the
company, and under the old rates there
was heavy percentage Of idleness. The
idle cab is eating up interest and wages
if it does not consume gasoline, while
the busy cab is making money. On this
principle it is the best Of good business
for the companies to come down in their
charges and encourage the people to use
the service more freely. All the rates
should be brought to the same level,
through voluntary or forced reductions.

In Course of Time.

IN SOuIBe OF line.
The winter will bluster with merciless
glce
As the wind passes by with sneer.
The SHOWS will come drifting,
And clouds slowly shifting
Will hover like shadows Of fear.
But the world plods along and each
morning we see
Seems to struggle some brightness to
lend,
Till the sunshine comes straying
As if it were saying,
"Let bygones be bygones, my friend"
When the snowdrifts have melted away
from the hill,
And the ripples awake with a sigh,
Where eddies are whirling,
And grasses are curling,
And the blossoms are blue as the sky !;
When the robin gives tone to his elo-
queut thrill,
His greeting so frank to extend,
There is no time to ponder
On sorrow back yonder.
The world sings, "Forget it, my friend"

Russia's Drive Into Asia Minor.

Not since the great Russian retreat
from west Poland and from Galicia has
there been military movement in this
war of greater importance than the
capture Of Erzerum, which is now
apparently fully confirmed. Only the
Teutonic drive, with Bulgar aid, through
Serbia to effect a junction with Turkey,
compares with the possibilities of this
achievement by the forces under Grand
Duke Nicholas. IF the Russian armies
| which have taken Erzerum are not SO
depleted by their conquest as to be un-
able to press it the taking of Erzerum
may be followed by a drive westward
along the southern shore of the Black
sea in the direction Of Constantinople,
which will place in jeopardy all the
Turkish forces operating in Asia Minor.
Such movement, continued westward,
would entirely change the Asiatic aspect.
1t would probably cause an indefinite
postponement if not an absolute aban-
donment of the operations directed
against Suez. If successful in placing
large Russian force in the neighbor-
hood Of Constantinople it would put the
Turkish army in jeopardy Of annihila-
ton.
This Russian movement through
Erzerum is a great flank attack. For
many months fighting has been in
progress in the Caucasus, which is Rus
sian territory, with Erzerum standing as
bulwark of Turkish defense against
just such a flank movement. The Rus
SLAMS have been blocked away from
Turkey in Europe by Rumania, still
neutral state, and by the difficulties of
landing sufficient forces on the short
Bulgarian coast at Varna or elsewhere
to effect drive into Turkey from that
quarter. Evidently the Turks depended
upon Erzerum to prevent the invasion
Of Asia Minor, and its fall has naturally
caused CONSERVATION at Constantinople.
although the distance from the Russian
advance forces to the capital is, roughly
speaking, 700 miles. Already a report
comes that the Russian army has reached
the town Of Baiburt, which is about
seventy miles west by north Of Ere
rum, indicating that since the capture
of the garrison of the latter place, esti-
mated at 100000 men, there is no large
force Of Turks available to resist the
onward movement.
The news Of the capture Of Erzerum
is hailed with rejoicing in England, for
the reason that it makes for the early
release Of the British expedition in
Mesopotamia from the Turkish pressure
that has for many weeks prevented any
advance, and has, in fact, held the Brit
ish on the defensive to prevent q dis
aster.

That Tariff Commission.

This is the tariff plank of the New
York republican platform:
ave demand the restoration of the
republican policy of tariff commission
with ample power to inquire into mat
tiers of cost, protection and labor condi-
tions in this and other countries and
to supply the Congress with the fullest
possible and most accurate information
for guidance in the formulation of a
permanent tariff policy that shall ade-
Quately protect American labor as well
as conserve and develop American nat
ural resources and American industry.
We condemn the destruction by the
democratic party of the pon-partisan
tariff commission established under the
administration of President Taft"
The non-partisan tariff commission es-
tablished under the administration of
President Taft was destroyed by the
democratic party and it's work rejected
simply for the reason that being of re-
publican origin it was Suspect" in the
eyes of democrats. They feared that
the commissions statistics and recon-
mendations were "loaded." So that
when they found themselves charged
with the duty of revising the tariff they
arranged to have the necessary statistics
gathered by experts of their own choos-
ing. The Underwood law failed, not be-
cause its authors lacked material for
drafting tariff law, but because Of the
use made of the material they had. Be
ing enemies of protection, they worked
showed, worked against the interests of
the country. They neither raised money
enough for the support of the govern
ment, stimulated a depressed state of
business, nor, as they promised, lowered
the cost of living.
If a non-partisan commission is ere
are selected by the President, will it be
difficult to read the future? A demo-
cratic victory in Observation-Disclosures
Congress controlled by that party and a
second term for Mr.. Wilson-will give
the commissions work some value. The
next ways and means committee will in
a measure guide by it. But if the re-
publicans win, they will do by the Will
son commission as the democrats did
by the Taft commission-destroy it and
its labors, and arrange for the gather
ing under their own auspices and di-
rection all information necessary to the
revision of the Underwood law on
straight and undisguised protection
lines.
Why play any more politics than
necessary with the tariff question: It
will not be taken out Of politics, and it
cannot be taken out of the hands Of
Congress. This tariff commission propo-
sition as advanced now is simply a
maneuver for effect on the coming cam
paign. The democrats, SO soon after
the Underwood revision, fear the issue.
while the republicans see no way of
Immediately forcing it. Hence the
movement for postponement until the
next Congress. The only suggestion of
interest and value is that the President
may in time change his mind, and turn
up a protectionist.
