But whatever the future may
hold the job must be done, ac-
cording to the President and the
eX-President
Mr.. Wilson made it clear that he
thinks he KNOWS that he has the
people back of him. He said, "the

overwhelming majority OF the peo-
pie is in favor of the league
He made it clear that he would
go to the extreme limit of his
power here and in Europe to force
through the league, Which he be-

sent the matter in such a way as
to make it impossible for the Sen
ate to reject it without refusing to-
make peace.

AS you read this, the President
is well on his way to France, and
Mr.. Taft, probably, is we'll on his
way somewhere to make a speech
for the peace league and against
Republicans that oppose it. When
Mr.. Wilson comes back, he will
bring, if he can, a peace league

throughout the year. had promised
to give whatever was necessary in
the way Of deficiency. Instead Of
doing this the committees cut the de-
ficiency to 100000, far too small a
sum for the work that should be
done.
There was on hand today from the
original appropriation of $4,000 for
street cleaning for the present fiscal
year just $4,000. 1t is estimated
that practically all of this will be
required to feed and care for the
horses Of the street department. They
can not be given away, and can not
be sold, because they will be needed
again.
To Look Like POdunk Soon.
Therefore in ten days or two weeks
Washington's beautiful streets,
thanks to the characteristic niggard-
illness of Congress toward the Dis
trict, will resemble the streets of the
village of Podunk-dangerous filled
with decaying matters, Uttered with
papers, scraps of every kind, broken
bottles, grease, everything. AS the
warm weather comes on the flies will
breed and carry germs of disease into
the homes of the city; the dirty dust,
laden with germs, will go into homes
and the nostriIs Of the people; the
sewers will begin TO I'LL up and the
results no one can forsee.
One suggestion TO the Commission
ers today was that wealthy people Of
the city may have to be called upon
for subscriptions to. do what Con-
gress failed to do. Such sUbscrip-
tions, however, would have to be in
the nature OF donations. pure and
simple. with the givers taking chance
on reimbursement by Congress. EX-
