The Harding Temperament.

There is something assuring in the

Mr.. Harding bore his inconveniences

alluring. But the weather stepped in

Labors Housecleaning.

Direct steps toward cleaning house
have been taken by the American
Federation Of Labor in the action OF
its executive council. This process
consists Of ousting from responsible
positions men who are affiliated with
radical organizations or are known
ito entertain extreme views. This pro-
ceeding. though delayed. is worthy OF
public approval. 1t has been patent
for many months that the Sadical ele-
ment was trying to gain control of this
great organization representing the
american trade unionists. by the
process of boring from within" This
became particularly evident at the
time of the steel strike, and in the
course of the Senate investigation into
that situation facts were adduced that
clearly showed that some OF the most

derlying the Industrial Workers Of the
World organization had gained a foot
hold in the federation ranks. Now

Schools and Traffic.

Steps have been taken to reduce
the danger of'trafifc accidents in the
neighborhood Of public school build
ings at the hours when the streets
are occupied by children. The Com
missioners have decided to close the
streets in front OF a number OF such
buildings during the opening clos.
ing and recess hours. This new rule
will, Of course, have to await the
process Of publication for thirty days
before it can become effective. which
means that by the opening Of the
schools in January, after the Christ
mas holidays, the streets may be roped
of and closed to traffic at the selected
points. 1t would probably be well
for the Commissioners in writing this
rule to make it broad enough to cover
all schools in the District, so that the
specific application will not become
subject to the thirty day requirement
In other words. regulation should
be framed in such terms that the Com
missioners, in consultation with the
school authorities. may close any street
during the three periods of greatest
use by the children at any school point
in the District. Such a rule will, Of
course, entail some hardship on the
drivers Of vehicles. But it is better
that they should be disconrnoded than
that the children, forced into the
streets by the inadequate size and bad
location Of the school grounds. should
be endangered. OF course. such q
rule as this would not prevent all traf-
fic accidents to children. but it will at
least reduce the chances by prevent
ing them at the places where children
are mostly congregated five days in
the week during nine months of the
year.

Capital Moving Proposals.

From time to time the suggestion
made short time ago by a member
OF the Senate that the government es-
tablishment be disintegrated on ac-
count of the congestion at the capital
and spread over other cities is re-
peated as returning members of Con-
gress come into close contact with the
undeniably bad conditions here af.
fecting housing. The latest plan pro-
posed Is to send the Department Of
Agriculture out Of town because it Is
not needed here SO greatly as are some
OF the other branches OF the govern
ment.
1t cannot be too often pointed out in
this connection that such q remedy
would be no remedy at all. The De-
partment of Agriculture. to take this
particular case, could not be placed
in any large city in the United States
without its employees suffering from
precisely the same condition that is
now prevalent in Washington. In
fact, they would be very much worse
OF, because practically all Of them
are now housed here, and If they were
moved they would suffer the incon.
venience and loss Of seeking new
homes which the government could
by no stretch of its communicating
powers secure for them.
Nor would the removal Of any one

type Of home was found In the East,
but In the last few years many colo

communities. Its chief attraction lies
in its quaintness, roominess and hos
