An organization like the District
government with three executives in.
stead Of one can be made continuous,
to the advantage Of the local welfare,
by overlapping Of administrations"
The Commissioners serve in a dual
capacity. as civil executives and as
public utility commissioners. In func-
tioning in the latter capacity the board
must have guidance from past actions.
and although the subordinate officials
remain the same. it is well that there
should be direct connection in per.
sonnel from one organization to an.
other. Col. Kutz is thoroughly famil-
lar with the utilities situation here.
and not only in the handling Of i'm.
mediately arising questions but in
relation to possible legislation his ex

makes it especially gratifying now

Street Lighting.

One Of the earliest questions to be
taken up by the new board Of Com
missioners, it is stated, will be that
Of better street lighting for the CAPT.
tai. This is question Of the utmost
importance. At present the streets Of
Washington are most unevenly light
ed-brightly in some parts Of town and
dimly, or even not at all, in other
parts. There are many streets in
which the illumination points are so
far apart that nine -tenths OF the space
is in darkness. Ten steps away from
the range Of a lamp the street is in
utter gloom. Crimes of all kinds can
be committed with impunity at hun
dreds Of places in this city for lack
Of light. Just at present many crimes
are being committed, holdups, as
saults. even murders. Those who are
compelled to walk the streets at night
do 50 in fear. Only in the brightly
lighted streets is there any sense Of
security.
OF course, it is impossible to make
the streets SO brilliantly lighted that
crime cannot be committed with the
safety that is now enjoyed by the
footpads and gunmen and assailants.
There will still be dark corners and
alleyways and gloomy places. But
the percentage Of safety will be in
creased by better lighting, and in any
case, regardless Of crime. Washington
should in no part be dark, as in the
days before electricity. or even the
days before gas. Yet there are parts
Of Washington today that are reminis-
cent Of the times when links furnished
the only public illumination. and the
wayfarer had to carry his torch or
lantern in order to find his path after
dark.

Legal Death by Gas,

Possibly as a result of the expe-
riences in war, the state Of Nevada
has decided to change the manner Of
executing persons condemned to death
by law. A bill has passed the legis.
lature and been submitted to the gov.
ernor providing for the use Of lethal
gas. to be administered in a special
room to be constructed at the state
penitentiary. This method, it is claim.
ed, is even more merciful than elec.
trocution, which has been adopted by
many states in substitution for hang.
ing. Even the electric chair, 1t is felt.
infiicts an agony upon the condemned
and presents n most revolving sight.
A legal death by gas will probably be
speedy. painless and certain. II the
state is to continue to take life as q
punishment 1t should surely take It in
the most merciful manner. Time was
when an execution for crime was de.

A Boy Scout official recently. touch
ing in a public address upon this
question Of the boy problem. spoke Of
the youngsters as stumbling into
citizenship" In a majority Of cases
there is no systematic, dependable.
constructive citizenship training for
the American youth. Boys leave
school at an early age, often because
they have to 60 to work. They are
allowed to br:1g themselves up into
manhood, with no standards and but
little guidance. The Boy Scout or
ganization Is today the most active
agency to correct this tendency. and
it deserves the fullest measure Of pub.

cooperation by the citizen, for it is
one Of the practical safeguards OF

New York and Prohibition.

BY a vote Of 81 to 81. the New York
state assembly yesterday passed three
bills which. in the language Of their
proponents. put the state behind the
Volstead act" These measures are
designed to enroll on the side Of pro.
hibition enforcement the full police
power Of the state Of New York. If
the people Of the state do not wish to
enforce the national act they may
lessen the activities Of the police and
the state constabulary. II they wish
to carry through in prohibition en-.
forcement they can under this bill
just passed stop the smuggling Of
liquor over the Canadian border and
stop other forms Of bootlegging. It
was noticeable that the democrats
voted solidly as a party against the
bills. and thirty-one republicans Joined
them, but the republican party ma
jority in the assembly is so large that
a margin Of nineteen remained. The
question was brought to a focus by
Assemblyman Gage, sponsor for the
measures, who said, I'VE must rip
away the artificial distinction which
puts the criminal who breaks the
liquor law in a preferred class" This
action by the New York assembly is
an indication that Notwithstanding the
