Clearing the Avenue.

MO ONE can deny the courage of the District
/ v Commissioners. They probably could not
have issued order more unpopular with those
directly affected than that Withdrawing the parking
privilege along the middle of Pennsylvania avenue
Yet we believe that these, they gradually adjust
themselves to the new arrangement made for them
will admit that the Commissioners are right. They
will accept the Inconvenience whatever it may be-
and agree that what is best for Washington is best
for them.
At the far end of the Avenue, con the Hill,"
stands the most beautiful building in the world
The Avenue by its extreme width was designed to
give unobstructed view of the entire building its
majestic proportions, the perfection of its lines, the
glory of the dome, and the exact balance of its
spreading wings. Anything which this view
is wrong to the people of the country; it materially
detracts from the delight of those who come here
to first of all, the Capitol.
The extent to which this double parking down
the middle of the Avenue has destroyed the splen-
dor Of the temple of free government, may not have
been so keenly felt by those living here who have
become accustomed to it. But endless disgust and
suppressed naughty words, have been the con-
trbution OF visitors who have felt themselves
robbed of their birthrght as Americans. Their
art sense has been shocked and their feeling Of joint
title outraged. They will appreciate this action of
the Commissioners will all Washing tonians when
they the result.
But what is OF more importance to the city, is
the fact that the removal of the will emphasize
the raggedness, the wholly incongruous dilapdated
of the lower side of the Avenue. 1t has been
taken for granted that the plan to extend the Mall
to the street line will be carried out This has
halted rebuilding and improvements on that
side Not to add this investment has been good
business and will greatly lower the cost when
the prayed-for time comes. Visitors from all the
States, seeing more clearly what is. and apprecat-
ing more fully what should be- will urge this
essential improvement
The Commissioners have done what will surely
hasten the day that will make Pennsylvania avenue
match the Capitol the handsomest street in the
world. When this time comes it will bring rebuild
ing the upper side. That will have to match the
setting whole, with splendid retail and office
structures and then nothing earth will quite
match the Avenue the crownng glory of Wash
ington and the supreme pride of America. .

that Merger must bring lover fares and not merely
Perpetuate the burden Of overespitalization
Another proposition Is exactly as self-evident
This is that merger should absolutely divorce the
electric lighting and power utility from the street
railways. Senator Kings bill provides for this IN
a way that Is entirely fair and practical To merge
the railways and include with them the electric util
ity. will but continue and confirm condition which
has proved basic in the street railway evil.
1t is accepted by everyone that public utilities
should be monopolics. 1t is as incontrovertible
that no two public service nonopolies should be
under the same private ownership, management and
operating control The evils Of such combina-
ton is evident now. If the railways are combined
and the electric utility is left in the combination
the result is assured 1t will be used to aten street
railway profits and to carry street railway overcapi
talization.
1t will be inevitable as a result of the human
nature of corporations for which individual holds
himself responsible, that the railway owning the
electric utility will sell power to itself at the low
est rate possible and hide this fact in every way
possible. 1t may sell to the Maryland lines at as
high rate as is possible to make them appear un-
profitable and load for the parent company to
carry 1t will hold electric rates to private con-
as high can be all earnings will be
velvet 1t will juggle the two properties in hide
and-go-seek way known to corporation management
to trace or disclose.
There will be less incentive to careful manage
ment, to economies and to services with two prop
critics of this kind each capable of profit and each
monopoly 1t will be far difficult for the
Public Utilities Commission, whoever represents
the public, to trace exact costs, responsibility and
corporation individuality. Just here The Herald
wishes to say that we believe the utilities commits
sion have been uncommonly able, fair and honest
If they have made mistakes of judgment this is
something other agency which may replace them
will ever wholly avoid Few realize the pressure
they have withstood. nor the extent to which they
have gone in behalf of the public interests.
Their chief problem and greatest difficulties
the thing that has baked their efforts and that
which has most hampered them. has been the COM
mon ownership of the electric and street railway
utilities To perpetuate this with street -away
monopoly will but make this condition worse. 1t
will but tend to confound confusion.

Reason for Race Tension.
To the Editor, The Washington Herald:

To the Editor, The Washington Herald:
Stephen Graham says in The
Soul Of John Brown: The negro's
chief danger lies in a consensus OF
evil opinion about him.
Out of a cycle OF happenings is de-
rived the thought: No one can af-
ford to feel virtuous about the
negro" And such is the black, Bit
ter truth. So intensely is the con-
sciousness of the average white
man imbued with this thought that
he cannot consider the negro or his
problems in the calm, impartial
light of Justice. He fears a COM
promise of caste and the epithet,
igger-lover"
The inability OF the white man
to put himself wholly zen rapport"
with negroes shuts the negro out
from a good deal Of hope that might
be derived from intelligent white
sympathy and understanding, and
he in turn becomes sensitive, bitter
and resentful. Such an attitude
would naturally preclude dealings
and associations based upon mutuai
respect, confidence and considera-
tion.
Herbert SeIigman. in his book,
The Negro Faces America" refers
to this biased attitude on the part
OF the white man as kind
of 'color-psychosis," omnipresent
whenever things having to do with
the negro are to be considered, and
forever tending toward racial ten
sion. Thus a trivial misdemeanor

Saws British-AmericanS Are
DisIoyaI.

IT, the Editor. The Washington Herald:
l wish to call attention to one
fact that the people here in WASH
ington are probably not aware or
and Mrs. NJ. D. Lee can verify my
statement by taking the matter up
with the British Embassy. After
the United States entered the war
there were thousands Il believe the
number would run into six figures)
of English and Scotch who reported
to the British consuls and were
sent tc Canada to fight with the
Kings forces. Some of these were
born, and most of them
were American citizens, but at heart
they were English or hyphenated
Americans. Remember, now, that
those who we're not naturalized
would automatically become Amer
lean citizens by joining the U. 5.
forces and those who were already
Americans would automatically be-
come subjects of King George by
joining the British forces OF course,
they elected to be British, and have
since formed the British Veterans
Association. The State of Massa-
chusetts voted a bonus of $50 to
each u. s. service man, and also
absolved him from poll taxes for
three years. These American Brit
ishers actually had the audacity to
petition the legislature to include
them in these grants, but naturally
were turned down.
Probably Mrs. Lee is not aware
that there were hundreds Of thou
sands Of Irish in the British forces,
and that all were volunteers. There
was no draft law in Ireland. Bro
ken promises by the English is what
caused all the trouble in Ireland, as
any student knows.
In this country we have many OF
that type who worship royalty, or
those who have been touched by
the hem Of royalty. These people
are not true Americans who should
believe in the liberty of all small
nations, but are the unadulterated
hyphens, and generally British. II
they are not hyphens, then they
must be religious bigots who cannot
see patriotism. and who cause more
trouble than even the late war.
We hear lot about the hyphen-
ated Irish. Is there such an "ani-
mile" as hyphenated English? Don't
suppose we will, ever have a war
with England. but in the event that
we do would like to know which
side tEngland or America) such
British admirers as Mrs. Lee, JUS

Believes Dempsey Will Win.

To the Editor, The Washington Herald:
The coming meeting between
Georges Carpenter and Jack Demp-
sey for the heavyweight champion
ship of the world will be doubly in
teresting, not only for its interna-
tional character, but also from the
point of blew that both contestants
shape up as radically different
types of fighter. each having his
own ideas in regard to attack and
defense. The coming match will
also definitely answer the question
whether brain is mightier than
Drawn.
The Frenchman IL one Of the fast
est and most scientific boxers to
crawl through the ropes since James
j. Corbett ascended the heavy
weight throne. Carpenters speed
is a revelation to boxing devotees,
while his punch is not insignificant,
as his quick victories over Joe
Beckett and Bombardier Wells will
attest. While many Americans are
dazed by the Frenchman's speed.
and are inclined to look with favor
on Georges because of this fact, let
1t be hoped that they won't wager
all they have because of a boxers
speed Celebrity of motion has never
won a tight alone, although II often
plays a prominent part. but 1t is the
man with the K. o. punch in either
hand that generally wins.
Dempsey. the present title holder,
should easily defeat Carpenter on
July because he is a much harder
hitter: he Is equally as fast on his
feet. and can stand all the punish
mont that the Frenchman may give
him.
To make a long story short. II Is
my opinion that the coming title
match will be one OF the most one
sided in the annels of the ring.
with the possible exception OF the
Jeffries- Monroe encounter. which
was terminated in the second round
when Jeffries stopped Monroe. II

Venus, the Sun and Mars are all in
malefic aspect.
During this sway there may be a
sense of being thwarted in all con-
structive measures and a positive
attitude of mind should be main
tanned.
Under this direction of the stars
the judgment may be untrust-
worthy. There will be much dis
tortion of view in the vision of the
people.
Scandals will be whispered so
and none will be too high to be
touched by them.
During the summer a. fashion
pleasant gossip. for Neptune will
affect the viewpoint and cause evil
report to be widespread.
Mars again Is read as presaging
rumors of war and agitation con.
corning the army and navy.
The death of high army Officer
is forecast. He may be the victim
of an accident.
Irritability and nervousness may
be prevalent at this time and self
control should be exercised.
The sway Is not good for those
in quest Of any sort of favors and
is most unlucky for those who seek
positions.
