The Sign Over the Door.

In the course of his work of thu.
manizing" the postal service, Mr..
Hays is doing many things that strike
the public fancy as grounded in good
sense and practical consideration for
the general welfare. For instance, he
wants everybody to know where the
post Office" is. He thinks that the
post Office is the center of the com.
munity and he rightly believes that
there should be no lack of identified
ton. In following out this policy he
is causing the big building on Penn.
sylvania avenue in this city. where he
has his headquarters and where the
springs Of the postal service machine
are coiled, to be properly marked, &c
that all who run may read. It has
seemed strange that for years the
only distinguishing mark on this
structure has been an inconspicuous
monogram on q shield In the lunette
between two Of the arches Of the
main entrance. Many have been the
questions asked Of street car con.
ductors and policemen and citizens
generally by strangers in Washington

Hughes the Man,

The White House announcement on
Saturday that President Harding had
informed Secretary Hughes that he
would be head Of the American dele
cation to the international conference
on the Limitation of armaments means
have been easy for the President to
have gone outside the cabinet and
made either a political appointment or
a selection of some distinguished pub
licist, but he has avoided the blunder
of personal participation in the con-
ference and at the same time has as
sumed that personal representation
which Is the prerogative of the execu-
tive in matters of diplomatic nego-
tiation.
Furthermore, the announcement is
taken to mean. according to Wash
ington interpretation that Secretary
Hughes will act as president OF the
conference. A more difficult position
can hardly be imagined. And the ap-
pointment shows that President aar-
ding is fully conscious OF what the
success or failure of this epoch max
ing conference may mean to his ad-
ministration. Secretary Hughes 10 not
likely to reopen old sores and old con-
troyersies in an effort to impress the
peoples of the earth with his rhe-
torical and historical inspiration. He
is not the man to rub racial and ma
tional currents the wrong way in such
a manner as to shock and irritate for
eign feelings. The one great danger
in American statesmen. due In large
measure to a provincial grasp OF Tor
eign politics and tendencies. is to
make unfortunate remarks. Secretary
Hughes might do many things, but
not that.-Philadelphia Bulletin lin
dependent republican,.
Evening star., 1921-08-18

his friends differed now and then as
to what the situation called for. He
found. and took. the right course
every time; and the phenomenal
triumph at the polls was a high trib-
ute to his sagacity as party leader.
The republicans will have a large
stake in the fight for the next Con.
gress. To lose the fight outright
would be a very serious blow, while
to win it by a narrow margin would
carry small comfort. The democrats,
pointing to the great reduction of
strength. would claim a victory. and
be heartened for the campaign to
follow two years later.
The President is interested. of
course, both on his party's and his
own account. His denomination
seems a certainty. and he will want
to enter the race for reelection in as
promising a position as possible.

Pulchritude and the White House

Lord Northcliffe says Of Mr.. Hard.
ing that he Is probably the most
physically attractive man in the long
list of presidential residents Of the
White House."
This is very high praise. for some
handsome men have occupied that IA
nous mansion.
Millard Fillmore was one. He had
the inches. the pose, the complexion,
the eyes. associated with masculine
pulchritude. His carriage was fine.
and he was much admired.
His successor. Gen. Pierce. also filled
the eye. Frank Pierce had been a
dandy at school, and later; and he re-
mained very careful of his appearance
to the end of his days. Both in uni
form and in civilian dress he was good
to see.
Gen. Garfield had the Harding
equipment. He was tall. straight.
clear-eyed and easy and graceful of
movement. He was physically one of
the striking figures in the public life
of his day.
His successor was quite up to his
notch. Gen. Arthur presented fine
appearance everywhere. Dressy, after
the New York fashion. he had the
carriage of assured position, and was
as impressive in appearance as any
man OF his period.
Mr.. Mckinley lacked only inches.
and the lack was slight. He carried
himself so we'll his medium height
put him at no disadvantage. while his
handsome face attracted all eyes in
any company.
We started with a handsome man.
But Washington as President did not
occupy the White House.

Fourteenth Street Extension.

Approval by the District Commits
sioners Of the bill to open 14th street
through the grounds Of Walter Reed
Hospital follows the line OF the de-
cision Of the highway commission
that that street should not be perma.
nently interrupted. At a hearing held
by the highway commission facts
were presented which clearly showed
the need of the extension. 1t was
demonstrated that there is q large
traffic north and south that is now
accommodated solely by Georgia ave-
nue. and the extension Of 18th street
and that this traffic is steadily in
creasing. If the hospital grounds are
to act as permanent barrier to any
further street development those two
thoroughfares will in q few years be-
come intolerably congested. In view
Of the fact that no street car lines
will probably ever be permitted on
18th street. the rapid transit service
would be confined to that on Georgia
avenue. plainly inadequate after a
few years of development. Hence the
finding of the highway commission
that the hospital area should not
block at least 14th street, and happily
the military authorities have accepted
this view and 1t is therefore likely
that the bill will pass. A proviso is
agreed upon at this stage, to the effect
that the War, Department is to have
the right to prescribe the grade at
which 14th street passes through the
hospital grounds. This may mean
that it will be carried through below
the general grade Of the reservation.
1t is naturally contemplated that
street cars will be operated later along
this route. The partial lowering Of
the street grade will therefore avoid
grade crossings. from which serious
danger might arise to the patients at
the hospital. 1t would seem that this
compromise meets all requirements
and 1t is gratifying that a troublesome
question has been so happily. settled.
The passage of the bill and the pro-
vision of funds for the extension OF
the street should quickly follow.

Ambassador Wood Sails.

The President has picked a discreet
man for the Spanish mission. Cyrus
E. Wood, who yesterday sailed for
his post at Madrid, said in response
to an inquiry about public questions:

1t Is the era Of interviewing and of
oratory. Nearly every public man,
regardless of his mission or commits
sion, is laid under tribute. He is ex.
pected to contribute something to the
store of public information. If he is
an orator, a speech is demanded; If
not, an interview will do.
The temptation is great. Public

them interesting at present. A man
with message about him has many
opportunities to deliver it.

Washington's White Way"

Business men who have their estab-
1ishments on 9th street, between
Pennsylvania avenue and G street,
are asking for police cooperation in
an effort to clean up that stretch of
thoroughfare. They feel that it has
gained a harmful reputation as a
white way" through the location
there of certain undesirable estab-
lishments and the attraction thither
Of numbers of idle young persons of
both sexes, who make 1t a promenade.
1t has been called a "Bowery." not
altogether to its credit. It has been
the scene of some decidedly unpleas.
ant happenings. At night. with its
flashing electric signs and its nu-
merous picture houses with their
flaming posters, it is pulsing scene
Of restless animation. Naturally the
merchants who have found these con-
ditions developing In recent years are
disturbed. They want the idlers and
promenaders moved along" They
ask for the service Of the police in
keeping the street orderly.
Is there any place in Washington
where such conditions are to be en-
couraged or tolerated? Can the scene
of such activity be shifted elsewhere?
Is this manifestation of the restless
ness of modern young life inevitable? (?
These questions arise in connection
with the present movement Of the 9th
street business men to redeem that
stretch. The enterprises that draw the
crowds are wholly legitimate. They are
operating under licenses regularly is
sued. They are not to be blamed for
the character of the idlers who con-
gregate on the corners or along the
fronts of the shops or by the curbs, or
the promenaders passing back and
forth in review.
If there is any ground for police
intervention in this section action
should be taken. If loafing on streets
is an offense against the law the po-
lice can readily find within a narrow
area material for court cases. But
not all of those who frequent this
stretch are culpable, by long odds. 1t
is a thoroughfare for convenient
passage, much used by highly re-
spectacle people. Many of the fire.
quenters Of the resorts within the
area are far removed from question.

A Line ON Next Year.

Current discussions in Congress at
ford a fairly safe line ON what We
may expect In next years campaign
The war has not made the changes
expected. There are some new topics
but they are treated in the old fashion
while the old topics are treated much
az they have been for years.
The party in power-either party
is always charged with recreancy in
the matter of campaign promises
with ignoring or violating tho terms
upon which 1t obtained power.
Such is the case now. The repub
licans are accused OF stunning with
the tariff. with taxation, with the
railroad problem and with economy
In a word, they are charged with
window-dressing.
In the contest for the Sixty-eighth
Congress all the changes will be rung
on this accusation: all efforts made
to support it; all figures examined for
proof of it.
The record is now being made, and
as the republicans are thus early ad
vised of the criticism they are to en-
counter. they can shape their course
accordingly.
In the end. the warmer the contest
the better. 1t is to be hoped that
next years expression at the polls
may be emphatic: that if what is now
being done and what is done later on
Capitol Hill meet with approval the
authors may be rewarded with an in
dorsement which will spur them to
still further performances Of the same
general character.
