The Alley Law.

Enactment Of law postponing un-
til June !, 1928. the operations Of the
law recurring the vacation of all alley
dwellings in this District by the 1st Of
November will prevent distressing
condition, provided that within the
next nine months dwellings have been
constructed to house the present alley
occupants. When the law was passed,
in September. 1914. it was confidently
expected that sufficient homes would
be built outside of the alleys to house
all the then occupants of alley build
inSs. But owing to the war, with its
heavy demands for materials and Ia
hor. its effect of high prices and es-
pecially the tremendous congestion of
Washington which marked our en-
trance into the conflict, the work of
building was greatly hampered. Some
progress was made, but not enough to
provide housing for all the alley dwell
ers. 1t is estimated that there are now
about 5000 of these alley houses, occu-
pied by 10000 people.
The question arises. Can enough
houses be built within nine months, in
addition to the other construction work
in Washington, to house the 10000 al
ley dwellers? 1t is true that most of
the alley dwellings are small. occupied
by single families. Tenements or
apartments can be built to accommo-
date larger numbers and require less
time for construction than the number
of separate dwellings, requisite to house
the same numbers. But even SO. it will
be difficult to put such work
through in the time now allotted.
1t is, however. too late to consider
this question. The bill has passed both
houses and will doubtless soon be
signed by the President. Remains now
the work of providing properly for the
housing of those who, under the terms
of the act, must be evicted by June 1
next from the alleys. That work
should be conducted as an imperative
task But who will provide the capi-
tai? The money necessary for it will
not be forthcoming unless it is assured
OF fair return. The rents commission
will. of course, supervise the charges
for the new dwellings, as it does all
others.
Possibly in some measure part Of
the fault for the delay in vacating the
alleys lies with the dwellers therein
themselves. But that fact will not
shelter them when the time comes for
them to move, next June, if there are
not enough houses for them.
Yet these alley dwellings must be
closed. They constitute menace to
the health and morals of the COM
munity. They have been tolerated a
long time. and to them are to be traced
much of the sloth and vice and disease
from which certain parts of the city
suffer. These coming nine months
should be marked by an activity in
building operations that will assure
the city of redemption from this evil
condition.

Mr.. Bryan in Town.

When things get exciting on Capito
Hill Mr.. Bryan comes to town. 1t is q
case of the old war horse and the bat
tie. Mr.. Bryan shifts an engagement
from afar. Only the other day he was
whipping stream in Florida for fish
and yet, dropping his tackle and for
getting the fish, he is now in Washing
ton comforting with party friends anG
advising about legislation.
This has the tang Of leadership. The
democracy is going into action, anG
Mr.. Bryan as a leader is going with
it. Naturally. therefore, he wants al
dispositions well made, all opportuni
ties improved.
This activity is certain to increase
interest in the question. never without
interest, as to Mr.. Bryan's future. Has
he any designs" on 1924? Is hope OF
the presidency still abiding in his
bosom? Is there fourth nomination
in the cards for him?
He is not barred by years. A vigor
GUS man, in the early sixties, he coulG
go the pace on a fourth trial; and how
rapid that pace would be may be gath
cred from recalling his speed in 1896
1900 and 1908, when. although he die
not win. he gave the other side live
ly run for the money.

America and the Philippines.

In his address to the Rotary Club of
Manila. Manuel Quezon. just returned
from his latest visit to the United
States as member of the mission ask
ing for the immediate independence of
the Philippines, said:
1t is silly to talk about seeking
other markets for island goods at this
time, when the United States is the
only country in the world offering us
real money for our products. and
when bolshevism is spreading in Eu-
rope beyond the bounds of Russia.
Why should the Filipinos seek any
thing at this time outside the United
States? This country is befriending
them in every way. AS Mr.. Quezon
admits, it is affording them a good
market for their products, and paying
good money for all purchases. 1t is
affording them protection at IA time
when the world is in a state of ap-
palling disorder. 1t is their shield
against chaos.
Said Mr.. Osmena, another member
of the mission, speaking at the same
meeting:
the friendship of Americans. Good
will between the two peoples is mu-
tually necessary and beneficial.
This is to the point. Americans will
meet every advance made by Filipinos
for strengthening friendship, and
make advances themselves to the same
end.
Gen. Wood is in Office at Manila, and
all will be for the best for the Filipinos
while the authority he represents still
lives. Immediate independence for the
Philippines-the object of the agita
tion Quezon and Osmena have been
reprcsenting-is out of the question;
and they have only to acknowledge the
fact to themselves and confess it to
their followers to perform a valuable
public service.

A Law for Clean Sidewalks.

Though the season for snow and ice
is still some time off, there is reason
for qualification in the action of the
House yesterday in passing a bill al
ready passed by the Senate providing
means to insure the cleaning Of the
sidewalks of Washington in winter.
That measure, if it is sustained by the
courts and is fully enforced. will put
an end to. a condition that has dis
graced the Capital city for many years.
Some years ago snow and ice law,
recurring the removal of such mate
rails from sidewalks within specified
time after the storm. was declared in
operative by the courts, on the ground
that the title to the sidewalks lay in
the United States, and that it was not
within the power Of the government,
directly or through the District as
deputy, to compel property owners or
occupants to clean them. Since then
practically nothing has been done In
winter to insure clear passageways in
the city, beyond appeals to household
ers to clean them.
Now it is hoped that the law just
enacted will meet the objections of the
Evening star., 1922-08-29

courts and that it win be possible to
require sidewalk cleaning. Owners,
lessees and occupants of private prop
erty are required under penalties to
clear the walks within the first eight
hours of daylight following the ceas-
ing of the storm. The District Is also
to clear the walks in front Of property
owned or occupied by it, and the chief
of engineers Of the Army is required
to clear the walks Ut government
property.
If this law works, winter conditions
in Washington will be greatly i'm
proved. The hope is that nothing will
arise to check it's operation. The city
has been at times in a scandalous state
owing to the Indifference of property
and considerate householders have
made it a point always to clear the
walks, while others have neglected
this duty, with the result that passage
along the streets has been not only
highly disagreeable, but even perilous.
While on this matter of snow and
ice, it may be noted that there are
places in this city that are at times
impossible owing to the presence Of
mud on the sidewalks, washed down
from unsodded banks. At these points
pedestrians are forced out into the
streets, in danger from the traffic.
Practically nothing Is done to cure
these conditions. Is there need Of a
mud law as well as a snow and ice
law? Or is there law enough now to
enable the Commissioners to compel
times than in winter?
