the disturbance of which is not to be
regarded as feasible or desirable.
Other streets, however, need not be
so considered. The east and west
streets between the Avenue and B

be closed If conditions require.
This Is the time to discuss and de-
eide upon the street layout under the
new conditions Of a wholesale build

bounded area. Thought will doubt

sons containing enough different
types to allow every one to select his
own companions. The mistake is
made by the average person in too
readily falling in with those with
whom chance throws him.
When one takes in mind all the
sensitive, timid souls who allow
others to direct their very thinking
for them. he Is compelled to believe
that nothing less than general
shaking loose from old associates will
do them any good.
They prefer "rip-roaring" stories,
but are prevailed upon by acquaint-
ances to read "high-brow" literature.
Or, conversely. they most admire and
enjoy impeccable specimens of learned
literature, but are shamed out of it
by the "low brows' they run with.
Either way, there is the loss of a
genuine life.
Why should one not do what he
pleases, so long as he does not run
counter to decency, law and order, and
that sort of thing?
The dog does 1t, and the cat, and the
stars in heaven, and the fish beneath
the seas-everything except man lives

stages, are afraid to call themselves
their own, or even voice their honest
opinion. The ramifications of society
make us less than fishes, stars and
flowers.
We need somebody to "shake us out
Of it."
That was what the Great War did
for many man.
Hence today everywhere you will
find grave-faced fellows who are not
exactly the same. They look older
because they went through much.
Yet any one may work a similar
revolution in his own life If he makes
up his mind to it. 1t is not exactly

There is certain age, varying with
the man, when the realization comes
that real living is living ones own

Lives built on this pattern finally

Pass the Grade-Crossing Bills!

Two bills were yesterday approved
by the House District committee
which, having been passed already by
the Senate, should be put through to
enactment at the present session,

of these authorizes an appropriation
of $255, 900 for the elimination of the
grade crossing at Michigan avenue in

$405, 900.
In view of the recent shocking trag.

persons lost their lives at a grade

whatever of the elimination at the
earliest possible moment of all these
death traps in the District. The

recommended by the Commissioners
for immediate correction. 1t Is regard
ed as the first on the list Of annual
works OF this character. II the bill
authorizing the elimination is passed
at this session. an appropriation to
that effect can be carried in the final
deficiency bill if the District appro-
priatfon bill has meanwhile passed be-
yond the point of amendment. This
should surely be the program. Post
ponement of the actual work on the
correction of this highly dangerous
crossing may mean a serious loss of
life.
Nearly twenty years have elapsed
since the completion OF the work of
embarrassing elimination in the city
in connection with the construction
of the new Union Station and the re-
arrangement of the railroad tracks.
1t was the promise then that the sub
urban grade crossings would all be
cured in a very short time. In fact,
only a few of them have been abol-
ished and some of the worst remain, a
daily, hourly menace to life.

made for carrying the street car line
which crossed the tracks at that point
over a viaduct on Monroe street. a few
rods to the south. 1t was then con-
templated that the street crossing
would be Immediately corrected. Moth.
ing was done. however. and with the
passage of the years the traffic on
Michigan avenue has grown to
point where there is, every hour of the
day. the greatest danger of a shocking
catastrophe.
Barrier gates are not an effective
safeguard. The only real safety lies
in an overhead or an underground
crossing, and whatever the cost or the
incidental inconvenience---in this case
there would be but little disturbance
of traffic pending construction, in
view of the nearby Monroe street via
duct-this work should be undertaken
without further delay.

The Congressional Sense of Humor

II the unhappy episode of last
Tuesday in a committee room of the
House of Representatives. when
member OF the House grapp1ed with
another member and precipitated
general melee in the course Of a hear
ing on a bill. Is to be treated by the
House with no more than the face
tious introduction of a measure pro-
viding an arena for fisticuffs and
personal encounters in the future,
then there Is indeed little hope for
any advance toward the establish
ment and maintenance of orderly
behavior I'm the halls Of legislation
The affray in committee room was
disgraceful exhibition of temper and
reflected seriously upon the dignity
of the House. Thus far there has
been no move toward rebuke or re-
striction of such conduct. 1t has
been passed over laughingly as Just
one Of those things" 1t has ELECTED
floor of the House. 1t has brought
forth no apology and no assurance
of protection to witnesses appearing
before committees in the future.
Little faith can be felt in the
adoption Of a standard Of seemly
conduct in committee rooms hence
forth when such a shameful affair
can be so trif1ingly treated as by
the presentation in mock solemnity
Of a measure providing for joint
committee on challenges, bouts,
fights and duels." Far more to the
purpose would have been a serious
resolution of inquiry with view to
the summouing of all participants
before the committee on rules for
consideration of some measure of
punishment for breach OF the
peace.
In earlier times, when the code
duello was in vogue. members or
Congress were wont occasionally to
meet on the field of honor" usually
at Biadensburg. there to settle their
differences by the then established
mode. Bad as 1t was. that procedure
was far preferable to the present
flare. practice. 1t
was at least orderly and was gov
erned by definitely recognized forms
and ceremonies. 1t sometimes led to
results. The present mode leads
nowhere. least of all to the elimina-
ton of an obnoxious offender against
the generally accepted rules of con-.
duct in public as well as private
places. There is something to be said
for the ancient system as against
the modern free-for-all under con-
gressional immunity.

Mr.. Coolidge's intention touching 1928,
we would prefer the testimony of an
other Butler to that of the prophetic
doctor. What does William NJ. Butler
of Massachusetts, say? At the risk of
being accused of setting up a rival
oracle, we suggest here and now, with
out qualification, that the Republican
party in 1928 will not embrace the wet
cause, and that If Mr.. Coolidge is re-
nominated the election will not turn
on the thirdterm issue. West OF the
Alleghenies is a considerable voting
area which DIR. Nicholas Murray But

graph (Republican) adds it's testimony
that 'if Mr.. Borah and DIR. Butler
