The Dust of Progress.

While Washington rejoices in the fact
that the long delayed program of Gov
eminent building construction in the
Mall-Avenue triangle is in actual opera
ton. the present stage of the work Is
entailing nuisance that is bearing Sc
verely upon the community Excavations
are now being made on two sites. those
for the Department of Commerce and
the Bureau of Internal Revenue. Mil
lions of cubic yards of earth are being
moved, and a considerable percentage
of this earth Is dropping from the
trucks, and. ground by the wheels of
traffic into dust. Is being blown about
in clouds. Outside of a few feeble
brushings in the immediate vicinity of
the steam shovels. nothing Is done. to
prevent this condition,
There is no occasion for such
nuisance. 1t can be remedied by the
adoption of the simple method of sprin-
king and sweeping. The streets along
which the dirt-laden trucks run should
be kept clean. Just who viii pay for
this service Is matter to be deter
mined 1t may be District responsible
ity or Federal 1t may be up to the
contractors from whose trucks the dirt
drops in transit But somebody should
see that the streets are kept clean, and
that the choking dtstclouds that swirl
through the streets of downtown WASH
ington, and. In fact. on the entire route
to the dumping grounds, are prevented
and not spread by the winds into stores
and houses and human lungs.

parachute and been picked up by q
waiting boat Every member of the
plane company would have been in
volved in the conspiracy with a thor
ough drilling in detailed narrative,
with large chance of slip and the
ultimate disclosure OF the truth. Fur
thermore, there was no reason to be-
lieve that Loewenstein could have
gained anything by such trick.
On the other hand. the theory of an
accident is countered by material evil
dences. The door through which he
passed, 1t appears, could not have been
opened by mistake for another door
leading to an inner compartment in
stead of to the outer air. inasmuch as
the air pressure made it extremely diff
ficult to operate, and mention was made
in the dispatches at the time of the dis
covery of Loewenstein's disappearance
of the fact that the faSteningS of the
door appeared to have been wrenched
violently, indicating that the banker
was not mistaken as to its identity, but
had deliberately forced 1t and plunged
forth to death,
Now that the body is found, French
judicial proceeding will be had and in
teresting developments may ensue. The
question of jurisdiction is settled by the
fact that the body was recovered from
French waters and taken to a French
port. The plane itself has been held in
since the mishap.

What Is an Amateur

The loss OF William T. Tilden from
the Davis Cup team means something
more than the mere fact that as the
tournament progresses the familiar fig
ure Of Big BIZ is not seen on the
courts. The foreokdained loss OF the
Davis Cup again is Of small significance
compared to the action which has taken
away Americas one remaining hope Of
regaining the trophy. And II popular
reaction means anything, and it does,
the Lawn Tennis Association has
pulled boner' in the ruling that has
dismissed Tliden from the team.
The main facts are these: Tilden,
who writes for the press about tennis,
has broken the rule made by the Lawn
Tennis Association prohibiting an ANA
tenr from writing about games In which
lac is a participant. He wrote about the
recent Wimbledon tournament. Tilden
explains that his articles were confined

tempt 10 report the tournament con-
temporaneousiy He. maintains that he
has not broken the spirit OF the ruling,
although MS articles constitute prima

Hamilton Is Praised
As Greatest Statesman

To the Editor OF The Star;
The "keynoter" of the Democratic
convention at Houston, Tex. was hailed
as a historian, but he seems to have
ignored the fact that the founder of
the Democratic party was nulliflca-
ZIONIST, being the author of the Ken
lucky Resolutions" and that he hlazed
the way for those audaciouS dtsunionists,
John c. Calhoun and Jefferson Davis.
Thomas Jefferson had little to do with
the construction of the Constitution OF
the United States, but he supplied the
heresy that nearly led to its destruction.
He did not believe in a Nation. He
denied the power of the Supreme Court
TO annul an act of Congress. and had
he been successful in getting Chief JUS
tice Marshall off the bench, secession
would have become a fixed principle.
each sovereign State constituting the
Constitution to suit its own ends.
Compared with that greatest of
American statesmen. Alexander Hamil-
ton, a true historian must classify
Thomas Jefferson as simply shrewd
politician.
Hamilton, more than any man Of his
time realized the necessity OF a Gov
eminent that had the power to enforce
its enactments, and that the Constitu-
ton should be the supreme law Of the
land
In Hamilton's day, Tammany Hall
bitterly opposed him. This incorrup-
tihle. fraternal and non-political or
ganization" still voices its opposition TO
the principles of Washingtons chief ad-
wiser The solidarity of the American
people was the patriotic thought that
absorbed Alexander Hamilton.
