In its own government. One Of these,
which Commissioner Allen approves
and which is now being studied for
embodiment in legislation, is the right
of the local community to recall the
Commissioners, or any Of them, when
their actions are demonstrably adverse
to the sentiment and wishes Of the
community. The Commissioners are
now in no way responsible to the local
community, although the incumbents
have been extraordinarily jealous in
seeking to learn local sentiment and
act in accordance Herewith. But an
act of Congress conferring upon the
community the right of recall over the
appointed Commissioners could hardly
fail to be beneficial in its effect and,
coupled with some established method
of learning local sentiment on legis-
lative and tax matters. through ad-
visory referendum, in respect to which
the community might be permitted to
take the initiative, would represent
measurable progress toward giving the
people of the District form of real
epresentation"-a matter to which
Mr.. Allen promises to devote his serv-
ices as Commissioner.
Discussion of changes beneficial to
the District and designed to confer
representation on the local community
is good thing. Commissioner Aliens
leadership in the discussion and in
efforts to reach a tangible goal is of
great value.

Representation for the District.

1t is gratifying to note that Com
missioner Allen sees national repre-
sentation in Congress and in the elec-
toral college as the fundamental, ulti-
mate objective toward which move
ments to give the people of the Dis
trict some form Of real representa-
ton" should be directed.
For, if the local community is ever
to have voice in it's own affairs, in
clud!ng the levying and expenditure of
all taxes, this is the basic change in
the system of local government nee
essary to obtain that privilege. Such
a grant of the American principle of
representation in Congress would take
nothing from the constitutional pre-
rogative of Congress exclusively to
exercise the power of legislation in
the District. 1t would merely give
to the District the right of representa-
ton in its exclusive legislature that
is enjoyed by every other group of
Americans.
Pending the passage by Congress
of the resolution submitting to the
people a constitutional amendment
granting to Congress the power to
give the District the right of repre-
sentation in Congress and access to
the Federal courts, there are other
steps which might be taken toward
partial representation of the District

been designated by the name Of one Of
New York's most beloved and hon.
ored citizens, william Cullen Bryant.
Protest has just been made to the
municipal park commissioner by an
association of merchants against this
change on the ground that it would
be the act of an ungracious commun-
ity in failure to keep the faith when
the space was dedicated as a memorial
to New York's great son Of letters
and peace"
1t is mistake to change community
place names, and it is to be hoped
that New York will not set the bad
example Of altering the designation
Of one Of its now historical areas.
There should be some other way Of
honoring the Lost Battalion than by
taking place already dedicated to
the memory Of a notable citizen.
Much bad art has been perpetrated in
the past under the influence of this
urge to recognize heroes and valor-
Gus achievements. These art forms
are feature of the history of the
country. cultural as well as political
and military. Washington has some
of these souvenirs Of earlier judgments
which do not conform to present
modes and ideals. but it would not
willingly part with them on the score
of their being outmoded. for they are
part Of the composite record of the
past and they are cherished for the
significance they once held and the
story they tell Of the course of events
and the change in public standards.

both sides recognize this. and both

that it cannot easily be overcome.
The American people must de-

Several significant factors are noted
by the press in the appointment Of
Miss Frances Perkins to act as nego-
tiator between employers and employees
in the steel controversy. Some OBJ
servers are of the opinion that the
President felt the need for more
conciliatory representative than Gen.
johnson, while others regard the ac-
ton as the first step in the resumption
by the fixed departments Of their
former functions, temporarily taken
over BY N. r. A. It is the consensus
that the Secretary of Labor will be
particularly sympathetic toward the
demands Of labor.
The Wichita Eagle believes that
Miss Perkins has drawn the most
important, as it is the most difficult,
task in the country. She is to be the
Presidents alter ego In the steel labor
controversy"
while the placing Of such an un-
dertaking in the hands of woman is
important" says the jamestown
IN. Y.) Post. the essential factor is
the success she may make of it. If
she wins in bringing the two sides
into agreement, it will be not only to
the credit of the department she
represents, but will signify achieve
ment in widening the field Of action
of her sex. 1t is true that many of
the bars which formerly held back
womans effort have been lowered in
recent years. However, the physical
labor of producing steel is a mans
job. That makes particularly excep-
tional the fact that on q woman has
been placed the responsibility of try
ing to negotiate satisfactory relations
in a branch of industry from which
those of her sex are barred as
workers"
The Burlington Hawkeye Gazette.
however. contends that this sort Of
thing is really no new task for the
sex. and that millions of American
women, every day, are settling rows
among children about household jobs
and chores" The same paper adds
that Queen Elizabeth of England
seems to have taken a hand-and a
strong one-in the organized labor
troubles of her time"
"This move" states the Muskegon
Chronicle, brings the Department Of
Labor back into the picture again,
after it had been all but obscured for
a year by the predominant N. R. A.,
and the semi-official Labor Board,
named by the President last Fall and
headed by Senator Wagner, author OF
the now discarded labor bill" This
paper feels that this "is as it should
be-" since "the Department of Labor
was created for the express purpose
of giving the vastly important inter-
ests of labor representation in the
executive counsels of the Nation"
"The steel workers may expect a
much more sympathetic hearing from
Miss Perkins than they had from
Gen. Johnson" comments the Youngs-
town Vindicator, and the Charlotte
Observer agrees that "if the Labor
Secretary has any spirit Of partisanry
in such duties, 1t will reveal itself
more on the side Of labor than Of
capital, unless her whole tenor of
thinking has been misconstrued"
This very fact seems to the Rich
mond Times Dispatch to illustrate
zone of the prime obstacles to the
compulsory arbitration of labor dis

There is Moo Cow lane, and the Lane
That Knows No Turning, although the
latter is rare enough, for the first
requisite of such a thoroughfare Is
that 1t turn somewhere.
The second essential is comparative
narrowness, although even here Moth
ing runs true to form or legend, for
some of our best lanes are wide as
any streets.
The lane complex, II 1t may be
called, breeds a certain superiority.
Those who live in lanes hold their
noses just a trifie higher than those
whose residences are in just plain

At one time, in the history of urban

The French people have a way of
