The American Army Is

Strange though it may seem, but
there is a little town way out in

even over night, become an isle Of
golden dreams, and where at least
one person in the world still thinks
that the world is a great place in
which to live and that the people
that inhabit this earth are, may we
say, sympathetic, off the record as
well as on the record" refer to a.
young lad who, desiring to help pay
off the mortgage on his dads home.
ever so innocently asked the Army for
a pair of horses. Well, it seems that
President Roosevelt's spirit of neigh.
borlineSs and his common understand.
ing, has pervaded even the crystal
and steel-like disposition of the Army,
for the lad received the two horses
with tears of joy streaming down his
face. I dare predict that some day
this same lad will be great Army
officer, so great is the power that binds
ones soul to the forces that create
within us our happiness. Such an
incident tears away the war spirit Of
the Army and unfolds in its stead
new coat of peace. 1t is thus that
peace will ultimately be realized, by
the quilting, as it we're, of small deeds
of kindness, that create such a force
that new spirit shall make of US
a new America, a democratic America.

No Such Thing as a
Law.Abiding Citizen
To the Editor Of The Star:

To the Editor of The Star:
You publish a letter from w. ].
Dermott in The Star March l9 under
the heading: Freed Prisoners Menace
to Law-Abiding Society,"" Mr.. Dermott
suggests that I am more in sympathy
with the criminal than l am in
the interest of law-abiding citizens.
In the first place we have no law
abiding citizens. There is no such
thing as a aW-abiding citizen. I con-
tend. We all have criminal instincts
and are more or less infected with
the devil"
In proof that I am not much in
sympathy with the convicted criminal
l have witnessed the execution of more
than 300.
But I have learned that as you
shout so back comes the answer.
If you shout brutality to a man he
will shout back with more brutality.
If Mr. Dermott will go to the Pub
lie Library and there obtain a book
entitled THE Trail of the Dead Years
and read it over very closely he will
learn many things about the convict
he does not now know.
A paroled convict is not free and
the rules of the parole are very strict
and if he violates the rules he will,
times out of 10, go back to prison and
there pay dearly for this misconduct
His fellow convicts will treat him with
contempt and he will not find il
smooth sailing even in prison. Con-
victs as a rule hate parole violators,
as the acts of each affect all.
Five per cent of the total popula-
tion of Washington. D. c., are ex-
convicts. I should think Mr Dermott
would have a hard time getting used
to the smell of them.

Allen has hit upon a non-govern-
mental undertaking for the District
that is distinctly in line with some
of the purposes for which government
financial aid, in the form of self
liquidating loans, will be made avail
able under the pending work-relief
bill. The project would not only
furnish employment, but it would be
of lasting benefit to the community.
But before the administrators of Gov
ernment funds are convinced that the
plan is practical the community and
its medical and social welfare leaders
must also be convinced. There must
be the formulation of a definite,
workable plan which presents its
benefits in such light that they
cannot be ignored.
The first meeting of the Advisory
Committee chosen by Commissioner
Allen, to be held tomorrow, may be
regarded as the starting point in an
undertaking that will figure largely
In the washington of the future.

More Police Needed.

Ihe special subcommittee OF the
House investigating crime conditions
in Washington has rendered public
service in expediting that part of its
report which urges an immediate in
crease in the Police Department.
The committees findings in this re-
spect will be of great value to the
Senate Subcommittee on District APP
propriations, which is meeting today
to begin the final marking up of the
1886 appropriation bill for report to
the Senate.
The special committees report is in
line with the recommendations of the
police and District officials and with
the earnest pleas of a committee of
citizens which made its own, inde-
pendent investigation Of police needs.
1t doubtless will receive the sympa-
thetic consideration of the Senate
subcommittee, which has already re-
ceived evidence from Maj. Brown and
others regarding the necessity for the
modest increase asked.
Major Brown and other witnesses
have pointed out that in spite of the
heavy increase of local population and
automobile registration within the
past few years the police department
| has suffered an actual decrease in
personnel. The decrease resulted
chiefly from the workings of the
economy act. Replacement Of pa
trolmen unwisely dropped in the name
/ of economy should have been accom-
| plished as a matter of routine. But
the recommendations of the Com
misisoners were ignored by the Bureau
of the Budget, while the Commits
sioners, in view of the threatened
shortage of local revenues, were not
able to make requests for increased
police personnel beyond replacement
needs.
The resulting situation finds the
police department undermined to the
extent that, in view of the extraordi-
nary demands for special details in
! connection with various Federal activi-
/ ties, there are not enough patrolmen
| to cover all beats; traffic duty is
/ sighted and other police activities
suffer. The House Committee states
! that:
i This recommendation is based upon
evidence before this subcommittee and
! the testimony of competent witnesses,
each one of whom urged this subcom-
mittee to consider favorably an in
crease in police personnel.
The subcommittee is unanimous in
its conclusion that this addition to
Washington's first line of defense
against crime should be provided-and
at the earliest possible date.
"The earliest possible date" is the
beginning of the next fiscal year. The
Recommendation for the increase
should be carried into the 1886 appro-
priation bill, now before the Senate
Subcommittee on District Appropria-
tions.

Shifting Landmarks.

The evolution of the Capital, in the
execution of broad plan of building
and rearrangement of streets and
parks, entails some sacrifices of IA
miliar features, landmarks that have
stood for many years. This is inev-
table. For the development of WASH
ington, the official headquarters Of
the Federal Government, for many
years pursued an erratic. course. with
out definite plan, and additions to
the equipment we're made without re-
gard for the general effect. Spasmodic
advances were made from decade to
| decade, buildings were placed without
reference to definite system, monu-
ments we're established at convenient
rather than appropriate sites.
Now a change is in progress and
corrections are being made which,
while perhaps Immediately disturbing
will eventually evolve system of order
that will be far more suitable and eff
| fective than the long familiar ar
rangement. Thus the latest proposals
in this course of readjuStment will
cause the removal from their present
sites of two familiar landmarks, the
So-called Peace Monument at the
Pennsylvania Avenue abutment upon
the Capitol grounds on the west, and
the Garfield statue, a short distance
to the south. The former has stood
on its present site for fifty-eight years,
the latter for forty-eight. They are
to go to other locations, not yet de-
termined.
These changes if wisely ordered, will
make for the fuller development of
the Capital and the more orderly rela-
tionship of the various features that
go to its establishment and add TO
its historical significance. The en-
largement of the Capitol grounds to
the north and west, with virtual merg-
ing with the Mall and the wider thor
oughtares that have been created out
of the unsightly surroundings. will give
the National State House" a finer
setting. just as the erection of the
legislative Office buildings, the Library
of Congress and the Supreme Court
have contributed to its dignity and
significance on other f1anks.
: The reinsurance that these changes
are in accord with definite plans COM
forts those who deplore dislocations
that alter the familiar scene. The
hope is that another generation will
not witness. further changes. to con-
form to a different scheme, adopted
without regard to the principles of
relationship that have thus far in the
main governed in the evolution of the
new Washington.

Corcoran Biennial Exhibition.

The fourteenth biennial exhibition
of contemporary oil paintings at the
Corcoran Gallery of Art provides oc-
casion for consideration of the pre-
vailing trend of esthetic enterprise in
America. Indeed, it is for that
specific purpose that the display has
been arranged. The trustees have as
their immediate objective no other
aim than to reflect current develop
ment, to illustrate as comprehensively
as possible what American painters
of today are doing"
1t follows, logically enough, that
the works selected to be shown repre-
sent different schools. different con-
cepts and different methods. In these
respects the pictures mirror the char
acter of American civilization. The
democratic nature of the national
mind and the liberal temperament of
the national spirit are demonstrated
by the canvases themselves and by
their arrangement. Each individual
composition, like each individual art
ist, bespeaks independence. But that
does not signify state of anarchy.
On the contrary, it is manifesto
ton of disciplined freedom-the exhi-
bition is, in effect, an institutionaliza-
ton of the cooperative instinct of the
people; it was brought together in
line with the basic philosophy of the
Nation and severally and corporately
testifies for the fellowship and toler-
ance Of the generality of citizens.
Visitors to The gallery, certainly,
will find subjects and techniques on
view which they will not approve
or enjoy, but they should not forget
that the same rule applies 10 the
books they read, the plays thev see
and the music they hear. Much more
important, in the circumstances will
be the themes and the manners of
treatment which they will discover
among The pictures in harmony with
their standards of appreciation. The
elemental catholicity of the exhibi-
ton will be understood and indorsed
by all who remember that it is inten-
tional, purposeful and both idealistic
and pragmatic. In brief, the trus-
tees have accomplished exactly what
they desired-they have assembled
proof of the vitality, the exuberance
and the increasing maturity of Amer
ican painting.
Professional critics. meanwhile, have
agreed that the fourteenth biennial
has a special importance which may
not be apparent to the casual pill
grim. Skilled in appraisal as they
are, they detect change which the

The Medical Center Plan.

Commissioner Aliens plan for a
great medical and hospital center in
the District deserves, and will doubt
less receive, the close and continued
study of the distinguished group ap-
pointed for that purpose. But the
nature of the plan commends itself to
the thoughtful consideration of all
District organizations of citizens. What
practical handicaps may be found in
the path that must be followed in at
tainment of the objectives outlined by
Mr.. Allen will, of course, be discov-
cred and pointed out by those famil-
lar with the professional problems in
volved. But it is difficult to believe
that any Of these will be so great as
to block achievement, once there
is sufficient public sentiment in favor
of the objectives. And with the de-
STABILITY of the objectives there can
be little or no disagreement.

And leave us wholly unprepared.
A sudden chill new fear awakes
When gentle Spring to smile has
dared
Yet for one mortal far below
Our hearts in gratitude will throb
For it is something good to know
The janitor is on the job.
When lights are bright and songs are
gay
Or sweet repose again is due
We think of one so far away
Whose vigilance is never through.
The radiator still we see
We push wire or turn knob
And sigh, from apprehension free,
The janitor is on the job.
