Pedestrian Control Proposal
Stimulates Study of Problems


Increased interest in and study
OF traffic and safety problems APP
pears as a result of the proposed
enactment Of pedestrian control
regulations. Additional organiza-
tons have gone on record as
favoring some form Of pedestrian
regulation. There is apt to be a
wide variation of opinion regard
ing the details of such regulation.
Organizations approve of the
way in which the Commissioners
OF the District are proceeding to
handle the matter. The proposal
that the Commissioners Com
mittee draft suggested regula-
tons after thorough study of
the question and that full citi-
zen hearing be given is con-
sidered most important. There is
general agreement that, to sue
coed, the pedestrian restrictions
must have wide public support
or they will be just some more
unavoidable and unenforceaole
regulations.
Suggestions are being made
that there will be need for adj
ditional traffic restrictions as TO
vehicles if regulation of the pc
destrians is to be practicable. A
longer time on the caution light,
more walk lights" of type
more readily seen, and warning
bells to sound before the lights
change at intersections are among
some of the suggestions heard
from some of the organized and
unorganized pedestrians. An
other is that the stop and 20
lights should be suspended over
the center of the street inter-
sections instead of on the corners
so as to give better visibility.
In connection with this last
suggestion attention has been
called to the difficulty of picking
out the traffic lights along sucn
streets as Fourteenth, Seventh
and F streets, where there is such
a display Of many colored elec-
trio signs as to be confusing to a
driver. The competition between
these signs and the traffic lights
is keen with the odds decidedly
in favor Of the signs. The red,
orange and green traffic lights
appear as just some more lights
In a confusing mass of brilliant
colors and to many a driver are
one continuous headache.
1t is claimed that were the
lights suspended over the center
Of the street intersection much Of
the confusion would be banished.
There are some, who are always
looking at the cost of the mu-
nicipal services, who tell us that
fewer lights would be needed II
this plan was followed. One
four-way light at each intersec-
ton. they claim, would take the
place of two or more which are
now required.
Districts Legislative Program
Remains to Be Formulated.
The more than 80 legislative
proposals submitted by District
departments have yet to be con-
sidered and acted upon by the
Commissioners. It was expected
that conference would be held
on October IS between the Com
missjoners, corporation counsel
and possibly other District OH.

Civic Problems, Civic Bodies
District Again q Bystonder;
Pedestrian Law Studied

many OF such students graduate
before they do anything toward
giving District residents those
vital and fundamental American
rights which they are now denied.
Organized civic Washington
continues to be optimistic and
looks forward to the, not distant,
day when national election day
will really mean something more
to the District than simply look
ing on from the side lines. They
believe the District has a per-
fectly sound case which must
surely triumph and through the
solution Of key-problem No. /
find a real solution to many other
problems.
Washington Community Chest
Campaign Starts Wednesday.
The day after the Districts
votless election day is a day when
every man, woman and child Of
the metropolitan area can vote.
On Wednesday, November 8, the
1899 Community Chest annual
appeal will open. Gen. John j.
Pershing at rally of the workers
cheers them on to a smashing
victory.
This is community job which
must be done and done COM
pletely. But for the sfinely
planned machinery of the Com
munity Chest the civic and the
social-minded of the District
would have to take part in one
campaign after another all
through the next year. But for
the Community Chest undertake
ing this big financial task in one
united appeal the residents of
the District would be ANNOYED
throughout the year with 81
appeals. Now there is an oppor-
tunity for the workers to do their
part in one campaign, for the
donors to make one contribution
for all and have every dollar
count more than under the old
way.

WARS AND THE NEGRO

The Negro-American has been in every that the
United States has engaged and by his vaor and bravery
proved beyond any doubt that he is patriotic citizen
However the prosecutions and determinations because some
people do like the color God Almighty made them,
enough to make less formidable people turn their allegiance
Communism with it's promises of equal and fair deal
would Negro but for several reasons
notably among them that as Christian
that he takes pride in being part of the greatest
Democracy in the world and will not captate to the appeal
of those bent destroying that institution, but will fight
to correct existing conditions and to protect his equity
Saying that the will fight existing conditions and
adhere the doctrines of groups wishing to change
the form of government does that they have the
patience of Job and will endure and 1t that
the Negro is satisfied with the form of government the
laws and FORTH but is dissatisfied with the administration

amendments the constitution would be the the
problem as far civil rights were concerned.
When clouds appear in the sky they have in the
few weeks how will Negro the this
country drawn into the conflict? Before drawing any
conclusions let review the results of previous fought
by the United States
The Civil War; while not designed to give freedom to
the race fought hold the Union together would
have given freedom to the millions of Negroes bondage
the South had compromised by returning the Union and
keeping their slaves This would put off for time major
disaster because militant slaves their free brothers in the
north and the Aboltonsts would have thrown off the
shackes of bondage. The world brought the Negro
from the South to the industrial north where he
ployed in parts of industry Then the recent split
between labor found him driving wedge into the ranks
of organized labor where he has been barred from
bershp except few instances Now when and if the
comes, the Negro will closer parity
in civil and industrial rights still he does not if
be avoided This be attested the prayers
Negro churches throughout the nation against war; but
America has to go he will be the front line as he
always as been but with the demand for justice and fair
play to his loved
