4 _THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. SATURDAY... THE EVENING STAR has a regular and permanent circulation in Washington three limes larger than that efany ether paper in the city. As = lecal NEWS paper and Ad- ertishag Medium it has ne competitor. ————— ee ‘The time will soon expire within which under the excise board's notification applications for licenses under the new law by those holding the old liquor licenses must be made. The liquor dealers are disregarding the board’s notification, and are refraining from applying for the new licenses. It is absolutely essential Doth to the public interest and to the excise board's reputation fora faithful and courageous Performance of its duty that the appellate court's decision in the Busch case, when made, if favorable to the District, shall be practically applicable to the cases of all the liquor dealers who are now selling without the new licenses. ‘If these dealers do not apply for such licenses and no cases of illegal selling are made up against them, a delayed decision in the Busch case would be practically ineffective so far as they are concerned. It would be easy to post- pone the Busch case until the beginning of the next license year, and in the event of this deferred decision of the question it would be too late to enforce the law against several hundred offenders, against whom no evidenco had been previously collected. Even if it should be made certain that the Busch case will be speedily disposed of by the appellate court, there would be no reason why the alternatives should not be enforced against the liquor dealérs of applying for the new licenses or of being taken into court, so that the appellate court's decision might be immediately ap- plicable to them. It might not be fair, if this decision were soon expected, to push cases in the Police Court to final action, since there is now no appeal from the Police Court's decision, and the liquor dealers would be thereby deprived of the benefit of « favorable opinion in the Busch case. The ex- cise board might delay action for a few days on for the new licenses, so that the Sesuiecs canada asad Gad Go soas funded if the appellate court should decide that the new licenses are unnecessary. And liquor eases in the Police Court could in fairness be held up s few days with their disposition sub- ject to the Busch case decision. But the ex- cise board and its legal advisers have not the slightest anticipation of a reversal of Judge Miller’s decision, and a policy of indifference end inaction, which may result in serious pub- lic injury, is neither in accordance with their own wishes and tendencies, nor with public sentiment. —__+-+___ No feature of Washington is more beautiful or, at this season especially, more attractive than ite system of parks, Wisely and artistically planued and cared for under sympathetic and thorough'y capable officials, thes tree-dotted expanses of greensward awake the admiration of every stranger. To keep these reservations in order involves a consider- able expenditare of governmental energy.which is another name for dollars, and many of these dollars could be applied to the further beauti- fying of the city’s breathing places were the money not needed to clean up the debris left bebind by people who never stop to think. No Washingtonian would willfally disfigure any park, yet thousands of them scatter fragments of edibles and millions of paper scraps all over the grassy surfaces, and to such au extent that were there no cleansing efforts for a week or 50 the places of beauty would be transformed inte very untidy stretches of sod. The girl who goes inte a park to read her letters, and who, after reading, teacs them into minute frag- ments and scatters them all around, causes wore trouble than sny one else, for the tiny pieces cannot be swept up, they must be picked up. Col Jobn M. Wilson, who has charge of the public grounds, is endeavoring to bring the parks to the highest possible state of perfectionand at the same time desires their more general use by the pub- lic. He deserves and will appreciate considera- tion shown by those who, sinners in the past, will refrain from using the reser vations as rub- Dish heaps. ——_—_++2___—_ Tt has been officially announced that M.

It isa trifle overdue but with additional lung power it vehemently makes up for lost time. The City of Brotherly Love | is afflicted with the trolley in its worst form and unless there is interference there will + soon be no other form of street car motor witnin the the corporate bounds. This antiquated and angerous concition of affairs might be toler- ated were there no efficient substitute for the “cheap and nasty” systera which an electricity- eoutrolling trust has forced upon so many communities, but it is extremely irksome, to speak of itmildly,when there is inactiveand pro- | fitable existencea much more efficientand wholly unobjectionable style of propnision; such, for instance, as that employed on the U street end of the Rock Creek Company's right of way. And it is this that impels the Philadelphia Press to institute companions of the most | Odious description. ‘The construction of the says the s the natural result of the re- ss to sanction the overhead it continues,” is an illustration of what can be done under the pressure of | necessity. It would have suited the Washing- ton company much better to use the overhead trolley, because its first cost would have deem mach less. If it could have influenced | Congress with the same ease that the Phil adelphia companies control our councils the overhead system would have been dis- figuring the strests of the capital at this time. But Congress has prohibited both horse power and overhead trolleys, and Washington underground system in Washington,” Press, will, therefore, have the very best system of | street transit possible, and when it is finally se- cured the companies as well as the people will have every reason for satisfaction.” The state- ment is perfectly accurate and it is ensily possi- ble taat within two or three years the roads now operated by horse power will be run by either storage batteries. compressed air or such an underground system 3 that which works so satisfactorily and is so highly commended. Proceeding with its dis cussion of s most important topic the Press says that the cost of putting in the underground trolley is naturally “much greater than the construction of that overhead, and that is the chief objection to it, since it can hardly be regarded as any longer | mee! an experiment. It is in successfal operation in European cities, at the national capital, and Philadelphis enterprise is introducing it in Bos- ton. With the poles and overhead trolley wires once up all over this city they may be expected to remain indefinitely.” But there are other contrasts besides that of motors in which Washington has the advantage and acts as an examplar for all other cities. One of these is as to stroet-railway con- | K: struction, another cause for drab-colored grief. “In Washington,” says our cotemporary, ‘the rails are placed and the pavement laid in such way as to scarcely make a break in the emooth surface of the asphalt, which comes close up to the rail on either side. A light carriage can be driven across at almost any angle without « jar. It is different in this city. In every instance where the asphalt pavement hav been laid on streets occupied by passenger railway tracks rows of heavy Belgian blocks have been placed on ench side of the raile. The surface of these blocks, always uneven, stands up above the asphalt surface and destroys what ought tobe the evenness of the whole street. Itis being done with all the new tracks that | of ‘are being laid for the trolley lines, and it would not be tolerated in Washington.” The day of the trolley and the rough street paving have, so far as this city is concerned, gone by. Congress has decreed against both. —_—___ +. Willing to recognize his responsibility and prompt "to take the ree Sece retary Lamont has decided to put an immedi- ate end to the devastation which « trolley rail- road company is doing on the Gettysburg battletield. Some days since Tux Stax directed sttention to the vandalism which was eliminat- ing some and marring others of the most inter- esting topographical features familiar to those who fought on or have visited the historic ground. For atime it seemed doubtful as to whether the Secretary could interfere, but the authority was finally found in the law of last Congress which appropriated the sum of twenty- five thousand dollars “for the purpose of pre- serving the lines of: battle at Gettysburg, for marking the positions of the vari- ous commands and for determining the leading tactical positions of batteries, regiments, brigades, divisions, corps and other organizations, with reference to the study and correct understanding of the battle.” To any one who knows how the railroad com- pany has been blasting and tearing down in some places and building up in others it must beevident that such a construction as that permitted by the Gettysburg town council would necessarily defeat the intent of Congress, and so the Secretary concluded. About the first thing to be attended to is the appointment of the com- mission whose duty it will be to locate the monument sites, and as soon as that body has an existence it will, through the Secretary of War, ask for an injunction to permanently re- strain the greedy corporation that has done great damage to a tract of country which should be hardly less sacred than the estate of Mount Vernon. Every veteran in the land, no matter what the color of his uniform thirty years ago, and every man and woman who reslizes that it was through such strife as that at Gettyburg that this nation reached true greatness, will be glad to hear that the scene of heroism uneclipsed is to be preserved from destruction. —_+____.
