Con- ceding that the racing people have spent @ good deal of money which directly and indirectly worked in the direction of bet- ter agricultural and industrial conditions it cannot be denied that the demoralization consequent upor the presence of the race- track has cost this neighborhood much more than a ten-fold multiplication. of the cash disbursements would amount to. With the estatlishment of the race-track came” the importation of some most disreputable people. Crime has increased as a conse- quence of this immigration and serious and lesting injury has been wrought young men who have foolishly succumbed to the temptations offered by occasional oppor- tunities to make money with dishonest rapidity. The decent pecple of the District of Columbia and Virginia and of every- where else will be delighted if the courts shall decide that Alexander Island is within this jurisdiction. The atmosphere hereabouts will be much sweeter there- after even though the philanthropic en- deavors of those whose financial interests bind them to pool-selling race-tracks Le brought to sudden conclusion. If the Alex- andriz. county race-tracks disbursed five millions of dollars yearly they would be on the debit side of the moral ledger just the same; and they would take away from here much more cash than they would spend—that is what they are in the busi- ness for. ‘THE EVENING STAR.

This relief is of course merely temporary, and absolutely nothing has been accom- plished in the direction of a satisfactory and permanent solution of the problem of disposing of the garbage. It is necessary (1) to decide upon a radical change in the method of garbage disposal, (2) to secure an appropriation from the municipal funds entirely adequate to carry into effect the em adopted, and, (3) if the garbage dis- pesal is to be by contract, to deal only with responsible contractors and to so frame the contract that they and their bondsmen can be held to the responsibility which they as- The modern methods of garbage sal are either by reduction or destruc- ‘The District must no longer commit — = ___ One of the coolest propositions ever made te Congress is that which calls for an ap- prepriation of $26,200 to widen the Aqueduct Bridge so as to permit street railways to cress the river on that structure, and then insist) that after the government shall tion. a nuisance by dumping its refuse upon the property of its protesting neighbors, or in- jure the public health by consigning it to to accommodate the railroad companies, the companies are to collect a toll of dne cent from each passenger carried across, and, from the fund thus accumulated, re- imburse the government. It has been rep- resented to one of the Congressional com mittees that there are three electric rail- ways cn the other side of the Potomac that desire to have access to railways now terminating in Georgetown, but unless there is improvemen‘ in the bridge facil- ities they must continue to be disconnected. In view of the fact that none of the rail- way cempanies in question—nor any other, for that mat*-r—has ever paid the District of Columbia one cent for the valuable franchises they own, it is but reasonable to intimate that such of the companies as de- sire this trans-Potomac connection should pool their issues and their cash and either pay for the bridge-widening they ask Con- gress to undertake, or a rental for the same without increase of fare to their pas- sengers, or else construct—under the char- ter of the Arlington road—an independent bridge at some point west of the Aqueduct Bridge The Aqueduct Bridge is now free to all sorts of passengers; the proposition of the railroad companies is to make it especially free and profitable for the rail- ways and burdensome only for the rail- ways’ passengers. The privilege of bridge occupation would be worth a great deal to the waters of the Potomac. If the garbage were removed in closed metallic tanks from the houses to the station and by rail on special cars in the same unopened tanks to a reduction plant on some farm outside of the city and District the best results would probably be accom- plished. The reduction method is the cheapest because the treatment gives to the garbage a considerable market value. Indeed a well-managed reduction plant can almost afford to collect the refuse, its raw material, for nothing; being compensated by the sale of its manufactured product. ‘This method is also most effective in thor- oughly cleaning the city. Where every ad- ditional pound of garbage collected means increased profit to the contractor, he will neglect no back-yards or alleys. Under our present system the less garbage the con- tractor collects the greater his ease and profit. The one method puts a premyim upon activity in collection; the other upon slothfulness and neglect. The other modern system of garbage dis- posal is by destruction through incinera- tion. This method, which develops nothing of value from the refuse, !s more expensive than the reduction process, but is otherwise equally satisfactory, if cempensation is based on the amount of garbage cremated, thus assuring a thorough collection. One of these systems should be selectéd and pressed upon Congress with energy and de- te-mination. The hints in respect to the necessity of securing an adequate appro- priation, responsible contractors, and a contract that will held water, are justified by the events of the last few years of mu- yal history. A contract to collect and dispose of the city’s garbage for a term of} years at a fixed price is not an agreement as long as ihe contractors find it or as long as their existing plant | unburned or their scows unsuni< | | | get hold of it; why then should the fortu- nate company or companies endeavor to shift the accompanying financial burden from their own shoulders to those of the traveling public? —_+ e+ —____ Critics of the modern drama—peopie who see in it little else than evil—may reason- ably be asked io restrain the ferocity with which they have attacked so many vari- ties of stage realism and should ponder deliberately over the moral iniuences e: erted by some of the plays that are now lo so le to pro! or their horses in good condition or to do so in such a manner with such neglects | being presented to the public gaze.
