THE ENING STAR bus a regular and Permanent circulation much more than the combined circulation of the other Washington dailies. An a News and Advertising Medium 1t has no competitor. CrIn order to avoid delays, on ac- count of personnal absence, letters to THE STAR puld not be addressed to any individual connected with the office, but simply to THE STAR, or to the Editorial or Business Depart- ments, according to tenor or purpose. Commisstoneré, the Board of Trade, ‘entral Relief Committee and the As- ed Charities are co-operating to give so-called Detroit plan a fair test in the Washington. In Detroit last summer 430 acres of land were cultivated by persons; potatoes, turnips, beans, squashes, pumpktns, cucum- bers. cabbages, green corn, beets, etc., were raised; “the land used was in many cases @n abandoned truck garden or very poor soil, there was an unusual drought during the greater portion of the summer, and in every case the land was covered with a thick sod or with weeds when plowed in the month of June;” notwithstanding the lateness of the season and the poorness of the soil, an expenditure of 0, part of which is represented by plows, harrows, etc., still on hand, “netted to the cultiva- tors food to the value of from $12,000 to $14,000." Like the municipal wood-yard or stone- pile the urban truck farm is a tramp re- pellant. Not only has it no attractions for the idle and worthless class, but its ulti- mate tendency ts to relieve the congested dependent population of cities by teaching through a practical object lesson the hon- est and independent livelihood to be wrested from the soil. The City Poor Com- missioners of Detroit state that “nearly a hundred families who had cultivated lots of our committee and had heretofore been cecasional objects of charity, had obtained parcels of ground or small farms near the city to work on shares in the raising of potatoes, beans, etc., some having moved some distance for that purpose. atever extent, smail or great, the plas is put in operation in Wash- ington a corresponding benefit will result to the community. By the exact amount of the net products and profits the cult!- vators will add to their means of support 8 of self- and the drain upon ble Washington next winter will be lessened; and to the extent to which they have been cultivated the loaned lots will Le improved as lawns in connection with future building sites. Everybody will thus enjoy a share in this crop. There is enough money on hand or in easy reach to meet all the expenses liable to be incurred In conducting this expert- ment. The needs are land in as large tracts as possible and volunteer farmers. It is expected that the land will be plowed and harrowed for the latter and seed fur- nished. Let every needy man in the city who de- sires to add to Eis means of livellhood and family support by cultivating a plot of land promptly notify the joint committee! Let every man of means and beneficent instincts who owns or controls an urban or suburban tract of land in the District and is willing to loan it to the community for cultivation this summer, speedily notify the joint cemmittee! — ++ + + __ Tammany dies hard. The tiger was pret- ty badly stunned last November but that he 1s still alive is evident to those who have watched him with interest or anxiety. He wagged his tail last week, but unless the signs are all wrong that particular member will be paralyzed for some time to come. The last meeting of the old political board of police commissioners took place Friday ard at that session, in spite of the opposi- tion of the one reform commissioner up to that time appointed, the Tammany-Platt combination placed upon the retired roll an inspector of police whose reputation was considerably bedaubed by revelations made before the Lexow Investigation committee. ‘There was no good reason why that parti- cular inspector should be given a pension of 61,700 a year, for he is only about forty- eight years of age and, if ultimately proven innocent, ould be able to render a good Geal of valuable service. But the Croker- Platt commission was evidently of the opinion that the new board of commission- ers might, by dismissing this inspector, shut off tke pension, so, disregarding en- tirely the protests of the minority member, the spoilsmen retired their protege and snapped their fingers at decent public opin- jon. It is expected that the new board will organize today; will open up an era of respectability in New York's police depart- ment, will put a sudden stop to the hereto- fore common practice of making that im- portant branch of municipal government subservient to: the needs and demands of thievish politicians. —___+ «= ____ Philadelphia folks who are not person- ally interested tn the welfare of the great trciley combination that appears to be principal proprietor of the Quaker City . have Leen growlirg a good deal of late both as to the obstructive poles and wires and the fenderless condition of the rapld-moy- ing cars. Now, however, the city authori- ties—those who consented to trolley owner- ship of the streets—are very much con- cerned because the trolley roads whose tracks do or soon will surround the city hall are fencing that extremely-expensive building in with those obstacles to traffic which after July next will not be found anywhere in Washington. In view of the demonstrated success of more than one un- derground electric system, it Is truly re- markable that the Philadelphia city coun- cils or any other of the ruling bodies in large cities should permit overhead-trolley extensions. The only reason why there should be urban multiplication of poles and wires Is to be found in the probability that those who permit the growth receive finan- cial benefits In return for the privileges they grant. —__+e+—. It is sald that Governor Morton might serenade the presidential nomination a lit- tie if he could only get Platt and Strong to sing in tune. —_— — + + ____ apan shows sufficient shrewdness in driving a bargain to warrant her retaining the title “Engiand of the Orient.” ek Moral and material reasons tiave com- bined to practically compei the calling of a special meeting of the Washington Board of Trade for the purpose of doing some- thing—no matter how little that something may be—toward ameliorating the demorai- izing condiflons now so conspicuous in the daily life of Afexandria county, Virginia. In defiance of ail that is cleanly in public sentiment, and caring only for the financial reward too frequently achieved by the yiclous, the manipulators of Jackson City, R n and St. Asaph continue with im- pudent persistency to afflict this neighbor- hood with their ofious presence, and te work enormous injury not merely to Alex andria county—in which we have a real, though a@ secomdary, interest—but to the District of Cdlumbia—that comparativeay small, yet important scrap of territory of which every true American desires to be wholly proud. Public sentiment crystallized {nto law drove-€rom the national capital these wha gambled openly end who anade no giLort to conceal their endeavor to cor- rupt such of their fellow-beings as lacked strength of character, but the number of foolish men with money in this region was amply sufficient to tempt the tempters, so the exiled horde sought and found dwelling places along the river border of Alexandria county and within gunshot of Washington. Although their proceedings have been con- sistently illegal and dangerously immoral, neither the state nor the county officials of Virginia have made any apparent effort tc institute such reformatory proceedings as Would be regarded by all decent people as absolutely essential in any community where law is supposed to have a dwelling Place. The state officials, after declaring themselves to be uncompromisingly opposed to the presence of the gamblers and their long train of touts and murderers and thieves, have done nothing; the county offictals have from the outset been on terms of pleasing if not profitable intimacy with the lawless. There would be lite solid ground on which to base public com- plaint if the gambling at the places men- tioned was indulged in only by professton- als, but as a matter of fact proféssionals are consistently on one side of the game; the majority of the losers are men who hold salaried positions either in govern- ment oftices or in private employ. _ How many of these inen have been ruined by association with the altogether undesirable crowd across the river can only be con- jectured, how m money which should be flowing healthfully through the veins of financial Washington has veen drained by the race-track leeches can only be esti- mated, but enough is known to convince the business men of Washington that serious damage ts being done both to them- selves and their employes by the vice which receives practical encouragement from the Virginia authoritics. Of course, the Board ef Trade can do nothing directly to bring about a better state of affairs in Alex- andria county, but it would not be doing its duty to this community were it to neglect a single opportunity to arouse the people of Virginia to the sense of responsibility that is now apparently lacking. It may be that some of the local pessimists will rise to insist that this is a matter with which the Board of Trade has nothing to do—for the friends of Alexander Istand, and St. Asaph, and Rosslyn, have both money and influence—but the people of the District of Columbia will applaud anything and every- thing the Board of Trade or a! y oiher pub- lic force does with the purpose of mitiga ing, if impossible, what cannot honestly be regarded as otherwise than an unmixed ———__~+ + __ There were one hundred and eighteen men employed upon the city post-office building today and until the overdue supply of iron comes in more rapidly the has b coming of late, any considerable incre: in the force is improbable.
