THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. FRIDAY..... CROSBY 5S. NOYES. HE EVENING STAR has a regular and permanent circulation tach more than the combined circulation of the other Washington dailtes. As a News and Advertising Medium it Py mo competitor. t7In order to avoid delays, on ac- count of personnal absence, letters to THE STAR should not be addressed to any individual connected with the office, but simply to THE STAR, or to the Editorial or Business Depart- ments, nccording to tenor or purpone. Indge Bingham decides without hesita- tion that a corporation which Is violating luw and which asks a court of equity to prevent the authorities from preventing it from violating law, does not come into court with clean hands. The statute law denies the right of the Eckington road to use overhead wires within the city. The court reafiirms that denial, and refuses to forbid the Commissioners to enforce the law by removing the illegal poles and wires. ‘The railroad company continues, however, to violate the law, and seeks another court for the purpose of profiting by illegal use of the overhead wires and by opportunities of seeking a change of the law during the interval which must elapse before the upper court can give it a final knock-out. Was it impossible to prevent the proceedings from getting into such shape that merely the company’s appeal fs thought to suspend in effect the law, and to stay the hand of the officials who would enforce it? Can the law be thus paralyzed and ts officers ren- dered impotent? Assuming that the Com- missioners may not, pending the eppeal, cut down the poles, in spite of the fact that the court has sald that they may not be forbidden to do so, is there no other way of checking, the flagrant defiance of law involved in the continued fllegal use of. the overhead wires? Have the Commissioners exhausted their ingenuity and thelr power? The community will expect in the movement upon the illegal overhead wires a persist- ency and a fruitfulness of resource in over- coming technical obstacles and the law's delays, which will at least equal the extent to which the same qualities were displayed in the prosecution of illegal occupants of the sidewalks. ——__<e+—___ According to the report of Major Charles FE. L. B. Davis—who has charge of the im- provement of the Potomac river and like engineering work In this vicinity—there is necessity for congressional declaration as to the future of the 621 acres of reclaimed Jand which cover up the old Potomac flats. Of course everybody understands that Con- gress intended all this reclaimed tract to be a part of the magnificent system of parks which, In the near future, will give to Washington more of attractiveness than it has ever possessed, but supposition will not do as a basis for action, so Congress should and will be asked to declare itself and to say just what it proposes to do for the improvement of an extensive area which will, unless it is thoroughly patrolled by a sufficient police force, be put to im- Proper uses. Major Davis says that there is constant effort on the part of individuals and corporations to secure foothold, and this effort will doubtless continue until it is definitely understood that the elevated flats have been dedicated to the uses and general betterment of the public. A com- paratively small sum of money will do the work of preliminary improvement which Major Davis deems to be immediately necessary, and this sum Congress will un- doubtedly appropriate if the matter is Properly presented to it. There should be no compromise meanwhile with those who seek to achieve illegal occupancy. Contri- butions from all national taxpayers have been Invested In the improvement; @iscrim- inations in the matter of enjoying it in the Interest of individuals or corporations would be conspicuously unfair. ———~ ++ —___ Just why proprietors of comparatively high buildings should be go regardless of the clearly-expressed intent of the law and so careless of the public rights as to actively oppose the fitting of their high buildings with fire-escapes is something not easily to be understood. It would nat- urally be supposed that the owner of a large structure ordinarily occupled by a number of people would be a little more anxfous than anyone else to have that structure equipped with all reasonable means of escape when a conflagration threatens life. Aside entirely from the purely selfish view of the case—which of itself would seem to dictate liberal expen- diture in line with the fire-escape law— there are broad, humane reasons for obe- dience to the statute. From this city, and not so long ago, men and women were hastened into eterntty because there was lack of facilities for reaching a place of safety from upper floors. It is to be hoped that the District Commissioners will not be compelled to use what practically amounts to force In order that reasonable fire-escape equipment of large buildings may here be the rule and not the excep- tion. —__ + ¢ = -____ If a commercial corporation were to con- duct its business as Congress very fre- quently dces the business of the United States, the firm would be bankrupt in a very little while. An instance of con- gressional folly ts to be found in the fact that a large proportion of the employes in the various navy yards of the United States will be discharged about August 1, not because there is lack of work that really reeds to be done, but because Congress paid no heed whatever to the recommenda- tions of the naval authorities when they asked for appropriations which would at once provide the auxiliary navy with the armament it would have to carry in time of war and hold tegether the trained forces of expert artificers. When the recommen- dations referred to were made The Star did its part in endeavoring to impress the congressional mind; now ft can only join with the multitude in regretting that a considerable number of highly-trained me- chanics must suffer serious personal in- convenience while the United States is bound ultimateiy to be financially the loser. —__+ «+ --—__. An old topic once more makes appearance through the annual report of Col. John M. Wilson, superintendent of public buildings and grounds. Col, Wilson recommends an appropriation of $ within the ve Mansion directly opposites the Tre: building, of 5 for s for the is structure,” says he, “could be by a wide feuntains and statu feans. The conservatory could open into a pie ‘e@ ga Yy connected with two wide corridors with t Room and these improvements would serve a double pur- pose by ving the mansion of the ter- rible ert incident to the evening official receptions.” P-opositions tending toward a similar conclusion have been made fre- quently of iate years. One of these was to add two wings lo the present structure, the new buildings extending mainly to the rear of the White House so as to change as lit- tle a3 possible the appearance of the bulld- ing from the principal point of view; but the prop national legislature never gave the any particular standing. Then thing like an effort was made to have sulire Executive Mansion used for office purposes, the official residence to be somewhere without the present city limits; but this idea, while quite generally ap- proved of, never excited Congress to action. It may be, though, that the Congress which will come in power next December will take cognizance of a condition that is not at all creditable to the country and will provide a suitable residence for the Chief Magistrate far apart from the offices in which official business is daily transacted, Col. Wilson’s’ plan, as outlined in the re- port, which was printed in yesterday's Star, may meet with popular favor; Col. Wilson is at once practical and artistic. It will probably have to meet the objection that there will be irreparable architectural injury to the White House should the ad- ditional structure be incongruous. The argument that the White House has had the same exterfor appearance it now pos- sesses for nearly a hundred years and that therefore it should be continued without change is probably a weak one, but it will be made by many people and will have the ‘support of sentiment that will appeal to a large number of Americans. A clever architect might, however, succeed in mak- ing it plain to the public that the present structure could be added to in the manner Proposed without disastrous effect, from the esthetic standpoint. Sensible sugges- tions will always be in order and from these Congress ‘may select the one it deems best; something will have to be done in this matter in the ncar future. People who are fearful lest there be decision favorabf® t additions to the White House under the di- rection of those who control government architecture may even now rest assured that past experience will count for some thing; that the law will not allow an aspir- ing political draughtsman to attach a gilded gingerbread palace to the pleasing harmony of the classic mansion where the elected chief of this nation has his official residence. et + 6 = -_____ This is a great opening for the men who have been forced to hide their lights under bushels, The true hero of the hour is the man who is willing to come forward and express an uncompromising opinion for publication on the political situation. _— >___—_ Vox Populi will now proceed to give the newspaper editors a rest while he bends his intellest to the suggestion of new names for the Cleveland baby. > ¢2—___— The objections raised to muddy drinking water in this city should be a great encour- agement to the W.

Comparisons are invidious, and we do not like to hurt the feelings of any of our newspaper friends, great num- bers of whom undoubtedly believe that the cap would fit them. It is doubtful, however, whether, taking all things into consideration, there is a daily paper better made up than ‘the Washington Evening Star. The advertis- Ing columns of this paper are particularly attraetive, and they are attractive because they have been deliberately made so by the handtwork of an expert advertisement editor. In a few years, doubtless, we shall find that the good example of the Wash- ington Star has been followed by all im- portant daily papers throughout the coun- try, and then surely advertisements will pay that never pald before.
