our readers better and larger paper; that In
all respects ii would be worthy of the great
city in which it is published. Wethink we
can fairly claim that this promise has been
kept, but the limit has not yet been reached.
When THE TIMES is printed on its own
press, when our illustrating plant. which is
now being installed, is in running order, and
it will be in few days, THE TIMES will be in
a position TO publish a paper than which
there will be few better or more attractive.
1t will continue in the future, as in the past,
to represent the cause of the people; to fight
for the interests of the masses rather than
those of the classes; to champion the oppressed
and the weak and to attack corporate greed
and monopoly wherever found.
The growth of THE TIMES has been phe-
nomenal. 1t is now on a secure foundation.
and it is here to stay. To those persons who
have so Loyalty supported it from the first,
who have worked for it and in its interest,
we tender our sincere appreciation of their
substantial well wishes; to the merchants of
Washington. who have so generously used its
columns. we can only say that we trust the re-
suits will be as satisfactory and gratifying as
we are assured they have heretofore been.

A plea for Old PAYERS.

EDITOR TINES: PAYERS wages paid by the
District government up to the first OF the pres
ent ear was 1926 per day. Since then the
pay has been cut down TO IS per day. This
was all well enough, and if PAYERS could get
work at this price they would be satisfied.
But system has been established which
proves ruin to the PAYERS. and Will send them
TO the poorhouse or tramping as vagrants
over the country. superintendent have put
laborers to work along side Of experienced
PAYERS, and after they had learned to pave.
the old PAYERS have been discharged and
these others retained at labOrers' wages.
This is done without any authority from the
Commissioners.
| know not why it is they have done this,
only to gain honor for economy and to save
money for the Government.
Now. these men should have intelligence
enough 10 know that the money belongs to
the people, and when they are saving money
in this way they are robbing one class and
giving to another.
There is another thing that operates against
PAYERS. All street work is done by order OF
the Commissioners. Formerly, if 81 property
holder took outa permit for pavement he
could get any paver he pleased to do it, the
District furnishing the materials and he pay
ing for the labor But now, in permit work,
the District furnish materials and do the
work and charge half the expense to the
property holder, who Is often assessed Tor
more than its value.
Thus it is impossible for man not en-
ployed by the District to get work, and many
are now walking about suffering for the ne
cessaries OF life.
Reform in this matter would be to the in
terest of capitalists as well as labor.

pubs it a Spurious Organization.

DuDS II Il ORGANIZATION.
EDITOR TINES: On several occasions recently
1 have noticed in the different papers notices
OF meetings held by the Soldiers and Sailors
and Sons otYeterans' Protective Association,
but have never seen any names of the members
of the organization. Judging by the tone
of the article that appears in your issue Of
to-day it seems to me that it is a political or
semi-political, anonymous crowd OF dis
gruntled. discharged government clerks,
and, as son ola victorian, hereby demand
ofthem to know by what right and authority
they use our name TO further their ends. II
is strictly, positively and most emphatically
against the rules. law, and constitution of
the order of Sons of Veterans to even discuss
religion or politics, especially the latter.
We. 5. of v, know nothing OF, and care
nothing for the different Union soldier organ
izations for whom the Grand Army of the Re
public is not good enough TO be member of.
| To be eligible to membership in the order of
which l am proud to belong. one must be a
male descendant OF deceased or honorably
discharged soldiers. sailors or marines who
served in the Union Army or Navy during the
civil war of IS6l-'65.'
The main object of the order OF Sons of
Veterans article III, Sec. p, reads: TO
aid the members of the Grand Army Of the
Republic in the caring for their helpless and
/ disabled veterans; to extend aid and protec-
tion TO their widows and orphans; to per-
petuate the memory and history of their he
roic dead, and the proper observance OF Me-
mortal Day"
Again: (Artice XIII: Religion and Poll
/ tics) The order being strictly non-secta-
rian and non-politieal, the introduction or
discussion OF sectarian or political topics
within the camp is strictly prohibited, under
penalty of a fine, suspension or expulsion
from the order"
That, 1 feel sure, will convince you that
the men who are using our name are guilty
OF a gross piece Of imDertineDce. as we have
too much common sense to take part in what
is liable TO lead to our expulsion from the

THE PEOPLES FORUM.
The Dockery Commission.

AhV DokhCIy AOIuniSSlOhs
EDITOR TIMES: Your Stimely'' and forcible
editorial recommending that Congress, at the
coming session, shall terminate the existence
of the "Dockery Commission" commends it
self for good sense and sound judgment.
In addition to the cogent reasons suggested
in your editorial, it will be measure of econ
omy to relieve the burdened and depleted
treasury of the cost of hiring railroad experts
for the use of this commission at fancy prices,
besides the expense of clerk hire and incl
dental expenditures.
Two OF the experts employed by this COM
mission have been draying pay for consider
ably more than a year at the rates of $4,000
and $4,000 per annum respectively, and the
current and undenied report has been that
the principal expert was to bs paid at the rate
| OF 600 per annum, provided the scheme
for recognizing, or rather Gripping, the
Treasury Department went through Congress
successfully
| These figures look as little like economy as
do the handsome increase in the annual sal
| aries OF a goodly number of principal officials
| comptroller, assistant comptroller, six audi
tors, chief clerk, law clerks, etc. provided in
the "Dockery law," which is now in force.
AS so well suggested in your editorial,
| Congress is abundantly able to institute re-
| forms in the business methods of the execu-
| tive departments upon recommendations
| coming from the heads thereof, without the
costly aid of so-called railroad experts.
In view Of recent developments IN the At
Gibson, Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad sys-
TEN. showing grave irregularities in book
! keeping and shortages of millions OF dollars
owing to figure Juggling in the matter of re-
bates to freight shippers and the more
recent indictments found at Santa Fe against
several officials of said railroad system on
! account of these irregularities and shortages
in receipts, ones confidence is not inspired
in the unerring wisdom and correctness of
railroad experts, especially those who were
connected with said system, as were some Of
the experts of the Dockery commission.

cAPRTYrs DESIGNATION.

Is Caprivi's resignation ascribable to the
logical results of divergent policies upon i'm
portant internal questions or is 1t due to an
other nervous freak Of Germany's remarkable
ruler?
That is the question which not only Ger
many, but all Europe asks to-day, and no sat
isfactory answer has so far been found. 1t is
quite true that Europe, outside of Germany,
has no more than a speculative interest in the
matter, for the passing of Caprivi and the ad-
vent of some other man, no matter who-ex-
cept, of course, it be Bismarck-and he is out
of the question-will not affect Germany's
foreign policy, but simply her internal affairs.
The chief consideration is whether or not
the ministerial change must be taken as an
indication of reactionary tendencies in the
Emperor's mind. Win William ii turn back
the hands OF time and seek to stem the ad-
vanclng tide Of the popular will-expressed.
erratically perhaps, through the Socialist
agitation-by repressive measures which will
merely embitter the people and swell the
ranks Of the Socialists? 1t would be strange
spectacle We're he TO do so. He would pro-
E4GAl4 " A4ib W lA4LlL Ie7L
10 the policy of the man who gave him en-
pire, and who owed his downfall in no small
degree TO the persistent, impulsive, unyieli-
ing advocacy OF an internal policy which at
that time ran counter TO the views OF the
young monarch.
Should Emperor William determine upon a
policy Of repression so far rs the Socialists are
concerned, he would raise storm about his
ears which he might not find it easy to lay.
The Germany OF to-day is not the Germany Of
Bismarck's days, nor will even the conserva-
tive Germans brook from their young "war
lord" what they submitted 10 VIXEN it was
forced upon them by the man who made the
Fatherland power among the nations OF the
earth. There is a vast difference in the con-
ditions now and then.
It is not at all probable that reasoning of
this sort would find lodging place in EN-
peror Williams thoughts. for he is an oracle
unto himself and takes advice from his inner
consciousness only. But because of this fact
the assertion is warranted that troublous
times are in store for the Emperor and for the
whole Of Germany if be insists upon inau-
gurating policy which aims at the sup
preston, by main iOrce, OF whole political
party and its doctrines.
Whether this man or that be called to fill
Caprivi's place matters very little William
II is not easily impressed by external infu-
ences. He is a law unto himself. 1t makes
practically no difference. therefore. whether
Prince HohenIohe or Count Waldersee ac-
cepts the portfolio of chancellor. Whoever
does accept it win have TO follow the En-
perors personal policy, or, like Caprivi, make
way for some one willing to do so.

"TBE TIMES" THANKS ITS FRIENDS.

In another column will be found a letter
from the Potter Printing Press Company, Of
New York, the leading press builders Of this
country. The Potter Company are building

their letter states, viii embody the latest i'm
provements in press building and will make a
decided advance in newspaper printing in
this city.
We believe that the manufacturers are justi-
fed in making this claim. In general way
it may be stated that the press is similar to the
four recently put in by our esteemed neigh
Dor, the Star, which is guarantee of their
excellence, but TIE TINES press being later

THE VOICES.

Down in the night hear them,
The voices-unknOWn, unguessed-
That whisper, and lisp and murmur,
And viii not let me rest.
Voices that seem to question
In unknown words, of me,
Of fabulous ventures, and hopes and dreams,
OF this and the world 10 be.
Voices of mirth and music,
As in sumptuous homes; and sounds
Ofmourning, as OF gathering friends
In country burial grounds.
Cadence Of maiden voices
Their lovers blent with these;
And of little children singing,
AS under orchard trees
And often, up from the chaos
OF my deepest dreams hear
Sounds of their phantom laughter
Filling the atmosphere.
But ever and ever the meaning
Falters and falls and dies,
And only the silence quavers
With the sorrow Of my sigh6-
And answer, o voices, ye may not
Make me understand
TIL my voice, mingling with you,
Laughs in Shadowland.

Stands by the Cure.

EDITOR TIMES: 1 wish to inform your read

for smallpox published in your paper Friday,
signed A. B. c., is, to my certains knowledge.
all that the writer claims for it. Several
years ago, I, myself, was cured speedily Of
this loathsome disease by the use of this
simple remedy.
Since that time have seen this remedy ad-
ministered to many smallpox patients and
have never known it to fail of efTecting per-
feet cure in a remarkably short space of
time.
will add that it is also sure preventive
of this disease. My wife attended me during

this remedy each day she avoided contracting
the disease.

those who may not have seen the article re-
ferred to.
Sulphate of zinc. one grain; powdered digi-
tails, one grain; half teaspoonful of sugar;

A Plea for Sunday Museum Opening.
EDITOR TIMES: Why can not the public
buildings of interest, viz: the Capitol, Ma
tional Museum, and Monument be opened on
Sundays?
AS all these buildings close daily at
o'clock the workmen, who labor until that
time, have no chance to view them. A we'll
known statistican once remarked that ''he
verify believed that not one-half of our work
men had seen the wonders of their own city
Visitors from Baltimore and the suburbs who
can only find time to take a quick spin here
on Sundays must also content themselves by
simply gazing open mouthed at the exterior
of these buildings.
The Corcoran Art Gallery could also be In
cluded in the list, for what is more beneficial
to the education than gazing upon true art?
Although there may be objection at first by
few. the majority will readily see the neces-
sity for opening the buildings on Sunday for
the purpose for which they are intended. i.e.,
education. Gus. A. SoHULDr.
