People who look leniently or carelessly at
The efforts Of the enthusiastically combina-
ton, now preparing to make another ener-
getic attempt to cumber this city's streets
with unsishtly poles and dangerous and OBJ
Structive wires. should read carefully and
digest deliberately the interview with Mr.
John p. Barrett, published in yesterdays
star. Mr.. Barrett Is an expert of the dis
interested sort who serves Chicago as city
electrician, and whose attachments resulted
In his being given complete charge of all
electrical exhibits at the Worlds Columbian
Exposition. Better authority than he could
not easily be found. and Washingtonians
who have opposed and will continue to OPP
pose the overhead trolley must be gratified
ut his appreciation of their contention. With
out the least hesitancy Mr.. Barrett declares
that the greatest danger which now menaces
a city Is the overhead wire-a conclusion
reached after many years of the most prac-
teal sort Of experience. Mr.. Barrett came
to Washington to secure additional facts for
use In an argument he proposes to make
against the granting OF overhead-trolley
privileges in the business center of Chicago.
Most of the needed facts were secured dur
ing the course of an investigation made by
him into the workings of the underground
trolley system now being operated on u
street MIR. Barrett is satisfied that there is
no longer any electrical problem connected
with the successful use of electricity as
motive power through underground wires;
In fact. the underground wire is capable of
better work than the overhead article.
Declaring himself to be in every respect
satisfied with the U street road, Mr.. Barrett
returns to Chicago to advise the city council
TO deny construction privileges to any cor
poration that wants to move it's cars by the
unsightly and primitive method commonly
known as the trolley system.

Rarely does public sympathy respond
more rapidly to unwelcome information
than 1t did when the news Of Mr.. George w.
Child's illness reached this city. A bulletin
displayed in The Star office brought forth
countless expressions of genuine regret and
was responsible for the voicing of as many
hopes that recovery might be speedy. The
news of his improved condition today will
be welcomed by thousands who hope that
a life may long be spared which is full of
good deeds in wholesome journalism and
benefcent citizenship.

Press dispatches from Nebraska announce
An epidemic OF Ia grippe on Pine Ridge

mortality Is great. for the government

neglect in the case of these Indians at Pine
Ridge Altogether, there must be more
than seven thousand Indians resident on
that reservation. and unless there has been

All Of England's humorists are not en-
gagged on London's comic papers. Some are
hnanciers. The latest luminosity perpetrated
by these ocular gentlemen relates to the
nfty-million bond issue They want at least
one-third of the bonds, and argue that they
should have them because England has sup
ported American railroad securities and be-
cause many of those securities turned out
badly In other words, they argue that this
government should give them an oppor-
tunity TO recoup losses resultant upon the
bad judgment of certain British investors.
