HE BEAT HIS WAY EAST.
How Green Bay Man Managed to Travel
and Not Spend His Money.

There is one man in Maine now who
can say that he tramped it from the west,
and beat the railroads while having plen-
ty OF money in his pockets. He is now
in Bath, or at least has had ample time
to reach that city, and according to his
story, he beat the railroads from Green
Bay, Wis, to Lewiston Junction
He said he was in Green Bay, and had a
strong desire to see the east He had
money, but thinking it over and watch
ing the tramps closely, he concluded that
he could beat his way with money in his
pockets if a tramp without money could
do it.
He left Green Bay on freight train
and to the end of his journey, probably
and to Lewiston junction certainly he
chung to freight trains. He stopped once
or twice for short time and worked
hard, making good pay. He had more
money with him when he reached Lew
iston junction than he had when he left
Green Bay. He paid for everything ex-
cept transportation and was proud of the
fact that he beat the railroads He will
stay in Maine for awhile, and then beat
his way back west, at least this is under
stood to be the programme,

At different periods in history since men
first became imbued with the idea that hu.
man beings were possessed of souls, vari-
GUS ideas have been advanced us to the ex-
act spot which that intangible something
claims as its seat. Within the past thou
sand years reputed authorities on psychol.
ogy have located it in widely separated Sec
lions of the brain, as well as in several
other organs of the body, such as the heart
liver, spleen and spinal cord. Five or sir
years ago, in 1889, believe, DR.. A. II
Stevens of San Francisco gave the world
his views on the subject, declaring that he
believed it to be situated in that portion Of
the brain known to the anatomists as the
corpus callosum.
More than 1900 years before the west
coast speculative philosopher above men.
toned startled the world with his an
nouncement of the discovery of the soups
seat, it was believed in Greece Rome and
Egypt that it was located in the pineal
gland of the brain. This gland is a little sac
containing calcareoas grit, and for which
Ahe psychologists have not discovered any
particular use. The discussion Of the subject
IS an interesting one, but it is plain that it
is a matter wholly within the unknowable
and understandable. Louis RepubIio

The Brooklyn trolley cars on Tuesday
night killed their one hundred and fourth
victim. The overhead system of, electric
propulsion was inaugurated in Brooklyn
in the latter part of 1892 and has now
been in operation about thirty months
which makes an average Of about three
and one-half deaths a month. The strong
est plea in excuse offered by the friends of
the trolley has been that a great majority
of the victims in Brooklyn are children.
whose reckless use of the streets as a
playground makes 1t impossible for the
motormen, even with the greatest care, to
avoid running them down. A full list of
all the victims of the overhead trolley In
Brooklyn has just been printed In New
York paper and completely refutes the
contention that the cars have caused fatal
accidents mainly on account of the youth
of the victims. Forty-eight of those that
have been killed since the Inauguration of
the overhead system in Brooklyn were
under fifteen years of age. while fifty-six,
or more than a majority Of the total num-
Der, were over fifteen. AS a matter Of fact,
the age of fifteen should not be taken as
the limit at which child cannot take care
of itself in the streets. 1t is no excuse for
any fatal accident to a child over ten years.
Such cases must be attributed directly to
the negligence of motormen or the unman-
ageability of the car, except in very rare
cases. The deadly trolley must find a bet
ter argument than that based on the age
of its victims If 1t hopes to convince the
public that it is blessing instead of a
menace

The proposal which seems to be seriously

menace the health of the District. but
would destroy the most beautiful feature
|of the great Rock Creek Park. From the
|Kensington standpoint, the conclusion
Knight be reached that as long as the sew

carried into waters away from the Ken

creek after leaving that town passes

the public. The stream then enters the
city and traverses a section which in part
has been closely built up and Is destined in
the future to contain a still denser popula-

'nized the menace to public health which
hlready exists in using the lower portion of
Rock creek as sewer. and provision Is
made in the proposed new sewer system to

and politics- This process uniformly pro-
ceeds to the point when possession can be
secured by a bold stroke Of diplomacy or
force. That such a stroke Is a part Of the
British plan as regards Hawaii cannot be
doubted for a moment by those who have
followed at all closely the colonial history
Of Great Britain and the more recent
events in the Islands. The British foreign
policy has at least one admirable feature;
1t Is unfiinchingly consistent so far as re-
lates to the Strengthening of the chain Of
British posts that even now extend with
such frequency and regularity around the
world that 1t has been truly said that the
sun never sets on the Union Jack. Such a
policy is not desired by the people on the
part of the United States which has no
aspirations to a worldwide dominion, but
had even a small fraction of the persist
ence of England been shown by America in
the Hawaiian question in which it is prop
erly and deeply interested the situation

There is clearly misunderstanding Of
sAe situation in the Green shooting case.
When one who Is intrusted by the public
with the duty Of examining the matter sat-
isles himself that Green did not intend to
kill Foster. he Is not on that account at
liberty to acquit the policeman of all re-
|sponsibillty for the homicide. Very few.
indeed. think that this killing was muir
der. The large majority will probably be-
lieve that Green had no desire or expecta-
ton OF killing tn, fleeing negro when he
fired his revolver. But giving the officer
the benefit of all the doubts. the fact re-
mains that he discharged his revolver In
violation of the police regulations and OF
the law, and that through recklessness and
gross negligence in the manner of firing he
put an end to the life of a human being.
Both the police regulations and the law
hold the officer in such a case to certain
measure of responsibility, from which the
fact that he did not intend to kill does
mot relieve him. In view of the dangerous
|cond. lions which surround him in the per-
|formance Of certain of his duties the lot
|of the District policemen Is not exactly
HAPPY one. II a desperate character like
Foster had been killed while approaching
