The Aulc00fta CouapanyB fOAAt1oas
Alleged poverty Is no excuse for failure
to moderpizs the equipment of the Wash
inEtoa and Anacost!a Street Railway Com
parry. In consideration Of the grant OF
the use Of the streets transportation
corporation implicitly contracts to make
the expenditures necessary to. furnish the
public with transportation facilities, adapt
ed to the times and meeting public re-
quirements, and no such corporation can
hold tbs franchise. and. on the plea OF pow
erty, evade furnishing this consideration.
The populous suburb of Anacostia and
the section of Washington adjacent to
that suburb are as much entitled to rapid
transit and decent facilities of Transports
tion to the center Of the city as the Eek
ington, Brightwood or Ter allytown region.
If q man engaged in any business finds
his capital and public patronage INSULT
cient he abar dons 1t and attaches himself
to an occupa ton for which he Is equipped
and for which he and his means are ade-
Quats. In this case the company adj
varces Its alleged poverty as the best OF
reasons for continued existence under con-
diticns more favorable than any accorded
these other corporations which are locally
engaged In the same industry.
Il the Anacostia Company's theory Is
sound, then the community must be ex-
tremely careful as to Endorsements Of
strret-railway plans-many of which are be-
fore Congress-for If the holders of one
franchise are to be especially favored be-
cause Of alleged poverty 1t may become
customary to urge similar and profitable
hnar cial disability in behalf of other roads.
Bobtail cars might then be common enough
and there would probably be renewal Of
49, oy%,r
with the poles and wires OF overhead-troliey
cons truction- All this would be the logical
sequence of a legislative admission that
poverty stingiress or Encouragement
have rights superior to these granted wide
awake and well-equipped iberality. Wash
ipgton is weary Of the Anacostia cars which
row periodically disfgure some of this citys
most prominent thoroughfares, but it will
never consent to any movement which plans
to substitute therefor the pernicious over
head-trolley construction.
The lexington Companys trolley cars
ran through a no. overcrowded region. but
the poles and wires had to come down be-
cause the law and public sentiment were
opposed to such distractions, in behalf of
which nothing more substantial than
cheapness could DC urgedh The same law
and the same sentiment still exist; some
thing TO be borne in mind by the Anacostia
Company should it ever be tempted to
imagine that its plea of poverty might
possibly gain fer it overhead-trolley priv
ieses that have very properly been denied
others who did their best to secure them.
The Anacostia Company is most unpopular
now-its equipment is eyesore to every
latterday man and woman-but the I'M
popularity of the present is as nothing to
the unpopulerity which would be Instantly
consequent upon any expressed desire on
the part of the company to dishgure. as
an exception to the law. any one of the
city's streets with enthusiastically con-
struction.

From the New York Commercial Advertiser.
Several New York authors were discuss
ing the ideal place for literary center not
long ago, and one Of them expressed the
opinion that 1t was neither Boston nor
New York. There are several reasons
that make Washington the place." he said.
1.-The chief of these is that Washington Is
beautiful city, the only really beautiful
city that we have, and the center Of litera-
ture ought to possess artistic surroundings.
Then. the interests Of the whole country
are. in a sense, gathered together in Wash
ington. The society there Is made up Of
people from all over the United States and
from all over the world. 1t isn't by any
means an ideal society, but its very con-
giomerateness makes It picturesque and
interesting to writer's vino devote them
selves to studying and depicting human
nature. Moreover, in It's purely political
aspects 1t is wonderfully attractive. No
one has as yet treated these with con-
spicuous success In q novel"

SCRAMBLED TO COVER
CHICAGO WHEAT BEARS FIND
THEMSELVES IN CLOSE QUARTERS.
Leading Cereai Made Gain for<De-
cemher of 3-4c-Corn and Oats
Heavy. bat Pork Advanced.

CHICAGO, Sept. 21.-The unexpected
strength at Minneapolis to-day set wheat
SPECTATORS to scrambling for cover to such
an extent that December closed at an adj
vance of &c after selling that much below
Saturdays close. Corn was heavy and
closed Bc lower. Oats closed unchanged
and provisions 212a712c higher.
The foreign advices received this morn
ing were of nature to cause uneasiness
to the bulls in the wheat market and the
consequence was that many of them who
had long wheat made haste to dispose of it.
The weakness also encouraged some SELL
ing short, the result of which was a de-
cline in the first hour and a half of the
session of &c below the closing quotation
of Saturday. Cables came lower both from
Liverpool and on the continent. the former
opening 12d off and later lost another I'D.
The amount on ocean passage showed in
crease of $685. 900 bu during the last week
and the worlds shipments were unofficially
reported from New York at S,2S0,00 blu.
In addition to this New York wired that
foreigners were large sellers there and that
many buying orders had been Cancelled.
The opening price for December was Gle
against 612sc, Saturdays closing figure,
and by II o'clock 601aQ607sc was quoted.
The decline, however, met with a stubborn
resistance and Notwithstanding the weak
ness of closing cables end selling in New
York by foreigners, the market hardened
under the steady acceptance of all offer
ings. Minneapolis and Duluth received 1,10S
EARS against 1,502 cars on the Monday pre-
ceding and ,655 cars the corresponding
day of last year. Atlantic port exports
amounted in wheat and flour to 256O00 Blu.
Both of these items were rather encourage
ing to the bulls and during the last hour
the market got quite strong and an ad-
vance of about 112c over the low price re-
suited Minneapolis reported an advance
of nearly &c and, on unusually sharp cash
demand, December finally sold to 62Ac and
closed firm at 621sN62l4c.
Corn was quiet and weak Prospective
heavy receipts and heavy country
selling combined to neutralize any effect
the late strength of wheat may have had.
The increase in visible was also a factor.
May opened 1sc lower at 24$4c, declined to
243s02412c and closed easy at the opening
price.
Oats were weaker and lower early, but
rallied and closed with all the decline re-
covered The early depression was in
sympathy with wheat and corn and on
selling by local traders. A better demand
sprung up later and, aided by the advance
lower at 19c, declined shade and rallied TO
1910 where 1T closed
Provisions were firm and ruled higher.
Opening prices were slightly higher as re-
suit of a better hog market. Packers were
liberal buyers and a further slight advance

that il 1t had been going at rate within the

WHIT THE BOARD ATE.
Enormous Bill for Meals for Members
of State Board of Agriculture.

Secretary Kennedy asked yesterday about
some rumors which placed the members of the
State Board of Agriculture in an unpleasant
light. One that there were charged
to the expense account of the board no less than
no meals day during the fair. These were
served by the ladies of church 60 cents a
meal. Secretary Kennedy said the number of
meals would not exceed seventy day, though
he did not know yet, the ladies had pre-
sented their bill. He said the meals were for
members of the board, their friends and judges
of exhibits. Last year the meals served at
so cents each. but then the public in general was
served at the same tables and it occa stoned
some little Inconvenience to members of the
board at times. This year tables were reserved
for them at the extra expense.
There were several little apparent Irregularities
which were explained by Mr.. Kennedy. Regard
ing the charge that beer had been sold on the
grounds Mr.. Kennedy said he knew nothing
about it. No right for the sale of beer had been
granted.
