Ear,v Bathing at the Beach.

Editor Times: In reply to W. Ii. jenkins
letter in The Times of yesterday evening,
with the above heading: About three years
ago Il similar letter was published, asking
for early opening of the beach, and we
opened II at 5 a. M, in response, but the
early patrons did not then average nalf
dozen.
1t should he understood that from 10 a.
IN. TO the closing hour, 8 p. m, the four at
tendants are kept absolutely busy in hot
days. The bathers. entered on our cooks
now average over 500 a day. 1t takes two
hours every morning for the two boys to
clean the houses of papers, lunch trash, ETC.,
and the beach from the sticks and weeds
which every high tide brings in: and, then,
the suits and towels must be washed and
dried.
However. ftwenty persons make applica-
ton to me for an early opening Will sup
pose that many more want it. and will
recommend to the Commissioners an addi-
tional expenditure to pay the employees for
long days of thirteen hours each, to open at
am, call out at g for half hour. and
call out finally at 7:30 and close at 8 p- N.

BRILLIANT SCHEME TO MAINTAIN A
PARITY
AN ARGUMENT THAT coI1Nrs

AN ARGUMENT THAT COUNTS.
Editor Times: In all of the letters on
the money problem the fundamental fact
seems TO Eave been overlooked. l mean
cost or production. In a book entitled THE
History and Theory of Money by Sher-
wood, pages 81 and 30, find the folio W.
ing:
''Mr. Robarts-Austin, chemist and assayer
to the Royal mint. estimates that the aver
age cost of producing an ounce OF gold is
ABOUT fifty-one times the average cost of
producing an ounce of silver. while Mr..
Marble. president of the National Bank OF
California, estimates the cost ratio to be in
the United States 1913; in Mexico. 50, in
Central and South America 60. Other
writers have reckoned that in California
and Colorado an ounce OF silver can be
produced for about one-eightieth of an
ounce of eold.''
Under these circumstances II doesn' seem
plausible that any sane man tnot Interested
in silver miningi can cast his vote for free
silver at 16 TO l. As every citizen is a
part of the government. he would neces-
sariiy have to bear his share OF the loss il
free silver were to carry the day.

FREE SILVER.

A man is sitting in Lafayette Square
Thinking, "Silyer, free silver, free silver"
Near by him is wealth, and he wants
share,
For his pockets are empty from lack OF
chink.
He has nothing to do but sit there and
think,
"what a help would be silver, free silver"
A department man. who is paid in gold.
And that gold bearing bonds should not be
sold:
For he thinks that Bryan Will surely
win,
And wants to he solid with the side that
comes in,
So he talks ''silver, free silver"
The Western man with a mortgaged farm
Is also for silver, free silver;
In scaling his debt he can see no HARM
The Pop wants a change, no matter
how;
He wants salvation, and wants itnow,
BY having more silver, free silver.
Then there are a few with white metal to
SELL
Who wish TO coin silver. free silver.
1ut others can see through the plan very
well,
And take no stock in that kind of
finance.
So they let this crowd so on with the
dance
For silver. free silver, free silver.

u GROUP OF noted Democrats were

OF Wiiiard's Hotel last evening,
when the name of Hon. Joseph Blackburn,
of Kentucky, was mentioned
"Have you heard the latest about Joey'

A CHANCE FOR THE GIRLS.

While the subject of manual training
local authorities it might not be amiss II
hey were 10 turn their attention also to the
fact that similar schools are quite as neces-
sary for the girls. 1t is essential that they,
too, stolld have practical training; that
the hand as well as the head should become
qualified TO al in the battle otllfe In the
July number of the Contemporary Marion
MuihalI gives a sketch of Girls Technical
Schools on the Continent" Il number of
which she has visited. Her testimony on
the subject is exceedingly valuable.
Amsterdam has a handwork school
handar beitschule-where the girls are
taught drawing, leather work, wood carv-
ing, dressmaking, millinery .iacemaking, and
manufacture of artificial fiowers-quite a
respectable array of money-making pro
fessions In this. as in everything else
that they do, the Dutch are very thorough.
and three years. course liz required for
each of these branches. In Brussels there
is a school where girls are instructed in all
the details of housekeeping and domestic
economics, and at different POINTS on the
continenture similar schools, many of which
also teach dairy work. poultry and bee keep
ing.
Any one can see how great an advantage
such schools give to girl that gets her
training there. They not only enable her to
make a living for herself, but qualify her
for keeping her house in firsi-c,ass tondl-
ton when she marres. They are Just the
schools our American girls need, for their
hands are neglected, while their heads are
oyercrowded with much that is OF
no practical value. Whether rich or poor,
every young woman should know how to
manage house. even though her ambition

GATES AND wArcHMEN.

SAFETY GATES AND WATCHMEN.
.Itis.tc be hoped fhst the Commissioners
will not falter in their purpose to compel
all railroad companies operating in the Dis
tricttoput safety gates and watchmcn atan
grade crossings. Until the latter are en-
tirely abolished and trains Cross the streets
either above or below grade something
our people may hope to enjoy with the ad-
vent of the twentieth century--such protec-
tion should be afforded them. 1t appears
that they have full authority to compeltbese
appliances to be provided, and the only mar
veIis that they have not long since enforced
this police eregulation. While they are about
it, however, they should also insist upon safe
guards in the shape of watchmen being
placed at those points where the tracks
OF rapid transit street railways cross each
other. The danger OF collision with vehicles
is equally great here, and there is the addi-
tional peril of the cars ON these roads running
one into the other.
WatchmeD are now stationed at the inter-
nection of Seventh street and Pennsylvania
avenue and Seventh and 4 streets, pre-
sumably because the Capital Traction and
Columbia companies consider those places
danger points watchmen are also stationed
at the Peace Monument, and at the inter-
section of New York avenue, Fifteenth street
and Pennsylvania avenue. Theinterscctions
at Ninth street and Pennysylvania avenue
Ninth and F streets, and Seventh and B
streets. however, are unguaried, though
these points are equally as dangerous as
those before mentioned. II the presence of
a watchmaD at any OF the former points is
regarded as necessary by the respective
companies, no good reason appears why it
should not also be required at the three last
named places. The question of cost TO the
companies cannot be permitted TO enter
into consideration, for it is tut trifiing at
the very best. and against it is set the
safety OF the public.
1t is this that demands all necessary safe
guards to be placed at points where steam
railways cross streets at grade, and no
less where rapid transit street railways
cross each other. So far no valid ohjec-
tioDs have been raised against the re-
quiremeDt, which is clearly in the interest
of the people.

WOULD THERE BE MORE WORK?

WOULD THERE BE MORE WORK?
EDITOR Times.iIif reply tu your call for
opinions Oh the money question, submit
the following:
NO. l; The wage-earner would be BEN
efitted by free silver coinage, because
there would be more work. More work
means better pay.
The price Of farm products would lie
higher, measured In silver. The farmer
would have more surplus after paying in-
terest and taxes. He would spenu this
surplus, and times would improve for every.
body.
No. 2. The United States could not
raise silver TO u parity with gold at the
proposed ratio, nor would it be desira-
bic. IL free silver did not lessen the
value OF the dollar, 1t would not initiate
prices, and would bring the country no
relief.
No.. 3. By debased money, presume you
mean Il cheaper standard. The effect
would be bad for the creditor and good for
the debtor. The debtors, being much
larger cinss, and one to which society and
the nation owe everything, and not having
been considered when silver was deinone
tized, are. now justified in restoring the
standard 10 its former value. The rcsto-
ration to silver of the legal tender quality
will be the first battle i'll the fight be-
.rcen the debtor and the creditor, the
producer and the non-prodncer, and the
fight will not cease until starvation and
poverty are unknown in u land of plenty.
