stricken men and women who not only
cross the centennial Iines but frequently go
far beyond 1t. 1t is therefore, apparently,
the argument that poverty and its accom-
ps-niment of the simplest and cheapest
ferns of food are more healthful IN their
Influences than all the comforts that money
can buy. There Is a great deal Of truth in
that deduction, but in it no note is taken Of
a much more important factor in the
human existence of today-the relative
wear and tear Of mere physical toll and
strenuous mental endeavor joined with a
large percentage of muscular endeavor.
1t Is self-evident that those persons who
seek shelter in charitable institutions are
to be classed with the unsuccessful, and as
lack Of success in life Is most frequently
the result Of lack CT energy 1t appears that
frugality of toll. and especially Of mental
labor accompanied by anxiety, and an I'M
ambitious nature are really essential TO
remarkable longevity. The man who does
his share of mental ana physical work
which is larger than it would be were all
alike industrious-cannot expect to go far,
if any, beyond the scriptural limit.

agement when they reported adversely on
the bill authorizing extensions of the Eek
ington tracks but the chances are that no
one was astonished. That the joint connpa-
MES are anxious to secure additional rights
is certain but not even the most enthusi-
astic of their supporters can argue for a
moment that they deserve any of the favors
for which they plead so persstently. With
in few days the United States district
attorney has called the attention of the
authorities to the fact that tracks laid by
the lexington company long ago have
never been used, although the company 8
contract with the public guaranteed their
use within the limits of reasonable period
now some time expired. The popular and
proper course for the Eckington-Belt man.
agement to pursue has often been pointed
out by The Star-it should operate the
privileges it has in such manner as to
convince its patrons, who would then be its
friends, that it was deserving of additional
grants such as It is now petitioning for. If
the Eckington-Belt lines were run with any
regard for the fact that the twentieth CEN
fury IS almost here there would not be any
objection to Congress presenting the cor
poration with all the rights of way it could
reasonably hope for. To establish public
confidence the management should give
some tangible proof of its desire to modern
lie its car-motors

Railroad Reform Comes slowly.

It seems to be understood that the Bal
timore and Ohio Railway Company has at
last consented to some of the propositions
which have been made to it as to the
abolition of grade crossings by track eleva-
tion- Fer several years the people of
Washington have done about all that was
in their power to remove the embarrassing
menace from the city streets but, so far,
without success. Promise of success has
been many times apparent-sgain and
again have those who represented both
the Baltimore and Ohio and Pennsylvania
Companies minated that a satisfactory
solution of the problem was at hand
hut disappointment succeeded disappoint-
ment until the stocks of hope and patience
were well-nigh exhausted. Today the sit
uation seems to be an improvement on any
of its predecessors, for instead of ignoring
the popular wishes and the humane and
businesslike demands of tine community the
two corporations have undoubtedly con-
sidered plans and discussed ways and
means; a decided stride in advance. Out
OF deliberate consultation have come the
companies ideas as to what should be
done, and those ideas will soon be COM
pletely expressed in bills. We already
know, approximately, what the Pennsylva-
MA Company expects the community to
do. as it's share of the betterments so long
and so persistently sought by the people,
and within a day or two the proposition
advanced by the Baltimore and Ohio man.
agement will be submitted. To some ex-
tent the plans will, of course, be modified
the companies will naturally ask for more
thu n they expect, so that there may be
leeway for compromises-but, in the MAN,
the principal features of the bills will be
undisturbed. Senator Mcmillan has taken
this matter in hand. Always earnest he
is especially on this important topic
If he shall succeed in bringing about the
reform for which the people of Washing
ton have SO long petitioned he will deserve
great credit.

Library-Developed massachusetts.
From the Philadelphia Telegraph.

From the Philadelphia Telegraph.
A report concerning the free public
libraries of Massachusetts contains some
statistics which are very encouraging to
those who would still like to believe in
the virtue and worth of the democratic
system. Democracy does not exist any
where in this country in a truer form than
in the local communities of New England,
and although we in this section are in
clined to the belief that the people in the
towns and townships are too much given
to a consideration of their pockets to vote
to tax themselves for the purpose of con-
Structing good roads, founding libraries
and so en-, this seems not to be the ex-
perience in Massachusetts,. There the de-
velopment Of the people has progressed to
such a point that there are enough persons
in almost every community who under
stand the need of these things to be willing
requires, in the first place, a certain public
intelligence before men can perceive the
worth of such policy. Some men are IN
able to understand that free libraries or
good roads will really bring any benefit to
the community. They are so dull of in
tellect that they cannot see the value of
such things In the second place, men
must have what is generally called public
spirit before these ideas can be realized.
A man may be sufficiently intelligent to
appreciate the benefits which may accrue
to the community by more far-sighted
policy. but he may still be unwilling to do
anything at all to bring such results about.
He may be excessively fndividualistic-so
ignorantly SO that he will prefer to live
along on the old system rather than suffer
a slight increase in the tax-rate. This mas
been the experience in some parts of this
country, and II New England is able to do
better 1t certainly Is something in which
we should all feel q great deal of gratiIica-
ticn. Massachusetts is surely to be
congratulated land 1t Is to be hoped that
the other states will soon put themselves
on the same basis, to the end that we may
Come to show higher average rate Of
public intelligence. not only in New Eng
land, but throughout the entire country.

1t Will He n Fireproof Roof.

1t Is one of the immediate probabilities
that the Supervising Architect of the
Treasury will at once direct that further
construction of the highly inflammable roof
now being placed on the city post-office
building be at least held in allegiance, even
If he does not instantly proceed to bring
about the removal of the lumber and slate
already in place. Either of these things
is quite likely to occur, for today the Sen
ate passed joint resolution calling upon
the Secretary of the Treasury to direct
the removal of the fire-enticing material
from the roof of the structure in question
and insisting that the building shall be
completed in accordance with the law au-
thorizing it's erection; law which calls
for fire-proof building.
The joint resolution has doubtless by
this time been conveyed to the House Of
Representatives, and as there is no good
reason why that body should differ from
the Senate in this matter the odds are all
favorable to the resolution becoming a
law. The necessity for congressional in
PREVENTION could have been avoided en-
tire!y had the Supervising Architect been
mindful either of his professional reputa-
tion or of the law which should have gov
erned him, but which he seems to have
ignored until its existence is specifically
pointed out to him by the Senate.
The Star has several times directed that
officials attention to the construction which
has been generally condemned. Archi-
tects. inspectors Of buildings, the chief of
tine fire department and other people who
may reasonably lay claim to the posses
sion of expert knowledge in such an affair
have not hesitated to put themselves on
record adversely to the finder roof, and
their comments have been voiced by The
Star.
Tlat the character of the roof will be
changed for the better now seems to be
certain. and for such an amendment the
architectural and building professions-to
say nothing of the fire department--will be
grateful. But it is most extraordinary
thing that Congress should have to lay
aside business of national Importance to
point the Supervising Architect of the
Treasury to the path along which he should
have gone without suggestion or direction
from anybody.

Three or four days ago there died at the
MsddletoWn (N.Y0 Almshcuse a man who
had VI doubleday reached the advanced age
OF 1o6 years. That event called to mind
several recently-made announcements as to
the whereabouts and the physical and men,
tai conditions of a number of individuals
who have crossed the century line. The
notable fact is the location Of all of those
individuals in institutions supported by the
public: proof that longevity is almost in

When the District appropriation bill gets
over to the Senate 1t could be. popularity
and equitably amended by the addition Of
a paragraph which would result in a suff1-

fund. AS things now are, the pensioners
are such only in name, although they de-
serve the most liberal sort of treatment.
The disabled men have served the city with
marked fidelity and are fit subjects for the
material assistance promised faithful but
disabled officers. The women and children
who should be beneficiaries of the fund
have claims not to be disputed by the
humane.
