To the Editor of The Evening Star:
Last evening about o'clock, when the
stream of travel from west to east along
Massachusetts avenue, the most convenient
thcroughfare for thousands of people re-
siding in the northeastern part of the city,
was more than ordinarily heavy, tie street
was blockaded for nearly ten minutes at
one time by the shifting back and forth of
what seemed to be dozen empty box cars
The railroad employees seemed utterly to
disregard the rights. comfort or conven-
fence Of the many who were compelled to
stand in the cold while what seemed to be
a bungling and useless shifting about of
empty cars was going on. Every day
causes for similar complaints are given at
this crossing. as we'll as at other grade
crossings on the Baltimore and Ohio road.
Day before yesterday the Columbia street
cars were delayed. according to the report
of persons who were present, for period
of fourteen minutes. / do not believe there
is another city in the United States where
such outrages upon the rights of the pub
lie would be tolerated as they are here. If
there is any law or police regulation on the
subject It seems to me the District Com
missioners should do something to enforce
it, PEDESTRIAN.

the opposing team is received at frequent
intervals. Mr. Archer is now in correspond

The Credit system,

james G. Cannon, yice-president of the
Fourth National Bank of New York dc.
liyered very able and interesting address
on individual Credits" before the Nation.
al Association of Credit Men at Kansas
City, Missouri, several weeks ago He
prefaced his remarks with: so much is
said now adays about the masses aud the
classes, that we are apt to lose sight of
She fact, that all masses and classes SO.
called, are composed Of individuals, rand
shat, as the individual prospers to that
extent are tho interests OF the common
wealth advanced. We should recognize
that oil reforms, whether along political,
social or commercial lines, spring from the
Individual and the flnality of all credit
rests with the individual consumer, the
pRe who makes use Of the necessaries and
luxurios of life."
He thinks the Americans are prone to
live beyond their means and go in debt
Tor things that could be done without,
considering the means of the persons pur.
chasing them. because they eau get credit.
The people should strive to live within
their means Cash should, in all cases,
wherever it can, be paid for goods when
purchased. Long credits and bad bills
made through the credit system has broken
up hundreds Of mechanics during the past
four years.
He deprecates bargain counters, saying
that the people are being educated up to
the idea to make their necessary purchases
only when bargains are offered, The goods
being sold on narrow margin and often
at loss, work a great hardship upon the
merchant who tries to create an artificial
trade for his goods. The public purchase
because they are cheap and not because
they stand in need of the bargains offered.
All credit should be kept down to the
worth of tie customer where credit is
given.
Our corner grocery store propristors
could give leaf out of their ledger, which
would show where their profits in the
business baye gone. But every man should
have u good credit with his fellow man
and the prompt payment of bills makes it
every time.
