There Are Few Headaches in wasl


To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
Why is it that the Washington Traction
and Electric Company still insists on col
lecting three fares from the heart of the
city to Glen Echo and Cabin John bridge
1t is understood by the readers of The
Evening Star that the Metropolitan and
Great Falls electric roads belong to the
same company. We think we are entitled
by law to ride transfer to the District
line if the roads belong to the same system.
We the regular patrons of said Great Falls
road would like to know how long we will
be compelled to pay the extra nickel or
whether there is law protecting US?

Mr.. Albert Behrend of 800 Broadway,
New York, recently asked the District Com
missioners to pave Roanoke and Yale
streets east of 18th street, asserting that
the section has been neglected for years TO
the advantage of other sections of the city
The Commissioners have informed Mr.
Behrend that he is mistaken, stating that
the streets in question have been graded
and macadamized, and many other i'm
provements made Upon them. Therefore,
the Commissioners feel that it is not true
that the section has been neglected for
years to the advantage of other sections of

The Delay on the AIb.px.

Lieut.. H. G. Gilmore, assistant naval con-
structor, who is inspecting the progress of
the work on the Albany at Newcastle, Eng
land, writes the department as follows:
1T is to be hoped that the delay in the
completion of the vessel on account of the
fire may not be very great. One 4.7-inch,
four 4.7-inch guns, the mountings of two
field carriages and the armatures and coils
of the dynanos were badly damaged. AS
the machinery in the electrical shop was
destroyed. the delay in completing and in
stalling the dynamos will probably prove
great"

If you and l should wake from sleep
A century from now,
Back to the grave we d want to creep
A century from now.
We'd witness such startling change,
Find everything so wondrous strange,
We'd hustle back across the range,
A century from now.
A woman forty, fat and fair,
A century from now,
May warm the presidential chair,
A century from now.
Her cabinet may be flock
OF girlies, gay of hat and frock,
The White House may fesound with talk
A century from now.
The people all will fly on wings
A century from now;
Not heavenly, but patent things,
A century from now.
They'll soar aloft devoid of fear
On pinions of a chainless gear,
And change their model every year,
A century from now.
Therell be no restaurants at all,
century from now.
The home will have no dining hall,
A century from now.
The druggist all our wants will fill,
With food in tablets and to still
Our thirst we'll simply take pill,
A century from now.
But you and l will never care,
century from now.
Well be old timers over there,
A century from now.
For all who quit this world of woe,
Will dwell where peaceful waters flow
There'll be no hell at all, you know,

The X has been laid at the roots
OF two OF the biggest trees in the
clump of treason and the party must
go along DOWN the line and fell the
balance Of them. Sharon. in his
night to retain his place as head of
the Committee, found against him
many old friends who in the earlv
days OF the Silver party recalled how
Warranty he had fought for the cause
when he was regarded as a knight
tear and without reproach
and the duty of parting in the ways
with him was a sad one to all.
But duty to the party and the State
required a personal sacrifice and when
the time ca1ne to act there were men
the Committee who had the our
age to perform their duty.
Now is the time to clearly draw the
line OF demarcation between the false |
and the true and it will result in a
we'll disciplined, organized party that
all good Silver men will take pleasure
IN training with. With no distrust
m ITS leaders it will go into its next
battle with confidence and en-
.husiasm.

they were. These scraps of testi-
mony all came from Republican
sources. Now this kind of a certif-
cate OF character can hardly be con-
s1dered a recommendation in Silver
circles. The Republicans are very
ANXIOUS to keep these men in the
Silver party where they a knife it
IN some future election. The Silver
party cannot exactly see it in that

COUNTY PETITION

During the anvas in the late cleo
O Senator Martin and Assemblvman
WlIkerson published a card that thew
would be governed in the selection Of
a Senator by the wishes of their sup
porters ant the property interests Of
Douglas county. A protest has been
circulated, signed and presented to
the Legislature against the reelection
OF Senator Stewart. An attempt was
made to circulate a petition in favor
OF MI. NeWlands, and only even sig
natures were obtained, and. it beino
impossible to get a respectable mum.
Der OF slgners, the petition was des.
troyed. Nor has any other individual
besides Senator Stewart been able to
get up a petition IN his favor.
Senator Stewart has a petition
which Will be presented to the Doug
las county delegation numerous1v
signed by Silver men and PROPERTY
owners of Dou glas county, which is
the only petition that has been pre-
scented i'll favor of any candidate for
the Senate. The delegation from
Douglas cannot, Of course, accept a
protest. What they proposed to re.
ce1ve was a petition in favor of some
body, and Mr.. Stewart, having the
only petition of that kind, must be
as the choice of the Silver men
and property owners of Douglas.
