YNHE progress made during the
last decade In the methods OF
local transportation for great
masses Of people Is perhaps
better Illustrated IN Boston than in any
other American city Yankee energy
has brought together underground sur
face and elevated tracks in a single sys-
ten accommodating the most diverse
needs of a large urban and suburban
territory containing a population Of
over million souls for all Of whom
directly or indirectly, the business dis
trct Of Boston, which stlll centers near
the historic Old South Meeting House, Is
more or less directly the daily objective
point Something OF the difficulties
arising from the great congestion Of
people In this special section may be
imagined when one learns that the
number Of passengers accommodated
annually by single down town station,
comparatively small IN area, Is exceed
ed by only two other stations Of any
kind anywhere In the world. Today
however, In spite Of changes, extensions
and Improvements that are always
being demanded by the growth of the
population comparative order has been |
evolved by the skillful combination Of |
modern means and methods from sit |
uatlon that few years ago the pess- |
mlsts predicted could never be much |
better than a kind OF modified chaos
Boston, to be sure, had the electric |
trolley car earlier than any other large |
city, but ten years ago even the old
fashioned omnibus lines had only just
been discontinued, ana horse cars were
stlll largely used, with extra horses at
the street corners 10 pull the load up
over frequent grades. Furthermore, The
few electrics then In operation could
not be- run ut any considerable speed IN
the crooked down town streets-the
"c0wpaths' Of the old peninsula on
which Boston was originally buili--and
were compelled to crawl through the
greater part Of the business section
more slowly than the horse cars them
selves. A controversy over a proposal
to cut a street through the Common,
which lies right across one side Of the
shopping district, resulted In COM
promise and the building Of the Boston
subway, which was then looked on as
something Of u marvel In its way and
has served as basis for Improvement,
II not as the direct model for later
work OF the kind al over the world
From the subway within the last three
years has resulted although the combs

elevated system, under the control Of
the Boston Elevated road which unltes

thus given lis name to the whole sys-

There is considerable risk incurred in
shoeing vicious horses, both to the
blacksmith and to the horse itself. TO
remove this risk altogether an Austria
liam has invented a sort OF wooden
cage, the aides and top of which are pad

fastened and the cage is then turned
completely upside down, the animal
resting on its back with its feet up.

Plain Talk to a Factionist
From Texas.

Oyster Bay, N. Y. Aug. 21.-Presi.
dent Roosevelt yesterday, in no un
certain terms, expressed his disap-
proval of factional differences in the
Republican party. Cecil A. LyoE,
chairman Of the Republican state
committee of Texas, called upon him
and presented his side Of the contrc
yersy which has arisen among the Re
publicans Of the Lone Star state.
The president stated to him with
the utmost emphasis that no man had
any authority to speak for the pres:
dent as regards Texas matters; that
the president was taking no side for
or against any man or any faction
among the Texan Republicans; tha.
as a matter Of fact the president was
exceedingly impatient with those Re-
Tublicans who went into factional di.
visions and that in any such states
as Texas or Virginia, or in any other
state in which the Republican party
is in minority. but yet had a chance
to do something, the president felt
The credit would fall to those Repub-
iican leaders who were able to make
q good showing at the polls, especially

ting how they could get delegates or
receive Offices. He told Mr.. Lyo2
that he could explain this to all Texa,
Republicans or every faction.
Slap at Office Seekers.
The president also told him tha. e
ever, in any such Southern state,
Republican congressman was elected,
It would amount to far more in the
residents mind than anything which
could be done in the way Of Offices,
and that he felt there was little need
Of recognition for an organization
which existed only for offices and
delegates.
1t was learned that the president
told Chairman Babcock, of the Repub-
lEan congressional committee, when
the latter visited him few days ago,
that he was profoundly discontented
with the Virginia Republican organi.
zStion for not making a resolute eff.
fort to elect Republican congressman
from the western districts of Virginia,
and that he felt that an organization
v hich did not try to develop the
fullest party strength at the polls had
40 claims upon him.
