Success at Last.

The Star could never agree that any mu-
nicipal corporation interests demanded
a division of the railroad stations but al
ways contended that every considerations
both of the communitys interests and the
economic administration of the railroads
themselves, demanded their union. There
fore it was especially gratfied when, after
years of corporate rivalry, the two roads
were brought to agreement on this score
and junction of the lines outside of the
city was assured The scale upon which
the pending plans have been prepared is
furthermore a source of great qualification
to The Star agreeing as it does with that
for which this paper has steadfastly pleaded
in its treatment of the question. Thus
The Stars dream of an ideal steam rail-
road equipment for the great national city
is at last to come true, and when these
projects now penang are executed it will
be found that The Star has from the out
set been true to the mark of advocating a
terminal system suitable for great CAPT.

raj course as demands for extensions were
made by the people, and as capital was
found in sufficient amount and enterprise
to supply them. Further. in some instances,
the history of the street railways of the
District proves the wisdom of pioneering in

welfare must be guarded a all points, even
at times at an apparent sacrifice.
Washingtons pride in its street railway
system of today is unmistakable But only
a few years ago the public patience was so
sorely tried by the inadequac;es of the
equipment that it required the sharpest
fighting to prevent false move toward the
adoption Of a cheap and dangerous stan

The Star Against Cheap Methods.

The part played by The Star in that long.
tedious campaign for frst-class street
railway equipment for the capital is now
acknowledged to have been an important if
not determining factor. True to its con-
ception of a grand national city, equipped
with the best of everything, The Star
jealousy watched all advances by the troll
ley interests toward this field. 1t was
forced at times to perform an ungracous
service, eXerting itself to the utmost to
prevent the construction of city lines which
would give the people rapid transit with
out delay and afford local investors an
early and rich return on their capital
But it had noted the repeated reports of
deaths in other cities due to the exposure
of heavily charged trolley wires 1t con-
ceived a higher ideal for the capital than
a city gridironed with useless Implications
OF tracks and disfgured by ugly standards
carrying network of wires 1t believed
that rapid transit mig. be achieved with
out paying such price
The problem of local transportation was
not acute before war times. Washington
had been known almost from it's foundation
as the city of magnificent distances" It's
more or less transient population had be-

streets, just east of the depot of that COM
pany now loca ted. The Pennsylvania
tracks, and those of the southern roads
coming into the Pennsylvania depot fol-
lowed substantially their present routes,
being depressed in part and elevated before
entering the Mall and until carried into the
station at 9Th and B streets.
While these plans seemed to solve the
problem, yet before work was begun to
carry them out a community of interests
established between the Pennsylvania
and the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Com
panies by transfer of a controlling inter
est of the latter road into the hands of
those in control of the Pennsylvania sys-
tenn. This made possible a still more sat
isfactory result in the form of a union
station to accommodate all the roads that
enter the city. 1t also involved the removal
of the tracks of the Pennsylvania road
from the Mall and the establishment of the
union station north of the Capitol The
removal of the tracks from the Mall and
the restoration of that reservation as a
park in keeping with the intention of those
who planned the city, has for many years
been urged upon Congress by The Star on
every occasion when such discussion has
been pertinent.

THE PROPOSED NEW TERMINAL STATION

printed, in the course of Mr.. T. w. Noyes'
editorial correspondence from abroad, let
ters describing the great railroad stations
of Berlin, Frankfort, Paris and London
and, besides contributing thereby to the
general information as to the best method
of eliminating the grade crossings. it
showed conclusively that the foreign con-
ception of a capital included an artistic
munificent treatment of the railroad facli-
ties, usually in America relegated to the
back yards of cities and permitted to be-
come unsightly blots on the municipal land
scape.

The First Car Line.

The civil war made Washington a center
of national interest as never before It's
population rapidly increased. and in May,
1862, was incorporated the Washington and
Georgetown Street Railway Company, pion-
eer of all the capitals traction lines 1t
satisfied it's patrons and its projectors, al
though it was at first only trife more
than a mile in length. 1t was later ex-
tended under the terms of the original act
of Incorporation, and before the close of
that year it had covered virtually the
ground which for nearly thirty years con-

the gates were lowered 116 times, 1900 peo-
pie We're delayed in passing, Pip carts and
wagons We're held up. 97S cable cars waited
for an opportunity to pass. This annoy
ance noted in 1890 is typical of what has
been experienced ever since, and what had
been encountered for years before that
time.
Since 1873 the District government car
ried on steady fight for the elimination of
grade crossings SO that Congress was at
all times kept fully informed from official
sources of the needs of the District in re-
gard to it's railroads.

The Union Station Idea.

These pending plans of the two railroads
not only solve the great grade crossing
problem and free the Mall of its obstruc
lions, but they provide for that third and
perhaps most desirable object of all those
for which The Star has worked unceas-
ingly for years, the combination of the ter
minals. This papers conception of the
ideal American capital has included a vision
of a railroad terminal of a monumental
character, located with reference both to
the convenience of the travelling public and
to the development of the citys artistic
features. The Star has refused to regard
the steam railroads needs as demanding
only an economic treatment and permitting
the barest of provisions. 1t looked abroad
and saw evidences of what Europe was
doing in this matter of railroad stations,
and it set the Washington standard as
high as any there to be found. In 1892 it

THE FIGHT AGAINST OVERHEAD WIRES.

Forty years ago the first street railway
was constructed in Washington. Today the
national capital possesses local transport
system, not only practically complete in
point of covering the lines of traffic, but one
of the finest in the world, as regards its quail

the city's increasing needs came in natu-

The Stars Petition in 1890.

AS the years passed by the urgent need
for some relief from the deadly grade cross
ing became more and more apparent. In
the spring of 1890 The Star gave it's read
opportunity to sign a petition to
Congress for the elimination of grade cross
ings, and without any special effort to get
a large number of signatures the paper
was signed by 1900 people in a very short
period The names of the leading men of
the District were attached to this petition.
The popular demand for an abolition of the
grade crossing expressed then has never
lessened since No opportunity to promote
this project has been allowed by The Star
to pass.
After long delay plans for accomplishing
the desired results were agreed upon by the
various interests involved and bills were
passed by the Fiftysixth Congress. These
measures dealt with the two lines of rail-
road separately. On the Baltimore and
Ohio the tracks We're to be brought into
the city on a masonry yiaduct to the depot
on street between North Capitol and list

now included in the system. The next wear

been a constant agitation of this question.
The files of The Star show to what a great
extent this paper gave it's space to the
publication of information bearing on this
subject, while editorially the various plans
that have been proposed, from time to time,
have been fully discussed. Throughout
these editorials two thoughts were equally
prominent. One was the urgent need of
prompt action and the other was the neces-
sity for the adoption of plan that would
be a permanent Improvement when made
and would not make necessary another
campaign for supplanting it with something

The Long Death Roll.

lie Long OSdtu MOL.
During all these years Congress was slow
to take any action. The stories of the
deadly work of the grade crossings had but
a temporary effect on the minds of men in
trusted with the task of looking after the
interests of the District. From November
II, 1872, to July q 1888, thirty-three people
were killed on the line of the Baltimore and
Potomac railroad. twenty-eight in the city
and five in the county. Beside these trag
edes there were 191 serious accidents on
that road during that time. There was
also the same dangerous condition on the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad From July IL,
1873, to July ., 1884, twentyfour people
were killed along it's tracks in the District.
In addition there We're fifty-nine serious ac-
cidents on that road within the District. In
all, in little more than a dozen years,
people and 127 others were manned because
of neglect of the roads to properly guard
their tracks. These facts We're urged upon
the Senate in 1888 by Senator Morrill, in a
fruitless effort to secure congressional ac-
ton for the elimination of the grade cross
ings.
Not only were the railroads endangering
the lives of the people during these years
They were also interfering with the ma
terial interests of the people. Traffic was
being hindered to a very great extent. On
June 10 1890, a careful account was taken
of the delays caused by the cars blocking
