a delegation from the Northeast WASH
ington Citizens Association was granted a
hearing by the Commissioners today rela-
tive to the protest of residents of North
east Washington against the running of
open cars on the H street line by the Co.
lumbia Railway Company. During the
hearing 1t was declared that the open cars
on this line are responsible for two-thirds
of the sickness in Northeast Washington.
and 1t was suggested that for this reason
the matter Is one which might properly
come within the jurisdiction of the health
office.
AT the close of the hearing Commissioner
Macfarland speaking for the Commission
ers. said that the authorities will take up
the matter upon the new suggestion that
the health office take action In the case and
the protest will be referred to the corpora
ton counsel for an opinion as to whether
the Commissioners in the interests OF pub
lie health have authority to promulgate q
police regulation TO prevent the running of
open cars. He assured the citizens that
the Commissioners will give the mattel
careful consideration.
The delegation from the citizens asso.
citation consisted of Evan H. Tucker presi-
dent: Maj. j. B. Burke, vice president: IL.

sioners petition containing the signatures
of $50 residents of Northeast WASHINGTON
living in the vicinity OF Fl street
Maj. Burke, the first speaker for the asso-
citation. stated that the Columbia Railway
Company Is running ears which he desg-
mated as cattle cars, ON the H street
line. These cars, he said have a small
closed compartment, but the rest of the car
is open. He commended that the charter of
the company requires the company to oper-
ate modern cars. and that they shall be
convenient and comfortable. He declared
that the operation of the present style %
conveyance Is equivalent to crime against
the people.
DR.. Walter declared that two-thirds of
the sickness In Northeast Washington is
caused by persons riding on the open cars
which Is their only available means of
transportation from the northeast to the
northwest section of the city. , DIR. Parsons
corroborated DR.. Walters statement to the
effect that the cars are responsible for the
| Illness of many residents of the northeast
part Of the city. He suggested that the
| matter is one of which the health Office
| might properly take cognizance
Other members of the association stated
| that the cars have been objected to on
every other line on which they have been
! operated. They maintained that the II
| street line Is one Of the most profitable
| lines In the United States It was aiso

Every republican in the state
should come forward heartily to
the support of Judge Campbell,
the party nominee for supreme
judge. He was nominated unani-
mously by the state convention,
and no Republican can be faithful
to the party who fails to give him
his support.
Judge Campbell is a man of
eminent fitness for the Office for
which he has been nominated. He
has demonstrated this by years of
service both of the district and of
the supreme court. He is known
everywhere As man of exception
al ability and as a lawyer Of high
attainments. The uprightness Of
his private life is known to all men
and there is no one in the whole
state who could truthfully say
aught against him.
To refuse to support a man Of
this kind who is the party's choice
would on the part of any Republi-
can be without excuse or justiticat-
ion. Failure to support him will
stamp any Republican as unfaith-
ful to his party obligations and to
his duty to the state. The only
opposition to him among Republic
ans comes from a few recalcitrant
members IN Denver who are angry
because be did not do their bid
ding. They wanted him to pros
titute his Office to their ends, and
he refused to do it. They would
make the judges of the courts their
tools. to be used by them as they
might see proper. A judge of
that kind would be unworthy of a
place on any bench
The Republicans in every part
OF the state should appreciate the
situation and rally to the support
of their nominee. The very fact
that an effort will be made TO de-
feat him by fraud at the polls in
this city should make loyal citizens
everywhere all the more earnest
and all the more vigorous III his
support.-Denver Republican.

Ambitious Towns.

Ambitions of towns are as re-
markable as those of men. OF
course. nearly every Municipality
desires to be prosperous, Nave fine
schools. libraries and parks and in
crease its population. Many go
beyond these ordinary ambitions.
For instance, the town of Mons,
in Belgium, is desirous OF abolish
ing poverty within its borders.
says the New York World. To
this end every child is officially
registered as soon as it is born and
a banking account opened in its
name by the municipal authorities
with a deposit Of 20 cents. When
the youngstcr attains his majority
little nest egg awaits him to
assist his starting in business.
Brock, in Holland. aspires to the
distinction of being the neatest
town in the world, and certainly
no expense is spared to make it so.
The 400 inhabitants are so
strongly bound by municipal rule
that to throw piece of paper or
waste of any kind in the public
street entails twenty-five cent fine
and it is only recently that horses
have been allowed in the streets.
Once year every house is visited
by the town cleaners, who scrub
it from top to bottom, inside and
out, without any expense to the
tenants.
The chief desire of Baroa, in
Chile is to be known as a second

money has been poured out like
water to make it an exact replica

buildings in order that they nigh,

The Position Of the Mine Owners

The statement Of their position
in relation to the Western Federat-
ion of Miners which has been issu-
ed by the members of the Mine
Owners association of Cripple
Creek is an indictment of the feder-
alton which cannot fail to impress
every one who reads it.
The Western Federation of Min
ers is known by what it has done
and by what il has attempted to
do. 1t has intrusted the determine
alton of strike questions to a
few of its officials. upon whose de-
cision depends whether the men,
bers of the unions affiliated with
it shall or shall not lay down their
tools and quit work.
1t is evident in the case of Grip
pie Creek that this power may be
unwisely and recklessly used.
The strike in that district would
never have taken place if the decis-
ion Of the question had been left
to majority vote of the working
miners. Thus men who were en-
tirely satisfied with the terms and
conditions of their labor were COM
pelled against their will to walk
out.
Such an organization deprives
the subordinate members of their
liberty. 1t reduces them to the
level Of serfs, who must obey the
orders of men above them in rank
without any voice on their part in
the decision. 1t is therefore both
dangerous and contrary to the
American spirit.
1t is furthermore to a large de-
gree a Socialistic organization.
Some of its leading spirits want
the struggle between labor and
capital to continue. They court
and welcome a condition OF strife,
because they believe that by such
means the establishment of Social
istic state may best be promoted.
In this also it is American and
revolutionary.
The mine owners are right in
refusing to permit an organization
of this kind to dominate the Grip
pie Creek district and determine
who shall aud Who shall not be
permitted to work in the mines
Denver Republican.

wants the place. Sometimes there
are qualities and services that emil
nently fit the person for the posit-
ion to which he aspires. When
this is the case the voter is to be
congratulated. for what be has to
do is really determined upon.
when we get character and
capacity united we are getting to-
gether the qualities for an ideal
candidate. Capacity is not uncom-
mon. There are frequently to be
found men capable of filing the
position to which they aspire. Of
course, sometimes it is difficult to
settle whether the capacity exists.
OF course. if the candidate is up
for reelection the capacity to fill
the position may be eliminated.
"Under such conditions the test
of characty becomes the supreme
test. Now. there are plenty of
people who will not steal but who
at the same time are lacking in
the qualities necessary to fill an
important position. To dare to do
right when it may mean adverse
criticism is the surest test as to
character. The time must come
TO all when they must act upon
their own understanding of right
and wrong and not to do that
which is merely popular.
"All this is in a certain way ap-
plicable to Chief Justice Campbell,
who is now up for reelection. He
has served one term as chief Justice
and his efficiency and capacity has
not been questioned. This, so
far as the average man. must stand
as sufficient evidence as to his pro-
fessional and judicial capacity.
Regarding the test for charac-
ter, nothing can surpass Judge
Campbell's attitude on the A. P. A.
question when the movement was
so strong here few years ago. 1t
was movement that beguiled
many prominent men in the state.
Some of them undoubtedly hated
the Catholic Church and this
movement only enabled them to
express their hidden beliefs and
desires. There were others, how
ever. who merely wished to use
the movement for their own ag-
grandizement. And for this pur-
pose. on the surface. the movement
promised success. 1t was suppos-
ed to be secret society and its
members hidden in the dark pro-
posed to utilize the votes of the
members for their own selfish
purposes. Few prominent men
in political life. had the courage
to oppose this movement, especial
ly when they could avoid the issue.
Judge Campbell was one of the
few that had the courage to defy
them. This will undoubtedly be
remem bered on election day by
Catholics
