The real estate market in the week
just past was only fairly active. There
was less business than in the week pre-
ceding. At the same time, brokers are
pretty content with the general out
look They say that as a rule there
is less doing in their line "in the good
old summer time" than at any other,
and this, they declare, is especially true
in the year of a Presidential election.
in the matter OF investment in real

employees has always to be reckoned
with. In the course of the year they
buy and sell good deal of this kind
of property. Many of them are not only
hOme-seekers, but put no incOnsiderable
portion of their savings in real estate.

and reasonably profitable. In the days
when the motto Ito the victor belongs

the Presidential year was ever a sea-
son Of retirement from enterprises of
this sort for this class Of Washington
population. and although there is less
apprehension of the headsman since the
benefcent dispensation Of the civil ser
vice law, yet the possibility of a change
OF Administration makes Government
employees a trifie timid, for they know
that there have been instances Of cir
convention of the statute, and new
chiefs have found way to install their
friends and dependents. to the great
detriment of the incumbents
This condition. the real estate brokers
aver. is a potent reason OF the present
fiatness of the market. They say,
however. that there is no cause for be-
coming discouraged. for the fundamental
conditions are just as good as they can
be. and they look for greater activity
than ever after the excitement and IN

A contemporary says there will
probably be much exception taken
30 Gen. Chaffee's call on the patriotic
women of the country TO foster the
national martial spirit. The pa
triotism OF the nation Is ready, as
has been proved, to respond TO all
the demands on it OF the military
spirit, and while it is natural for a
soldier to exalt militarism, it should
not be forgotten that war is now an
evil and not a glory OF the times,
and that peace, with prosperity and
honor, is the goal OF the higher civili-
zation." Ii is quite likely that the
martial spirit is overdone in this
country, and it would be better If
our young men would turn their at
tention in other directions, the farm
for instance. The farming interest
OF this country, as important asitis,
seems to be too much neglected and
placed in the background, and there
fore our lands are growing up with
briars and other worthless growth.
Our young men should beencouraged
to turn their attention to farming
and thus become independent and
build up the country on a permanent
basis.

LET THE LEGISLATURE ADJOURN

We regret to learn that there is q
probability OF extending the present
session OF the Legislature thirty days
beyond the sixty day limit, which
may be done by vote OF three-tiths
of the members OF both houses.
There seems to US absolutely no ne
cessity for placing this additionale1-
pense and burden upon the taxpay-
ers. There are some measures now
pending which should be enacted in
to law, and the regular session is
amply sufficient in which TO accom-
plish this, but the great bulk and
majority OF the bills introduced are
nonsense, which the Legislature very
properly, in a majority OF cases,
turns down. The consideration oil
these measures, however, requires
time, and costs the people money
As we have before pointed out; our
statute law is now in such confused
and chaotic condition that no law
yer, much less the average citizen,
can by the utmost diligence keep
abreast Of it's mutations. And still
the cry is for more. Unfortunately
there is very large number OF meni In
both branches OF our General Assem-
bly, who areimbued with the idea that
they must do something TO attract
attention and make a reputation Tor
themselves, and they utterly fatl to
realize that it is much better to be
unknown than to have sush a repu-
tation as would follow the patron OF
some OF the measures which have
been proposed during this session
had they become law. Give usa rest,
gentlemen, and let the Legislature
adjourn at the earliest possible mo-
ment.

In view of the widely circulated state
ment made by those opposing the pres

control OF the organization could not be
kept except by packing conventions
with officeholders, it is sufficient to note
that in the Eighth district convention
held in this city, within fiveminutes walk

THE GOVERNMENT AND GOOD
ROADS.

In an editorial on proposed im-
proyement Of rural mail delivery the
Washington Post has the following
to say:
Mr.. Oyerstreet's Committee on Post
Offices and Post Roads has prepared a
report recommending an increase in the
psy ofrural route carriers IRON 5000 to
1920 year and denying TO them the OPP
ton of becoming the special agent OF prl-
vate concerns that may seek their serv-
ices for hire. The report serves adoubly
good purpose; itgrants living compensa-
ton to deserving class and IL strikes at
a system that, il carried to its perfect
fruitage, would bring Generalization
and corruption TO an important arm OF
the governments service. Rural mail de
livery has come to stay. 1t is the best
thing the government has done Tor the
farm communities In recent years.
Weheartily agree with ouresteemed
contemporary in all it says in refer
ence TO rural free delivery. 1t is the
best thing the government has done
for the farmer in recent years. At
present the pay is so small that the
service is very much impaired there
by, being so inadequate for the
amount OF labor entailed and the ex-
posure to all kinds OF weather that
really competent men cannot afford
to perform the service. We go how
ever step further than we presume
our contemporary will go, and add
that before rural delivery of mail can
be made entirely successful We must
have good roads and we will never
have good roads generally through
out the country until the L. S. Gov
eminent assists>in making them, and
the benefit OF free rural delivery to
the farmers is not to be compared to
the benefit TO be derived from good
roads. The government can as well
afford to do the one as the other,
and the two go hand in hand. In
deed We have seen the delivery OF
mails absolutely suspended at times
In this section on account OF the in
passable conditions OF the highways
and streams.

The scarcity OF cars for the trans
portatiop OF coal and coke in the
coal regions of Pennsylvania is seri-
ously affecting the supply in different
parts OF the country. Probably no
winter for many years past have we
had so much cold weather and such
q demand for fuel. For this reason
the railroads leading to the coal
regions have all been heavily taxed
and cars are becoming scarce. Happy
should be those people whose coal
bins are well supplied and whose
wood houses are wellfilled, and still
happier would they be il they would
lend to their poor neighbors who
have neither coal or wood.
