The line Of travel for this auto-vehicIe
method OF transportation Will be along

and then over + street TO Dupont Circle.
This course was decided upon as test
as to whether the new project would
become what its promoters hope for.
At any rate they contemplate giving the
residents of the territory along this line
an opportunity TO show whether the peo-
pie Of Washington really are anxious TO
keep abreast of the times in the matter
Of up-to-date transportation.
May Operate Another Line
Another line may be put in operation
on Massachusetts avenue from point
close TO the Naval Observatory down 20
the new Union Station. This line, how
ever, will not be put into operation until

by President Gompers and adopted

II. The right Of suffrage should

No one should be permitted to vote

GRAND MARCH MADE A HIT.

The grand march at the Skating
Rink last night was participated
in and enjoyed by just thirty six
couples. 1t was led by Mr.. Will
Owsley and Miss Vicie Wootten.
This being the first time it has
been tried, there was some specula
tious as to how it would go but the
the skaters did splendidly. The
march will be repeated every night
and the figures will be made more
difficult. One of the. largest crowds
that has ever been at the ink was
there last night. The evenings
would be more enjoyable if the
time we're divided into more even
periods, giving perhaps fifteen
minutes to each number.

PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT
N. M. WILLIAMS.

This applies to skating as well
as to other things and the best
skaters are going TO secure the
most prizes.
The mornings and afternoons
are good times to practice as there
are not so many skaters on the
floor and you have an opportunity
of trying your skill without fear OF
interruption.
Within the next thirty days the
management will offer some nice
prizes for good skaters. Would Mt
you like TO win a nice piece of

china or a cut glass piece. Some
thing on this order will be given

PAVING IN RESIDENCE DISTRICTS

The Oklahoma City Times Journ-
al offers the following practical
suggestions on paving in residence
districts.
The people on a number of the
fine residence streets Of the city
are petitioning for paving and
several miles Of paving is likely to
be added within the coming year.
This is still needed as the city can
easily stand ten miles more of paw.
ed streets.
One thing which has stimulated
the desire for more paving is the
fact that the paved area is to be
made much narrower in most
cases. People at first thought that
forty feet was needed and finally
thirty feet was considered wide
enough for residence portions of
the city. Even this is found to be
unnecessarily wide for cross streets
in the purely residence sections and
one street now paved is but twenty
eight feet in width and it is pro-
posed to reduce some of the new
streets to twenty-six feet and this
will be found to be wide enough
for all purposes. With a paved
area only twenty six feet in width,
the parkings would be so wide that
trees would do we'll and a most
beautiful street would result. Only
a small proportion Of the people
living along these streets own fast
horses or automobiles to race along
them and they are under no OBJ.

Mr.. BONDS CANDIDACY

Shawnee Herald:-On another
page of the Herald is to be found
the announcement of Hon. Reford
Bond of Chickasha as a candidate
for the democratic nomination for
congress in this district Mr..
Bond is one of the best known
young men in the district where he
has a record and personal characr
ter that cannot fail to commend
him to the democrats Of the district
as a man of high integrity and
thorough conviction. Mr.. Bond in
his platform very plainly sets forth
the principles that he stands for
and there can be no doubt but
that they are purely democratic
and the kind that the interests of
a clean administration Of pubic
affairs demand. The writer prides
himself that he Is a personal friend
of Mr.. Bond and has never known
the time that Mr.. Bond was seri-
ously wrong on political PROPOSE
fion and If he was, he was always
willing to make amends. The
democrats Of the district, if they
should decide to nominate Mr.,
Bond, will find that they have made
no mistake and that they can place
him before the people with party
pride.
Shawnee State Journal;-Hon.
Reford Bond, of Chickasha. makes
the announcement this week of his
candidacy for the Democratic nom.
nation for congress in this, the
Fifth district. He also offers a
platform Of principles with which
he is in accord and he makes his
appeal directly to the Democratic
voters of tine district in words of
the absolute sincerity, breathing
spirit of earnest devotion to what
he believes to be the interests OF
all the people of this district and
Of the new state. The Journal
does not agree with some of Mr..
Bonds deductions, but it wants to
go on record as saying that in Mr..
Bond the voters have an oppor-
tunity TO name a man Of strict per-
sonal integrity, clean character and
unusual ability to represent them
as their candidate in the hrst elec.
ton. His location is good and he
has the enthusiastic support of his
home people-those who know him
best. He will make a clean and
manly campaign for the whole
ticket.
