NEW BRIDGE WANTED.
Delegation Urge Bill for Construction
Of One Over Anacostia River.

Advocating the inttrests of H r.. 124T4.
which provides for the construction Of
new bridge across the Eastern branch from
Half street southwest to Randls Park,
which Is now before the Commissioners for
report, delegation OF residents and
property owners of the suburbs across the
river appeared in the board room at the
District building this morning.
Col. A. E. Randle opened the discussion.
and demonstrated the points as he made
tnem on map which showed the particu-
iar sections most effected. Attention was
called by Robert Cook to the great detour
which residents beyond the Eastern branch
are now compelled to make to get to and
from the city. r. Harrison johnson said
at Giesboro Point, and the improvements,
includlng the war college in the navy yard.
tended to increase property values In South
east Washington. but he regarded the
into the market
Probably the most thorough analysis of
the whole situation was given by NJ. B.
f Elhs. representing the Congress Heights
Srizens Association, who put the matter
IN an entirely new light when he said that
the proposed bridge could be built from
Hair street to the new made ground below
the st. Elizabeth Asylum grounds, at an
estimated cost of $150.OOO, instead Of $500
W. as contemplated In the measure He
stated that about 40 acres of made ground
GA vi ~ dDout three feet above high tide,
made 1t possible to construct a bridge only
so Ieet long, and he advanced as points to
support his argument the facts that the
projected construction of the steel plant at
Giesboro Point would undoubtedly mean a
great real estate improvement, and that
TINS would mean the need of a means of
ready ingress and egress to the section be-
yond the Eastern branch for laborers. for
teamsters carrying Building materials and
produce, for the fire department, etc.
Hearings on two other subjects were
granted members of the Congress Heights
Citizens Association. Charles NJ. Emmons
stating the need of sewer facilities, and
continue the work of extending Minnesota
avenue to the District line, which was be-
gun nfteen years ago. Mr.. Barker called
attention to the fact that Minnesota avenue
is intended to take the place of the Ana
costa road and he said that the improve
ment, at an estimated cost of SIS 600 would
eliminate the bad hills on this old thor
oushfare and give highway of easy grades
all the way to the District line.

POSITION REaARDING THE CANAL
Reports Of Engineers and commission
Submitted Eighty Steam

Secretary TAN has received the report OF
lthe .,isthmtan canal Communication transmit
ting the majority and minority reports OF
the board OF consulting engineers. The
commissioners report sets out the reasons
which Influenced ali OF the commissioners,
save Rear Admiral Endicott. to accept the
views Of the minority Of the board OF con-
suiting engineers rather than that of the
majority OF the board. which favored the
diKEtng OF sea-level canal.
To the minority report was appended a
letter from Chief Engineer Stevens REIN
forcing the reasoning Of the minority Of
the engineer board.
e FINALLY, accompanying the commissions
report is the minority report of Rear Adj
nffra and Commissioner Endicott indorstng
the views OF the majority Of the board Of
consulting engineers.
Secretary Taft's Attitude.
After Secretary Taft has read and d.
9ested the various reports he win transmit
them to the President with his own views
on. the subject. Although not officially de-
clared, 1t is generally understood that Sec
rotary Taft sides with the majority Of the
canal commission in favor of a lock canal
rather than with the majority OF the con-
sulting engineers In favor of a sea-leyel
canal Eventually the reports will be sub
mltteo TO Congress. Until that Is done they
will be withheld from publication.
AT recent session Of the canal commits
sion favorable action was taken on the
recommendations Of Chief Engineer Stew
ems regarding sanitation, involving the ex-
penditure OF about 100000 in carrying out
the details Of the plans which he had ex~
planned personally to the Senate committee
on fnteroceanfc canals. Provision has been
made for the installation of an electric
light and power plant at Culebra and EN-
pire at cost of $4,000.
Eighty Steam shovels Ordered.
The commission has recently placed with
Pittsburg manufacturing company an or
der for eighty powerful steam shoveis. The
order specifies that these machines are to be
Of the largest capacity for use on the Pan
anna canal work. This contract will. 1t Is
said. keep the factory busy until late in the
spring.
1t Is said that as a result of this large
government order. and the extra demand
for steam shovels by railroad companies
the stock on hand Of those machines has
been materially decreased, and they there
fore command fancy prices when they can
be bought at ALL 1t is also said that the
prices of the best shovels on the market
were recently raised $500.

Spirited Discussion With the President.

tween Senator Patterson and President
Roosevelt on the question of whether Pres
ident Roosevelt has usurped legislation In
regard to forest reservations
Most of YOU" said Senator Bailey ad-
dressing himself to the republicans, know
what a spirited debate with the President
means. We also know what 1t means with
Senator Patterson. 1t is likely to arouse
his lighting qualities. That debate must
have been most persuasive. We know that

Mr.. iailey then. addressing himself d.
rectly to the senator from Colorado. asked
whether there was any more reason why a
United States senator should cast his vote
untrammeled than II was that member
of the Colorado legislature should do 30. He
asserted that 1t was the duty of members
IN the legislature to elect United States
senator who would best represent that state
In the Senate, and he presumed that the
members of the Colorado legislature took
an oath of Office TO do their duty to the
best of their Judgment. And yet the demo-
cratic members of that legislature voted ac-
cordlng to the binding action or party
caucus voted for the candidate of the eau
and gave up their right to vote ac-
cordlnB to their own views when the cleo
tIon OF a senator should come up.
Senator Patterson arose 10 say that he
would let Mr.. Bailey finish his remarks
without interrupting him, but he did not
wish his silence to be interpreted as mean
ing approval OF what he was saying
Mr.. abbey retorted that so long as the
senator had risen he would be gratiffed II
he would answer his question whether
there was more reason that a United
caucus than that a member OF the Colorado
legislature should not enter a party eau
Gus
Cases Are Different
Mr. Patterson replied at some length,
saying that. 10 his mind, there was no
comparison IN tneSN Two SltuaConS. Inc
caucus OF the democrats of the legislature
was to determine upon a man who should
be relied upon to represent the state and
carry out the party principles In the SEN
ate there are questions of another char
acter to be taken into consideration.
Senator Bailey declared that Senator Pat
terson had never been In a political assem-
bly, where the caucus rules did not pre-
vail He asserted that less than ten years
after Senator Patterson had walked out OF
a democratic national convention because
he did not agree with his party's platform
he Il found standing at the bar of the Sen
ate TO represent the same people whom once
he had defied.
The democratic party" said Senator
Bailey. SIS as much responsible for the
senator from Colorado as he Is for II. When
he proclaims false doctrine In the Senate
the democratic party suffers. When he
praises a republican President the demo
cratic party by insinuation Is blamable.'
Reliious Distinctions in Appointments.

changes He admitted that he had left
the democratic party In 1892 rather than
support Mr. Cleveland. In this connection
he referred to Mr.. Tillmans course IN
his own state and Mr.. Tifiman Interrupted
with the remark that The. had eaten as
much crow in submitting to party nictation
as any man living"
"Did YOU Ike it?~ asked Mr.. Spooner.
and Mr.. Tfl1man replied: mo. but took

which continued as Mr.. Patterson remarked
that he. too. had eaten some crow less
tough than that taken by Mr.. Tflfman.
Mr. Patterson said he had boited some
marty nominations al home and expected to
do so again.

counting for less intelligence. All these
facts viii fully explain why men Of in
teIligence in the higher races may have
brains not notably heavy, but they do
not disprove the general statement
that as a class such men do possess
brains heavier than the average.
The mistake arises from the failure
TO recognize that noted men who have
shown intellectual power not ipfre-
ouently were sharply limited to ore or
two directions, being very defective in
other directions. Blind Tom is an
idiot. in fact-an extreme case OF what
is quite common. At the other extreme
was Gambetta, who was not much
more than an orator, whose cerebral
speech centers were found to be high
" developed The rest Of his brain
was small, and his general intellectual
power and judgments were decidedly
defective Ability in one or two lines
may make a man famous, while be IS
really very defective and his brain
proves to be small.
Heavy brains are not necessarily in
tellectual ones, or elephants would be
in the class Of geniuses. The material
might also be pathoIogic and the pos
SCISSOR an imbecile. 1t often happens
that men Of big brain and great ability
suffer from early neglect and are found
in lowIy employments or may remain
ignorant through life. These few facts
do not prove that large brains are
worthless and not Indicative Of mental
power as a rule. We cannot get away
from the fact that man as an animal is
supreme because Of his large brain;
that among races the brainfest are the
highest and that in any one race the
most intelligent, as a rule, are those
who have the most brains.
Men of small brains are not the lead
ers, and no statistics Of the brain
weights Of a few exceptional men
noted for limited abilities can reverse
the rule. Universities do not create
brains, but merely train what exist so
that the owners are better fitted for
the battle Of life. Many a man is sent
to college who should be handling a
pick and shovel and he never amounts
to much, even though he subsequently
makes his living at some very limited
specialty.-American Medicine.

The Lesson from the
I ennessee Convention,

The spectacle presented At the first
days session Of the Tennessee Demo
cratic convention. called to nominate
a candidate for governor, when fight
ing and general disorder were much
in evidence and actual rioting was
only prevented by the presence Of po-
lice, was in striking contrast TO the
primary held hut a short time before
in the same state, at which 'Fiddling
Bob" Taylor was nominated for the
United States senate, anO, while dis
graceful in the extreme, will serve its
purpose by furnishing material for
argument, which the advocates Of the
primary system will not be slow 70
avail themselves of.
The selection OF Governor Taylor
by the people was without friction or
disorder; the voters went quietly to
the polls and cast their ballots for
men of their choice. The attempt to
select a candidate for governor under
the ring-rUle plan amply demonstrate
ed the iniQuities of the csnventiGl
system, not OILY as regards It's fail
ure to voice the sentiments Of the
people, but also in the opportunity
il presented for politicians to wran-
gle and fsht to secure for themselves
Offices which only the people have
right TO bestOw.
The choice Of nominees for public
Office by the primary system gives
every man an opportunity 10 express
bis personal views as to the candi-
dates. and the right of suffrage is
dangerously abridged when the power
Of the people is delegated to the
hands OF the few.
