APPROVE NEW ROUTE.
Commissioners Have No Objection to
New Electric Road Bill.

A report. almost Identical to one for
warded to Congress April IS. 1904. Will be
sent by the Commissioners to the House
committee on the District of Columbia con-
corning the Washington and Western Mary
land railroad.
The original charter granted this line
provided that the road should be completed
within three years from the date OF tho
passage of the act. March 2. 1909. COM
missioner Biddle stated that some plans
and grades were approved within a year or
two after the date named. but that no work
of construction has been done The ace
now up for consideration is amendatory TO
the original measure authorizing the char
ter TO issue and proposes a slight change
in the route. The line. far as II extends
in the District, practically parallels the
Cabin John line. otherwise the Washington
and Great Falls railroad, by following the
tow path of the canal. At first the line au-
thorized was entirely on the tow path from
the Adueduct bridge to the District line.
but the amendment proposes that the tow
path and the canal road be crossed at a
point near the Chain bridge. At the AQue-
duct bridge the Commissioners report
states. the road will join the tracks of The
Georgetown Barge, Dock and Elevator
Company, which run from that point TO h
street and Rock creek.
Col. Biddle's suggestion, that the Commits
sioners' report that they have no objection
to either the original route or the one pro-
posed by the amendment, has been ap>
proved.

END OF THE 0REYFUs CASE.

If the story of Major Dreyfus had
been written as fiction, keeping to the
facts of his life as they developed from
the time of his trial to the restoration
of his command and his decoration by
the Legion of Honor. men would have
said such a career was impossible IN
der the conditions of modern civiliza-
ton. Yet the world has seen the story,
knows its truth and marvels scarcely at
all.
The first chapter was his accusal and
conviction of being traitor in the en-
ploy of a foreign nation, betraying mil
itary secrets for a bribe-the base of
the charge being a forged document.
He was degraded from his rank. SEN
fenced to exile on a barren island, kept
IN solitary confinement for years and
subjected to all the indignities attached
TO criminals Of his class. Through a
strange turn in the wheel of fortune he
found a defender in Zola, the novelist,
whose famous accusations of the men
who convicted Dreyfus started a storm
that stirred all France. Ultimately came
the return of Dreyfus. his release and
partial acquittal, to be followed finally
by a complete acknowledgment of the
injustice done him and such reparation
as could be made for all his long years
of physical suffering and mental tor
ture.
The American mind does not grasp
the political maze through which the
story has led it's chief characters; nor
is it possible for an American to COM
prehend the system under which such
monstrous injustice could be possible;
but it does grasp the significance of the
fact that the French republic was big
enough and strong enough to unravel
the tangled thread of forgery and Der
Jury and conspiracy. and finally to ac-
knowledge the wrong done before all
the nations. The finale marks a step
IN the old worlds progress.

TO STOP SCORCHING.

e. r. Thomas, one of the most PROM
inent automobile men, has come out
strongly in favor of putting an end TO
the reckless driving of automobiles in
town and country. Mr.. Thomas posi-
ton may seem inconsistent to some
people, because he makes an automobile
that is guaranteed to cover ground az
the rate of a mile minute. Neverthe-
less he is against the scoTcher, or rath-
er, against the reckless driver. He says
there are times when a speed of forty
miles an hour is not dangerous, but
that there are other times when a
speed of five miles an hour is "abso-
lutely criminal" Mr.. Thomas is quoted
by the Chicago Tribune as saying:
In my opinion it is high time automo-
bile manufacturers, automobile agents.
automobile chauffeurs should take unit
ed and positive stand against reckless
driving, eXerting a moral influence so
strong that il will soon be no more re-
through the streets than a horse-now
a rare occurrence. largely by reason of
the contempt in which reckless horse
driver is universally held
The great majority of owners using au-
tomObilas are responsible and conservative
business or professional men, thoroughly
considerable Of the rights of others, and
who would rather fOregO forever the
pleasure of riding if they believed ii nee
essarily endangered the lives of others.
Without exception this class is as Bit
terly opposed TO reckless driving as the
most ardent automobile hater, and favors
the severest penalties for infraction of
the law.
This is the position The Herald has
often taken. The increased use of the
automobile has made more or less COM
ment on the subject necessary. In Salt
Lake there are today probably three
automobiles where there was only one
a year ago, and at least twenty where
there was one three years ago. Five
years ago an automobile was a compar-
ative novelty i'm Salt Lake City. Pedes-
TRANS and drivers of horse-drawn
vehicles stopped to look at them, and
kept looking at them as long as they
were in sight. Today an automobile,
unless it is of unusual construction or
size. attracts no more attention than a
carriage and pair.

ACCUSED OF EMBEzzLEMENT
F. H. Bertel, BoOkkeeper at Crabtree
Produce Company, Arrested
on Warrant.

F. II. Bertel. % years old, employed
as bookkeeper and assistant cashier at
the Crabtree Produce company, was ar
rested yesterday morning by Police Off
Ger c. E. Carlson on a warrant charg
ing him with embezzement The com
plant was sworn to by Councilman c. ].
Crabtree, president of the company.
For the past three weeks, it is alleged,
Bertel has been changing figures in the
account books to cover up shortages. The
money has been appropriated, it is
charged, to his own use but the amount
is not stated. While in Chief of Police
George a. Sheets office Bertel admitted
that ne had appropriated some money to
his own use but intended to make it up
as soon as he received his check. Bertel
had been working but three weeks for the
company and when he came here month
ago had no money. His shortage, he
claims, is not more than $50 and that he
will settle it if possible without being
tried.

THE IDAHO sENAToRsHIP.

IL begins TO look as thought the Idaho
Republicans who oppose the popular
nomination of their candidate for SEN
ator would meet the fate usually re-
served for those who try to block pop
ular demand. 1t is a short-sighted pol
itician who opposes such a movement.
II there is a fixed, well-defined senti-
ment in the United States on any sub
ject 1t is the sentiment in favor OF popu-
larizing the election of senators.
Men who argue deliberately that the
people themselves are not to be trust
ed to name their own representatives
have a queer notion of popular govern
ment. 1t is inconceivable that the citi-
Eens Of Idaho will delegate the right to
select their senator to a coterie of politi-
clans who proclaim that the people
themselves are not fitted for that duty.
Rather, it would seem, the people would
prefer man who declares that the poo
pie are fitted for such a duty, and who
is not afraid to take chances upon such
a manner of selection.
Six years ago the movement for the
convention nomination OF senators was
inaugurated in Idaho by the Demo-
cratic party, which named Senator Fred
T. Dubois for the place. That selection
was approved by the people at the polls
and ratified by the legislature. The
coming Idaho Democratic state con-
vention, so far from repenting of the
precedent it set, will undoubtedly no'ni-
nate Senator Dubois for another term,
and those who vote the Democratic leg
islative bill will know for whom they
are casting their ballots for senator.
w. Z. Borah is waging in the Repub-
lican party fight for the popular cleo
ton of a senator The Herald hopes
that Idaho will not elect a Republican
senator; but Mr.. Borah is entitled to
credit for raising the issue and fight
ing for it. His Republican opponents,
apparently realizing the futility of Sc
curing for themselves a popular in
dorsement. are opposing the plan and
trying TO continue the antiquated pan
of selecting a senator by machine die
tation in the legislature.
