Keep the Old Street Names

The proposition. embodied In bill be-
fore the Senate. to change the name of
Georgia avenue TO Navy Yard avenue and
u give the name OF Georgia to Brightwood
avenue. should be given scant considera ton
by Congress. This measure Is inspired il
is understood, by the dissatisfaction felt by
certain Georgians with the thoroughfare
which bears the name OF their state They
have cast their eyes on one In another
part OF town, with more present and pros
pectiye social prestige than that which was
assigned to Georgia many years ago. when
the capital was only an embryonic city.
II this bill is passed there is reason to
fear that others OF similar character Will
be pressed for action. The result will be
a general overhauling and changing of the
names OF the avenues OF the city. and no.
body can foretsll the end. No householder
can be sure that he will not go to sleep
living on Indiana avenue and wake up to
find that has been shifted to another part
OF the Union II a stare that does not like
the kind OF street to which its name Is
given In the national capital can get a
transfer or wipe its name entirely on the
local map there viii be no satisfying any
OF them.
There is Maine avenue. for instance. 1t
il not what would ordinarily be called an
attractive thoroughfare. although 1t has
great possibilities owing to its adjacence to

associates There were no euphemisms.
The CRATER said nothing about campaign
contributions or gifts or Inducements or
an Indirect nature. He pumped out his
proposition as coldly as though he were a
butcher quoting the price of sirioin steak
to a customer. He named his men and the
amount required by each In exchange for
his vote.
Then followed a series of interviews be-
tween the official and the would-be vote
sellers. Each interview was reported by q
hidden stenographer. When the negotia-
lions were concluded the telephone official
calmly announced that he did not propose
to do business In that fashion. and q little
later his bill was defeated by the board of
aldermen. The telephone company swai-
lowed its chagrin and the official locked up
his stenographic reports and the matter
rested for awhile. Later some of the cit
ixens of New Rochelle. who had wanted
the telephone service. began to suspect that
there was something wrong and made some
Inquiries They asked the man who had
refused to bride the aldermen about his Inn
pressiors of the case and were astounded
when he brought forth his notes and told
the whole story. Now those notes have
grown into affidavits and have been iaio
before the grand jury and indictments are
expected.
This Is bad season for grafters 1t Is
also q bad season for bride givers- the
wise corporation official and public omcer
has read Alright the signs of the times ana
has changed his ways. The reformation
may not be permanent. but few expe-
riences such as that just reported from
New Rochelle will go far toward making
honesty the fashion.

Sure Guide to Happiness.
From the Philadelphia Ledger.

From the Pbf1aueIpHid Ltugtf
Addison, In one of his '.Sir Roger De Cow
erleyr sketches, says: "A mans first care
should be TO avoid the reproaches OF his
own heart; his next to escape the censures
of the world: If the last interferes with
the former it ought to be entirely neglect
ed" II we may Judge from experience and
from the sights and sounds around u.s. this
is scarcely the principle which directs the
conduct OF many of US. And yet there is
an immense amount of practical common
sense wisdom in Addisons dictum, for In
avoiding the reproaches of his own heart a
man is taking the surest step toward the
highest good-happiness.

Preserving Objects of Interest.
ON the Boston Transcript

Americans are slowly awaking to the
commercial value Of preserving natural
wonders and objects of historic interest.
An important factor in the prosperity OF
Italy and other nations of the old world Is
the tourist trade. 1t has been estimated
that the money spent by tourists in Italy
constitutes a third income of that country.
Entry of the United States into the galaxy
of world powers has greatly increased its
value from the standpoint of the tourists,
and steamship companies report marked
increase In the last few years in the num-
Der of foreign visitors to this country.
Hitherto Americans have not been quick
to realize the necessity of preserving and
marking the points of interest In the va
rious parts of the country which will at
tract visitors.

The House and the Meat Bill.

While 1t is important to get action as
quickly as possible on the meat Inspection
BILL ruthless application of the gag rule
In the House will work harm rather than
good. This subject has never been dis
cussed by the House. 1t requires little de-
bate to be sure, to persuade the great ma
Jority of clear-seeing people of the urgent
need of reliable system of inspection that
will guarantee the public pure and clearly
meat products But since the Senate adopt
ed the Beveridge amendment to the agri-
cultural appropriation bill great deal has
been said and written in an effort to show
that the packers have been misjudged and
pilloried. AS the case stands, the House
committee on agriculture seems to have
espoused the cause Of the packers rather
than that Of the people, and all reports
agree that from that committee the inspec-
ton paragraph will come SO altered as to
be unrecognizable.
To put such a paragraph through the
House under the gag rule giving members
no chance to discuss 1t, will be a highly
dangerous proceeding. 1t will mean that
this matter will be legislated upon solely
by committee, by the committee on agri-
culture in the first place and by the con-
ference committee In the last stage. The
subject is too important thus to be dis
posed of in a corner. 1t should be shaped
In the open, with full opportunity for talk
by both sides, with a chance for amend
ment in detail If In the judgment of a ma
jority changes are necessary.
The prime object of Congress tn this
matter should be to insure the enactment of
a law which, without imposing unwarrant-
ed hardship upon the cattle raisers or the
packers. will establish an inspection sys-
tenn that will safeguard the consumer from
diseased meats and from questionable
products prepared In an unclean manner In
insanitary surroundings. 1t Is the belief Of
the President and many members Of Con-
gress. and of a large portion of the people.
that In order to be sure OF continuous In
spection from year to year with no slack
ening of the standards or the thoroughness
of the scrutiny in the packing houses
1t Is necessary to impose the cost of this
inspection upon the packers. The con-
sumner well understands that the packer
viii promptly shift this money burden from
his own shoulders to that of the retailer
who will doubtless in turn transfer 1t to
the purchaser. That is one of the unwrit-
ten laws of the trade The consumer must
in the end himself pay for the process
which compels the producer to respect the
laws of health and decency. But that cost
when divided up among the many millions
of consumers in the United States and Eu-
rope, will be a negligible trifie compared
with the benefit of the guarantee afforded
by the inspection.
II this subject is not disposed of with
the primary object in view of safeguard
ing the public welfare, Congress will
have earned the distrust of the coun-
try. Nauseating as the subject may be,
and demoralizing to trade as prolonged dis
cussion may be. debate is nevertheless a
necessity If the House is to pass a law
which will meet the requirements.

A BreakP
From the Philadelphia Record.

Mr.. Roosevelt Is more noted for attack
than for tact. but Secretary Root ought to
have saved him from the unfortunate mis-
take Of appointing as special envoy to
Haakon's coronation our minister to
Sweden. Owing to the relations between
the two kingdoms no minister could be
less welcome In Norway than the one ac-
credited to Sweden. All matters Of
courtesy seem small in themselves. but
most OF them have real and important
significance.

Heart
Like a Clock

The pulsation of the heart marks
the passage of the blood through
the veins, just as the ticking of 4
clock indicates the flight of mo-
ment of time. Palpitation, fiutter-
ing or irregular action reveals the
fact that the heart is running down
and unless strengthened is liable
to stop at any time under some
weakening influence, such as excite
ment. overwork or intense mental
or physical strain. To regulate the
heart action you should take DIR.
