mind that the trend of belief today is that
in a few years steam locomotives will have
been abandoned on at least intercity runs
and electric motors Will take their places
Must Washington wait for its smokeless
terminal traffic until this substitution IS
effected on the entire stretch of road? why
not give it the benefit of clean equipment
pending the final adoption of the motor?
The surest way to hasten the day of final
locomotive elimination is to establish all
terminals upon an electric basis.
The plea that the electric motor is i'm
practicable is refuted by the acknowledge
ment that the New York Central Company
has adopted 1t for use in it's terminal ap-
proaches 1t matters not that this adop-
ton has been solely for the purpose of solv-
ing the tunnel ventilation problem. The
fact remains that that great terminal Is to
be soon, If it Is not now, operated exclu-
sively upon an electric basis, and the sue
cess of that departure may not be ques-
toned. If a necessity has forced the use
of electricity in New York, an equal If not
similar necessity should force it's adop-
ton here. The smoke nuisance here will
not be confined to a tunnel, but will be
spread over a large area of residences and
business and Office buildings. 1t will men
ace health and property.
The residential section of Washington
through which the terminal approaches run
Is not unimportant as President Cassatt
declares. 1t is as important to those
who live there as the northwestern part of
the city is to it's occupants. Furthermore.
1t is a growing section, and its growth will
be facilitated by the elimination of the
smoke nuisance. There are no "unimpor-

setting up the result Of its own fault as a
reason for persisting in further faults.
This matter must be carried promptly to

beyond 70 per cent Of the territory no per-
son can keep fowls or pigeons without hav-
ing obtained first the consent Of 70 per
cent of the residents within radius of 100
feet from the boundaries of the premises
and then satisfying the health officer that
sanitary conditions will be maintained and
securing his formal permission. 1t Is to be
hoped that the health officer in exercising
what Is undoubtedly meant to be his dis
criminatory power in the premises, will in
sure that permits are not granted to con-
siderable groups of chicken keepers In the
same square, each of whom will of course
sign the applications of the others and thus
impose extra hardships upon the non-chicken
keeping residents, who may find themselves
in the minority. 1t would seem to be only
fair to require the applicant to secure the
Endorsement of rs per cent of the residents
who are not themselves applicants for the
same privilege or who do not already en-
joy it.
However, this new regulation is a start,
and an excellent one, and 1t should be given
fair trial to see how 1t works. If it does
not operate to the end of conserving the
peace and quiet and comfort of the resi-
dents of the city it should be amended to
render the securing of permits even more
difficult. The Commissioners have estab-
lished the wholesome principle that the
keeping Of chickens In city is a poten-
tial nuisance, and 1t now remains to pro-
vide and enforce the rules which prevent
this practice from becoming an actual

The new fowl and pigeon regulation Just
adopted by the Commissioners is calculated
measurably to safeguard the comfort If
not the health Of the residents of the more
densely settled portions of the city. 1t is
wisely based upon the element of popula-
ton First of all, it applies to every
square or block In the District-the old
"city limits being properly disregarded-

10 per cent of improvement may be as Sc
riously disconnected as those on completely

for example. be all on one side, or on two
sides, with close habitation there and con-
seauent nuisances resulting from proximity
to poultry yards.

Higgins and Hughes,

Gov. Higgins of New York deserves praise
for resolution he has taken respecting APP
pointments to office. He has more than a
month of his term to serve, and there are
several good places vacant for which the
politicians are pressing. But he has de-
cided to leave the matter to his successor.
This is most wise and creditable, and tes-
titles to the interest the governor feels in
the success of Mr.. Hughes. The new gov
ernOr will take up a difficult task, and
should have the support of all his friends.
And Gov. Higgins renders him the best
possible support by the course he has
adopted. Men selected for Office by Mr..
Hughes will of course be very close to
him. and work in harmony with him toward
giving the state-what it needs and has
voted fora genuine Hughes administra-
tiOn of affairs. ---.,

Mr.. Troup's Alarming Discovery.

Alexander Troup, of Connecticut. fresh
from visit to Mr.. Bryan at Lincoln, has
started in to have little fun with the anti
Bryan democrats of the east. In his New
Haven newspaper he prints story about
recent meeting held in New York. at which
a scheme was concocted for heading off
Mr. Bryan for third nomination. Those
present were mllionaires and their repre-
sentatives, and the man fixed upon for the
race in 1908 was President Wilson of Prince
ton University. The yarn would travel
better and live longer IN warm than in cold
weather being of the midsummer variety,
but maybe now it will serve Mr.. Troup,s
purpose, which is that Bryan men. north,
south, east, and west, should take notice
that the opposition to the peerless leader in
the democratic party is still confined large
ly to Wall street and its connections. AS
Mr. Troup knows, while that impression
continues. Mr.. Bryan's hold on his old fol-
lowing is safe.
Wall street putting forward a scholar
and an educator presents something new,
and lends entertainment to the gossip. Mr..
Wilson is one of the country's most useful
men, and would exert himself in the White
House to administer affairs on sane and
safe basis In fair weather he would make
a capital helmsman. In storm, however,
he might fail. The old ship Of state re-
quires at such times expert handling, and
Mr.. Wilson Is without experience in po-
litical waters. That there Is rough water
ahead few men doubt, and for that reason
seasoned shippers are the ones both parties
in making nominations should, and prob
ably will. choose from.
Mr.. Troup slyly suggests Kentucky as the
state where the effort will be inaugurated
for swinging the south away from Mr..
Bryan. He well understands that in no
other state Is Mr.. Bryan stronger. All
three of the democratic factions there are
Bryanite. The old sound money squad
never large-are for Mr.. Bryan, although
still rejecting his money views and de-
ploring his railroad views. Mr.. Blackburn,
who is anti-Beckham, is for Mr.. Bryan. and
just now is sounding his praises in inter-
views. But. most important of all, Gov
Beckham, who controls the democratic or
ganization absolutely, is an enthusiastic
Bryan man. In his canvass for the nomi-
nation for United States senator, which he
won by over 10000 majority, he mentioned
his friendship for Mr.. Bryan repeatedly
and won votes by it. The strong prob
ability is that Kentucky will instruct for
Mr.. Bryan in 1908, and that Gov. Beckh1n
will head the delegation to the democratic
national convention.
Mr.. Troup must have enjoyed himself at
Lincoln, as this maneuver shows. The i'm
preston that Mr.. Bryan is without humor
is fading. Many things in the last few
years have revealed him in the light Of a
man who knows how to guy his enemies
quite as well as to jolly his friends. ' ''

Railroad Objections Unconvincing.

President Cassatt's letter to Commits
sioner Macfarland refusing to promise the
adoption of electric motors in this District
puts the case upon three distinct grounds
of objection. first, that the motors are i'm
practicable, second, that their use would
entail delays In reaching and leaving the
station, and third, that their installation
would burden the corporations with
heavy cost in addition to that already in
CURED in the construction of the terminal
OF these three the last is doubtless of prime
weight with the corporation. The same
factor caused a postponement for many
years of the elimination of grade crossings
In Washington. Yet now that the work
of grade crossing abolition is approaching
completion, after a hard bargain has been
driven with the government and the Dis
trict. the railroads take credit for the ex-
penditure and protest against further
outlay to complete the work in fitting
style.
AS to the second objection. that the ex-
change OF electric for steam locomotives
will entail a delay in the traffic, there can
be no doubt. and there has from the first
been no doubt, that this viii be the case.
But the delay need not be long, nor the
inconvenience serious. Washington has
endured a similar inconvenience for some
years in the operation of its street railways
running beyond certain bounds. In order
TO secure the advantage of a conduit sys-

to $50 miles will DE no more disadvanta-
geous.
