NECESSITY FOR A SIDEWALK

Thomas ". Smith. president Of the
East Washington Citizens Association,
announced at a meeting of that organiza-
ton last evening that suggestions for
general improvements in East Washing
ton and the county east of the city were
in order. the executive committee having
decided to hear such suggestions at the
November meeting Mr.. NJ. / Weller
directed attention to the estimates of the
Commissioners for street improvements
the coming year. saying they had recon-
mended an appropriation of Sos 800 for
such work in East Washington He ex-
planned he had discussed the question of
such improvements with Commissioner
Morrow, and had mentioned Georgia ave
nue.. which. he stated, is not on the sched-
ule of streets TO be improved the coming
year. Commissioner Morrow, he stated.
said the Commissioners had looked over
East Washington, and had reached the
conclusion that other streets need i'm
provements more than does Georgia ave
nue.. Mr. Weller added he told the
Commissioner that the people of East
Washington would go direct to Congress
and ask for specific appropriation for
the Improvement of the avenue mentioned.
as they had done in the case of South
Carolina avenue.
Mr.. Weller complained that there had
been too marked discrimination shown in
the appropriation asked for improvements
in the county east and west: that in the
east being only ~ per cent Of the whole
amount asked Commissioner Morrow, he
said. had explained that he considered
most of the county improvements in the
west as being combinations of city
streets, and spoke of the amount of tax
alton imposed in that section
Mr.. Weller said it was for the different
associations to unite and demand their
full share of the appropriations for all
kinds of improvements. During the dis
cusson of the question of street improve
nents Mr.. Weller referred to the matter
of narrowing streets, saying he had no
objection to the narrowing of residence
streets where traffic was not heavy. The
narrowing of streets. he said, would en-
able the Commissioners to improve
greater length of the street. He re-
marked that 18th street southeast was the
first that had been narrowed, and he
could not see that any disadvantage had
resulted

Protest Against Use of Macadam.

MT. SSlDolu anu MI lark TeSlGeNlS or
South Carolina avenue. protested against
the laying of a macadam pavement on
South Carolina avenue from 18th street
to 10Th street. It was explained that
Congress had appropriated $4,000 for the
paving Of the two squares, and members
Of the association who discussed the pro
test agreed that a pavement and not
ma Cadam road was intended by Congress.
1T will not cost $1,000 10 maCadamZe
the two squares" Mr.. Setbold declared,
and l would like 10 know what is to
become of the money that IS left
Mr.. Clark told of the protest he had
made to the Commissioners and read the
response he had received from them. He
agreed with other members of the asso-
citation that II would be better To get an
asphalt pavement on one square this
year than to have both squares maCad-
amized. II was pointed out by Mr.. Sci
bold that Florida avenue northeast had
been maCada mixed, and the cost of re-
pairs and care had been greater than
would have been the cost of 1t pave
ment. He also stated that a maCadam
road is objectionable within the city linn
its, as the dust and dirt from ii are snch
that houses along macadamized thorough
ia res cannot be kept clean.
1t was finally decided TO have a com
mittee. of which Capt William NJ Potter
is chairma n. visit the Comm issioners and
state to them the views expressed at the
meeting.
Sidewalk to Cemetery.
Mr. Whitney urged that the Commits
sioners be asked to lay sidewalk of
some kind from the eastern terminus o.
the Capital Traction line to Congressional
cemetery. He said that women and chill
dren have to wade through mud up to
their ankles during wet weather in order
20 reach the cemetery from the cars. 1t
was stated that an order had been made
for a sidewalk there. but that the ceme-
terry officials had had the order rescinded
because of the cost Mr. Whitney sug-
gested that the Commissioners might be
prevailed upon TO put down old tagging
which would not have to be paid FOR by
the cemetery officials
The simpler plan. Mr. Williams sug-
gested, would be to remove the Gene
terry"
4 m in favor Of that President SmI,n
said. He added that he had received
communication from the secretary OF the
East End Suburban Citizens Association
asking that the East Washington Associa-
ton assist in the effort TO prevent the
erection of station at 18th and II streets
northeast for the Washington. Baltimore
and Annapolis electric road. The objec-
ton 10 the construction there. he said. is
that Maryland avenue may be extended
through the old GraCeland cemetery prop
erty in the near future and building
located there might be a stumbling block
The association agreed to render the as
sistance asked. Nj Smith suggesting that
the Commissioners might induce the df-
reCtors OF the road to put the building

PRICE IS SLIDING

The farmer probably observes
in the market reports Of the
papers, that the price Of new
wheat is sliding down daily, al.
though not a bushel of new wheat
has gone on the market. And
without a particle of glut or
even new supply. and with less
old wheat on hand than usual
the market drops cent by cent
till the dollar cry will probably
end up in about eighty cents.
We have hoped that the western
movement among farmers to fix
and hold a price for grain would
have some substantial root by
this present harvest, but do not
know what the matter amounts
to.

WHAT WE ARE Or ARE NOT

The longer we live, the more We learn,
the less we think we know. Such is the
inconsistency of mans ideas. The less
one knows the greater his opinion of his
abilities and wisdom. In the morning of
life conceited man prides himself on his
greatness, and wonders to what grand
channel he will confne his talents. He
looks upon his school district as the
world at large, and himself as the great
genius in whose keeping the worlds
nature rests. He imagines that when be
speaks, nations tremble, mountains totter
and the sea becomes silent.
He imagines that gaping and wonder
ing populace are gazing on him with open
moutbed wonder and ironclad astonish-
ment, and that he holds the world in the
hollow of his hand with grasp that is
perpetual.
But as days and months and years pass
in rapid succession, the young man finds
out that he is possibly mistaken and if be
would wander away and get lost some one
or more Of all the people on the earth
would not miss him. BY and by be be-
gins TO realize that he is only one of the
many millions of people, and instead
of standing forth as the center of
attraction, he only fills small niche of
some obscure corner, and really attracts
but little attention. The ignorant man
who realizes his ignorance and who does
not seek to pass himself off for more than
be is worth, is pardonable, but the self
conceited man who tries to pass himself
off at premium, is to be pitied. The best
way is to hold ones self-esteem down and
not rate himself too high. The man
who climbs the highest has the farthest
to fall.
It is more pleasant to be invited to take |
a higher seat than to be deprived of il.
II Is more pleasant to be king Of a cot.
tage than the servant Of a palace. It is
better to be a good five cent piece than a
bogus quarter; in other words, it is better
to hold ourselves at what we are honestly
worth. The world is full of people who
never learn anything because they think
they know enough to begin with. Thous-
ands are teaching when they ought to be
taught; thousands believe themselves
wise when their ignorance is lamentable:
thousands believe themselves clothed in
gold when they are only thinIy plated
and &he copper shows through in many
pla Is. The wisest are comparatively TO-
norant and thousands of men who have
grand ideas Of their own abilities will
