Seeks Reelection Through Water Wagon

But AchCsOn is busy on the water
wagon. In rapid succession he has
introduced bills prohibiting the send.
ing OF publications through the mails
when they contain liquor advertise
ments, and taxing beer at the rate of
one dollar per barrel. He figurcs out
that the waterways improvements OF
the country should cost S50,000000 a
year He has also figured out that the
brewers produce 52,000,000 barrels OF
beer year. If his bill is enacted into
law he will secure from beer an an
nual income OF So 100000.
Rut Mr.. Acheson has done more
with the water wagon. He has gal.
loped it through his district in great
shape, leaving behind him decara-
tions for local option. He wants local
option. Mr.. Tener. the grand exalted
ruler Of the Elks, has not yet come
out for local option. What will Mi
Tener do? Mr.. Acheson is laughing
and working the water wagon over.
time.
All of which shows that Mr.. Ache
son is a politician of purest ray Sc.
rene. He has been in congress many,
many years. He is the only man the
Quay crowd could not defeat for con.
gress. He believes the Penrose crowd
cannot defeat him.
He regards the water wagon as a
fine political Juggcrnaut, especially
when Mr.. Tener is his opponent for
the nomination.

Station Tracks VS.. Transfers.

To the Editor Of The Star:
The situation SO pathetically described
before Congress by Representative Sims,
during a recent discussion regarding
Washington street railway matters, of a
woman standing in car while carrying
child on her arm. recalls to my mind
incidents which happen every day between
the car lines and the station, and which
have happened every day SINCE Its open
ing and probably will occur for years to
come unless Congress soon comes to terms
with itself. These scenes are far more
pathetic than the one alluded to by Mr..
Sims. but cannot unfortunately be
ascribed to the irresponsible acts of the
corporations. but to the responsibility of
Congress The incidents referred to are
by any one going to or from the new
station. They concern men and frail
women. women with children on their
arms. with others hanging to their skirts,
carrying heavy grips and bags. while
walking from the street cars to the sta
ton. Those who are able to pay can, Of
course. hire a carrier from the cars to the
station and a porter within to take their
luggage to the railway coaches and be
thus relieved. at least, of the burden, If
not of the walk. That this state OF az
fairs Is due to the clubbing over a uues-
ton like universal transfers is. to say
the least, pitifuI. This Is especially true
when it becomes known how few would
be benefited by universal transf ers. while
a still lesser number really demand it. to
say nothing Of the injustice Of the promo
sition. Still several of the members in Con-
gress seem to insist upon this law to be
passed. Thousands Of people now pay heavy
tips and cab hire. while many times that
number endure hardshfps to get to and
from the Union station because a few
gentlemen In Congress have chosen to
fight the reasonable demand Of the masses

able privilege of the few-the universal
