IT. Newcomb, president of the Bethesda
Citizens Association, acting for that organ
transportation facilities on the Rockville and
Georgetown electric line. 1t is expected
that a movement is afoot to secure an
amendment to the Union Station tracksge
bill which will authorize the street railway
companies, operating cars beyond tho limits
of the District of Columbia, to designate GER
tain cars upon which two fares must be paid
by all persons taking them-the first for
passage in the District and the second for
the first fare after the car leaves the District.
The object of the proposed amendment is to
enable the railroads to overcome the present
congestion of suburban travel, II being i'm
possible under existing conditions to pre-.
vent passengers for points within the Dis
trict from crowding the cars on which pas
sengers living beyond must travel.

DruminOnd Items.

The regular monthly meeting Of the
Drummond Citizens Association was held
onday night at the residence Of Lieutenant
Commander Chase, U. s. N lat Drummond,
with full attendance.
A committee was appointed to appear be-
fore the County Commissioners next Tuesday
to protest against the manner In which the
Rockville and GEORGETOWN turnpike between
Drummond and the District line is being
repaired. Complaint is made that the placing
of rough stone on the road without binder
or top dressing makes the highway prac-
ticably impossible TO teams and automobiles.
Heavily loaded wagons bound from the
county to Washington are frequently stalled
on the hill just south of Somerset, where the
stone has been laid.
A committee was appointed TO proceed ut
once with the building Of board walk par
allel to the electric line from Drummond 70
the West Chevy Chase station. The walk
will probably be ready for use within thirty
days and will be 300 yards long.
After the transaction OF much routine busi-
ness the association adjourned to meet June
9Th at the residence Of Mr.. Francis Wallace.
W. W. Russell, the American Minister TO
Venezuela, sailed Sunday on the steamship
Caracas for the United States, where he will
spend his vacation of two months. He arriv-
| ed at Willemstad from Puerto Cabello, Vene.
zuela, sailing from that port Saturday after
a visit to the United States gunboat Paducah.
| His departure from Puerto Cabello was sig
nalized with salute OF IS guns. That there
is tension in the diplomatic relations between
the United States and Venezuela was shown
| by the fact that none OF the Venezuelan
officials was on hand to bid Mr.. Russell
good.by.

An echo of the automobile troubles in

Van b. Canada's Body Found
The body of Van b. Canada, the missing
Glen Echo postmaster, was found last Sat-
urday floating in the Potomac near Glymont,
Md. 1t was brought to Washington on
Sunday. Mr.. Canada disappeared from his
home, in Glen Echo, on March LIST.
The circular sent the Washington police
by Mayor John A. Garrett, which offered
$50 reward for the recovery Of the body,
says that Mr.. Canada left his home at 7
o'clock in the morning and was last seen
near the Chain bridge. "From circum-
stances surrounding his disappearance it is
surmised that he leaped into the river at
Chain BRIDGE" says the communication.
Following a rise of eight feet In the waters
Of the river from last weeks rains, three
bodies have been seen floating in the Poto-
mac
Captain Lindsey, while out in boat,
discovered one of the bodies. He towed 1t
ashore, and when the clothes were examined
papers bearing the name "B. Canada" were
found in the pockets.
1t Is thought that the body, held in the
rocks which dot the river below Cham
bridge, was swept clear of distractions by
the high water and hoated to the lower
river nearly 80 miles below the spot where
Mr.. Canada is believed to have met his
death.
The funeral Of Mr.. Canada was held last
Monday evening in the chapel OF George W.
Wise, in Georgetown. The body was taken
TO Culpeper, Va, for burial.

held its April meeting at Brighton on the
30th.
w. State Master Patterson reported good
progress in the growth of the Order this
quarter. Two oranges have been organized
In Carroll county, one in Frederick and five

everywhere.
Postmaster General Myers plan OF postal
progress was discussed and endorsed. This
includes the universal parcels post, the rural
route package deliveries, and postal savings
banks.
The National Grange will meet in Wash
ington November 10th, and 1t is fine oppor-
tunity for this section to get in touch with
that important body and its personnel.
State Forester Besey gave most inter-
esting address on the EARN Wood Lot"
Burning out under growth is almost crimi.
nal and pasturing nearly as disastrous. Cut
out mature and declining trees and give the
young ones chance to develop. Also clear
out red naples, gums, ETC., so walnuts, oaks,
etc.. can get light. He will personally ex-
anime and advise with farmers on thinning,
and also planting out.

MANY ' DEMOCRATS
ARE FOR JUDGE TAFT
Large Number Of Them All.
Over Country Are Support !
\ ing Him for President.

That Taft and Sherman will have
the votes of a very large number OF
Democrats on November Sd is not re-
markable; It would be remarkable IL
the Democracy, including in It's ranks
many who are eminent in business, in
the professions and In various
branches Of industry, were united be-
hind Bryan, who represents plat
form which aims to cripple business
and industry, and to paralyze every
form Of legitimate enterprise. Bryan's
past has been followed and studied
by thoughtful, intelligent and con-
sentative members OF the party to
which he claims to belong, and the
result Is not favorable to Bryan. In
the view of many Democrats he has
grown worse instead of better, and
his free silver folly Of twelve years
ago has not been improved upon by
his free trade, bank guarantee and
fifty per cent. business Limitation
vagaries Of more recent date. Bryan
Is not exactly like the person in the
Scripture who got rid OF one evil
spirit only to let seven more take its
place. He has a warm corner yet for
the first devil. besides the later ar
rivals, and there is no telling what
new schemes for turning things top
sy-turyy are being conjured in his
volatile brain.
No wonder. therefore. that many
sane Democrats are for Taft. All OF
them do not speak their feelings;
most of them, probably, are silent.
except when circumstances make 1t
imperative that they should speak.
For instance, Ferdinand Strauss, of
Boston, and Charles S. Davis, OF
Plymouth, Mass. were SO quiet about
their intentions to vote for Taft that
they were named as Presidential
electors on the Bryan ticket. Then
they spoke out and said they were for
Taft, and their places on the Bryan
ticket had to be filled by others.
Messrs. LAWS and Strauss doubtless
typified very numerous class OF
Massachusetts, Democrats who prefer
the Republican candidates.. policies
and principles to witch's caldron Of
Organism.

A Democratic False Hope.

An alleged dispatch in the local
Democratic newspaper Saturday head
ed. Washington Eyes Turned on
Harrison County" was doubtless
manufactured in the local Democratic
fake factory. and turned out by that
monstrosity in newspaperdom for the
sole purpose of decreasing the Re-
publican vote in Harrison county
rather than to impart news.
In the first place 1t is mere bosh
to state that the City of Washington
is looking this way. The assertion
is ventured by the Telegram that
Washington has not even thought oil
Harrison county in this campaign as
this county is a mere drop In the
bucket, one may say. in the great
political sea.
The design OF the alleged spec.
ial." however. is what amuses

home and live together In peace and
unity. The woman had caused her
husband to be thrown into jail to be
heard upon the charge of assaulting
and beating her at their home at
Pinnickinnick and Mike was brought
before the magistrate for the hear
ing. Reconciliation was effected be-

Halloween |.
Will Be Held Here in a Few
Days and Nature Pre-

Only few more days now until
Hallowe'en-till all the fairies will
walk the earth for a night importing
information to the believers who full
fill the conditions which the spirits
set a price for their services. Ma
lures store of All Saints Day reuui-
sites Is complete-the crisp brown
chestnuts have already been pushed
from their burrs by the early frosts,
the rosy checked apples are garnered
and laid away, and the great golden
pumpkins which promise awe-inspir-
ing jack-o-lanterns to alright the
non-beiievers, are swelling to enor-
nous sizes on their vines. Even
the weather is in accord with the
coming festival, the chilly twang of
the evening air invites you to sit be-
fore an open fire place and watch the
roaring flames as tney leap upward,
to snatch at the bursting nuts in the
crate and to ruefully suck your
fingers when a Maynard tongue Of
fire finds them. And when the mys-
tic night is ON the kids will throw
things at their neighbors' doors, the
older kids will decorate somewhere
or other with shocks OF corn, grim
ming lanterns and strings OF snowy
popcorn, and the still older kids will
smile, and possibly wish them
selves little less aged and dignifed.
