Nearly Lost Him.

We're feelin' kind O. lucky, down to Po-
hick on the crick:
We thought that Uncle Jim had learned
the politician trick
And got hisself elected so he'd be COM
PEELED to roam
Amid the halls of greatness, std O. stay
in here at home.
We put him on the ticket, as we've done
in years gone by,
To show our probation of his qualities SO
high.
We knew the opposition chances couldn't
we'll be spoiled;
Uncle Jim could have the honor while
the other Teller toiled.
He's a wonder as speaker; he's a giant
in debate;
His talents have their finest chance when
he's candidate.
An so we nominate him. But. of course,
we never meant
To doom him to an Office, with its silent
discomfort.
But when they counted up the Votes twas
mighty near a tie,
Our voices started tremblin', there was
terror In each eye.
But now we're feelin' better. The returns
are quite complete,
An we're all a-jollifyin' over Uncle Jim's
defeat!

Better Street Car Service.

Far more satisfactory Is the voluntary
agreement of the Brightwood Railway
Company to establish through service
with new pay-as-you-enter" cars than
the compulsion of the company to meet
the requirements of the public by Official
order. While 1t is true that the cor
poration did not act until the interstate
commerce commission stood ready to issue
rule requiring better service, the fact
remains that it has acknowledged the
reasonableness of the demand for through
service. This attitude on the part of the
operating company is to be commended
even though II has for some seasons de-
clined to grant the requests Of its pa
irons for a service which guaranteed pub
lie safety and comfort, and at the same
time Appropriated the standards of rapid
transit
The "pay-as-you-enter' cars have prov
ed a success in other cities. and their in
PRODUCTION here is not to be regarded as
in the light of an experiment. According
to the present plans they will be used on
the Brightwood line of the Washington
Railway and Electric system and on the
Chevy Chase line Of the Capital Traction
system. With these cars running into
the center Of the city under the new ar
rangement OF lines IN conjunction with
the Union station trackage system. they

of the suburbs Immediately served. Judg-
ing from the reports that have been re-
ceived from other places, there can be no
doubt of their success as a means of in
creasing the comfort of passengers and
facilitating the operation of the cars.
The expedient adopted by Congress in
placing the street railway system of the
District under the jurisdiction of the in
terstate commerce commission has thus
far proved successful. Many complaints
have been filed and some have been adj
justed to the satisfaction of the public.
The commission, working through COM
mittee of citizens. is gradually ascertain
ing the merits of each proposition, and it
may not be doubted that as result OF
this work in the course of very few
months the local street railway system
will be placed on a satisfactory basis OF
efficiency and convenience.

Mr.. watterson in the Campaign.

In the political play just ended no actor
was so unfortunately cast as Mr.. Waiter
son. His role was wholly out Of line with
his gifts and his tastes. and subjected
him more than once to the gibes Of the ir-
reverent and the overanxious. Fingy
Corners as much as accused him of be-
ing hamfatter. But as little as he was
suited to the role. Mr.. Watterson. loyal to
the oblig atoms of the profession did his
best in II, and helped along the entertain
ment.
This was his final call of the faithful to
the polls:

golden spoon in his mouth; his hackers

election: and. having bought it. they will
snap their fingers in the workingman' q
face and say. as Tweed said before them.
'Wnatye going to do about it?'
The Taft-Sinton estate of Cincinnati,
amounting TO fifty or sixty millions. made

the speaker. The audience would all have
hung together. Such lam1asting of a pa
trician would have been great larks on
any campaign night, with the blood of
the plain people up and thunder to pay.
But how queer = sounds in the columns
of a leading southern newspaper. edited
by one of the most brilliant of American
journalists. and patrician born and bred
himself. Where is Mr.. Wattersons golden
spoon? He was born with one in his
mouth. Is it quite the thing for one
patrician to be reproaching another with
golden spoon to seek capital out of the color
of the other? Is the old quarrel be-
tween the pot and the kettle to be
eclpsed by this quarrel between golden
spoons? If so. then. indeed. is there a
yellow peril. and far in excess of that

Japan in the world.

the government, good-natured toward
everybody and a believer in America and
her destiny. That role needs no dis

whom he tried so hard to keep out of

That Bryan Tide.

What turned tie September tide: UT,
moro nroperly speaking. was there ever
a tide at any time in the campaign TOT

quarters In all three cases orders were

Nobody remained or had the time to re-
main. long enough in a locality to ascer-
tain it's actual sentiment. The reports
sent in represented but glance at things
Visiting politicians were particularly
helpless These men in filing their APP
pointments fell into the hands of local
committees and heard only one side OF
matters They were hurried to partisan
meetings: they lunched with partisan
friends; they left with shouts they took
to be partisan ringing in their ears. They
thought they saw and heard the flowing
of a great tide.
Southern men visiting the east or west
fell an easy prey Some of them. brought
for the first time into contact with real
politics. were wholly unable to get their
bearings Accustomed only to small gath
erings at home. where there is no dis
cussion and everything goes by force Of
party tag. they saw with delight great
crowds assembled: and they put every
~.
sympathizer. They could figure only
Bryan in all this If the people were not
for Bryan what could have brought them
to the meetings? And SO they reported;
and thus grew the story Of the Bryan
tide.
But until now there had been no repub-
lican campaign. The Taft people had been
getting ready for a general movement all
along the line. Secretly, they were lit
tie pleased with the Bryan hullabaloo.
Mr.. Hanna had taught them the value of
a Bryan scare. He twice used 1t in his
business very successfully. And now they
copied his tactics. Using the Bryan talk
themselves. they appealed to the country
to avert a calamity, and the country re-
sponded.
1t was much, too, that Judge Taft and
Gov. Hughes came to the scratch with
out a tremor or a shuttle. Genuine courage
proved Irresistible. Judge Taft faced the
music on the injunction issue in q way
that everybody applauded. He spoke to
wage-earners without equivocation. say
ing. frankly, that he would do 1t again
and he had a brave mans reward. His
explanation of the record put matters in
another light before them. Equally so,
Gov. Hughes stood to his guns, and called
to all who believed In what he had done
to go to the polls and indorse him.
1t would seem then that the so-called
Bryan tide was a manifestation before
the battle opened. Partly from curiosity,
the crowds. as they had been in 1896 and
1900. were large. and the shouting was
deafening. But when the other side came
into action, and everything got into full
swing. the situation took on another as
pect, and the Taft tide, rising steadily,
swept all before 1t.
