LET'S GET RESULTS OUT OF
THE NEW SUBSTATION.

The substation for suburban traffic
over the lines of the Southern railroads
Is to be located near the eastern end of
Long Bridge. Justice Barnard's de-
cision of yesterday makes this almost
certain
No use to kick over it. The court
knows the law and the courts construc-
tion of the circumstances is the law.
If the Commissioners had decided as
well at the outset as they did at the
bacEset there would have been no need
for such decision. But they did not.
Now the thing to do is to make the
substation of as much practical good as
possible. The street car service to the
station should be improved by the time
the first train stops at this station.
Not q year afterward, or a month, or a
day, but by the time the first train
stops. Much can be accomplished by
running extra cars. That can be done
without any elaborate planning or new
construction or anything else The

the result of this editorial, or because
the District Electric Railway Commits
sion is on the watch, or for any other
special reason, simply because the pres
ent management of the Washington
Railway and Electric Company seems
to be on the job, to put tersely its re-
cent fulfllment of good business judg-
ment.
Then should come planning see
If cars should be lOoped at the station;
to lay tracks If that should be neces-
sary; to extend and simplify the trans
fer arrangements; briefly, to do those
things which will give users of this
mislocated station the greatest possible
convenience. That, again, Is the
prompting of good business Judgment
This paper believes it will be fulfilled
But it will watch the operation with

A NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. OF NAT
URAL RESOURCES.

It is rather calculated to take away
ones breath, this calm suggestion that
the nations and the educational institu-
tions of the world unite in making a
census, an appraisal, of the natural
wealth of the continents and the islands
of the sea Why not of the oceans and
the air as wellY Without doubt the time
will come when we will draw an in
creasing share of the sustenance of the
race from the sea- And it has long
been most interesting speculation as
to the limits of the worlds nitrogen
supply, and the possibilities of restora-
ton Of il from some now unknown
source.
Yet there is no reason why the gen.
eral scheme of sppraising the worlds
wealth should not be feasible and use
full. Not a very serious scratch has yet
been made on the surface of natures
bounty. The oldest continent sustains
some two-thirds of the population of
the world, and most of its area is
either virgin OF unexplored by white
men. 1t is not, by any means ex-
hausted
Such projects serve the useful social
purpose of reducing the world more and
more TO the limits of a neighbOrhoOd,
the relations of vast family. Africa
and South America, Canada, the unde-
veloped regions Of Asia and the United
States. of Australia and the great
Australasian Pseudo-continent OF
islands-au these constitute in a gen
eral way the worlds reserve of wealth.
Macaulay pictured some New Zealsnder
OF the future wondering as he surveyed
the ruins of London Bridge. If he
does, it will be because Europe IN its
turn, like Chaldea and other once
wealthy areas, will have exhausted its
productivity and population will have
been moved to other places where
wealth could be produced.
1t would be well for the world to
know what it has. 1t isn't very large
world. and !. could be stalled off and
surveyed In a decade, if the scientists
and the governments would cooperate
to do the task. II it Is good for each
country. in its own area, to study its
resources, why not vastly bettar TO
have all the great unknown egions
studied and classified and liste- and
appraised? Mankind has neec5 year by
year, to draw on its resoDrcSsJ 1t

WHAT IMAGINATION! TROUS.
SEAU IN a TIN CAN!

A trousseau in a tin can! Gentle
reader, why not7 Think
Here is Dominica Petruccio, passen-
ger from Italy on the Koenigin Luise.
His trunk is opened and there appear
several tin cases, like the most unro-
mantle of chart holders. A rough can
opener is called into service.
When the end of one tin box is
opened is there spaghetti inside? Not
at all. tt is an antique garment of red
silk and lace. Petruccio lifts the edge
of it tenderly to his lips. It Is the
wedding gown of his mother May she
rest in peacel
The other cases are opened also. In
this one are faded slippers. In this, the
news account tells us, are various ar
ticles Of feminine attire" The Gus
toms Service has no poetry in its soul.
1t sppraises the outfit as worth $3.50
as though money could ever represent
such value. But it redeems itself, does
the Customs Service. Petruccio need
pay no duty
What imagination, what romance. in
the thought of n troUsscau in tin
can! We have all seen trousseaux.
The crusty and the vinegarish among
US have beheld them with melting eyes
in show cases. The rest of us-it
would be a mind empty of sentiment
that would press the rest of us as to
our knowledge.
How asilyfhey might be packed in
cans! The more expensive they are,
the easier it would be- And safe, be-
side. Then, when the best man and the
matron cf honor are busily tying bolts
of white ribbons on trunks and suit
cases, when everything the two
unhappy travellers are to possess on
their first journey together is being
sown with rice, why, then, these tin
cases (as innocent in appearance as a
can of peaches) are reposing slyly out
of harms wayl
Some people might think they saw
through all this. If they did, they
would feel with us that there was
likely to be something mighty poetic
in a troussesu that could be put in
tin can

MASSACHUSETTS ANNUAL
VOTE ON LICENSES.

A number of cities in Massachusetts
voted Tuesday on the question Of
license or o-Hcense-this issue being
submitted to them annually at regular
citv elections-and the outcome was
awaited with great interest. Thirteen
cities out of twenty-one went dry. .
and there were some curious results III
the vote. Fall River, which has been
wet" for sixteen years, voted for no
license. Springfield remained in the
wet column Worcester, where there
was the bitterest fight, remained dry
bv the narrow magin of lS6 in a total
vote of 23.356. No-HceGse gained tive
cities and lost two.
Whatever we may think OF local op-
tion, after noting the excitement and
the bad feeling that are aroused III
many of these cities by the yearly ag-
itation of this question, we may well
agree with the president of Harvard
University when he says:
a 0EElQeC
majority for no-license. or a place
that goes with a decided majority for
license, provided IL be high license
and a few of them, is better off than
town or city that wabbles. some
times for license, sometimes against
it. That is the most unfortunately
placed town or city in Massachusetts
that shifts from one policy to the
other
The press of Worcester and Spring
field and other cities in which the con-
test was thought to be close has zen
filed with the details of the campaign
for several weeks. 1t IS easy to see
that the question stirs the various
communities to their depth. 1t seems
a pity, therefore, that when the issue
is settled it cannot remain settled for
longer time than twelve months. A
city hardly has time to get over one
election before the campaign opens up
again. We should think that this con-
dition would be embarrassing in inter
fering with estimates of the tax rate
and the city's financial arrangements.
The Springfield Republican, which op-
posed no-hcense because it does not be-
lieve it is the proper way to abate the
evils of drunkenness, argues that it is
impossible to eradicate the saloon from
the life of q city unless something is
provided to take its place. Also it
urges those who favor no-lieense to
consider this phase of the question be-
fore, rather than after, no-license has
been forced upon community. 1t asks
this question: would not the money
and energy now devoted to bringing
about temporary local fiat of prohibi-
tion be better employed in establishing
these substitutes for the saloon as com
petitors of the same?"
This is a query which interests many
