The fastest man in sight is put on the
job Of making stenography keep pace
with Senator Moneys tongue. It is not
an easy job. He is accounted the hard
est man in the Senate to report For
this, there are several reasons. One OF
them is that he talks rapidly. Another
is that he does not enuncia&e as clearly
as. he might. A third reason is that
Money has a vocabulary that reaches
all the way from Sanscrit to Esperanto
and would have made old Noah Webster
conclude his dictionary was sadly
abridged and incomplete. Moreover,
Money uses his vocabulary with ease,
grace, facility, and abandon. and when
he speaks. Is a. apt to employ aIIu-

in the Senate. When taking notes, the

Another rapid talker. who is not easy
to report, is Senator Rayner Of Mary
land, who has a habit Of employing a
liberal vocabulary and sentences of no
parsimonious length. Senator Owen of
Oklahoma Is rapid talker, and so is
his colleague, Gore.
One Of the easiest men in the Soma o
TO report is Senator Hale, who speaEs
with great deliberation and distinct

cent years was IfttlefeId of Maine

In the Mail Bag

Editor Of The Times:
Now that the summer is approaching 2,
I would like to direct attention 10 the
street car service Of the Coru rumbia line.
It is a well-known fact that for some
years past, the citizens of northeast
Washington have been deprived Of the
use of open cars during the summer
months, and compelled TO ride in cars
Of the winter type.
Why are such conditions allowed to
exist? The Columbia line is as well, II
not better, patronized than any other
car line in the city. and I think that
some results might be obtained in this
direction if the matter was taken up
with the District Railway Commission
by the East Washington Citizens As
/ sociation. FRANK. L. SMITH,
1136 Trinidad avenue northeast.
officials Of the Washington Railway
and Electric Company declared today
that no steps toward putting open cars
on the Columbia line, running from
| Fifteenth street and New York avenue
northwest to Fifteenth and Fl streets
northeast, will be taken this summer
we can't afford to do this" said
/ an official today. Coupled with other
| improvements in our rolling stock and
/ the requirements made by the Street
Railway Commission, the expense Of op-
| Grating two sets of cars, one for sum
mer and another for winter, would be
/ too heavy.

/ the lines where we think they are mOst
/ needed For instance, IL seems to me

Root As An Oracle.


The disposition to make Senator Root
the oracle Of the upper chamber is
causing some curious happenings.
Everybody seems to have the idea
that if he can just get TO Root to be
for his proposition, the rest of the
Senate will have to be for it. The wise
ex-Secretary Of State doesn't say much
he is quoted as complaining a good
deal IN private about the way the tar
if bill has been made up, but he doesn't {
do much on the floor that seems -evn-
lutionary. However, he did intim te a
disaffection with the glass schedule, and
that intimation resulted in the sensa-
tiOnal story being sent to the country
that Mr.. Root had become a recalcf-
trant, and that he was going TO take
charge from this time forth and revise
things to suit himself
The Senate always needs an oracle.
Allison used to serve the purpose, and
when ne was gone there was threat
of advertising fOI a successor. The
New York Legislature came along with
Mr.. Root just az time to avoid this
humiliating necessity.
Now they look upon Mr.. Root as the
oracle and of course the New Yorker
has TO pay the penalty Of such distinc-
ton.
Some mean and jealous statesnen
have privately indicated the opinion
that unless Senator Root be careful, he

stuffed prophet Of the upper house.

0ryille Wright has some interest ing things to say in regard to the height attainabls by flying ma chimes, a point ct which there has been some absurd criticism based on the low attitudes to which aeronauts prudently keep for the present. He says that by his calculations his ma chine can ascend to the height of mile and remain in the air 25 hours at speed of from 30 to 40 miles an hour. This would give a distance of from 750 to 1000 miles. The height of mile, certainly, should serve to protect from the guns of an enemy. He does not expect to see freight carried through the air, but within a short time, he believes, the aero- plane will be available for mail serv- ice. There must be many towns in the United States which could be served much more promptly this way than by rail, because the shortest way can be taken. The Wrights will stop in England on their way to Germany, where they have some contracts to complete. They are quite sure, by the way, that none of the European machines are better than theirs
