ST. PAUL, MINI, Oct. is-James ]. Hill
today denied that the Great Northern rail-
way was trying to enter Hartman territory
in California by extending the Oukabn
Trunk line to San francisco He also -
MED that during his visit in New YORK
there had been a conference of railhSad
magnates attended by himself and J. p.
Morgan and by Hartman and Hawley
representatives.
my visit was connected only with busI-
ness relating to our own companies. "An
saw OF Mr.. Morgan was a short personal
call" said Mr.. Hill, "and we did not dis
cuss Mr.. Hawleys plans at any time Mr.
Hawley is an energetic railroad organizer
and II he desires to connect several of his
roads into one system, cannot see why 1
should object or approve"
The stories published along the Pacific
coast to the effect that the Oregon Trunk
line proposed to build into San Francisco
were emphatically denied by Mr.. Hill. AN
the building which that line will do will
be done in Oregon" said he. There is
plenty of room for new feeders in that
state and the mileage which we expect to
add to the system win be confined to that
state. We have no intention Of entering

the painful duty of critic to tell an au-

of judge to mingle with the dreadful

mittees under the sacred right of pc
Outspoken on Two Points.

On two points Mr.. Davis was OutSpoken.
One of these was the extension of the
eligibility of Commissioners and the other
was the franchise question. No COM
munity of Americans, he declared, would
submit to having their affairs run by
a "carpet-bagg gger.'' AS for franchise for
the District, he declared that to be a
myth.
"Unless you are willing to conf1ne your
selves to the highly dignifed right to
vote for dog taxes and things of that
sort you might as well stop dreaming
about this franchise question" Mr. Davis
added. 1.-The Constitution of the United
States effectually bars your way. AS Tor
representation by petition, that is re-
pulsive to every Anglo-Saxon. 1t will be
recalled that that privilege was granted
Americans by that monarch OF salnted
memory. George III of England. The ef-
fecss of it are described, to some extent,
in that neglected but able document, the
Declaration of independence.
But l do think that we should have
some representation in Congress The
talk of a delegate on the floor of the
House or the Senate is rid culous. But
many Of us know how ineffective have
been our efforts to accomplish anything
before the commi tees of Congress. for
after we have appeared before them and
made our best arguments and come away
til mixing we created a good impression
our efforts are all wiped out a night or
SO later by the terrapin and champagne
furnished the committee members at the
dinner table of our skillful opponent
Way Out Of the Difficulty.
'"To my mind, the best and most FEAST
BILE way out Of this difficulty is for Con-
gress to permit the members Of the board
of District Commissioners to appear on
the floors of the Senate and House when
District affairs are being discussed. They
could give the viewpoint of the people
Of the District and place District matters
n the proper light"
In conclusion, Mr.. Davis repeated what
he said in the early part of his speech,

Suggests Governor.
My second recommendation is the SUBJ
stitution of single executive for three,
such executive to be known as the Gov
ernor of the District of Columbia and to
receive a salary of not less than $4,000.
Under the present system, l under
stand it. the three Commissioners, while
in theory equally responsible for the en-
tire government Of the District. in prac-
tice partially divide direct responsibility
in their conduct of the various depart
ments or bureaus, but they decide col
lectlvely all important questions of gen.
eral policy.
This system has two fundamental de-
fects. Authority is divided and action
is thereby inevitably delayed. RESPONSE
bility is divided, hence accountability is
uncertain. Such division of executive au-
thority is opposed to the first canon of
business efficiency. Division of RESPONSE
bility Is equally contrary to the principle
of the definite accounta Dility of public
officials.
mo other complaint was SO frequently
made to me by citizens of the District
as that Of their difficulty in locating off,
cial authority and responsibility in respect
to specific action, and / should hasten to
add that the criticism was rarely of the
Commissioners individually, but of the
system. Such situation is, / submit
highly unsatisfactory. 1t should not be
possible to evade responsibility. 1t should
not be necessary to deny it. Official au-

EVENING CHAT
BY RUTH CAMERON

Five girls in my personal acquaint-
ance have been married during the
past month. And as that probably
means at least five thousand in my
newspaper acquaintance l am going
to make today's Chit-Chat just a little
talk to all those girls who have passed
through the portals of marriage and
are Just entering upon one of the
hardest years of their lives.
"Hardest?' hear those 5000
brides echo Indignantly. You mean
happiest-"
Yes, perhaps I do mean happiest,
too, but 1 also mean hardest
And l think I'll add most impor-
tant.
For this is the year of adjustments
and according as you-and the man
manage its adjustments, meet its
crises, fulfill its obligations and solve
its difficulties you lay the foundation
for a happy or unhappy married life.
All of US know that the brother
and sister who have been brought up
in the same house, with more or less
the same habits, the same tastes. the
same way of looking at things the
same intimate little family customs
quite frequently have difficulty ia get
ting along together.
Is it any wonder then that two peo-
pie who have been brought up with
totally different tastes and customs
and habits and ways of looking at
things. when they come to share a
daily existence should occasionally
find points on which they differ?
1t isn't any wonder at all. 1t is
simply inevitable.
And the only way to evolve out of

such a situation a happiness that will
not mean the complete submergence
Of one or the other personality is
simply for each to make up his mind
that he is going to try to put himself
in the others place when any debate
comes up.
He ought to be enough in sym
moods 1 heard a woman say once
complaining that her husband was
frequently melancholy when she
wanted to be gay, and light-hearted
when she felt serious
Apparently it never occurred to that
woman that her husband might think
she ought to be enough in sympathy
with him to fall in with his moods.
You often hear young brides say,
1T isn't that 1 mind Tom, Dick or
Harry's doing that thing so much. It's
simply that I'm hurt to think he
should persist in doing it when he
knows I don't like to have him. 1t
doesn't seem to me that he can love
me as he used to- sA
ladies that perhaps Tom, Dick or
Harry is saying, TT isn't that / care
SO much about doing that thing. What
I mind is having my wife persist in
objecting to it when she thinks that
I want to do it. It doesn't seem as
if. she could care very much for me
when she opposes my. wishes like
that"
Did you ever hear what George
Eliot said about friendship
1.-The only way to hav. a friend is
to be one."
I think it's quite the same way
about happy. marriages

partner is to be one
