A GREAT INJUSTICE.

Some days ago the News contained
a news item telling of the discharge
of two thousand life insurance agents
by the New York Life because the leg
islature of New York had seen fit to
limit that company to writing a GER
tain amount of insurance The fool
ish men who made the laws did not
take into consideration that they could
not regulate the insurance of the
United States. and that by their ac-
ton, they would only drive the bust
ness to companies less responsible
than the New York Life and at the
same time would do an injustice to
thousands of people by depriving them
of policy in a company which they
preferred. The following editorial
from the New York Sun is a very
comprehensive view of the situation:
"On the face of it there seems to be
as great an absurdlty in limiting by
law the amount of business which
life insurance company can do as
there would be in limiting by law the
amount of business which might be
done by railroad. 1t has never 90
CURED to the American people to pro
pose or consent to arbitrary restric-
ton of railroad traffic Why should
life insurance company be stopped
from expansion?
No particularly profitable ends will
be served at this time by rehashing
the arguments advanced in 1906 for
the rigid bounds which were set for
the large life insurance companies in
this state in the matter of writing new
policies. There is fresher matter for
the public and its political representa-
tives to consider. A point is raised in

WHEN AUTOMOBILES SELL
FOR $500.

Touring automobiles are 10 be- bought
for 500 in a few years and runabout-
for $3.50. All this according to a writer
in one of the technical magazines.
Wherefore, undergrad clerks and the
like are TO spin down to their work
and the whole problem of rapid transit
for cities like New York, Chicago. Phil
sdclphia, Baltimore, Boston, and Wash
iugtoH viii disappear in the newer
problem of keeping the streets clear OF
pedestrians.
Not quite so fast. good friend. The
automobile is being made today at as
low a price as Is now possible. I'm
proved machinery, further development
of design, the introduction of new ma
terisls viii all lower the existing min
imum. no doubt But they are not
likely to lower the cost of labor and the
outlook is that labor viii continue to
bee the chief item of cost.
Already splendid umabouts are sold
at $500, $3.50, $500. II these prices are
reduced by 800 or $3.50 in the next
two years the limit OF safe c0ustruc-
tion viii probably be reached. As foI
touring cars. much depends upon the
furnishings. II they are TO be fitted as
at present, they viii continue 10 CORE
spoud to carriages of the highest grade,

THE ANNUAL FIRE WASTE OF
THE UNITED STATES.

The figures on the fire waste of 1908
have been made up. and while they con
tain estimates for the last month. they
are approximately exact. They indi-
cate loss OF S23s.OOO.00O for a
twelve month, in which the country did
not suffer any great conGagration. A
Baltimore fire would have made the
years loss mount up TO a figure fairly
comparable with the national debt.
We are worrying ourselves a good deal
nowadays about conserving natural re-
sources. There is a deal of created re-
sources that needs attention too. No
country in the world suffers the fire
waste that the United States does. II
is not the fault of the municipal or
carnations for lighting fire. There are
80 better iu the world than the
American fire departments. Nowhere
Is equipment so good, discipline better,

OUR FIRST NEIGHBOR IN FACT
AS WELL AS NAME.

William II. Taft will be actively and
earnestly a friend to the District of
Columbia while President. He viii
stand against the election of local of
icers by ballot He viii work to i'm
prove housing conditions for the poor.
He viii cooperate for the proper regu-
lation OF local public service corpora
tions. He will help to put ginger into
the local government. He viii use the
power of his office for the further up
building of the Capital into leadership
among the cities.
This is the substance of a dispatch
sent To the Sunday evening issue of
The Times from Mr.. Taft's present
headquarters in Augusta. To MS of
Washington it is the most important
statement which could come from this
source. When it did come, it came
through The Times, through an issue
when no other paper appears at all,
and through that issue of The Times
exclusively.
As Secretary of War. Mr.. Tart served
on several commissions for the location
of statues in the District. He was in
frequent association with the members
of the Park Commission. He followed
approviugIy the excellent redecoration
of the White House with close interest
He has known of the work of the local
committees for the uplifting of our
alley population. He is informed as to
the needs of the schools and as the
father of boy students i'm those schools
has been ready and viii be ready to
help them obtain proper equipment.
Here are indica tions of the direction of
the new Presidents active interest.
The District has prospered more than
it realizes, probably through the
friendship Of the present occupant OF
the White House. The President. pow
erful in everything, has special oppor-
tunity 70 serve the National Capital.
Theodore Roosevelt has undertaken TO
use all this opportunity wisely and az
gressiyely. When District appropria-
tions We're threatened. when unwise leg
islation impended with every prospect
of being made law, when new laws
promised TO be crowded out despite
pressing need. he summoned members of
the Congressional committees to the
White House. stated the situation as
be saw it, spoke as a citizen of the Dis
trict earnestly concerned for its vel
ware, and oftener than many of MS
know supplied the last ounce of pres
sure needed to work good instead of
or ill.,
Mr.. Taft assures us the same kind of
friendship, still further to carry the
best plans for the advancement of the
American Capital. That he would be
assertiyeIy a good neighbor was TO be
expected. But 1T could never
be so securely known as when he him
self authorized an announcement of IT..
This was done through the news col
mns Of this paper yesterday. and now
we know, and do not anticipate merely.
that our First Citizen after March 4
will be 30 in fact RS well as name.

FOURTEEN REASONS POR A
BULLSEYE SUCCESS.

Getting the news while it was news
amounted to something yesterday aft
ernoon. 1t meant knowing that
.President-elect Taft means TO
give sharp impetus to the development
of the Capital and is opposed TO extend
ing the right of suffrage to citizens of
the District.
Ambassador Griscom, IN "a dis
patch received at the State Depart
ment at 1880 a. m. outlines the exist
ing situation in stricken Southern Italy
and draws on American sympatbizers
for $4,000.

lima, the King and Queen announce
their purpose to leave the stricken dis
trict for Rome, and a censorship is es-
tsblished on gruesome stories Of the
suffering,
"A gang of colored boy thieves
plot murder in Washington, are
rounded up by the local police, and
confessions are obtained from two of
the number which leave no doubt of
their evil purposes.

Carbon mouoNide overcomes an

9-King Edward IS reported as suffer

lo-Union City, Tenn, is put under

sufferers.
PA sculptor is to build a handsome
studio in the District.
l3-The American baJtIeship feet ar
rives at Suez.
IA graft scandal is reported from
Minneapolis.
The list might be extended But
this is enough. 1t is all the news Of i'm
poTtance which appears in the papers
of Monday morning, fifteen hours later.
II is a total of news which no sane
American, alive to the progress Of his
own time, would miss on any other day
of the week. It is a total which 1000
buyers more than the Sunday afternoon
preceding were determined not to miss
yesterday.
From the first issue Of The Times on
Sunday afternoon the seven-day even
ing newspaper has been a success. a
popular and financial success. distinct.
unqualified and unmistakable as the
success of the same paper on week
days. Ia news published, in steady pat
ronage by local newspaper buyers, in
advertising carried and in returns to
advertisers. the Sunday evening issue
of the seyen-day Washington Times is
a bullseye.

And the result That our fire loss
for 1905 amounts to onc-fouTth the
