A LETTER FROM
PRESIDENT WOOD
HE TELLS WHAT HAS BEEN DONE
BY BOARD OF HEALTH TO
PREVENT MOSQUITOES.
Editor Daily News :

Editor Daily News:
The editorial OF your issue OF 30lh
Begin in Time including a cE..
ping from jacksonville Times Union
F., brings me to say that the suggestion
about mosquitoes has NOT been over
looked by u.s. And if you will allow
me will say that it has been the con
tenticn OF the health officials here
that the proper time to provide against
the possibilities OF disease was in the
cool months OF The year. not leaving
till the late spring or summer an ac-
cumlation of filth which might ieopar-
die the health Of every enc.
Following out this line in the past
year after careful study and expert
ments II was believed that the ploper
time TO fight the mosquito pest was in
the winter months. regardless of a
sentiment that cold weather. especial :
" freeze. was ample safeguard that
moi only would they all be killed out
but germs OF all kind as we'll Moth
ing is more a fallacy.
II is not often that theory results
in absolute fulfillment. but il is an
unassailable fact that since about the
middle Of November last an inspection
made Systematically has shown tha:
the mosquito larvae is more In evl-
dence both in numbers and activity,
than in the summer and while it i
true that in very cold water, there is 81
retarding Of growth even in some in
stances to three times the usual
length of time, yet it is more the
less true that warm spring like dds
will develop and put into activity the
liveliest and most irritating of the
pests
| And that is not all which has hoaD
verified BY the close watch which has
been kept; 1t has shown conclusiyelr
| that from salt or braclish water W.
have been yearly getting our larg IS.

that Kerosene was either the best O

authorities to use and as it stands t.
day puts up to health boards as neve

Still, his reputation as an author Is eN-

the number of authors with the total

CONGRESSIONAL DIGNITY
FAILS CIVIL SERVICE.

Nj. Curtis. Let me ask the senator
II ne believes there lis a senator on
this floor who would ask department
TO hold an incompetent clerk.
Mr.. Lodge. ] am afraid, MT Flesi-
dent, since the Senator asks me lhat
question, that we have all of us IN
both Houses done il a great many
times.
There Is "a fair revelation OF the IN
fuence which has continued spokesman
ship in the Census Bureau after 1t has
fairly passed from other branches Of the
departmental service. In this day and
hour. when Congress is so nightly oc-
cupied with protecting its dignity, bet
ter things We're hoped. But Mr.. Lodge,
maker of this frank admission, was
able to muster only ID yeas against -
nays for his amendment to make flu
ture appointments to the Census Blu
reau according 10 the business-like pre-
caution of Civil Service examinations.
The work of arousing public opinion
in behalf of no-work-no-pay in the Gov
eminent service Is not finished by a
whole lot.

LIMITATIONS OF THE AERO
PLANE EXPERTLY STATED.

I'm the opinion of one of the most eel
ebrated air-sailors of the present day.
the aeroplane, which he regards as the
most practicable vehicle used for flights
through the air, viii never do much of
a passenger business. If this Is true of
the aeroplane as a common carrier,
how much more true must it be when
taken in connection with these military
'invasions" about which so much has
been writteng Anyhow, this is what
Orvile Wright said JUS before he
sailed for Europe this week to Join his
brother Wilbur:
I believe our machine is the best
means of navigating the air. The
aerOpIane viii fly faster, is cheaper TO
run and easier 20 handle than any
other machine. The aiTShiD viii have
it's uses, but viii never be as practica-
BILE as the aeTOplane-
do not think that air machines
viii ever take the place or trains and
boats as passenge carriers. Our pres
eut machines. of course, are not built
to carry more than four or five per
sons, but when the demand comes we
viii build machines that viii carry a
great many more. I would not begin
TO predict what the passenger limit Or
the aerOplaue viii be, but / believe &c
will eventually be used in special pas
seuger service, to transport a small
number OF passengers from point 20

The English-eveu more so than the
French-have been expressing alarm
over the prospect of an aerial invasion
by the enemy" According to one es-
innate that has served to excite the
London fire-eetcrs, an invading army OF
100000 men could be borne across the
Channel during tine night. 1T sounds
terribly practical 10 the laymau. in view
of the successes made by the Wrights
but Orviue Wright now wakes the
dreamers mp rather rudely. Practicable
as the aeroplane is. its use is appar
emily very limited And this authorize
tive view is matched boy the opinion OF
fercd bv a foreign scientist who show
that even Do it were possible for all the
aeropIaues that would be required ID

servatiye. They are eminently sensible

THE FEUD BETWEEN PRESi-
DENT AND CONGRESS.

10 is perfectly apparent that the ieud
between President and Congress viii
not get anywhere. Congress can't pun
ish the President short of impesching
and irving him. and the EXTREMIST I'M
aginings Of his worst enemies have not
seriously contemplated that. 1t would
be a procedure ridiculous beyond de-
scription.
The truth is that the country-the
thinking and serious part of the coum-
trv-is tired of the feud. Congress can
gain nothing by it. Public opinion,
rightly or wrongly, blind or seeing, sane
or senseIess. Is with the President. Con
eress has lost in the respect and con-
sideration of the public as the Executive
has gained The impression has got
fixed that Congress at best Is an I'm
vieldv body which requires so long to
turn around that it can't keep up with
the country's demands for legislative
performance.
Instead of getting down to business
and trying to disprove this grave and
underlying charge, Congress is putting
I'm its time finding fault with an Execu-
tive who. whatever else may be said Of
him. Is not subject 70 the criticism OF
incompetence to perform He can do
things. He can get results, and he does
IL. It Is a poor reply which Congress
makes to the country's criticism Of its
own inactiou, when it turns about and
attacks the President for doing too
many things and interfering with its
peace and quiet
1t Is plain enough that the short
session win be barren of result. 1t will
be remembered for an unseemly and
bootless series OF determinations be-
tween the White House and the Capt.
tol. Not a precedent, not "a new con
struction of statute or Constitution
worth the snap of a finger. will result
But the time which might have been
given TO business viii have been wasted

tionalIy ignoring the recommendations
Of the President because it wants 10

year, the District must obtain
Cheaper gas.
Safer gas.

government.

Money for Fairgrounds.
Dozens of other things are needed
and could be obtained if Congress ran
the District as business men run their
business. But these can't be waited
for. If they are to be- had, all our Peo-
pie and organizations in general, but
the Board of Trade and Chamber of
Commerce in particular, must hustle.

NEW VIEWS ONAUTHORS AND
LITERARY CENTERS.

Whether .Hr title of author has
fallen from its high repute- whether
the literary center Of the country is
changing company with the geo
graphica these are questions as

are forced TO believe that they are stu
objects of popular interest. Ior we have
been reading a statement made by 40
less an authority than ID ~wcII-kuouu

veIl-known bookmen an there are
smiths or >ulli.aus. Let that pass.
His report, not his name, is the mo-
meutous matter. and thus Doe pays his
respects to a distinguished and long rs-
tablished American institution.
