last week to the exclusion Of pretty near
ly everything else. An incident Of the
week that would normally have excited
great attention and would In all proba
bility have caused general advance in
railroad shares was the publication OF
the annual report of the Union Pacific
Company. showing that the company had
earned for the last fiscal year nearly 10
per oe2t upon its common stock, and
stands. by reason Of its liquidation of
certain security holdings. in the possess
sion Of nearly 100000 ready cash, as
compared with heavy floating debt OF a
year ago.
So, too, It is universally believed that
the statement of the United States Steel
Corporation for the September quarter,
due to be published tomorrow, will make
an exhibit OF in the neighborhod Of &c.,
COO 900 OF net earnings. with an increase OF
untitled orders on hand OF nearly 100000
tons. and that a quarterly dividend upon
United States Steel common stock will
be declared an an annual rate Of 4 per
cent But these anticipations. the con-
tinued evidences of the immense and rec
ord breaking business now going forward
in the iron and steel trade and a multi
tude of indications of a prosperous cusi-
ness In every part Of the country were re-
garded in Wall street apparently as some
thing Of an old story. II is needless to
say that this way of looking at the mat
ter, or rather OF not looking at it, will
not be permanent.

Already thousands OF citizens, in add

But there are secluded beauties OF the

reach Of the nature-loWng public. A

concerned. Recognizing the fact that its
possibilities are exceedingly far from
having been exhausted, and IN view OF
the benefits Of such a park, both as re-
spects the general health OF the COM

less far-reaching influence upon the citi-

Lights on Vehicles.

lesson it may teach us as 1t was deplor-

Our city fathers have forbidden glaring
lights on automobiles while permitting
them on street cars. yet require no lights
whatever on private carriages. Every
one who has ridden or driven after dark

Street Car Smoking.

Editor The Washington Herald:
Smoking in street cars is equally often
sive. whether It comes from the rear
seats Of a car, according 10 regulations.
or the front seat. or the side seats. or
the smokers mouth as he passes through
the car with lighted cigar emitting its
curl of smoke in forbidden places.
The offensive fumes permeate every
square inch Of air In the car. and every
one is compelled to breathe II, or leave
the car.
On a Fourteenth street car the other
day a drunken man was smoking a cigar
at his own discretion, and the disgust
Of the passengers as well
Although the smoker sat by an open
window in the center OF the car, he was
not molested.
The -yOu-enter cars are supposed
to be immune from the annoyance of
smokers. but this rule is violated every
day. to the disgust Of travellers.
A man who cannot ride in a street car
without smoking should be compelled to
walk
He might with equal propriety smoke
In church. or at the dinner table, or. "a
Ia cannon, everywhere
All cartoons Of late are not considered
complete without the cigar or cigarette.
thus giving free lessons 10 boys for fu-
ture car smokers.
The boy learns TO initiate his elders in
the daily lessons on the streets and in the
street cars as seemingly the proper thing
20 do. and with the same indifference TO
the rights of others. 10 whom tobacco
smoke is rank poison.
The smokers on the rear platforms OF
street cars, with the open door for a
ventilator. which carries the smoke into
and through the car, might just as well
be inside the car. so far as immunity
from smoke to the passenger is con-
Cerned.
Smoking is a habit. like drinking. and
they both go together so far that we
might wager with safety that all drinkers
are smokers. yet all smokers are not
drinkers by any means.
Smoking IS one OF the bad habits OF
life. the propriety OF which Is honOred
more I'm the observance than in the
breach Of fashionable etiquette.
With boys smoking is one OF the stolen
evils. as we may witness as they congre-
gate in obscure places. where the supply
Of cigarettes and cigar stubs are distrib-
uted and smoked as one Of the apparent
essentials Of the passing education Of
boyhood life.
The heads Of the family are responsible
for the street car smokers, who have be-
come adopts by associations. largely
found outside Of the home. where the most
profigate receive highest honors
The heads Of the family who shirk the
responsibility Of salutary lessons at the
home fireside must expect the ugly scars
that appear In the record OF the average
after-dark street associations, which
smack Of everything found outside the
cultured home.
The free tuition coming from the casual
smoker on the street car is as much a
matter Of fact 10 the boy as though Il
was doled out TO him In the school room,
on the boundaries of states. or the search
for the north pole.
His self-inlicted Generalization and Of

Editor Tho Washington Herald:
In reference 10 the proposed improve
ment Of the approaches to Rock Creek
Park. l would like to say a word in the
interest Of the great horseless and motor
less public. When the means Of access
10 the park have been made easy. it is
