company's physical properties next
year is $4,000, 0OO>instead of $IO,O00,-
600, will the value OF the franchise be
rated as one-third greater, or put in
at 100000 instead of 100000 when
the officers of the company decide on
what total valuation they are entitled
to pay dividends and interest? Most
certainly the franchise value Will be
reckoned as more; just how much more
nobody knows.
Fortunately for the consumers of gas
in Washington, Congress will probably
have something to say on this subject
in the near future. The controlling
influences among the stockholders may
be able to carry through their scheme
for the refunding of the certificates of
indebtedness while Congress isn't look
ing, and they may be able to start
their new dividend-paying plan, but as
the latter will be subject to regulation
at any moment, it's pretty safe to pre-
dict that it will be made the subject
of an early Congressional investigation
if an attempt is made to carry it out.

HOBBLE SKIRTS AND PAY.
CARS.

The Times has received a most in
teresting letter. In fact, it IS more
than interesting; it is of stupendOus
import. So vital is he problem with
which it deals that we hasten to give
it publicity. Here it is:
To the Editor Of The Washington Times:
Knowing that The Times may al
ways be relied upon TO advance the
cause of the people, l write Eo@ 10
suggest that you advocate a much
needed reform in the management OF
the p. A Y. r. cars.
I have noted the friEhtful struggles
experienced by Washington women in
their efforts to get on and off the P.
a. Y. +. cars while wearing hObble
skirts. Surely they arr entitled TO
consideration. II the street railway
companies are determined to use cars
with high steps, can they not be
forced TO provide guards at rear and
front platforms, to assist the hobbled
ladies, whose limbs and lives are now
a. MERE MAN.
The Times most heartily indorses
this suggestion. Indeed, the necessity
of helper to boost the ladies up and
ease them down is imperative. 1t Is
the only sure solution OF an otherwise
unsolvable situation. The ladies must
wear hobble skirts-whO is brave
enough 10 contend that they need not,
in the face of the dictates of style
they must ride on the street cars, and
the traction magnates, apparently,
must use elevated rolling stock. This
certainly proves the case and puts the
burden of responsibility for broken
bones on the companies.
If the expense OF supplying extra
men would be so great as to amount
to confscation of the company's prop
ertv or an attack on the inalienable
rights guaranteed them by that charter
of charters, the Constitution, ,hen the
least they could do would be to pro-
vide small-sized stePladders, which
could be lowered by the conductor at
the rear and the motOrman at the head
Of the car.

To the Editor Of The Washington Times:
Progress in civilization means enrich
ment Of mans producing capacity along
material, intellectual, and ethical lines.
In no other country is so much done
for the education of the masses as In
the United States. But our educational
ideal is not fully crystalIized. With but
few exceptions. our schools, colleges and
universities are as yet only the reflex
or the America Of today; that IS TO say,
their great attraction is that they are
the abode Of life, movement and hope.
To prepare men and women for the
search of truth has not vet become our
national educational watchword. With
the most Of our educators and scholars
education is merely an fundamentally
for the conquest Of the mighty dollar
and the consequent deadening Of the
soul And as long as this remains the
primary aim and the inevitable result
OF our educational institutions our ma
serial. political, economic. and social
conditions cannot be finally adjusted.
Our educational system is too kaleido-
scopic. 1t needs TO be siuplifed at the
base aid unified at the top by the in
fluence and agency Of a national uni
versity at the National Capital. That
only under such conditions a national
educational plan can be evolved is con-
clusively proved by the history OF the
modern Western nations.
The city of Washington. through the
product OF compromise and OF artificial
development has grown, nevertheless,
unexpectedly and rapidly within the last
three decades. il has grown abreast
with the development Of national senti-
come a real Capital Of the Nation. and
is constantly developing in that direc-

The article by f. 3. p. recently pub

thought.
The question. How en- the son OF a

a very vital one

The compensation plan evolved at
the conference of national guard
officers in st. Louis contains one
OF the wisest proposals recently
made for Strengthening our mill
tary establishment With the ap-
prevail Of Gen Leonard Wood, the Of
ficers decided 10 urge Congress to in
crease the pay Of officers and men Of
the guard In view of the fact that pub
lie sentiment will not countenance a
large standing army, and because Of the
many excellent objections TO such an in
stitution, II is essential that we MAKE
our national guard as efficient as pos
sible- We cannot maintain a fighting
arm big enough 10 guarantee protection
at all times. but We can build up our
civilian reserve forces, and in them we
can have big, trained army that could
take the field quickly. and very shortly

FRANK DECLARATION BY A
WOMAN DELEGATE.

At least one delegate to the prison
reform conference in Washington has
the courage Of her convictions and the
candor to speak plainly. She says:
I advocate poIygamy as a national
institution, open and recognized, If
the Identical standard Of morals is
impossible for both men and women
Let a man be married TO as many
women not be the OutcastS Of society,
and let their children be given the
care. and love, and opportunity that
every human being born into the
world deserves.
In the sanctity and security of home,
the man or woman who reads this
declaration shudders, and wonders what
sort o. a person has given expression
to such wild heresy. He or she is even
likely to condemn the Newspaper that
prints it. But let us not be hasty.
Who Is the person? Why does she voice
such startling sentiments?
The person is DR.. Katherine B. Davis,
Phi D., a graduate of the University OF
Chicago and of Vassar, and a holder
of fellowships or certificates of grad
uation from half a dozen German aud
Austrian universities. She has spent
twenty years in work for the improve
ment of the condition of women who
have met with misfortune. For sew
eral years she was in charge of the
College Settlement in Philadelphia anu
at present she is superintendent of the
New York State Reformatory for Won
en-. This person is not an hysterieal
theorist, or a seeker of noteriety- She
is a practical worker, who has gone
down into the depths to sit beside her
unfortunate sisters, TO hold Their
hands, to carry them comfort and cheer
and food and clothing, and to helT
them back to the plane from which
they have fallen. Her words demand
attention. They are the words of one
who knows. She says further:
In the New York State reformatory
of which l have charge. and in which
:
en-. there are few who are not the
victims, primarily or solely, of this
double standard. BY IL men escape
unscathed, with the complete toler-
ance. il not the approval, of society
while women go to- ruin from which
they can rarely be reclaimed, and oul
founding asylums are, filed with de
feCtive children
And so. ! say emphatically If it Il
/ impossible for men to live by stand
ards which civilization requires of IL.
women. then let US establish an opeI
system Of pOlygamy.
That DR.. Davis cutlery against tn,
double standard of morality is JUST
fed by existing conditions of societ,
must be conceded. The theory tina
the solution of the problem is polyg
amy. however, will Ind few adherents
The solution must ultimately be tn
raising of the moral standard for mel
and the amelioration of the attitud
of botn iaeH and women toward tn
woman who has transgressed.
