MAINTAIN PEACE
BY TALKING PEACE

To the Editor of THE TINES:
If, as we are told, we need war to
save us from effeminacy and degen-
Grafton. it would be interesting to learn
how modern war is to prevent us from
becoming mollycoddles. Since, in time
of war, only a small portion of the
male population sees active service, the
rest of the nation must get it's war re-
generation as the spectators at box
ing match get exercise. Possibly the
non-combatants receive their stimulus
in the enthusiasm with which they pay
their war taxes.
Speaking of taxes reminds me that
when we are disposed to protest against
the expenditure of $500, ,000, 900 a year
by the alleged civilized nations for war
preparations, we are informed that the
best way to maintain peace is to be
prepared for war. Then If war does
come we certainly have a right to
protest for peace should be assured.
We pay enough for it! But. stop a
second. With peace the war partisans
warn us that We are doomed to
'effeminacy. First they call our atten-
ton to the disastrous effects of peace:
next they profess a desire to maintain
peace at a cost of thousands of mil
lions. Clever If separated. Divided it
stands, united IT falls In the name of
tactics, gentlemen. give a little more
attention to team work, and believe
me, the best way to maintain peace is
to talk peace THE HAGUE

PROTESTS RECKLESS
AUTO DRIVING

To the Editor of THE TIMES:
Since automobiles have largely dis
placed the use of the horse for bus1-
ness as we'll as pleasure, 1t is no
credit to their drivers, that they have
also increased the danger of ordinary
travel to the people on the public
highway.
The pedestrian has practically lost
the right of way on the streets OF
the city.
Through the reckless speed of auto
mobiles, whose drivers seemingly can
not get over the ground fast enough
the pedestrian must be good schem-
er to insure passing personal safety.
The reckless and careless speeding
becomes more and more empnatlc on
each subsequent occasion OF hair
breadth escapes to the drivers them
selves, OF to others or to both.
Facts as they occur, cannot be over
come by f1imsy excuses Of unaVold-
able accident to the contrary.
The fact that a hundred people
have been killed by AUTOMOBILES ABOUT
us. has proved to be sad mistake
en- the part of public othclals, IN neg
lecting their duty, by the forceful re-
duction of the dangerous speed allow
ed to be made by the machines.
People who make mistakes. are not
expected to continue those mistakes,
in producing like unfortunate condi-
tions to others.
The burned child breads the hre,

individual experience. coming from
observation and practice has no equal.
The individual on foot. who commits
an overt act lis hailed into the Police
Court, but the individual on wheels,
with something worse than wheels in
the head. who kills man motoring,
escapes all legal complications on the
sustained plea of unavoidable acci-
dent.
Some one is either actually killed
outright, or crippled for life, or dis
a bled to such an extent as to make
burden of life, through the legally
sustained recklessness of the less than
human drivers, whose exhibit is un-
equaled.
1t has become a new style of muir
der, which the city government fails
to eradicate, or lessen. or subdue.
Twelve miles an hour for automobile
drivers, is often increased to twenty
.Or more miles an hour. and IL passes
without legal restraint: but the driv-
er of horses who reaches eight miles
an hour. is raided by the police from
all quarters as reCklesSly dangerous
to human life in transit.
Under the behest of public opinion,
the sober second thought in automo-
bile movements, demanding a dimi-
mutton of speed. must take precedence
at an early day.
Human life is too sacred to be sac
rificed or imperiled. by the flying
speed of unrestrained men on wheels.

CHANGE IN THE DATE OF
INAUGURATIONS.

Only the ancient superstition that
the Constitution OF the United States
is sacred document hich must not
be altered by so much as the striking
out of comma has prevented a
change in the date OF Inauguration of
Presidents during the quarter of a
century that public sentiment on this
question has been developing.
The Constitution is a sacred docu-
ment, whose, essential principles WI.
always be cherished by Americans, but
many of its minor provisions do not
fit present day conditions. For a
people to refuse to change these pro-
visions purely because of a sentimental
conviction that the instrument must
always be as it was in the beginning
would be ridiculous.
The constitutional provision fixing
the date for the Inauguration OF
President was drawn before the era
of steam and electric railroads, when
it was possible for only few citizens
of the nation to 90 to the Capital and
participate in the ceremonies atten-
dant upon the induction of new
Chief Executive into office. A hun
dred years ago nobody would have
dared predict that the time would
come when a quarter of million
people would attend an Inauguration.
If this had been deemed possible the
men who fixed the inaugural date
would have given due consideration to
the time of year and the weather,
with a view of holding inaugurations
when the public would not be likely
to be inconvenience by storms. If
these men were here today they would
be the first to advocate a change to
meet the changed conditions. Those
directly responsible now-the members
of Senate and House-should be
equally broad minded and progressive
and should display the same consider
alton for the citizens of the country.
A year ago the resolution providing
for an amendment to the Constitution
failed of passage in the House by only
one vote. The opposition to it was
mostly Democratic. This year the
Democrats are in the majority in the
lower branch. If they are to assume
the prominent place in the Inaugural
tion of the next President that they
now think they will assume, it would
seem logical that they do all in their
power to assure the success of the
ceremonies.

WHY NOT ABOLISHFLIES AND
MOSQUITOES.

Why not abolish flies and mosqui-
toes?
Of course, you smile. We've always
had flies and mosquitoes and there
fore, you say, we will always have
them.
DIR. L. o. Howard, chief of the Bu-
reau of Entomology of the Department
of Agriculture, says you're wrong.
He says it is for each community to
say whether it will have flies and mos
quitoes. If Washington, for instance,
really wanted to be fyless and mos
quitoless it could be so. If every
neighborhood would see to it that
there was no filth within its borders,
there would be no flies within its bor-
ders, for flies cannot exist where there
is no filth. If every neighborhood
would see to it that there was no
stagnant water within its borders,
there would be no mosquitoes within
its borders. If the city would then
keep its sewers flushed clean there
would be practically no flies and mos
quitoes anywhere in town. They
wouldn't come from other communi-
ties, for they can't travel more than
about half a mile.
Flies spread typhoid fever, diph-
liberia, scarlet fever, tuberculosis, and
other diseases among people. Mos
quitoes spread malaria.
Ipstead of adjourning for the sum-
mer, why wouldn't it be good idea
for the citizens associations of Wash
ington to spend the hot weather Pc
riod in an anti-fy and anti-mosquito
campaign? They would have the
hearty support and cooperation OF the
Department of Agriculture, the Dis
trict Health Department, and the Am
erican Civic Association, which main
tains its headquarters here. Flies
and mosquitoes-and the diseases that
follow them-could be practically
eliminated in the District of Column
bia if this program were seriously
| followed.

the ice breaks and the polar bears be-
gin to stretch themselves the born ad-
venturers say to themselves, somewhat
after the fashion of the English sports
man: "It's lovely day; let's 60 out
and look for some Cook records This
opens up wide field for their ac-
tivity. There are supposed to be
records on the top of Mt. Mckinley.
Some in connection with the North
Pole are supposed to be in Copen-
hagen. Etah has a consignment of
them. No matter in what part of the
world the seeker after adventures and
the records of adventures may wish
to travel, DIR. Cook will give him an
excuse.
Can there be any direct or remote
connection between this and the open
ing of the Chautauqua season, in
which DIR. Cook might be a shining
light? 1t would seem that unless
something of the kind is the case it
would be better worth while to 60 to
looking for that sloop of war which
has lain on the bottom of the sea off
the coast of France for these many
years, loaded down with gold. That
wreck of the Armada which lies off the
coast of Scotland would be better
worth seeking, since it is loaded down
with plate. And then there is the
ubiquitous treasure of Captain Kidd,
which rests in every bay and inlet of
the Atlantic and Gulf coasts. There
would be real profit in that.
The public thinks it has DR.. Cooks
record down pretty pat. 1t knows
enough without seeking further Ibis
merits to disclose" Let some of the
adventurers devote their time TO dis
covering who resurrected DR.. Cook.
The Washington times., 1911-05-08
ANOTHER SCHEDULE THAT
NEEDS INVESTIGATION.

The Mckinley duties on tin plate
used to be chief justification of our
high protective system, because when
these high duties were levied they re,
suited, in the. almost instant upbuild.
ing of great American industry
the manufacture of tin plate.
At the same time when these tin
duties were raised an effort was made
to transplant another great industry
to these shores. The duties on linens
were advanced, and there was much
confident assurance that, under this
encouragement, fax suited to linen
making would soon be produced and
we would presently be turning out all
the linen we wanted to use.
Long experience in this effort to de-
vclop a linen industry has demon
strated that there is no prospect of
paralleling the tin-plate success. We
are not growing the fax, nor making
the linens. We are merely doing with
out the linens, which are made too ex-
pensive for the great masses of people.
1t is yet somewhat mooted whether
our climate and soil can produce the
kind of flax Ireland knows. 1t is Ger
tain that our farmers are not dis
posed to raise flax for fabrics, because
to do so requires a patience, atten-
ton, and skill for which the returns
are not sufficient to tempt farmers
away from hogs and corn.
But the linen schedule works right
along. We imported of manufactured
linens in 1909 over S2O.OOO.OOO, while
only about $2,5OOOOo worth of fax
came in. Yet the duty on fax for
fabrics was made very low, and on
manufactured linens very high, in the
hope of inducing the manufacture of
linens here, and ultimately develop
ment of flax growing business.
Neither has been accomplished. The
effort has been continued long enough
to justify the belief that it is not
destined to succeed. 1t has made
linens too expensive for common use,
and has forced the substitution of cot
tons for linens; cotton which in many
cases are labeled linen, but have no
fiber of the flax in their makeup. In
this way the linen schedule supple
ments the cotton schedule, and adds
further protection to the eXcesses al
ready enjoyed by the cotton fabrica-
tors.
In time when the relation of
tariff to the cost of living is so much
in mind of schedule builders, it is
worth while to suggest that the linen
schedule have an overhauling in con-
nection with the attention which the
Ways and Means Committee is to
give to the cotton duties.

OLD NICK PERSONAL
ENOUGH TO SATISFY
To the Editor of THE TINES:

To the Editor of THE TIMES:
The question of whether we have
real personal devil, in the machinery
of life, was recently discussed by a
leading clergyman, without resulting
in very satisfactory conclusions. In the
whole range of primitive folklore, this
question is answered with very loud
"Ycs-' Our remote ancestors had posi-
tive notions about the way to account
for good and evil. Natures bright and
gloomy aspects were delfied. There
were demons of sunshine and gentle
showers; demons of lightning, thunder.
and sirocco. African, Indian, Slayonic,
and Icelandic traditions are crowded
with choice assortment of demons,
goblins, and devils. 1t was only few
years back that the miners wives in
Penshall, England, during a deluge
which engulfed the mine and destroyed
their husbands, shrieked around the
mouth of the shaft to frighten off the
demon, thus acting on a superstition
which came years ago from the cradle
of the Himalayas.
But their goblins or demons did not
have the strict personality which was
later credited to the devil, and which is
so thoroughly respected by some that
they teach their children to bow their
heads when they speak of the devil, for
he had much larger kingdom than any
potentate on earth. The personal devil
of today originated in Persia and was
popular from the start He relieved God
of responsibility for all that was ugly,
misSi1apen or wrong, and gave man
somebody to blame for his misdeeds
Moncure Conway said that the devn,
like all his hobgoblin colleagues, trav-
eled from India and Persia to Eu-
rope with the Semitic race. OF course,
he started from the Garden of Eden.

TRACTION COMPANY STILL IN
TROUBLE.

The Washington Railway and Elec-
trio Company is likely to discover
that it has Topped from the frying pan
into the fire by dismissing its suit in
the Federal court over fares on the
Rockville line, and having a receiver
appointed for the Rockville company,
which it controls by stock ownership.
Citizens of Somerset, Drummond, and
Friendship Heights, Nd, have insti-
tuted proceedings before the Inter
state Commerce Commission looking
to regulation of rates of fare between
these towns and Washington.
In the petition filed last week the
local holding company is charged with
violation of the interstate commerce
act of 1887. 1t is declared that the
railway line from Somerset to Wash
ington is, so far as operation and
traffic are concerned, one system. and
that the Interstate Commerce Com
mission therefore has jurisdiction over
its business. The citizens charge that
the rates of fare to Washington are
excessive. .N-
If the Interstate Commerce Com
mission decides that it Mas jurisdiction
over the two railway companies, one
within and one outside the District,
patrons of the Rockville line can be
assured that their grievances will re-
ceive careful consideration. Further
more, such decision would make
possible more effective regulation of
other systems which the Washington
Railway and Electric Company oper-
ates BY the same method.
