More Cars on the Brightwood Line.

The orders just issued by the District
railway commission for a more frequent
service on the Brightwood line. with the
approval OF the Interstate commerce COM
mission, which has been granted jurisdic-
ton over local railway matters by act or
Congress are in the way OF giving the
public what II requires There has been
a demand for years for more cars on
this particular road. on which the traf-
fc has been steadily increasing without
corresnonding additions to the service.
With cars running at a ninety-second
headvay during the rush hours there
should he an adequate supply. and 1t is
70 be hoped that the company will do its
best 10 comply with the requirement and
give the people the service that the COM
mission has decided to be necessary. The
patrons OF the line are to be congratu-
lated upon finally obtaining that for
which they have been petitioning and
fighting for years.
The street railway companies OF the
District are bound by the conditions un-
der which they use the streets to furnish
the right kind of service to the people
and in normal conditions to give them
seats 1t may he impossible at certain
times Of the day to supply all passengers
with seats. but orders such those Is
sued ny the railway commission tend
equitahly to keep the number of those
compelled to stand az the minimum re-
uured by the public comfort and safety.
What the people want primarily and
specifically from the railway companies
Is adequate service. First of all. what
ever the rate of fare. they want to get a
car with the least delay and to have the
privilege Of sitting during their ride.
After they have secured good service
come questions Of the rate of fare, in
volved in propositions of. for instance,
seven tickets for quarter, universal
transfers and special rates for school
children or possibly workingmAh at GER
tain hours in the day. 1t is the natural
and proper attitude of the patron to seek
the best service for the cheapest rate at
which the company can equitably be
made to supply it, and the customer is
entirely within his rights to demand any
OF these things, throwing the burden on
the corporation 10 show which, if any, OF
them cannot equitably be granted or re-
Guired
The principal thing. far as the com
munity's interest is concerned is for the
commissions or officials vested with power
10 see first that the service is adequate;
that there are plenty of cars to carry the
passengers safely without undue conges-
tiOn ut even the hours of greatest use,
and that the ears are comfortable, clean
and convenient. In the main Washing
tons street railway equipment is excel
ient in some respects far beyond that of
other cities ON some of the lines the
cars are not only of the best type, but
are 50 frequently run that the service is
in every respect satisfactory. 1t is the
hope 70 secure the same standard of suf-
fciency OF good and comfortable cars on
every road in the District.

minister. Both facts argus against Z
row between father and son.
The demeanor Of the son in the royal
box at the reichstag may have been open
to criticism An older and more expe-
rienced man would probably have shown
less enthusiasm i'm public over -'irring
appeals to patriotism. "Saber-rattling,"
as it is called in Germany. would not
have gone so quickly and strongly to his
head. The crown prince is young. and.
as 1t appears. impressionable. and re-
sponded after a young mans fashion.
In support of the current sensation 1t is
pointed out that in German history the
ruler and his heir have often clashed
over policies Of state and other things.
Within living memory there Is proof to
be cited. William / and his heir Fred
erick differed, and the heir of the latter,
the present kaiser. differed with his
father, or rather with his mother, for
she was the dominating personality OF
the short reign of Frederick. Bismarck
helped William III to win his fight, anu
circumvent the policies OF the English
woman as the Iron Chancellor charac-
terized the then kaiserin.
But there is no such situation now. NO
weak and dying man is on the throne,
no petticoated influence prevails In gov
eminent. and no striking personality
awaits call higher. The man at the
helm is his own man, and has steered
his country for twenty odd years through
some perilous channels. His hand Is still
firm. and his eye for thick weather APP
parently as good as ever.
1t is not impossible. of course. for diff
ferences to arise even between two sucn
men as the kaiser and his son-the one
bold, experienced and resourcefui. ana
the other. at most observing and imma-
ture. But if any now exist, or soon snow
themselves, a safe bet. according to al
American rules of play, would be on the
old man.

Some Bosses.

Tuesday was a bad day for some of
the bosses, but was any one Of them
really done for?
Boss Cox is probably left in the worst
fix of all. He was forced to announce
retirement before election day. Had he
refused, the democratic majority would
have been greater than it was. But he
will bear watching. He is rich and In
business, but he neither knows nor loves
any activity so we'll as politics. He has
been in the game, and until now a win
ner, all his life. At sixty he is still a
robust man. How can he content him
self with only an observers seat? His
return to boss-ship would injure his
party, but If the passion seizes him and

shaken. and the list of delegates to the
republican national convention will pass

ably head the delegation. His inherit

and it will take more than one defeat to
bankrupt him.
In Baltimore Boss Mahon. while dis
figured, is still in the ring He lacks the
Rasin skill. but not the audacity. He
plays for keeps. and is something of a
plunger. This time he overplayed him.
self: but those higher up will have to
find new man If they displace him, and
the time is short. Next year approaches
like a race horse. Baltimore's vote is a
large factor in the Maryland result, and
a democratic machine has always been
used to bring it out
Boss Murphy was pounded severely, but
may rally. The argument is that New
York needs Tammany, and the national
democracy needs New York. What show
would that party have to carry the state
with Tammany in revolt, or sulking? And
who SO competent for Tammany leader
ship as man of the Murphy type? The
organization calls for just his sort. Its
most enthusiastic responses have been to
the manipulation of men who were of
It's kind and who worked with an under
standing of it's level and it's chaI acter-
istics. Besides, not every democrat who
is now denouncing the Tammany boss
will be denouncng him next year. When
1t dawns upon them that they need him
in their business. they will forgive and
fraternize with him, as they have often
done.
The test of boss is his ability to
stand both prosperity and adversely

A Favorite.

Ny Uncle Jim is popular,
We know he ought to be
A president-but that is far
From what we're like to see.
He doesn't figure in the shout
When candidates are named;
The way they leave my uncle out
They'd ort to be ashamed!
But jes' the same he gets a smile
From every one he sees.
And children walk fer half a mile
To sit upon his knees
An hear him tell about the times
When he was young an strong
An mebby tell 'em funny rhymes
Or sing a little song.
He knows a lot, does Uncle Jim.
But somehow he enjoys
Instid O. lectures long and grim
A talk with gals an boys.
1t takes a gentler. kinder man,
When all is said an done,
To be a favorite uncle than
To be a 'favorite son."

Public Building Housekeeping.

A reading Of the annual report Of the

lished shows that Uncle Sam maintains
a high standard of housekeeping for his
lawmakers. In these days Of universal
belief in the germ theory of disease 1t is
no longer possible to run a big public
building after the style Of the traditional
housemaid who sweeps the dirt under
the sofa and drops her dust rag into the
piano. Everything must be clean, not
only outwardly but inwardly. There can
be no slipshod work II the health OF the
public servants IL to be preserved. Good
air is to be guaranteed at all times. This
standard. unfortunately, does not prevail

Return of the President.
From the New York Times.

One impression must remain very dis
tinctly in the mind of Mr.. Taft as he re-
turns to his desk at the White House
after his long journeying. 1t is that
of the majesty of the republic of which
he is the executive head. He has travel
ed far enough to have half circled the
globe and has visited but little more than
half of his own land. He has seen the
wonderful variety as well as the extent
and high average character of it's peo-
pie. He has gained a conception Of their
resources. material and moral. He has
met their leaders and come into touch
with representatives of numberless types
who all remain American. He must feel
that it is splendid land to preside over
and we mistake the man il he does not
return with renewed inspiration and de-
termination to give to his great task the
best there Is in him.

The spectacle Of three airplanes in flight

Maryland Wants to Hedge,
From the Philadelphia Inquirer.


After the decisive vote of Tuesday
Maryland democrats were discouraged
for a few hours, but now have proposed
a plan by which the results may be prac-
tically nullified. According to the con
stitution the legislature is in session a
week before the new republican governor
is inaugurated. and the plan now is to
use the interim to rush through lot of
legislation, which will tie up the new
governor in such a way as to make him
only q pleasing figurehead. We have no
notion that such scheme is to succeed.
There must be left a considerable amount
OF sporting blood in Maryland and in ad-
dition much civic righteousness.

Some Big Things That Came BY

III Chicago is hustNns city. and has
way OF getting there always. There
are very many bad things in Chicago,
but there are more good things there
than bad ones. There may be more
saloons to the square mile in Chicago
than there are in Philadelphia or Rich
mond. or even New Orleans, but 1t is
dollars to doughnuts that there are
also more churches and other religious
organizations to the square mile than
In either of the cities named. Rich
mond not excepted. Ind then when
1t comes down to business Chicago
sets the pace. and its example in many
lines may be copied to advantage.
Unique Business Organization.
Il Chicago has a unique commercial
and industrial association that works
In harmony with all other trade or
ganiza lions, and yet does a wonderful
lot Of development and business build
Ing on Its own hook. The Chicago AS
ISOLATION OF Commerce is Its name,
and 1t Is indeed unique-there Is moth
Ing like 1t anywhere else In the world
II was formed five years ago, and has
membership OF nearly 1000 1t Is
composed of four d'vislons-the inter-
state division. the civic industrial d.
vision, the local division and the for
eign trade division. A vice pre- g ident
is at the head of each division. There
are seventy-eight subdivisions Five
mem ers from each OF these sub.
divisions constitute the ways and
means committee, n body of 39o men,
bers. to whom is referred great va.
riety of questions for considerable
There Is an executive committee OF
twenty three; also board o. directors
OF twenty seven; also senior council
made up OF former presidents and f,-c
mer vice presidents. who are eX- officio
members OF the executive committee,
and who have special Jurisdiction
over the AFFAIRS of the association
a4 Good Work Done.
During the last Ave years the asso-
citation has established representatives
throughout the Spanish American
countries to further the increase Of
Chicago exports. 1t has this year as
signed $50 mon to cultivate acquaint-
ance with the business organizations
throughout Illinoia-a work that is to
be extended to other States. 1t is
carrying on all sorts of inquiries look
Ing to the Improvement of conditions
In Chicago. 1t has an expert commit
tee engaged on 10 problem OF cleo
trifying railroad terminals. 1t has a.
other committee studying the ques-
ton OF housing the working people
of tho city. and already FIVE members
OF the association have each con-
tributed $4,000 for furthering this
investigation. These are only a few
illustrations OF the scope of the ac-
tivlty characterizing this energetic
body.

HEALTHY CHICKS.
HOW TO. GET THEM
One Of the Main Points in
Successful Poultry
Raising.
pY wALTER G. scHAAF.

Have you ever stopped to think ,wha
we expect from good hen? What we
call good hen is one which will lay,
say, from 125 to 100 eggs per year. or in
rare cases more Now. $50 eggs will
weigh about Ave times as much as the
average hen, consequently we have to
avoid or fight shy Of causes tending
I 10 lower the vitality of our focks
Modern poultry Keeping makes larger
and larger demands on the strength
of the hens. The wild jungle fowl,
from which our domestic fowls have
come, laid a litter of eggs (about
twelve) In the natural mating season
(spring),i and then Matched her eggs
and raised her young to maturity. with
which she completed her years work.
Our modern fowl we not only expect
TO lay about twelve dozen eggs per year.
but we also want the eggs TO be strong
in fertility and hatch chickens having
as strong vitality as the parent stock
Now, one cause of lowered vitality
amongst us fanciers is too close In,
and In breeding without regard to
yGor We all know how hard 1t is To
kill for market weakling who Is
or will DO q fine show specimen. Still,
this Is the only way, as bird that at
any time OF Its growing period Is weak
or sick should not be used for breed
Ing purposes Another cause OF low
cred vitality In a great many hocks is
the use of pullets instead of, hens for
breeding purposes. II we use pullets
that are fully matured, 1 personally
believe the vitality in the chicks will
he Just as great as with hens of two
years or over. hut here's the rub BY
breeding from pullets the breeder IS
undertaking to reproduce from fowls
that have not yet reached maturity
