PARK
STREETS CRITICISED
Citizens Association Calls
Highways a Disgrace
to Community.

The betterment of the sidewalks and
streets in Brightwood Park. the increase
In the number of cars and transporta-
ton facilities Of the Baltimore and
Washington Transit Company, the COM
pletion of unfinished streets, and the
increase in the salary of manual train
ing and domestic science teachers to a
sum equal to that of the academic in
structors in the District public schools
were some of the topics discussed at the
monthly meeting of the Brightwood
Park Citizens Association last night.
Particularly emphatic was the attitude
of the association with regard to the
condition of the streets and sidewalks
of the park. H. s. Omohundro, presi-
dent of the body, and George F. Will
liams, chairman of the committee on
streets and sidewalks, making speeches
on this subject.
Streets Called Disgrace.
Mr.. Omohundro. in his address, drew
the attention of the members to the
fact that there are number of streets
in the park which have been started by
the District. and have never been fin
ished. and that their condition at pres
ent is disgrace to the vicinity. Mr..
Williams, speaking of the condition of
the sidewalks, alluded to the fact that
there were several of the latter which
were a foot and a half under water
whenever 1t rained.
1t was decided at the meeting last
night to send letters to the House Dis
trict Committee drawing its attention
to the present condition of the line sup
posed to be operated by the Baltimore
end Washington Transit Company, on
which but one car has been run. The
transit company has given as an ex-
cuse for not providing a better system
of transportation the fact that 1t is
experimenting with locomotion. and
periments with the different methods
are at an end. The BriGhtwood Park
Citizens Association. however, will pc
titfon the District Committee to force
the transit company to put on more cars
at once, and also TO take better care of
the street on which their line runs.
Would Equalize Pay.
A letter will be addressed to the chair
men of the District Committees in the
House and Senate regarding the lonSev
ity increase in teachers salaries, and
the placing Of the pay OF the mechanical
and domestic science tutors on the same
basis as that of the academic instruc
tors
Two new members, J. p. Locke, and
c. E. Edwards. were received into the
association last night. and II was an
nounoed that the February meeting
would be In the nature Of a surprise.

Eagle Kills a Buck
While Citizens Watch

ENFIELD, Mass. Jan. 19-The rigid
game laws of this State, which prevent
the killing of either deer or eagles. are
responsible for the death of a particu-
larly fine buck, which lost its life yes
terday in a fight with large eagle.
The deer, handicapped by the elusive
ness of it's adversary. was unable to
put up a good fight and withstood the
attacks of its opponent only a short
time, while residents of the Enfield
district stood by and watched, the game
laws preventing them from helping
either the animal or the bird.

Worldwide Importations.
A. H. Turner,

Our tea, our C flee, our corks,
bananas, our camphor, our licorice,
our pepper, nutmegs and other
,pices, our silk, and some of out
cotton, a considerable part of ou'
W )ol and, strange as it may appear,
some part of the onions, potatoes,
and cheese consumed in the United
States are brought from Other
countries and in many cases from
the opposite side of the globe and
out of the way parts of the world.
Few people would suppose, for
example, that this great agricultural
country imports onions, or potatoes
or clover seed, or honey; yet the
value Of oniCns imported in 1907
and 1903 was nearly a million
dollars In each year, and they came
from Egypt, Australia, Japan, The
Canary Islands, Uruguay, Cuba
the British West Indies, Bermuda
Canada, Mexico and Spain. D
potatoes more than 81 millior
dollars worth were imported il
1899, the largest Contributing
country being Scotland with owe
1 million dollars worth, IRELAND
and Great Britain, each three gear
4 ters of million dollais' worth, ant
the remainder largely from Euro
pean countries and, in smaller qean
titles, from the British West Indies
Australia, aud even China ant
Japan. Pepper, of course, is no
produced in the United States anC
1t is not surprising, therefore, tba
million dollats' worth is imported
annually, much of 1t from the Dutch
East Indies, although largely ac-
credited 10 the Straits Settlements,

Islands, known century ago a. the
"SPice Islands," while smaller
quantities come direct from the
Netherlands, the country which has
tor SO many years administered the

such an agricultural country as the

to import clover seed, but the
quantity imported runs as high as

from Germany and in smaller
quantities from france, Italy, nd
Scotland. Sausage castings, which

from which The impurtauOns of 1900
were over ~ miIlicn dollars, the
remainder being from widely
scattered countries, from Germauy,
Turkey in Europe, China, Australia,
aud Turkey in Asia. Natural gas
is another article which we would
scarcely expect to see imported,
yet the importations run as high as
$50, 900 per annum, being piped
across the river from Canada at or
near Niagara Falls.

To End "Roping." Z"


of Oklahoma. 1t is a proposal that
the cruel and lbarbaric ''roping
contest" shall be prohibited by law.
1t is fitting that such a law should
be passed In oklahoma which has
had to stand sponsor in the public
mind for the so-called "Wild West
organizations that have toured the
country with their often clumsy and
ridiculous amateurs posing as
"cowboys and "cowgirls" and
rejecting discredit upon the West.
1t is true that one or two legitimate
"shows" have their origin ia
Oklahoma, but the ma ority of such
organizations are made up of those
who know practically nothing OF
real ranch life by experience and
who delight to torture cattle and
horses for the amusement of the
crowds.
The Journal has consistently op-
posed all cropping contests" as
generally conducted. They are
but pitlful exhibitions at best and
are violations of huMsaity end
decency. There is nothing uplifting
or even entertaining in the better
sense of the word in the sight of a
gally bedecked "cowboy" throwing
a rope about the feet of a horss and
bringing It to its knees, or OF throw
ing a steer that is frenEied with fear.
Such exhibitions might we'll be
prohibited in every state of the
Union aud it is gratifying to see
that Oklahoma is taking steps to do
away with them
There was a time VIXEN "roping'
was a necessary practice and was a
real feature of ranch life. Perhaps
it is yet to some extent, at the
annual roundup and btanding time.
Skill in this sort of thing w@s a
recommendation to the ranch hand
But even then there was nothing
attractive about the sight Of cropping"
although the animal that was fosced
TO submit to this form of capture
was seldom really hurt. But In the
HWiid West" shows The same hoeses
and cattle are used daily, and tie.
,quentlv their legs and necks are
broken and they are duVen into a
state of nervous frenzy before they
are finally "subdued" for the de
Lectatlon of the audiences.
The modem "Wlld West" show is
mere travesty upon the lift tina
it essays to represent. 1t tends to
perpetuate only the brutal AID the
undesirable features of cattle han
dll9g. 1t requires little skill to
entangle an animal in rope when
the snimal is penned up in small
space and has no chance to escape.
Tne Legislators of Oklahoma can
hardly make a mistake by stopping
such pTacIces and thereby relieving
their state of the odium attaching to
them.-Kansas City Journal.
