LET'S CALL 1T SIMPLY
WASHINGTON CITY

To the Editor OF THE TIMES:
AS our beautiful city is now we'll on
its way from a capital in the making to
a capital in fact, 1t would seem that
there should be no delay in Kidding 1t Of
all vestiges Of Its swaddling clothes.
The letters I'D. c." for instance, which
invariably follow all references to the
National Capital certainly serve no Use
full purpose, and should be abandoned.
There is but one city worthy Of the
name in this country which is called
washington, so why should It burden
itself with marks of identification for
the benefit of its bucolic and little
known namesakes, with which 1t Is in
no danger of being COMPOUNDED? New
York city is the preferred form to New
York, N. Y" which 1t has almost en-
tirely displaced, so why not Washington
City, instead of washington, D. c."
As Washington City comprises in fact
the entire District, the form Washing
ton, D. c." is an instance Of wheels

pensed with. R. A BRIGGS.

BUSINESS-LIKE METHODS IN
CHARITY WORK.

Washington seems to be on the verge
of taking another step forward in the
reform of its charitable, philanthropic
and correctional activities. The pro-
posal for a board of citizens to pass on
the various organizations that solicit
funds from the public is good and
should meet with hearty approval.
Such system would put the organiza-
tions on a businesslike basis at least
so far as solicitation of money is con-
cerned- 1t would result in the wedding
out of societies whose methods of
operation are questionable, and it
would practically guarantee the public
that all money contributed would be
wisely used.
The proposed board should be com
posed of citizens not directly interested
in any charitable, phiIanthropic, or cor
rectional society. The board would in
vestigate all organizations that solicit
money and would issue a certificate to
those deemed worthy of support With
in a short time people who are APP
preached for contributions would learn
to ask the solicitors if they had a
certificate from the board of citizens.
If they could produce no such certifi-
cate, the person approached would feel
justified in refusing to contribute If
they could produce such a certificate,
the person approached could contribute
without fear that his money would be
wasted
Numerous other cities have adopted
this system and have found that it
produces wholesome results. 1t oper-
ates to the advantage of both the
public and the societies that are do
ing honest work.

SHALL WASHINGTON DROP
ITS I'D. CT"

A contributor to The Times Mail
Bag points out that Washington is
now well on its way from capital
in the making to a capital in fact, -
and he suggests that it get rid of its
swaddiing clothes. He sees no reason
why the one Washington in the United
States which can lay claim to being
a real city should be encountered with
the descriptive initials, I'D. c." Since
Washington city is in point of fact the
entire District, the added initials are
in the nature of a duplication. Our
correspondent calls attention to the
fact that New York is no longer bur-
dened, in ordinary reference or cor
respondence, with an extra IN. Y"
The unique supremacy of New York
City" is acknowledged. Why should
not Washington City," also, be re-
garded as applying -eminently to
the Capital of the Nation? One might
even go further and ask why the one
word washington" should not be suf-
ficient, just as London, Paris, and Ber-
lin are self-explanatory, when the name
of the country is added.

CONFESSIONS OF A HEARTH

Literature without its wealth of
autobiography would be as tame as
Unleavened bread. The butterfly taste
which demands variety may skip and
sip along from st. Augustine's Con
fessions" to those OF Rousseau, and
ricochet from Colley Cibber's "Apology'

the memoirs of Mark Twain and Cen
eral Grant left something to be de-
sired in this field of letters until that
serial BenediCk, Nat Goodwin, an
nounced that he was already engaged
in turning his observations and expe-
riences into a book. When he asked
himself what he was to call it he made
the involuntary response, 81 Wonder"
and that's to be the name of it.
The cheerful comedian who has lived

Taken altogether he has rather enjoyed
the change of scene incident to his
various matrimonial ventures, married
only by some of the discomforts of
travel which he seems to regard as
quite a matter of course. But to per-
petrate a book is a serious matter.
When it is an autobiography it is yet
more serious. And inasmuch as the
tender tendrils of his life are inter
twined with the affairs of so many
people who have never patted a pro-
prietary foot on his hearthstone, the
alarm is spreading. Since the an

regularities.

The fight Of the fourth class mem
bers Of the endowment rank, knights
OF Pythias, against the increases in
the insurance assessments that went
into effect January l, 1911, has been
carried into the Supreme Court of the
District. Petitions have been filed for
an injunction preventing the supreme
lodge and the highest officers of the
order and the endowment rank from
collecting the new assessments and
also for the appointment of a receiver
for the supreme lodge. The petition
ers are John H. Turpin, of Greensboro.

who name as co-defendants in their
action George NJ. Hanson, of Calais.
Me-, the supreme chancellor, and Union
B. Hunt, of Indianapolis, Ind, presi-
dent and general counsel of the insur-
ance department
Several similar actions have been
filed in State courts and with State.
insurance departments by members Of
the fourth class, which is known as
the assessment branch.
Diversion of Funds Alleged.
The fifth class, which was authorized
by the supreme lodge at the New Or
leans meeting in 1906, is known as the
old line branch. 1t is alleged by mem
bers of the fourth class that the fifth
class was organized with money d.
yerted from the fourth class, depriVing
them of the benefit of several hundred
thousand dollars.
Nv the transfer to the fifth class OF
n any of the members OF the otReI, IL
is commended, the ranks of the fourth
class have been depleted and the assess
ments have been increased thereby De
yond all reason. Turpin, who IS seven
ty-four years old, paid prior TO January
/. $40 a month on a 5000 policy, and
now, he claims, his assessment has oeen
raised to S32.85 a month. Williams, VINO
is eighty years old and formerly PAID
S. 90 a month for 5000 insurance, was
assessed $3.50 under the new tar1n.
They contend that these excessive in
creases are in violation of their con-
tract. They allege gross mismanage-,
u.ent Of the funds of the fourth class
and their diversion to the uses of the
fifth class, in which they have no in
terest. Blair, Drayton & Hi!lyer repre-
sent the plaintiffs in the petitions filed
here Their reason for taking action in
the District is that this city is the
which was incorporated by act OF Con-
gress in 1894.
Three Suits in Indiana.
Three different suits have been filed
in Indianapolis to enjoin the supreme
lodge and the endowment rank from
collecting the increased assessments or
canceling the policies Of the petition
ers, who number about go fourth class
members.
A member of the fourth class in New
York State applied to the Attorney Gen
eral to have Cancelled the right of the
society to do business in that State
The Attorney General referred the mat
ter TO the insurance commissioner of
that State, who refused the application
on the ground that the supreme lodge
had the right to raise its insurance
rates. He said. further:
Justice Gould has signed a rule, re-
turnable March 8, requiring the de-
to show cause why they should
not be enjoined from collecting the
assessments now levied against

A SERUM FOR THE CURE OF
INSANITY.

1t was announced yesterday by a
member of the household staff of the
Glasgow Royal Asylum that a serum
had been discovered which, injected
into the blood of the patient, will not
only cure madness but absolutely pre-
vent a return of the malady. Experis
ments with antitoxins have reached a
high state of development since the
study of bacteria as the genesis of
most diseases was first discovered. The
efficiency of that method of treating
diphtheria has been we'll established,
and in blood poisoning, tetanus, pneu-
monia, and snakebite the results have
been in some degree satisfactory. Old
King Mithridates, we are told, discov-
cred that by taking a small amount of
snake poison he could make himself
immune from larger doses, so the
theory is by no means new.
The filtered toxins with which the
poisonous bacteria are combated are
usually developed in some animal OF
the lower order. 1t would be interest
ing to know what particular animal is
first made mad in order to develop a
serum which may be used for restoring
the sanity of man. In the meantime the
grave old doctors in London are shak-
ing their heads and pointing out that
madness is usually accompanied by
change in brain structure which no
serum therapy treatment can restore
to the normal again. Just as old King
Mithridates had to struggle along with
a very crude remedy for snakebite, 50
we shall have to wrestle with insanity
with imperfect materials for a while
longer.

THE GROWTH OF NATIONAL
SPIRIT IN CHINA.

The awakened spirit of Young China
is finding expression in a natural re,
luctance to renew with Russia treaty
which would confirm the hold of the
Empire of the North upon the border
provinces of the Empire of the South,
There has been nothing in recent years
like the growth of self-consciousness
and self assertiveness of the younger
element in China. The old policy of
supineness has passed away, and today
we see the government dominated to
a large extent, in spite of varying
palace feuds, by daring and militant
body of educated young Chinese who
have imbibed large amount of west
ern independence and enterprise. 1t
was, of course, with the greatest reluc-
lance that the old empress dowager,
the most masterful figure in the old
regime, consented to a plan of repre-
sentative and responsible government
in a country where absolutism had
been root and branch of religion and
government from time immemorial.
And yet the germ of a parliament had
scarcely been formed when it demand
ed an immediate completion of the
parliamentary system which was to
have come into full effect not earlier
than 1915. The regent was compelled
to yield and the epochal change in the
form of government will soon be an
accomplished fact.
The same spirit could not fail to
manifest itself, directly or indirectly,
in any treaty negotiations which might
be set on foot in the meantime. The
teeming empire begins to realize that
it has been a gigantic CULVER bound
down by the petty bonds of Liliputians.
Military activity is on the increase.
the old symbol of the queue has been
shorn and with it much of the sub
servience of the past. The present d
ferences with Russia belong peculiarly
to the class which should be settled
by The Hague tribunal, but the stand
which China is making is yet more
as indicating the new con-
seriousness of national strength.
