Connecticut Avenue
Bridge Declared Safe

No alarm need be felt by the public
concerning the safety of the Connecticut
avenue bridge at Klingle road, accord
Ing to a report submitted to the Com
missioners by +. c. ]. Bailey, jr., En-
gineer of Bridges. Mr.. Bailey says the
bridge Is amply able to sustain the
weight of the cars of the Capital Trac-
tion Company.
Only one car is allowed on the bridge
at time
"The limitation as to the number of
cars on the bridge was placed before
the strengthening of the structure" says
the report, ''and while it is no longer
necessary for the safety of the struc-
ture, 1t has been retained as an addi-
tional measure of safety"

]. HAMILTON LEWIS
Senate Aspirant Gives Views
While Here Looking Over
the Situation.

If ]. Hamilton Lewis, who has ma
tion-wide fame both for his array of
golden whiskers and for his views,
comes to the United States Senate from
Illinois, the special courts of the Gov
ernment will have in him an enemy
who knows how to fight.
Mr.. Lewis is In Washington now look
Ing over the situation and called at the
White. House yesterday. 1t was
while he was there and only few steps
removed from the chief advocate of
special courts in the country, that the
Chicagoan denounced these tribunals

ever be able to justify its creation? 1t
will not. And / can show you exactly
why.
Can Do Two Things.
THE Court of Commerce can do but
two things. 1t can sustain the Inter-
state Commerce Commission, or It can
reverse the commission. Those are all
the functions it has. Those were all it
was intended to have when 1t was au-
thorized by law.
Now If the Court of Commerce does
nothing but sustain the Interstate Com
tshed. Why have 1t? We should not
have it. There is no reason under
heaven fOr II.
IF, however, the real object of this
court is to reverse the compission, then
1t will perish from the earth before 1t is
another year older. The country has
faith in the commission, and will not
tolerate any court which stands eternal
1y between railroads and the adverse
decisions of the commission.
But all these special courts are
alike" continued the Chicago lawyer.
They have nc. excuse for being. They
should be abolished, and they will be
sooner or later. The Court of Customs
Appeals, the Court Of Claims and the
remainder of them are useless in our
system of jurisprudence.
"Why should the railroads have a
special court? They are no more en-
titled to special consideration of, their
cases than are the BARRIERS, bartenders
or bcilermakers.

"All our litigation should be handled by
the regular courts. These courts should be

business, and their procedure should be

|rHE ovERwoRkED HOUSEWIFE

IJ .sThe bitter cry OF the overworked
ssChicago housewife is heard" says the
y Chicago Tribune. "She asks why the
lawmakers who have given other wom-
en- the ten hour day, cannot give 1t to
her also. Her life Is one round OF
dreary drudgery. Her days work be-
xins before the summer sun rises and
does not end until long after 1t sets.
She cooks sews. scrubs, darns. mends,
scours. and minds the children. One
laborious duty trends on the heels of
another. There Is no time for rest or
recreation nothing but work, work,
work.
.The husband comes home when his
few hours OF toll are over. He has had
his lunch hour. He has stopped on
the street corners to chat with friends.
He may have slipped OF to see the end
OF ball game. But he says he has
had an exhausting day, is tired out,
and should not be asked to do any
thing about the house. He says that
he has been out In the heat or the cold

attending to her light, congenlal domes-
Iftic duties. :,
There are some things the aggrieved
housewife overlooks. The work OF

Apus and wearying than hers. II she

lining speed she might prefer the di.
Eyersity Of household work. Though
the husbands work may take less time
than hers, 1t may be- more intense.
He may In reality be more tagged out
Bthan she is. Household work can be
sscamped q little every now and then
and the consequences are not SO seri-
GUS as when the girl in the factory
or the man in the Office tires 1t.
"But the fact remains that men
usually fail to appreciate the quantity
OF never ending work the housewife.
does. He does not understand that
she Is bothered with conscience
which does not permit her to shirk.
Everything must be done, and 1t must
be done Just so, In accordance with
the venerable rules which her mother
has passed down to her. The hus.
band In his ignorance thinks she
makes her work harder than 1t need
be.

housewife one wonders that so many
women are willing to get married.

riaEes and more happy homes II the
legislature were to pass ten hour law

The Capital suggests the organiza-
tion Of good roads clubs among the
young men in every township in the
state. Such clubs, 1t believes could
do much toward urging officials to a
full discharge of their duties In regard
to roads and could be helpful in many
other ways. "The American people,
the Capital adds, have quite gener-
ally entered upon the work of max
ing roads. States like Pennsylvania
and New York made laege appropria-
lions for permanent roads. The work
being done in Iowa is actually pre-
paration for more expensive roads
whenever the time shall come for
them"

RECIPROCITY.

Chicago Inter Ocean.-The small
town voter and the rural voter are be-
ginning to feel something OF the lean
times which the city voter has felt
of and on ever since 1907, and which
has been the inevitable result Of rais-
ing cain all the time and about every
thing.
And the rural and small town voters
have been and are doing some real
thinking. The signs are unmistak-
able. All present reports agree on
this point, even those from the north
west. $,
What the process OF this thinking is
may be most easily grasped II we recall
the difficulties Of the latter '70s and
early sos In persuading the farmer
that he had any real interest in pro-
Itective tariff. In the earlier Of those
years republicans of standing no UNI
wont to speak OF the tariff as "a war
amelforated now that the war was
over. The swingings Of the political
pendulum from 1879 to 1892 were the
result.
But in those years the argument OF
indirect benefit had been built up-the
argument OF ''the homo market" and
OF the truth that in the end we must
all stand or fall together. And this
argument had effect with the farmers.
Had William Mckinley lived to lead
his party through another four years
we might have had those rational re-
auctions and adjustments OF the Dings
ley schedules demanded by changing
Industrial conditions. In his very LAST
public words Mr.. Mckinley pointed
out the need of such reconsideration.
But, unfortunately, the public mind
was turned from sober thought about.
how most surely to make our prosperf /,
ity continuous to fault-nnding with
prosperity, and to suspecting every-i
body who was prosperous beyond the
average as probably criminal.
And so We had the Roosevelt panic.

Az the high cost OF living" was the
burden OF the insurgent chorus, and
that is mainly the cost Of foodstufs,
an effort was made by a peace-loving
president to placste these gentlemen
| by reducing the cost of foodstuffs by .
reciprocity agreement with Canada.
But It so happened that the consist.
uents OF the insurgent gentlemen are
those who have to meet the first cost
Of reciprocity. Consequently, seeing
what they have done-what resent
ments they have raised at home-the
insurgent leaders desert their princi.
lples, try, to eat their former words
and protest tearfully against the re-
suits that they themselves have
brought about.
/ Meantime, their own rural and
small town constituencies are seeing
their hollowness OF mind and their
paltriness Of morals. They see that
liz reciprocity is going to hurt. the in
surgents are responsible for the injury.
