this country would occur the new birth
Of Christ. the second coming, which
would be revealed by woman.
Coming down to the time of the
Lords Supper, when Jesus sat with His
disciples, the composition Of that group
outlined and prophesied the American
flag. Human perfection. however, could
not be reached until more of the femi-
nine had entered into the spirit Of life,
and centuries OF turmoil and bloodshed
were to intervene before America was
discovered. Then 1t was destined that
womanhood for the first time should
become a strong factor in the shaping
of prosperity. the making Of history,
and should reveal the new Christ in
the second coming Of the Christ spirit. Z"

into the seat of an aeroplane. Hoxsey
and Johnstone were names that be-
came famous overnight. Now, Pierre
Prier, with 10 other excuse than that
adventurous name, plucks the dia-
mond trophy of the most fascinating
of all sports. With science, as. with
new countries, the discoveries seem
to go not SO much to the men who
are informed as to those who dare.

FORESAW REACTION
AGAINST SOCIALISM
To the Editor Of THE TINES:

10 the Editor OF THE TIMES:
In a letter to The Washington Times,
dated November Is, 1910. 1 maintained
that there can be no substantial growth
Of Socialism or the red flag sentiment
In the United States. Moreover, ] also
predicted that the Socialist wave which
swept Victor Berger and several other
lesser Socialists into Office would sub
side as soon as the people became IA
miliar with the real aims and doctrines
of Socialism. That this statement was
more than a mere conjecture is evi-
denced by the result of the recent cleo
ton In milwaukee,, where all of the
Socialist candidates met a decisive de-
feat. Their candidate for judge was
votes cast. The Socialist school board
candidates shared similar fate.
This election Is a decided change from
the landslide of a year ago, when the
Socialists of Milwaukee carried prac-
ticalIy every city office.
The most significant feature of the re-
cent election in Milwaukee,, however,
was the fact that the voters repudia-
ted Socialist policies as well as indi-
viduals.
The recent municipal elections in
many of the cities throughout the
State of Kansas also proved anything
but encouraging to the followers of the
revolutionary doctrines of Socialism. In
Wichita, where a full Socfalistic ticket
was in the field, not one Socialist can
didate was elected. II. T. Warren, edi-
tor of the Appeal to Reason, who was
candidate on the Socialist school board
ticket in Girard, was defeated. Mr..
Warren. who has been posing as
martyr to the cause of free speech, evi-
IDENTIFY did not get much sympathy from
the voters in his town.

COMMISSIONERS TAKE AD-
vANCED POSITION.

Advanced position on two vital pub,
lie questions-the opening up of new
residence sections and the extension oi
street railway lines-is taken by the
District Commissioners in their recon-.
mendation for legislation affecting the
development of the territory in the
northwest between Connecticut avenue
and Wisconsin avenue.
The Commissioners have prepared
bill requiring the Washington Rail-
way and Electric Company to operate
double-track line from Eighteenth
street and Columbia road in a north
westerly direction to Wisconsin avenue
and Macomb street. The bill requires
the street car company to grade the
street for twenty feet on each side OF
its tracks and to pave it for eighteen
feet. To make all points within the
territory served accessible from the
street railway lines several short streets
will have to be opened. The Commits
sioners recommend that the property
necessary for these streets be donated
by those who own it, and that the ex-
pense Of improving the streets thus
acquired be borne py the owners Of
abutting property.
The District as a whole, by this
process, will obtain a new residence
section, supplied with street railway
service, without paying dollar for it.
This is a vast improvement over the
practice of opening up suburban streets
at the expense of the general public.
The proposal that the street railway
company bear a substantial portion Of
the expense of making q suburb de-
sirable for habitation Is also a sign of
marked progress. The real estate de-
veloping companies and the street rail-
way companies reap the bulk of the
benefits provided by the people who
become residents Of the suburbs, and it
is nothing more than common justice
to require them to pay the initial cost
of public improvements.

THE BUSH LEAGUE SEASON
ALSO BEGINS.

A dozen cities are already in the
delirium of professional baseball, and
the more trifing affairs of life, such
as making a living, have been dis
missed with the lofty scorn they de-
serve. The favored ones are enjoying
to the fullest extent the privilege of
living in the big towns where Presi-
dents, or city fathers, as the case may
be, mingle with the common welter of
humanity in the comradeship of joy.
But let it not be supposed that all
the interest in the national game is
concentrated in the leagues which can
afford to pay a pet pitcher the price
of an acre of improved real estate for
every game, and willow stick be-
meath the rule of men entirely great
becomes very wand of wizardy. The
bush league has its claims. Its season
may be somewhat more irregular, but
what it lacks in regularity is made
up in enthusiasm. The amiable rivalry
between Detroit and Philadelphia, for
example, is downright brotherhood
compared with the emulation which
stirs Podunk to put one over on
Possum Trot. The uniforms are fear
fully and wonderfully made. They
are hybrid of the high school blouse
and Zouave bag-trousers handed down
from the last fancy dress ball. The
osnaberg cap proclaims above its visor
the excellence of familiar brand of
bicarbonate or the merits of a soft
drink. In the more prosperous clubs
there are at least two pairs of sox of
the same general colcr.
And yet out in the vacant lot beyond
the railroad tracks the embryo Lajoies
and Cobbs and Wagners are playing
the game for all It is worth and the
spirit of civic pride runs high. Only
the bad workman quarrels with his
tools and the medley of equipment
puts no damper on the soaring ambi-
ton of the aspirants for big league
honors. And it is from these humble
beginnings that the artists of tomor-
row come. The sagebrush has heard
the cry, sPlay ball!" and the corner
grocery is stampeded by the magic
of Batter upl" The largest of all the
leagues is getting down to work.

SURVIVAL OF FITTEST
VS.. SANITARY WORK
To the Editor Of THE TIMES:

To the Editor Of THE TIMES:
Pseudo scientists have often made
the contention that the improved
medical and surgical methods Of the
past century, movements for tene-
ment reform, and other forms of prog
ress which tend to prevent the kill
ing off of weaklings, Will In the end
injure the race. They argue that all
such agencies as disease, extreme
poverty, and hereditary weakness are
natures ways Of securing the survival
of the fittest, and that to interfere
with them means the perpetuation Of
the unfit.

This Is no advertisement for a new

that tired feeling, and do people get on
your nerves? Do you secretly yearn to
be .oved by taller man, or a richer
one? Is your life embittered by a re
trousse nose, or sandy hair? Or have
you failed to accumulate great wealth?
Then what will you give me to tell you
the short cut to love, health, power.

you on the road to everlasting success ?

NV authority on circles in general is
Madame Adele Marie Rique. who has
founded THE Circle Of Universal Soul
Freedom" IN New York, where every
thing begins. and many things end. At
the Willard Hotel this morning Madame
Rique, who is in Washington with an
eye to taking a few more souls into her
universal soul freedom circle. found
time to explain her cult after discours-
ing on the unworthiness Of man, and of
the church.
Easy For
Women to Get In.
TT Is far easier for the women to en-
ter the circle than men," declared
Madame Rique, for the reason that
man has retrograded until today he
stands as pitiable creature. It is
woman who has reached the pinnacle of
opportunity and of power. Man will
continue to fall back; will retrograde
further, but he will not be lost. The
hand of woman will reclaim him in the
end.
The church can do nothing for him.
That institution has outlived its useful
ness It is like an old man who has
lost his faculties. The day has passed
when creeds can satisfy. Men and
women must find energizing new forces
in the faith which they embrace"
Hence the soul freedom circle which
