Electric Roads for Freight Traffic.

The decision of the Interstate Com
merce Commission, requiring steam rail-
roads to accept traffic from electric
roads, is an important recognition of the
electrically operated line and will be
of special significance in many sections
of the country where territory hitherto
monopolized for freight traffic by steam
railroads has gradually been invaded by
interurban electric lines, nominally for
passenger service. but capable of utiliza-
ton for freight as well
The status of the electric road was one
OF the points OF contention in the discus
sion of the amendments to the inter
state commerce law before Congress
a year ago. and the principle which the
commission now sets forth was urged
at that time as essential to the full utili
zation of electrically operated franchises
as feeders and distributors for the steam
railroad systems The sympathetic at
titude of the Interstate Commerce Com
mission is likely to help materially in
the development of electric systems in
territory.

INEBRIATE ASYLUM NEEDED.
Strong Argument for Establishing &
Institution.
he Washington Evening Star.

From the Washington Evening Star.
The need of a local hospital as a place
of special treatment for inebriates has
long been known and admitted in Wash
ington. The present practice of confin-
ing dipsomaniacs and drug victims in a
penal institution is suggestive of by
gone age These unfortunates need
treatment. judicious encouragement and
some measure of restraint. But what
they do not need is punishment The
workhouse is not the best place for al
coholic slaves, but the District is under
the necessity of sending them there
New York and other States have not
only recognized the wisdom of provid-
ing special asylums for this class Of
derelictS, but have actually provided
them The results have justified their es-
tablishment- With correct treatment ap-
parently chronic drunkardS frequently
recover, and thereafter lead useful lives.
Convict treatment. prison rules and Jail
fare have been found not conducive to
the best results in dealing with drunk
ards.
The establishment of an inebriate hos
pftal in Washington has been often urged
and repeatedly commended by authorities
on alcoholic disease and by public Off
GERS. There will be a renewal of effort
to secure such a place for the District
The Columbia Heights Citizens Associa-
ton took up the question at its meet
ing last night, and II was announced
that cooperation looking to the estab-
lishrnent of an inebriate asylum would
be solicited from the various citizens
associations OF the District, the Board
of Trade, Chamber of Commerce, and
other influential bodies of the people.

"A Blow to the Coal-carrying Roads.

The judgment handed down by the
Supreme Court of the United States in
the Lchigh Valley Railroad case is in
the nature of an explanation of its for
mer decision Its effect will be to make
operative the commodities clause in the
railway rate law. The first decision
held that the provision of that law which
forbids a railroad company from trans
porting commodities mined, manufac-
tured, or produced by itself does not
forbid a railroad company from carrying
the commodities Of a corporation in
which the transporting company holds
stock. This seemed to decide that the
commodities clause could be evaded by
the lnterpostlon of a secondary COM
pany, owning the commodities and itself
owned by the transportation company.
The Supreme Court, in its present
decision. rejects this Interpretation. 1t
says that nothing in its decision will pre-
vent the government from questioning
the power of a railroad company to
transport commodities of a corporation
in which the power of the railroad as
stockholders was used to obliterate all
distinction between the corporations and
50 to commingle their affairs as to cause
both parties to be one for all purposes
The inference is that, if this practical
:
one of them may not transport the COM
modities of the other The first decision
of the Supreme Court apparently rem
dered the clause ineffective The re-
cent declaration gives it life and power,
and railroad companies which produce
freight for themselves through con-
trolled companies will have to reorgan-
ize their business.

a Hospital for Inebriates.

1t is gratifying to note that the recent
appeal of The Washington Herald for
the erection here of a hospital for in
ebriates has met with widespread af-
frnative response The necessity for
such an institution is most apparent
There is no reason why persons unfor-
tunately addicted to alcoholism should
be sent to the workhouse except that
there is, no other refuge provided for
them by the municipality. Every hu-

against this disposition of the cases.
Not only have a number of citizens
associations voiced their appeal for the
hospital, bun the Chamber of Commerce

The Latest Paternalistic Idea.

Serious consideration is now being
given in New York to the question of
affording free dental service in the pub
lie schools. Perhaps law" says the
New York Times, making the care of
the teeth compulsory among all grades
of pupils in public schools, and per-
hitting them to avail themselves without
charge OF the services of corps of den-
fists paid out of the hospital funds,
would afford a proper solution of the
problem
More and more is there a tendency to-
ward solving community difficulties by
passing laws and regulations which re-
lieve the individual of all responsibility.
1t is a tendency which thoughtful
minds must necessarily view with some
anxiety, for unless there is some check
to its growth the individual who believes
in letting each man work out his own
salvation with as little governmental in
reference as possible will stand almost
alone The Transformation of popula-
ton into a flock of human sheep has un-
desirable features 1t tends to weaken
individual responsibility, to deaden am
bition. and to attenuate fiber No one
will dispute the desirability of keeping
school children's teeth in a wholesome
condition Few will question the vir-
tues of an active feeling of responsibility
by the parent toward his family, Com
pulsory and free dentistry provided by
the municipality would meet the first
requirement. but it would also neutral
ize the duty of the parent, a considcra-
tion which does not seem in these mod
ern days to have much weight.

PLAN TO HELP
UNFORTUNATES
Commissioner Rudolph's Eff
fort to Relieve Distress.

The widespread appeal for the estab-
lishment of a hospital for inebriates in
this city has awakened the deep interest
of Commissioner Rudolph, and it is prob
able that through his efforts some prog
resS will be made toward relieving the
distress of the unfortunates who, have
been and are still being committed to
the workhousc.
Commissioner Rudolph will confer to-
day or tomorrow with Judges Mullowny
and Pugh, of the Police Court for the
purpose of enlisting their interest in a
plan to place dipsomaniacs in a private
institution, so as to give them an op-
portunity to receive medical treatment.
1t is understood that an arrangement can
be made which will allow the unfortu-
mates to be cared for without cost to
either themselves or the District

Queer Laws of Gravitation.

A man falling from a three-story build
ing In New Orleans will not fall as fast
as he would If he were in New York
City, according to DR.. (. D. Higgins, of
New Orleans, who is at the New Ebbitt.
DR.. Higgins is a scientist, and Is here on
special studies at the Department of
Agriculture.
This is because, as We go toward the
equator. the force of gravity gets less
and less. and consequently the accelera-
ton of a falling body is reduced, and the
force of impact is therefore less.
While it does not make very much
difference to a person falling from a
height, so far as the injury sustained Is
concerned, it does make a difference in
other things Take a rifle and fire II
exactly horizontally, and If the gun is
sixteen feet above the ground, say, at
New York, the bullet fired will strike
the ground in exactly one second after it
leaves the rife II the bullet has a hori-
zontal velocity of 1,000 feet per second
1t will strike the earth exactly 1000 feet
away. Let US take the same rife to a
place where the force of gravity is not
the same as at New York. but a good
deal smaller. We find that if the gun
is placed sixteen feet above the ground
as before, and absolutely horizontal, the
bullet will not fall the sixteen feet in
one second, but will take over one and
a half seconds to fall. Therefore ii will
strike the ground about 1,6O0 feet away
Thus it is seen that the range OF a
rife is increased as il is taken toward
the equator"

MoBERLY BELL.
Influential Chief of London Times
Little In Evidence Before Public.

From the Boston Transcript
The anonymity of journalism Is newly
affirmed by the death of the managing
director of the London Times, Mr.. c. F.
Moberly Bell For although he exerted
wide and vital influence on the contem-
porary opinion not only of Englishmen
and English affairs, but on world events,
he was little in evidence before the public,
His cloud-compelling was invisible. For
eighteen years, beginning in 1890 he par
ticipated in the counsels of the Thun-
derer" as its assistant manager, a post
which, while II does not carry the large
responsibilities and the equally large op-
portunities of that to which he succeeded.
had its scope among the multitude of de-
tails which make much OF the influence
especially of a journal like the Times.
Moberly Bell had been the Times cor
respondent in Egypt twenty-five years
previous to his assumption of the admin
istrative office. He had been schooled in.
the ideals of sobriety, justice, and accu-
racy which give the Times its unique posi-
ton among the newspapers of our day,
and though II was unkindly intimated,
when he so bitterly fought (and pre-
vailed) against the proposal that the
Times should pass into the hands of a
yellow syndicate. that he was aware
that II the syndicate came in he would go
out. il is probable that what animated
him was zeal for the principles of fair
Journalism for which he had stood during
his long association with the people. Not
to have opposed the change as bitterly as
he did would have been regarded by the
average Britop as fat treason.
At all events. under the new dispensa-
ton, he remained as managing director,
which post he filled up to his sixty-fourth
year. The only occasion in recent years
where he has been prominently before the
public was when he appeared to give
some sane advice on divorce publicity to
the commission now examining into the
law of divorce in England. In him Eng
land has lost a wise and able appraiser
of events.
