SENATOR MARTINS ETHICS
OF POLITICS.

Thomas S. Martin, Senator from
Virginia and candidate for reelection,
was confronted with a letter, written
several years ago. It related to the
extraction of campaign funds from
the railroad managers who operate in
Virginia. Martin, as head of the or
ganization and chief sandbagger for
the swag, was called on to explain. He
did; thus:
railroad managers when we went to
them and asked for campaign contri-
buttons? Do you suppose we told them
that We looked upon them as public
was elected we would see &c It that
they were outlawed and punished as
evil-doers? On the contrary, fellow
citizens, / argued with them that they
were the guardians Of large interests:
that they were deeply interested in the
Democratic party had treated them
fairly and justly, and that they could
rely on receiving in the future, as they
had In the past, fair and just treat
We certainly made the argument to
the railroad managers. that they had
been treated fairly and justly, and that
we believed they would continue to re-
ceive fair and Just treatment.
Perfectly good explanation, that.
Probably they will cotton to it fine,
down in Virginia; they must like that
sort of explanation for they have kept
Martin here long time.
But if M. Martin thinks that is a
perfectly good explanation, doesn't he
feel the need of explaining the rank
demagoguery that was involved in
the passage by Congress, three weeks
ago, of a bill which ABSOLUTELY
PROHIBITS ANY CORPORATION
FROM CONTRIBUTING TO THE
CAMPAIGN FUND OF ANY CAM.

SUBURBAN CARS
SHOULD ENTER CITY

To the Editor Of THE TINES:
AS view public matters, a paper
which writes as strong an editorial
as appeared in your issue Of yester-
day concerning the matter of subur-
ban cars entering the District over
lines are too parsimonious or narrow
minded to extend their own lines into
the suburbs, / think deserves public
commentator.
ty, Va, having a home on the line of
the Great Falls and Old Dominion
railway, one Of the best operated su-
burban railroads entering the Dis
trict. A couple Of months ago wrote
The Times a letter advocating Just
what you so ably state In your edi-
torial, that the cars of that railroad
should be transferred to the rails OF
the Capital Traction Company at
Thirty-sixth and NJ streets and come
class of people are more sensitive to
Comment than those who operate pub
lie utilities. All public regulation has
been brought about because these men
advantages that would come to their
roads by giving consideration to those
who pay the fares, as well as to those
who receive the dividends. This is
evidenced in the safety appliance laws
on steam railroads and by such laws
as you mention in the middle West
forcing the city lines to permit the
cars Of suburban lines to come down
into the city.
The cars Of the Great Falls line are
equipped with underground trolley and
cross the Aqueduct bridge from Vir-
ginia to Thirty-sixth and NJ streets, and
wind up within twenty feet of the rails
of the Capital Traction Company, and
yet wives, mothers. and little children
are dumped out into the rain from one
car and transferred to another, to be
transported to their destinations in the
city. The continuance Of such a prac-
tice is a reflection upon the intelligence
Of the people.
While 1 can enter passenger car and
ride from Washington to San Francisco,
to Chicago, to New York, to Boston. or
to St. Louis without getting out of my
seat after leaving Washington, yet,
under the prehistoric methods Of the
Capital Traction Company, 1 cannot go
four miles into the country without
making a change in cars. Good luck to
your campaign for an Improvement.
Yours truly,
FRANK LYON.
