ANASOSllAt -. S-g JUNE 4O-
Citizens Of Anacostia have taken up
for adjustment two questions affecting
the operation OF the street car system
provided by the Washington Railway
and Electric Company. One Of these In
wolves the proposed underground install
lation along Nichols avenue. from the
Anacostia bridge southwark to Talburtt
street, relative to which the Commls-
sioners have reported unfavorably, on
account of the unstable state OF the NIL
at the bridge, and 1t is on this point
that the citizens are seeking enignteh-
ment The other matter concerns the
operation of the Anacostia street cars
from the city by way Of the Union sta
ton during the rush hours Of the eve
ming, and the District Railway Commls-
sion has been invoked to cause the
maintainence Of a proper schedule.
These matters were called up at the
meeting last evening of the Anacostia
Citizens Association, members OF WHICH
made some vigorous expressions rela-
tive to the unsatisfactory situation.
Comment was aroused over the letter
read by Secretary Oscar H. Osterman
from Capt. Mark Brooke, the assistant
Engineer Commissioner, who in reply to
the request made by the association for
copies of the two latest reports sub
mitted by the District engineers re-
garding the settlement of the viaduct
at the southern end Of the Anacostia
bridge, stated that no reports have been
made by his office covering this sub
ject. 1t was brought out in the dis
cussion carried on by President Charles
r. Burr. w. w. Tolson, and others that
the presumption was the Commissioners
had based their unfavorahle report on
official data presented to them, In view
of which understanding 1t was not clear
just what was to be gathered from
Captain Brooke's communication.
In order to straighten out this phase
of the subject IL was voted TO place II
in the hands of President Burr, John
F. Earnshaw, chairman of the rail-
road committee, and Maurice Otterback.

way Commission, indicating that COM
plants have been filed on the part OF
citizens of Anacostia over the schedule
maintained by the Washington Railway
and Electric Company on its Union Sta
ton branch in connection with the op-
Grafton OF the cars to Anacostia from
4:SO o'clock p. m. onward. The railway
commission was told that the schedule
outlined bv II a number Of months
ago is not being adhered to, citizens be-
ing required to wait for a car on the
branch line referred to from five 10

Closely related to the Joy rider, by
ties of bloodshed, is the Joy hunter who
is the pest OF the woods and fields every
autumn. Generally speaking he kills
very little game, but now and again
he bags his unoffending fellowman,
and often he kills a domestic animal
upon somebody's farm and slips away
like the Joy rider who leaves his vic
tim writhing in the road.
Real hunters are fairly safe from
real hunters, but nobody is safe from
the fool with the gun, for no gun is
fool proof. a late report OF a tragedy
in the woods is that two Minnesota
hunters were fred upon while SHINING
a moose, and one was killed. "Other
hunters evidently mistook them for
game according to the report OF the
resident correspondent.
What sort of game do two men skin
ming a moose look like? Only II hunter
not used to guns and game could mis-
take them for wild animals. But just
that type Of hunter is everywhere in
the autumn woods. That is why it is
Just about as risky for a hunter TO
range the woods as for deer
Perhaps there may come a time
when both hunters and chauifeurs will
be required 10 produce n certificate OF
mental balance and experience before
being licensed.

Deafness Cannot be Cured.

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inhamed condition of the mucous
lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inhamed you have rum
bling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, Deafness is
the result, and unless the Inflammation
can be taken out and this tube restor-
ed to its normal condition, hearing will
be destroyed forever; nine cases out of
ten are caused by Catarrh, which is
nothing but an intlamed condition of
the mucous surfaces.

The Spreading Revolution.

BY more than three votes TO one
| California adopted the initiative ant
referendum and the recall. 1t is mat
ter for grave consideration when ar
American commonwealth Of 2,jO0,00(
inhabitants, of high average intelli
gence and destined with the opening Of
the Isthmian canal To a swift growth
in every attribute of greatness, casts
in its lot with the revolution which
seeks to subvert republican institutions
and American representative govern
ment. Where is this work of destruc-
tion to stop?
Whatever measure we have attained
of freedom, Of prosperity, of orderly
development, has been gained under
representative government. Californ-
la votes to { scard it. Our ancestors
built a guarded system of checks and
balances wherein power was divided
between legislative, executive and
judicial departments, SO that none
might tyrannize. California dethrones
all three. We live under system
that lessons the shock of sudden revul-
sions in public opinion by devices OF
delay for reflection in the senates and
in the process of court review. Cali
tornia prefers that pure democracy
shall grasp the power to decide in haste
and repent at leisure.
Direct government is not refinement
of progress. 1t is areversion to rude
and primitive type properly surviving
in town-meetings where voters are not
too many to meet in a single hall. In
larger communities it is historic fall
ure. Athens with $4,000 freemen and
horde OF slaves set out under direct
government to rule and rob the world.
Every sep in the career of expansion
that ruined her was carried by the sol
der, sailor, merchant and adventnrer
vote in open meeting. It's wisest coun-
sellers were banished by the "recall. l"
It's seeming success was far brlefer
than our nation has already achieved.
Direct government appears in its
most extreme and dangerous form in
the recall of Judges, which California
swallows with the rest. In this ad-
mirabe veto of the first statehood bill
because of this provision in the Arizo-
ma constitution, President Taft said:
"Real reforms are not to be effected by
by patent shortcuts or by abolishing
those requirements which the expert
fence Of ages has shown to be essential
in dealing Justly with every one" the
cour is are the safeguard of individuals
They watch over the rights of minori-
ties. They protect freedom-when
they themselves are free.
The recall of judges is not adopted
in order that unjust judges may be re-
called but that all Judges may be con-
stantly held in the haunting fear Of re
moval and disgrace if in giving just
judgment they run counter to some
momentary gust of public opinion.

THURSDAY, NOV. Is, 1911.

Much has been said and written
about the large number OF Americans
who have been leaving the United
States TO take up their residence IN
Canada. The Canadian census figures
show that their is no cause for alarm
on the part of the people OF this coun-
try. The Canadian officials have been
claiming that more than 2,OOO,ooo inn
migrants settled in Canada in the past
decade. OF this number they have es-
timated that 100000 were Americans.
The Canada census was generally
forecast at 1000, 900 inhabitants. The
actual returns show about I,loO,Ooo,
and the total increase OF population IN
ten years is approximately l,75O,OOO. 1t
is evident that if 100000 immigrants
arrived in Canada in the last ten years
majority of them did not stay long,
There are more people in the State OF
New York by nearly 100000 than in
the whole of Canada. The population
of the State of Pennsylvania is greater
than that of Canada. The increase in
the population of New York in the past
decade was greater than the increase
in Canada. and the increase in Penn
sylvania was almost as great The In
crease in all Canada was not so large
as that in the three States OF Washing
ton, Oregon and California.
There has been a considerable move
ment of Americans to Canada, but 1t
has not been permanent or 1t has been
counterbaanced by the migration OF
Canadians to the United States. In
any event it has not been as formidable
rs many Americans have been dispos.
ed to regard it, which speaks well for
the good sense OF the people OF the
United States. Canada may be a pro.
ductive country, but there Is still nc
lack of land or opportunity in the
United States.
