Cheap Food at 0ccoquan.

Either Supt Whitaker has slipped
a cog somewhere in his figures or else
he is the champion clearinghouse
keeper of the world According to a
report which he has made to the Dis
trict Commissioners the average cost
of feeding the inmates of the reforma-
tory at Oocoquan is s3.77 a month.
For month of thirty days this means
that the prisoners are fed at cost OF
a little over IL cents per day. II
they are given three meals a day, and
they can hardly get along on less, this
means that each meal costs 4 cents
Surely Mr. Whitaker has solved the
high cost of living when he can support
the husky, able-bodied men who are
sent to his institution on cents worth
of food at each meal,
Breakfast, dinner, and supper. each
for four pennies! 1t is an achievement
which excites our curiosity. Some de-
tails must be Forthcoming before we

The Retirement of Dr.. Gallaudet.

The retirement of DR.. Gallaudet as
president of the Columbia Institution
for the Deaf and Dumb deserves more
than perfunctory mention.
For ffty-four years Dr. Gallaudet
has worked unostentatiously but et-
fectively in this community. Under his
direction and tuition hundreds of young
men, unfortunately deprived Of the
sense of hearing and of speech, have
been equipped to make progress IN the
world. He has engaged in his work
with enthusiasm and industry. and the
result is a remarkable achievement.
1t is no wonder that his retirement
was made the occasion for the express
sion of appreciation of his labors. He
has been factor for substantial good
in the community.

with the hearty commendation of every
lover of children The actual cost of
operating these places of recreation on
that one day will be comparatively
small, while thousands of little ones will
be enabled to get breath of fresh air
on Sunday.
In no city of this country-so, at
least, the records show-are the chill
dren's Fairgrounds kept open on the
Sabbath. Still there should be no hest
fancy in Washington setting a precedent.
1t is a good one, a sanitary one, con-
ducive to health and physical develop
ment The children themselves will not
be the only ones to derive benefit from
it. On the other hand, thousands OF
parents who are unable to watch over
their offspring during the week will
be able TO take them to those little
parks On Sunday and watch them while
at play. 1t may enable many a father
to become better acquainted with his
children.

UNIFORM WINNERS
TO SELECT C0L0RS
Allowed Own Choice in The
Herald Contest.

Some captains who predict their teams
are sure winners" in The Washington
Herald Baseball Suit Contest, say they
prefer blue uniforms and white stock
ings, white cord and belt and white
stripes on the pants.
Now, in regard to color and arrange
ments of trimmings. the contest editor
wants to impress upon the boys that the
matter of selection rests entirely upon
them. There still seems to be the un-
derstanding among some of the boys that
they are not supposed to select the color
and style of their suits. That this mis-
taken idea may be cleared, the ten win
ners of the contest will be allowed alb
solutely to chose their own baseball
suits.
If the team desires white suits with
trimmings to match. it is entirely up to
them. They can have shirts made with
or without collars and monograms in old
English. or the full names of their team
across the chest.
The country boys are not taking the
interest or doing the amount of work
they should. For instance, the Kensing-
ton Stars are not keeping up the lively
pace they started with, and other teams
are backward, letting the city boys get
ahead of them.
There Is plenty Of room for new entries
from suburban points. and 1t is not too
late now to join in the contest.

day subscription will get 800 extra votes

The Exit of the Ashman.

still as ones conscience, and his horn,
like Job, was defiled in the dust.
Some time since the city fathers de-

Railroad for discriminating in rates in

Company, a subsidiary Of the steel trust.
was suddenly brought to a close to-day.
The testimony developed during the
hearing establishes a prima facie case Of
domination. at least, one of the great
railroad systems of the country by the
trust. Nearly every other big railroad
in the United States was cited in the
original complaint as equally culpable
as the Baltimore and Ohio in the matter
Of giving discriminatory freight rates to
the cement concern owned by the steel
trust. The record made UP in the hear.
ing also will show that directors Of the
steel trust are members of the control

In the Stanley resolution. calling for
the resolution that has been authorized
by the House oNRepresentatives, clause
was inserted as an amendment calling for
rigid inquiry into this phase of the

Not Cowardice, but Common Sense.

Senator Stone, of Missouri, will not
make capital either for himself or his
party by charging the administration
or the American people with cow
ardice because our army is not rushed
across the border into Mexico. 1t IS
true that some citizens of this country
have lost their lives because of bullets
fired on the other side of the Mexican
border. This occurrence Is lamenta0le,
but it is not cause for war.
And the invasion of Mexico by the
army of the United States under any
pretense whatever would be equivalent
to a declaration of war.
There has been no deliberate and
concerted attack upon the citizens of
this country. If that should happen,
as Senator Bailey truthfully remarked,
the people of El Paso would not wait
for the Federal government to come to
their assistance They know. however,
that the tragedy, unfortunate though II
be. was not inexcusable or altogether
unavoidable
There is. however, another side of
the question. Under the treaty of I84S
both the United States and Mexico
agree, in the case of any political or
commercial agreement, to endeavor in
the most sincere and earnest manner
to settle the differences so arising and
to preserve the state of peace and
friendship in which the two countries
are now placing themselves. using for
this end mutual representations and
pacific negotiations" Then the treaty
continues:
And if by these means they should
not be enabled to come to an agreement,
resort shall not on this account be had
10 repriSals. aggression. or hostility of
any kind by the one republic against
the other until the government of that
which deems itself aggrieved shall have
maturely considered in the spirit of
peace and good neighborship, whether
it would not be better that such diff
ference should be settled by the arbi
tration of commissioners appointed on
each side or by that of a friendly ma
ton And should such course be pro-
posed by either party it shall be acceded
TO by the other, unless deemed by it
altogether incompatible with the nature
of the difference or the circumstances of
the case.
This language is plain and un-
equivocal 1t means that the United
States and Mexico must do everything
in their power to avoid conflict, and
certainly neither President Taft nor
Congress would be justified in COM
mitting any overt act until every pos
sible means of reaching an amicable
understanding had been exhausted
Senator Stone will not arouse a rip
pie OF Indignation because he taunts
us with being the inert and degenerate
sons of noble sires. The country will
not take such talk seriously. When the
occasion demands patriotic action the
nation will respond 1t will not, how
ever, bluster blindly into war nor ag-
gravate into resentment a nation with
which we are now at peace.

The session includes representatives
from practically every Eastern city of
the United States. and of the cities of
the Middle West and the Pacific Slope.
At last nights session Joseph Lee.
president of the New York Fairgrounds
Association, occupied the chair.
The discussion was devoted to organ
ization and placement of Fairgrounds.
The national organization finds it
self confronted with problems deeper
than those presented for discussion and
action by the local associations" said
Mr.. Moses. The national organization
looks to the creation of a sentiment ia
voring Fairgrounds where such do not
now exist, and the creation of favor
able sentiment in localities where the
Fairgrounds propaganda has not here
tofore been heard.
Wholesome Recreation.
Prof. L. Fl. Bailey. of Cornell Univer-
sity, chairman OF the committee on rural
recreation. last night explained the i'm
portance of renewing and vitalizing coun-
try life by wholesome recreation. He in
sisted this should originate in the rural
districts themselves, that the natural ex-
preston of the life of country people was
to be preferred to the artificial recrea-
tions suggested by outside influence.
Representative William Kent, of Cali
fornia. gave a description of the recrea-
ton center at Kentfield, that State.
To-day's session will begin with a lee
ture on playground equipment by E. B.

CURIOUS BITS OF HISTORY
By A. w. MACY.
THE FIRST RAILROADS.

THE FIRST RAILROADS.
The first railroad in the United
States, in the modern sense of the
term, was the Baltimore and Ohio.
One or two little roads had been
built before, but they were mere
tramways, operated by force OF
gravity or by stationary engines.
The Baltimore and Ohio was char
tered in 1927, and its construc-
tion begun in 1928. the first rail
being laid on July 4 Of that year.
The work did not go forward
very fast, only thirteen miles be-
ing open for traffic in 1880. After
that, however, better progress
was made, and five years later
135 miles were in operation. The
first railroad built in England
was the Stockton and Darlington.
twenty-five miles long. 1t was
opened for traffic in 1925; hence

modern meaning of the term, be-
