SAY HEALTH DEMANDS
OPENING OF HIGHWAYS
Barry Farm Bill in Senate Has the
Endorsement of the
Commissioners.

Backed by the Recommendation of the
Commissioners that the proper safeguard
ing of health demands its immediate en-
actment. Il bill providing for the Open
ing. widening and extension of highways
within and adjacent to Barry Farm SUBJ
division beyond Anacostia has been in
troduced by Senator Gallinger, chairman
of the Senate District committee.
While ii may be far cry from health
to highways, the Commissioners explain
the connection by pointing out that UNI
less this legislation Is enacted sewer and
water mains cannot be extended to the
residences in the subdivision and that
present conditions do not properly safe
guard the health of it's residents.
The Barry Farm subdivision Is between
Anaacostia and the grounds of the Gov
ernmept Hospital for the Insane. When
it was subdivided in 1867 the lots ran to
the center of the highways. Taxes are
not paid on the lots running to the center
of the roads.
1t is the purpose Of the bill to condemn
the highways, which are now private
property and make them public streets
in order that they may be improved.
Under the present situation. however, no
public funds can be expended In the i'm
provement of the streets because they are
private property.
This situation has made it impossible to
furnish sewerage and water facilities to
the property.

competition among the railroads waS

able that the trust, In fagrant violaI

succeeded In developing In about ave
years. while the trust was stolid from
monopoly, a substantially complete
system of shoe machinery which many
good judges declared to be superior
TO that OF the trust.
George w. Perkins, apostle OF the
economic and social efficiency OF
monopoly, quoted to the senate com

statement that:

opposed to new processes and prod

consequently tend to discourage inde

II is very good proof of the abiding
sense of humor in the American people
that in those troubled and positively
dangerous days (of the Revolution)
they were able to see and enjoy the
ludicrous side of the warfare. Not in
frequently they sized upon the very
satires of the enemy and hurled them
back In his teeth.
Yankee Doodle" for instance, has
for itself just such a history. The
tune of this popular ballad Is older
than most of the existing nations. In
the Twelfth Century IL was used as
a chant in Catholic churches Of Italy
and when played slowly doubtless
served very well as sacred aid.
But the melody was too easily
learned to remain in such a limited
service and after 1900 we find 1t grad
ually working its way into the daily
life OF the ordinary peasant. II be
came a most popular vintage song in
Spain and Southern France; reached
northward into Holland, where, as a

HOME RULE FACTIONS

BELFAST, Sept. 25.-News that
$50 900 was subscribed by Irish-Amer
leans at Philadelphia, Monday night
in furtherance of the home rule cam
paign, had the same effect upon the
speakers at today's Orange meeti2s
at Portadown, County Armagh, as
waving red rag has upon a vicious
bull.
The gathering was enormous. Thou
sands listened to denunciations by Q
long list of speakers. OF home rulers
generally and John Redmond and
Dollar dictators," in particular. The
usual procession followed, durinG
which several clashes occurred be
tween the home rule and antthome

The Orange leaders again urged
their followers not to resort to viol
ence until passive resistance" has
failed and again their followers paid
no attention to them. The outlook
for serious trouble Is considered

The Wastes of Monopoly

More and more the campaign Is
coming down to two pressing issues,
the tariff and the proper treatment
Of monopolies. Golfers actively dis
agrees with the view OF monopoly be-
ing urged by Messrs Roosevelt, Per-
klns, and Gary. They talk a great
deal about the wastes OF competition.
The necessary wastes OF competition
are relatively insignificant, and the
wastes OF unfair and destructive COM
petition are wholly unnecessary. They
will be largely eliminated when com
petition Is regulated. The LaFollette-
Lenroot and the Stanley bills to per
feet the sherman law. and the New
lands-Cummins proposals for an inter
state trade commission, are all direct
ed. In part, to that end. The remain
ing wastes OF competition may be lik-
ened to the wastes OF democracy.
These are obvious: but we know also
that democracy has compensations
which render II more efficient than
absolutism. So II is In industry. The
margin between what men naturally
do and what they can do Is 80 great
that the system which urges men on
to effort Is the best system.
The necessary wastes OF monopoly,
on the other hand. are enormous.
Some OF these can, OF course. he elm.
mated by regulation. An efficient In
terstate trade commission. acting un-
der appropriate legislation, could put
an end to much of the oppression OF
which trusts have been guilty. il
could prevent ruthless and unfair use
OF power. But a government commits
sion would be powerless to secure for
the people the low prices commonly
attendant upon competition. AS nc
means exists for determining whether
| greater net earnings are due to great
er efficiency In management or TO ex
cessive profits, large net earnings
would be followed by compulsory re
duction OF prices. which in3turn would
create a sense OF injustice suffered
paralyze individual enterprise. and
produce unprogressive. sliphod man
agement. The attempt to secure low
prices through price fixing would
prove as impotent as the statutes
which have sought to protect the pup

dividends.
