Twelve Horses Fell Within Half an
Hour on This DANGEROUS Street,
o the Editor OF THE TIMkS:
Should be condemned and Amade.

To the Editor OF THE TIMkj:
Should be condemned and !made:
That piece Of street between Seventh
and Ninth streets northwest (Mt, Yer
non place) and especially that piece
halfway between Seventh and Eighth
streets; halfway between Ninth and
Eighth streets. After being sprinkled
or during a rain, 1t is dangerous to
be driven upon by teams. automobiles,
and bicycles-not that It is not paved,
but because It is improperly surfaced,
and this when wet and together with
grease and OIL as dropped by automo-
biles makes 1t a dangerous thorough
fare. 1t is not the grease and oil alone
at fault as one can drive from one end
to the other Of the thoroughfare-except
as mentioned-after a rain-or after II
Is sprinkled and not meet with . like
accident.
The forepart of the week as I sat in
my window. across from the Library, /
witnessed within half an hours time
twelve horses go down-to remain down,
until unhitched. The same morning /
saw two large touring cars and ped
dler's horse blocking traffic, the autos
turning halfway around; and when they
were getting Strengthened out down
went bicycle rider whose wheel shot
from under him. The cars were going at
what might be termed a low speed, as
the street was filled with vehicles. Since
l have started to write this, one Of a
team of fine blacks has gone under the
tongue and Is being unhitched; also a
team of bays to a large dray, both
down at the same time.
1t is not for the want Of proper shoe
ing The writer being a horseman has
observed the feet OF a number Of the
fallen hores- Not only peddler's poorly
shod horses, but the well shod coacher
take the slip. and their feet go from
under them so quick they land on their
sides with a grunt, seemingly being i'm
possible for them to get UP without
being unhitched, and, the most OF them
go away hmping. probably MANNED for
life, or made less Of value. No tell
ing how many have had beasts reduced
to the scrapheap since the street was
surfaced. and that has been for some
time, nevertheless the auto has come to
stay. 1t is nerve wracking to those of
us who reside on this street. who with
sorrow in our hearts are subjected to
the necessity of watching the poor dumb
beasts struggle and strain to regain
their feet and foothold, while the un-
warned driver continues to drive OF Of
properly surfaced streets unsuspec-
~ onto this imperfect dangerous bit
OF street. On invitation to attention is
here imploringly rendered to the prop
er department. A. X. g. RESIDENT.

CHECKMATED!

Of course, the proposition advanced by William
Finn, Governor Glasscock, and others that in event
Tafts nomination is pushed through the Republican
convention by steam roller the Republican electors
in progressive States that for Roosevelt will not
vote for Taft in the Electoral College, is revolu-
tonary
So is the action of the Republican national
committee now in session. The difference being
that the committee is rebeng against the regstra-
ton of the wishes of the people, while the electors
who would refuse to vote for Taft would be rebeng
against ignoring the wishes of the people.
Besides there is nothing in the Constitution,
which the Taft forces wont to recte, which COM
pels elector to support the candidate whose name
heads the ticket The scheme is absolutely consttu-
tional, and this should commend it to gentlemen
having judicial temperaments.
The squirming of the Taft forces upon finding
themselves checkmated after they have swapped a
castle, a bishop, two knights, and a queen for a
couple of pawns is amusing.

THE FANS IN ECSTASY.

1t is just possible that the Cleveland baseball
park is not the center of the universe there may be
other events the unfolding film of human events
such the fall of dynastes and the wreck of govern
ments; but if the people of the National Capital
know little of it and less Their civic pride is
stirred in admiration of Clark Grifath's winning
streak. The joyous contagion is spreading until it
has gathered in the gravest and most sedate
And why Shouldn't the pulse of the fans beat
high the pride of the citizen aspire? The Nationals
are not only creating enthusiasm, they are making
history. From the traditional owgrounds they have
climbed close to the summit Thirteen straight will
be remembered like the year of the Big Wind. There
will be something doing when the Nationals come
marching home.

NO CALL FOR TAFT.

Nobody has started the rumor evinced the fear,
or even expressed the hope that Taft will 60 to
Chicago and stampede the convention. On the
other hand, the Taft managers and the national COM
mittee would rather have Roosevelt enter the con-
venon hall at the head of his Rough Riders than to
have Taft haul his calm and judicial temperament
to Chicago and appear on the platform. Imagine
the effect of his making a speech to that body Of
delegates in which he should refer to himself as
"a man of straw" and "a rat in corner!'
The sergeant-at-arms and all the Chicago police
could not stop the stampede of the Taft delegates
from the hall!

TOO MUCH POLITICS?

The complaint that there is too much politics
at present comes largely from those who are annoyed
by the quality of current politics rather than by the
quantity. In the majority of cases the criticism
originates with those who are professional politicians,
and it is because the running of parties and the con-
sequent control of public affairs is being taken from
them, where it has been viciously abused unduly
long and restored to the people where should be,
that the allegation there is too much politics is being
made.
On the contrary there is not enough politics
of the right kind. The menace to the nation has
been the indifference of the people to their political
duties This is their Government, yet they have
permitted its management to fall into hands of the
few, either to be selfshy used by them or made the
object of barter to those who coveted the seats of
the mighty for unholy purposes.

THE FAMINE IN CRABS.

The crab market is menaced with famine The
hard shell is bringing what the soft shell fetched in
the normal season of other days; the soft shell is
decacy which ranks with ortolans and the tempting
crab flake is becoming costly as caviar. The mar
ket men stand on the wharf to meet incoming river
boats nquiring anxiously if they have not at last
brought real cargo from the old-time fishing
grounds, only to turn away disconsolate.
The situation calls for searching inquiry.
The best information obtainable indicates that the
fishermen are leaving the stream for the field. They
have abandoned, in large numbers, vocation which
in the happier history of the race was looked upon
as its own all sufficient reward If there were
little incidental revenue all the better, but the chief
end of man was to fish, and the lure of the waters,

PIONEER CITIZEN DEAD.

Forty-three years Of the active and successful
life of William Hahn, who passed away yesterday
in the ffty-nnth year of his age, were spent here
in the home of his adoption. In an humble way he
began business as a shoe merchant He lived to
see the enterprise in which he engaged as pioneer
become one of the largest in the National Capital.
His sterling character endeared him to all who
knew him, while he was always foremost in his
trbutions to charitable and civic undertakings. He
leaves large family and host of friends to mourn
his loss
