SLOWING DOWN THE FASTEST TRAINS

The New York Central and Pennsylvania rail-
roads have united in an arrangement to add two
hours to the time of the fastest trains between New
York and Chicago; that is, the eghteen-hour trains
will become twenty-hour trains. This arrangement,
it is explained, is for the winter only, and the eight
een-hour schedule will be resumed in the spring
1t is to be hoped that the faster schedule will
never be restored until conditions warrant it better
than they do now. Entirely aside from the danger
of such speed, the inconvenience and delays i'm
posed other traffic in order that remarkable speed
may be made by few very fast trans are not at all
justified by the benefits either the public or the
roads derive from the special service.

A TIP TO THE "POWERS."

The powers of Europe are fearfully worried
about the problem Of distributing the territory of the
Balkan peninsula. AS the territory isn't theirs, as
the people in it don't want them to distribute it, as
they hopeessy unable to agree how to distribute
it, and as they very liable to be dragged into
huge war if they try to distribute it, why shouldn't
they be sensible and not try?
The Balkan allies have just about finished all the
bloodletting that is necessary preliminary solu-
tion of that problem. The business will be best done
by them, and the doing will cost an unnecessary
drop of blood. Why earth take the chance of a
bigger war following this big one merely in order
that difficult task may be done worse rather than
better?

GOMPERS ON BERGER'S DEFEAT.

Samuel Gompers has expressed satisfaction over
the defeat of Congressman Berger, the Milwaukee
Socialist who the lone representative of his rap
idly growing party in Congress. He thinks the re-
verses of the Socialists in Milwaukee and some other
places will help the cause of union labor
Perhaps. But it is not apparent why anybody
should rejoice over the loss of single Congressman
by party that polls nearly million votes. Mr..
Berger has been on the whole useful Congressman
He has made good many people realize that the
Socialists are not anarchists. He has demonstrated
sincere purpose of bettering the posture of the
lower strata in the social and economic structure
and in tine effort to do that he has lined up for most
of those specific measures which have been put forth
by other sincere people in the effort to benefit those
most needing improvement of their condition,
The Bergers and the Gomperses cannot afford to
indulge the bitterness that has marked their rela-
tons Tney are njuring themselves more than any
body else Their cause is in general, a common
one. Acrimonies and violence will advantage their
enemies not themselves the things that in general
they both presume to favor.

THE FIRST OFFICIAL FUNERAL.

Because of its failure to poll $4,000 votes in
Tuesdays election the Republican party in North
Carolina is Officially dead" A law of the State
bars from recognition any political party which did
not poll $4,000 votes in the previous election
1t was by employing the votes of Southern States
either dead, like louisiana or moribund, like Ala
bama, that the Republicans carried through the
Chicago fraud, for which they have paid the capital
penalty at the hands Of the people.

Owners of Automobiles Are Urged
To Assist in Success of the Matinee
Cars Needed to Send Grip
pies and Orphans to
Theater.

The Washington Times morning mail
box these days Is the most wonderful
thing imaginable. Addressed to Miss
Julia Murdock, who Is conducting the
arrangements for The Times special
matinee OF "Rebecca Of Sunnybrook
Farm" at the Columbia Theater, next
Wednesday afternoon, for the orphan
and crippled children of Washington,
hundreds of letters are pouring In daily,
each conveying some poignant message
of sympathy, tender offer OF assistance,
or pathetic plea Of some lonely little
heart to be included in the glorious
party.
Smiles and tears chase one another
through this huge assortment Of mes
sages. and, IL II were only possible to
print half the communications received,
Miss Murdoch would gladly do 30 just
to show The Times readers that even
in this sordid, commercial age the in
grained spirit of human kindness still
lives to make this world a little better,
little sweeter.
Contributions Not Sought.
The bulk of the letters are offers
of assistance of almost every sort, but
while the proffered aid is most kindly
meant, many Of the writers appear still
to misunderstood the nature OF the
project The Times is arranging. Once
more Miss Murdoch wishes to call at
tention to the fact that no contribu-
tions OF money are being sought.
Everything Is paid for. Messrs. Klaw
and Erlanger and Miss Edith Taliaferro.
the little star OF the "RebecCa" COM
pany and the proprietors OF the Colum-
bia Theater. are to give an entire ape-
Cial performance for The Times. All
that The Times asks for now Is the
use OF enough automobiles to carry the
l.4Oo joyous little orphans and cripples
to and from the theater. A great num-
Der Of machines are needed. and while
the automobile owners OF the city have
responded most kindly to the call. the
list Is not yet near complete, and Miss
Murdoch wants to hear from any more
motor-car owners.
Pathetic Appeals Made.
Among the recent communication re-
ceived are several pathetic little letters
from some OF the orphans and cripples
who hope to be members OF the big
matinee party. Perhaps II you. Mr.. and
Mrs. Automobile owner, would read the
following samples OF these heart stir
ring little scrawls you will feel like
getting on the telephone right away
and arranging with Miss Murdock to
place your car at her disposal for a
couple Of hours next Wednesday.
Here's note from little girl in
one OF the larger orphan institutions.

Times will arrange to have certain

tuition to All up the rest OF the space

writes:
Dear Washington Times.
THE Sisters tell us only the girls
are going to be let to the show next

seen any show, but II there aint
