SUGGESTS DAIRY LUNCH
CARS ON THROUGH TRAINS

To the Editor OF THE TIMES:
Your editorial February zb about the
italian who grew desperate because IN
tho long journey from San Francisco 20
New York the train never stopped
where he could buy something to eat,
II axes me feel like writing what l have
long thought about, and that is. that
dairy lunch cars should be attached
to the through trains. These could
be in much palmer style than the regular
dining cars, and might be so that the
passengers could either eat there o.
take the lunches back to their regular
seats.
The dining cars attached to the Pull
mans are very good, but every one
knows their charges are SO high that
most people cannot afford to nay them.
Many people carry lunches with them,
bat IL they could get some coffee or
tea and something to be nice tasting.
they would be glad to do so, If at a
moderate price, even though twice as
much as they would pay in the city.
believe this would ray the railroads,
and not destroy the patronage of the
dining cars, either. c. w. /.

PROBLEMS MORE GRAVE

My attention has been called to a COM
munication from T. J. DOwdell in the
Mail Bag column OF The Times, a most
interesting feature of your paper, since

editorials and express his views on

THE COMING OLYMPIAD.

If, as predicted by the secretary of the Amateur
Athletic Union, the Yankee team going to the Oym-
piad at Stockholm this year will have Everything in
its favor" and will also possess "a confidence previous
teams did not have" then it seems reasonable enough
to expect another American victory. The secreary's
prediction that this years Oympiad-the fourth since
the ancient tournament was revived at Athens in 1896
will be the greatest and most closely contested
athletic meet the world has ever seen" makes this
expectation not all the surer, but all the keener.
AS matters stand now, America has to its credit
more than half the records made in the twoscore of
events which comprise the Oympad program. In
running-except the long distance runs, in which the
Englishmen still peerless-and in jumping, which
nearly one-half of the scheduled events, the
Americans have had things quite their own way since
the beginning.
Whether they can make up a team fit to match
the that won for them in London four years ago
is question The new records made this side of
the ocean the past year make it seem easy.

PRESENT AGITATION
OF LIQUOR QUESTION
he Editor of THE TIMES:

To the Editor of THE TIMES:
In Thursdays papers we are told of
some kind of a meeting to take action
on the liquor question. Witnesses are
being examined on both sides. or
course the inevitable w. c. T. L. is
there in force.
There are all kinds of fools in this
world. Each fool has a different kind
of hobby. Don't dare to tell fool that
he is wrong in his hobby. He has been
put on earth to do a certain thing, and,
by gosh. he Is going to do it.
The liquor question has been threshed
over thousands of times, and anybody
with a grain of common sense will
realize that liquor will be sold far
enough in the future to be threshed out
thousands of times more.
OF course, allowance has to be made
for ministers. 1t serves a double pur-
pose for them. IT keeps them before
the public eye and, therefore, takes the
place of a press agent, and it also
serves to occupy their minds, and in
the latter respect serves good pur-
pose.
1t does look rather foolish and un-
wise, however, for a United States SEN
ator to be idling his time away on such
q question. | believe ii is safe to say
that a Senator who takes part in a
controversy of this kind IS never heard
of when a weighty question is up for
consideration. II. e. PARKINS.

OvERHEATED LIGHT
FIXTURE CAUSE OF
PATTERSON BLAZE
Fire Marshal Believes Lace
Curtain Came in Contact
With Electricity.

A lace curtain coming in contact with
an overheated electric light fixture is
believed by Fire Marshal Nicholson to
have been the cause of a fire which
causd $1,000 damage at the residence of
Mrs Robert w. Patterson, 10 Dupont
circle, carly this morning.
Fire Marshal Nicholson, with one Of
the District electrical inspectors today
made an inspection and found that It
would have been impossible for n short
circuit between the brick walls and
wood paneling IN tho room to have
caused the blaze. The wiring was found
to be of the most approved type.
The blaze was discovered shortly af-
ter L. O'Clock in a room on the third
floor occupied by Mrs. Patterson's
daughter, the Countess Gizycki. The
countess was preparing to retire when
she saw smoke curling above the wood

men about four hours to extinguish
the blaze with chemical tanks. The
fire was smouldering between the par
titions, and proved a most stubborn one
to fight. The fact that only chemical
lines were used prevented any water

and other articles on the two floors be-

ANYBODY EXCEPT THE PEOPLE.

Ii is apparently the general program of the Taft
management, in the contest now opening to take
their chances with almost anybody except-aways
except-the people
In the South they are hitched up with the Fed
eral offceholders, who are relied upon to bring in
the delegates for the with the office giving
power.
In the North they rejecting all suggestions
of letting the of the party indicate their pref
erence, and are making their appeals exclusively to
the political bosses.
Big business and the big politicians to save
the Administration if they can. Penrose in Pennsy-
Nania, Aldrich in Rhode Island Crane in Massachu-
sets, Hemenway in Indiana, Lorimer in Illinois
these are the types of leader to whom the Taft peo
pie have turned. l%3sAM|
Let primary be suggested, and there is panic
in the Taft camp. Let straw vote a carefully
organized poll be suggested, and they have balloon
ascension The reason is simple. They know that
every test of the peoples sentiments gives Roose-
welt the overwhelming majority.
Part of the Roosevelt campaign plan is to de-
mand methods of selection of delegates that will rep
resent real popular opinion; and after that, according
TO intimatons that come from Oyster Bay there will
be effort to determine, legal basis, whether
the Southern delegations of ofiCeholderS shall be
permitted to mSrepresent their people
From every section Of the South comes the re-
port that if primaries were to be held the Republi-
would 60 overwhelmingly for Roosevelt But
the offceholders intend to suppress the peple and
support their maker.
No greater service could be done the Republi-
can party than fight out to an honorable finish this
question of rule by the offceholding machines 1t
is evidently going to be more scandalous this year
than ever before The system will break the party

THE DEMOCRATIC SUGAR PLAN.

There is just one fundamental difficulty with
the Democratic plan for free sugar and, extension
of the busnessearnings tax to raise the now
derived from sugar
1t cannot possibly become law.
Probably the certainty that it cannot become law
explains how the caucus was able to adopt it.
To say all this is not to enter into discussion Of
the plans merit. There is plenty to be said both
sides but at bottom the project is so plainly of
putting the Republicans in hole" that discussion
of merits is hardly necessary at this stage.
Free sugar has no more chance of getting
through the Senate than proposition for free meals
for all bue-eyed citizens The men who made the
great fight three years ago for lower sugar duties and
removal of the Dutch Standard test, have carefully
canvaSsed the Senate, and assured that the very
best that can possibly be secured is duty of cent
pound with removal of the Dutch Standard. That
much mi ght be done; if it is possible, it ought to be
DONE The Democrats are undertaking the utterly
impossible, knowing it to be impossible.
There is certain Machiavellian cleverness about
their project, however 1t makes cooperation with
the progressive and insurgent Republicans impossible.
1t draws a sharp line between the Democratic House
and the Republican Senate, gives the Democrats op-
portuny to claim that the Republicans defeated their
free-breakfasttable plan provides good campaign
material for the folks back in Buncombe, and at the
time will please the Sugar trust and the beet
sugar people, because it will make impossible any
change at all.
1t will, further, give the Democrats opportunity
to acclaim that they were ready for an income tax,
but the Republican Senate refused to permit it,
All this is good politics, as it is played; but it is
not dealing fairly with the people The nsncerity of
the House project is proved by the fact that for
months the Democrats have been utterly unable to
agree what should be done about sugar So long as
they considered plans that we're intended to have a
chance of becoming law, and giving the people some
real advantage, they hopeessy unable to agree
1t only fantastic proposal that could pos
siby have ghost of a show of enactment that they
could get together.

DEPLORABLE CONDITION
OF REPUBLICAN WING
THE Times:

To the Editor of THE TINES:
Your leading editorial in Sundays
paper was headed, The Southern Re
publican Disgrace" and in the editorial
you said:
Almost every day, now, brings a story OF
riot and wreCkage from some Southern con-
vention. What is it all about? Most of
these conventions represent no real party at
all. They stand for organized greed for the
Federal jobs. 1t is a condition of which the
country is tired, and that Is going to bring
disaster to the party II ii is not ended.
In that connection I invite your at
tcntion to what would seem to be 4
dcplorable condition as to one wing Of
the Republican party in South Carolina
as outlined by National Committeeman
Capers, who like many other Southern
men, is doing everything in his power
to build up a high class, respecta bic
party in the South. And who are dis
COuraged in Their efforts, from the
White House down, with the suggestion
that they are Lilly Whites" simply be-
cause they protest against the party in
the State being all black. Describing this
condition, he has just sent a letter to the
Republicans in his State In which
among other things he says:
The Blalock faction is called Lily White"
because it protests against the party in the
state being all black, and protests against
worthy colored men being imposed upon
and fooled by those VINO want office
or those who already draw good sal
aries. 1t would seem to appeal to reason
that organization cannot stand even the
national test made up as is the organization
TObeTt and these three Federal office hold
ers using for their purposes. Think of It
for a moment, Of the twenty-five members
Of their State committee. twenty-five of them
are COlored men and three of them white men.
OF the seven Congres ssional districts in the
state, six of the Congressional Chairmen are
COlOrPd mon and one IA white man, r. r.
| Tobert. OF the forty-thrce counties in the
| State forty-two county Chairmen are colorcd
men and one county chairman white man,
! r. r. TolbeTt. Are the ColOred men in the
| state who really represent devoted interest
| TO the Republican party in the nation at
| large going to allow themselves to be led
! in solid black phalanX in this way for the

use Of the perpendicular pronoun. We are enabled
to learn just what Mr.. BonSal heard, said and did.
AS kind of afterthought he mentions, just be-
fore signing his full name, that "Mr. Knox arrived
this evening" We gather that the Secretary must
have been embarrassed by the small amount Of at
tenton he attracted. 1t was Mr.. Bonsal whom every
body eyed, as the Panamans, gathering abut him,
Looked at each other with a mute surmise,

Mr.. Knox, however, may decide to continue his
trip. Although we told that Mr.. BonsaI carried a
verbal message" to the acting President of Panama,
Mr.. Knox may come in handy to confirm it in an
unofficial way. And while he is down there he might
just well go and shake hands with Colombia, if
only to show that there are hard feelings. If he
has to shorten his trip, however Mr.. Bonsal will take
of the situation. We shall at least learn how

a beneficiary of the pernicious prohibit
tive tariff of the Republican party
which Is impovershing the masses OF
the people, and the negro along with
them. Whas affects the white man in
business affects the colored man. The
whole trouble with the negro race is
that because Abraham Lincoln was
Republican he thinks he must continue
to be one regardless of the great Issues
before the country. Abraham Lincoln If
living would rcpudiate the Republican
party the same as Roosevelt did few
days ago. l used 10 be a Republican,
because my father was, but when 1 be-
gan 20 study the principles of the
Democratic party, the party of Jeffer-
son and Bryan, came to the conclusion
that the principles OF that uarty were
best for all the people, millionaires or
beneficiaries of the prohibitive system
excepted. Let the negroes stop talking
about race issues, and study the great
problems before the American people,
and they will soon become Democrats.

SATURDAY, MARCH 2, 1912.
OFFER WILL BE DECLINED.

The Illinois Roosevelt committee has been for
weeks trying to get the Taft managers to agree on
Presidential preference vote at the primaries in Chi
cago April g. The Taft people first declined because
they didn't know Roosevelt would be candidate.
Since then they have declined because Of the ex-
pense.
Now the Roosevelt people have formally offer
ed to put up guarantee of all expenses for the
primary!
No use, gentlemen. The Taft managers don't
believe inprimaries; don't believe in letting the peo-
pie make their nominations don't PROPOSE above all
things, to countenance plan that would mean sure
defeat to them in every State adopting it.

Mr.. Bonsal had delightful chat with the acting
