sisted upon for years. Railroads have complained
that they could not get money to expand and improve
II the canal relieves the congestion, 1t will serve
just the purpose that four or hve billions of add
tional investment in railroads would have served.
The country's commerce is going to expand, for
many years to come in proportion to the expansion
of facilities for handling it. decade hence we will
realize that If the canal had not been built the con-
sequences would have been vastly more serious to
the railroads than any that follow from its
petition.
Two three railway lines are being built or
projected to connect Europe with India. They must
compete directly with the Suez canal; yet nobody
seriously fears that they will hurt the canal, or that
the canal will prevent their making profits
The building of canals connecting our great lakes,
the immense development of tonnage on these inland
seas, far from injurng the railroads of that region
helped them.
With the Panama canal the same will be proved
true. Commerce needs the canal, and will profit by
having it. The railroads, as instruments Of COM
merce, will get their full share Of the increment

Here's a Book

Recalling the Duncans, does anyone
remember-rather Can anyone forget
when Duncan ct uxor, with one
small boy in tow, arrived in the mid
die Of winter and New York, clad in
futtering robes "of white samite,
mystic, wonderful?" All the children's
societies wriggled in anticipatory Joy
and disgorged their righteous wrath
and Indignation upon the parents and
shouted aloud their eagerness and
ability to stand in loco PARENTS for
the hapless. but It must be admitted
disgustingly healthy, babe of such
monsters. Oh, heartless mother: oh
stinRv father" civilized America said.
And yet II Is the same public, that
same finger-pointing crowd, who pro-
fess to admire the nude, devise Won
drous gowns with little front and no
back. and spend millions every year
in an effort to become beautiful, who
are the taunters.
Beauty of the Highest Types" is
the name of a little book by Caroline
WilliRms LeFavre, and after she has
described that type she shows how to
attain II. The booklet Is practical
application of some great big ideas
that have recently been agitated anew
and should be needed with due respect
The author not only says that one
should wear robes like those so brave
ly worn by the Duncan family but
gives directions for making them The
world Is not ready for such a state
however, as a steady, unalterable CON
dition. but would undoubtedly profit
by fitful lapses into the Intoxicating
and alluring freedom 1t offers from
the hideous responsibility of clothes.
All of the advice is not given to
women, as in most beauty culture
books, Gentlemen" so says the au-
thor, should not have belts, but the
waist should be bloused slightly and
fastened on a band. The suspenders, If
there are any, or the belt, should never
be seen. lest they spoil the effect aimed
alto be artistic and comfortable look
ing" The pantaloons are to be held up
by some means, but she does not tell
how. so it must be a secret told only
to true believers
Although the utter impossibility of
some of the suggestions is a terrible
temptation to the cynic to laugh
basis for the authors Fundamental
ideas, which, as was formerly stated,
invites the respect of the intelligent
reader.
1t is a far more disinterested and
frank little volume than has appeared
for some time, in that II offersin no
respect remedies which are not within
the reach of the poorest supplicant at
the throne of beauty. The Health Gull
ture Company are the publishers, and
the quotations from poetry at the be-
ginning and the end of the book are
pertinent and enlightening.

A New Order Which This Core.
spOndent Says Works a Hardship,

To the Editor OF THE TINES:
Secretary MacVeagh, of the Treas
ury Department, has issued an order
that prohibits clerks in that depart
ment from keeping tea, coffee or sugar
about the office in which they serve.
This really is an order that forces all
clerks in the Treasury Department to
hereafter patronize the restaurants for
their monday lunch. Many. yes, hun
dreds of clerks who find their salaries
too low to enjoy the luxury of lunch
at cafe, prepare themselves a cup of
tea or a cup OF coffee to make out their
monday lunch with. In order to pre-
serve the strength of tea and coffee,
and sugar, too. each clerk keeps such
in a air-tight can of some shape. There
can be nothing unsanitary about this.
Can you not take up this case, as You
have taken up others. and by arousing
public interest get the Secretary to re-
scind, or at least modify this, his latest
order to work hardship? Especially
will the low-salaried clerks in the
Treasury Department appreciate your
help. Respectfully,
MARION WATERS.

A MUNICIPAL COAL MINE.

Grand Junction, COL, proposes to run coal mine
of its own. That town achieved fame two or three
years ago by adopting the commission government
plan in rather the most radical form yet devised Now
it has asked the Interior Department to give it $40
acres of coal land and Secretary Fisher is going to
do it,
The town is paying So to $3.50 for COAL which is
claimed to be excessive. A combination of privately
owned mines has held up the price and prevented
development of competing ones Grand Junction
authorities claim they take this square miles of
Government coal lands pay good royalty on them,
give the workers better wages than they now get, and
still supply the town with coal at half the present
Rgures.
Seems perfectly sane and sensible, doesn't it?
Yet Washington, D. c., has better coal mine
than that closer at hand whose riches will
be worked out.
Grand functions mine will be eleven miles from
the town. Washingtons is closer: it is just as far
away as the Great Falls of the Potomac.
Great Falls should be harnessed and made to
provide light and power for this town. Every argu-
ment that can be advanced in favor of the Grand
Junction project of a cityowned and operated mine,
urges just as strongly in favor of using the Great
Falls for cheapening light power, and neat in this
city.
Why not?

MELANCHOLY DAYS.

The melancholy days have come. They are a
little ahead of schedule this year. Ordinarily the
Congressman who has been for the people at home
and for everybody and everything else at Washing
ton is not caught until the first Tuesday after the
first Monday in November.
This year it is different. He is going to have to
show his hand at once. The folks back home all live
in Missouri and they don't propose to waste any time
trying to guess under which shell their Congressman
is hidden. He must come out
Look out for early fross that will do great lam
age to the political crops. Only sturdy convictions
are expected to survive.

HAVE NO COMPLAINT NOW.

According to Mr.. Archbold the complaint of
Standard Oil is that it contributed to the campaign
fund of 1904 in the expectation that such contribu-
tion would secure for it favors and immunity not
granted to other citizens and interests of the country
but 1t learned that Roosevelt meant what he said
when he said in that campaign that he would not
differentiate between big offenders of the law and
little ones.
AS yet Mr.. Archbold has filed no bill of partic-
uars against the Taft Administration.

Hands q Bouquet to the Capital
Traction Company.

To the Editor OF TIE TIMES:
As Washingtonians we are accus-
toned to kick when anything does not
please us. 1t is not altogether incon-
sistent with this inclination. therefore,
to express our gratitude and pleasure
when things are in line with our
notions.
1 am referring in particular to the
car service of the Capital Traction Com
pany. This is one company which
cares for the comfort of the passenger
as we'll as for his money. Undoubtedly
both car companies of the District are
after the peoples money, all they can
get of 1t. but this one knows that the
way to get it is not by forcing, but by
pleasing. l am commuter on the
Washington and Old Dominion line.
that the people come into the city at
Thirty sixth and Nj streets in crowds.
There does not have to be any jamming
or discomfort, however, when these
crowds board the Pennsylvania avenue
cars, for the schedule of the Avenue
line in rush hours is "a car a minute"
and sometimes more frequent
At the same time l want to register
a kick against the other street rail-
way company. The fact that this COM
pany runs just barely enough cars in
the rush hours to transport the people,
without thought Ct their comfort, is
famous Cor infamous throughout WASH
ington. Particularly is this true of the
Bureau line. This is well known to
every employe of the Bureau of En-
craving and Printing and of the De.
partment of Agriculture
l ash the people of Washington, for
their own comfort and pleasure, to
patronize the better company whenever
possible, until the other company has
awakened to the fact that the people
rule and not the car companies

letter 1t appeared to me that perhaps
some one would think that this letter
was an lad" inserted by the CAPITAL

phatically that this is not true, and

The Tax Report Indicates to This
Man q Need for Reform.

To the Editor of THE TIMES:
The city owes you a debt of graft
tude for your fine editorial in regard to
the unfair real estate assessments re-
ferred to in the report of Congress.
They say the assessors can be dismissed
for inefticiency and neglect of their Of
ficial duties. If they can, why haven't
our city fathers ousted them from office
long ago? Are they not at fault as well
as the assessors, just as Mayor Gaynor
was at fault for his failure to promptly
act in regard to the rotten doings of the
New York police? II one-tenth Of the
things stated in the report of Congress
Is true, the District Commissioners
ought not to have any difficulty in
reaching the conclusion that the as
SCISSORS of our real estate are inefficient
and have been neglecting their duties
In the rankest possible way, Is'it not
time to act? Better late than never.

NOT THE LEAST CHANCE.

Some captious soul has raised the point that Miss
Boardman's starting endless letter chain to raise
funds for Taft is violating the postal laws
We believe the Postofice Department has made
a ruling against that practice in some instances upon
the ground that it was promoting lottery.
Miss Boardman does not come within that ruling.
The plan she is furthering is not lottery There is
not the least chance of winning 1t is clearly char
liable proposition
The Washington times., 1912-08-27
COULD THIS BE THE REASON?

Under the trust busting policy of Taft Wicker
sham and the bipartisan combination now in the
seats of the mighty. the dividends of Standard Oil
increased $57s2525 within the last year.
Gould this have anything to do with the attempt
OF Archbod and Standard Oil to discredt Roosevelt
and the Progressive party?
In view of this terrific blow Standard Oil has
suffered at the hands of the Taft Administration to
whom will Archbold make his cash contribution this
year?

No warrant for such misgivngs will be found
in previous experience. The need of more facilities

HORSE -THEFTS IN NEW YORK
MORE THAN IN TEXAS

Houston, TeXas.-That the horse
and cattle thief who formerly oper-
ated at large in Texas, is passing is
indicated by the recent report of the
chairman of the Texas penitentiary
system which shows horse thefts in
New York City are more frequent
than in the entire state of Texas.
Moreover the report indicates a great
er percentage of convictions of horse
thieves in Texas than in New York
City.
This reference in the report is
merely incidental, but is of more
than passing interest because of the
erroneous belief still prevalent in
some sections that horse thieves, six
shooters and other evidences of early
frontier days still reign in Texas. In
comparing statistics on horse thefts
New York offered interesting data,
being the largest city in the country.
In New York horse thefts generally
are successful for the animal is stol-
en- and disposed of before the law
is on the trail of the thief. In Tex
as the inroads of the majesty of the
law have cut the ratio of this depart
ment of crime below that9of the AM
erican metropolis.

PATENT RECEIVED
FOR VALUABLE LAND
Especial correspondence.) )


Hermiston, Ore, Jan. 23.-Joseph
F. McNaught. president of the Max
well Land and Irrigation company
has just received patent for his 24O
acre desert claim. This land lies
very close to the city, some Of 1t
within the city limits and is a very
valuable piece. Mr.. McNaught prov
ed up from the Maxwell water right.
1t Is now supposed that several 9TH
ers will also receive patents soon,
there being several who have this
same water right.
Saturday afternoon large gather
ing of the farmers attended the lec-
ture given by Mr.. ]. Smith of the
O.-W. r. & N. Railroad company. His
lecture here was very interesting as
well as instructive.
The concert given at the Methodist
church Sunday evening was one of
the best ever given in this city, the
soloist for the evening being Miss
Gladys Scroggs, Mrs. Blanchard, Mr..
Walter Lloyd and Mrs. H. T. Blakslee.
The Whipple orchestra and the Cic-
tro were fully appreciated. Rev.
Emmei gave n short and very inter-
esting talk. The program was under
the direction of G. II. Upthegrove,
who states that he expects to have
concert of this kind every month.
