PREDICTS DISASTER IN
LATTER PART OF JUNE

To the Editor of THE TIMES:
I am not prophet or the son of a
prophet, but predict some strenuous
times during the coming summer
especially between the 18th and 25th
of next June. My reasons for this
prediction, are not vague and ETHEREAL,
but are based upon scientific deduc-
ttons, nd upon Copernican theories,
but upon the Cellular Cosmogony
demonstration.
That space is unlimited, and that
the sun is 93,000.OO0, or any number
of miles away from the earth has
never been proven by any so called
scientist.
One of the properties of form is
Limitation; everything that exists has
form, therefore limitation. The uni
verse exists, therefore 1T has limita-
tion. To know the true form of the
universe is to have the key to real
knowledge. The land and water sur
face of the earth has been proven
beyond doubt to be concave instead
OF convex. 1t is through this knowl-
edge that the universe Is cellular that

domains during the month of June

HUMANE TREATMENT
OF DUMB ANIMALS

To the Editor Of THE TIMES:
1t Is gratifying to observe the agita-
ton of the unmistakable cruelty to
horses. The cold weather, with paucity
of blankets, is not alone responsible for
their suffering. Wagons, quite heavy
enough for two horses, are drawn by
one and constantly urged by bit ana
whip. These heavy one-horse vehcles'
filled with various wares, to their ut
most capacity, then have, often, the ad-
dition of two, three, or even TOUR
friends of the gregarious drivers, WHICH,
without any other load, would be more
than sufficient for the pobr struggling
beast while drivers plying whips which
should not be placed In the hands OF
drivers at all. In no city where the
writer has lived have there been such
instances of cruelty and neglect to the
faithful horse rs in Washington. USE
less to appeal to, police in most cases.
1t will be met with (as 1t has beenl'
"Oh, he amt a-hurtin' anything Ana
at the risk of seeming very unamiable,
this writer has asked many drivers II
they were inflicting pain with the whip
for amusement and counseling them TO
lay the blows upon their own back.
Then there is the "nagging" habit
which most drivers have, tapping con-
stantly, the poor beast with the whip
cracker and Jerking his mouth every
step, until the very life is out OF him:
The agitation Is not without Its good
results entirely; but there is need for
much Improvement, and the whip should
be abolished. l.. II. M.

To the Editor OF THE TIMES:

The best managed roads in this coun-
try have always first devoted surplus TO
betterments of road bed, and renewal
and repair OF rolling stock. There is
plenty of need of this betterment in the

pany, for one has only to listen to the

chains and guards trailing and humping
along the ground like a man with his
drawer strings united. If any one goes
over Rock Creek today or tomorrow
and glances at the rows of cars stand

wonder that these cars are constantly
going to pieces on the road and holding

then wonders why the "gol darn thing

may be that the increase OF dividend

SAYS OLD EMPLOYEES
DON'T WANT PENSIONS

To the Editor OF THE TINES:
Who is 1t that wants the employees
pensioned? I have been in the service
a long time and have never heard any
of the old employees favor it. And why
should they? These old employees that
everybody wants to get rid OF are, as
far AS I can learn, very we'll satisfied.
They come to work at s or 8 o'clock in
the morning, have a nice car ride, a
little fresh air, exercise, and a comfort
able, warm room, all modern convent
ences at their disposal, pleasant envi-
ronment, a social, political chat with
old friends, diversion, all of which
tends to prolong life and prevents them
from getting stale, Crabby, grouchy, or
going to an early grave for the want
of all these blessings.
Moreover, they get full pay instead
of a pittance in the shape of pension.
And as to giving an equivalent in SER
vices for the pay received, l will Just
state there is not an old employe in
the service whose service is not worth
more than the pay he or she receives.
This may not say much for the service,
but 1t says less for the pay.
If the Government wants to show any
appreciation for services rendered, let
them increase the old employees Chose
over sixty salaries, and keep them
on the payroll until the day of their
death. Make liberal provisions for sick
leave and, as 1t says in the Psalm 81,
Set him on high and honor him"

ABOLISH FEE SYSTEM
PREVAILING AT MT. VERNON

To the Editor Of THE TIMES:
1t is to be hoped that Mt. Vernon will
soon be lifted from the grasp of the
present management.
While the ladies who are nominally
at the head are above criticism, the
active managers are not. The man
who Is paid as gardener devotes all of
his time to selling souvenirs alleged
to be made from the trees of Mt. Ver-
non. This Is purely a personal mat
ter. The destruction of the trees on
the estate will be one of the results
of this graft, or If the wood which is
alleged to be Mt. Vernon wood Is OBJ
tained from foreign sources, then the
patriotic of the land are being imposed
upon at the nations holiest shrine.
So many souvenirs does he sell that
the assistance of his son is necessary
to handle the business. Yet both draw
salaries from the association.
The regents of Mt. Vernon meet Cnce
a year, rarely oftener. They must ac-
cept the reports of the three or four
men in direct and indirect charge.
The regents of Mt. Vernon undertook
the maintenance OF this Mecca with
Yeneration, but those to whom has been
delegated the active management have
made a business out Of 1t that thrives
for them alone, whether the times in
other business centers be dull or pros
porous.

HAS PRESIDENT INDORSED
DOCTRINE OF RECALL.
To the Editor of THE TINES:

To the Editor OF THE TIMES
AS your paper is the only one in the
Capital supporting progressive princi-
Piles, let me suggest a thought upon
which an editorial could be written.
Consistency. they say, is a jewel. The
progressives believe in the referendum
and recall, even as applied to our
judges. Our President opposes these
doctrines, especially as applied to the
judiciary. Is he consistent? Let's see.
For weeks 1t seemed to be settled that
Judge Hook would be named as a MEM
ber of the Supreme Court. Just as his
name was ready to be sent to the Senate
1t was learned that Judge Hook hau
rendered an unpopular decision. Not
that he was wrong, from legal stand
point, but his decision did not please the
populace The President recalls" his
determination to appoint Judge Hook,
and will. we understand. send in the
name of some one else. The only diff
ference in the two cases is that one was
initiated by the President, while the
other may be initiated by the people
"the mob" as 1t is expressed by our
conservative friends.
We do not believe Judge Hook to be
the proper man to fill the position made
vacant by the death of Judge Harlan,
and we fear that proper successor will
4 not be named. However, the point is,
has not our President really Endorsed
the doctrine of recall-a doctrine he has
| heretofore condemned? Y. Y. u.

THE DELUGE NARRATIVE

To the Editor of THE TIMES:
The fool hath said is his heart there is
no God. Corrupt are they (the fools), and
have done abominable iniquity. There Is
none (among them) that doeth good. God
looked down from heaven upon the children
Of men. to see II there were any that did un-
derstand that did seek God lin that class).
Bvery one OF them Is gone back; they are
altogether become filthy: there is none
(among them) that doeth good, no, not one.

WHO EAT UP MY PEOPLE AS THEY EAT
BREAD.
In the beginning God created the heaven
and the earth. And the earth was sub
merged. And God moved upon the face OF
the waters And God said: Let there
be a armament In the midst OF the waters,
and let 1t divided the waters from the
waters. And God made the armament, and
divided the waters which are under the hr-
mament from the waters which are above
the armament, and II is so. And God called
the armament Heaven And God said
Let the waters under the heaven be gathered
together into one place, and let the dry
land appear-and It Is so.
The quantity of water that is above
the armament Is greater than the guam
tity of water that is under the firma-
nent. That fact was clearly demon
strated when the windows of heaven
we're opened and the rain was upon
the earth forty days and forty nights"
