RAILWAYS ARE ABSORBED.
Washington Company Takes Over
Anaoostia and Brightwood Roads.

Final arrangements have just been COM
pieted for the transfer of all title to the
Anacostia and Potomac River railroad
and to the Brightwood railway to the
Washington Railway and Electric Com
pany, and the corporate existence of the
two subsidiary companies vii! end today.
Since the stock of the Anacosta and
Rrishtwood companies was owned by the
Washington Railway and Electric Com
pany. il required only the assent of the
stockh holders of the latter corporation at
a meeting Thursday to pave the way for
formal absorption.
1t is saiiidi that this action has no par
ticular significance, since il provides mere
H. that the Washington Railway and
Electric Company now will have legal
title to the tracks, rolling stock and other
equipment of the two companies. and the
former method of controlling both roads
through stock ownership has been ter.I-
mated With 1t also will be secured a
considerable simplification in bookkeep-
Ing. because the two roads now will be-
come component parts of the Washing
ton Railway and Electric system.
Similar action with regard to the Wood
side and Forest Glen Railway ana Power
Company also was contemplated at this
same time, but final consideration was de-
ferred until q later date,

Instincts in animals differ from hu-
man instincts. In the former they ope-
rate machine like and are inevitable; in
the latter they are a push or tendency
but always are influenced by the will and
by circumstances. In animals they are
the vehicles Of force; In men the ruts in
which the vehicles run.

He had a conference today with Senator
Simmons the ranking democratic men,
Der of the Panama canal committee, and
expressed n wish to see the bill, as
agreed upon by the conferees. amended
so as to give the rights to foreign ma
tons to bring claims for discrimination

President believes that such a provision
is vitality essential in the prevention of
a multitude of suits and claims against
this country before The Hague tribunal.
Joint Resolution Probable.
Senator Simmons promised to consider
the matter. He told the President today.
however. that he did not believe Con-
Sress would consent to amend the bill as
passed, but that il might be possible to
have a joint resolution put through con-
tanning the provision the President be-
ieves to be wise and proper. 1t is not
believed the President would veto the bill
if joint resolution should be passed at
tanning the ends sought.
Senator Simmons said today that the
Panama canal bill. as it has passed the
Senate, is about the most satisfactory
measure to a big majority of the Sen
ate he has seen. 1t had more support
he said, than any important measure
adopted at this session.

it is because he has not taken the trou-
BILE to try. You may remember that Mr.
Wilson stated two days after his own
nomination that he had not yet looked at
the platform upon which he was nomi-
mated. | do not wonder that when he
did at last look at that platform he be-
came SO thoroughly discontinued with it
that he now feels distaste for all plat
forms. Mr.. Wilson speaks If the
progressive platform were very long. As
a matter OF fact 1t is of almost the ex-
act length of his own platform. The diff
ference is that our platform states eX-
plicitly and definitely what we intend to
do on the vital questions of the day. and
that 1t is entirely sincere and entirely
practical, whereas Mr.. Wilson's platform
avoids the most important issues before
our people. and regards the other Is

Slaughter May Reach 10000, 900.

| To date The Star crusaders have de-
stroyed about 1S,OoO,0GO flies. What eff

on the germ carrier is problematical, but

among infants under two years of age

FAINT mortality to date has recorded a
reduction. 1t is doubtful If all this i'm

number of flies killed In The Stars cam

the additional efforts of citizens pro-
duced by the educational and moral ef-

by End of Campaign.
CITY's HEALTH FEELS EFFECT

Sales of sticky fly paper traps and
other devices for exterminating the in
sects in Washington this year have re-
corded an increase of from - to 80 per
cent. according to information gathered
by officials of the District health depart
ment
Since the beginning Of The Stars fly
war in May the health department au-
thorties have believed that residents Of
the capital generally, encouraged by the
activities of the children. would put forth
every effort to destroy the fly. which has
been denounced by scientists and sani-
tarians as the "deadliest animal alive"
All along the authorities have commended
that the slaughter of insects in the cam
creased number of pests destroyed as a
result of the campaigns effect in stimu-
lating residents to follow the example set
by the younger members OF the commu-
nifty. The result of the departments in
vestigation of sales of tly-exterminating
devices by Washington stores indicates
that the contention was we'll founded.
Citizens Stirred to Activity.
To begin with, practically all of the
stores report an increase Of at least %
per cent in the sale of fly paper. Insects
caught on the sticky paper cannot be en-
tered to the credit of contestants in the
campaign. The increase in the sale OF
the fly paper. therefore, means that citi-
zens of the capital have made greater use
of this method for destroying the flies.
The result doubtless has been An increase
of millions In the number of disease
spreaders exterminated.
Sales of traps and various methods of
annihilating the insects have recorded
increase of from % to 80 per cent, which
to some measure, Is due to purchases by
children who are competing in the cam
paign. But househoiders have been trap
ping flies as well as the young crusaders,
a fact that principally is responsible for
the increas ed demand.

themselves the worst assailants of tle

courts absolutely unaffected III the exer-
else Of their judicial functions. But
where they exercise legislative functions
and where they thwart the will Of tile
people expressed through the Legislative
branch of the government. We propose TO
give 10 the people themselves. after due

No Apology for Platform.

we progressiyes are much more for
tunate in our platform. We do not have
to apologize for il nor to speak Of 1t in
language SO carefully guarded as TO con-
rey the impression that We are endeav-
oring neither to repudiate il nor support
it. We stand on our platform. We do
ask that our platform be adopted by the
nation. Our platform is our program
We treat it such. and, what is more.
we treat il Is q contract which we shall
scrupulousIy fulfill if the people give US
the power.
Our proposals are definite and con-
crete and our intention is to enact them
into law and to make them part Of the
active governmental policy OF the nation
AT this moment l ask your attention
only to the proposals that we make to
secure social and industrial justice. in
the first article We set forth definitely
what we mean TO try to secure at the
present .ia1n n -, ~-ar ~ social and in
dustrial just lar !ils ear to secure by
law one days res, in seven for all wage
workers. an eight-hour day in continuous
twenty-four- hour industries, the prohibit
ton Of child labor. the establishment Of
an eight-hour day for women and young
persons, the erection of minimum wage
standards for working women. workmen's
compensation acts, the securing OF proper
conditions Of life and labor for working
men and women and the prevention of &C.

cupational health standards.

Social and Industrial Justice.

We propose to secure these installment
OF social and industrial Justice by action
in both the nation and the several states
Therefore We propose to see that our REP
resentatives give the people these laws
wherever in nation or state the progress
sives come into power. In these matters
we do not intend to let our public sery-
ants our representa- ives, decide for US
whether or not we can have the laws
necessary to give justice to those who
need 1t: we propose to settle the matter
for ourselves, and We intend that our
public servants shall give Us the laws
necessary IN order to achieve the end We
have in view. We do not intend either
executive or legislative officers to forbid
us TO have such laws, and, my friends.
neither do we intend to let the judges
forbid us to have such laws. Therefore
in our platform we have stated that We
intend to provide more easy and expedi-
tious methods of amending the federal
Constitution, and that when in any state
a state court declares that a law passed
for social and industrial justice Is hncon-
stituticnal, then. after an ample interval
for elaboration, the people shall have
the opportunity themselves to decide by
vote whether the act is to become law
Notwithstanding such decision: for, as the
platform says. the progressive party de-
mands such construction of the power OF
the courts as shall leave the people them
selves the ultimate authority to determine
fundamental questions of social welfare
and public policy.
