DEMOCRACY MUST Be
A WORTHY INSTRUMENT
People Trust It. Says Woodrow
Wilson, and 1t Must
Make Good.

Sea Girt, n. Woodrow Wilson at
the Little White House" at Sea Grit
is daily called upon to demonstrate his
ability as a ready speaker.
There is not a day passes but what
he meets various delegations who call
to assure him of their support.
In speaking Of political machines to
the Brooklyn Democratic club Cover
nor Wilson said: machines are bad.
but an organization may be very es-
sential For instance, | have been
surrounded by an organization here in
New Jersey while doing my best work.
A machine uses its political opportu-
mites for the selfish ends of its mem
bers. No members of our organization
would ever think of doing that Pub
lie opinion in New Jersey has drawn
tNn is.inction. 1t has killed the ma
chimes, and it is going to keep the or
ganization going.
1T seems to me that we are stand
ing in the presence of something high
er than allegiance to the Democratic
party. The country has been disap-
pointed in the Republican party, and 1t
is turning to the Democratic party.
That party is willing to show the way
toward those things which must be
realized.
Some gentlemen seem to find IT
easy to make personalities out Of pcli-
tics, but it seems to me that whenever
that is done politics is debased.
Men who are in search of reform
are now resorting to the Democratic
party, because, for my own part, l do
not know where else they will turn to
expect the results. There is no dis.
counting the strength and serviceabil
ity of united party, and the splendid
part Is that the Democratic party is
united.
Speaking seriously, nothing afardS'
me more genuine lre than
ceive such greet N ms

PHONE COMPANY
GETS FRANCHISE
City Council Grants Permission to
String and Operate Cable in
King Street.
A PROMINENT DRUGGIST DIES

Alexandria, Va, Dec. IA resolution
granting the Chesapeake and Potomac
Telephone Company permission to string.
maintain and operate an aerial cable
and fixtures on King Street from its
| office. near Fairfax Street, to Fayette
I Street, to Prince Street, and thence to
the corporation line, as recommended by
the joint committee on general laws,
finance and streets, was passed by the city
| council tonight at a special meeting of
that body. An amendment offered by
Councilman Birrell to the original reso-
luton providing that any increase by the
company IN its rates shall mean a re-
vocation of the permission. was also
passed. The amendment, as well as the
resolution, was opposed by Councilman
| Spinks, he being the only one of the
ten members present voting in the Mega
tive.
1t is provided among other other things
in the resolution that the COMPANY will
not later than January l, 1918 have con-
duits erected on King Street for the pur-
pose of placing its wires underground.
MIR. Spinks asserted that the entire
proposition means a higher taxation on
the people of the city and pointed out
the dangers incident to so many wires
in case of fire.
Councilman Burke thought the tele-
phone and telegraph essential in these
days and was OF the opinion that
cable would be superior TO so many
wires
Councilman BirrelI said this was SIM
ply temporary eXpedient and would
prove less unsightly than a myriad OF
wires CounCilmen Yates, Smith and
others also spoke on the measure.
Mr.. Birdsell also suggested that when
the franchise is granted that he COM
pany be made to pay for it. The city.
ne said, should have conduits and make
the companies pay for using them

w. smith that a committee be appoint
ed to confer with the corporation at

steps they may deem necessary either
by appeal TO the State corporation COM
mission to compel the railway COM
pany to restore its former rates and
bring about readjustmcnt of the rates
between this city and Washington, was
passed. \ committee composed of
Councilmen Smith, Brockctt. and Bry-
an was named by the chair. The board

ARCH BALD MAY
TAKE THE STAND
Rumor About Capitol That Accused
Judge Will Testify in Own
Behalf.
REPORT Is NEITHER
VERIFIED Or REFUTED
House Managers Declare Move
Would Accomplish Final Round
ing Out of Case.

That Robert W. Archibald, of the United
States Commerce Court, will take the
| stand in his own defense in the impeach-
ment trial before the Senate was report
ed around the Capitol yesterday. In the
absence Of formal announcement by his
counsel, the report could neither be veri-
fled nor refuted, but it gave rise to a
deal of speculation around the Senate.
According to the report, Judge Arch
bald's counsel feel that there are a
number of points which best can be
cleared up by the accused jurist himself.
as in telling his own story the Judge will
be permitted greater latitude than other
witnesses. The House managers. how
ever, are extremely skeptical of any al
legged intention on the part of the defense
10 place the Judge on the stand. They
declare that If any one move were neces-
sary to insure the final rounding out of
their case, such a move would accom-
plish it. They feel confident that they
would be. able to tear the judges story
to shreds il they could get him on the
stand.
According to the report yesterday. the
plan is to place Judge Archibald on the
stand as the defense's last witness. some
time after the Senate convenes follow
ing the Christmas holidays. The de-
Tense does not expect to conclude the
trial until January s.
Character Witnesses Testify.

managers. Warren was asked whether
after he had contributed to ArchbaId's
European fund. he had been shown ia
voritism by Archibald: whether Warren
knew Of the jury commissioner appoint
ed by Archibald being guilty of irregu-
iarity, and whether Archbald's method
OF conducting court was unusual
All these were stricken out by the
ruling OF President Bacon. Senator
Oliver was DESTROYS Of getting the last
question and its answer into record.
He rewrote the question and sent it to
the desk with a request that it be read.
Objection was made and sustained by
President Bacon, and the question went
unanswered.

Kings street, died shortly after o'clock
this morning as the result of taking
thirty grains of morphine. Mr.. Entwisle
