Pursuit of the Fly.

In various parts of the South. nota.
bly, at Jacksonville and New Orleans,
sanitary forces of cities are or
ganizing for the spring and summer
campaign against the house hy. Last
years experience proved that systematic
pursuit of this troublesome and dan-
gerous insect resulted in greatly les
sening the number of flies, and in some
places the pest was nearly exterminated
Itfis a scientific fact that one fly
killed in early spring is equivalent to
the extermination of about 10000 in
midsummer. The early fly is the par
ent of the summer brood. and it is
the plan of the organizing forces down
South to swat the spring fiy," that the
pest may be limited at its source.
1t would be wise if the people of the
Capital would initiate the example set
by the Southern cities and begin the
determination of the hy at its first ap-
pearsnce in spring. BY so doing the
work of later months would be much
leSsened.

few days. Mr.. Durand will recommend
that a census be taken every five years
instead OF ten, as under the present
system.
''The shifting and rapidly changing
population Of the country" said Mr.
Durand yesterday. will In time necessi-
tate a census every five years. and
think Il would be a wise plan to provide
for such a system as soon as pcssi-
BILE"
Letter Carriers Best.
Mr.. Durand will also recommend that
the census OF the large cities be taken
by letter carriers instead OF by census
enumerators.
Letter carriers" he said, ARE better
acquainted with the districts in which
they carry mail than an enumerator could
possibly be. The plan would be TO tighten
the work of the carriers during the TAX
ing Of the census in order TO allow them
to devote sufficient time to gather sta
tistical data, and to increase their wages
In exchange for the work they would do. :"
This plan would he more economical
than the present system, in the opinion
OF Mr.. Durand, and would enable better
results TO be accomplished. The letter
carrier would realize that his job would
be placed in jeopardy II he did not make
good as a census enumerator. Mr.. Durand
also believes that fewer questions should
be asked by the enumerators.

Keep Politics Out of It.

If it shall become necessary for Unit
ed States troops to cross the border
into Mexico, that action should be au-
thorized without reference to political
opinions.
The invasion of Mexican territory
would be equivalent to an act of war.
II might be frsught with tremendous
consequences. 1t should be taken,
therefore, only after the most careful
deliberation and upon the practically
unanimous judgment of the Congress.
The fact that more than once in this
country's history there has been a dis
position to make political capital out of
aggressive measures toward other na-
tons offers a temptation to use the
Mexican situation as a political expedi-
ent. We cannot afford, as nation, to
place ourselves in this position. If in
vasion of Mexico is the only means of
protecting American life and property,
and is thus warranted by actual facts,
Congress will undoubtedly take wise
and patriotic action.
But to excite friction with a friendly
republic needlessly, in the hope that 4
display of aggressiveness will win votes
Is not to be considered for a single mo-
ment

Hold.ups in New York.

Jesse James and the crude and cruel
outlawry of the stage-coach days in the
Rocky Mountains and over the Western
trails are no longer to be held up to the
gaze of the world as typical examples
of American highway robbery. Sensa-
tional as those old days were, they are
not TO be compared with the methods
in crime which a new school of hold
up men have adopted in the crowded
thoroughfares of New York City.
The other day four men waylaid an
automobile, at a busy corner in the
business district of New York. silenced
the chauffeur with revolvers, entered
the closed vehicle and wrested hand
bag containing $4,000 in currency that
was being carried by messengers from
one bank to another Now we read
of a similar occurrence in which a
jeweler fastening from one place to an
other in New York was waylaid, beat
en-, and robbed OF gems worth $4,000.
Both these occurrences took place in
broad day, with policemen not far away,
and pedestrians in the streets. Yet, so
sudden was the onslaught of the rob-
bers, so swift their operations, and so
unusual their boldness that in each case
they escaped before an outcry could be
made or any protection given to the
victims of the robberies.
These robberies, of course, are eff
feeted by band of men who know
where and when to expect the coming
of those whom they would rob and who
time their attacks in such manner as
to effect quick departure from the scene
and loss of identity in the crowds of
people who are found everywhere in
New York. The police are not at fault,
unless If be that the methods of the
department in apprehending this new
species of highwaynan have not yet
been developed.
As described, the crimes are very SIM
pie in their plotting and execution. All
that is required is stealth IN approach,
quick action, and plenty of that bravado
which goes under the name of nerve"
The success of the robbers lies in out
whiting the police and the public and
in the security of the automobile be-
cause of its swift movements and the
difficulty that would be experienced in
stopping or boarding the vehicle while
running.
1t is evident that this swift machine
is not proof against the highwayman,
and that police methods viii have to be
revised to meet the new danger to life
and property found in the assaults of
bands of rufians bent on robbery.

An Appeal from the Railroads.

1t is interesting to note that the
Railway Business Association, through
a bulletin issued by Mr.. George A
Post, its president, has appealed to the
country against further reduction oi
freight rates. The argument is that the
railroads need additional funds to pro-
cure rolling stock to carry the in
creased tonnage. and that these facili-
ties cannot be provided, to say nothing
of returns upon capital invested, if the
Interstate Commerce Commission re-
duces rates.
The appeal, which has been sent to
every newspaper in the country ana
which has received wide publicity, is
an evidence that the railroads appre-
ciate the power of public sentiment and
that they are endeavoring to turn this
sentiment in their direction through
well-worded argument.
This is very different from the atti-
tude assumed by Vanderbilt in his IA
nous phrase concerning the public, and
indicates that there is not only an ap-
probation of the power of popular SEN
timent, but that some reliance is placed
upon the judgment Of the people after
the facts have been laid before them in
dispassionates manner. The railroads
are evidently not afraid of the verdict
of the people.

CENSUSDIRECTOR DISCUSSES
POPULATION OF CAPITAL
More than $4,000 Residents Live
In Metropolitan District
tsrsstlng Figures Are Given.

The population Of the metropolitan
district" Of Washington Is 3sI,s6s.
This was given out for the first time
yesterday by Director of the Census Du-
rand. The population OF the metropolis
tan district is $500 greater than that
Of the city proper. Still greater Is the
population Of the "cIty and adjacent ter
ritory," which takes in everything within
radius Of ten miles of the "metropoh-
tan district" 1t Is in round figures. ds,-
45S
The metropolitan district" Is in reality
a part OF the city. although not classi-
fed under the population Of the city
proper. II includes the various suburbs
OF the city and the small towns, the peo-
pie of which do their buying In Wash
ington and have this city as their place
Of business. It includes the commuters,
who while they do not reside In the city
proper have their work here. The met
rupolitan district takes In only the ur-
ban. or thickly settled sections within
the ten-miIe radius. The rural sections
are not included.
Only sparseIy settled.
The adjacent territory" on the other
hand. includes both urban and rural ter
ritory within a radius Of ten miles Of the
metropolitan district" The territory
adjacent to Washington is sparsely set
tied in comparison to that OF other cities.
Director Durand explained this yesterday.
I'm the first place." he said. wash
inEton covers such a large amount OF
territory itself that its suburbs N have
much less population than the suourbs
OF other large cities where the area OF
the city proper Is not so large. Further
more. the houses in washington are built
on the Southern plan. that is, close to-
gether. instead Of detached. as is the
custom in a number of cities. and in
this way there is much more room than
in cities where each house has its own
grounds"
There are 1eO,SSs.2 acres in the metro
politan district" OF Washington. In the
city proper there are ,. 1854 acres, anu
outside the limits Of the city proper 15l.-
9S0.S acres. The population of the metro
politan district in 1910 was o., ,s6s. an In
crease OF 6s.lS5. or 2o.3 per cent, over
1900. In the city and adjacent territory
there ara 550,Is9s acres. 5ll,I6l.: Of which
are in the adjacent territory" The pop
ulation in 1910 was 4l3,i5 an increase Of
67.02s. or 1913 per cent over 1900.

them. These concessions the mine
owners stubbornly refuse to grant. Ar
gument between the Representatives OF
each side has failed, and unless. the
prime minister or some other govern
mental power can step in to heal the
disturbance, Great Britain is face to
face with the greatest industrial crisis
in its history. The wonder IS that the
government has hesitated to exercise
the wisdom through which drastic
measures and the use of soldiery might
have been avoided.

Travel to Washington.

The movement fostered by the South
ern Commercial Congress and the Pan
lma Canal Exposition to divert the tide
Of travel across the Continent through
Washington is one which appeals spe-
cially to local pride and should find
response among the people of the ma
tion. 1t appears that some 10000 per-
sons cross the Continent annually on
business and pleasure trips. Not more
than 10000 of them go through Wash
ington, and it is proposed to interest
trade bodies, raiload passenger agents.
hotel men, and others in the South in a
movement to induce more of these trav-
slers TO go by the Southern routes, visit
Ehe Capital, and stop at other points
IN the South.
At present the tide of travel flows
over the Northern routes to Chicago
and St. Louis and thence on to the Pa
>ihc Coast. Many go or return over
The Canadian railroads, especially in
summertime. The route through Wash
ington to New Orleans and St. Louis
is not longer than those traversed to
the northward, and no argument is
needed to prove that the advantages to
the tourist are not less by the way
through the Southland. 1t is believed
that by a proper statement of the ad-
vantages to be had by going from the
North through the Capital, many trav-
cleEs will be induced to come this way
Such a statement will be formulated and
widely distributed, and the agencies
mentioned, with ono of the local trade
bodies, arc at work upon the details.
Washingtonians feel a natural pride
in their city, and it would be a matter
Of satisfaction if increasing numbers
of people in the States would come
hither on their travels. The journey
would amply repay all who may take it

TALKS ON RADICALIsM.

on IdeaIIsm In society.

Rev. William ]. Kerby. Of Catholic
University, delivered the first Of a Sc
ries of lectures under the auspices OF the
Popular Science Association. last night
at the Highlands. The topic of Father
Kerby's lecture was Aspects of RADICAL
ism" and he dwelt at length on the func-
ton of radicalism in social organizations
Idealism also received a great deal of
attention from the speaker, who inter-
ested his audience throughout the dis
course with vivid recitals OF causes and
effects OF the two.
In his next lecture Father Kerby will
speak on Aspects of conservatism"
making comparisons that will undoubt-
edly prove OF great interest to the mem
bers OF the association. The Popular
Science Association was organized by
Mgr. William T. Russell. pastor of st.
Patricks Church, who has arranged TO
have the lectures given In the ballroom
Of the Highlands. The topics of all the
lectures will be based on question OF

Strike in Great Britain,

Efforts between the miners and the
owners of the collieries in Great Britain
to avert a national coal strike have
reached a crisis where only govern
ment intervention can avail, and that
must be made effective within three
days. The workmen have refused fur
ther delay, and the controversy was
yesterday carried to the prime minister
for adjudication.
Meantime, the miners of the Alfreton
pits, in Derbyshire, have quit work as
evidence that the national association
intends to keep its word. To-day, if a
settlement of demands is not forth
coming, several thousand more miners
in Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire will
abandon the pits. Tomorrow it is
planned to call out many thousand
more, and by Thursday every mine in
Great Britain will be shut down, If the
present programme Is carried out.
; Despite the difficulties in the way of
settlement, it is maintained in Eng
land that the government can bring
about industrial peace, if it will enter
the field and arbitrate between the en-
ployers and the miners The usual
rnpatience is voiced by the public over
he situation, and the Daily Mail of
london goes TO the extreme Of advocat-
ng the use of the army TO move the
coal above ground as a public necessity.
The issues of the strike are higher
wages for the men, shorter hours. and
certain advantages not now enjoyed by

THE POLITICAL PROCESSION
By FRANCIS b. GEssNER.

Since the visit OF Col. Roosevelt IN
Ohio, some of the wise Republicans from
that State now doing business in Wash
inEton on a salary basis have found out
that a man named Lewis Cass Laylin is
the chairman OF the Republican State
committee at Columbus, and is also very
loyal to President Taft.
The softly spoken suggestion has been
given some OF the salaried ones now in
Washington that they might indicate to
Chairman Laylin a desire to do some
thing in behalf OF the administration in
their respective home counties. There
may be some satisfaction. too. for Chair
man Laylin and others Of his faithful
group doing business and saying little at
Columbus II assured that from now on
the administration here In Washington
will not make any Federal appointments
without the approval Of the home man
