Il Is Taft or Wilson.

II is Tart or Wilson.
1t is then merely question wheth-
|er you want Taft or Wilson to win.
You can not elect Roosevelt. but you
can throw enough votes to Roosevelt
to make the election of Taft impos-
sible.
Now, if that is what you want to
do, then you should do it. Our re-
marks are not to you, then. They
are merely for such members of the
Republican party as still believe in its
principles. To the man who merely
wants to defeat the party to punish
Taft, we have no argument to make.
He is beyond our reasoning powers.
The country is at the present time
| in fine position and in fine condition.
Prosperity is Astounding in the land.
| We take it that no rational-minded
man can desire change from the in
dustrial or commercial conditions of
1.-THE country. They are about as good
as they could be, although many
might want them to be still better.
| Do You Want an Experiment?
Do you then want to embark on
four years of experimentation, simply
4 because you do not like Mr.. Taft-and
you will find that you simply think
you do not like Taft. There is no
real basis for the dislike. He is not
perfection He is full of mistakes. He
4 is stumbling mortal, as the rest OF
us. But he has given the country the
! best there is in him. And it has
been a good best, after all has been
said The country has prospered and
it has kept the peace and the corpor
atoms that have violated the laws
have all been brought, or are being
brought, to observe the laws Of the
land.
But the supreme question for you tc
decide is whether or not you want te
change the policies OF the government
to enter upon a series of experiments
experiments that have, always been
disastrous in the past, simply because
you happen not to like Mr.. Taft
4 You can not by any manner of cal
culations now elect Mr.. Roosevelt
4 Do you want to defeat the Republi
can party and all that it has stood
/ for?

Is the Party Suddenly Bad.

IS thc FdFty SuuoSHiy 0ao.
We are now told, all of a sudden,
that this party has ceased to be an
achieving party, that it has suddenly
become corrupt and corrupting
organization. This good and great
organization, after fifty years of SER
vice, almost in day fell from grace
and fell so deeply that it ought to
be killed, wiped out of existence,
blotted out of the affairs of the ma
ton.
And how did it fall so suddenly?
What brought it about? What is the
fact and what the philosophy OF that
fall?
Listen: Its failure to nominate
Theodore Roosevelt. If it had nom
mated him at Chicago last June,
there is no one in the land who
would today be crying for it's death
Every man who is now denouncing
the party as worthy of death, would,
in that case, now be proud of its rec
ord of its achievements-and Roose-
welt the most of all.
Do you doubt this statement? Just
read it over again and see if you can
not agree with it-because it is liter
ally and spiritually the truth.

CTIONS.
THE MODERN DRAGON.
b. WILLIAM n. BAWDIN.

NloDJ1IhIN DllfNJONs
! We are all familiar with the story
iof st. George and the dragon, how
the latter, prowling around a com
munity, demanded a virgin each day
whom he devoured for food. 1t was
only when st. George gave mortal
battle to the monster that the coun-
try was rid Of the scourge. Occa-
sionally there appears in the papers
the story of some young woman dis
appearing suddenly and mysterious
ly from home, such as Dorothy Ar
mold, never to be heard of again. II
we are to believe investigators, there
are at least $4,000 such disappear
ances every year in these United
States!
An olden time hero of the Irish
was King Brian Boru, whose boast
that his kingdom was a safe place In
which to live was substantiated by
his causing a beautiful young virgin,
carrying a ring Of great value on
the end of a wand, to traverse the
length and breadth Of his domain,
which she did unmolested. How far
could such a young woman travel
today without harm? Not far, II
we are to believe the many cases
that are cited. In the light Of such
a revelation, It is not safe for any
woman to travel far alone, except
with the exercise of the utmost
vigilance.
The mind naturally reverts to the
fraudulent advertisements Of en-
ployment, by which unwary women
have been lured to their ruin. But
that touches only a limited class. 1t
is particularly the traveller, who
comes to some great city as a
stranger, perhaps In the pursuit Of
employment, oftentimes on a visit
to a friend, sometimes it is on a
journey frequently made before.
Then there comes the misunderstood
direction, the disappointment in
meeting the friend, the confusion Of
the crowd at the terminal point, per-
haps some slight accident that wholly
disarranges well laid plans; then the
appeal to ONE courteous looking
stranger, On the train or on the plat
form or in the street, a ride In a taxi
to the supposed destination but real
ly to a house of questionable char
acter, etc.
Fifty thousand every year-what
a monstrous dragon! Is there m
chivalry left among men? 1t is a
pretty state Of affairs when a trust
ing woman dare not ask a simple
direction from any respectable look
ing passer-by, when she must look
with suspicion upon every man I'M
known to her. Such miscreants,
traitors to honorable manhood,
should be soundly thrashed when
ever discovered, no matter what
their apparent respectability or Soc
ial standing.
For the protection of the travel
ling public, whether man or woman,
there has been organized of recent
years the Travellers Aid Society,
whose agents are to be found at all
railroad and steamship terminals,
identified by their badges, to assist
the unsophicated and those travel
ling alone. Then there are always
the police, and the uniformed en-
ployes of the railroads and steam
ships themselves. Appeal to them,
never to a stranger.

SCHOOL CHILDREN
Of CLARENDON TO
HAVE FACILITIES
Citizens Hold Mass Meeting,
and Action Is
Probable.

The situation confronting the citizens
of the Arlington district, whose chill
dren are not permitted to attend the
schools of Washington free of charge
because of the enactment of a new
law this year was discussed at a meet
ing of the Clarendon Citizens Associa-
tion last night.
The school facilities Of Arlington can
not accommodate the usual number of
children In the district. Only 5000 was
collected in revenue from all sources
last year, and so inadequate was this
fund that some teachers were not paid
last June because of the deficiency.
Next year 1t is proposed to assess each
taxpayer his proportionate amount to
meet the increased demand for school
facilities. Three more teachers and
probably new school building will he
needed. Those who spoke last night in
cluded @. II. Rucker, w. c. Wibert, A.
p. McShane, e. e. Wilson, G. p. Phil
+. Dillon.
Criticisms which have appeared in
some Virginia newspapers regarding the
condition of the schools in the Airing
ton district were resented. The superin-
tendent of schools, w. E. Hodges, gave
detailed account of the system, and
defended the school teachers of his dis
trict, who, he said, were just as efficient
as those employed in the washington
schools. He also submitted an item
lied account of the receipts and ex-
peditures for the past year.
in favor of taking whatever new steps
are necessary to give the school chill
dren of Clarendon proper facilities for
education at the coming session.

SUSPECTS HELD IN
HEAVY BONDS ON
ROBBERY CHARGES
Police Say They Have Col
ored Men Who Assault
ed Victims.

Two confessed highway robbers, both
colored, former convicts, who have kept
residents and pedestrians In the vicin-
ity Of First street and Virginia avenue
southwest in constant terror recently
by brutal assaults upon victims whom
they subsequently robbed, were held in
heavy bond for the action Of the grand
jury, when arraigned in the United
States branch of the Police Court today.
The men are Roscoe Middleton and
Charles Cash. Middleton is charged
with two cases OF highway robbery and
Is held In $1,000 bonds, and Cash, with
one charge against him is held In $500
bond.
Confident that they will be able to
fasten other crimes against the two
men the police declare today that the
L4p.ulc o. ,ne pair ls the most import
ant catch that has been made in WASH
lngton for months.
In each of the three cases SO far
inturd their victims prior to robbing
them. Giuseppi Sansalon, an Italian
from whom they wrung $40 under
threats of killing him, was knocked
senseless by blow on the back Of the
head while walking in Virginia avenue
week previous William King, colored,
was waylaid In a similar manner and
robbed, while few days later William
Mattox met similar fate.
Sansalon and King were both taken
70 the hospital and had to remain in
tne assaults. That the skulls of the
men We're not fractured was due only
to good fortune. The three victims

VALUATION OF GAS
COMP MPANY'SPROPERTY
EXPECTED SHORTLY
Purpose Is to Satisfy Stock
holders as to What Hold
ings Are Worth.

The report on the valuation Of the
property of the Washington Gas Light
Company, as compiled by Humphries
Miller, an expert employed by the gas
company itself, will be made within q
few weeks, according to H. s. Reeside,
vice president of the company.
The valuation is being made for the
purpose Of determining to the salts
faction of the officers and stockholders
what the property is worth and also
for the purpose of being able to meet
whatever findings a Congressional in
yestigation may bring about should the
Lobeck resolution be passed at the next
session.
Despite the fact that the company has
paid large dividends ever since the days
when Washington gas users paid the
exorbitant price of $3.50 per thousand,
much money derived from earnings has
been put into the plant in the way of
improvements and extensions.
To some extent these earnings have
been capitalized, contrary to the most
modern methods of apportioning proper
capital accounts. There have been hun
dreds of thousands of earnings spent,
however, against which the company
has not issued stock If the company
claim of a value of 900 Is correct.
