TO A MOTHER.

Dear Madam
Do you realize that it is a great mis-
take on your part to overinduIge your
daughter?
Naturally you try to shield your
child and save her from hardships.
Naturally you sacrifice yourself and
efface yourself for her sake That is
the mother Of it.
Which is all right provided the self
inflicted martyrdom does not work
harm TO the daughter. But it may.
/ knew mother who shaved and
pinched, hardened her hands and bow
ed her back and shortened her life in
order to send her daughter to fash

When the girl came home she was
out of touch with her mothers ways.
Instead of broadening and sweeten-
ing the girl her education had simply
fitted her with appetites and am
billions that could not be realized, and
she became a torment instead Of
blessing. ..5
The sequel?
In sheer desperation the fretting. dis

the daughters career"
She is rare child who may be I'M
duly INDUCED without harm
The tender solicitude of doting
but none the less it may work the
daughters undoing.
Let the daughter share her mothers
burdens. Let her face the realities
Give her sane views of life. Teach
her how to overcome obstacles and
bilities on her shoulders and teach her
how to carry them.
Else you may deceive her. Else you
may make her narrow and selfish and
weak and ungrateful
Ease and luxury and freedom from
work will not make character The
fiber of womanliness is wrought into
life by burden bearing.

That goes without saying.

THE PURPOSE OF THE TEST.

1.-The strength of a party lies in the organization,
but the strength of the organization lies in the pur-
pose il has in view," said Governor Wilson at the
Syracuse fair 1T is an age of inspiration, and the
party that absorbs the Of the inspiration is the
permanent party and the triumphant party he
added.
Gospel truth, again, about the Progressive party
and stirring analysis of the reason for its success.
No man can realize better than Wilson himself the
difference between the purposes of the Progressives
and of the Democrats. His own party platform ne
avoids as much as possible. He recognizes how
truly like empty husk it appears in contrast with
the program of the Progressives, alive with its
pledges Of betterment and conservation of humans,
care for the aged protection of children and aid for
all those who have been checked by unequal oppor-
tunity. He has been frank enough to praise these
very purposes, even though he allowed himself to
sneer at them as impractical.
The contrast is compelling one to every man
who regards it fairly. And the test as he declares
is that of the purpose in view The purpose of the
Progressive party is the highest standard ever set by
political party in this land 1t was determined by
the men and women who set out-as on a crusade
to secure human rights and social justice for the
whole land. They entered into it as a covenant 1t
will prove its power. The old parties beginning
to it and they uneasy 1t is the great the
inevitable, contest of Progress against Reaction in
which there is only one result.
According to the diagnosis quite half the voters in
more than half the country showing signs of in
sanity and the other half are feverish.
This is the report of an expert observer Of the
enemy, made to the New York Herald after trip to
the middle West Extract the vitriol and the predc-
ton is that in more tnan half the country today the
plain people have realized what the Progressive
party means to them and are determined TO help it
on to victory. The other half are in danger of be-
coming infected: He takes pains to declare that The
new party is drawing from both Democrats and Re-
pubcans.
He confirms, in fact, the now famous declaration
Of Wilson himself August II:
The force behind the Progressive party is a
feeling of discomfort with the regular parties 1t is the
feeling that have gone into blind alleys and come
out often enough, and that they propose to find the
open road for themselves.

ural competitors. There is every to preserve
their competition. The arguments which support a
consolidation Of two street concerns do not sup
port common control Of the electric and gas busi-
ness In recent years has been part Of the policy
OF the United Gas Improvement Company to protect
its gas monopoly in cities where it has gas plants,
by gathering in also, whenever possible, the electric
business That ends possibility of competition be-
tween two entirely different systems Of lighting with
out bringing into effect any appreciable economies
in management. Common ownership Of gas and elec-
trio business has not been fruitful Of good for the
public in other cities; we think it would be unfor-
nate here
1t is true that consolidation which was effected
entirely in the public interest, which permitted no
imitation, which reduced overhead charges and which
insured universal transfers, might be desirable But
we are very long way from assurance of any such
supervision, in the public interest, as will guarantee
such conditions There has not been enough altru-
ism in the methods and operations of the public
service concerns Of this town. in the past to justify
presumption that they are now going to become
philanthropists.
There is just one way that consolidation might
be effected, with reasonable safety to the public
interest That is, by repeal Of present charters
and the imposition through Congressional action, Of
new plan Of organization that would make the evils
Of imitation absolutely impossible and would insure
reasonable rates, charges and conditions. That sort
Of consolidation is theoretically possible the charters
are ndetermnate. But it is not practically possible
The one plan that would be practicable is through
condemnation and public ownership. That plan may
come some day. The organization of huge holding
company with another so to 100 per cent of soap
suds added to capitaizatons already frothy beyond
all reason, would be more likely to force public own
ership than to get its manipuators into association
with big swag of commissions and promoters

WANTS
DISTRICT SUFFRAGE,
CAMP PA|GN PLANNED
Members Urge Securing of
Vote for Residents at
Any Cost.

The Federation of Citizens Associa-
tions, together with associations not in
the federation, is preparing to wage a
campaign at the next session of Con-
gress for some form Of suffrage for the
people of the District OF Columbia.
At a meeting Of the federation at the
rooms OF the Chamber of Commerce
last night an effort made by President
William Nick. Clayton to have adopted
a resolution declaring II the sense of
the federation that any movement to
give suffrage at the expense of the
half-and-half principle of appropriations
would be opposed, failed Of adoption,
and went over to the next meeting.
A number Of delegates also argued In
favor of representation for the District
Two presidents of associations not af-
fliated with the federation who, as
guests of the federation made addresses
declared for suffrage at any cost They
were Capt. William NJ. Potter, president
of the East Washington Citizens As
sociation. and William J. NeaIe, presi-
dent of the newly formed Central Citi-
zens Association.
Captain Potter took occasion TO de-
clare his allegiance to the Progressive
party, and to urge efforts for suffrage
even at the cost of the half-and-hal
principle.
In Gods name let US rise as one man
and shake off the shackles which bind
the people of the District" he ex-
claimed. He declared that no sane man
would undertake to agree to go into
partnership with another and not have
equal say in the business. This was the
case of the District. he said
Mr.. Neale urged that Congressman be
favored by appeal to their constituents
to grant suffrage to the people of the
District.
The Henry George report also re-
ceived commendation, and a committee
was appointed to examine 1t and report
back TO the association. f. w. Oyster,
of the Petworth Citizens Association.
declared that all the statements which
he had been making for years with
reference TO taxation and assessment
were fully corroborated by the George
report.
The federation also voted to ask the
Commissioners to include in their bud
get $500, 900 for city street improvements
and an equal amount for street I'M
proYements in the suburbs and county.
The proposed amendment to alter the
amendment of the federation by requir-
ing thirty days consideration of every
resolution was withdrawn after discus
sion, and the matter went over to the
next meeting, which will be the first
Saturday night In October.

SUFFRAGE BACKERS
Of DISTRICT SPLIT
ON MAIN QUESTION
ClaAin Forces Adopt New
Platform Tending Toward
Qualified Rights.

With the campaign scarcely we'll un-
der way the advocates Of a liberalized
form of government in the District have
split. There are now two factions one
headed by DR.. Thomas E. Will, who be-
lievcs in complete self-government and
representation in Congress with the
voting power, the other headed by Roy
Claflin, who favors a plan wherein the
District should have a delegate IN Con-
gress with power to talk. but not to
vote.
Dr. VIII has attacked the present
half-and-half scheme of taxation. The
Clatiin forces are lined up in favor of
continuing the present order of things.
Claflin Platform.
A conference OF the Clafin forces was
held yesterday afternoon and the fol-
lowing platform adopted:
"First-That the District of Columbia
should be represented in Congress by a
delegate.
"second-This delegate should be Sc
lected by popular vote. participated in
by both men and women.
"Third-The franchise thus extended
should be a qualified franchise.
'FOurth-No change in the present
form of local government Ia advocated,
and, moreover, the organic law with the
half-and-half principle is defended.
"Fifth-The program Is to be along
safe and sane lines, looking toward the
best interests of the people OF the Dis
trict of Columbia"
Roy c. Clafiin. Frank ]. Hogan, Ellen
Spencer Mussey, Clifford Hoard, VIII
liam NICK. Clayton. and a number of
others participated in this meeting.
Split Over Full Suffrage.
Signs of a split have been apparent
for some time. DR.. VIII and Mr..
Clafin have been calling meetings at
different times and have not partici-
pated in the meetings called by each
other, although DR.. VIII recently sent
an invitation to Mr.. Clafiin to the meet
ing held last Wednesday night.
Both factions seem to have developed
much interest in their work. DR.. VIII
takes the broad ground that there is
no reason in law or logic which COM
lumbia to accept a less free and repre-
sentative form of government than pre-
walls in other parts OF the United
States. The Clafin faction, on the
other hand, is inclined to proceed along
the lines distated by expediency.
Neither faction shows the slightest
signs of waning enthusiasm, and. at the
present rate, both of them will be able
to make showing by December 5,
which will indicate to Congress that the
District is very much in earnest about
having some sort of voice. small oil
large, in running its own affairs.
1t is suggested that, while more con-
crete results might be obtained
through the harmonious working of all
the leaders in the movement, that pos
sibly wider interest and more intense
effort will be obtained by the sudden
eruption of the fight which is now on.

FROM HIS CRAFT
Lieut.. Geiger's Machine
Starts to Sink in Potomac

to the river on a runway. He cut the
motor on and. after skimming over the
water for 200 feet, arose and flew down
the stream for half a mile, when he
was forced to descend because his mo-
tor had gone dead. But, as on two
other occasions, the pontoon Of the bi-
plane refused to support 1t properly
and the heavy machine began to sink.
There was a thrilling race OF motor
boats down the river to the rescue.
Sergt. James Hartman of the Signal
Corps, with a force of enlisted men.
carried several hundred feet of rope in
one boat and tied this 20 the hydro.
By the combined strength Of two
launches the hydro was pulled to the
surface of the water and towed back
to the station.

Maj. Gen. Leonard Wood, Gen. r. X.
Evans and Mrs. Evans, Mrs. A. l..
Mills, Admiral Charles c. vreeland,

THE LESSON OF A FAILURE.

There was both pathos and philosophy in the
plea Of old man arrested for drunkenness in Bal
tmore who said that his life had been failure be-
cause he had never married. Formerly good work
man, earning good wages, he was without an anchor
age and drifted about and now finds himself home
less and penniless
home and family save many men from a
similar ending. The man who has wife and chill
dren gives hostages to fortune, and the sacrifices he
makes for them though he may not know it, are
frequently the stepping-stones to what measure of
success he achieves.
Though the struggle keeps his nose to the grind
stone, and though in many he may fail to reap
fair reward for what he has sown, by and large,
though he has lived in hovel and called it home
he has had something in life of which fate cannot
rob him.

Wants Private Property
To Be Taxed Equally
For Support of District

DR.. Thomas f. VIII made his fifth
open-air speech last night in favor of
representation for the District in Con-
gress and local self-government. He
dwelt particularly on the George re-
port regarding the assessment of prop
erty in the District.
DR.. Will said that he had never
voiced the sentiment that the nation
should not bear it's part of the taxation
burden of the Capital, but that private
property here should bear it's full share.
The revelation Of the George report
that the property Of the city is taxed at
less than one;half It's value renects &C
class. as the property OF the poor is
assessed at full value.

TOWN GETS DEPOT. .
Rogue River Will Have New Station
in Near Future.

The year 1912 is bringing great
changes for Woodville and at the
pace that this enterprising town is
making it will be we'll to the front
of the Is other towns in Rogue river
valley by the close of the year. Start
ing out in pioneer days under the
classical name of Tailhold, later to
be changed to Woodville, in honor
of John Wood, the first postmaster,
and having this spring installed a
municipal-owned water system, put
in electric lights, built sidewalks and
cleaned the streets, prohibited hogs
and other stock from running on the
streets, and developed from a grove
of native oaks and other trees one
of the handsomest parks in the val
ley, the villagers became so infused
with progressiveness that they
changed the name of their town and
now call it Rogue River, and the
name has been accepted by the post
office department and by the South
ern Pacific railroad
And now they are to have a new
depot, that having been recently
promised by the Southern Pacific Of
ficials in appreciation of the enter
prise of the town and of its impera-
tive need for larger and better trans
portation facilities. 1t will be OF
wood, but will be a handsome struc-
ture and large enough to accommo-
date the growth of traffic for years
to come. And it will have the fur
ther advantage that it will be located
| on the same side of the tracks as the
town so that people will not be pre-
vented from reaching it when a train
is in as is now the case with the
present depot And it will not block
the main street of the town as does
the one now in use, but will be
| placed to one side of the street. II
is expected that work on the new
depot will be commenced within the
next 60 days and that it will be
ready for use early this fall
