D. THE MILKMAN
By Berten Braley.
The milkman rises when it's dark
Before the roosters crow,
And ere the sunrise you can mark
He's driving to and fro;
In summer it is hard enough
A milkman's job to hold,
But in the winter it is tough,
And gee, but it is cold!
And there are many stairs to
climb
And many bells to ring,
And many kicks from time to
time
About most everything;
If milk is thin or old or sour,
Whatever fault they clam.
The milkman, every day and
hour,
Is sure to get the blame,
In many an area7way he gropes
And stumbles on the cat,
He has to pull dumbWaiter ropes
For many sixth floor fiat;
No easy path is his to trot,
For when all's said and done,
The ordinary milkman's lot
Is not happy one.

It would seem this was an old trick.

mislead and distract attention by gran
diloquent jargon while they again dou-
BILE the price Of water which flows as
freely out OF the Potomac into the con-
dult as 1t ever did and costs nothing;
neither did the building OF 1t cost any
thing, being a gift from the War De-
partment for the benefit of the resi-
dents.
When the District building got con-
troll of II they professed TO run II with
out profit, yet they have been continu-
ally increasing the price to consumers
by leaps and bounds, while, as a matter
OF fact, they should have reduced
prices. They deal in commodity which
costs nothing, and 100, 200, 600 gallons will
flow through the conduit just as cheaply
as 100000.
Now, compare the street car COM
panies. They deal In commodity
which costs money. and, despite the
constantly increasing cost of cars, OF
rails, of labor, OF operating, millions

reduced fares, to six for 25c.

OPPOSES THE HAGUE
AS COURT TO PASS
ON PANAMA TOLLS
Senator Lodge Says 1t Is I'm
possible to Get Disinter-
ested Tribunal.

The fact that II the free tolls ques-
ton Is submitted to The Hague 1t will
be a foregone conclusion the decision
will be against the United States, was
strongly brought out in the Senate dis
cussion yesterday on the Panama canal
bill.
Senator Lodge. in discussing the mat
ter. said that 1t woud be impossible to
find a disinterested tribunal, and the
interest of other nations would lie in
making a decision against the United
States.
For that reason he held an appeal to
The Hague was useless.
Senator Smith of South Carolina in
jected a new feature into the debate
by his assertion that the canal territory
was domestic territory, and therefore
the question of tolls was a domestic
concern, and was not one which this
country could properly submit to arbi-
tration.
Senator Lodge, who had an intimate
acquaintance with the Hay-P -Pauncefote
treaty. being on the Foreign Relations
Committee the time, inclined strongly
to this view. He believed the canal
strip was American territory, and the
canal American water.
The end OF the canal debate 10 not
yet in sight. 1t is expected to last for
a number of days. The detailed British
protest has not vet been received.

part OF Indiana and surrounding States.
Here we have one good line-the Four
teenth street line-and others that run
from passable to horrible, in service and
equipment, and one electric interurban
line-the w. B. a A.-and several sub
urban lines, Of which the less said the
better.
admire a man who sides with the
under dog, occasionally, but in this
case the under dog-the street car
companies-are under because they re-
fuse to be anywhere else; therefore,
why stick up for them regardless Of
the accuracy Of comparisons between
Washington and other cities?
Further, why compare conditions here
with those in Philadelphia, New York,
and other Eastern cities? Why not
compare them with conditions in, say,
indianapolis, Chicago, Cleveland. CO.

MORAL LEGISLATION FOR BUNcoMBE,

Congress has passed. and the President will sign
bill prohibiting interstate transportation of moving
picture films representing prize fights.
Great moral reform Noble work of lawmakers
devoted to the uplift of mankind, the moral improve
ment of the people,
Magnificent bosh While the commerce clause is
thus stretched to piece of legislation that is
absolutely not needed because the States have un-
questioned police powers to fit the case there slum-
bers peacefully in cobwebbed pigeonhole the legs-
lation that seeks to give States an effective control
over liquors shipped in interstate commerce into dry
communities
But then, there is endless money, "inflooence"
and potentially of campaign funds in the liquor busi
ness
There isn't anything of the sort in the prize fight
picture industry.
So the people get hunk of bunk instead of the
real thing. What's the difference! The poor fool
people, anyhow!
The Washington times., 1912-07-21
INCOMPETENCE? YES, APLENTY.

The coroner's jury finds, precisely as was ex-
pected that employe careless and incom-
petent and that this accounts for the ball park street
car accident Of Friday evening.
This motorman had been thus employed for
about ten days.
Isn't it barely possible, now, that a grand jury
inquiry would enlighten the question Of who was so
careless and incompetent to send utterly mex
perienced and inexpert man to handle a rush Of
business at such dangerous point?
CareessnesS and incompetency, indeed! Let US
locate all there is of it, all the way up.
Is it possible that the blame for this accident is
actually to be imposed on the poor devil who with
ten days experience sent to the most dangerous
service the whole traffic scheme of the city affords
Is it the motormans fault that he couldn't become a
skilled operator in ten days?
1t is time for the grand jury to take hold and do
real serious piece of investigating.

THE CIVIL SERVICE AND POLITICS.

The Civil Service Commission is going to inves-
tigae Federal officials who have been too active in
politics. They're going to be bounced too, it is
announced, if they've been too active.
Well, maybe. Starting a crusade like this after
the nomination has been stolen through the Federal
employees assistance, is like locking the barn after
the horse has gone It's about as efcacious as pub
fishing facts about campaign funds after election.
STILL it would be pretty characteristic If the Ad-
minstration after sending out Mckinley to bludgeon
and bulyrag the postmasers into doing the trick for
Taft would now fire enough Of them to justify a
vaudeville turn in holier-than-thou high -jinks.
The Washington times., 1912-07-21
RECALL ALL RIGHT---IF.

Six Of the Maryland Presidential electors are for
Roosevelt. They are for Roosevelt because they re-
fleet the sentiment of their respective districts, as
evidenced by the votes of the Republicans of these
districts
In order that this may be changed it is now pro-
posed by the Taft managers to call another State
convention in Maryland and have these electors re
called" and Taft electors who do not represent the
sentiment of the State put in their place.
The proposition to submit the recall to direct
vote of the people does not meet with favor at the
White House The Taft forces and Special Privilege
want the recall effected by bosscontrolled
ton.
The Republican party and Taft are in favor Of
the recall if the recall is done by bosses, not by the
people. Where it is proposed to have the people
pass upon the recall the scheme is revolutionary.
The bosses are the only ones to be trusted with
affairs of party and government, according to this

PRoHIBIrIvE EXPENSE OF THE PRIMARY

his expenses in the campaign which renomnated him.
He swears that he didn't spend cent; not one
cent
From Penrose, Barnes Crane Lorimer Stephen
son, Taft and the rest in the descending scale Of
reactonary leaders, we hear that the insuperable
objection to primaries is that they cost so much
poor man can't enter one.
They do: for men Of the Penrose Barnes Crane
-Stephenson-Taft sort.
And even then they get beaten, usually.
The who represents the people need fear

ask II there Is any law which compels
her to sit In the seat to which she OBJ
jects so strongly. Perhaps 1t is because
she is one OF those women who likes 10

seat she bumps into, IL SO, then she
is no. the only one, she has plenty OF
company,
has lots OF folks who are always want
ing sometime for nothing, and when
they do get II, then they set up kick
because things are not run TO suit their
ideas. II has been noted and comment.
