who are fussing because 1t Is past train

The baggage master has great deal of
work to do and the welfare Of hun

worries. Worry and baggage men are
strangers. A baggage man wouldnt
worry II forty trains were to leave In
ten minutes and two hundred passengers
were yelling for their checks.
Why should he? Wouldn't the pas
sengers be doing all that could be ex-

The baggage man never worries be-
cause he never hurries. Once a bag
gage man hurried and the members OF
his profession tried him for heresy. But
he proved that he was checking his own
trunk and he was acquitted.
The baggage master has spent years

James s. Sherman.

y The news of the passing away las'
night of Vice President james S
Sherman caused a wave of sorrow tc
sweep the country, not because he was
great statesman or great orator
but because he was a good and patri-
etic citizen and lovable man.
The country mourns with his fam
lily, mourns because tens of thousands
of people knew him personally, knew
his many good qualities and his demo-
cratic ways.
Mr.. Sherman filled with honor to
himself an extremely difhcult position,
one that called for great deal OF
tact and required wide knowledge OF
men. These he possessed in mark
ed degree, and as result his guiding
hand will be. greatly missed by the
grave deliberative body over which he
presided.
His sunshiny nature. his genial
manner, his gracious ways and un-
sweving courtesy attracted and made
warm, personal friends of the people
he met. A manly man, one who en-
joyed outdoor life, he entered into the
life Of the people, their joys and pleas
ares were his, and as a result many
eyes were dim and misty when it be-
came known that he had passed on to
the Great Beyond. Almost to the last
minute he had the welfare of his be-
loved country at heart, for not until
his mind was stilled did he lose interest
in the grave affairs that are now
Occupying the attention of his fellow
citizens.
The American people. regardless of
political affiliations. deeply sympathize
with his family in their great loss and
appreciate his great work, realizing he
might be still alive and enjoying life
had it not been for his devotion to the
duties of his high Office. The Great
Masters words can be repeated: well
done, thou good and faithful servant"

circle in every direction and with every
degree Of speed. They endanger at this
place the lives and limbs of the many
small children. for whom the circle is
and has been for years a center Of rec
reation. They also are menace to
those grown persons who are daily be-
circle by the apparent nonexistence OF
any rules of the road to govern auto
mobile traffic in this section.
AS the conditions are. where l have
just described them. SO they are
throughout the city. in some places
worse than in others, but everywhere
wretched.
In New York City there is a certain
reform club which frequently takes the
lead in procuring remedial legislation
when city conditions seem to demand it.
This club, to which I have the honor
to belong has recently begun a vigorous
fight to better automobile traffic in that
city. Here We have no such club, but a
campaign to procure the kind of reform
to which l refer In this letter must. 30
it seems to me, be inaugurated and
waged by some one or all Of our news
papers.
Here. then. is a cause worth fighting
for. Let US have legislation enacted
which will provide the machinery ne
cessary to protect our lives and the
lives OF those dear to us from the sud
den deaths and useless injuries which
SO many of the drivers of automobiles
threaten daily to infiict with their reck-
less driving and inso!ent disregard Of the
rights of others.
We have in the District of Columbia
no automobile law or regulations worthy
Of the name. and such as there are dc
not at all equal the laws in New York
State or in Pennsylvania. unsatisfac-
tory as even they may be. To enact salts
factory laws on the subject. and to
provide a satisfactory solution of the
existing danger should not be left solely
to the initiative Of some one or a few
Congressman. or to the District Com
missioners. Nor should the attempt be
made by means Of unrelated or sporadic
laws or regulations. Rather. let us have.
through your paper or through some
other means. a committee of public spir-
tied citizens appointed. whose object ii
will be to study the subject and arrive
at a conclusion as to the best means OF
putting a stop to the outrageous con-
di,ions which at present exist. Let this
proposed body take the necessary steps
to have such laws enacted as it may
consider necessary to carry out the re-
forms II may advise.
At present it would seem that the
only protection afforded the public in
general lies in the fear of the imposi-
ton of a comparatively light fine for the
violation of the existing speed regula-
tions. the lesser fear of an occasional
criminal prosecution for manslaughter. a
fear which is less. because such prose-
cutions are so unusual, and the fear of
possible civil actions for damages. Man.
ifestly something more is needed. Just
what 1t is. no one man can state. but
the. fact remains that conditions are
bad. and are such as 40 not exist and
