the true ease and simplicity of style

glish as unvarnished and dainty as

forced into n lovelcss marriage with IA
man many years older than herself,

by two typical residents OF the Back

her native honesty and absolute freedom
from self-consciousness winning for her
the friends that otherwise would have

History of a House.

Standing on the northwest corner
of Fifteenth and B streets north
west. is a small, lodge-like structure
of cement. the windo wsof its two
rooms heavily barred. Upon the
deeply recessed door Is the sign,
Police Station" 1t looks like the
tomb OF a Roman consul. Hardly a
person, resident or stranger, has
ever passed the little building with
out wondering for what purpose It
was put therefor. that 1t was not
intended for a police station at that
point, Is patent at a glance-and,
out OF the many, not one has ever
learned for that best Of reasons
there wasn't any.
When the Capitol was being con-
structed, this little building was
erected on the plaza of the east
front as a combination house, where
in to keep the tools and contuma-
cious slaves among those working
on the structure. After the Capitol's
practical completion, the little
shack was considered an eyesore
and so vas moved away and placed
upon its present site, because 1t was
a good, out-of-the-way place. where
nobody could object to it, since there
was nobody around.
It's principal use, for the last gen.
Grafton, seems to have been to mark
the high water Of the various floods
that have visited the city; on its
face are marked those of 1877 and
others, the great food of 1889. when
Johnstown was destroyed, marking
the highest point.

A Place for the Bows.

Up on p street northwest, there is a
minister who has two sons, now youths
In the spacious front rooms OF his
basement he has fitted up quarters for
his boys, or better. permitted them to
fit things up to please themselves. Here
they have their musical Instruments,
their games and their athletic para
phernalia. and here they can have their
friends, who may enter through a door
without going into the main part of the
house. and kick up racket" as boys
love to do.
The minister is DR.. William R. We'd
derspoon. Of Foundry Methodist Church.
and this is what he thinks about his
plan:
Boys are full of animal life and
spirits: they want to be undignified, &C.
cording to adult standards, to laugh
and shout and toss themselves about
in an abandon of that bubbling animal
life that God has put in healthy bows.
boy is going to get that; II he can
not get 1t at home, he'll surely get It
outside; II he cannot get It in a whole
some, he'll surely get 1t in a vicious
way. I have provided my boys with
everything, to themselves; to them
selves, that is what they want, and
that my plan is a good one is shown
by the fact that not only are they in
, there at night, but their companions
come here to enjoy themselves with
them instead of seeking amusement
elsewhere. And they are not afraid OF
being scolded for having a boisterously
good time"
There have been mighty few better
sermons preached than that

THE REAL VICTORY OF THE NATION.

The Nation has. elected Woodrow Wilson Pres-
dent, precisely as it elected Democratic House Of
Representatives two years ago. Then, as now, the
verdict is against the Republican party.
The Democratic triumph in 1910 brought a bur-
den Of responsibility to Democratic leaders, which
is now increased manifold by their capture Of every
branch of the Government The House is theirs by
majority so huge as to be unweldly and possibly
cause of embarrassment. Discipline will be i'm
possible save under the hands Of very strong lead
ership. The Senate is likewise Democratic, insur-
ing against any division of party responsibility.
1t is tremendous task and magnificent oppor-
tunity that President Wilson has before him. Amer
leans of every party and faction must wish him sue
cess, because national interests far above party and
faction are dependent upon his success or failure.
The dominant note of the campaign that has
ended in his election the note that the Progress.
sve movement sounded. The magnificent testimony
that was paid to Theodore Roosevelt in the form of
vote which left the Republican party in third place.
is as much mandate to President Wilson as it
would have been to Roosevelt had Roosevelt been
elected President Wilson and his triumphant party
are hkey 10 succeed III just ABOUT the measure mat
they recognize this truth. Despite wonderful
slump in the Electoral College, it is not that the
next President has the popular vote to his credit.
For the rest, the Republican party has paid the
penalty of its persistent reactionism. 1t has ceased
to be even of first rate Importance. The political
divisions of first magnitude in future will be the
Democratic and Progressive parties. To have driven
out party of toryism and substituted party Of
Progress is the real victory the people have won.

An Equine Dentist.

There's one doctor in town who
cannot complain of competition. 1t
is DR.. Z. J. Brangle. on N street
near Twelfth street northwest, and
he is the last word in specialization.
Not only is he a doctor, but he Is
a surgeon; not only a surgeon, but a
dental surgeon; and not only dem
tai surgeon, but an equine dental
surgeon. In short. Dr. Brangle is a
horse dentist-and he could travel a
good many hundred miles, say the
liverymen, before he found a COM
petitor.
Nor Is his science restricted to
mere drawing the teeth of suffering
horsehood, He fills the caving molar
and does crown and bridge work for
the aristocracy Of the stable.
An yet there are some pessimistic
folks who talk about the horse being
well-nigh extinct, on account of the
all-pervading automobile.

REVISING FEDERAL COURT PRO.
CEDURE.

The Supreme Court of the United States shows
again that it does not fear change when change
means progress. That great tribunal almost invari-
ably is found ready to cut loose from the dead body
Of precedent and musy tradition when the public
welfare calls for new DEAL
case in point is the courts sweeping revision
Of the rules in equity procedure in Federal courts
throughout the United States especially in the mat
ter of granting preliminary injuncons and restrain
ing orders
The abuse Of the authority to grant preliminary
injunctions and restraining orders has long been
matter Of serious discussion. 1t is true that there
are many Federal judges who have not been subject
to criticism in this respect, judges who have used
this authority wisely as proper remedy against the
doing Of things for which there cannot be adequate
reparaon. But other judges have been as free with
injunctions justice of the peace with warrants,
until even laymen have been able OF see that this
writ was being used for other purposes than to for
ward the ends of justice. There has been much
angry contention as to the of the writ in labor
disputes.
The new rule provides that no temporary injunc-
ton shall issue without notice to the party enoined
and temporary restraining order shall "be grant
ed without notice to the opposite party unless it shall
clearly appear from specific facts shown by affidavit
or by the verified bill that immediate and irreparabe
loss or damage will result to the applicant before
the matter can be heard on notice."
Other changes in the rules make for expedition
in the disposal Of business before the courts thus
remedying a serious grievance
1t is gratifying to see the highest court of the
land ready to listen to complaints and leading the
way to reform in judicial procedure which may be
expected to exert powerful influence on courts
everywhere.

This is the vital point Of contrast that the pres
ent situation presents to that which when Eu-
rope found Russia at the gates Of Cohstantinople.
Russia was then the power outside the concert The
stake Of all the Others each pursuing its own ends
depended upon the integrity Of Turkey; and Turkey
was preserved. Now Austria alone is vitality con-
cerned over the prospect Of her dsmemberment.
Ticklish as the situation is, it is less delicate

the same great incentive to resistance that national
pride in completed victory and national resentment

THE CHANCE OF PEACE.

TIE somewhat positive intimation by the Bal
kan allies that, having undertaken to solve the Mace
DOMAIN question on their own account, they intend
to do it in their way is than might be
pected from states flushed with a notable victory.
There is reasonable expectation too, that they will
stick by their resolve; and if Europe gives them a
free hand, there is also reason to believe that they
can arrive at a conclusion eminenty satisfactory to
themselves and to the inhabitants of Macedonia.
This is such a solution as Europe never contem-
plated. 1t is one which, after the treaty Of San
Stefano in 1878, she distinctly avoided; and the
question of peace or war now seems to hinge upon
whether she can assent to it at this later date.
In certain respects the situation is much as it
was at the close of the Turko Russian war. The
entire section of Macedonia which Russia proposed
to include in the new state Of Bulgaria is now in
Bugaria's hands. 1t goes without saying that she
would insist retaining it, and thus the old threat
Of large Slavic state under Russian domination
again comes to the fore. To Austria it is tine more
real because there is quid pro quo in sight
for her. For if Bulgara's claims be recognized, so
must also Serva's. Austria might once have been
compensated by free way to the Aegean Today
the annexation of old Servia and Now Bazaar to Servia
would not only weaken Austria's influence over her
own Slavic provinces but definitely and permanently
block her advance southwark.
iatng. 1t was her threatening attitude, even more
than Englands that caused Russia to forego the
full fruits of victory in 1878; and since that
date she has guided Balkan affairs to the end that
Saonika might eventually fall to her.
But in 1878 she had the backing Of Western Eu-
rope, Today English animosiy to Russia mas been
succeeded by amiy. The complete internationaliza-
ton of the Suez canal has made Russian Balkan
state far less dangerous than it would have been a

creation tooth and nail; now she be almost in.
different to its existence to the opening of the
Dardanees.
Nor, in maintenance of the already weakened
triple alliance liable to break down and bring about
a new alignment of the powers at any moment, can
there be found sufficient inducement for Germany
TO risk war for the protection or extension of Aus
trias southern frontier. So far as actual personal
interest is involved the dual kingdom stands prac

SALUTAMUS.

The Washington Times salutes Wood
row Wilson, President-elect of the United
States, and wishes that he may realize the
fondest hopes of the earnest Progressive
Democrats who chose to trust their own
party with the mission of re-establishing a
government of the people, by the people, and
for the people. .'-
In every effort for the good of the
masses, in every attempt to serve the voters
who made his election sure, he will have the
unstinted support of The Times, and con-
versely in every failure to faithfully fulfill
the high duties of the Presidency he will have
equally hearty opposition.

RUSSIA NAILS SOME LIES.

Russia has indicated its official dignity by de-
stroying, after much deberaton, world oil fiction
regarding the accident that befell the heir to the
throne several weeks ago by issuing belated state
ment on the event. One of the reports that went
around the world told how Nihlst heroine, after in
gratiatng herself with the admiral in command of
the royal yacht where the affair occurred had sue
ceeded in shooting the Czarevtch. The court nips
this and other nflammatory rpmances in the bud by
stating that the boy tried to jump into a boat and
fell, hurting himself severely. Loss of blood has
produced anemia, and the prince has also temper
arily lost the v his legs. Undoubtedly the Rus
sian people at large will appreciate this mark Of
confidence in their patriotic interest in the royal
family and out Of such condolences often springs
great sympathy.

Nearly billion and a half has been spent on
these eight naval establishments during the last two
years. Not a million of the American expenditures
for ships could have been spared without mpairing
efficiency. If any error has been made in our naval
appropriations it has been in spending not too much
but too little. The estimate for the coming year
should have been larger by the cost of another
