tensive advertising of the trip.

ANOTHER WAY TO REDUCE 1T.

The same newspaper told today of two proposed
methods of dealing with the high cost of living.
Some pages were devoted to the tarf-revsion plan.
A quarter of column went to the DeKalb county,
ILL.,, plan. But the latter looks decidedly better.
DeKalb county three years ago, finding its soil
getting less productive, hired soil expert to ad
wise farmers how to attain highest productivity He
is now credited with producing average increase
of ten bushels per acre in the counVs corn crop.
The farmers did what they were told, and the expert
seems to have told them the right thing.

A SENSIBLE RULING.

The Maryland Public Utilities Commission has
ruled that when local passenger train is on time,
and through limited train is late, the local must
not be held back in order to give clear track for
the limited. The presumption is that each train is
entitled to its own schedule, and the train which
cannot make that schedule has no right to crowd
the train which make its own schedule, out of
ib rights.
This is righteous ruling that ought to be sus-
tained. The local trains and the freight business
earn the revenues; the limited trains are the plate
glass front of our railroad business, and altogether
TOO much expense and attention is devoted to them
The American railroad business would serve the
country better if there were less Dragging about
eighteen-hour, thousand-ile trains, and less COM
plaint about the consumption of weeks in getting
. freight car few scores of miles,

WOMEN WIN IN MICHIGAN?

Michigan yesterday voted on the question of CIV
ing the franchise to the women, and early returns
indicate that the proposition will carry.
The defeat few months ago accomplished
by very narrow majority, few hundred votes in
the entire States poll 1t charged that extensive
frauds in Detroit worked this result; and the present
returns from the precincts that were then suspected
indicate clearly that the charges of fraud well
grounded.
Suffrage, like progressivism in general, is coming
toward the Atlantic coast Signs are not wanting
that the East is getting ready for period of radical
ism quite as marked as that which has marked the
distinctively progressive States of the West.

A PORK-BARREL PROTEST.

The village of Leesburg, Va, is entitled to rank
with the immortal towns of Lexington and Three
Oaks. Leesburg if we may judge by letter which
comes to The Times, doesn't want lot of Govern
ment money wasted giving it bigger and better
postof6ce than it can use!
So far as can be learned the case is without
parallel. Our correspondent insists that he reflects
the opinion of large body of the best citizenry in
his protest. If he is correct, Lecsburg deserves
place in the civic hall of fame. Think of town
willing to refuse postofce building merely because
it isn't needed! 1t is beyond belief Read the letter.
and marvel:
Leesburg. Loudoun County, Va. April s. 1913
Editor Washington Times
After several letters the different departments we
learn this village of 1900 inhabitants whom are
white. is to nav" $4,000 postoce. This includes
site and is maximum Is there possibility OF pro-
curing minimum of. say $4,000?
This act Of public buildings of March carries other
iniauitous OUTLAWS; but when we already have better
commodations than have ever seen in town Of this
size-the Leesburg outlay seems gratuitous. Our
present postmaster protested. On the $4,000 basis
Washington should spend eleven and Manhattan one
hundred and ten millions for postotice buildings
The better types of this community opposed TO
this outlay weakly protest that if the Government
must throw money away why should not Leesburg get
its share?
This letter spontaneous and carries ulteror mo-
tive Of personal naturebut it meets the approval in
spirit of many to whom the writer has talked. We
Congressman Carlin will exercise restraint
has the decision to the amounts necessary for the
community needs We think he would gain wide ap-
proyal il he the rescinded present
quarters adequate.

countries. -

The pork-barre habit of Congress would be
eradicated very quickly indeed if there were few
expressions of that sort from other places.
