SAYS MoT0RMEN ARE LAX.
Citizen Calls Attention to Failure to
Ring Bell.
o the Editor of The Star:

To the Editor of The Star: 49,
At this particular time, when so much
is being done through your columns to
enlghten the public as TO the proper pre-
cautions while on our streets looking to
the safety of both vehicles and pedes-
trians, allow me to call attention to
very lax rule of the street railway, name
w. the utter indifference on the part of
the motorman, as a rule. to ring the
bell for a passing car that has stopped
to let off passengers. The danger seems
to be very great along this line.
Only this morning l alighted from
car at 9Th and l streets, walked around
behind the car to continue my way on
street west, only escaping being run
down by a car passing by two feet No
hell whatever was sounded as an alarm
while said car was going by. If you
will observe, not one in five ring the bell
at such times.
Surely the citizens of the District should
appreciate the efforts you are making in
your columns to bring about a plain, eff
fective, we'll defined traffic regulation
for the safety of man, beast and We
hicles. WILLIAM HENoERooN.

which takes place tonight at the Gar

the battle to his opponent from the
first clang of the bell until the last.
He never permits his opponent a Sc

These whirlwind tactics have made
Flynn popular in every city where he

ments. Not all the banks making
longtime farm loans at low rates
are of the strictly cooperative char
acter, even when managed chiefly by
the borrowers. Money is secured by
bonds and loaned TO farmers. The
bonds of a government supervised
bank based upon mortgage loans to
farmers ought to be safe and in
viting investment.
Whether or not we shall be able
to adopt any system of the several
found to work admirably in Europe
over long series of years, the need
for some system to accomplish the
same purpose is urgent. Hundreds
of millions of dollars are needed to
pare for that better farming which
is absolutely necessary to save the
agriculture of the country from fall
ing hopelessly below the country's
needs. Dairy barns are needed silos
are needed, stock shelters are need
ed, fencing is needed, machinery is
needed. water systems are needed,
soil building is needed, drainage is
needed, and a multitude of other
things are needed, to equip the farms
of the United States for modern agri-
culture. This money should be avail
able to the farmers at interest rates
at least as low as commercial rates
of equal security, and on long time,
to enable the farmer to take both in
terest and principal out of the soil.
Show the American farmers prac-
ticable way to accomplish this and
they will not be too independent to
take advantage of it.
