Comparisons Are 0dious.

Among the 100000 people living in
London, the worlds greatest city,
twenty-one persons were killed by au-
tomobiles last year. In Washington,
Capital of country where the rights
of life, liberty, and the pursuit of hap
piness are ostentatiously, inviolably
sacred, vehicles-automobiles, street
cars, and other carriages-killed thirty
two persons, among a population of
$4,000.
The traffic regulations of the City
of London, founded upon the rules
composed by Mr. William P Emo, of
this city, are simple and direct and
brief. They tell what rights the pc
destrian has, what duties he has, in
his passage through the streets. They
tell what rights drivers on vehicles
have, what duties they have in their
passage.
The traffic regulations of Washing
ton, where the complete success of Mr..
Eno's regulations in London and Paris
has created little impression upon Of
ficials, are of a bulk that lends them
their only impressiveness. They are so
nearly incomprehensible to the average
driver as to be ineffective of any re-
suit whatever beyond confusing in the
mind of the average driver the already
known first principles of right of way.
They are so tediously long that the
average pedestrian would rather be
run down by a twenty-year-old, one
cylinder, two-cycle, rope feed. high
wheeled motor-wagon than read them
through.
That is one of the reasons for street
accidents in Washington. What Sir
William Nott-Bower, London's police
commissioner, said in regard to the en-
forcement of traffic regulations, sug-
gests another reason.
In London" says Sir William, eve
hold man accountable when he kills.

"Serve Us an Egg"

1t is but a vain pleasure that any
of us can get out of such misfor-
tune OF a neighbor as that of our
trans-equatorial friend, Brazil, which is
reported to be paying twice as much
for eggs as the United States. Eggs
there cost dollar dozen, and then
sometimes you are disappointed Capt
J. F. Ellison, president of the
Amazon River Steam Navigation Com
pany, stated in speech in Cincinnati.
With eggs fifty cents (and more) a
dozen here, it takes brave and gen.
erous heart, as well as a sturdy stom-
ach, to have the least concern over
what eggs cost in Brazil, or England,
or the AntipodeS. or Iceland. The
family provider-or the self-provider-
who has to pay for eggs unfortunately
for his own equanimity, can nearly
always remember the good old days
when he could buy fresh country eggs,
right out of the nest, for bit a dozen.
Now, when very few persons either
know what a bit" is, as measured in
the standard money system of our ma
ton, or regard traditions of low
priced hen fruit as anything more than
Granther's Tales, Il should worry" is
the most gracious comment we can
make on Brazil's troubles, as we buy
our eggs at four bits the dozen-a bit,
it may be explained for the enlighten-
ment of the present generation, being,
or having been, twelve and one-half
cents

took simon aside with words OF ap-
proval for all that was said and
hope that all said was true. but the
old chap, asserted to Cameron that the
promise of taking breakfast in Har-
risburg and eating supper in Phila-
delphia the same day was all bunk
that no one OF any sense In the Cum
berland Valley would be fooled by such
an impossible proposition. As the
schedule time by rail from Harrisburg
to Philadelphia IS about three hours.
the old Senator told the story of his
dubious friend merely to illustrate that
the pioneers in railroad building had
their troubles. II reminded, too, OF
the struggle Morse had to get $4,000
from Congress for an experimental
telegraph line between Baltimore and
Washington. A Congressman whose
name has been deservedly forgotten
opposed the BILL declaring that IL the
peoples money was thus voted away
on foolish schemes, some one would
come along declaring that he could
talk over a wire. which, OF course, was
absolutely impossible. Well, the con-
clusion Is. that things have moved some
since those day. and will keep on NOV
ing"

parliamentary clerk Of the house, Mr..
Charles R. Crisp, became a member OF
the House of Representatives, the peo-
pie of the United States would incline
TO the belief that public issues are
rather more rare than Republicans in
the Commonwealth which has pro-
duced such giants as Ben Hill, Alex
ander H. Stephens, Little Joe Brown,
and Ty Cobb.
The heavy planks of Mr.. Crisp's
platform, according to the reports of
his successful appeal to the voters of
the Third Georgia district, were made
of reforms" he wished to see insti-
tuted in the District of Columbia.
While the residents of Washington
have been piteously appealing for a
more general interest throughout the
country in the country's Capital, Mr..
Crisp has proved the one man who
promised 'if chosen by the free and
intelligent members of my party" as
the candidates assertion is usually
phrased, to aid in changing things in
the ten-mile square
It's the half and half system by
which the municipal expenses of the
District are paid that Mr.. Crisp would
change. This is taken from his plat
form:
/ am opposed to this injustice of tax
ing the people of Georgia and other
States to maintain the government of
Washington, and if l am elected shall
endeavor to repeal this unjust law and
let the citizens of Washington pay
their own expenses and manage their
own municipal affairs as do the citi-
zens of all other cities and towns in
the United States. Georgia contributes
yearly for the cause about $4,000.
Well, $4,000 is a whole potful of
money-down in Georgia. 1t amounts
to more than nickel head for every
man, woman, and child in the Empire
State of the South. The $4,000 Mr..
Crisp draws for his term of two years
in Congress is only 10 per cent of the
$4,000 he will save the people of
Georgia.
Whatever the people of the District
suffer as a result of Mr.. Crisp's en-
deavors to change a system which has
proved advantageous to the develop
ment of the National Capital and not
appreciably onerous to the
people of the United States, it will be
a solace to reflect that Mr.. Crisp is
saving every man, woman, and child,
from the barefoot boy on the farm to
the well-booted, well-heeled bondholder
of the Gateway of the South, more
than a nickel, not quite a dime.
The Washington herald., 1913-11-29
Criticism of Foreign Missions.

Every one has a right TO his own
opinions" is an old maxim, but one
which is the cause of much confusion
and frequently of acrid discussion. DR..
Keshava Deva CaStri, a delegate to
the Purity Congress recently held in
Minneapolis from BenareS, India, took
. occasion to speak in terms of censurc
and almost ridicu1e OF the work that
is being done by our missionaries in
his country.
OF course, it is natural for a for
eigner to resent the intrusion of a new
religion on his people, and it may be
that this resentment induced the doctor
TO speak as he did. But it must be
said that he only repeated what has
been said by others on many occasions +;
and conspicuously in the recent past by
ex-Congressman Tom Watson of
Georgia in his magazine.
DR.. Castri asserted that only the low
caste Hindus can be induced to nom
inally adopt the Christian religion, and
these do it for food and the comforts
of life, which are denied them other
wise. They crowd around the missions
and profess conventional piety in or
der to be sure of an easy time in this
world, whatever they may think of the
next.
No doubt there is some truth in the
charge made by the distinguished Wis
itor that our missionaries live like lords
in these pagan countries. They COM
penSate for what they lose in leaving
their own country by making it as
pleasant as possible for themselves in
their new field, and hence they live
sumptuously and surrounded by large
retinue of servants. an all human prob
ability" says the Memphis News Scim-
itar, mission funds are sometimes mis-
used and diverted from the purpose for
which they were intended, but in spite
Of this it is undeniable that much good
has been done, not only 10 those who
receive, but also to those who give.
Giving is an effectual means of de-
stroying selhshness, as well as being a
source of JOY. Those who give are
made the better by it, because behind
the gift is the glory of giving, and be-
hind the giving is the giver, who is
influenced for good by his act. The
commercial spirit has no doubt entered
the missionary business, as it has en-
tered the church, the school, and, in
fact, every other human activity, but
so long as both the giver and the re-
ceiver are benefited by it, the system
has a legitimate cause for existence"

We extend friendly greet
ing to Congress which is to be with
US yet and again on Monday. They
arc hard WORKERS and they will con-
tinue to be 50 for some time to
come, strange as this may seem.
Just see what they have done and
what they have undone, and you can
sum up for yourself. And the mile
age? you ask. With a mAgnanimous
wave Of their delicately chiseled
profile, and their scented Whiskers
playing zephyr sounds on Aeclian
harps, the Emcees bowed with the
exquisite politeness and elegance Of
the manicrred. masssged, and
French-heeled courtiers Of the period
Of Louis the RaVishing. Their
naughty mien and pink-shell ears
bore the aspect Of haggzrd misery
as. with lAcerated feelings and NOR
tally wounded pride the Emcees re-
fused with trembling. but stylishly
tailored hands, the mileage which q
liberal government almost offered
then with a lavish hand. They cried
out in anguish, Nay, nay, it was
not thus to be-" using the words Of
Heinrich Heine. The public con-
science is awakening. One might al
most be tempted to assert that it is
already awake. Realizing that the
Thanksgiving turkey has not yet
been paid for; that the cost Of liy-
ing is getting more aguavatinE every
hour. that the children must have
warm socks, and that Xmas Is be
fore our doors. likewise the landlord
and the tradespeople, the question
presents itself TO an unselfsh and
irquinng mind, whittier are we
driftingI'' 1t seems almost ana
chronistic to record that the mileage
is some figure in the budget Of even
the wealthiest and most unselhsh Of
our country's EmceS.

THE OPEN FORUM
Monument to "Joe" Wheeler.

10
To the Editor: Your civil war his.
tory published in The Herald is indeed
very interesting. Looking over the his
tory of the unrighteous killing Of mil
lions of human souls during that bloody
war our minds are called back to the
MANY things which IL would be well to
forget. And, on the other hand. 1t
serves to help us to brighten up on many
things which should ever be remember
ed.
And, be 1t remembered that some Of
the bravest men OF the South. who took
up arms against the Stars and stripes,
came back with as full determination to
defend the Union as they did to destroy
II. And chief among them was one Of
the bravest soldiers the South has ever
produced; but IL seems that even the
peopIe of his own State, Alabama, has
forgotten him. We refer to the famous
Fighting Joe Wheeler.
And II the Hon. James T. Hefiin. OF
Alabama, could see his way clear to stop
abusing the colored people Of this coun-
try. Cwho are the best friends of the
white people in the SOUTH long enough
to strive to have a memorial erected to
the memory OF that brave little soldier,
whose body lies buried in the National
Cemetery at Arlington. Va, he would
be doing something far more in keeping
with the dignity and duties of a states
man.
Gen Wheeler was one man who caused
Gems. Grant and Sherman to sit up and
take notice during those trying days.
But he came back into the Union: not
in words only. but in deed He resigned
his seat In the United States Congress
TO defend the Stars and Stripes against
Spain. And his bravery will be told TO
the little Spaniard yet unborn. And why
should Alabama so soon forget him? A
memorial should be erected in Washing
ton to the memory OF Gen. Joe Wheeler.
What say the people OF Alabama?
