THE FALLS SCENERY

Who has taken thought of the de-
Iightful weather with which the
Capital has been blessed this fall ?
Or taken advantage Of it?
Perhaps, if you are not a member
of the Hikers, you have Ii, ther
thought about it nor benefited by it.
But Washington has been given the
most glorious fall weather imagin-
able. Not in years has the country
in this section been so dry and pleas
ant, so devoid of chilling damp
spells. Those cold winds that make
walking anything but a pleasure
have been absent. 1t has been pos
sible to take long walks into the sur
rounding country almost any day.
City dwellers are a strange folk,
generally. When they want to stroll,
they go into the center of their hive,
looking at the same sights day after
day. A building, however beautiful,
is forever the same. Were they to
make their way to the surrounding
Suburban sections, they would see

FUNDS AND THE PLAGUE

If the funds to pay for cattle
killed in the effort to exterminate
the foot-and-mouth disease are eX-
hausted, it would be worth while to
have an extra session of Congress
called to provide. them.
This is real emergency. 1t is
not political situation. There is
no election at hand, which may be
affected by the action taken in this
connection. There is no chance for
manufacturing political buncombe.
There is involved, simply the great,
big question of protecting, while
there is yet time, one of the very
greatest industries of this continent.
while there is yet time!" That
is the essential element; time. Either
a few cattle must be destroyed NOW
in order to end the plaques spread,
or else the national livestock indus
try is threatened with perhaps the
greatest disaster it has ever faced.
Just one method will suffice to sus-
tain the Governments campaign Of
eradication. The man who fears
that he has a case of the disease in
his herd, must be made to under
stand that he WILL LOSE MOTH
ING by being perfectly honest about
it.
He must be made to understand
that if he TELLS THE TRUTH it
will not injure him.
Let him know that if his suspicion
is correct, if he has the disease in
his herd, he will not lose that herd,
and then he will come forward and
give the authorities the information
without which they cannot possibly
conduct an effective campaign of
In short, let the Government make
ample provision to pay for stock that
must be killed in suppression of the
and 1t Will be possible to
it.
Every head of stock killed should
be paid for at a proper appraised
value. In the end it will be vastly
cheaper to do this than to conduct a
still-hunt for people who are sup
pressing the truth.

Thirteen Give Evidence i'm

\ new record was made bv Judge
Mullowny IN the Police Court Yesterday
in the rapidity of the examination of
witnesses. when thirteen of them tes-
tifed in case in the space of two
minutes and fourteen seconds. The
greater portion of the population OF
DiXon's court was present TO testify
in counter charges of disorderly con-
duct preferred between Elizabeth Eas-
ton, or "Flickum. as her associates
called her, and Gertrude, Sarah and

DEFIANT SAN MARINO.

The kaiser's surprise at being Sc
firmly opposed in Belgium may be
exceeded by his amazement at the
boldnesS Of San Marino, which has
defied him. The little nation of ten
thousand people, which makes up for
being the second smallest republic by
being the oldest state in Europe
came to the attention of the war folk
by continuing to maintain on Monte
Titanic a wireless station which is in
direct communication with the Eitfel
Tower. The Kaiser, it is understood,
wished San Marino to demolish the
tower, as it affords France an easy
means of communication with the
Adriatic and elsewhere. The an
swer of the little state was: "The
Republic of San Marino, strong in
its right, has never permitted inter
ference by other states in its internal
affairs"
To make war upon San Marino
the Kaiser would be obliged to ir-
wade Italy, upon whose bosom the
little republic nestles, Italy having a
treaty Of friendship with the tiny
state.

HELPING THE CITIES.

At the gathering of municipal ex-
ecutives which has been sitting in
Philadelphia this week, there has
been evident decided increase in
the demand for settlement of munich
pal problems by public ownership of
public utilities.
Mayor Harrison, of Chicago, who
is one of the most experienced mu-
nicipal authorities and executives in
the country, made some rather start
ling suggestions. They must be given
attention, too, because under the
Harrison regime Chicago has made
magnificent progress toward better
civic conditions.
Mr.. Harrison told his hearers that
he favored municipal ownership; and
after that, municipal operation. Chi
cago has ownership, in part, of it's
street railways; but not municipal
operation. Beyond that he favors
eliminating the contract system of
doing public work, and would have
cities do their own work, hiring the
men and managing the entire oper-
alton through its own engineers.
Mayor Harrison's program would
have been regarded, a very few
years ago, as dangerously radical
Today it is accepted as reasonable.
logical, and practically as inevitable.
There is plenty of evidence that one
of the great evolutions in the public
life of the country in the near fu-
ture will be the movement toward
municipal ownership. AS against eff
forts at public control through mu-
nicipal or State utility commissions,
the experience all seems to point TO-
ward ownership.

SOCCER FOOTBALL.

In these closing days of the foot
ball campaigns, with Harvard and
Yale and Princeton and the rest bat
tling away at the American college
game, it is well to consider the Won
derful rise of soccer football in this
country. In the forefront of this
soccer campaign is the Washington
soccer football club, the members of
which are striving with might and
main to spread liking for the sport
among the school boys of the Capt.
tai. And may they succeed!
Getting out in the cool, crisp
weather of winter is the best thing
possible for the growing boy. Ameri-
can youths, however, are so consti-
tuted that they want to engage in
some game that will hold their at
tention. Soccer does this admirably.
1t calls for strength. agility, endur-
ance. 1t equalizes the big and the
small boy. 1t does away with the
advantage of weight. In soccer the
small but active lad has just as
much chance of becoming good
player as the larger but slower boy.
Personal contact, the principal char
acteristic of American football. does
not obtain in soccer.
Realizing the many benefits pos
sible to be derived from soccer, if
taken up by boys in the schools. the
members of the Washington soccer
club have volunteered to teach the
game at the various Fairgrounds in
the Capital This offer has been &C
cepted, and now some half dozen
men who learned the game in Eng
land and now play it for exercise,
are instructing the boys. Perhaps
in a year or so Washington will
boast its success in soccer, as it now
does in the American style of play.
Four years ago Baltimore had two
soccer teams. Today some four
hundred teams play it all through
the winter. Perhaps it will be the
same story in Washington. If it is,
all praise will be due the Washing
ton soccer club which is giving its
time and efforts to spread a game
that seldom Injuries and always
benefits.

WEATHER NEWS BARKED

The French government has for
hidden the publication or transmits.
sion of meteorological data or fore
casts. At first blush this might
seem rather foolish; but on examina-
ton it will appear one Of the most
sensible uses yet made by any gov
ernment of the censorship.
In fact, if the censors and the au-
thorities behind them would be as
reasonable and sane in other regula-
tons as they have been in this one,
the public both at home and abroad
would have less complaint to enter.
The British public was allowed to
know about the loss of the Pacific
squadron off Chile, nearly week af-
ter it had taken place. The Germans,
the Americans, the whole world in
fact, knew the substantial facts be-
fore the British admiralty allowed
the first facts to get to the public;
and even when the delayed inforn1a-
ton was given out, it was accompan-
led by some broad intimations that
it was only German yarn anyhow,
and that the admiralty had reason
to suspect that the full reports would
make the engagement look very
much more favorable to the British,
if not a British victory. What ad-
vantage could possibly be gained by
such an employment of the author
ity over information, is beyond imag-
nation.
The reasons for wanting to con-
troll weather news, on the other
hand, are apparent. Germany is at
disadvantage, because Of her isola-
ton, in getting weather data. The
region of the North Sea is one in
which detailed weather knowledge is
of the greatest Importance in con-
nection with every kind of operation,
but especially naval. Surprise at
tacks by either land or sea must be
made at night or under cover of fogs
or storms. To know the weather
prospect for number of hours
ahead is therefore of the greatest
advantage to commander. France
snd England naturally don't want

ROCKY ROAD TO PEACE

Bringing about peace in baseball i!

have thought. For instance, think o1
those players who jumped their con

They cannot we'll be turned out il

lihood. Some provision must be
made for them. If they are accept.
ed in major league circles, what re.
ward has the loyal player, who de.
clined tempting offers from the Fed
erals?
According to President Gilmore,
the Federal League is willing to
come to terms, but not to surrender
abjectly. For one thing, the Federal
League, through its president, insists
on remaining "major league" If
Gilmore is correct, baseball peace is
far away; for organized baseball is
already making plans for taking
over at least two of the moneyed
hackers of the Federals. Mr.. Gilmore
says that the Federal League will
stay in the fight as a major league" D."
but with Mr.. Weeghman purchasing
the Chicago National League club,
and Ball and Stifel buying the St..
Louis National League club, it will
be necessary for Mr.. Gilmore to dis
cover and run to earth others willing
to shoulder the burden of combat
ing the powerful forces of organ
lied baseball.
Ban Johnson and Garry Hermann
are working on plans that include
the merging of various Federal
League teams with minor league
teams. If President Gilmore is able
to obtain the proper support, this
scheme may fall through. 1t is pos
sible, however, that doing away with
the draft in the cases of the larger
minor leagues, thus virtually placing
them in the same position as the
majors as regards keeping their
may bring an end to this
warning situation which has all but
wrecked baseball the country over.
We are told that a meeting in
Cincinnati some time this week will
see solution to the puzzle. Per-
haps, if Messrs. Johnson, Hermann,
Weeghman, ct al, will show each
other their books for the season of
1914, they will all the more quickly
come to a settlement.
