Echoes Street Car Complaints.

To the Editor OF the Mail Bag:
l have been reading regularly the let
ters in this department and the greater
part cf them express my sntiments to a
IT" Those regarding the street car
system more than express my senti-
ments. All Of US whose incomes will not
permit the luxury of an automobile
must husmble- ourselves before these
$2.25 per day monarchs, never to be
exalted. When a man is in a hurry, he
acts wisely by walking. When a person
wishes to alight at an unfamiliar street,
he or she must depend upon the social
blity and intelligence of fellow travel
ers. not the duty Of His Majesty--the
conductor When bill, or a half dollar
piece, or a quarter piece, is intrusted to
his clumsy hands, he forces you to take
tickets offtimes without your permission,
then makes it public question for de-
bate should you attempt to demand your
change. Nearly every one in and about
the District Of Columbia contributes
letters to your columns, and at least
so per cent of these letters bear COM
plants against the failings Of the street
car systm. Why cannot something be
done" B. NJ. BALLINGTON.

Status of Army-Navy Game.

To the Editor of the Mail Bag:
Try to obtain tickets for the Army
Navy football game and you will un-
derstand why those connected with
one arm of the Government military
system as the clerks in the Navy De-
partment have just reason for com
plant about their inability to obtain
these priceless pasteboards.
1t might be we'll TO understand that
the Army Navy that the public has
an entirely false impression concern
ing this meeting. The Army-NaVy
game is not like an ordinary foot
bali match between two Independent
colleges but is as official as any drill
OF other assignment given at either
West Point or Annapolis. The cadets
and midshipmen and their respective
teams go to the battle ground, not
simply by permission Of the author
ities but under specific orders from
their superiors.
This means that the whole affair is
official and it seems to be sad re
Election there is no Government
grounds in the Capital to stage one
.of the few official athletic events OF
the year Why not start an agitation
at once to have the game played
here every year by having built a

without a pull" so they can have
some chance against the influential
ones. NJ r. L.

Poor Ventilation In Street Cars,

TO the Editor ~ the Mail T'ag:

To the Editor OF the Mail Bag:
| know no wiser move the municipal
government could make than to estab-
lish a free employment bureau in this
city There are many men and women.
boys. and girls. hunting employment,
and it not unfrequently happens that
they are forced to seek refuge through
the aid of some of the local employment
agencies. These agencies require the
applicant to promise A large percentage
of his first weeks salary. in addition to
a registration fee. which is spot cash.
In event no position is procured, the ap-
plicant, of course, forfeits this fee.
Many an earnest seeker after employ
ment fain would register with one of
these local agencies and consent to pay
the eXorbitant fee, but is unable to

understood. would be established for

Street Car Ventilation Poor.

To the Editor Of the Mail BAG:
II appears that some of your Mail Bag
readers object TO the practice Of writ
ing about grievances and troubles TO the
editor; they overlook the value OF adver-
Using. For the best means Of combat
ting an evil. usually, is to make it pub
lie; 1t beats telling your troubles TO a
policeman And another criticism is.
Whenever people have gumption enough
- voice their troubles, they are styled
knockers and "kickers" by the mega
tive class Of people who are toe amiable
t. say anything, but who are always
ready 10 spring forward and take ad-
vantage Of improved conditions rs soon
~ the knockers have succeeded in
bringing about a reform.

les by bringing to your notice my great

When Charities Take a Holiday.

To the Editor Of the Mail Bag:
Recently had occasion to attempt TO
get a man who was i'll and in destitute
circumstances in some hospital on a
Saturday afternoon. l found that to
have him admitted it was necessary to
get a certificate from the District Board
Of Charities. Their Offices were closed,
and ! was obliged TO chase around :he
city for more than three hours to find
some one in authority who would give
the word necessary to get this unfoi-
tunate man in hospital
II seems to me that there is need of
scrne power being invested in the police.
go that when the charities office is
closed, as on Saturday afternoons and
Sundays, il would be possible to sct
persons who are seriously i'll, but not
in need of what is termed emergency"
treatment. in a hospital without a lot
OF red tape and much delay.

Takes Issue With R. w. Seton.

To the Editor Of the Mail Bag
r. w. Seton. in the Mail Bag, makes
a plea for the saddening of Christmas
time in sympathy with the weeping
widows, orphans. and heart broken
sweethearts," victims of the war on the
other side of the water.
While agreeing that it would be we'll
10 dispense with useless Christmas
giving and devote the money thus spent
10 the relief of those whose Guletide
must necessarily be a horror, yet ]
feel that Christmas. the children's fes-
tlval, should be as full of happiness
and jollity as possible for their sakeS.
Laughter is always close to tears.
Can't we indulge in our holiday merry
making, within our hearts an under
current of sympathy and sorrow for
those in such deep trouble?

,b. Editor of the Mail Bag:

To the Editor of the Mail Bag:
II President Wilson is successful in
settling the labor difficulties in Colo
rado he will have added another hu-
ma nitarian accomplishment to the
long list of unusual acts for which he
has been responsible since his inaug-
ura ton less than two years ago.
Every person who is worthy of the
title of American citizen will hope
that the President may be able to
bring order cut of chaos in the West
crn State. which has been "erSing on
civil war for some time due to The
stubbornness of the millionaire owners
of the mines and likewise the head
strong Workmen in their employ.
Rloodshed, however. should be pre-
vented. no matter where the blame
lies, and every loyal American Will
trust that President Wilson Will be
successful in restoring peace IN the
troubled Western commonwealth.

. Presidents Letter Shown In Theaters

To the Editor OF the Mail Bag:
In the many praises of President Will
son that are being sung for the general
excellence of his administration. Why
not give him creoit for his foresight and
Judgment in having displayed in moving
picture theaters. where war nlms are
shown, the fac-simile of a letter asking
that the audience refrain from any
demonstration of approval or disap-
proval?
No doubt the communication, with the
signature of the Chief Executive al
tached, has had much to do in prevent
ing trouble when those present mlsht
otherwise have cheered or jeered. ac-
cording 10 their feelings toward the
different nations engaged.
The President has certainly acted
wisely and we'll in taking this precau-
tion. PATRIOT.

Wants His Charity Undiluted.

To the Editor of the Mail Bag:
I dent mind lending a helping hand
to the fellow who is down and out. but
l do want to register a kick against
the type of beggars who persistcntly
canvass the office buildings and force
people to buy all manner of things for
which they can have no possible use.
The average person. 1 assume. would
greatly prefer giving the money out
right. One can't help experiencing a
feeling of resentment when approached
with the old, old cry, Wont you buy
a tract TO help this worthy cause?"
Who wants the tract? The average
human being would respond much more
cheerfully If merely asked to contribute
few pennies toward the worthy cause.
Ask and I will give, but don't sell me
something ] don't want.
