The AQueduct Bridge.

Representative Carlins bill providing
for the construction of a new bridge
across the Potomac river. to replace the
Aqueduct bridge, is in the hands of the
District Commissioners for a report upon
the technical and economic aspect of the
matter. But In general terms there can
be no question as to the advisabilty. even
the necessity, of the early substitution
OF modern, commodious, trustworthy
structure spanning the river at that point.
The Aqueduct bridge outlved its useful
ness years ago. 1t has for at least two
decades been subject to grave suspicion
on the score of its strength. owing to the
impairment of Its piers. which have re-
quired constant repairs to render them
capable of bearing the load put upon
them. The addition of electric car tracks
has increased the burden and subjected
the bridge to a peculiar strain to support
which it was not originally designed. The
traffic across it has increased greatly I'M
til now it is barely adequate in normal
conditions to accommodate it, while at
times Of heavy travel to Arlington it Is
positively in dangerous condition of con-
gestion.
Conditions are exceptionally favorable
at this point for an attractive, trust
worthy bridge structure. The high banks
on the two sides of the river afford
natural approaches and if the cost is not
too great graceful suspension structure
should be thrown over the stream for
which the situation is peculiarly suitable
In any case. the use of piers is not es-
sential and they should be avoided, as
Offering an obstruction to the free dow
of the river at a point where it is highly
desirable that the channel should be left
open. Every year adds to the value of
bridge at this point, for the land on the
Virginia side of the river is being rapidly
developed and in a few more seasons the
present single structure giving access to
it will be sadly insufficient to accommo-
date the traffic
Action now is urgently desirable. Eco
nomic considerations should not be per-
mitted to weigh prohibitively against the
obvious needs of the situation The
money is assuredly to be spared for
public work of such Importance, involv-
ing as it does even the safety of the
thousands who daily use this means of
crossing the river. a multitude constantly
increasing and deserving of prompt relief
from a condition which seriously affects
their welfare.

Politics and the Tolls Question.

In his speech on the canal tolls aues-
tion Mr.. Tillman expressed the opinion
that the President erred in bringing
forward repeal before the November
elections Everything was going well
with the democracy until the repeal
proposition was introduced Why have
disturbed situation so tranquil and
promising? 1t was poor politics.
This opinion is open to two objections
n 1t ignores the pressure the President
felt himself under and t2) it suggests
second handling of the tolls question for
political purposes.
The President wanted support by Con-
gress in '.ungrudging measure" and
wanted it Immediately. He did not par
ticularize. but made 1t plain that he
needed it in his business. He did not
get il Immediately. but did get the
equivalent. Whatever the pressure. 1t
eased up from the day of his address 10
Congress confessing to his change OF
front on the tolls question. Whoever
the pressers, it was assumed by them
that his influence with Congress Wouio
enable him to deliver the goods.
Let US suppose the President WIN
holding public announcement OF MS
change of front until after November
Let US suppose another democrauc
House elected partly on the policy OF I'M
qualified American control Of the ran
anna canal. Then let US suppose the
President at the short session next WIN
ter or at the long session of the new
Congress on the eve of the next presi-
Dental campaign. producing his repeal
card from up his sleeve What would
have been the effect on the country?
This would have been the charge of
the opposition supported by the record:
that for the second time the democracy
for party purposes had juggled with the
tolls question. that it had spread it as
"molasses" both in 1912 and 1914, and
on both occasions caught flies with it,
As the President had changed his
mind it was both the fair and the
best thing for him to announce the fact
at once. He should not have wanted,
and did not want. to catch any more
flies by means of "molasses." The one
catch had been large. and he had ceased
to enjoy such swarming-
AS for the effect of the Presidents
course in November. that is problem
aticaI A new aspect of things has ap
peared. and will be presented to the
voters when this years campaigns open.
In addition to the tolls question proper.
there is now the question of how far.
If at all. a foreign power should be per-
mitted to interfere in matters OF our
domestic concern. For it is the first
time that foreign pressure has been put
on an American President for such
purpose. and through him Congress.
BY comparison with that. the economic
question involved is picayune.

Good Times Coming!
rom the New York Times

From the New York Times.
The crops are pure gold. There is nc
explaining them away, nor depreciatins
them. The weeks addition to the idle
freight cars, and the unemployment whicl
politicians of certain sort so empha
size, are blessings more disguised, silver
threads amid the gold, SO to speak II
the cars were not unemployed we should
be pleading for relief against a pros
perity too great to be endured. If there
were no idle hands the harvest would be a
greater and perhaps insoluble problem
There is no excuse for unemployment
with the west sounding hurry calls tol
scores of thousands of men. The rail
ways will have no excuse for neglecting
other business In order to get the grain
to market. 1t is cause for no idle con
graduation that there is some quietness
of trade when the soil is producing mil
lions of tons which must be moved, OF
burned or exposed to destruction from
natural causes, since there are no prepa
rations for warehousing such unprece-
denied abundance.

Upton Sinclair Classified.

For some time past the news dispatches
have made frequent references to the
activities of Upton Sinclair. who sew
eral years ago attracted attention as the
writer of a rather sensational novel which
exposed conditions in the packing houses
of Chicago and resulted in the passage of
a federal law for the inspection of those
establishments. 1t was said at the time
that Sinclair was very much disappointed
at the reception accorded to his book,
which undertook to tell story of social
ism primarily and only incidentally re-
lated to the packing house evils. He
complained that he had tried to appeal
that he had only appealed to the Amer
lean stomach. However that may be-
Sinclair made very welcome profit out
of the publication and with it was en-
abIed to start cooperative colony of
socialists. one of whose ideas was the
communal ownership of babies. Another
was the wearing of peculiar clothes and
the eating Of equally peculiar foods. After
time the colony split. as such colonies
usually do, and for a time Sinclair lapsed
into obscurity. Then he came to the sur
face OF the current Of events through Pc
culiar matrimonial experience which re-
suited in his election to the ranks of
grass widowerhood, and then once more
he was submerged by more important af-
fairs. Lately he has been much in evil
dence as the result of his espousal Of the
cause Of the Colorado miners and his
violent denunciations of John d. Rookie
Teller and his son. owing to their owner
ship of large interests in the mines of the
troubled state. A short time ago he
organized a death march" in front OF
the Rockefeller headquarters in New
York and afterward performed a SIM
liar stunt in Chicago. Next he headed a
squad of !. W. W.s-who are facetiously
STYLED the Il Won't Werks''-and ad-
vanced on Tarrytoun with the avowed
object Of forcing a way into the Rookie
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1914-06-11

Teller estate TO deliver direct protest
to the oil magnate. But the authorities
of Tarrytown blockaded the path and de-
clared that the right Of free speech did
not extend to Sinclair and his vociferous
associates. and at present the redoubtable
Upton is bewailing the death OF liberty
and making all sorts of a fuss. But his
woes are not over. for now comes Victor
Berger. famous as the first socialist ever
elected to Congress. who in an interview
in New York has declared that Sinclair
is simply an ass" This summary class
iflcation and disposal OF the leader OF a
great movement must be bitter blow
indeed to the active young man who has
proved that publicity is. after all. one OF
the easiest OF modern achievements.

Hot Wave Hints.
From the Pittsburgh Dispatch.

Health departments are prolific with hot
weather hints that il needed minimize
danger of prostration and tend to secure
some degree of physical comfort during
the torrid spell. All well and good SO fan
as personal considerations are concerned
But there is another hot wave hint tina,
should not be forgotten. These little self
denials and precautions, upsetting and in
convenient though they may be, are more
or less cheerfully borne because of the
prospect of personal relief. How abou
the helpless and unfortunate ones in tn.
tenements, whose sufferings are agonizeG
and too often fatal in spells like this? 4
passing thought and mite given 70,
them will help the Milk and Ice Associa
ton to carry DEMONSTRATING relief to thos.
to whom the hot wave brings the shadow
of death.

Reckless Automobile Driving
ON the Chicago Record H erald


The automobile has come to stay, but
not to MAIN and kill There may have
been contributory negligence on the par
of pedestrians in some of the cases re
ported and that the thieves who breal
in and steal automobiles should come t
grief themselves and be public men
ace on the road is to be expected. Blu
1t is no longer permissible to discuss the
machines as II they were wild locomo
tives, trackless and ungovernable. TIL,
careful driver has them completely at hi:
command. The careless driver, whether
he is a thief or not, is candidate fol
discipline. and the discipline should b
severe enough to awaken a lively sens,
of personal responsibility.

The parrot is gentle bird
Whose life is free from care.
The language which from him is hea
He picks up here and there.
AS he sends forth on every hand
His gems of vocal art
His auditors admiring stand
And say: is he not smart"

But she can only COO.
And all uncertain is the way
She travels unprepared.

New York's Taxi Ordinance.
m the New York Tribune

.NtW
The decision of the court of appeals
holding constitutional the reduced rate
taxicab ordinance vindicates this city S
right to its streets. 1t sets at rest per
manently the contention of most of the
hotels and clubs that they can reap a
profit from the public by extracting huge
rentals for cab stands in the public S
streets. which the public must pay in
cab fares far higher than they should be.
